Book Description
"I have personally adopted many of the practices Rupert describes in his book and experienced more love, joy, empathy, gratitude, and equanimity as a result. We are all indebted to Rupert, who has tirelessly brought us deep insights from both science and spirituality.” ―Deepak Chopra The effects of spiritual practices are now being investigated scientifically as never before, and many studies have shown that religious and spiritual practices generally make people happier and healthier. In this pioneering book, Rupert Sheldrake shows how science helps validate seven practices on which many religions are built, and which are part of our common human heritage: meditation, gratitude, connecting with nature, relating to plants, rituals, singing and chanting, and pilgrimage and holy places. Sheldrake summarizes the latest scientific research on what happens when we take part in these practices, and suggests ways that readers can explore these fields for themselves. For those who are religious, Science and Spiritual Practices will illuminate the evolutionary origins of their own traditions and give a new appreciation of their power. For the nonreligious, this book will show how the core practices of spirituality are accessible to all. This is a book for anyone who suspects that in the drive toward radical secularism, something valuable has been left behind. Rupert Sheldrake compellingly argues that by opening ourselves to the spiritual dimension, we may find the strength to live more fulfilling lives.

Book Description
This book is an insightful guide to the diverse ways that religious faith is practiced and spirituality is understood. Discussing contemporary issues such as post-modernism and the emergence of a "new paradigm," the new realities of geopolitics, globalization and global warming, this book explores the importance of religion in people's lives to provide direction in the society today. This book demonstrates the common quest among the world religions for a deeper and more profound spirituality. Describing the spiritual pathways of the various world religions, it assesses the ways that the beliefs, values and practices of these traditions can be life-giving, leading to personal and social responsibility and transformation, but also sometimes harmful and divisive, even used for dangerous purposes. Promoting constructive engagements between the world's religions, this book will connect social justice and ethical engagements with core religious practices and spiritualities. This is an ideal introductory text for students of world religions, spirituality and interfaith relations, broadening their understanding of these lived faiths.

Book Description
The present piece is an epiphany to understanding the supernatural factors that influence the lives of men on earth. It's a treaty on the spiritual world and the spiritual actors that compose it in their various organizations and hierarchical structures. The general objective is to open the curtains, remove the scales from human eyes, and give a detailed understanding of how spiritual forces dictate the lives of men on earth. The man of God, apostle Onório Cutane, unveils mysteries of a dimension that has always been present with humans, but many have never come to understand. It's a dimension above the physical realm, the fourth dimension, called the spiritual dimension. In it, angelic actors belonging to two antagonistic realms interact with their agendas - some for and others against the life of human beings on earth. Furthermore, it aims to awaken our understanding that not everything we see with our physical eyes is all that exists in our world. We live parallel with beings from other dimensions and layers - the angelic beings of good and/or evil. In this revealing and fascinating piece, the reader will learn about the spiritual actors of good: from God to His angels, their chain of command, and operating structure. Furthermore, you will learn about the devil and his angels (principalities, powers, princes of darkness, spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places, and about demons), from their hierarchical structure, their operations on earth, and how to stop their activities and influence for the sake of God's will and the welfare of men. This book will make you realize that there is permanent parallelism and a cause-and-effect relationship between the projections of the actors of the spirit world and the activities and events that are laconically considered normal by humanity. Moreover, the reader will realize that the course of this world is dictated from this dimension: the spiritual world. Finally, this work will make you see beyond the physical world and equip you with tools that will give you mastery over the dark forces at work on earth from the fourth dimension.

Book Description
Excerpt from The World a Spiritual System: An Outline of Metaphysics Metaphysics has been defined as "that, of which those who listen understand nothing, and which he who speaks does not himself understand"; and a metaphysician has been declared to be a "blind man looking on a dark night for a black cat that isn't there!" These extreme statements probably represent the view many persons entertain of this field of thought. It appears to them to be a region of cloud and smoke, conflict and confusion, where men are blindly groping about and "ignorant armies clash by night." They hear the distant din and occasionally see its dust, but are uncertain as to what it is all about, or whether it has any real meaning. This chaos, however, is more apparent than real, and it requires but slight acquaintance with metaphysics to see that it is a world of order and has an object in view; in fact, so far from being confusion worse confounded, metaphysics is distinctly an effort to escape intellectual confusion and reach a clear and consistent view of the world.
