Religiousness: Instructions for Use (Existence - Consciousness - Bliss)

I had no expectations in reading this book; I opened the cover and simply abandoned my past theories and beliefs. This book is a refreshing take on faith, pure and simple. The lesson here is to remain open-minded and leave behind the boundaries represented in established churches and religions. This book marries intelligence with belief and drills it down to the most simple form - a belief in something larger than life.The writer offers a refreshing view of faith that challenges today's world, where we often define our lives by what we have, whom we know, and what we feel is missing in life. I find it easier to believe in a greater power after reading this, believe in possibilities, and turn away from the negative.You do not have to have a religion to have faith. Ivan Antic, has so eloquently proven this in Religiousness: Instructions for Use Existence - Consciousness.

This book on religiosity is a real revelation. It breaks all the patterns of traditional commentary on the subject, and will probably upset many spirits.But I don’t see how they can respond to this challenge because the author, in his representation of religiosity, constantly invokes the foundation of consciousness and existence. It is unlikely that anyone will be able to criticize this book without misunderstanding the concepts of awareness and critical thinking.Simply put, the author interprets correct religiosity exclusively as the consciousness that is the foundation of life and the cosmos.

The author gave a great critique of religious practices and beliefs, very well-argued.He also took the reader on a real adventure through the deepest mysticism - but filled with great optimism and positive energy. He speaks of the divine consciousness that is in all of us and this attitude is the basis of the whole book.Each chapter is filled with new insights and surprising information. It’s hard to stop reading! It’s even harder to finish it because, in my own experience, it leaves the reader in a different state than they were in before.

Finally, something new and original about religion! Very bold and well-argued. There is a great range of topics, and the author travels from the strongest realism to the highest mysticism.Every question related to religiosity is treated realistically and originally. I couldn’t find this kind of information about prayer and temples, divine love and death anywhere else, in any other literature I’ve ever read.The explanation for the existence of evil in the world is so original that it struck me as brilliant. At least it seems that way to me, because it brings together many unrelated aspects, to make a sense of the whole. I am very grateful to the author for this.

This book is for everyone, it is respectful, logical, and motivational. Buy this book it has the ability to speak to anyone from anywhere at anytime. Extremely Valuable. Add to your library asap.

The deepest book on religiosity that I have read, and it is not based on theology - it doesn’t even mention it, except in a critical context.The author occasionally touches on theological questions and it can be seen that he knows them well, but he doesn’t engage in theological discussions. Instead he gives insight from his life and shared experiences that can be known by anyone.The book is full of life wisdom. Each chapter deals with a key issue of religiosity, and is full of instructive advice and wise suggestions for practice. Practical advice is the greatest value of this book.At the very beginning, the author notes that religiosity has never been about abstract theological problems, but what we specifically do with ourselves and the world around us, how we work, what kind of culture and civilization we build. Read it.

Thank God for this book! Finally, someone has spoken about religiosity separate from God, and focuses instead on people and their deeds.The main tenet of the book is similar to the Zen saying that one should not look at the finger pointing at the Moon, but at the Moon itself; the description is not what is described. In their religiosity, people have always dealt with the description, the idea of God, and not the real purpose of religiosity - what and who we are as human beings.Yes, there have been other attempts to write about this, but as far as I know, no one has described the problems as clearly as Ivan Antic.The time in which this book appeared is also very interesting. Now, more than ever, we need the awareness that is revealed in detail and practically advised in this book.

This book brilliantly balances the sociology of religion, fundamental existentialist philosophy, esoteric tradition and mysticism, personal insight, and the modern world. It connects all of these aspects into a single whole. It is written in a vocabulary based on experience rather than theory. I highly recommend it.
