The Secrets of Socrates Quotes & Philosophy: Western & Classic Literature on Life, Religion & Spirituality (Buddhism, Religion & Spirituality, … Philosophy, Classics & Zen) (Volume 1)

– The Secrets of Socrates: Philosophy, Happiness & Spirituality. –

How to live a more harmonious life, serene and happy? Recognized as one of the founder of modern Philosophy, Socrates certainly must have understood something about this… But before going further let’s define what philosophy means. Etymology is often the best way to deeply understand the meaning of words. In this context, philosophy literally means “love of wisdom”. It is also the study of the nature of existence, reality and knowledge. The love of wisdom is important for Socrates as often stated in his teachings. Socrates says: “To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.” He is also at the origin of what is called the Socratic method, which is a type of dialogue in which asking and answering questions is the way to stimulate critical thinking which in turn brings deeper understanding… The following quotes will eventually bring you insights and clear comprehension. By doing so, you will become convinced about the truth lying behind these quotes and therefore your own critical thinking and sense of logic will become more accurate. 
“Employ your time in improving yourself by other men’s writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.”

The Great Spiritual Migration: How the World’s Largest Religion Is Seeking a Better Way to Be Christian

The Christian story, from Genesis until now, is fundamentally about people on the move-outgrowing old, broken religious systems and embracing new, more redemptive ways of life. It’s time to move again. Brian McLaren, a leading voice in contemporary religion, argues that-notwithstanding the dire headlines about the demise of faith and drop in church attendance-Christian faith is not dying. Rather, it is embarking on a once-in-an-era spiritual shift. For millions, the journey has already begun. Drawing from his work as global activist, pastor, and public theologian, McLaren challenges listeners to stop worrying, waiting, and indulging in nostalgia, and instead, to embrace the powerful new understandings that are reshaping the church. In The Great Spiritual Migration, he explores three profound shifts that define the change: Spiritually, growing numbers of Christians are moving away from defining themselves by lists of beliefs and toward a way of life defined by love Theologically, believers are increasingly rejecting the image of God as a violent Supreme Being and embracing the image of God as the renewing Spirit at work in our world for the common good Missionally, the faithful are identifying less with organized religion and more with organizing religion-spiritual activists dedicated to healing the planet, building peace, overcoming poverty and injustice, and collaborating with other faiths to ensure a better future for all of us With his trademark brilliance and compassion, McLaren invites listeners to seize the moment and set out on the most significant spiritual pilgrimage of our time: to help Christianity become more Christian.�

Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion

For the millions of Americans who want spirituality without religion, Sam Harris’s new book is a guide to meditation as a rational spiritual practice informed by neuroscience and psychology.

From multiple New York Times bestselling author, neuroscientist, and “new atheist” Sam Harris, Waking Up is for the 30 percent of Americans who follow no religion, but who suspect that Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Rumi, and the other saints and sages of history could not have all been epileptics, schizophrenics, or frauds. Throughout the book, Harris argues that there are important truths to be found in the experiences of such contemplatives—and, therefore, that there is more to understanding reality than science and secular culture generally allow.

Waking Up is part seeker’s memoir and part exploration of the scientific underpinnings of spirituality. No other book marries contemplative wisdom and modern science in this way, and no author other than Sam Harris—a scientist, philosopher, and famous skeptic—could write it.

The Disappearance of the Universe: Straight Talk about Illusions, Past Lives, Religion, Sex, Politics, and the Miracles of Forgiveness

What would you do if you were sitting quietly in your living room when two mysterious strangers appeared from out of nowhere-and then told you they were ‘ascended masters’ who had come to reveal some shocking secrets of existence and teach you the miraculous powers of advanced forgiveness? Would you call the cops? Call a psychiatrist? Call out for pizza? When two such teachers appeared before Gary Renard in 1992, he chose to listen to them (and ask a lot of questions). The result is this startling book: an extraordinary record of 17 mind bending conversations that took place over nearly a decade, reorienting the author’s life and giving the world an uncompromising introduction to a spiritual teaching destined to change human history.
