Download or read book The Chronicles of Sekhmet on Olmecra Book 2 written by indigo ptah and published by indigo ptah. This book was released on 2022-09-21 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Ancient Lands of Kemet, Goddess Sekhmet is a Legendary Lioness-Woman. In the chronicles, the famous lioness-woman NTR is tasked with raising the vibrational energies of humans... on a specific part of Earth called Olmecra. And unless there is an elevation in vibrations; Earth will not ascend with the other planets in its galaxy. The Matriarchy of the Kemetic Pantheon and Cosmic Goddesses, are the protagonist of the book; displaying their best nurturing attributes. The story is being told from a divine feminine perspective in a way Goddess Sekhmet is not traditionally typified. For those who study the Ancient Egyptians and/or Kemet; metaphors will develop into myth. And for those who are new to the subject matter; the interaction of the immortals with humans will encourage readers to seek what is seeking them. This novella is unique in that few stories are dedicated to the African Cosmic Pantheon as compared to books popularized by Greek and Roman mythology. Book Two is the second of a series of seven novellas that chronicle how the Goddess Sekhmet assists humans to help Earth ascend. In Book One, three exceptionally conscious women face individual crisis situations. And to the surprise of themselves and their community; they gain the gift to transform into a lioness-woman to balance out their circumstances. Another exceptional woman takes their signal to begin a new purpose quest to assist with Earth's ascension. The main antagonist, status quo of patriarchy; in the form of selfish systematic supremacy; attempts to progress its parasitic programming practices by spreading fear; and eating away at natural energy resources on the planet... and beyond. But the forces of nature get more involved in Earth's evolution. As an exceptional man embraces his animal spirit to provide and protect the path of the lioness-women. Book Two continues the chronicles in Book One with immortal conversations; and early background on how and why Olmecra was formed. The stories may seem controversial to some; but are non-confrontational. And the story-lines are never meant to make accusation of anyone or any group of people. But rather; what is emphasized is the misuse of spirituality; and the decline of the human condition. As the author evolves the chronicles; she hopes the concept of "Personal Agency" is encouraged, so the reader expands their thoughts, on their individual journey; and how their purpose fits in the Universe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus is not white. Jesus is not American. Jesus does not want to make America great. While many of us grew up looking at gleaming portraits of Jesus with blond, flowing hair and hearing sermons reaffirming that we have the answers to save a fallen world, the real Jesusa Middle Eastern Jew preaching radical, humble, self-emptying lovecalls us to a different life. As we see oppression and hate run rampant in our nation, it's as if Christianity has lost sight of the red letters altogether. Sheri Faye Rosendahl takes a look at important social issues in our society, the responses of American Christians, and the true ways behind the red letters. Not Your White Jesus addresses the need to reexamine the true ways of Jesus that we find clearly in the red letters, enabling readers to discover what it truly means to follow the ways of Jesus in contrast to following the ways of the American Christian elite.
Download or read book The History of Here written by Akum Norder and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you buy an old house, you get much more than a house. In all its quirks, its alterations, in fragments of memory and traces left behind, you get a bundle of small mysteries. Who used to live here? Why did they come here, and where did they go? Whose name is that written on the attic wall? When did that odd little bathroom get shoehorned in there, and what did the room look like before? If you're lucky, one or two of your house's mysteries might unfold into stories. Akum Norder was very lucky. The History of Here follows Albany, New York's, Pine Hills neighborhood through more than one hundred years of change. At its heart is the story of Norder's 1912 house and the people who built and lived in it. As Norder traced their histories, she came to see the development of her house, her street, and her neighborhood as a piece of Albany's story. In the lives of its residents, their struggles and triumphs, she saw a reflection of twentieth-century America. Drawing on interviews, city records, newspapers, out-of-print books, and other sources, Norder's narrative makes a case for city neighborhoods: their value, their preservation, and the grassroots involvement that turns a jumble of houses into a community. Funny and thought-provoking, readable and relevant, The History of Here celebrates the sense of place that fuels the new urbanism.
