Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her poetry collection, The Healing Leaf, author Pamela Moorehead expresses her life experiences through a search for words with healing value. Her poetry explores interests in humanitys internal struggles, including humans abilities to tell the truth, let go of poisonous attitudes and emotions, and learn to listen to their intuitive voices. In poems like Murder in the First and The Wheels Go Around, Moorehead invokes strong feelings and philosophies about living an open life that seek to inspire the need to think, write, reflect, and meditate. There are moments when attitudes and emotions, whether positive or negative, bring freedom, like a caterpillar shedding its cocoon to become a beautiful butterfly; Mooreheads poetry is driven by the need to reveal these life-altering, energizing moments. Better Understanding There is a strain in my heart for humanity We speak with our tongues as how view insanity Turn around and the actions are not noble gestures Violence sex drugs and alcohol are our pleasures Somehow mankind cannot get it together Now I cannot say that I am perfect The things I learned as a child in our time Was truly worth it If we have become honest about loving And living Bullying from every perpetrator would disintegrate into nothing

Download or read book History of Coca written by W. Golden Mortimer and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1901, the following description comes from the first edition: This work, although of a scientific nature, has not been written exclusively for scientists, for the theme is of so universal a scope as to be worthy the attention of all who are concerned in lessening the trials of humanity, or who which to shape the necessities of life through a more useful and consequently a more happy being. Centuries before the introduction of cocaine to anaesthetic uses, the world had been amazed by accounts of the energy creating properties ascribed to a plant intimately associated with the rites and customs of the ancient Peruvians, and first made known through the chroniclers of Spanish conquest in America. The history of this plant, known as Coca, is the history of the Incan race and is entwined throughout the associations of the vast socialistic Empire of those early people of Peru. The characteristics and botanical peculiarities of Coca, and the economic uses of plants of the family to which it belongs are described, and an effort is made to harmonize the early uses of the substance -- which are now shown to been of necessity, and not of luxury -- with its present employment, through facts of modern physiology. No effort has been made to make this work in any sense a book of Coca therapy, but a study of the early necessities and the hypothesis here advanced as to the rationale of its empirical uses will doubtless be ample to impress the true status of Coca, and will suggest its application in the affairs of modern life for conditions similar to those which originally demanded.

Download or read book Fresh Banana Leaves written by Jessica Hernandez, Ph.D. and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Indigenous environmental scientist breaks down why western conservationism isn't working--and offers Indigenous models informed by case studies, personal stories, and family histories that center the voices of Latin American women and land protectors. Despite the undeniable fact that Indigenous communities are among the most affected by climate devastation, Indigenous science is nowhere to be found in mainstream environmental policy or discourse. And while holistic land, water, and forest management practices born from millennia of Indigenous knowledge systems have much to teach all of us, Indigenous science has long been ignored, otherized, or perceived as "soft"--the product of a systematic, centuries-long campaign of racism, colonialism, extractive capitalism, and delegitimization. Here, Jessica Hernandez--Maya Ch'orti' and Zapotec environmental scientist and founder of environmental agency Piña Soul--introduces and contextualizes Indigenous environmental knowledge and proposes a vision of land stewardship that heals rather than displaces, that generates rather than destroys. She breaks down the failures of western-defined conservatism and shares alternatives, citing the restoration work of urban Indigenous people in Seattle; her family's fight against ecoterrorism in Latin America; and holistic land management approaches of Indigenous groups across the continent. Through case studies, historical overviews, and stories that center the voices and lived experiences of Indigenous Latin American women and land protectors, Hernandez makes the case that if we're to recover the health of our planet--for everyone--we need to stop the eco-colonialism ravaging Indigenous lands and restore our relationship with Earth to one of harmony and respect.

Book excerpt: I'm going to start by creating a basis for what God is referring to when he says, "Sound the Alarm." We are to be the Lord's Watchmen, and God is bringing us up to do so. We were having meetings at the park in Litchfield, IL over the summer when God spoke to our ministry, "Revival Waves of Glory," and told us that we were to be watchmen for the Lord. We are to be those who stand and watch in the Spirit, seeing and hearing the truth. We are to take a stand on behalf of the United States of America. The true red, white, and blue would seep through those who serve as true Lord's watchmen. God is preparing the ministry to be like these godly men and women. I'm telling you, we didn't sure what to do with it at the time, so we placed it on the shelf until December 31st, 2012, when we published a Word of the Lord for 2013. God told us He wanted to hold a Sound the Alarm Conference, and He provided us the dates of February 23rd-25th, 2013. This was predicted, and we are following God's instructions. The meeting took place in the midst of an eight-month Revival at Waves of Revival in Belleville, Illinois. It's important for you to understand that it's not about us; it's about accomplishing what we need to do. This is a critical hour, and we must grasp the concept of a Watchman. God will also have me speak about Gatekeepers. God said there was a gate over this region that was being unlatched and opened. One thing I'd like you to realize is that we need gatekeepers as well. To put it another way, we must keep an eye on what is going on in Heaven, since not only does good arrive and leave from Heaven, but evil also comes and departs from the second Heaven. We must recognize that there have been events in America that the Church has simply ignored. We've merely given it a wink. We haven't taken a firm stance. There has been some picketing by Christians, to be sure. They'll stand out on the street with a placard, claiming that something is wrong here and there. But how many people realize that we need to do more than hold a picket sign? I'm not talking about setting fire to people's barns. We aren't dealing with flesh and blood. We're dealing with high-ranking principalities, powers, and wickedness. I'm not going out with picket signs after today, and I'm not going to do this or that. What I'm going to do is assume authority and declare that there will be a supernatural taking hold of the Church rising up and banding together in this hour. Putting aside trivial things and nitpicking things that are simply getting in the way when it comes to the Church. To realize that no matter what denomination you belong to, we can all come together and pray for the same goal: the safety of our country. That is the United States of America's safety.

