7 LECCIONES CON EJERCICIOS PARA DETENER EL PARLOTEO MENTAL Y EMPEZAR A VIVIR EN EL AHORA (LIBRO DE EJERCICIOS PARA…
PRINCIPIANTES) ESTAS PÁGINAS CONTIENEN siete lecciones con ejercicios básicos que puedes utilizar AHORA para ralentizar y detener el parloteo mental y empezar a experimentar “el Ahora”; una práctica que puede proporcionarte paz interior y alegría A PARTIR DE HOY. Presenta los principios, conceptos y métodos básicos de las enseñanzas espirituales de Eckhart Tolle, el Dalai Lama, Krishnamurti y el Maestro Eckhart, entre otros muchos, basados en la premisas de que “En esencia hay y ha habido siempre sólo una enseñanza espiritual, aunque viene en muchas formas”. Se trata realmente de un libro de ejercicios para principiantes recomendado para quienes buscan la Verdad, desean escapar de la ilusión y experimentar la alegría de la paz interior que solo trae Vivir en “El Ahora”. Las siete lecciones espirituales con ejercicios que encontrarás en este libro están basadas en las antiguas premisas: *El sufrimiento humano y la infelicidad son producto de nuestra “mente parlante”, la cual produce continuamente un diálogo o parloteo interno que nos impide experimentar el Ahora. *Existe una manera de reducir y detener ese parloteo mental. Cuando aprendas cómo hacerlo podrás reducirlo y detenerlo según lo necesites (sobre todo cuando realmente necesites detener la ansiedad y el sufrimiento auto-infligido). *No podrás detener por completo los pensamientos ni tampoco se trata de eso. Incluso los seres iluminados necesitan vivir e interactuar en sociedad, como todos los seres humanos. *Al reducir el parloteo mental, conseguirás que los pensamientos pierdan poder. Los reconocerás simplemente como “ilusiones”, es decir, como productos de un fenómeno psicológico común entre los humanos y supuestamente conocido en la India desde tiempos prehistóricos: el fenómeno de la ilusiónL’empio cammino di un avventuriero riluttante
Par Dr Rosie Kuhn. 2023
Neanche in un milione di anni avrei sognato una vita simile per me. Da bambina immaginavo solo di sposarmi il…
prima possibile, avere dei figli e vivere per sempre felice e contenta. Fine della storia. Qualcuno, non so chi, deve avermi lanciato una maledizione, quella che dice: "Che tu possa avere una vita interessante". Per quale altro motivo una brava ragazza cattolica dovrebbe finire per avere una vita come questa? Cosa avrebbe spinto la figlia di un medico del Midwest a fare il tipo di scelte che ho fatto io? Scegliere una vita come madre non affidataria di bambini, attraversare l'Oceano Atlantico su una goletta di ventotto metri, acquisire tre lauree magistrali e un dottorato e scrivere un libro sull'autoimprenditorialità... Cosa è successo al mio sogno di essere una mamma felice che gioca con i suoi figli? Sono abbastanza sicura che sia stata una maledizione. Raramente siamo in grado di comprendere lo svolgersi della nostra storia finché non cogliamo l'opportunità di guardarci indietro e di esserne testimoni.Laïcité et humanisme (Philosophica)
Par Charles Le Blanc. 2015
Laïcité et humanisme : un titre et deux mots de grande actualité tant au Québec qu’ailleurs dans le monde. Cet ouvrage, avec…
des contributions d’acteurs clés qui alimentent le débat sur le sens et la définition de la laïcité dans le Québec du xxie siècle, arrive à point nommé. Les textes de Thomas De Koninck, Jacques Dufresne, Georges Leroux, Guillaume Rousseau, Mathieu Bock-Côté, Normand Baillargeon, Mohamed Lotfi et Charles Le Blanc ne défendent pas une thèse particulière à propos de la laïcité. Ils forment plutôt un ensemble de réflexions polyphoniques qui se présentent comme une contribution philosophique, juridique, politique et sociologique à la question de la neutralité religieuse de l’État. À la fin du recueil figure un texte de Voltaire sur la tolérance, qui vient à la fois inscrire les questions abordées dans une perspective historique et illustrer le caractère continu d’un débat dont cet ouvrage se veut l’un des nombreux échos.Tous les chemins mènent à Rome: Arts de vivre et de réussir à la cour pontificale au XVIe siècle
Par Pierre Hurtubise. 2009
Cet ouvrage propose une incursion dans le monde de la cour pontificale et des cours cardinalices au XVIe siècle. En…
quoi consistait ce monde, qui en faisait partie, comment y entrait-on, quels avantages pouvait-on espérer en tirer et pourquoi était-on à ce point attiré par lui? Autant de questions auxquelles l'ouvrage cherche à répondre à partir de nombreux documents d'époque, documents souvent peu connus ou peu exploités : des rôles de cour, des livres de comptes, des registres de salaires, des cérémonials, des correspondances inédites et des traités qui leur sont contemporains. Ces multiples regards sur un monde encore mal connu, sur les personnages, grands et petits, qui en font partie, y trouvant pour la plupart profit et intérêt pour eux-mêmes et leur famille, permettent de comprendre pourquoi la cour pontificale faisait l'admiration, puis surtout l'envie de tant de contemporains qui étaient prêts à tout pour y accéder.Sonorous Desert: What Deep Listening Taught Early Christian Monks—and What It Can Teach Us
