Book excerpt: This new history reveals the previously untold story of why and how trains have been used to transport the dead, enabling their burial in a place of significance to the bereaved. Profusely illustrated with many images, some never previously published, Nicolas Wheatley's work details how the mainline railways carried out this important yet often hidden work from the Victorian age to the 1980s, as well as how ceremonial funeral transport continues on heritage railways today. From royalty, aristocrats and other VIPs (including Sir Winston Churchill and the Unknown Warrior) to victims of accidents and ordinary people, Final Journey explores the way in which these people travelled for the last time by train before being laid to rest.
Download or read book Transition The Final Journey written by Stella McMillan and published by Transition. This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transition - The Final Journey - reveals the truth behind our never-ending quest towards full understanding and complete enlightenment. The path of the Spiritual Warrior is as compelling as it is arduous.What happens when we cross-over at the precise moment of our final transition from this current physical life? Where do we go? Do we join a forever-long queue formed by those who have passed through the veil of physical death ahead of us as we wait to be processed? And, what was the purpose of this life that we have endured and enjoyed prior to this moment?There are those who believe that everything turns to black and they exist no longer from that moment onwards. Others accept that a great Master-of-Light will be waiting to greet them on arrival. At the moment when we come face-to-face with True Reality, our current consciousness will determine whether we descend into fear; or, we simply lift the light veil-of-illusion that is separating these two realities.Perhaps, there is another explanation that only the Spiritual Warrior can comprehend? The final transition that Mary underwent in Part One of Transition - The Final Journey - may throw some light on the matter for those who are seeking more understanding and enlightenment than is available currently. Mary watched closely as all of her family members and friends came to the acceptance that Mary existed no longer in physical form on Earth. She could not understand what had happened and why she was surveying everyone from a detached reality while her grieving loved ones were unaware of her presence amongst them. Watching her own funeral from that somewhat-removed vantage point while standing beside her husband and her children was a shattering experience as she witnessed their pain at losing her. In Part One, Mary takes instruction from her Spirit Guide, Gerard, as he tries to explain the process of her physical death to her gently and where she can expect to proceed from that point. Gerard guides Mary in a caring and loving manner as she comes to the realisation that she has left her physical existence of fifty-five years permanently and she has returned to her ongoing spiritual life that is never-ending. He reveals her spiritual name to her. Finally, Gerard takes her to her permanent home in his reality as Mary attempts to come to terms with the enormity of what has occurred to her. Part Two of Transition - The Final Journey - provides a series of Discourses from Onoraus, another Spiritual Guide, who gives a detailed description of life at an earlier time on Earth, namely at the time of the Essenes at Qumran. There are other Discourses and Meditation suggestions from another Spirit Guide, Constella, and these hint at hidden spiritual truths that only the Spiritual Warrior can access from within during meditation. Part Three outlines the Tenets of the LAW OF ONE for those who are prepared to seek a deeper understanding of the reason why we incarnate on Earth. Following these Tenets closely can lead to greater spiritual awareness for the seeker. Part Four of Transition - The Final Journey - provides a Series of Discourses from many Masters-of-Light who have trodden Earth's stage in times long past. The wisdom of their words cannot be denied. These words of wisdom will be questioned by some. Others will embrace these secret and sacred truths fully. Once discovered, the secret and sacred truths cannot be passed on to anyone. Those who discover these hidden truths will know this as fact.The final section of the book outlines our need for self-healing and a detailed method is provided for those who are anxious to proceed beyond the physical aspect of life and to embrace fully this self-healing process for their own benefit. Practised daily, these exercises can assist greatly in overcoming difficulties faced in physical life. An Author's Note at the conclusion of Book Three offers a comprehensive explanation of why we are here at this time in physical embodiment.

