Title: The Gnostic Mystery

Subtitle: A Connection Between Ancient and Modern Mysticism

Author: Andrea Diem-Lane

Narrator: Jim D. Johnston

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-29-16

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Thought

Publisher's Summary:

Comparative studies often reveal similarities between greatly different cultures, even if those cultures are geographically separated by thousands of miles or historically distinct by thousands of years. This has been especially true in religion where similar ideas have been propounded by tribes or clans that have on the surface no contact historically or geographically with one another. For the phenomenologist, this kind of transcultural link or synchronicity is important because it raises the question of how religious ideas emerge and develop over time.

Are religious ideas part of an innate, biological, developmental sequence that manifest over the course of human evolution? Or are religious ideas simply the product of historical transfusion, played over the course in time where one tribe touches another tribe thereby transforming concepts in a very material and socially determinable way?

Although this thesis does not answer those profound questions, it does provide a remarkable example of religious synchronicity, where two diverse spiritual traditions, Gnostic and Sant, posit very similar ideas about salvation and the nature of God. In this thesis, I demonstrate how Gnostic and Sant Mat ideas concerning ontology, cosmology, and soteriology are remarkably close, despite the fact that the Gnostic tradition arose in the Middle East in the first and second century C.E. and that Sant Mat emerged in North India in the 14th and 15th century. My main sources are the Nag Hammadi Library for the Gnostic tradition and the writings of Tulsi Sahib and Shiv Dayal Singh for the Sant tradition.

Title: Persistent Assumption

Author: Neville Goddard

Narrator: Russell Stamets

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-15-16

Publisher: Lgt Digital

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 17 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Thought

Publisher's Summary:

I tell you a truth: There is nothing greater than your own wonderful human imagination! It is he who inspired Blake, Shakespeare, and Einstein, for there is only one spirit in the universe! "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One." That one spirit is the human imagination! When Blake was asked what he thought of the divinity of Christ he answered: "Christ is the only God, but so am I and so are you." Don't think of Christ as someone greater than yourself. He is the only God, but so am I and so are you! Don't consider yourself less than Christ, for there is only God, who is your own wonderful human imagination.

Daring to assume that all things are possible to imagine, put this one reality to the extreme test by assuming you are the person you would like to be. Your reasonable mind and outer senses may deny it; but I promise you: if you will persist, you will receive your assumption. Believe me, you are the same God who created and sustains the universe, but are keyed low; so you must be persistent if you would bring about a change.

Ayahuasca

As I prepare for my first experience with Ayahuasca, concerns and doubts naturally arise by the lack of detailed neutral information. This book has given me peace of mind, something that is essential for this coming journey.

accurate info

This is a very good and accurate representation. Highly recommend it for those curious or wanting clarification.

However the narrator mispronounces many words and if this intended to be accurate and helpful it would help to have acceptable pronunciations.

Waste of credit

I didn't even bother to finish this audiobook, boring, uber repetitive with not real experiences, the intro took forever with the disclosures, just move on something less technical and more realistic. The voice is also monotone and not exciting at all. 1 star is too much. You're welcome.

Short but Informative

A short review over all ayahuasca myths and real facts. Recommended for beginners and curious people.

Profound!

Loved the serious, yet heartfelt and loving offering in this book! Details on what to do and what not to do if one is going to have this experience was really great. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to expand their horizons about the substances.

Visions of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory

What did you love best about Voices, Visions & Apparitions: Heaven Hell Purgatory?

This book is a compilation of historical accounts of visions of heaven, hell and purgatory. It is good for folks studying these issues or for those interested in accounts of the after life. The Purgatory section is the longest.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

This is a non-fiction work so the ending is a little different. The last section is about how the saints were known in history by their visions of the after life.

What does Locust & Honey Publications bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

The narrator does a great job. I couldn't do dishes and clean out my closets while listening to the book if I read the print version.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Many of the visions are moving. The description at the beginning of the book and how to evaluate a vision and how it should make you feel was quite good.

Any additional comments?

Great book for those interested in the after life or Catholic history.

Title: A Sense of the Cosmos

Subtitle: Scientific Knowledge and Spiritual Truth

Author: Jacob Needleman

Narrator: Andrew Mulcare

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 57 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-24-16

Publisher: Wetware Media

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Thought

Publisher's Summary:

Western science has operated for centuries on the assumption that we can understand the universe without understanding ourselves. We are just now seeking to make the necessary connection between the general laws of nature and those of our own (inner) nature. But the job won't be done with "massive injections of the new consciousness"; we cannot democratize the sacred by cheapening its demands.

"My aim in this book, therefore", says Needleman, "has not been to speak of the convergence of science and spirituality but of their separation. As in nature itself, organic unity is a reciprocal relationship between separate but interdependent entities. In human life as well, there can be no real unity except through the awareness of real divisions. One may then hope to experience the magic power of sustained awareness by itself to bring the harmony that we have until now fruitlessly attempted to impose on ourselves and on our endangered civilization."

Jacob Needleman is a professor of philosophy at San Francisco State University and the author of many books, including Money and the Meaning of Life and The American Soul. In addition to his teaching and writing, he serves as a consultant in the fields of psychology, education, medical ethics, philanthropy, and business and has been featured on Bill Moyers' acclaimed PBS series A World of Ideas.

