Download or read book Opening to Darkness written by Zenju Earthlyn Manuel and published by Sounds True. This book was released on 2023-03-21 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In darkness, we become devoted to clarity, courage, peace, and harmony. We discover the basic goodness of all humanity when we experience darkness together,” Zenju Earthlyn Manuel writes. “Life itself is a dark experience—a magical experience.” When you hear the word “darkness,” what does it make you feel—horror, danger, or maybe despair? We’ve been conditioned to fear and avoid darkness and blackness, yet Zenju Earthlyn Manuel challenges us to consider: “What if we chose to go deeper into darkness instead of running from it? What might we find there beyond our longing for light?” Drawing on the ancient wisdom found in Zen Buddhism and African and Native American indigenous traditions, Osho Zenju reveals how a change in perspective and increased wisdom can help us awaken to the sacredness of dark experiences in our lives—so we may experience a reality beyond avoidance and fear. Opening to Darkness will take you on a courageous journey into the mandala of darkness, a symbolic expression of your inner world, where you will travel through eight gateways that are inspired by Buddha’s Eightfold Path. Along your way, you will meet dark mothers from India, Nigeria, Japan, Haiti, and Dahomey, who both protect and destroy. Osho Zenju provides reflective inquiry, blessings, and meditations as you navigate your way through the vast depths of the unseen. It is through this spiritual pilgrimage that we learn how to: • Experience the wonders of life that can flourish only in the dark • Discover a collective doorway to healing and deep transformation • Awaken to the illusory nature of light versus dark • Illuminate false perceptions and beliefs of darkness • Heal the fear and anxiety around darkness and blackness Wrapped in gorgeous lyrical prose, Osho Zenju’s offerings provide deep soul relief and collective strength to embrace the dark—so we may reunite with the sacred process of darkness that flows through the canvas of our lives.

A soulless serial killer with a penchant for quite literally tearing his victims apart. So far, he seems to be focusing his energies on some unholy crusade against the clergy. Four priests are already dead, killed within their own churches. And now, All Hallows' Eve approaches. What game is he playing while he feeds off of the suffering of New Orleans?

Download or read book The Dry Wood written by Caryll Houselander and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2022-02-04 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the English-speaking world, the Catholic Literary Revival is typically associated with the work of G. K. Chesterton/Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene. But in fact the Revival’s most numerous members were women. While some of these women remain well known⎯Muriel Spark, Antonia White, Flannery O’Connor, Dorothy Day - many have been almost entirely forgotten. They include: Enid Dinnis, Anna Hanson Dorsey, Alice Thomas Ellis, Eleanor Farjeon, Rumer Godden, Caroline Gordon, Clotilde Graves, Caryll Houselander, Sheila Kaye-Smith, Jane Lane, Marie Belloc Lowndes, Alice Meynell, Kathleen Raine, Pearl Mary Teresa Richards, Edith Sitwell, Gladys Bronwyn Stern, Josephine Ward, and Maisie Ward. There are various reasons why each of these writers fell out of print: changes in the commercial publishing world after World War II, changes within the Church itself and in the English-speaking universities that redefined the literary canon in the last decades of the 20th century. Yet it remains puzzling that a body of writing so creative, so attuned to its historical moment, and so unique in its perspective on the human condition, should have fallen into obscurity for so long. The Catholic Women Writers series brings together the English-language prose works of Catholic women from the 19th and 20th centuries; work that is of interest to a broad range of readers. Each volume is printed with an accessible but scholarly introduction by theologians and literary specialists. The first volume in the series is Caryll Houselander’s The Dry Wood. Houselander is known primarily for her spiritual writings but she also wrote one novel, set in a post-war London Docklands parish. There a motley group of lost souls are mourning the death of their saintly priest and hoping for the miraculous healing of a vulnerable child whose gentleness in the face of suffering brings conversion to them all in surprising and unexpected ways. The Dry Wood offers a vital contribution to the modern literary canon and a profound meditation on the purpose of human suffering.