Par Kim Haines-Eitzen. 2022
Enduring lessons from the desert soundscapes that shaped the Christian monastic traditionFor the hermits and communal monks of antiquity, the…
desert was a place to flee the cacophony of ordinary life in order to hear and contemplate the voice of God. But these monks discovered something surprising in their harsh desert surroundings: far from empty and silent, the desert is richly reverberant. Sonorous Desert shares the stories and sayings of these ancient spiritual seekers, tracing how the ambient sounds of wind, thunder, water, and animals shaped the emergence and development of early Christian monasticism.Kim Haines-Eitzen draws on ancient monastic texts from Egypt, Sinai, and Palestine to explore how noise offered desert monks an opportunity to cultivate inner quietude, and shows how the desert quests of ancient monastics offer profound lessons for us about what it means to search for silence. Drawing on her own experiences making field recordings in the deserts of North America and Israel, she reveals how mountains, canyons, caves, rocky escarpments, and lush oases are deeply resonant places. Haines-Eitzen discusses how the desert is a place of paradoxes, both silent and noisy, pulling us toward contemplative isolation yet giving rise to vibrant collectives of fellow seekers.Accompanied by Haines-Eitzen&’s evocative audio recordings of desert environments, Sonorous Desert reveals how desert sounds taught ancient monks about solitude, silence, and the life of community, and how they can help us understand ourselves if we slow down and listen.Jesus, the Light of the World: Christmas Devotional

Par Jonathan Rogers. 2012
&“Many of my ardent admirers would be roundly shocked and disturbed if they realized that everything I believe is thoroughly…
moral, thoroughly Catholic, and that it is these beliefs that give my work its chief characteristics.&”—Flannery O&’ConnorFlannery O&’Connor&’s work has been described as &“profane, blasphemous, and outrageous.&” Her stories are peopled by a sordid caravan of murderers and thieves, prostitutes and bigots whose lives are punctuated by horror and sudden violence. But perhaps the most shocking thing about Flannery O&’Connor&’s fiction is the fact that it is shaped by a thoroughly Christian vision. If the world she depicts is dark and terrifying, it is also the place where grace makes itself known. Her world—our world—is the stage whereon the divine comedy plays out; the freakishness and violence in O&’Connor&’s stories, so often mistaken for a kind of misanthropy or even nihilism, turn out to be a call to mercy.In this biography, Jonathan Rogers gets at the heart of O&’Connor&’s work. He follows the roots of her fervent Catholicism and traces the outlines of a life marked by illness and suffering, but ultimately defined by an irrepressible joy and even hilarity. In her stories, and in her life story, Flannery O&’Connor extends a hand in the dark, warning and reassuring us of the terrible speed of mercy.Revere life, and give yours away for the sake of serving others.As a young man, Albert Schweitzer seemed destined for…
greatness. His immense talent and fortitude propelled him to a place as one of Europe’s most renowned philosophers, theologians, and musicians in the early twentieth century. Yet Schweitzer shocked his contemporaries by forsaking worldly success and embarking on an epic journey into the wilds of French Equatorial Africa, vowing to serve as a lifelong physician to “the least of these” in a mysterious land rife with famine, sickness, and superstition.Enduring hardship, conflict, and personal struggles, he and his beloved wife, Hélène, became French prisoners of war during WWI, and Hélène later battled persistent illnesses. Ken Gire’s page-turning, novelesque narrative sheds new light on Schweitzer’s faith-in-action ethic and his commitment to honor God by celebrating the sacredness of all life.The legacy of this 1952 Nobel Prize honoree endures in the thriving African hospital community that began in a humble chicken coop, in the millions who have drawn inspiration from his example, and in the challenge that emanates from his life story into our day. Albert Schweitzer seemed destined for greatness—and he achieved it by making his life his greatest sermon to a world in desperate need of hope and healing.The View from Goose Ridge: Watching Nature, Seeing Life

