Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fully updated edition of one of the most original accounts of evolution ever written, featuring new fractal diagrams, six new 'tales' and the latest scientific developments. THE ANCESTOR'S TALE is a dazzling, four-billion-year pilgrimage to the origins of life: Richard Dawkins and Yan Wong take us on an exhilarating reverse journey through evolution, from present-day humans back to the microbial beginnings of life. It is a journey happily interrupted by meetings of fellow modern animals (as well as plants, fungi and bacteria) similarly tracing their evolutionary path back through history. As each evolutionary pilgrim tells their tale, Dawkins and Wong shed light on topics such as speciation, sexual selection and extinction. Written with unparalleled wit, clarity and intelligence; taking in new scientific discoveries of the past decade; and including new 'tales', illustrations and fractal diagrams, THE ANCESTOR'S TALE shows us how remarkable we are, how astonishing our history, and how intimate our relationship with the rest of the living world.

  • ISBN : 1532634455
  • Pages : 471 pages

Download or read book Poacher s Pilgrimage written by Alastair McIntosh and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The islands of the Outer Hebrides are home to some of the most remote and spectacular scenery in the world. They host an astonishing range of mysterious structures - stone circles, beehive dwellings, holy wells and 'temples' from the Celtic era. Over a twelve-day pilgrimage, often in appalling conditions, Alastair McIntosh returns to the islands of his childhood and explores the meaning of these places. Traversing moors and mountains, struggling through torrential rivers, he walks from the most southerly tip of Harris to the northerly Butt of Lewis. The book is a walk through space and time, across a physical landscape and into a spiritual one. As he battled with his own ability to endure some of the toughest terrain in Britain, he met with the healing power of the land and its communities. This is a moving book, a powerful reflection not simply of this extraordinary place and its people met along the way, but of imaginative hope for humankind.

  • ISBN : 9781838008123
  • Pages : 258 pages

Download or read book Illumination of the Shadow written by Anthea Durand and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine a world where everyone has access to all the stories of your ancestors, this would help you to connect to your lineage, heal relationships, and enable these stories to be passed down to future generations. In this book, I discuss real-life ancestral stories. For example, a family with a history of Parkinson's disease across many generations. The ancestral healer tracked the origin of the illness to a time in Africa when an ancestor witnessed the death of her brother, who was bitten by a snake. This caused the essence of this trauma to manifest in Parkinson's disease for future generations until the time came for it to be reviewed by the ancestral healer, which cleared and healed it for all future generations in the lineage. This is one of the many real-life stories that are shared in this book, obtained from the author's client work and group workshops during the completion of genuine energetic healing work. The process of illuminating the shadow aids soul healing and evolution. Healing ancestral patterns is the key to unlock shadow work. As more souls embody more of their source energy on Earth, delving into the shadow is more important than ever. It frees us from energy and patterns that do not serve us anymore. In these turbulent times, the shadow is staring us in the face on an individual and collective level; this is an important time to complete this work. This book shares pioneering knowledge and wisdom about shadow and ancestral work. Illuminating the shadow provides access to the gold; the healing and the wisdom, within which are the secrets of the universe ready to be accessed. Healing the ancestral shadow brings more joy into your life, along with improved relationships with your family and everyone around you. It provides a deep and safe exploration through all the ancestral layers that hold the key to your healing. Our own shadow often manifests itself as an opportunity to delve into the shadow and to find the story behind what is causing us pain. This book contains 10 chapters Our Ancestral Fields of Existence - Pathways of Consciousness Navigation of the Ancestral Fields - Pinpointing and Engineering Change Curses - Distorting Ancestral Reality Entities - Manifestations of the Shadows Collective Trauma - Creations of Humanities Shadows Individual Trauma - Lessons from the Ancestors Thought Forms - Driving our Reality Ancestral Illness - Wounds of the Past Ancestral Lands - Inherent Foundations of Wisdom Gifts from the ancestors - Celebration of divine inheritance Each chapter contains real-life ancestor stories from ancestral healing sessions, which are fascinating and empowering. The book creates an opportunity for the reader to reflect on how humanity has created much of its own trauma, and therefore the manifestation of similar patterns and illness that have continued down the generations. Reflection on this, which the book enables, illuminates the responsibility that we all have to pave a new better future for our families and future generations.

Book The Continuous Path

    Book Details:
  • Author : Samuel Duwe
  • Publisher : University of Arizona Press
  • Release : 2019-04-16
  • ISBN : 0816539286
  • Pages : 305 pages

Download or read book The Continuous Path written by Samuel Duwe and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southwestern archaeology has long been fascinated with the scale and frequency of movement in Pueblo history, from great migrations to short-term mobility. By collaborating with Pueblo communities, archaeologists are learning that movement was—and is—much more than the result of economic opportunity or a response to social conflict. Movement is one of the fundamental concepts of Pueblo thought and is essential in shaping the identities of contemporary Pueblos. The Continuous Path challenges archaeologists to take Pueblo notions of movement seriously by privileging Pueblo concepts of being and becoming in the interpretation of anthropological data. In this volume, archaeologists, anthropologists, and Native community members weave multiple perspectives together to write histories of particular Pueblo peoples. Within these histories are stories of the movements of people, materials, and ideas, as well as the interconnectedness of all as the Pueblo people find, leave, and return to their middle places. What results is an emphasis on historical continuities and the understanding that the same concepts of movement that guided the actions of Pueblo people in the past continue to do so into the present and the future. Movement is a never-ending and directed journey toward an ideal existence and a continuous path of becoming. This path began as the Pueblo people emerged from the underworld and sought their middle places, and it continues today at multiple levels, integrating the people, the village, and the individual.

