Autism and Spirituality
Author: Olga Bogdashina
Publisher: Jessica Kingsley Publishers
ISBN: 085700591X
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Olga Bogdashina argues persuasively that, contrary to popular belief, spirituality plays a vital role in the lives of many people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Drawing on interdisciplinary research from fields as diverse as psychology, philosophy, anthropology, linguistics, neuroscience and religion, as well as first-hand experiences of people on the spectrum, she shows how people with ASD experience their inner worlds and sense of self, and how this shapes the spiritual dimension of their lives and vice versa. She presents a coherent framework for understanding the routes of spiritual development and 'spiritual giftedness' within this group, offering insights that will inform understanding of how to support and nurture spiritual wellbeing in people with ASDs. This book gives a voice to both verbal and non-verbal individuals on the autism spectrum whose spiritual experiences, though often unconventional, are meaningful and profound. It is essential reading for all those interested in the spiritual wellbeing of this group, including pastoral carers and counsellors, ministers of religion, spiritual leaders, parents and carers and individuals on the autism spectrum.

The Spirit Awakens
Author: Robert Bigelow
Publisher: Robert Bigelow
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
This is my father's first hand account of a Near-Death like event while in a Ft. Lauderdale condo on the night of October 13, 1994. A spiritual tunnel opened up... The figures of twelve spiritual beings appeared. Suspended in midair, looking straight at me, they radiated Divine energy that transformed my state of mind into unconditional love. Inside I cried with relief because every human desire was fulfilled and every thought of separation from The Divine left me. I was whole and eternal. I had returned home... “Who’s talking to you?” his girlfriend Martha, a PHD, asked. The first being said “I am Knowledge.” I nicknamed him Knowles– Page 24 The 5 hour out-of-body experience started with being shown his own human spirit as an oval array of millions of light fibers. They transformed him into this spirit and pulled him up out of his body to the edge of a huge chasm. He looked back at his body on the couch and was pulled through the death process to the other side where he was greeted by other human beings in spirit form. Elevating his frequency, he was transcended into a higher dimension. Upon returning to the couch, the last wave ripped through his soul. They showed him that the human consciousness contained a veil, like a holographic fortress, blocking his experience of the Divine. “When you understand all I have shown you, you will be who you truly are. This is your task, and when completed, each of the others, in their time will come to you. This is your preparation for what is to come.” – Knowles The Divine realm closed, leaving the excruciating pain of loss and the struggle to return and achieve the task. Watching my father continue to go through more experiences inspired me to take on the same battle to overcome the limited human consciousness and find the Divine experience for myself. Thank you dad for being such a wonderful father, a spiritual teacher and now for bringing the message of “Divine Presence Rising - A Research Project” to all mankind. Christopher Bigelow

For Small Creatures Such as We
Author: Sasha Sagan
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 073521879X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
"A charming book, ringing with the joy of existence." --Richard Dawkins The perfect gift for a loved one or for yourself, For Small Creatures Such as We is part memoir, part guidebook, and part social history, a luminous celebration of Earth's marvels that require no faith in order to be believed. Sasha Sagan was raised by secular parents, the astronomer Carl Sagan and the writer and producer Ann Druyan. They taught her that the natural world and vast cosmos are full of profound beauty, and that science reveals truths more wondrous than any myth or fable. When Sagan herself became a mother, she began her own hunt for the natural phenomena behind our most treasured occasions--from births to deaths, holidays to weddings, anniversaries, and more--growing these roots into a new set of rituals for her young daughter that honor the joy and significance of each experience without relying on a religious framework. As Sagan shares these rituals, For Small Creatures Such as We becomes a moving tribute to a father, a newborn daughter, a marriage, and the natural world--a celebration of life itself, and the power of our families and beliefs to bring us together.
