In our current era of holy terror, passionate faith has come to seem like a present danger. Writers such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens have been happy to throw the baby out with the bathwater and declare that the danger is in religion itself. God, Hitchens writes, is not great. But man, according to George E. Vaillant, M.D., is great. In Spiritual Evolution, Dr. Vaillant lays out a brilliant defense not of organized religion but of man’s inherent spirituality. Our spirituality, he shows, resides in our uniquely human brain design and in our innate capacity for emotions like love, hope, joy, forgiveness, and compassion, which are selected for by evolution and located in a different part of the brain than dogmatic religious belief. Evolution has made us spiritual creatures over time, he argues, and we are destined to become even more so. Spiritual Evolution makes the scientific case for spirituality as a positive force in human evolution, and he predicts for our species an even more loving future. Vaillant traces this positive force in three different kinds of “evolution”: the natural selection of genes over millennia, of course, but also the cultural evolution within recorded history of ideas about the value of human life, and the development of spirituality within the lifetime of each individual. For thirty-five years, Dr. Vaillant directed Harvard’s famous longitudinal study of adult development, which has followed hundreds of men over seven decades of life. The study has yielded important insights into human spirituality, and Dr. Vaillant has drawn on these and on a range of psychological research, behavioral studies, and neuroscience, and on history, anecdote, and quotation to produce a book that is at once a work of scientific argument and a lyrical meditation on what it means to be human. Spiritual Evolution is a life’s work, and it will restore our belief in faith as an essential human striving.

This book is one of a kind. It traces the history of human awareness of God and belief back to its earliest roots, long before the Bible, the Koran, the Upanishads and other writings. It shows how the foundation for belief in God was contained within the instant of creation itself. Scientists call this the big bang. It shows that as the universe developed there came a point in human development where we had the capability to begin to be aware of an afterlife. These ideas were primitive by our standards today but they served to create a solid foundation for increasing complex and more thorough understandings of who God is and our relationship with Him. This book covers the well known axial age where there was a watershed or flood of prophets and holy men who advanced understandings of both philosophy and theology and science in the hundreds of years before the coming of Jesus Christ. In a real sense they prepared the way for God’s son and His gospel. It is these men who changed the course of human understanding of God with new revolutionary ideas that advanced the self revelation of God to humankind. The last part of the book looks at religion today and how we got here and ends with God’s view of humanity as we constantly strive toward God on our individual spiritual journeys.

Where Science Meets Spiritualism Spiritual Evolution: How Science Redefines Our Existence seeks to create a model for spiritual existence that incorporates the most profound scientific discoveries of the last 100 years. Part I helps guide you through traditional dogma and open up to possibilities far beyond what we currently know. Part II takes you through a journey of scientific discoveries and critical insights. From these insights, Professor Kennedy builds a basic model of human existence which redefines what it means to be spiritual in the 21st century. Why are we here? Does science offer insight on human beings connection with the Divine? What is God? What is the Universe? How do we reconcile science and spirituality? What is the difference between religion and spirituality? What prevents you from "seeing" outside the box? Professor Kennedy attempts to address these beguiling questions and more by combining modern logic and science with spiritualism. The results will hopefully surprise and inspire you.

