Showing results for "Freedom of Religion" in Philosophy

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

In Proposed Roads to Freedom, Bertrand Russell, the eminent British philosopher and Nobel laureate, delves into the political ideologies of the early 20th century. Written in 1918, this insightful work critiques three major currents within the political left Marxian socialism, anarchism, and syndicalism. Russell, a pivotal figure in analytic philosophy who challenged the status quo of idealism, offers a thought-provoking analysis that remains relevant today. Join us as we explore his reflections on freedom and the pathways to achieving it. (Summary by Wikipedia/Carl Manchester)

Deep down, most people think that happiness comes from having or doing something. Here, in Alan Watts’s groundbreaking third book (originally published in 1940), he offers a more challenging thesis: authentic happiness comes from embracing life as a whole in all its contradictions and paradoxes, an attitude that Watts calls the “way of acceptance.” Drawing on Eastern philosophy, Western mysticism, and analytic psychology, Watts demonstrates that happiness comes from accepting both the outer world around us and the inner world inside us,

Chögyam Trungpa’s classic examination of what it means to be free and how perceptions, attitudes, and patterns can bind even the most dedicated practitioners—reissued for its 50th anniversary. In these collected lectures, Trungpa Rinpoche explores the true meaning of freedom, showing listeners how preconceptions, attitudes, and even spiritual practices can become chains that bind them to repetitive patterns of frustration and despair. Here, Trungpa Rinpoche directly addresses the process of dissolving the barriers people often create and place between themselves and the rest of the world.

Written in clear, accessible language, this book seeks to free listeners from their suffering by drawing attention to the direct experience of self as abiding, loving, boundless awareness. Using practical exercises and meditations, the author guides listeners through a process of spiritual awakening, deconstructing self-delusions and integrating a new concept of existence that is free from the suffering of individual selfhood, but which acknowledges the attachments, traumatic experiences, and emotional pain of being human.

It is estimated that more than 20 million Americans have practiced some form of yoga, yet almost none of them have heard of yoga's early teachers or their insights. While we are familiar with yoga's physical benefits, the original purpose of yoga as a path to inner freedom and enlightenment is embodied by only a few students in the West. Now yoga scholar Georg Feuerstein immerses you in The Lost Teachings of Yoga, the first comprehensive audio curriculum about yoga's original spiritual wisdom and practices.

In this enlightening exploration, we delve into the essence of religion as the foundational purpose of our existence and the key to our happiness. Religion, defined as the profound connection between ourselves and our Creator, requires a deep understanding of both Gods nature and our own. Central to this understanding are the two vital faculties of our being the Understanding and the Will. While both are crucial, the study of the Will holds particular significance, as it is where virtue and religious practice truly reside. This podcast addresses the pivotal question of the Freedom of the Will,...

From one of the leading historians of Christianity comes this sweeping reassessment of religious freedom, from the church fathers to John Locke. In the ancient world, Christian apologists wrote in defense of their right to practice their faith in the cities of the Roman Empire. They argued that religious faith is an inward disposition of the mind and heart and cannot be coerced by external force, laying a foundation on which later generations would build.

Seen as godless by the religious and weak by the atheists, secularism mostly has been misunderstood. In How to Be Secular, Berlinerblau argues for a return to America’s hard-won secular tradition; the best way to protect religious diversity and freedom lies in keeping an eye on the encroachment of each into the other. Berlinerblau passionately defends the virtues of secularism, reminds us what it is and what it can protect, and urges us to mobilize around its cause, which is for all Americans to continue to enjoy freedom for - and from - religion.

In this enlightening presentation, the nature of true freedom is discussed and revealed. You will learn about the one place where you can realize freedom, and also, how you can transcend the experience of not being free. In addition, insights into the fallacy of the "great and wonderful me" are explored. And what human limitation that jeopardizes one’s spiritual evolution are most people willing to die for? This is something every spiritual student needs to know!

How do I observe greed? Do I observe it as an outsider looking in, or do I observe it without the observer? Without the mind being free, you cannot live in order.

We live in a world where strongman politics are rising, neo-liberalism has hollowed out political parties and corporations have undermined democracy. Ordinary voters feel helpless to effect change, resulting in outbreaks of populist anger, and traditional platforms for debate are losing their viability as readers source information online. In this short and vital polemic, progressive thinker and activist Billy Bragg argues that accountability is the antidote to authoritarianism and that without it, we can never truly be free.

This provocative audiobook addresses one of the most enduring puzzles in political philosophy and constitutional theory - why is religion singled out for preferential treatment in both law and public discourse? Why, for example, can a religious soup kitchen get an exemption from zoning laws in order to expand its facilities to better serve the needy, while a secular soup kitchen with the same goal cannot?

I'm exploring why Generation X failed to get free, and how the concept of "authenticity" was turned into a sort of un-freedom. https://www.martinessig.com/

We toy with darkness, unknowingly. The Freedom, Together Podcast excavates the invisible threads of mischief in the ways we, in our very humanity, harm one another and ourselves seemingly indirectly. As we explore the deepest vulnerabilities of the human condition, may we find our way back to each other in the Fruits of Jesus Christ's Holy Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control; against such things, there is no law (Galatians 5:22). Because Freedom is best experienced, Together.

Does learning require thinking, or only awareness? To be aware is to be conscious, to be in relationship with what you observe outwardly and also our inward reactions. Awareness reveals that I have a conclusion from which I act, which prevents the free flow of energy. You see that you have many opinions and conclusions. You don't know why you have them or how to be free of them. Start with not knowing.
