This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How many self-help or life-strategy books do you know have been around for thousands of years and are still revered by millions of people today? I believe there are two such books: the Bible and the Tao Te Ching. This Christian Edition of the Tao Te Ching is an 81-day journey into the limitless power of your spirit that will allow you to find true happiness and abundance. It reveals profound spiritual principles that, when put into practice, can set you on your own greatness: finding, orienting yourself toward and then following the flow of God's Spirit in your life, trusting it to guide your actions and amplify your efforts so that you can achieve your best possible life. Featuring a text of the Tao Te Ching that's infused with language from the Bible to clarify themes common to both books, this volume also includes annotations to specific Bible verses that will help you: * Discern the mystic wisdom contained in God's Word * Discover how to tap into the flow of God's energy in your life to accomplish your goals * Learn how to live in the present moment without undue concern about the future * Connect to the power of God's Spirit to create or change any aspect of your life. Though often overlooked by the world at large, the subtle, powerful, and often paradoxical truths revealed in this volume will allow all readers--Christian and non-Christian alike--to find their own Greatness.This Christian Edition of the Tao Te Ching is like a road map helping us realize we are Built For Greatness. On this path, "greatness" isn't about putting forth maximum effort to achieve fame, financial success or other such trappings that the world commonly venerates. Rather, Built For Greatness is about finding, orienting yourself toward and then following the flow of energy and God's Spirit in your life, trusting it both to guide your actions and to amplify your efforts to achieve your best possible life. This might include wealth and other material blessings; or it might not. Everyone's path is different. The key is to find your journey and follow it, trusting it to take you where it will. If you take care of the journey, the destination will take care of itself. How to read this book? Avoid the temptation to rush through this book. Instead, try reading just one chapter every day in a kind of 81-day experiment. At the end of your 81 days and the 81 chapters, take a spiritual inventory. How have your thoughts changed over the last eleven weeks? What are you doing differently now? Do you have an increased sense of peace and stillness in your life? As you continue to explore these new ideas, you very well might find yourself repeating this 81-day experiment. The principles are ever more important today, teaching us to keep our priorities clear so we can follow the Spirit of God and exercise leadership with God's amazing grace. In the wake of a Reformation dividing Christianity 500 years ago, this Christian version of the Tao Te Ching will be vital as a unifying spiritual Reformation for now and the future.

Download or read book The Unveiling Secrets of a Purposeful Driven Life written by Edwin Enomhensike , I and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-27 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At one time or another, we have all contemplated such introspective questions as, "What is my purpose on Earth? What happens when I die? Is God satisfied with the way I am living on Earth?" All humans are here to fulfill a mission. This is why we must live by the Word of God and listen to the Holy Spirit to direct and lead our paths. Inspired by the power of the Holy Spirit, Edwin Enomhensike I shares insight on how to further strengthen the ability of God's chosen generation to exercise their rights and authorities as Christians on Earth, regardless of age, race, background, and origin. Edwin addresses several topics of interest that include the reasons why we are on Earth, the ways to understand God's purpose for our lives, God's divine purpose for creating man, the principle of giving, and the ways to overcome hindrances and tap into God's purpose for our lives. The Unveiling Secrets of a Purposeful Driven Life is a thoughtful guide to both understanding and moving forward with God's divine plan for our lives. In this book, you will understand how God in His infinite goodness and thought process created humans for a specific purpose which He expects us to fulfill before transiting to the world beyond where we will meet with Him again. We have been given the mandate and responsibility to create positive impacts on our world, generations and to those around us, so why not take that bold step to recreate your future? Do not allow anyone to undermine your potentials and inner strength because you have a source which is connected to the heavenly kingdom. Be bold like a lion and act intelligently like an ant because that is your inheritance. Be not be deceived, you have an inheritance which is in Christ Jesus. You cannot be operating below your potentials because you have not utilized 5% of your brain. There is something inside of you that is awaiting an activation for you to start operating in the realm God wants you to.