What are your thoughts on evolution? Physical evolution is a reality, but have you ever considered that it is only part of the story? "Our Spiritual Evolution: Transcending the Third Dimension" is about looking at life through a spiritual evolutionary lens. More and more spiritual teachers in the 21st century are seeing life in this way! The book helps you easily develop this outlook by offering a concise and accessible description of how all of life and the universe came to be -- and gives meaning to our lives as a part of this process. The book's essential theory is provided in the form of a "dialogue" where we begin to consider how all of the universe sprang forth from one source. Each "part" of the universe--including ourselves--is experiencing life feeling separate and apart from everything else. Yet we also feel that we are connected to something that transcends our individual lives and is calling us forward to a greater life--we are evolving individually and collectively towards some greater expansiveness. Building on this overview, this brief book then offers introductions to the concepts of "big history," the emergence of conscious awareness, our evolution of worldviews and Spiral Dynamics, New Thought and the Science of Mind, where we are on this evolutionary journey and the evolution of our idea of God. The book concludes with considerations of how we might live our lives from this spiritual evolutionary viewpoint. Ultimately, "Our Spiritual Evolution" is about navigating that dynamic tension between being motivated by two worlds simultaneously -- one our physical-animalistic past through which we have evolved; the other our spiritual truth that pulls us towards a higher future. Developing a spiritual evolutionary outlook provides both greater meaning for our individual life and offers guidance on how to live the best life possible. "Our Spiritual Evolution" sets the stage and basic theory that are discussed further in the author's books "Our Spiritual Rights and Responsibilities" where he outlines what it means to be a human being moving through this evolutionary process and "Becoming a Spiritual Change Agent" where he offers guidance on how to assist the evolutionary process.

Excerpt from Spiritual Evolution or Regeneration: The Law and Process for Unfolding the Christ in Consciousness These Private Lessons in Practical Christian Metaphysics are offered to the public in response to many requests from our students, some of whom came into the Spiritual Consciousness through them. They are offered in the same spirit of assurance in which they have always been given in class work. Their didactic form comes from this first use of them as the necessity of class teaching. And we have allowed this form to remain, because we conceive it quite possible, that this may prove the more effective way to impart the basic principles of Truth to any reader, who will consider himself a student while reading them. We have made certain portions of the Bible the basis of our reasoning; because those portions contain the essential and fundamental principles of the philosophy of the eternal order of all Evolution, whether Cosmical or Spiritual.

Moving Beyond The Christian Myth takes the next step beyond Sloat's first book on spirituality, A Handbook For Heretics. He explores the roots of the Christian faith, tracing them back to their pagan origins in ancient religions. Then, one by one, he analyzes the essential beliefs of Christianity, showing how they cannot literally be true. The various chapters contend that: Christianity is a religious myth We don't need a savior The Bible is not the Word of God Jesus is not God The church is more political than spiritual The remainder of the book is filled with stories of mystical experiences which demonstrate how the spirit world is an integral part of our daily lives. These topics include: Out-of-Body Experiences, Visions, Past Life Recalls, After Death Communication, Angel Communication, Pre-Birth Experiences and Coincidence. Sloat argues that these stories reveal spiritual truths which are not part of the traditional teachings of religion. He asks the church to admit that its story is based on myth rather than literal truth, he urges the church to incorporate these experiences into its belief system, and he concludes by presenting a vision of a future in which people can worship God as the creator, not of a religion based on the fear of hell, but of a spiritual kingdom founded on love, light and hope. This book will be an inspiration to all those who are seeking something beyond the mythological teaching of the past. About the Author John W. Sloat, a former Presbyterian minister, served churches in Pennsylvania and Ohio for over 40 years. He holds a B.A. from Denison University, 1954; an M.Div. from Princeton Seminary, 1957; and a Th.M. from Pittsburgh Seminary, 1977. Previous books include Lord, Make Us One (non-fiction, 1986); The Other Half (fiction, 2001); Memories of My Misadventures (fiction, 2008); and A Handbook For Heretics (non-fiction, second edition, 2009). Several of his sermons have been included in Pulpit Digest, a national preaching journal. He has been married to Helen Burdick Sloat, a psychiatric nurse, for 56 years, and they have three children, eight grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. A pianist and organist, Sloat also plays the French horn, is a scratch model builder, and leads spirituality groups.

How are we to reconcile a literal reading of the Creation story in the Bible with what science tells us of how the universe and humankind came to be? Based on the ideas of Emanuel Swedenborg, E. Kent Rogers's Seven Days of Spiritual Evolution points the way to a deeper symbolic meaning hidden within the narrative of Genesis 1. Using his experience as a mental health counselor and spiritual practitioner, he develops practical techniques for spiritual growth on our own personal journey from the darkness to the light.