Download or read book On the Way Out Turn Off the Light written by Marge Piercy and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bountiful group of poems--direct, honest, and revelatory--that reflect on language, nature, old age, young love, Judaism, and our current politics, from one of our most read and admired poets "Words are my business," Marge Piercy begins her twentieth collection of poetry, a glance back at a lifetime of learning, loving, grieving, and fighting for the disenfranchised, and a look forward at what the future holds for herself, her family and friends, and her embattled country. In the opening section, Piercy tells of her childhood in Detroit, with its vacant lots and scrappy children, the bike that gave her wings, her ambition at fourteen to "gobble" down all knowledge, and a too-early marriage ("I put on my first marriage / like a girdle my skinny body / didn't need"). We then leap into the present, her "twilight zone," where she is "learning to be quiet," learning to give praise despite it all. There are funny poems about medicine ads with their dire warnings, and some possible plusses about being dead: "I'll never do another load of laundry . . ." There is "comfort in old bodies / coming together," in a partner's warmth--"You're always warm: warm hands / smooth back sleek as a Burmese cat./ Sunny weather outside and in." Piercy has long been known for her political poems, and here we have her thoughts on illegal immigrants, dying languages, fraught landscapes, abortion, President-speak. She examines her nonbeliever's need for religious holidays and spiritual depth, and the natural world is appreciated throughout. On the Way Out, Turn Off the Light is yet more proof of Piercy's love and mastery of language--it is moving, stimulating, funny, and full of the stuff of life.

Book excerpt: Nominated for an Edgar Award for Best First Novel! In 19th century Bombay, Captain Jim Agnihotri channels his idol, Sherlock Holmes, in Nev March’s Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of America First Crime Novel Award-winning debut. In 1892, Bombay is the center of British India. Nearby, Captain Jim Agnihotri lies in Poona military hospital recovering from a skirmish on the wild northern frontier, with little to do but re-read the tales of his idol, Sherlock Holmes, and browse the daily papers. The case that catches Captain Jim's attention is being called the crime of the century: Two women fell from the busy university’s clock tower in broad daylight. Moved by Adi, the widower of one of the victims — his certainty that his wife and sister did not commit suicide — Captain Jim approaches the Parsee family and is hired to investigate what happened that terrible afternoon. But in a land of divided loyalties, asking questions is dangerous. Captain Jim's investigation disturbs the shadows that seem to follow the Framji family and triggers an ominous chain of events. And when lively Lady Diana Framji joins the hunt for her sisters’ attackers, Captain Jim’s heart isn’t safe, either. Based on a true story, and set against the vibrant backdrop of colonial India, Nev March's Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of America First Crime Novel Award-winning lyrical debut, Murder in Old Bombay, brings this tumultuous historical age to life.

Download or read book Dreaming Synchronicity written by Lyra Adams and published by Life Garden Publishing In. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you known someone who kept repeating the same situations in their life over and over again? Do you know anyone who cannot seem to break free from their unhealthy patterns? In this book, you will get an in depth look at how this plays out in many lives. Immerse yourself in this mysterious journey of a young empath raised by an abusive mother suffering from personality disorders. Gifted with moments of clairaudience, clairsentience, and intuitive knowing, these paranormal occurrences assist her in escaping kidnapping and sex trafficking. This poignant story reads like fiction, but is vividly real. Many will see pieces of their own life in this writing which examines escaping unhealthy patterns of behavior and reclaiming personal power. Showing the underlying psychology, this is a deeply intimate memoir riveting with strange occurrences and insightful revelations. Prophetic dreams and bizarre synchronicities carve this author's world from a childhood wrought with abuse to a woman who finally finds her true self after many poor decisions and mishaps. This book will leave you more intrigued than ever with dreams and synchronicity, and paying more attention to both. You will be appalled at times and then inspired at the next instant as you turn each page. Peeking inside Lyra's world is illuminating and transforming. Editorial Review: "Many people have unusual dream experiences but hesitate to tell anyone for fear of being considered eccentric at best and pathological at worst. However, Lyra Adams lets it all hang out! She discusses intimate details of both her dream life and her personal life, focusing on those unusual coincidences that Jung (and others) have referred to as "synchronicities." Each chapter of this remarkable book tells a fascinating story, one that is difficult to explain using Western science's concepts of time and space. But Adams also discuses how she has used these anomalous experiences to "break the chains" of the traumas that limited her development. Those chapters hold promise for psychotherapists, counselors, and those in the mental health professions who may encounter clients who report similar experiences. Even those readers who would write off Adams' "synchronicities" as ordinary coincidences will find her frankness admirable, and will discover new ways of exploring the deeper regions of their own psyches."