Download or read book Touched written by Marie-Laure Valandro and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journal for Star Wisdom 2015 includes articles of interest concerning star wisdom (Astrosophy), as well as a guide to the correspondences between stellar configurations during the life of Christ and those of today. This guide comprises a complete sidereal ephemeris and aspectarian, geocentric and heliocentric, for each day throughout the year. Published yearly, new editions are available beginning in October or November for the coming new year. According to Rudolf Steiner, every step taken by Christ during his ministry between the baptism in the Jordan and the resurrection was in harmony with--and an expression of--the cosmos. The Journal for Star Wisdom is concerned with these heavenly correspondences during the life of Christ. It is intended to help provide a foundation for cosmic Christianity, the cosmic dimension of Christianity. It is this dimension that has been missing from Christianity in its two-thousand-year history. Readers can begin on this path by contemplating the movements of the Sun, Moon, and planets against the background of the zodiacal constellations (sidereal signs) today in relation to corresponding stellar events during the life of Christ. In this way, the possibility is opened for attuning, in a living way, to the life of Christ in the etheric cosmos. This journal begins with an article on the relationship between the zodiacal ages and the cultural epochs by Robert Powell, followed by Estelle Isaacson's article about the early stages of Christ's Ascension into cosmic dimensions. Claudia McLaren Lainson's article relates events of our time against the background of St. Paul's experience of Christ at the gates of Damascus. Richard Tarnas's article, "The Evolving Tradition," offers important perspectives on the development of astrology in our time. Also included is an article by Kevin Dann, which considers the universal significance of the vortex, following up on an indication by Rudolf Steiner. Nicholas Kollerstrom contributed the article "Power of the Sun," discussing research into a new understanding of our Sun. There are also two articles by Brian Keats that contribute to research into aspects of biodynamic farming in connection with cosmic rhythms. The monthly commentaries for 2015 are by Claudia McLaren Lainson, supported by monthly astronomical previews provided by Sally Nurney that offer opportunities to observe and experi-ence the stellar conÿ gurations physically during 2015. This direct interaction between human beings on Earth and the heavenly beings of the stars develops our capacity to receive their wisdom-filled teachings.
Download or read book The Sacred Book of the Black Brotherhood written by Moriel Yamanu and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Black Brotherhood is a secret society of Sages and Adepts that exists from the dawn of the world, and that has been pushing forward many ancient civilizations and cultures like Lemuria and Atlantis; Sumeria, Ancient China, and Egypt; Aztecs and Mayans. While other teachings spread like the branches of the tree and stray ever further, the Teachings of the Black Brotherhood remain hidden as stable and black as the soil itself. It preserves the Ancient Wisdom hidden and untainted. The Teachings of the Black Brotherhood are always passed on as a tradition by word of mouth from Master to a Disciple from Ancient Times. For the first time, a big part of the tradition and the teachings of the Black Brotherhood from various Eras were gathered in writing and organized in a unified system, the first of its kind. The realization of the Book was the last will of my Master, and it became my Mission. The door has been opened. We are already among you... Moriel Yamanu
Download or read book Night of a Thousand Dreams written by Linda Duquesne and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NIGHT OF A THOUSAND DREAMS is a personal journey through the difficulties and mysteries of life. It is the endeavor of one Soul to understand the shadows and light that we all live. The stories, dreams, and challenges presented in this manuscript attempt to simplify many abstract and ancient concepts. The beauty of truth is that it is simple...not complex. The chapter Essence of Gold speaks to the nuggets of gold (truths) which are often twisted so tightly by conventional religion that their sacred intent and meaning is lost. Storytelling is an art that weaves the light of truths into the common stories of humanities struggles. These stories serve as an inspiration for me to keep moving forward on my journey. They reveal the spectrum of human emotions. This collection of spiritual stories is my attempt as a storyteller to inspire others to share their unique perspectives and truths.