Par Owen Strachan. 2013
How do you access a real, thriving, vibrant faith? You trust a big God, and you start living like he’s…
real. It’s time to put our comfort and ease and false security on the line. If we know God is real, let’s pray as if he’s actually listening. If we know he’s good, let’s reflect that goodness in the world. When our problems feel big, let’s lean on the One who is bigger. Is that risky? “Sure,” says Owen Strachan. “Embrace it anyway. It’s literally the only way to live.”Fyodor Dostoevsky (Christian Encounters)
Par Peter J. Leithart. 2011
In his twenties, Fydor Dostoevsky, son of a Moscow doctor, graduate of a military academy, and rising star of Russian…
literature, found himself standing in front of a firing squad, accused of subversive activities against the Russian Tsar. Then the drums rolled, signaling that instead he was to be exiled to the living death of Siberia. Siberia was so cold the mercury froze in the thermometer. In prison, Dostoevsky was surrounded by murderers, thieves, parricides, and brigands who drank heavily, quarreled incessantly, and fought with horrible brutality. However, while "prisoners were piled on top of each other in the barracks, and the floor was matted with an inch of filth," Dostoevsky learned a great deal about the human condition that was to impact his writing as nothing had before. To absorb Dostoevsky's remarkable life in these pages is to encounter a man who not only examined the quest of God, the problem of evil, and the suffering of innocents in his writing but also drew inspiration from his own deep Christian faith in giving voice to the common people of his nation... and ultimately the world.Galileo (Christian Encounters)
Par Mitch Stokes. 2011
We learn about life through the lives of others. Their experiences, their trials, their adventures become our schools, our chapels, our…
playgrounds. Christian Encounters, a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of the Church through prose as accessible and concise as it is personal and engaging. Some are familiar faces. Others are unexpected guests. Whether the person is Galileo, William F. Buckley, John Bunyan, or Isaac Newton, we are now living in the world that they created and understand both it and ourselves better in the light of their lives. Their relationships, struggles, prayers, and desires uniquely illuminate our shared experience.HERO OR HERETIC? GENIUS OR BLASPHEMER?It's no mystery how profound a role Galileo played in the Scientific Revolution. Less explored is the Italian innovator's sincere, guiding faith in God. In this exhaustively researched biography that reads like a page-turning novel, Mitch Stokes draws on his expertise in philosophy, logic, math, and science to attune modern ears with Galileo's controversial genius.Emerging from the same Florentine milieu that produced Dante, da Vinci, Machiavelli, Michelangelo, Amerigo Vespuci, Galileo questioned with a persistence that spurred his world toward an unabating era of discovery. Stokes confronts the myth that Galileo's stance on heliocentricity stood astride a church vs. science divide and explores his calculations for the dimensions of Dante's hell, his understanding of motion, and his invention of the pendulum clock.To read this volume is to journey through Galileo's remarkable life: from his inquisitive childhood to his dying days, when, although blind and decrepit, he soldiered on, dictating mathematical thoughts and mentoring young proteges.The Loving Kitchen is a collection of comforting recipes straight from the kitchen of popular food blogger LeAnn Rice.You know the…

They want…
to serve Christ but find that they fail again and again in their attempts to get victory over sin, overcome the flesh, die to the self, and love others. Most have no definite idea of how these goals are to be achieved. This should not be the case because the Bible gives us a clear road map to spiritual and psychological maturity; it is accomplished revelation by revelation as we grow in our knowledge of God. It is not enough to have the knowledge of God in our minds or even to love Him with our emotions-faith must grow in our spirit. Only through this kind of faith is it possible to overcome our selfishness, develop the self-discipline necessary to conquer sin, and achieve a life of peace motivated by unconditional love. This book clearly and concretely explains each step in this process, identifies the spiritual revelations required, and provides methods and models for assisting us in moving to the next step. The goal of this book is to remove the mystery that shrouds the process of spiritual and psychological growth so that the path to spiritual maturity can be clearly seen and followed.Migrating Texts and Traditions (Actexpress Ser.)
