Download or read book All it takes is a U turn to inner self written by Mahadi Moloi and published by Dihama Publishing. This book was released on 2017-12-29 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On our journey to our God-ordained destiny, we often get tempted to drift away from our designated paths and then take highways and byways that we were not supposed to take. We then end up lost, hurt, disappointed, moving around in circles and getting further away from our destiny. When you feel lost and far away from your destiny or Creator, check your ways and the paths you have followed. No matter how far you have travelled, make a U-turn, your Creator is waiting expectantly with open arms to welcome you back. He will never question where you come from. He will never judge what you have done. Instead, He will offer you a resting place for your troubled and broken soul. All that He wants is for you to say "God, here are my broken pieces. Please help me to put them together again, for You are the One Who created me and therefore know which piece belongs where, and You also know where other pieces have fallen." No matter where you are No matter what happened to you No matter when it happened No matter how far you have travelled, "Come and let us return to the Lord, for He has torn (that which is evil in and around us) so that He may heal us: He has stricken (the devil that leads us astray) so that He may bind us up." Hosea 6:1

Download or read book Augustine s Invention of the Inner Self The Legacy of a Christian Platonist written by St. David's Phillip Cary Director of the Philosophy Program Eastern College, Pennsylvania and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2000-06-12 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Phillip Cary argues that Augustine invented the concept of the self as a private inner space-a space into which one can enter and in which one can find God. Although it has often been suggested that Augustine in some way inaugurated the Western tradition of inwardness, this is the first study to pinpoint what was new about Augustine's philosophy of inwardness and situate it within a narrative of his intellectual development and his relationship to the Platonist tradition. Augustine invents the inner self, Cary argues, in order to solve a particular conceptual problem. Augustine is attracted to the Neoplatonist inward turn, which located God within the soul, yet remains loyal to the orthodox Catholic teaching that the soul is not divine. He combines the two emphases by urging us to turn "in then up"--to enter the inner world of the self before gazing at the divine Light above the human mind. Cary situates Augustine's idea of the self historically in both the Platonist and the Christian traditions. The concept of private inner self, he shows, is a development within the history of the Platonist concept of intelligibility or intellectual vision, which establishes a kind of kinship between the human intellect and the divine things it sees. Though not the only Platonist in the Christian tradition, Augustine stands out for his devotion to this concept of intelligibility and his willingness to apply it even to God. This leads him to downplay the doctrine that God is incomprehensible, as he is convinced that it is natural for the mind's eye, when cleansed of sin, to see and understand God. In describing Augustine's invention of the inner self, Cary's fascinating book sheds new light on Augustine's life and thought, and shows how Augustine's position developed into the more orthodox Augustine we know from his later writings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book invites you to know yourself and enjoy the delight your Creator has in you. By finding your voice you will be able to engage more confidently in the life that lies ahead of you and welcome generous relationships with those who share the journey with you. So whether you are just starting out on life or sensing a later change of direction, you are encouraged to explore your creation and spiritual gifts and make your contribution around the table of leadership, participating fully in joining your voice to the conversation. The God who created you, and now redeems you, purposefully gifted you that voice and invites you to uncover it and offer it to the world in service as well as in self-expression. From her own lifetime of discovery, the author shares many stories of her journey and tackles some of the obstacles that are more acute for women on the way to finding their voice. But because we all need people around us understanding and encouraging us, the hope is that men will read these pages too in the spirit of #HeForShe, and so offer women their whole-hearted support.

Download or read book The Shift written by Wayne W. Dyer and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we contemplate leaving the morning of our life, where ego has played a commanding role, and entering the afternoon (and evening), where meaning and purpose replace ambition and struggle, we may encounter unexpected occurrences that accompany this new direction. It's almost a universal law that we'll experience a fall of some kind. Yet these falls or low points provide the energy we need to move away from ego and into a life of meaning and purpose. The Shift doesn't mean that we lose our drive and ambition; it signifies that we become ambitious about something new. We make a commitment to living a life based on experiencing meaning and feeling purposeful, rather than a life based on never-ending demands and false promises that are the trademark of the ego's agenda.