Download or read book Conrad s Shadow written by Nidesh Lawtoo and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western thought has often dismissed shadows as fictional, but what if fictions reveal original truths? Drawing on an anti-Platonic tradition in critical theory, Lawtoo adopts ethical, anthropological, and philosophical lenses to offer new readings of Joseph Conrad’s novels and the postcolonial and cinematic works that respond to his oeuvre. He argues that Conrad’s fascination with doubles urges readers to reflect on the two sides of mimesis: one side is dark and pathological, and involves the escalation of violence, contagious epidemics, and catastrophic storms; the other side is luminous and therapeutic, and promotes communal survival, postcolonial reconciliation, and plastic adaptations to changing environments. Once joined, the two sides reveal Conrad as an author whose Janus-faced fictions are powerfully relevant to our contemporary world of global violence and environmental crisis.

Download or read book The Possibility of Philosophy written by Maurice Merleau-Ponty and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-15 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Possibility of Philosophy presents the notes that Maurice Merleau‐Ponty prepared for three courses he taught at the Collège de France: “The Possibility of Philosophy Today,” given in the spring semester of 1959, and “Cartesian Ontology and Ontology Today” and “Philosophy and Nonphilosophy since Hegel,” both given in the spring semester of 1961. The last two courses remain incomplete due to Merleau-Ponty’s unexpected death on May 3, 1961. Nonetheless, they provide indications of the new ontology that informed The Visible and the Invisible, a posthumously published work that was under way at the same time. These courses offer readers of Merleau‐Ponty’s late thought a wealth of references—to painting, literature, and psychoanalysis, and to the works of Husserl, Heidegger, Descartes, Hegel, and Marx—that fill in some of the missing pieces of The Visible and the Invisible, especially its often terse and sometimes cryptic working notes. We see more clearly how Merleau-Ponty’s attempt to bring forth a new ontology indicates a fundamental revision in what it means to think, an attempt to reimagine the possibility of philosophy.
Download or read book A Light in Dark Places written by Daniel Sykes and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a compilation of poetry associated with a timing of running and flowing rhythm in the essence of time that sings us the song of living and coinciding truth in the faith and grace we share accompaniment. Words flow off the tongue, and we are possessed by delivery and the need for persuasion, of words and verses in converse light with the facts of day by day and nightly trends. To walk this world, we are divined to understand quotes and consider all and any differences, to qualify our sentence in voice of character and prosperous conclusions, in the light of happiness and the pleasure of company, love, consideration, explanation, good business, and in entertaining our thoughts for the greater outlook, in fun. We all benefited and are at a pleasure to understand others differences in light with our own in the time that we can consider free, to be able to ease minds, allow the hair to fall, relax, and sit down and reflect on the day-to-day humdrum by use of the time we have after chores and daily efforts in the walk of life concur at the end of the day. Relaxation is a job that must be completed in order that we regain the drive that enables our mechanisms to function freely, so we are able to achieve our tasks and deliver our goals for the period we look forward to at the days end or after the usual shift. Fun has a serious side, and amusement, entertainment, and mirth are all in the order of enlightenment that we must endeavor to indulge in the way we see fit. We all have our tasks, social outlets, friends, company, family and business to seat the needs in investment of our time, that we should consider precious to precocious social links.

Book excerpt: A NEW ORDER IS RISING... Kandi failed to protect Earth, Juan, and her true name. Now she serves under the control of TIME, who wishes to manipulate all mortals into serving him, thereby granting him the power to conquer worlds without end. Juan is a Hero in some circles and a traitor in others. For over a decade he has been a slave on an alien world, and he has lost any drop of hope he had left after the demolition of Earth. It is not until the announcement of a new Monarch who shall reunite the last Six Worlds that a spark of hope returns within him. When LEISIL, the new goddess of Appetite, chooses him as her Mate, the spark is once again snuffed from existence, and it is all he can do to simply survive day to day. The galaxy is in peril, and only Kandi and Juan together can save it. Unfortunately, every immortal being is working tirelessly to pull them farther apart. It is only a matter of time before DARKNESS, an entity which grows parallel to the willful depravity of souls, consumes the very source of light in the cosmos. Will Kandi be able to break the bonds of Time and save all mortal souls? And will Juan be able to muster hope in an ever-darkening world?
