Beschreibung

"Sacred Music Traditions" explores the profound role of music in religious ceremonies across cultures, highlighting its ability to elevate the human spirit and foster connections to the divine. Sacred music serves as a universal language of spirituality, uniting people beyond cultural and linguistic barriers. The book examines the history, practice, and significance of music within various religious contexts, revealing how sound creates communal bonds and expresses beliefs.

The book journeys from the origins of sacred music in ancient civilizations to modern-day practices. Beginning with Gregorian chant and its impact on Western music, it then explores Sufi traditions and the ecstatic devotional music of Qawwali. It investigates the rhythmic complexities and the role of the lead singer in inducing spiritual ecstasy, then moves to other traditions like gospel and temple music. The book provides valuable insights into how music shapes religious experience and fosters community while maintaining a respectful and objective approach.

The book is structured to first explore the historical development of sacred music, tracing its evolution from ancient rituals to modern practices. It then examines the function of music as a vehicle for spiritual elevation, considering how specific musical elements contribute to states of devotion, contemplation, and transcendence. It culminates by considering the future of sacred music in a rapidly changing world and its potential to foster interfaith dialogue and understanding.

Living without Psychology - A...

Shareef Mokdad

Career, love, security, family, country, social cause, reform, revolution, ideology, entertainment, self-reinvention, pursuit of the unknown. Have you ever noticed how these things shape the years and decades not only of our own lives but of humanity, right through old age, regardless of demographic, cultural, and professional differences? Have you ever noticed how all of us - the living, the ancestors and posterity - tread the exact same path across time, from generation to generation, century to century, without ever getting past that one common denominator: our own self-interest? And, what kind of society have we built around our self-interests? Not only are we not profoundly better people but we have also destroyed each other and the world.  
Long with me, dear friend, to go beyond our self-centered psychological needs, including righteous ones as self-awareness and self-actualization, and to tap into what undoubtedly is the calling of our time: co-operation. At this critical juncture in human history, let us find out what it takes to bring about a level of co-operation unknown to humanity - in allfields including relationship, academia, diet, and environmental change - without which the world stands no chance. 
This is not a spiritual self-help book but an invitation to free oneself from psychology, in all its traditional and modern forms, so that a new world is built right in the heart of our highly destructive society.

Hidden

Evangelist Nathan Morris

The devil is not after you; he is after your destiny. When God sent a deliverer to bring Israel out of Egypt, the enemy didn’t know who the deliverer would be, so he attacked all the Israelite baby boys. But God was a step ahead of the devil! Not only did He hide Moses, but He hid him right in the house of the very man who was trying to kill him! In this message, Evangelist Nathan teaches that your walk with God will involve many times when God will hide you from the enemy because you’re not yet ready to step into the fulness of your purpose. But when God reveals your life, nothing can stop you!
