Book excerpt: This is a collection of 24 poems written over three years on the everyday spiritual experiences of youth. Often we find ourselves standing on the boundary between a material life and spiritual experiences. Both worlds have a lot to offer to our Mind and to our Self. The balanced journey between these worlds often lets us know that there is not much difference between them. The pure joy of living the everyday life of work, home and everything in between often takes us to the depths of Spirituality and Materialism. In this day and age, when we have the grace of living masters such as Ammachi, Mooji, Sadhguru and profound wisdom over Youtube channels, what more do we need to really wake up? Still the pull to do something in the world and maybe create an app or two just to prove yourself also attack us once in a while. Finally, all we can be grateful for is this beautiful opportunity of human life in this century.
Download or read book A Two Spirit Journey written by Ma-Nee Chacaby and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling, harrowing, but ultimately uplifting story of resilience and self-discovery. A Two-Spirit Journey is Ma-Nee Chacaby’s extraordinary account of her life as an Ojibwa-Cree lesbian. From her early, often harrowing memories of life and abuse in a remote Ojibwa community riven by poverty and alcoholism, Chacaby’s story is one of enduring and ultimately overcoming the social, economic, and health legacies of colonialism. As a child, Chacaby learned spiritual and cultural traditions from her Cree grandmother and trapping, hunting, and bush survival skills from her Ojibwa stepfather. She also suffered physical and sexual abuse by different adults, and in her teen years became alcoholic herself. At twenty, Chacaby moved to Thunder Bay with her children to escape an abusive marriage. Abuse, compounded by racism, continued, but Chacaby found supports to help herself and others. Over the following decades, she achieved sobriety; trained and worked as an alcoholism counsellor; raised her children and fostered many others; learned to live with visual impairment; and came out as a lesbian. In 2013, Chacaby led the first gay pride parade in Thunder Bay. Ma-Nee Chacaby has emerged from hardship grounded in faith, compassion, humour, and resilience. Her memoir provides unprecedented insights into the challenges still faced by many Indigenous people.

Download or read book Journey Into the Spirit Empowered Life written by Chris Vennetti and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-12 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus stated that whoever believes in Him would do even greater works than He did because He was going to the Father (John 14:12). With such solid promises from God Himself, why is it that so many sincere Christ-followers feel confined to a life of spiritual mediocrity? How is it that those who have the Spirit of God living in them are failing to live in victory over sin? Why is there so much lack of love and unity among those called to represent God's life to the world? Journey into the Spirit Empowered Life is a book that transcends culture, and taps into the deepest desires that God has placed in the human soul. This book addresses some of the hard questions that many Christ-followers have in their hearts but have not found answers to. Through the pages of this book we will seek to break the status quo and enter into a new reality with God that will transform every aspect of our lives.

Download or read book Journey Through the World of Spirit written by David L. Oakford and published by Reality Press. This book was released on 2007-07 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Oakford's story is true, real, and utterly profound. Although street drugs were clearly the initial for this NDE, what happened next was a full-blown ascended state of consciousness that is well-documented in the spiritual and scientific literature. This book is once again revealing that NDE's are not magic, nor do they produce saints. And we can think David for baring his soul as to the psychic struggles and the depression that followed his awakening. Because ultimately there emerged a transformed man who knew, positively knew, that there is more to life and death than we are taught in our religious organizations, and more to God's greater plan for us than we can imagine today.
