The Lost Spiritual World (The Scholars Version)

0.0

The Lost Spiritual World takes you on an unforgettable journey—a journey of learning to smile in the face of adversity, of healing and refreshing your spirituality, and of finding joy in the magnificent mystery that is you. It explores the emergence of a new global spirituality that mixes the best of each wisdom tradition with the latest findings in psychology, quantum physics, neuroscience, and linguistics. The wavy shape and wavy designs challenge orthodox (which means "straight thinking" in Greek) kinds of spirituality. They remind us that the journey of life is full of new discoveries, expanding perspectives, and magnificent twists and turns; it is anything but a "straight and narrow" path. The book's twelve metallic inks invite readers to explore the ecstasy of our connection to the cosmic stardust of which we are all made. Few issues of our day are more urgent than engaging people of different faiths in a constructive interfaith dialogue. The Lost Spiritual World series takes you deep into the sacred texts of each tradition and reveals the critically important (and often overlooked) roots of religious pluralism. The Lost Spiritual World is an illuminated volume of the Bible for the 21st century seeker who wants to experience the awe and mystery of God, but who is lost and confused and distracted, uncertain of how to tune into the Divine in a wired world.The author and designer has spent her entire 14-year career teaching in inner city public schools. She currently teaches at a public middle school in the South Bronx and has become an experienced mediator of interfaith and intercultural conflicts. Her gentle, non-polemical prose brings a fresh and important perspective to what many in our culture arecalling "the clash of civilizations."