Download or read book Smart Decisions written by Thomas N. Martin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's world is complex and getting more so each day. Huge multinational corporations, international crisis and fast breaking events require most people to make decisions on a daily basis without the tools to understand the long term impact that today's decision might create. Because most people have never really been trained in how to make important complex decisions most people rely on experience, and 'gut reaction' which is okay for many decisions, but not okay for decision that will have meaningful impact on organizations and individual. Decision makers need to develop the art and science of strategic decision making. Here, Professor Thomas Martin explains the need for decision makers to modify their thinking about how they deal with acquiring and analyzing information in each of the decision-making process steps. This approach requiring thinking modification will lengthen the process, make it more complex, and to some more arduous, but the comprehensiveness of the new thinking approach should lead to improved and more effective decision making. In this book, Dr. Martin presents a thinking modification framework that asserts that in the decision-making process, there are three situational states — a current state, future state, and a transitional state that one must deliberate in finding a solution. For each of these situational states, Martin develops an identical five-step process to determine the best decision to make. The steps of this process include: • Change-Needing Situational Analysis • Challenge Framing & Causal Analysis • Generating Solution Ideas • Choosing a Solution Set • Implementation and Aftermath Planning This book will appeal to decision makers, leaders, and students of management who want a specific framework that details the process behind making strategic, well-informed decisions.

Download or read book Dying written by Monika Renz and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces a process-based, patient-centered approach to palliative care that substantiates an indication-oriented treatment and radical reconsideration of our transition to death. Drawing on decades of work with terminally ill cancer patients and a trove of research on near-death experiences, Monika Renz encourages practitioners to not only safeguard patients' dignity as they die but also take stock of their verbal, nonverbal, and metaphorical cues as they progress, helping to personalize treatment and realize a more peaceful death. Renz divides dying into three parts: pre-transition, transition, and post-transition. As we die, all egoism and ego-centered perception fall away, bringing us to another state of consciousness, a different register of sensitivity, and an alternative dimension of spiritual connectedness. As patients pass through these stages, they offer nonverbal signals that indicate their gradual withdrawal from everyday consciousness. This transformation explains why emotional and spiritual issues become enhanced during the dying process. Relatives and practitioners are often deeply impressed and feel a sense of awe. Fear and struggle shift to trust and peace; denial melts into acceptance. At first, family problems and the need for reconciliation are urgent, but gradually these concerns fade. By delineating these processes, Renz helps practitioners grow more cognizant of the changing emotions and symptoms of the patients under their care, enabling them to respond with the utmost respect for their patients' dignity.

Download or read book The Soul s Long Journey written by Edward Reaugh Smith and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2003-11 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here are amazing insights showing reincarnation to be deeply and powerfully revealed in the Bible's most fundamental aspects. How and why have these insights escaped attention for so long? At last, they are uncovered here by a confluence of conventional Bible study and the epochal spiritual discoveries of Rudolf Steiner. With particular emphasis on the organic provisions of the Old Testament, Smith shows both what the assumptions of the Master's hearers were and how the New Testament confirms the ancient heritage. Arising from the fullness of the canon is an exciting story of the long journey of humanity and every human soul, each a "beloved sheep" whom the Creator is unwilling to lose. Combining a lifetime of biblical study and teaching, fifteen years investigating and contemplating Rudolf Steiner's vast works, and almost three decades of applying the analytical skill required in an intense law practice, Smith has produced a potential classic the serious Bible student can ill afford to ignore.

Download or read book Rautavaara s Journey in Music written by Barbara Blanchard Hong and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Einojuhani Rautavaara (1928–2016) has been called Finland’s most notable musical export after Sibelius. His prolific output includes eleven operas; eight symphonies; eleven concertos; choral works for the Orthodox, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic churches; secular choral works; chamber music; vocal solos; and keyboard works. Many of these works were commissioned by internationally known performers and ensembles including Vladimir Ashkenazy, Richard Stoltzman, Hilary Hahn, Anne Akiko Meiers, Gerald Finley, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Juilliard School of Music Orchestra. Perhaps most frequently performed are his Cantus Arcticus, a concerto for recorded arctic birds and orchestra, Angel of Light, his seventh symphony, and the Lorca choral suite depicting Death as a stalker in a Spanish village. Rautavaara’s Journey in Music is divided into two sections; the first a biography and discussion of works that show his various style changes, from neoclassical, to twelve-tone, to neoromantic, and finally to a personal expressive style combining elements of twelve-tone and tonality. The second part divides his works by genre and gives more detailed information of stylistic analysis, libretto, provenance, and, often, reception.
