Is there any way to be spiritual without denying rationality? This book is an attempt to answer that question. It is a must read for rational Westerners who long for some form of spirituality in their lives. The first half of the book is a critique of current religious and spiritual options. The critique addresses organized religion, the twelve-step program, and the spiritual-but-nonreligious approach, all of which have serious shortcomings. The second half of the book offers a new approach to spirituality; a trans-rational approach. The seeds sown will hopefully fertilize a vigorous discussion about what it means to be spiritual. At the very least, the book will challenge ideas about religion and spirituality and bring the reader closer to a personal approach that includes, but is not limited to, rationality.

Why does the universe exist and what are you supposed to do in it? This question has been addressed by religions since time immemorial, but popular answers often fail to account for obvious aspects of reality. Indeed, if God knows everything, why do we need to learn through pain and suffering? If God is omnipotent, why are we needed to do good? If the universe is fundamentally good, why are wars, crime, and injustice all around us? In modern society, orthodox science takes the rational high-ground and tackles these contradictions by denying the very need for, and the existence of, meaning. Indeed, many of us implicitly accept the notion that rationality somehow contradicts spirituality. That is a modern human tragedy, not only for its insidiousness, but for the fact that it is simply not true. In this book, the author constructs a coherent and logical argument for the meaning of existence, informed by science itself. A framework is laid out wherein all aspects of human existence have a logical, coh

Rational spirituality? surely this is a contradiction in terms?How can spirituality be rational, when it relies on faith and revelation?The simple answer is it does not have to any more.Modern science tells us there is far more to the universe than the physical world we all perceive. And the explanation that most closely fits the facts for a range of verifiable phenomena, from near-death experiences to past-life memories, is that the soul exists separately from the physical body and reincarnates repeatedly.This book could only have been written in the twenty-first century, because it uses the latest breakthroughs in scientific and psychological research to produce a truly revolutionary view of spirituality. By comparing this modern evidence with thousands of years of spiritual traditions, it finally provides rational answers to some of the most significant and intriguing questions ever posed by the human race:? What experiences do we have in the interlife between incarnations?? Do we plan all the major circumstances of our lives, both good and bad?? How does karma operate? Does it really involve ?action and reaction??? Can we be punished in the ways that traditional religions suggest?? What practical steps can we take to ensure our karma is progressive rather than repetitive?Piece by piece, this book uncovers startling evidence to support a scientific and rational belief in reincarnation and the interlife. It brings together a wide range of research ? including the incredible insights of thousands of ordinary regression subjects ? in a logical, objective way to produce a major breakthrough in our approach to spirituality.No one who reads this book will ever view life in the same way again. The spiritual worldview it describes is coherent and rational, and has the capability to propel humanity forwards to previously unexplored levels... if only we will let it.

The author of The End of Science chronicles the most advanced research into such experiences as prayer, fasting, and trances in this “great read” (The Washington Post). How do trances, visions, prayer, satori, and other mystical experiences “work”? What induces and defines them? Is there a scientific explanation for religious mysteries and transcendent meditation? John Horgan investigates a wide range of fields—chemistry, neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, theology, and more—to narrow the gap between reason and mystical phenomena. As both a seeker and an award-winning journalist, Horgan consulted a wide range of experts, including theologian Huston Smith, spiritual heir to Joseph Campbell; Andrew Newberg, the scientist whose quest for the “God module” was the focus of a Newsweek cover story; Ken Wilber, prominent transpersonal psychologist; Alexander Shulgin, legendary psychedelic drug chemist; and Susan Blackmore, Oxford-educated psychologist, parapsychology debunker, and Zen practitioner. Horgan explores the striking similarities between “mystical technologies” like sensory deprivation, prayer, fasting, trance, dancing, meditation, and drug trips. He participates in experiments that seek the neurological underpinnings of mystical experiences. And, finally, he recounts his own search for enlightenment—adventurous, poignant, and sometimes surprisingly comic. Horgan’s conclusions resonate with the controversial climax of The End of Science, because, as he argues, the most enlightened mystics and the most enlightened scientists end up in the same place—confronting the imponderable depth of the universe.