Book New Pathways in Pilgrimage Studies

Download or read book New Pathways in Pilgrimage Studies written by Dionigi Albera and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there has been a massive increase in the volume of pilgrimage research and publications, traditional Anglophone scholarship has been dominated by research in Western Europe and North America. In their previous edited volume, International Perspectives on Pilgrimage Studies (Routledge, 2015), Albera and Eade sought to expand the theoretical, disciplinary and geographical perspectives of Anglophone pilgrimage studies. This new collection of essays builds on this earlier work by moving away from Eurasia and focusing on areas of the world where non-Christian pilgrimages abound. Individual chapters examine the practice of ziyarat in the Maghreb and South Asia, Hindu pilgrimage in India and different pilgrimage traditions across Malaysia and China before turning towards the Pacific islands, Australia, South Africa and Latin America, where Christian pilgrimages co-exist and sometimes interweave with indigenous traditions. This book also demonstrates the impact of political and economic processes on religious pilgrimages and discusses the important development of secular pilgrimage and tourism where relevant. Highly interdisciplinary, international, and innovative in its approach, New Pathways in Pilgrimage Studies: Global Perspectives will be of interest to those working in religious studies, pilgrimage studies, anthropology, cultural geography and folklore studies.

Book Pilgrimage Pathways for the United States

Download or read book Pilgrimage Pathways for the United States written by James E. Mills and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspirational argument for the creation of a new pilgrimage tradition in the United States. Pilgrimage is a sacred tradition that has existed around the world for centuries. Every year, more than one hundred million devotees from different cultures and faiths embark on journeys to such holy sites as Santiago de Compostela, Mecca, and Banaras. For some, making a pilgrimage is a spiritual act, while for others it is a secular experience of personal restoration. And yet there has never existed a tradition of pilgrimage within the United States. Cultural geographer James E. Mills makes a compelling case for the creation of a network of American pilgrimage routes to heal societal divisions and foster a new ethos of humanitarianism and environmentalism. He also addresses practical considerations for the development, ownership, and administration of future routes. Pilgrimage Pathways for the United States is for anyone considering a pilgrimage and for those of us who are interested in connecting and protecting our natural world, including environmentalists, interfaith clergy, political leaders, community developers, and activists.

Book The Return of Collective Intelligence

Download or read book The Return of Collective Intelligence written by Dery Dyer and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals how we can each reconnect to collective intelligence and return our world to wholeness, balance, and sanity • Explains how collective intelligence manifests in flocks of birds, instantaneous knowing in indigenous peoples, and the power of sacred places • Offers ways for us to reconnect to the infinite source of wisdom that fuels collective intelligence and underscores the importance of ceremony, pilgrimage, and initiation • Draws on recent findings in New Paradigm science, traditional teachings from indigenous groups from North, South, and Central America and Siberia, as well as sacred geometry, deep ecology, and expanded states of consciousness For our ancestors, collective intelligence was a normal part of life. We see it today as the mysterious force that enables flocks of birds, swarms of bees, and schools of fish to function together in perfect synchrony, communicating and cooperating at some undetectable level. At its most subtle, it’s an instantaneous knowing, shared by members of a group, of the wisest course of action that will benefit all. As Dery Dyer reveals, collective intelligence still resides within each of us, and it is the key to restoring balance and harmony to our world. She shows how it occurs spontaneously when individuals who share a need and a purpose instinctively “self-organize” into a group and function with no leader or central authority. Such groups exhibit abilities much greater than what any of their members possess individually--or what can be replicated with artificial intelligence. Dyer explains, due to an unquestioning dependence on technology, modern humanity has forgotten how to connect with collective intelligence and fallen into collective stupidity, otherwise known as mob mind or groupthink, which is now endangering the interconnected web of life on Earth. Drawing on recent findings in New Paradigm science, traditional teachings from indigenous groups, as well as sacred geometry, deep ecology, and expanded states of consciousness, the author shows how the ability to think and act collectively for the highest good is hardwired in all living beings. She explains how to release ourselves from enslavement by technology and use it more wisely toward the betterment of all life. Underscoring the vital importance of ceremony, pilgrimage, and initiation, she offers ways for us to reconnect to the infinite source of wisdom that fuels collective intelligence and which manifests everywhere in the natural world. Revealing that once we relearn how to hear the Earth, we can heal the Earth, Dyer shows how each of us has a vital role to play in restoring our world to wholeness.
