Download or read book Move Choreographing You written by Stephanie Rosenthal and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2011-08-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How visual art has been enriched by dance, and dance has been shaped by art, in unprecedented and exciting ways for the past fifty years. Move. Choreographing You explores the interaction between visual art and dance since the 1960s. This beautifully illustrated book, published in connection with a major exhibition, focuses on visual artists and choreographers who create sculptures and installations that direct the movements of audiences—making them dancers and active participants. Move shows that choreography is not merely about the notation of movement on paper or in film but about the ways the body inhabits sculpture and installations. The book documents some of the diverse but interconnected ways that visual art and choreography have come together over the past fifty years. Among the artists whose work helped to forge the art-dance connection are Allan Kaprow, Robert Morris, Lygia Clark, Bruce Nauman, Trisha Brown, Simone Forti, Franz West, Mike Kelley, Isaac Julien, and William Forsythe. Artists from a younger generation who helped to bring the worlds of art and dance together are also looked at—Trisha Donnelly, Christian Jankowski, and Tino Sehgal among them. Move also features new commissions by leading international artists and reconstructions of important works from the past as well as an illustrated contextual archive and timeline.

Download or read book Love Is an Inside Job written by Romal Tune and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith in God plus therapy are the combination that leads to wholeness. Tune's story of his faith/therapy path to authenticity with God will empower you for your own life journey. Tune is the son of a drug-addicted single parent mother, who herself, inherited deeply ingrained obstacles to self-love. He found his way out of poverty via the military. He graduated from Howard University and Duke School of Divinity. He was a minister, a sought-after speaker, and social entrepreneur. Outwardly, he was successful, an overcomer. Yet, his past, hidden childhood trauma would sometimes revolt, causing self-sabotage that threatened to destroy the life he was creating. He worked hard to keep the emotional brokenness caused by the challenges of his upbringing carefully hidden -- especially from the church. His mother, with whom he successfully reconciled after she was finally free from addiction, died of lung cancer. Then he divorced -- a second time. Feeling like a failure, questioning his faith and will to live, he made a choice not to give up but to examine his life and seek counseling. Dubbed "Brother Brown" (a Black man's Brene Brown), his book shares his process of applying therapy and faith to anger, shame, self-doubt and plaguing memories. Romal learned that the pursuit of success was not the key to healing the inner turmoil but it was in learning to accept the love of God and learning to love the wounded child within. His past pain was redeemed as self-worth and he finally found inner peace. No longer carrying the weight of secrets, guilt and shame, he emerged emotionally free and more powerful than ever. His book will empower others to stop living a past driven present by healing their stories, embracing the love of God, and learning to truly love themselves.
Download or read book Krishna in the Sky with Diamonds written by Scott Teitsworth and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-01-25 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A verse-by-verse examination of Arjuna’s soma experience and Krishna’s psychedelic guidance in the Bhagavad Gita • Explains how the Bhagavad Gita provides complete guidelines for the spiritual use of entheogens--from prior mental preparations to the integration of profound visionary insights into everyday consciousness • Examines Chapter XI of the Gita in detail to illuminate Arjuna’s hallucinogenic experience and expose Krishna as the ultimate psychedelic guide • Shows psychedelic experience to be an essential and ancient part of the path to spiritual transformation Known as a text of liberation and enlightenment and praised not only by Indians but also by prominent modern thinkers such as Aldous Huxley and Albert Einstein, the Bhagavad Gita is one of the most commented-upon books of all time, yet one aspect has never before been examined: Arjuna’s psychedelic soma experience with his guru Krishna. Drawing upon his many years as a student of Nitya Chaitanya Yati, whose teacher was Gita scholar Nataraja Guru, preeminent disciple of Narayana Guru, Scott Teitsworth explains how the Bhagavad Gita, through the story of the hero Arjuna and his guru Krishna, provides complete guidelines for the spiritual use of entheogens, from prior mental preparations to the integration of profound visionary insights into everyday consciousness. Examining Chapter XI of the Bhagavad Gita verse by verse, he illuminates Arjuna’s complex revelatory experience and exposes Krishna’s role as the ultimate spiritual guide--facets of the Gita evident to anyone with psychedelic experience yet long suppressed in favor of paths to enlightenment through service or meditation. He shows that psychedelics are indeed “gateway drugs” in that they stimulate open exploration of the mind and the meaning of life. Uncovering new depths to this revered manual of spiritual instruction, Teitsworth reveals psychedelic experience to be an essential and ancient path to ignite realization in the prepared student, turn theory into direct experience, and bring the written teachings to life.

During those 7 days in coma, he was plunged into the deepest realms of consciousness and came to understand profound truths about the universe we inhabit.

Ultimately, direct experience is key to fully understanding how we are all connected through the binding force of unconditional love and its unlimited power to heal.

Download or read book Leaders and Leadership written by Lee Thayer and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-09-22 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the West, and in America particularly, we have deep-seated beliefs in 1. Evolution the idea that all things are constantly evolving in the right direction; 2. Progress the idea that whatever is newer is better, whether it is a theory or a technological tool; and 3. Consensus the idea that the more people who adopt a new idea or a new fashion in clothes or cars, the greater the likelihood that they are right. So we go from a new fashion to the next new fashion. We believe that change is progress. And we have faith that the changes over which we have no control are taking us where we ought to be going since evolving is inevitable. These are beliefs that structure the core of our thoughts and our lives. These are beliefs that lead us to see the world as linear and literal. Most of the longest-running civilizations of the past native American Indian, for example were cyclical. Every generation was expected to reprise and replicate the preceding generation, with only minor changes in execution. Those people were for thousands of years truth-keepers, carefully guarding the truths that had been passed down to them from the past. By contrast, we are truth-seekers, forever inventing newer truths in order to render the existing ones obsolete. As a result, we look for the wisdom for living and for running our organizations in the most recent emanations from our gurus and experts. In doing so, we miss the wisdom of the ages. This book attempts to redress that fl aw in our thinking. Lee Thayer shows us in this book how to fi nd the wisdom that could make a real difference in our lives and our businesses. Few would be more qualifi ed to do so.

Download or read book The Pen written by Nicholas Karapondo and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is God, and what is humanity's place in the universe? The author attempts to shed light on these archetypal queries through a spiritual tale of love and rejection, death and shamanism, a search for truth and meaning, and ultimately, multidimensional verities and enlightenment. Yet it's verily everyman's journey. On a voyage transcending identification with Ego, the reader is transported to a Presence beyond rational acuity. But the telling and intellectual consideration of this chronicle only gets you so far. It's akin to teaching algebra to a dog; the dog's not going to get it in its present propensity for understanding. It has to evolve. Each and every Now, Choice creates endless quantums of possibilities. The human, intent on continuity of story, abides outside the Shekinah, in Ego, where Destruction propagates. Yet the Eternal State of Being is there, as close as your jugular. At the core of the book is a clarion call for a transformation of consciousness; a spiritual evolution, from Homo sapiens to Homo Spiritus. The author presents a simple-to-grasp but difficult-to-hold-to edict for ascension: Believe, Obey, and Receive. Recounting his own journey to Wisdom, he identifies the direct link which Jesus heard and mastered, and compels awakening readers to wholly integrate into their lives as essential the awesome responsibility of Choice.
