Description of The Power of Ritual by Casper Ter Kuile ePub

“The Power of Ritual”. is a must-read for anyone who has a complicated relationship with religion. If you’re trying to find ways to connect with the spiritual that feel authentic to your lifestyle, this is where you’ll find them. This book is written by Casper Ter Kuile. The Power of Ritual speaks to a deeper yearning to make meaning of our limited time, demonstrating how simple things can take on rich and generative meaning with intention.

Pulling the meat of rituals and traditions away from sometimes outdated or otherwise uncomfortable containers give us all the capability and reason to add them to our own daily lives. Casper also doles out the permission to make these powerful tools our own, So what does The Power of Ritual bring to the table? This book seeks to take the goal of increased connection from theory to practice. It offers a specific methodology for elevating everyday experiences into “spiritual practices” with purpose and commitment. “We are building lives of meaning and connection outside of traditional religious spaces, but making it up as we go along can only take us so far. We need help to ground and enrich those practices. And if we are brave enough to look, it is in the ancient traditions where we find incredible insight and creativity that we can adapt for our modern world.”

The modern “religious none,” ter Kuile argues, can “unbundle” and “remix” religious traditions to suit their own needs, facilitating connection with themself, the people around them, the natural world, and the “transcendent.”This concept is the focus of much of ter Kuils’ scholarship and work. Notably, he co-hosts the popular podcast Harry Potter and the Sacred Text, which applies methods of scripture analysis to contemporary fiction. Fans of the podcast will find a lot to love in the book, which is built around the same essential approach. The book highlights other technically secular communities that incorporate ritualized, quasi-spiritual elements. Soul Cycle, which has long been compared to a spiritual community (favorably as a church and unfavorably as a cult), gets a particularly compelling analysis. The tone is consistently gentle and encouraging. Casper ter Kuile is all earnestness here. He truly believes in the power of his approach, and you get the sense he’d be delighted for you to try it. The book drops the barrier to entry as low as it can go. It promises readers that they can dip their toe into ritualizing everyday life with small shifts inhabit.”…you already have a host of rituals we might call spiritual practices–even if you’d never use that language. Reading, walking, eating, resting, reflecting: these are legitimate and worthy of your attention and care, and they can be the foundation of a life of the deep connection.” Despite the warm, fuzzy language, the suggestions in The Power of Ritual are tailored for a very narrow audience. The author is clear that he expects his readers to share his wholesale dismissal of traditional religion, as well as a fairly unfettered and flexible lifestyle. The book gives little consideration to anyone that differs significantly from the author. The Power of Ritual would have benefited tremendously from a co-author who could offer some context. Another writer, perhaps one at another stage of life, might have pushed back against the sweeping generalizations and blind spots in the book. Beautifully written, the book is thought-provoking. It’s also a gentle nudge to reclaim our lives and decide to live with commitment, attention, and connection.
