Download or read book Simply Living written by Shirley Jones and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of us has a tribal ancestry. We carry within us an ancient identity. Most of us took the technological path from this source: logical, analytical, exclusive, specialized, centralized. A very small minority has remained on the path of their ancestors: holistic, intuitive, inclusive, diversified, and generalized. Their lives are organized along simpler lines, simpler living. While critically endangered in most parts of the world, and disappearing as larger technological cultures surround and dilute them, the last strains of their wisdom live on today. Most of us now are trying to simplify our technological lives, to bring our existence more into line with the wisdom of nature and community. Simply Living gathers wisdom from 240 ethnic groups on every continent about this way of life, seeking to find a voice that harkens back to our ancient identity. This is wisdom based in villages and tribes, wisdom built on awareness of the natural world and awareness of the basic human needs often ignored by modern life. Often funny and eccentric, the quotes offered here avoid glorifying indigenous people and instead seek to show the full texture of human experience while revealing the common truths we share.

Download or read book All about Life written by Supriya Reuben and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alchemical poetry is a blend of natural and esoteric philosophy… It acts as a transformation of mental thought patterns moving into the unexplored areas of wisdom – the actualization of the complete human essence; the regeneration of the futuristic human, who emerges like a phoenix from the past, refreshed and cleansed – a unique blend of experimental and lyrical style which gives room for mystical experiences right on the page! A lyric implies a rhythmically interesting line in a poem that could be sung; this is often where the emotive function plays a larger role. In addition, the lyric frequently refers to a category of poetic literature, which is representational of music in its sound patterns, characterized by subjectivity and sensuality of expression — usually in a highly enthusiastic and exuberant way. The poetry holds its own consciousness by intertwining with life, death and dreams, where inner and outer worlds resonate and come together in a redefined notion of self that takes shape in the alchemical imagination of time and space.
