Yoga Cosmic Love Breath Experience @ 30-Day Cosmic Love Experience
Sep 12 @ 8:00 pm – 8:45 pm
Yoga Cosmic Love Breath Experience @ 30-Day Cosmic Love Experience

Yoga is described as a Union of Mind, Body, Spirit..Yoga Cosmic Breath brings in the Heart.
This Ancient practice is part energy tool/part meditation/ part pranayama. It is a link to Higher Love and Higher Consciousness.

Each night is a new experience, however the foundation follows this sequence
Rhythmic Breathing, Reiki, Neck and Shoulder Stretches, Closing with the main event the Yoga Cosmic ‘Love’ Breath

Humanity has done the work to raise the vibration enough to be able to be emass as a container and anchor of this energy to the new earth.

This practice was offered first for the month of Sept in 2009 and now again in 2018
To serve others as a way to the higher heart resonance, which elevates us into different dimensions and Cosmic Consciousness.

Research has shown that the magnetic field of the heart is 5,000 times more powerful than the mind.

The way to living in the higher dimensions is through the heart portal which leads to unconditional love and a greater connection to the Divine, to yourself, to others and to nature.

The Cosmos ARE are here to help humanity.
It’s about a being in alignment with a cosmic heart connection of a different heartbeat, a heartbeat attuned to Cosmic Love through activations and being in rhythm with the Universe.

WE are stronger together is true!

How do you make an impact when you are working alone? Sloooowly.
Let us quicken as One.

It is a simple solution, we have done the heavy lifting, now we are in the labor pains and a smart mother- to-Be will learn how to breathe to ease the pain.
It only makes sense to do this as well, while we are in this process of birthing a new earth, does it not?
Our work now only requires us to BREATHE in a new way, and connect to our hearts.
This is about something greater than ourselves!
To Be, Midwives for the New Earth whether you are a woman or a man.

You will discover the more of us that do the inner work consistently, of raising our vibration and releasing density, we will be pulled towards the 5th World.
This is not a might be, this is a pathway.
I’m here to be a wayshower and a bridge.
This will fill the body with cosmic energy, assisting you to hold more light and love and to be the anchor And container.

Blessings,
Margarit

Navigating Diverse World Views– A Four-Week Online Course with Dr. Jeffery D. Long @ online
Oct 16 – Nov 6 all-day

Presented by Embodied Philosophy

A community of yogis, scholars, writers & teachers

committed to #embodiedphilosophy for a modern age

through writings, programs & educational experiences

**************************************************************************

A Four-Week Online Course with Dr. Jeffery D. Long

Religious Pluralism

Navigating Diverse World Views

October 16th – November 6th, 2018

COURSE SUMMARY

How does one respond to the great variety of views and ways of life that present themselves to us in the contemporary world?  Why does religious diversity provoke anxiety in so many people?  Is it necessary for us all to agree in order to avoid violent conflict?  In this course, we will explore various responses that have been given by philosophers and theologians in both Western and Indic traditions in response to the diversity of worldviews.  We will focus primarily on various versions of a position called religious pluralism, a view which sees the
diversity of worldviews as a good thing, from which humanity can learn and grow.
Your instructor, Dr. Jeffery Long, Professor of Religion and Asian Studies at Elizabethtown College, has spent much of his career reflecting on these issues and working to develop an open-ended philosophy of religious pluralism that draws on elements of several traditions, including Vedanta, Jainism, Buddhism, and the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead.

 

About Your Teacher

Dr. Jeffery D. Long is Professor of Religion and Asian Studies at Elizabethtown College, where he has taught since receiving his PhD in the Philosophy of Religions from the Divinity School at the University of Chicago Divinity in the year 2000.  His doctoral dissertation, Plurality and Relativity: Whitehead, Jainism, and the Reconstruction of Religious Pluralism forms the basis for his subsequent work in seeking to advance the idea of religious pluralism.  In addition to this work, he has authored three books and more than fifty scholarly articles.  He also edits the Lexington Books series Explorations in Indic Traditions: Ethical, Philosophical, and Theological.  He is currently working on several projects, including textbooks on Indian Philosophy and Hinduism in America, as well as a monograph on Swami Vivekananda titled Arise! Awake! Swami Vivekananda Speaks to the Twenty-first Century.  In 2018, he received a Dharma Seva Award from the Hindu American Foundation for his advocacy for more accurate representation of Hinduism in children’s school textbooks.

COURSE OUTLINE

MODULE #1: A Question and Many Answers: Responses to the Diversity of Worldviews

This module will set up the question that our course is dedicated to answering: How ought one to respond to the diversity of worldviews?  This question could also be phrased as: What should we think about the fact that there are many religions and philosophies?  We will explore various kinds of response that have been suggested by philosophers and theologians of many traditions.  These will include agnosticism, atheism, exclusivism, inclusivism, and pluralism.  Each position will be shown to have strengths and disadvantages.

MODULE #2: Pluralism: The Indian Conversation

In this module, we will examine traditional responses to the diversity of worldviews in the Indian philosophical tradition.  Vedic, Vedantic, Buddhist, and Jain responses to this issue will be covered as well as responses from the modern period, with a major focus on the teachings of Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda.

MODULE #3: Pluralism: The Western Conversation

In this module, we will examine the development of religious pluralism in the West, first in secular philosophies, and then among Christian theologians.  A major focus will be the progression from exclusivism to inclusivism to pluralism in contemporary Christian thought.

MODULE #4: Drawing the Indian and Western Conversations Together

In our final session, having examined various criticisms of pluralism that have emerged in Western philosophy and theology, we will explore an approach to this issue that draws together elements of both Indian and Western thought in an attempt to build upon the strengths of both and respond to the criticisms to which earlier models of pluralism have been subject.

October 16th – November 6th 2018

4 TUESDAY EVENINGS, 7PM EST
October 16, 23, 30 and November 6

Join Dr. Jeffery D. Long as he explores the open-ended philosophy of religious pluralism that draws on elements of several traditions, including Vedanta, Jainism, Buddhism, and the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead.

Students Who Take This Course Will Learn:

  • The perspectives of major texts and thinkers from the Indian tradition which address the issue of pluralism, from the Rig Veda, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Lotus Sutra, to the ideas of Nagarjuna, Haribhadra, Yashovijaya, Ramakrishna, Vivekananda, and Gandhi.
  • The perspectives of the major thinkers involved in the debate over religious pluralism, in the West, including Karl Barth, Karl Rahner, John Hick, Wilfred Cantwell Smith, Paul Knitter, Paul J. Griffiths, Mark Heim, Raimon Panikkar, and Alfred North Whitehead.
  • Important philosophical terms and concepts for engaging with religious and other forms of worldview diversity, including ontology, epistemology, soteriology, and hermeneutics.
  • The perspectives of recent thinkers seeking to draw together the currents of Indian and Western thought to address issues of religious pluralism, including Ayon Maharaj, Andrew Schwartz, and your instructor, Jeffery Long.
