| Recovering the Soul | ||
|
- Larry Dossey, MD |
1989 | |
|
In this thoughtful and thought-provoking book, Larry Dossey
provides an alternative view of human consciousness--a theory of mind and being
independent of matter, time, and space. As a physician, Dossey has often confronted events
and miraculous cures in his patients that cannot be explained by conventional science.
Drawing from the latest scientific research, Dr. Dossey synthesizes the ideas of eminent
scientists such as Schrödinger, Einstein, Gödel, and Margenau, with the time-honored
knowledge of visionaries and mystics to present convincing evidence for a nonlocal,
holistic view of mind and reality that can explain transcendental experiences. In short,
he provides new proof of the existence of the soul. |

- Matthew Fox & Rupert Sheldrake |
1997 | |
|
The chasm between science and religion has been a source of intellectual and spiritual tension for centuries, but in these groundbreaking dialogues here is a
remarkable consonance between these once opposing camps. In Natural Grace, Rupert
Sheldrake and Matthew Fox show that not only is the synthesis of science and
spirituality possible, but it is unavoidable when one considers the extraordinary
insights they have both come upon in their work. Sheldrake, who has changed
the face of modern science with his revolutionary theory of morphic resonance, and
Fox, whose work in creation spirituality has had a significant impact on people's
sense of spirit, balance each other with their unique yet highly complementary points
of view. In these inspired dialogues a variety of ancient topics--including ritual,
prayer, and the soul--are freed from the past and given new power for the future in
the liberated universe Fox and Sheldrake show us. |

| The End of Suffering |
|
|
|
- Russell Targ & J. J. Hurtak |
2006 | |
|
The hopeful teaching of this book is that while everybody suffers, most of this suffering is unnecessary--it can be overcome. The legacy of Aristotle is that we think that things must be either true or untrue. Thus we tend to think in terms of polarities; good or evil, right or wrong, Democrat or Republican. This friend-or-foe approach may seem to make life easier, but Russell Targ and J. J. Hurtak assert that this worldview only increases our experience of suffering. In an effort to overcome the polarity of opposites and the accompanying suffering, the authors combine the wisdom of the East with the findings of quantum physics, and uncover a middle ground that shows opposing sides have only the meaning we give them. Buddha taught us to live a helpful and compassionate life and to surrender our ego to the peace of spaciousness. The middle path of Buddhism shows that things may also be neither true nor not true, or both true and untrue. Remarkably, recent discoveries in modern physics echo these ancient teachings. This inspiring book puts these perceived opposites--Buddhism and physics--together
and shows, step-by-step, how we can learn to surrender the story of who we think we
are and experience an end to our suffering. |

| Soul Moments |
|
|
|
- Phil Cousineau |
1997 | |
|
Phil Cousineau has put together a fascinating collection of...intriguing stories [ of synchronicity] from well-know authors such as Houston Smith and Larry Dossey, as well as people from many other walks of life. Borrowing examples from literature, poetry, myths, and movies such as Casablanca, Cousineau shows that synchronicity is an unfolding, a sudden connection to our soul and destiny. Recognizing these soul moments help us follow the thread of our lives and sense the invisible bonds that connect us. |
