As a young man, he returns for seven days to the City to take up his father's work, in an attempt to rectify his distance from humanity, from his own soul, from his own destiny. He uses logic, reason and an appeal for human compassion to try to bridge to the people of the City but finds only failure for himself as he cannot be as psychically insightful and empathic as his father was.

Download or read book My Heresies written by Michael Jean Nystrom-Schut and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-06-25 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mind of each person on the planet, a set of notions and ideas of God or gods reside. Some of these systems are basic and simple. Others are highly complex and complicated. Some borrow their God/god notions from authority, or from others they know. Others are much more original - eclectically piecing together many separate parts from multiple sources. No two people in the world experience and translate God/gods in the same way. And this is what makes things so interesting! As I have encountered this wonderful life, I have also bumped up against countless people who were in the position to explain exactly who God was and was not. They were quite sure of themselves, and anxious to impart this wisdom to me. But because I had a mind and heart of my own, this put me on the outside looking in, for much of my life. We all come to a place where we realize we must make our minds up as to what we will and will not do, how we will think and who we will be. As I have encountered them and their God/gods, I have found my own way through this foggy maze, and discovered a modicum of peace and reconciliation in the process. This is the massive task of all of us, as well as why I needed to lay it out to you, in this lengthy, 2-part book.
Download or read book Living the Waking Dream written by Michael Jean Nystrom-Schut and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-05-23 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRILOGY BOOK THREE includes three books from my thirty-some published and yet-to-be published works. As a writer and philosopher, I am blessed to be writing books as a full-time occupation, knowing that others who would love to do it, dont have the luxury. In my journeys, I dont know if I am getting warmer or colder towards understanding much of anything. For me, lots of the fun of it is in continuing to discover that which we did not know just yesterday. Living the Waking Dream is the title of the book, and it comes to you along with two others, The Inquisition and Bricks in the Wall. All three were written with you (the reader and fellow life-mate) especially in mind. If you struggle sometimes, wondering what is real and what is in the dream-world, then maybe you will like the basic premises behind Living the Waking Dream (Book One). Its a highly personal book, written in memoir style. If you have religious and spiritual questions, and struggle with some of the answers, you might find The Inquisition (Book Two) to be of benefit. It is about a man on trial for his life, defending his spiritual point of view against the religious world-view. Many of us have trouble when it comes to conforming to society to their countless laws and cumbersome rules. Bricks in the Wall addresses three distinct phases of life that millions of us go through. It provides insight into how those processes takes place and can be a real eye-opener for you! I am in high hopes that this three-books-in-one volume will be good reading. On my web site, HowISeeTheWorld.com, I contemplate questions and answers that continue to trouble humans for all these years. Please come and see me at the site!