Critic Reviews:

"With this one compact statement, Jacob Needleman has forced the discussion of both science and religion in our time into a new, more mature and discriminating phase.... It is a way station where those who are seriously exploring the transformation of consciousness will have to stop, take thought, and perhaps re-plot their course." (Theodore Roszak)

"I want to strongly recommend it to every reader seriously interested in our present cultural situation." (Fritjof Capra)

"Needleman is unique; he is really on to something.... A fine book." (Harvey Cox)

Members Reviews:

Recommended by a discriminating reader.

My brother asked me to buy it for him, so it must be good.

What Science Needs to Be Spiritual

Love Needed for Science of Spirituality

I've always equated Edgar Cayce with the scientific approach. That link may seem odd to folks who think of science as all numbers and stainless steel, but I think of science as a method of questioning. Religion, for example, confidently offers its answers while science is skeptical. In its doubting, science wants to stick its finger into the miracle to actually feel it. Galileo wants to peek into the telescope to see if the sun really does revolve around the earth while the Pope remains seated, content with the Bible's description of heaven. Science as it is practiced today, of course, is more like religion in that science has stopped questioning its assumptions. But I'm speaking about the spirit of science, the force in nature that is continually seeking to expand its consciousness.

So why do I link Edgar Cayce with science? Because so often he requested that we ignore his words unless we have tested his suggestions, tried them out, and made them our own, so that we can speak from our experience rather than from his readings.

Title: Sleep Paralysis: A Guide to Hypnagogic Visions and Visitors of the Night

Author: Ryan Hurd

Narrator: Jennifer Dorr

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-05-16

Publisher: Enlightened Hyena Press

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Thought

Publisher's Summary:

Experienced by millions as supernatural assault, sleep paralysis (SP) often includes realistic and often frightening hallucinations that are projected into the waking world. In Sleep Paralysis: A Guide to Hypnagogic Visions and Visitors of the Night, these night visitations of ghosts, vampires, and even aliens are honored afresh from the perspective of contemporary dream science. Although they can be terrifying, these visions can also be a reliable portal to other extraordinary states, including lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences, and guided journeys to realms beyond our imagination.

Sleep Paralysis was the only print book that discussed sleep paralysis and its related dream visions from a how-to perspective. This audiobook is for those who want to manage their SP or engage more confidently with this ancient lucid-dreaming technique.

Members Reviews:

not what I expected

Scientific and clinical explanations mostly and I have heard all of those before. I do not agree with all that is said due to my personal lifelong experiences. The book is well written and edited, really love the choice of words and flow of the book, very well organized. I really like this author and his writing style, the narrator is great, she was a perfect choice for this book. I'm sure many people will find this book helpful, just not me due to my own familiarity with sleep paralysis...conflicting.

Title: Citing Atheists: Quotes of Agnosticism, Non-Theism, Skepticism, Irreligion, Free Thought, and Philosophy

Author: Steve Dustcircle

Narrator: Josh Ray

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-01-16

Publisher: Steve Dustcircle, Josh Ray

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Thought

Publisher's Summary:

A comprehensive, condensed volume of quotes by atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, skeptics, philosophers, and even the spiritual. Not exhaustive, but a great quick A-to-Z reference of quotes by atheists, freethinkers, and philosophers - almost a greatest hits, if you will. Some quotes are very anti-theist in nature while others lean more political or non-religious. There are even a few appalling quotes by the religious.

Coming from a religious background, the editor put these quotes together based on what helped him leave religion behind. Citing Atheists is a great book to add to any skeptic's library without the heavy cost of a huge, exhaustive volume.

Members Reviews:

Much Food for Thought

It's a book packed with quotes. Other than numerous typos, it's well worth a read. It should, but probably won't, make many Christians and other believers in God think. Many of the quotes will generate a satisfying "Yes" to those of like mind. The writing is, of course, in the words of those quoted; so the literary quality varies; but I found it a hard book to put down.

An incredible collection of atheistic quotes from dozens and dozens of thinkers.

You'll have to take the quotes in small doses because there are so many of them. A great collection.

Title: The Alchemy of Prayer

Subtitle: How It Began and Why It Is the Medium of Miracles

Author: Loretta M. Siani PhD

Narrator: Randal Schaffer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 42 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-15-16

Publisher: Visionary Communications

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Thought

Publisher's Summary:

The Alchemy of Prayer offers a step-by-step spiritual guide that puts the complex metaphysics of prayer taught in A Course in Miracles into everyday terms. If you're skeptical about the power of prayer or have little faith in the traditional Christian approach to prayer, this book is for you.

Its central thesis is that prayer is not an act of communication that begins with us and ends with God, but rather that it is an act of communication that begins with God and ends with us; were it not for this fact, we'd be oblivious to prayer. Indeed, The Alchemy of Prayer proposes that we were actually created out of prayer. The power surge that emanated out of God's first prayer not only sparked us into existence; it forever established our minds as natural channels for receiving and sending his same kind of prayer. This explains why today, eons after creation, we're still wired for prayer. Moreover, it also explains why prayers not modeled after God's primal prayer seemingly go unanswered.

All of this begs the question: how is it that we've forgotten how to pray the way God wired us to pray? How is it that the apple has fallen so far from the tree?

This intellectually engaging book seeks to answer these questions for you and aims to provoke a sea change in your fundamental thinking about the kind of God in which you believe, as well as what true prayer really is.