Download or read book Yuva Bharat written by Devir Singh Bhandari and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity.... These immortal lines of Charles Dickens perhaps aptly describe everything Yuva Bharat reflects. In an uncanny reflection of the times we are living in while this book is being released, it talks about what the world needs to read right now. For these are the times of COVID-19. These are the times when 'normal' has been redefined. Author Devir traces the journey of 69 young men and women who defined their own 'new normal'. He talks about people whose worlds collapsed way before COVID-19 had hit us and who emerged victorious against undefinable odds-people of sheer grit who did not need legs to win races; people who vested their faith in the unseen; or people who rose from the ashes like the proverbial phoenix. Some of the remarkable stories include the struggles, learnings and indomitable passions of Rajkummar Rao, Kiren Rijiju, Aditi Rao Hydari, Remo D'souza, Abhinav Bindra and Chitrangada Singh, among many others, who each went on to excel in their own craft. Yuva Bharat encompasses these tales of overcoming all odds and achieving success eventually. A compelling narrative, it takes us through life journeys and inspires us to get up in this instant and take charge of our lives. A straight shot of adrenaline, Devir gives us our carpe diem moment!

Download or read book Summa Theologiae Prima Pars written by Thomas Aquinas and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2023-06-23 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Leo XII promulgated Aeterni Patris in 1879, he stipulated that the "Leonine," or official, edition of the Summa should always be printed in conjunction with Cajetan's Commentary. For five hundred years they were studied together. Generations were trained by reading through the Summa article by article with Cajetan's commentaries in hand. Early printed editions of the Summa typically included them in a Talmudic arrangement, as marginal text running around each article by Aquinas. This edition imitates that example. Recently, serious thinkers of all denominations ? and none ? have found new reasons to be interested in St. Thomas. His text is deceptively simple, yet important issues are handled in every article, sometimes below the surface. Cajetan extracts these hidden issues, and explains and elaborates on them with remarkable affinity to modern analytical philosophy. Part of that affinity lies in the use of modal logic, a tool whose importance was overlooked between the Renaissance and the twentieth century. The time is ripe for an analytically-inspired translation of Thomas: hence this volume. Never until now has Cajetan's Commentary been put into English in its entirety. William Marshner's translation is consistent with fidelity to the technical force of the original. The translator's footnotes acknowledge what empirical science has made obsolete in the work of St. Thomas, and also make clear how much today's science would have saved Thomas useless labor. This volume will, for the first time, make Cajetan's help available to the modern reader.

Book excerpt: THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU..YOU ARE DIVINE PERFECTION From birth we are conditioned to hate & criticize ourselves, becoming completely lost in a society that tells us we are not enough & need to be perfect to be accepted or fit in, then ourselves judge others for not being perfect! This is why rejection hurts so much, we have been rejecting ourselves our entire lives with the way we seek love, approval & validation being through other people & external things, which are unreliable sources because people only reflect back to us, what we truly think about ourselves. This can only be healed from within, so learning to love ourselves regardless with a solid inner foundation of trust, establishing emotional stability & unconditional self-acceptance knowing we are always OK exactly as we are, is what you will learn & discover within this book. You are the only one that teaches people how to treat you & when you love yourself, setting healthy boundaries is easy because you honour your worth & know what you deserve. Our birthright natural state of being is, All is well but with non-stop brain washing, we can become enslaved to a system that tells us we don’t matter, suffering in an illusion of lack, fear & separation from ourselves & others, that creates chaos & dis-ease within our physical body or human meatsuit, locking your brain in survival mode & overthinking. With the truth of who we really are & where we came from being hidden, that reveals we matter way more than you could ever imagine. We are an angelic superhuman race that are destined to be the guardians of the multiverse with limitless co-creating abilities to manifest our own realities through words, thoughts, emotions & energy, manipulating matter with our vibrational frequencies as beings of light but first we need to master our minds. It is my sincerest hope that what I’ve learnt through my own journey is a beacon of guiding light to you, from self-hate to ultimate self-love, with your top priority always being, to become your own best friend!
