Download or read book Eclipse A Journey to Darkness and Light written by David Levy and published by ibooks. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to world-famous astronomer David Levy, an eclipse of the sun “is a natural event with unnatural consequences. In fact, a total eclipse of the Sun has the power to rip through to the core of your being.” Levy should know, having experienced the power of the vanishing Sun first as a child then in 1999 on a ship in the North Atlantic. It was that voyage to the darkness of the disappearing Sun, followed by a rendezvous with a brilliant display of the Northern Lights, that formed the inspiration for this book. Levy recounts the recorded history of eclipses, how they have been perceived by ancient cultures, how they can be predicted, and how best to view them. In addition, he explains the science of solar eclipses and what can be gained by studying them. In a manner accessible to all readers, Levy recounts the story of nature’s most profound displays.
Download or read book The Rebirthing of God written by John Philip Newell and published by SkyLight Paths Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dare to imagine a new birth from deep within Christianity, a fresh stirring of the Spirit. “The walls of Western Christianity are collapsing. In many parts of the West that collapse can only be described as seismic.... There are three main responses or reactions to this collapse. The first is to deny that it is happening. The second is to frantically try to shore up the foundations of the old thing. The third, which I invite us into, is to ask what is trying to be born that requires a radical reorientation of our vision. What is the new thing that is trying to emerge from deep within us and from deep within the collective soul of Christianity?” —from the Introduction In the midst of dramatic changes in Western Christianity, internationally respected spiritual leader, peacemaker and scholar John Philip Newell offers the hope of a fresh stirring of the Spirit among us. He invites us to be part of a new holy birth of sacred living. Speaking directly to the heart of Christians—those within the well-defined bounds of Christian practice and those on the disenchanted edges—as well as to the faithful and seekers of other traditions, he explores eight major features of a new birthing of Christianity: Coming back into relationship with the Earth as sacred Reconnecting with compassion as the ground of true relationship Celebrating the Light that is at the heart of all life Reverencing the wisdom of other religious traditions Rediscovering spiritual practice as the basis for transformation Living the way of nonviolence among nations Looking to the unconscious as the wellspring of new vision Following love as the seed-force of new birth in our lives and world
Download or read book Beyond the Eclipse written by Alice Thorpe Harrold and published by Inspiring Voices. This book was released on 2014 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visualize the brilliance of the sky illuminating life-until a brief moment thrusts one onto a path not chosen. Mirroring an eclipse, the summer sun disappears behind a circle of darkness as a young man faces his foe of cancer. The hands of time cease their journey as questions go unanswered and prayers seem unheard. There is One who does hear, though-One who stands in that darkness. God knows that the eclipse will come and the world will be without light. His plans will unfold as the sun once again slips into view. It happened at the cross; it still happens today ... Gently tucked within these pages are stories created from such a time. For those who mourn, those who seek, those who feel the sun will never again shine, Beyond the Eclipse beckons.
Download or read book Light in the Darkness written by Heino Falcke and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Bestseller On April 10, 2019, award-winning astrophysicist Heino Falcke presented the first image ever captured of a black hole at an international press conference—a turning point in astronomy that Science magazine called the scientific breakthrough of the year. That photo was captured with the unthinkable commitment of an intercontinental team of astronomers who transformed the world into a global telescope. While this image achieved Falcke’s goal in making a black hole “visible” for the first time, he recognizes that the photo itself asks more questions for humanity than it answers. Light in the Darkness takes us on Falcke’s extraordinary journey to the darkest corners of the universe. From the first humans looking up at the night sky to modern astrophysics, from the study of black holes to the still-unsolved mysteries of the universe, Falcke asks, in even the greatest triumphs of science, is there room for doubts, faith, and a God? A plea for curiosity and humility, Light in the Darkness sees one of the great minds shaping the world today as he ponders the big, pressing questions that present themselves when we look up at the stars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon presenting the 1986 Nobel Prize for Peace to Elie Wiesel, Egil Aarvick, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee, hailed him as "a messenger to mankind--not with a message of hate and revenge but with one of brotherhood and atonement."

