Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A profound, insightful, extensively researched, sensitive and much needed essay which provides a precious roadmap for traveling together towards a better world" – Mathieu Ricard What would a wisdom-based or “spiritual” approach to politics look like? How can we tap into science to support our collective conscious evolution? In this groundbreaking work, Thomas Legrand Ph.D. proposes to fundamentally reframe our model of development from its current emphasis on “having” to one focused on “being”. Mobilizing a wealth of scientific research from many different fields, the core teachings of wisdom traditions, and his own personal experience, Legrand articulates how politics can support human flourishing and the collective shift of consciousness that our current challenges demand. An awakening journey into our human and social potential, Politics of Being charts the way for a truly human development in the 21st century, one to reconcile our minds and hearts, and the whole Earth community. Decision and policy-makers, scholars, sustainability and spiritual practitioners, social activists and citizens will benefit from: - an integral map of such a politics as it emerges; - concrete examples and recommendations in numerous areas ranging from education to governance, to justice and economy; - a complex question converted into a clear and tangible agenda; - a wealth of references to deepen their exploration; - and much more. A unique, field-defining, work on what may be the most important subject of our times… and history!

Download or read book Word Up written by Alfreda Brown and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Word Up displays the realities in life, depicting the signs of the times through headline events as well as what happens in the home, on the job, or in social gatherings. Life can be a struggle. There are pros and cons in the ways that we deal with what is happening around us and, most importantly, what happens inside of us. Consider the following questions: Are we appropriately handling the challenges that can adversely impact our lives? How can we make good decisions while managing our reaction to bad situations? How can we ensure that we are leaning and depending on something that is greater than ourselves-our connection with God? How can we build our relationship with God to ensure that we are on the right track and have ceased playing guessing games with important areas of our life? Word Up forces you to think with clarity and then gives you an opportunity to do something about your reaction to the bare facts. Word Up helps you to face head on the reality of a situation; it does not allow you to be timid, gloss over it, or just do nothing. Rather, Word Up gives you a choice: do nothing and watch things get worse, or do something and bring the change you want and deserve. Learn how to deal with situations rather than just quoting the Bible as though knowing and doing are the same. Real change in your life requires faith, and faith without action is null and void. Word Up requires action. If you really want transformative change in your life, read a topic that describes your situation and begin to bring the deep change that becomes irreversible in nature, a change that you have only hoped for but have not achieved. There is healing in Word Up as you read the Word of God that is so deeply embedded. Allow God to work with you as you read this life changing analogy.

Download or read book The Answers written by James Smith and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Answers All of Them and No B.S. sounds like a pretty pompous statement, but when you consider it, this book proves that the Bible is the only perfect written composition, consisting of sixty-six books, written by many different men inspired by God, over a period of thousands of years. That proves God is real, using mathematics and fulfilled prophecy; that He is the One Who created heaven and earth; and that there is no such thing as the big bang, which science keeps on trying to sell to everybody (it may be something of an understatement). Not many books offer true, life-changing information as does this one. Open your mind and heart and allow the Lord God Almighty to reveal Himself to you. Become a new person by the power of the blood of Jesus. Go ahead. Open the book. Read it. You'll be glad you did.