Download or read book Between Past and Future written by Hannah Arendt and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-09-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of Eichmann in Jerusalem and The Origins of Totalitarianism, “a book to think with through the political impasses and cultural confusions of our day” (Harper’s Magazine) Hannah Arendt’s insightful observations of the modern world, based on a profound knowledge of the past, constitute an impassioned contribution to political philosophy. In Between Past and Future Arendt describes the perplexing crises modern society faces as a result of the loss of meaning of the traditional key words of politics: justice, reason, responsibility, virtue, and glory. Through a series of eight exercises, she shows how we can redistill the vital essence of these concepts and use them to regain a frame of reference for the future. To participate in these exercises is to associate, in action, with one of the most original and fruitful minds of the twentieth century.

Download or read book The Unfolding God of Jung and Milton written by James P. Driscoll and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first extensive Jungian treatment of Milton's major poems, James P. Driscoll uses archetypal psychology to explore Milton's great themes of God, man, woman, and evil and offers readers deepened understanding of Jung's profound thoughts on Godhead. The Father, the Son, Satan, Messiah, Samson, Adam, and Eve gain new dimensions of meaning as their stories become epiphanies of the archetypes of Godhead. God and Satan of Paradise Lost are seen as the ego and the shadow of a single unfolding personality whose anima is the Holy Spirit and Milton's muse. Samson carries the Yahweh archetype examined by Jung in Answer to Job, and Messiah and Satan in Paradise Regained embody the hostile brothers archetype. Anima, animus and the individuation drive underlie the psychodynamics of Adam and Eve's fall. Driscoll draws on his critical acumen and scholarly knowledge of Renaissance literature to shed new light on Jung's psychology of religion. The Unfolding God of Jung and Milton illumines Jung's heterodox notion of Godhead as a quarternity rather than a trinity, his revolutionary concept of a divine individuation process, his radical solution to the problem of evil, and his wrestling with the feminine in Godhead. The book's glossary of Jungian terms, written for literary critics and theologians rather than clinicians, is exceptionally detailed and insightful. Beyond enriching our understanding of Jung and Milton, Driscoll's discussion contributes to theodicy, to process theology, and to the study of myths and archetypes in literature.

Download or read book Faith in Conservation written by Martin Palmer and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, arising from over twenty years experience of working with the world's major faiths, draws extensively upon joint World Bank and ARC (Alliance of Religion and Conservation)/WWF (World Wildlife Fund for Nature) projects world wide. It shows, through stories, land management, myths, investment policies, legends, advocacy and celebration, the role the major faiths have, do and can play in making the world a better place. The major faiths are the oldest institutions in the world and have survived essentially because they are constantly evolving and changing. There is much to be learnt by newer institutions such as the World Bank and the multitudes of NGOs about how to remain true to what you believe but change and grow as you develop. The book explores issues of climate change, forestry, asset management, education and biodiversity protection and does so using the techniques of the great faiths storytelling, example and celebration. It reveals a variety of world views and it asks us to see that our personal view may be just one amongst many. The challenge of living with integrity in a pluralist world underlies the book and it offers models of how diversity is crucial in attempting to ensure we have a sustainable world.
Download or read book The Space of Literature written by Maurice Blanchot and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015-11 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maurice Blanchot, the eminent literary and cultural critic, has had a vast influence on contemporary French writers--among them Jean Paul Sartre and Jacques Derrida. From the 1930s through the present day, his writings have been shaping the international literary consciousness. The Space of Literature, first published in France in 1955, is central to the development of Blanchot's thought. In it he reflects on literature and the unique demand it makes upon our attention. Thus he explores the process of reading as well as the nature of artistic creativity, all the while considering the relation of the literary work to time, to history, and to death. This book consists not so much in the application of a critical method or the demonstration of a theory of literature as in a patiently deliberate meditation upon the literary experience, informed most notably by studies of Mallarmé, Kafka, Rilke, and Hölderlin. Blanchot's discussions of those writers are among the finest in any language.

In addition, the way the future is understood and used is changing in almost all domains, from social science to daily life. This book presents the results of significant research undertaken by UNESCO with a number of partners to detect and define the theory and practice of anticipation around the world today.