Have you ever wondered if there is a fundamental reason for most of humanity's problems? Why have we struggled for so long to deal with issues like inequality, poverty, oppression, corruption, environmental abuse and war? Why do billions of people continue to allow themselves to be deceived, subjugated and exploited? Why are there so many conflicting versions of morality and spirituality? Realizing Heaven delves into human consciousness in a search for the most rational approaches to such questions. Humanity has countless ongoing challenges, and Realizing Heaven proposes solutions that are clear--but potentially difficult--personal and societal choices of a moral and spiritual nature. Change has to start somewhere. Perhaps with you. Otto S. Hoolhorst was born in Indonesia to a Dutch father and Middle Eastern Jewish mother. He has lived in Australia for most of his life. A member of Mensa, the high IQ society, he spent decades pondering the human condition. Those explorations, which ranged across history, culture, religion, philosophy, science, engineering, commerce, politics and law, are reflected within these pages.

Rational Spirituality is quite possibly the most useful book on the subject of spiritual and psychic awareness ever written. In it, Koda describes the many mind blowing psychic experiences of his youth and his life long pursuit to understand how such phenomena could be possible. Along the way he personally discovered the phenomena of Visual Telepathy and developed a technique which enables essentially anyone to experience it in just minutes. From quantum mechanics to the Law of Attraction, drug use and self hypnosis to lucid dreaming and meditation, this book covers it all in a surprisingly rational manner. A chapter titled "Psychological Wisdom" provides simple observations which enable the reader to instantly escape from guilt and stress to live happily in the present. Another chapter describes "Psychic Sex and 20-Minute-Plus Female Orgasms," and the "Psychic Party Games" chapter can provide you and your friends with hours of amazing entertainment. There is also a mini-encyclopedia describing documented evidence of astonishing spiritual/psychic phenomena reported throughout history. It would be no surprise if this phenomenal book launches a resurgence of psychic awareness similar to the Spiritualist period of a century ago when millions of people worldwide were experiencing astounding psychic events at home circles in their living rooms.

As Euro-American culture turns resolutely away from religiosity toward spirituality and becomes increasingly post-Christian, the ordinary, everyday practice of Christian life is ever more questioned and in need of scrutiny. In this interdisciplinary analysis, Christians are first called to comprehend the excessive rationality that modernity has built into both the cognitive and organizational structure of contemporary Christian life. They are then summoned to personify an authentic attitude of humility, and in particular, the virtue of intellectual humility that is most challenged and tested by religious convictions. Going forward, Christians are subsequently invited to live their faith more as an internally differentiated and open spirituality, rather than an externally determined and regulated religiosity. When we exhaust our rationality and are confronted with its limitations, we are humbled by our finitude and animated by our spirituality.

Describes a Platonic personal spirituality based on reason that is readily accessible to people today. Michael LaFargue presents an important and accessible aspect of Platos legacy largely overlooked today: a variety of personal spirituality based on reason and centered on virtue. Platos Virtue-Forms are transcendent in their goodness, ideals that Platonists can use to improve character and become like God so far as is humanly possible. LaFargue constructs a model of inductive Socratic reasoning capable of acquiring knowledge of these perfect Virtue-Forms, then scales back claims about these Forms to what can be supported by this kind of reasoning. This is a critical theory, but also a pluralistic one that accommodates modern cultural diversity. A how-to chapter provides detailed descriptions of the rules of Socratic reasoning basic to this spirituality, which any interested individual can practice today. LaFargue supports his interpretation by a close reading of the Greek text of key passages in Platos dialogues. The work also undertakes a broader philosophical consideration, discussing the philosophical foundations proposed for this Platonism in relation to the thought of G. E. Moore, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Martin Heidegger, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Richard Rorty.

There is persuasive evidence from near-death and out-of-body experiences that the physical brain is merely the instrument through which our soul consciousness expresses itself in the physical world. There is equally persuasive evidence from children and adults who spontaneously remember past lives, and from past-life and interlife regression, that we are individual souls who reincarnate to experience and grow. A careful analysis of skeptics' arguments in each of these areas of research proves in most cases just how reductionist, and in fact illogical, they are. Nevertheless not all the evidence put forward by believers stands up, and careful discrimination is required. Such a balanced and in-depth critique of both sides of the argument is rare if not unique. Equally unique is the accompanying collation and comparison of the interlife regression research of a number of pioneering psychologists. But what of the idea that 'we are all One', which is the universal message of all transcendental experiences? Can it be squared with the idea of the individual, reincarnating soul, or is this merely an 'illusion' in itself? Perhaps the answer lies in a theory of total elegance and simplicity... that of 'the Holographic Soul'.
