  Great World Religions: Hinduism, Hörbuch, Digital, 365min

  In this 12-lecture series, you'll encounter a religion that is perhaps the most diverse of all; one that worships more gods and goddesses than any other, and one that rejects the notion that there is only one path to the divine. These lectures provide a window into the roots of, perhaps, all religions. You'll explore over the course of Hinduism's 5,000-year journey: the Indus Valley civilization; the sizable variety of Hindu gods and goddess; the sacred writings in the Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, and Upanishads; Hindu ritual purity rites; the Aryan language of Sanskrit, whose roots can be seen in English words such as "divine," "video," and "ignite"; and much more. The story of Hinduism, you'll come to see, is the story of very non-Western traditions (such as arranged marriages and the caste system) that have survived and thrived for thousands of years. It's also home to a wealth of gods, terms, and practices (such as karma, Krishna, yoga, and guru) that have found a home in Western lives and language. Along the way, Dr. Muesse discusses salient aspects of Hindu life and places them in historical and theological context. He also explains that Hinduism honors all seekers of truth, that it contains multiple paths to divine reality (the way of action, the way of wisdom, and the way of devotion), and that it can be both a monotheistic and a polytheistic faith. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Language: English. Narrator: Mark W. Muesse.

  Reimagining God and Religion: Essays for the Psychologically Minded , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 491min

  With the necessary demise and death of antique cosmologies and traditional religious paradigms dependent on external deities and devils, the modern religious challenge involves two simultaneous sacred endeavors: to eulogize, bury, and grieve the theistic and monotheistic god-images and the religions dependent on them; and, secondly, to bring fresh imagination to the meanings of god and religion, which will satisfy both the modern mind and ancient soul.Drawing on the insights of Jungian or analytical psychology, Dr. Wright offers depth psychological analysis of our contemporary religious and political dilemmas, as well as invites readers to be midwives for the emerging religious myth that many believe to be on our collective horizon - a myth that will be more inclusive, intellectually and scientifically honest, and soul satisfying.The invitation is made urgent by his psychological conclusion: As long as our deities and devils are perceived to be beyond the physical domain and outside the human psyche, our species will continue to do great harm to each other and to our global nest.Combining personal testament and psychological commentary, the author explores heretofore taboo topics and reframes many traditional theological and Christological dogmas, making them more relevant to religious and non-religious alike.Jerry R. Wright, D.Min is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Flat Rock, North Carolina, and a training analyst with the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts.  An experienced conference and retreat leader, he has led pilgrimages to sacred sites in Iona, Scotland, Ireland, Peru, and India. Reimagining God and Religion continues his primary interest in bringing the insights of Jungian or analytical psychology to experiences deemed religious or spiritual. ungekürzt.

  The History of the Crusades, Hörbuch, Digital, 293min

  Twelve brilliant lectures by celebrated Church historian and author Christopher Bellitto Few events have affected the course of civilization as profoundly as the Crusades, a centuries-long period of violent conflict and competition between Islam and Christianity. The Crusades brought destruction and violence to the third monotheistic faith of Judaism as well. Resurfacing frequently in present-day political conversations about clashes between faiths and cultures, the troubling legacy of the Crusades is undeniable.  Join award-winning professor Christopher Bellitto in an exploration of this period of conflict. As you examine the five major crusading movements from multiple perspectives, you'll gain a deeper knowledge of what the Holy Land means to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. You'll come to better understand the concepts of "just war" and jihad that dominated during the Middle Ages. Along the way you'll learn about crusade arts, letters and architecture; military orders like the Templars and Hospitallers; the notion of crusading in popular history throughout the centuries; and the state of Christian-Muslim relations today.Simply put, to understand the Crusades is to gain profound insight into the historical course of Civilization - Western and Eastern - and into the profound contradictions of religious war and human nature itself. You'll be in good hands with Prof. Bellitto, who is known for his ability to bring clarity to complex historical and religious events. Don't miss the opportunity to learn with him today.This course is part of the Learn25 collection and comes with a free PDF study guide.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

