The third edition of Eternal Humans and the Finite Gods is a comprehensive book that brings the reader into journeys within oneself and beyond. It introduces a mother and daughter who genuinely desire truth, and they first utilized religion to find it. What should have been a path of awakening had taken them down a rabbit hole of diminished choice, knowledge, and freedom. This culminated in Talea's mother being used as a tool to spread the "truth" via prophecies she received, and Talea was being groomed toward a similar path. It took great effort and insight to climb out of that hole and stop the manipulation, which Talea shows in her realizations step-by-step. Popular books derived from otherworldly sources rarely if ever critique the gods or angelic guides of those messages. If criticism is found, people often turn to another religion ruled by similar entities. Talea's book is unique in that she not only analyzes her mother's prophecies, the Bible's, and various other sources, but she also brings us outside of mainstream spiritual beliefs to a more complete picture. Figuring out who was spiritually directing Talea and her mother and the reason why were pivotal steps to gaining back themselves. They have learned how to separate truths from lies, which religions and New Age spiritualities are notorious in combining. Research into the roots of Judeo-Christianity shows notable evidence in Egypt, Sumer, Anatolia (pre-Turkey), and Greece. Talea uncovers historical and sometimes otherworldly identities of Judaism's patriarchs and Christianity's demigods, and she uses archaeological and cultural evidence as support. The transition from Judaism to Christianity was feasible because their mainly similar factions interweave almost seamlessly--along with purposeful division--due to a greater agenda. Theories about an Apocalypse and a New Earth are key topics for our current time, and real-world politics play a prevalent role toward a one world order "under God." Talea argues that science and religion share multiple similarities, especially in relation to scientific ideas hindered by fractals and quantum mechanics. Is there really a realm based upon eternal life without death and reincarnation? She says "Yes," showing how she came to that conclusion with investigation into theories about other dimensions and universes. This third and final edition goes where few books have ventured--revealing rational explanations for abstract concepts such as a higher self, transfiguration and ascension, "pole shifts," and the expansion of the cosmos contrary to the religiosity and unrealism perceived in the New Age community. Talea seeks knowledge toward the very beginning of existence; she invites the reader to stretch one's mind and see how our physical reality emerged from a much larger system whose foundation is neither chaos nor a God. Finally, Talea expounds upon key aspects of one's wonderfully multifaceted self, which includes layers of energy "matter" that we can individually experience. With the extraordinary knowledge presented in this book, we can arguably gain more security and sense of self to empower us more than any prevalent religion or spirituality can. We have more abilities and choices than what we have been led to believe, and we can choose our own paths in life, including the afterlife, which this book also explores.

This ground-breaking book was written for people who want profound love and truth. It addresses every important topic in this tumultuous time surrounding the religious and New Age hype of 2012 and Armageddon up to the hope of ascension. Theresa Talea bravely exposes the realms of the gods and angels because she grew up the daughter of a prophet, receiving numerous prophecies until she gradually realized something off about the messages. Her quest for the truth, no matter how difficult the path, uncovered the many layers of not only herself but also the cosmos and beyond. She presents significant history of the Earth and Milky Way galaxy, showing our position and options toward a proactive and hopeful future. Talea believes knowledge is power, and the insightful knowledge she provides will connect the dots that her predecessors misrepresented or left unanswered. She does not use the word truth lightly-this book's bold assertions are based in reality. It is up to the reader to choose to accept reality while learning to gain true love and strength, or to lose oneself to the sleeper state of religious and spiritual programming.

God’s world is full of good things. Ice-cold lemonade. The laughter of children. College football. Scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. A late night with old friends around a blazing campfire. God certainly knows how to give good gifts to his children. But where is the line when it comes to enjoying all the pleasurable things our world affords? In The Things of Earth, professor Joe Rigney offers perplexed Christians a breath of fresh air by lifting the burden of false standards and impossible expectations related to the Christian life—freeing readers to gratefully embrace every good thing we receive from the hand of God. Helping us avoid our tendency to forget the Giver on the one hand and neglect his gifts on the other, this much-needed book reminds us that God’s blessings should drive us to worship and that a passion for God’s glory can be as wide as the world itself.

The human fascination with images, and the idolatry or idolization of images as the source of desire, passion and terror, is treated in this book. The first part enters more deeply into religious idolatry, past and present. It treats the biblical, the early-Jewish as well as the Christian views on monotheism and the prohibition against images, as source of authentic humanism or as source of intolerance and violence. In the second part, the focus shifts onto a number of contemporary, profane idols and gods: the nationalist fascination for one's own land and people, and the fear or hate towards foreigners; the rampant preoccupation with (genetic) health, in a context of body culture and aestheticization, of which the postmodern sport idols have become the great 'icons'; the current image- and screen-culture and all forms of audiovisual exorcisms; and last but not least the ongoing process of economization and globalization, with an expanding culture of 'branding' logos.

Meister Eckhart might have liked it. Indeed, many-one thinking is the idea that there is the one ultimate origin, coherence, spirit of it all . . . but not without a multitude and diversity emerging within, which is the evolving universe with planets like Earth, with its biosphere and humankind, with you and me living in it. The Many-One is thought of as the whole of the cosmos complementing and entangled with all its parts, as beings inside Being and Being inside beings, as the Creator and "his" co-creating creatures. The both-one-and-many idea takes a strong stance against any ultimate either-or-reduction, against isms of all sorts. Being unity and plurality and duality all at once, the Many-One is neither monistic nor pluralistic nor dualistic in any way. Inside this broad frame, it is open for many specific approaches, not least those represented in this volume, which are cosmic holism, cultural-spiritual-evolution thought, Higher-We, integral thinking, the Metaphysics of Adjacency, panentheism, process theology, and transpersonal-participatory thinking. However, the many-one idea also chimes in with approaches not sampled here, like Roy Bhaskar's Critical Realism, Edgar Morin's Complex Thought, or metamodernism.
