Showing titles in Agnosticism

The Agnostic Mind invites the listener into a journey through uncertainty—not as weakness, but as a source of strength. Moving across the landscapes of philosophy, science, and daily life, it explores what it means to live without final answers yet without surrendering to despair.

Before you learned to speak, you were taught to obey. Before you could wonder, you were handed answers. God Is the Prison is a bold and poetic exploration of how religion is installed into the human psyche-not as choice, but as inheritance. Zakir Hossain joins a long tradition of radical truth-tellers-from Nietzsche, who declared God dead, to Marx, who named religion the opiate of the masses. But where others argued through reason, Hossain writes with fire and rhythm. This is not a dry critique. It's a lyrical jailbreak.

Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus is the founding stone of Western esotericism. Hermes is regarded as being the author of numerous philosophical and spiritual texts, including the Divine Pymander. Even though the historical existence of Hermes is not clear, he has been regarded as the master of wisdom and the initiator of the divine knowledge for centuries. The Divine Pymander is one of the ancient texts attributed to Hermes. The Divine Pymander explains a cosmology and philosophy which blends Egyptian, Greek, and Jewish mystical traditions.

One of the greatest thinkers on the origins of Christianity and a renowned expert on Gnostic and Hermetic literature presents, in this snug volume first published in 1907, the lost teachings of Jesus. Not found in the canonical Gospels and, indeed, frequently dismissed as blasphemous or heretical or "reworked" by later editors to comply with perceived tradition, this beautiful hymn is not just of interest to Christian mystics but to anyone who values wise words well spoken. For those interested in mysticism, Gnosticism, and esoteric traditions.

Regarding your life and your brief existence on Earth, is that all there is? If you have ever felt that there is more here than an exclusively physical reality, you may be surprised to discover that scientific data from astronomy, quantum physics, biology, neuropsychology and cosmology actually confirms your intuition. With unusual clarity and humor, Dr. Shawn Adair Johnston reveals the utter failure of current science, based on an exclusively physical model of the universe, to account for the origin of the cosmos, human DNA, consciousness, free will or criminal behavior.

Extraordinary Popular Delusions of Our Times is a modern sequel to Charles Mackay's 1841 literary classic "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds." Mackay wrote about the tulip bulb mania and the poor sailor who mistook a priceless bulb for an onion and ate it for breakfast. He wrote about alchemy, which was practiced with all seriousness by great thinkers of the time like Thomas Aquinas and Roger Bacon.

What happens when we die? Life begins with an orgasm, can this be topped at the end? The greatest moment of the author's life was watching his mother-in-law die. At this moment, observing her in a state of ecstasy, he came to understand death maybe is not the end. This began his years of work as a hospice volunteer and a student of the sometimes supernatural dying process.

This is the Search for Meaning and Purpose, a journey into the uncharted territories of the human spirit, where every step holds the potential to rewrite the script of existence. So fasten your seatbelts, adjust your existential compass, and prepare to be transported…to the Celestial Zone.

No, it’s not that God is tired or wants to give up trying to save all the ungrateful and disobedient masses in the world. It’s just that God’s intention, from the beginning, was to occupy a much more intimate place in our personal lives than that of a “god” that we worship and fear. What God always wanted to be will blow your mind and fill your life with new excitement. And, what about Jesus? He is an important part of this story.

This interpretation of the 12 Steps offers a simple, practical, and highly effective method of working through the steps. I invite you to take this transcendent journey towards contented sobriety. There is no need to become concerned about using God as a higher power. All that is required is an agnostic-friendly sponsor. I offer a whole chapter about healthy sponsorship boundaries in AA. Despite being an agnostic, the twelve steps enabled me to begin having healthier relationships as a recovering alcoholic.

With detectable influences of David Budbill, Robinson Jeffers, Mary Oliver or Taoist poets like Tu Fu, Rich’s words carry themselves lightly with humor, and he delights in the musical possibilities inherent in language.

Drew Avery guides you to a “basecamp” of sensible, logical, rational faith. A place where you—the agnostic, the “none,” the “spiritual”—can leave vagueness behind. A place where you may find new purpose and the needed strength to live a better life and to help make a better world.
