Beschreibung
A Book for Seekers of Spiritual Truth.
If knowledge is power, then self-knowledge is perhaps even more so. Clarifying your beliefs will help you gain that self-knowledge.
In Pondering the Mystery of Life, you'll explore both ancient and modern worldviews of some of humanity's deepest thinkers. You'll delve into eternal questions like "Is there a God?" and "Why am I here?" Dr. Shields, a retired professor of English literature, explains what believers and nonbelievers truly think about these big questions and the real meaning of "spirituality." She recognizes various perspectives as understandable and commitment as desirable, but warns against certitude.
Here is some of what you will discover:
- The one gift that science and religion actually share
- The habits and practices of spiritual leaders (both religious and nonreligious)
- Philosophies from Stoicism to Secular Humanism
- Why reasoning alone will not arrive at metaphysical truth
- What atheists really believe - and how believers account for their faith in a monotheistic God
- What 'empathy blocks' are (and solutions for them)
- How an endorphin-producing gene could be associated with spiritual-mystical experience
- Whether a person can be hardwired for religion
- What the 'spiritual but not religious' alternative is
- The one thing that can damage our sense of right and wrong
- The seven universal moral rules that have been discovered (no matter where you live)
- Whether the fields of science and religion could ever unite
While the mystery of the universe may be eternal, thinking people will continue to search for meaning and try to live accordingly. Are you ready for the challenge?