Book excerpt: Prologue Spring, Colorado, 1981 ONE of the severest winters in North American history exploded in a cataclysm of spring madness: rushing water, melting snow and ice thundered down the Colorado Rocky Mountains rearranging the high country and lowlands beyond recognition. Boulders torn from the warming earth crashed into trees; revised river courses and blocked creeks. Acres of uprooted pine littered the valley floors, glistened in the March sunshine. Yet this insanity had ended swiftly when nature blew away her winter temper and the warm Chinook winds breathed merciful life into the devastation. Stunned, mountain animals moved through the ruins like humans after a bombing raid: mooching ill tempered among the debris they scavenged for food; beavers utilised fallen timber to build underwater lodges away from the grizzly he-bear who lived on Devil Mountain! Named for its twin horned peaks, Devil Mountain was a fourteen thousand feet colossus dominating the wilderness with incomparable magnificence. Situated on the eastern fringe of the Roan Plateau skirting the Arapaho National Forest, it dwarfed everything. Billions of tons of impregnable landmass gouged from the earth’s core before the Ice Age had merged into a vast tangle of rock sweeping savagely to the sky; thrusting from the morass the mammoth devil-horns soared forever upward beyond the clouds. A terrifying presence plagued by the cruellest elements, Devil Mountain was shrouded with superstition of missing men who had ventured too high, was loathed, feared for the he-bear who prowled its awesome spaces. Like his mountain home the grizzly was majestic. Eight hundred pound Titan, he was the supreme power among animals. Eight feet tall on powerful hind legs, his call would fill the big country and meadows below warning of his dominance and perpetual anger. Nor did he like Man, or male lion from the nearby box canyon constantly urged by his mate to reclaim old territory from the he-bear. There had been friction between bear and cats since their arrival four seasons ago. Dismissing his enemies, he hurried along the wind line, the heady pleasure of his old female’s smell strong in his nostrils. She would be with the two cubs. Unlike other males, he loved his family. Above, a female eagle planed over the valley surveying winter’s legacy and land creatures eluding the he-bear. She’d watch awhile before collecting her mate: like the bear, she too had opposition in the box canyon where her mate flew with a new female from the south. Cresting a rise the grizzly bounded into the pine forest tottering on the steep approaches to his mountain. Totally his mountain! Born there, he had lived, loved and hunted through the seasons there, and one day would lie down and rest there. Forever! But today he was jubilant as spring fever arose from the ashes of winter: thawed ice and snow promised an abundance of fish and beaver and tiny the tiny roots he craved, but most of all the return of his mate and cubs. Stopping to fish in the creek dissecting the scrub below the mountain, he became excited at the thought of seeing her and the cubs. He knew they’d come to play here below the big timber and his mountain home. A stiff wind flung their scent. Growling approval he galloped off, his great bulk hurdling nimbly over the fallen pine. Moving to the far edge of the forest where the ground fell sharply into a narrow defile bordering the scrub, he stopped at a familiar odour: Man with his loud instrument of death was stalking his family. Off wind line they would not detect his smell. Climbing a tree, he saw them romping in a fold of the ground farther along the creek. His warning cry was reduced to a moan as they failed to hear. Jumping down he stood on his hind legs, angrily beat his chest with his paws, roar echoing defiantly throughout the valley. Enjoying her offspring his mate never heard. With enormous strides leapt over the defile and bounded towards the fold in the land. Arr

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Aprendiz que Descubrió el gran Secreto. Spanish Edition. The extraordinary story of a young man named Kadmiel, who after beginning the search for the path to fulfill his dreams and find his vocation, makes the radical decision to undertake an adventure that will change his life: He will leave his homeland and to make his way in his new adventure, he will have to cross the harsh desert. Then, on his way, he will have to face the skepticism and doubt of several of those close to him, and overcome a variety of obstacles. Will he succumb to his fears? Will he give in to what his nature dictates? Will he overcome the opinions and prejudices of others? No one knows what he will encounter during his journey, nor if Kadmiel will be able to overcome the obstacles along the way. However, this young man will learn the wise and profound reflections of his teachers, and during his journey he will find much more than he had come to imagine. With this extraordinary and transformative story, the author illustrates, step by step, a new way of approaching life with a wonderful end in mind. Moreover, by meditating on the life of this character, we will be deeply moved to pursue our dreams and find our true calling. Thanks to this story we will no longer revere the limiting chains that place boundaries of expression on our being. We are more than a profession or a trade! In the words of Felipe Chavarro: "When I wrote The Apprentice Who Discovered The Great Secret, I was trying to understand the importance of dreams and a defined vocation. I was also trying to explain to myself the best way to continue pursuing them without losing heart. For this reason, instead of writing an ideological treatise full of concepts and ideas, I decided to go back to my childhood, and talk to the curious and dreamy child I had decided to bury one day. To my great surprise, this child taught me the optics I needed to fulfill my dreams, find my vocation and never give up."Listening to the world's most important people. Listen to the child within you. He knows everything you need to find your vocation. Just that child that exists in your soul alone unfolds with simplicity the nature of God, for it is the seed that proceeds from the creator." Through this story, the author teaches us to: 1. recover adventure, simplicity and the desire to dream in our lives. 2. Reconnect with our inner child. 3. Recover our curiosity and imagination necessary to discover our true vocation. 4. Get rid of skepticism and prejudices.