Download or read book Seeking union with spirit written by Fiona Gardner and published by Interactive Publications. This book was released on 2020-07-08 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although originally daunted at being asked to present the 2020 James Backhouse Lecture to Australian Friends, Fiona Gardner came to find that the opportunity encouraged her to reflect more deeply on her own journey and what might usefully be shared with others. For over twenty years, Fiona has participated in facilitating the Meeting for Learning (a year-long program for spiritual nurture, designed to explore Spirit and Quaker ways), and lives with her partner in a small intentional community that has been a place of spiritual nurture and learning. She has worked as a social worker for many years and now as a university teacher, particularly in fostering critical reflection and spirituality for social workers and critical spirituality for pastoral care workers. A continuing challenge in her spiritual life has been how to integrate her spiritual being in all of these aspects of her life. “Why seek to live life in union with Spirit? Such a life, in my experience and that of many others, is a fuller, richer, meaning filled and deeper life, connected to that which is eternal. It means moving from what is often called the ‘divided life’, beyond opposing forces to a place of wholeness, to integrating all of who we are in all that we do. To do this means holding together these opposites.”

Book excerpt: In the dimly lit alleyways of Kaldoria City, where shadows dance with the moonlight, a figure moves with eerie grace. Known only as "Eclipse," she is a vampire assassin feared for her ruthless efficiency and deadly precision. Her silver hair cascades like a river of moonbeams, and her piercing blue eyes hold the secrets of countless lives extinguished. But in the darkness of her existence, fate weaves a new thread, one that will unravel the very fabric of her being. Forced to protect a young girl targeted by dark forces, Eclipse finds herself delving into the girl's mysterious origins. Little does she know that this quest will lead her to a shocking revelation—a revelation that connects her long-forgotten past to the girl's uncertain future. As the tale unfolds, the boundaries between light and darkness blur, and Eclipse's heart is pulled in conflicting directions. Her icy resolve begins to thaw as she becomes inexplicably drawn to the plight of the young girl, Luna. Vulnerability and fear awaken in her emotions she hadn't felt in centuries, and something about Luna stirs dormant memories within her. With malevolent entities closing in, the vampire assassin must confront her own demons and make a choice that will not only shape the girl's destiny but her own as well. In a world where darkness threatens to consume all, Serena must embark on a journey of redemption, love, and hope—an epic saga that transcends time and defies the boundaries of eternity. This is the story of "Shades of Eternity," where the shadows of the past intertwine with the luminous possibilities of the future.

Download or read book The Journey Home to Abba written by Camella Rose Mac Donald and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This devotion by Charles H. Spurgeon sums up the inspirational and poetic journey that brought me home to Abba Father. "He led them forth by the right way." ?Psalm 107:7 Changeful experience often leads the anxious believer to enquire "Why is it thus with me?" I looked for light, but lo, darkness came; for peace, but behold trouble. I said in my heart, my mountain standeth firm, I shall never be moved. Lord, thou dost hide Thy face, and I am troubled. It was but yesterday that I could read my title clear; to-day my evidences are bedimmed, and my hopes are clouded. Yesterday I could climb to Pisgah's top, and view the landscape o'er, and rejoice with confidence in my future inheritance; to-day, my spirit has no hopes, but many fears; no joys, but much distress. Is this part of God's plan with me? Can this be the way in which God would bring me to heaven? Yes, it is even so. The eclipse of your faith, the darkness of your mind, the fainting of your hope, all these things are but parts of God's method of making you ripe for the great inheritance upon which you shall soon enter. These trials are for the testing and strengthening of your faith-they are waves that wash you further upon the rock-they are winds which waft your ship the more swiftly towards the desired haven. According to David's words, so it might be said of you, "so He bringeth them to their desired haven." By honour and dishonour, by evil report and by good report, by plenty and by poverty, by joy and by distress, by persecution and by peace, by all these things is the life of your souls maintained, and by each of these are you helped on your way. Oh, think not, believer, that your sorrows are out of God's plan; they are necessary parts of it. "We must, through much tribulation, enter the kingdom." Learn, then, even to "count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations." "O let my trembling soul be still, And wait Thy wise, Thy holy will! I cannot, Lord, Thy purpose see, Yet all is well since ruled by Thee."
