Multireligious Reflections on Friendship: Becoming Ourselves in Community presents a multi-religious discussion of spiritual and ethical formation through friendship. Contributors discuss the positive effects of friendship and some of the culturally diverse ways that friendships develop. Friends help us co-exist in diverse societies, live sustainably in our ecosystems, heal from trauma, develop inner virtues, engage wisely in social action, and connect with the divine. While friendship is a core human value, cultural traditions have used different tools to build friendships. For example, Indigenous communities emphasize reciprocity on the land; Jewish traditions encourage respect for study partners; Buddhist teachers suggest discernment in befriending; Christian texts speak of bringing God’s love into community. The fifteen scholars contributing to this book draw on the teachings of six different global traditions: Indigenous, Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Islamic, and Christian. Each scholar applies the tools of their tradition—reciprocity, respect, discernment, love, and more—to discuss how we might become our best selves in community.

This is not a work on physics, nor is it a tract on personality, but rather an effort to link them together in order to examine the cognitive relationship of humans with their surroundings. We explore the interaction between the human mind and energy-matter; the adoption of quantum mechanics allows us to bridge the distinction between physics and psychology. We invoke here the principles of quantum mechanics, symbols, and great myths - from Tantalus, Sisyphus, and Prometheus, through the Kabbalah and the Gnostic religions, to great historical figures in art and literature. Our personality theory, first expounded in The Myth of Tantalus (1979), is expanded here into truly interdisciplinary research, examining the relationship of humans with God and the universe. We claim that myths reflect the human mind more profoundly than any other means available: they serve as a bridge to unknown parts of the human psyche and history, and form the basis for human behavior for centuries. We therefore use a method we call myth-empiricism. It is, indeed, amazing to see the connection between the structure of the human mind and that of energy-matter, as it is reflected in the mytho-empirical context.

The Hebrew Bible is filled with animals. Snakes and ravens share meals with people; donkeys and sheep work alongside us; eagles and lions inspire us; locusts warn us. How should we read their stories? What can they teach us about ecology, spirituality, and ethics? Author Laura Duhan-Kaplan explores these questions, weaving together biology, Kabbalah, rabbinic midrash, Indigenous wisdom, modern literary methods, and personal experiences. She re-imagines Jacob’s sheep as family, Balaam’s donkey as a spiritual director, Eve’s snake as a misguided helper. Finally, Rabbi Laura invites metaphorical eagles, locusts, and mother bears to help us see anew, confront human violence, and raise children who live peacefully on the land.

Essay by Donald Kuspit The first monograph by famed actor and director Leonard Nimoy, this eerily beautiful photographic study of the female form reveals Nimoy's intrigue with Old Testament mythology and ancient spirituality. The Shekhina, described by the Kabbala as God's feminine counterpart, is understood by mystics to be a crucial element of both divine and human spirit, symbolising the creativity and wisdom without which no being is complete. Here, Nimoy uses 50 duotone photos as an exhaustive investigation of his own spirituality.