  Wicca: A Guide to Wiccan Beliefs, Rituals, Moon Energy, Herbalism, Magic and How to Use Candle, Crystal, Spells to Start Practicing Witchcraft , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 609min

  This audiobook includes:Wicca for BeginnersWicca Herbal MagicWicca Moon MagicThe Wicca is the fastest growing religious, especially among women. It is estimated that there are almost five million practitioners all over the world.But what exactly is the Wicca? What is hidden behind the nebula of paganism, feminism, New Age and ecology in which this extraordinary spiritual practice is usually forced? Why do women, in particular, find the right answers to their thirst for knowledge and commitment there? The members of the Wicca say they want to restore the cult of fertility, dating back even to the Neolithic.The Wicca is defined as the "religion of nature" or "old religion", and its principles are based on the cult of nature and the cycles that belong to it.The veneration of the faithful of the Wicca is addressed to what is part of the being of every man (what is immanent), metaphysical philosophical concept to be sought in every element of the world. The divine is revealed in the universe in infinite forms, sometimes feminine, identified with the Goddess, sometimes masculine, traceable to God: two fundamental principles that complement each other, in perfect symmetrical harmony.In this regard, an element of great "innovation" of this religion is the return to the veneration of a female divinity, an aspect abandoned for centuries, not only by the great monotheistic religions.According to this religion, one cannot believe in anything that is outside the natural (defined as supernatural), but only in one's own personal ethics, one's own desires, one's own abilities. The divine is in every human being, it is enough only to be able to see it, know it and understand it.All this requires a certain assiduity in the rituals, important from the moment of initiation to their daily practice.A lot of books deal with “WICCA” in a superficial manner, they don’t ungekürzt.

  The Enneads Volume 2 (4-6) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1267min

  Plotinus (204/5 -270CE), born in Lycopolis, Egypt, when it was part of the Roman Empire, was a major figure in the philosophical school later called Neoplatonism. Neoplatonists viewed reality as deriving from a single force or figure expressed as 'the One'. Two further concepts from Plotinus, 'the Intellect' and 'the Soul', are also principal features of his philosophy. These proposals led to the work of Plotinus forming a bridge between Plato and the monotheistic religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam as well as Gnosticism. Yet Plotinus, who spoke Greek, did not actually leave a written legacy of his ideas. His work was written down and compiled by a pupil, Porphyry of Tyre (c234-c305 CE). Porphyry presented Plotinus' work in six Enneads, each containing nine Tractates (ennea = nine in Greek), amounting to 54 treatises in all. They were originally arranged into three volumes, but in this Ukemi recording they are divided into two equal parts, Volume One and Volume Two. Volume One contains the first three Enneads prefaced by the fascinating biography written by Porphyry, who describes Plotinus as a highly singular figure - he declined to sit for a painter or sculptor, he wouldn't eat meat from animals reared for the table, and he 'caught philosophy at the age of 20'. This recording is Volume Two, which contains The Enneads 4-6. The Fourth Ennead concerns epistemological matters, opening with 'On the Essence of the Soul' (First Tractate) and concludes with 'Are All Souls One?' The Fifth Ennead is concerned with intellectual matters, opening with 'On the Three Primary Hypostases' and concluding with 'On Intellect, the Forms and Being'. The Sixth Ennead concerns being in general and the One above intellect, opens with 'On the Kinds of Being' and concludes with 'On the Good and the One'. Translated by Stephen MacKenna. ungekürzt.

The First Tractate of the First Ennead opens with 'The Animate and the Man'; subjects of other tractates include 'On Virtue', 'On True Happiness', and 'On the Primal Good and Secondary Forms of Good'. The Second Ennead opens with 'On the Cosmos or the Heavenly System' and continues with 'The Heavenly Circuit' and 'Are the Stars Causes?' The Third Ennead opens with 'Fate' and continues with two essays: 'On Providence' and then 'Our Tutelary Spirit'.
