{"product_id":"elijah-the-bodhisattva-an-interspiritual-exploration-9781803412771","title":"Elijah the Bodhisattva: An Interspiritual","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an interspiritual commentary -- largely though not exclusively Buddhist-inspired -- on the life of Elijah as recounted in the Bible. It treats the externals of his life as metaphors for internal mind-states, his story as a labyrinth-like journey toward enlightenment, an unfolding realization of the non-duality of himself and God. Elijah begins with a henotheistic conception of God as a national deity connected to the land of Israel and progresses to a realization of God as the ground of being, being-itself, the God of those who struggle with God, which is the deeper meaning of the name Israel. While the inner dimension is emphasized, there is also a focus on the political dimension of the story, which liberation theologians call God’s preferential option for the poor, and here it is called the politics of anatta -- the core Buddhist principle of not-self.","brand":"Collective Ink","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49412930961751,"sku":"9781803412771","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781803412771.jpg?v=1730518583","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/elijah-the-bodhisattva-an-interspiritual-exploration-9781803412771","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