Par William Sweet. 2012
There can be little dispute that culture influences philosophy: we see this in the way that classical Greek culture influenced…
Greek philosophy, that Christianity influenced mediaeval western philosophy, that French culture influenced a range of philosophies in France from Cartesianism to post-modernism, and so on. Yet many philosophical texts and traditions have also been introduced into very different cultures and philosophical traditions than their cultures of origin – through war and colonialization, but also through religion and art, and through commercial relations and globalization. And this raises questions such as: What is it to do French philosophy in Africa, or Analytic philosophy in India, or Buddhist philosophy in North America? This volume examines the phenomenon of the ‘migration’ of philosophical texts and traditions into other cultures, identifies places where it may have succeeded, but also where it has not, and discusses what is presupposed in introducing a text or a tradition into another intellectual culture.Canada's Religions: An Historical Introduction (Religion and Beliefs Series #No. 12)
Par Robert Choquette. 2003
With nine out of ten Canadians claiming a religious affiliation of some kind - Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist,…
Aboriginal, or one of dozens of other religions - faith has huge impact on our personal and social lives. In this book, Robert Choquette offers a comprehensive history of religion in Canada and examines the ongoing tug-of-war between modernity and conservatism within the religious traditions themselves.Religion and Schooling in Canada: The Long Road to Separation of Church and State (Education)

la Constitution. Le gouvernement fédéral a essentiellement confié sa responsabilité de l’éducation pour les peuples autochtones aux églises pour plus d’un siècle. Résultat : une histoire de mauvais traitements seulement mise au jour récemment.Des années 1950 aux années 1970, plusieurs mesures dans diverses provinces ont posé les jalons pour d’importantes réformes en éducation. Certaines testaient les limites des protections confessionnelles, mais ne pouvaient éliminer les structures constitutionnelles sous-jacentes.Le rapatriement de la Constitution et l’adoption de la Charte des droits et libertés en 1982 ont codifié des changements fondamentaux dans la perception des droits civils. La Charte permettait des remises en question des droits confessionnaux sur plusieurs fronts, mais elles ont toutes été refusées par les tribunaux au motif que la Charte ne peut servir à déroger à d’autres parties de la Constitution.Dans les années 1990, le mode de révision se présente comme une autre voie vers la réforme. On a recouru à des modifications constitutionnelles pour mettre fin au contrôle confessionnel des écoles à Terre-Neuve et au Québec en 1997 et en 1998.Les circonstances entourant ces modifications constitutionnelles sont scrutées comme précédents possibles pour obtenir des résultats semblables en Alberta, en Ontario et en Saskatchewan. Cet ouvrage soutient que des changements y sont inévitables et présente plusieurs voies vers la réforme. Cette réforme vise à éliminer la discrimination inhérente dans les établissements confessionnels tout en préservant une participation religieuse dans certaines écoles.WJEC/Eduqas A Level Religious Studies Key Thinkers: Philosophy