Book excerpt: Four diamonds—the Stone of Fire, the Stone of Water, the Stone of Air, and the Stone of Earth—have all been stolen. Their absence could lead to the mass destruction of Iliana’s dimension and the mortal world. Can Iliana alter the dangerous path of the world’s most certain future? Fifteen-year-old Iliana’s to-do list did not include being sucked into another dimension called Airafia with a guy named Stephon. When she’s asked to go on a mission with him to save the four diamonds, she isn’t sure what to do. Does she want fire to dance across her fingertips? And what is this heated tension she feels between her and her rescuer, Jayden? It seems like everyone in Airafia has a secret, and even though she isn’t sure that she wants to, Iliana is about to discover everything. She and Stephon are the chosen ones to save one of the most powerful items in Airafia—The Stone of Fire. Will they succeed? The first book in the Secrets series is a ride through dimensions where intense battles that secure the well-being of the mortal world rage on. Unbeknownst to some, they are all too real for others like Iliana.

Download or read book The Way of the Wise written by J.T. Sibley and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-11-12 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, we worry about Mad Cow Disease, AIDS, Alzheimers, and other prolonged-onset ailments. But back in the “good old days”, folks worried about infected cuts and slashes, internal diseases, parasites, and a whole variety of ailments which are perfectly treatable or preventable by means of modern medicine. Folks rarely lived long enough to suffer from a long, slow disease; heck, just staying alive to see one’s fortieth birthday was considered a feat. Even as late as the 19th century, medicine was pretty medieval to our way of looking at it. There were no wonder drugs, no X-ray or CAT scans, no hospitals as we know them today, and spotty training of medical professionals. The dentist was feared, and quack nostrums were sold by the case by traveling snake-oil salesmen. Many of those nostrums contained relatively innocuous ingredients, but some were downright dangerous, especially those incorporating psychoactive alkaloids, heavy metals or raw isotopes. Mercury or radium were primary ingredients in some quack medicinal “cures” even into the early 20th century. And in rural areas, the old “magic medicine” was still practiced by generations of folks who passed on these traditions and lore to their students and/or children. Much of the material presented in this volume has already been documented and published in the Norwegian language by scholars and folklorists, such as Ingjald Reichborn-Kjennerud, Nils Lid, Hjalmar Falk, Olav Bø, O.A. Høeg, Per Holck, Odd Nordland, Chr. Bang, and A. Steen, among others. There has been a growing interest in folklore, folk medicine, and the “old ways” in recent years, and this volume is an attempt to present a part of this lore to the English-speaking audience.

Download or read book Whose Gospel written by James A. Forbes and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2010-01-12 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passionate call to justice from the man Newsweek calls “one of the twelve most effective preachers in the English-speaking world.” In Whose Gospel?, one of America’s greatest living preachers offers a compelling vision of progressive social change. Known as “the preacher’s preacher,” Dr. James A. Forbes Jr. has tirelessly advocated progressive views on the crucial issues of our time—from poverty, war, and women’s equality to racial justice, sexuality, and the environment. Long a powerful voice for progressive Protestants, Forbes draws on a record of political commitment ranging from the civil rights movement to his stirring address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, in addition to his eighteen years at the helm of New York City’s historic Riverside Church. Reflecting on insights of his years as a pastor, a teacher, and an adviser to political leaders, this inspiring manifesto “for the healing of the nations” epitomizes the best thinking of one of the country’s foremost religious leaders. Published with a foreword by longtime Riverside Church member Bill Moyers, Whose Gospel? is a pithy and insightful introduction to Forbes’s thought and a welcome source of inspiration in this era of hope and change. “Forbes . . . looks back over his life as a pastor and a black man to make a strong connection between the gospels of Christian faith and life as lived in a dynamic and changing world . . . [He] intersperses passages from the Bible with his experiences to offer a full and compelling look at making faith and humane ideals real in the lives of church members and the nation.” —Booklist
