Download or read book Musings and Messages from the Heart II written by Hymon T. Johnson, Ed.d. and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume of Musings and Messages From the Heart is more diverse, ambitious, and (hopefully) more illuminating than Volume I. Included are selected writings from 1990 to 2014, comprised of poetic reflections, efforts at Haiku, a public talk reflective of Paramahansa Yogananda's Christian teachings - delivered in 1978, and four commemorative addresses on Rosa Parks, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the 60th Anniversary of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, and the 20th Anniversary of the establishment of the Multicultural Center at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Also included is a brief talk delivered at an interfaith event on Pilgrimages, with a focus on Hinduism, and a short story entitled, Master Yu that was inspired by one of a different title that I read in the early 1970's, forgot about, and then recalled many years later. In 1985 I took my second solo trip to India to visit Sathya Sai Baba at his ashram in Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh. This astonishing visit of 9 days was filled with staggering experiences day in and day out. It marked a pivotal episode in my life that continues to deeply impact me. His all-embracing Vedic teachings on One God, One Humanity, the essential unity of faiths, and the variety of ways that humankind can reach its final, preordained destiny of spiritual union with the One Divine is evident in several of the verses and narratives. This Volume will likely be challenging for those who may be single-minded on one stream of wisdom and who are unappreciative of the Ocean from which all waters emerge. I have often remarked that "all rivers flow with the same H2O." Divinity is One, not two. And thus no matter the Name or Preceptor we may focus on or prefer - all good, this One is omnipresent throughout all of creation, seen and unseen, directly experienced or not. In this author's view, our common task as human beings is to accept all as expressions and manifestations of this unfathomable Unity, and learn to love all and serve all, notwithstanding any thought or 'lean' to the contrary.

Most apparent paradoxes resolve themselves with careful study and research. I love the old book, it is my God, speaking to me. Oh, there are love stories that would make a romance novelist author blush and tales of extra-terrestrials that surpass the fiction of television and movie space travel. There are also truths about how to enjoy life and how to live it to the fullest. I've spent many years in the book and I hope to spend more. For forty years I've studied the end days and what we are to expect in the future! A short course in what heaven is like and the condition of today's churches is included in this book. Warning, not all churches will be automatically represented in heaven. When I was born, there were less than two billion people on this earth, now, there are more than seven billion. The earth can't hold many more. Despite wars, that kill many, and crop failures the population growth soars. The earth's population is soon to peak. Soon, the end will come.

In 1477, Botticelli is suddenly fired by his prestigious patron and friend Lorenzo de’ Medici. In the villa of his irritating new patron, the artist’s creative well runs dry—until the day he sees Floriana, a Jewish weaver imprisoned in his sister’s convent. But events threaten to keep his unlikely muse out of reach. So begins a tale of one of the art world’s most beloved paintings, La Primavera, as Sandro, a confirmed bachelor, and Floriana, a headstrong artist in her own right, enter into a turbulent relationship.

Download or read book Abstract Musings written by Judith Lahaie and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract Musings is a collection of poetical verse where honest feelings are unveiled as disclosed from the imagination of the author. Inspiring works are, offered, inviting open-mindedness as repetitive messages, flow, exposing truth of life where not all is pure and wonderful. Very often rhythmic words combine to form haunting images, revealing belief that everything is mystically possible, yet, sometimes horribly insufferable. Much of this poetry reflects ideals inciting fate as reality on a journey through designated vistas. Many show that, moments of fear obliterate hope, telling we must offer heart-felt prayers to GOD asking to, be shown a new path to our destined eternity. Throughout this book faith is, revealed as uppermost always, testifying to our Creator's power over HIS scientific domain. Existence and illusion intertwined invariably by love or loss are recurring themes explored intuitively in, these writings. Two of Judith's newest poems, "Castles of Sand" and "Crystal Beaches", are examples of the author's passionate cries voicing inequality for mankind, with greed totally violating harmonious guardianship of our Earth. They were, penned mid 2010 after the devastation caused to the world by corrupt governments, big banks, and big corporations (particularly BP) was, realized. Abstract Musings correlates social and moral conscience, deigned through thought and vision by a questing soul, displayed lyrically within the pages of this volume.

Download or read book Musings from an Old Wooden Bridge written by MJ Gaylor and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-08-08 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today’s world, musing is a lost art that desperately needs to be rediscovered. Contrary to popular belief, we don’t run farther when we run faster. A full daily planner that leaves little time for thoughtful reflection, leads to an empty, unfulfilled life. A packed schedule sets aside one of the great purposes of life, to exercise the mind and stoke the creative spark within. We need to muse and muse often. In Musings from an Old Wooden Bridge, author MJ Gaylor offers a collection of random musings, complemented with Scripture, Bible stories, and personal experiences. The lead story, “Life Cycles,” expresses the importance of transitioning from one phase of life to the next, both as a Christian and as an individual. Moving successfully through each stage brings us to maturity, which is the goal of our human experience. “The Impossible Made Easy,” emphasizes the ease of the Christian life in contrast to how difficult we sometimes make it. Borrowing a phrase from baseball great Honus Wagner, Gaylor surmises that there’s not a lot to being a Christian, if you are one. The selection “Loved by God,” explores the love that God has for each of us. It is only when we receive His love that we begin to love ourselves. Treasuring ourselves as creations of God is the first step in loving others. Insightful and introspective, Musings from an Old Wooden Bridge encourages the reader to think deeply concerning the true meaning of life.

Download or read book 99 Musings of a Dogeared Pilgrim written by John Cox and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 99 Musings is for men and women who desire to know God and follow Jesus with authenticity and integrity. The first disciples were far from perfect, and yet God called them, loved them, equipped them, picked them up when they struggled, and blessed them. As was true for them so it is possible for us today. The Musings seek to inspire, encourage, sometimes challenge, and, most importantly, remind the reader of God’s faithfulness, even when circumstance don’t make sense. Written in contemporary language, each Musing is relevant and easily applied to today’s world. This is not a book of spiritual idealism and abstraction but rather a work that tries to make sense of the teachings of Jesus, the promises of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit. It is about a kind and loving God who is a Father. He wants to walk alongside us in our lives with his presence and power. He delights in us where we are, and he is not interested in our being perfect, trying harder, keeping rules, or performing. His focus is on friendship and relationship from which all else flows—and that is the heart of these Musings.
