Spiritual Transformation

Spiritual Awakening Through Near Death Experiences

It is inevitable that survivors of near-death experiences always tell tales of out-of-body experiences. This phenomenal experience always leaves them with a sense of spiritual awakening. Why does the out-of-body experience always result in spiritually transforming the recipient? Can the out-of-body experience actually help us achieve enlightenment?

Many people would observe that spiritual enlightenment is linked with saints, yogis, and lamas. When an ordinary individual experiences spiritual awakening, it can be both enthralling as well as terrifying. Some people deliberately journey to enlightenment through meditation, yoga, etc. There are others who experience spiritual awakening just before they die.

Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross a writer who wrote ‘On Death and Dying’ and other books on near death experiences, said, “And after your death, when most of you for the first time realize what life here is all about, you will begin to see that your life here is almost nothing but the sum total of every choice you have made during every moment of your life. Your thoughts, which you are responsible for, are as real as your deeds. You will begin to realize that every word and every deed affects your life and has also touched thousands of lives.”

Some of the effects of near death experiences are:

Viewing doctors and nurses working on you; passing through a tunnel toward a light; gaining knowledge; seeing departed friends and family; eventually returning to your body, etc. The survivor can feel a sense of being at inner peace. The spirit parts from the body and meets with other entities that have passed away like family, friends, etc. One of the common features of near-death experience is for the survivor to feel unwilling on going back to the world of the living.

Below are some of the psychological changes people go through after near death experiences:

1. The soul- many survivors begin to believe in reincarnation, regardless of their previous beliefs. This sudden belief in reincarnation may be because since they have experienced the soul separating from the body, they come to understand that the body is nothing but a casket for the soul or spirit.

2. Unconditional love – many survivors become loving and generous people.

3. Psychic – many survivors, when they return to the world of the living, gain extra-sensory perception.

The above psychological changes people go through after a near-death experience can be counted as spiritual awakening because they are transformed into a new person.

Life with God: Reading the Bible for Spiritual Transformation $24.95 “> Too often, our study of the Bible focuses on searching for specific information or some formula that will solve our pressing needs of the moment. But what if we approached the Bible differently, and instead of transforming the text to meet our needs, allowed it to transform “us”? > That’s exactly the idea behind “Life with God,” Richard J. Foster’s much-anticipated book on the Bible. Foster, bestselling author of “Celebration of Discipline” and general editor of “The Renovare Spiritual Formation Bible,” claims that God has superintended the writing of Scripture so that it serves as the most reliable guide for Christian spiritual formation. According to Foster, the Bible is all about human life “with God.” As we read Scripture, we should consider how exactly God is “with us” in each story and allow ourselves to be spiritually transformed. By opening our whole selves–mind, body, spirit, thoughts, behavior, and will–to the page before us, we begin to grasp all the Bible has to teach about prayer, obedience, compassion, virtue, and grace and apply it to our everyday lives to achieve a deeper relationship with God. > With a wealth of examples and simple yet crucial insights, “Life with God” is an indispensable guide to approaching the Bible through the lens of Christian spiritual formation, revealing that reading the Bible for interior transformation is a far different endeavor than reading the Bible for historical knowledge, literary appreciation, or religious instruction.”

On The Threshold Of Transformation $6.29 For men, pain is very real.So is the power to transform it.In one of the opening meditations of this book, male spirituality expert Richard Rohr writes, "We need to fail, to fall, to jump into the central mystery of our own existence, or we’ll have no way of finding our true path." Those words serve as the starting point for a potentially transformative experience, one in which men come to grips with the fact that some form of suffering or letting go is essential to achieving wholeness, holiness, and happiness.With nearly every man dealing with some form of hurt in his life, On the Threshold of Transformation acknowledges the pain and deals with it directly and redemptively. While much of our culture today would have us believe that failure and suffering are inherently bad, Fr. Rohr helps men see that pain in whatever form it takes is a primary doorway through which they can pass to reach their authentic, best selves, which is where they will truly encounter God.Ultimately, this book of 366 daily meditations helps men learn how to transform their pain so they don’t pass it on. WithFr. Rohr as their guide, the path to male spiritual transformation can be found and followed.

Singing The Way: Insights Into Poetry & Spiritual Transformation $9.79 Singing the Way explores the relationship between poetry and true contemplation. Author Patrick Laude seeks first to disperse romantic notions of how the poetic process works but goes on to suggest that it is inherently more profound than modern practitioners imagine. Laude tells us that in itself true poetry is "transformative" since it brings the soul and all its faculties under the catalytic "spell" of the sacred through the mediation of rhythm and the "lure" of imaginal and verbal beauty. Singing the Way illustrates its points through examples drawn from five rich spiritual and poetic traditions (viz. Hinduism Sufism China Japan and the European Neo-Platonic and Romantic current).Singing the Way explores the relationship between poetry and true contemplation.
