Download or read book Unopened Letters from God written by Rev Robert L. Haden Jr and published by . This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workbook, for dream groups and individuals, can transform your life. It is for the beginner, but also for those who already know and experience this reality - yet need the support, encouragement and wisdom of the dream community. Each of the 14 Chapters explores a Biblical dream in its own context, suggests a method to work that dream, and shares similar contemporary dreams with exercises leading you to your own dream "ahas." The ancient Hebrews and early Christians claimed that one of the primary ways God speaks to God's people is through dreams: not "a" way, but the "primary" way. Unfortunately, along the way, people were discouraged from taking their dreams seriously. I, too, was a non-believer in the reality of the dream world for 40 years. That was before experiencing a new spirituality for myself, 10 years' dreamwork with a Jungian analyst, attending the C. G. Jung Institute, and completing a Master's program in the use of dreams in spiritual direction. I have recorded hundreds of dreams, integrating dream work with my priestly, spiritual direction and counseling duties. The riches acquired during this incubation period led to the formation of The Haden Institute which has graduated over 500 people in dreamwork and spiritual direction. Dreams are crazy. Real crazy. They appear crazy to us because they are not literal, but rather metaphorical, like Jesus' parables. Metaphor is the primary language of the Divine. Metaphor takes us to a deeper level of awareness. Dreams are autonomous. They are like another personality in us. They have a life of their own. Amazing. Dreams deepen our belief in the afterlife. Many conversions, inventions, healings, vocational and other life changes have come through dreams as well as dangers averted and problems solved. Dreams are particularly meaningful to those who have "been around the block" those in the second half of life who have experienced dead end streets, tragedies, failures, the dark night of the soul. The dream can be our guide through this maze leading us to a place where we begin to live on a deeper level.

"Hey, Mom. Do you think I should join the Army?" "No." But David had a money mindset and a patriotic streak. He figured he could serve his country and get paid to do it.

Download or read book Shared Imagination written by Mary Ann Archer and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using imagination in meditation can connect people to the Divine and to each other and can deepen the spiritual experiences of daily life. Shared Imagination delves into that notion, offering a creative and experiential channel to the Divine and describing the surprising ways this process can blossom in people’s lives. The work centers on personal stories of spiritual encounters as told, with permission, by the women and men who have entered the world of prayerful imagining. These encounters, or “shared imaginations,” arose in a variety of settings: individual and group meditation meetings, recounted dreams, shared spiritual experiences, imaginative conversations with God, letters written to holy people of the past, and some mystical traveling conversations. The stories illustrate the interlacing of an individual’s imagination with that of the Divine. Instructions on how to form and facilitate an imaginative meditation group are interspersed between the stories and detailed in three appendices. Arising from author Mary Ann Archer’s experiences as a professional musician and spiritual director, this collection of personal spiritual narratives presents an exploration of the use of imagination in meditation for a clearer connection with the Divine.

Book excerpt: The promise of Easter and spring is new life: rebirth after death, light after darkness, growth after dormancy, and movement after stillness. In the Christian Church calendar, the season of Lent precedes Easter. It is a time of remembering the anguish, pain, hostility, and death that leads to resurrected life. It is the season for releasing what doesn't work in order to make room for the new to be born. In forty meditations (one for each day of Lent) exploring the symbolic truths of scriptures from The Holy Bible, Jungian Analyst Kathleen Wiley invites you on a journey through the dark, unknown aspects of your self to the larger whole of God Within where you find new life.

Download or read book Birkat Kohanim written by David Birnbaum and published by New Paradigm Matrix. This book was released on 2016-04-03 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the prominence of prayer in traditional Jewish life, it is surprising to note how few prayers the Torah actually ordains be recited by the pious as part of their ongoing effort to foster a relationship with the Divine. Indeed, some of the most famous of all Jewish prayers that do have their origin in Scripture are not presented as liturgical texts in that context at all. (The Shema, for example, the confession of faith par excellence which rabbinic tradition ordains be recited twice daily, appears in the Bible as part of a larger literary unit with no indication that it is intended to be featured prominently in the prayer lives of the faithful.) Other prayer texts are presented in situ as features of an ongoing narrative—for example, the prayer of Damesek Eliezer that he find a wife for his master’s son (Genesis 24:12–14) or Moses’ prayer that Miriam be healed of her skin disease (Numbers 12:13)—have not come to be a part of the fixed Jewish liturgical tradition. And still others, like the prayer ordained for recitation by farmers presenting their first fruits at the sanctuary (Deuteronomy 26:3–10), are presented as liturgical texts to be recited on a specific occasion, but with no hint that they may licitly be recited in circumstances other than the ones specifically ordained by Scripture.

Download or read book God s Faithfulness written by G. Jay Osborne and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God's Faithfulness concerns a young woman who had been raised in an ungodly home by a father who filled her mind with superstition and disbelief in an Almighty God. Belief in God or Jesus Christ was for people who needed a church to hold them up when life became impossible for them to stand on their own. The idea of God or Jesus Christ being anything other than a myth was completely irrational. Her father's hateful attitude and disbelief made their home a hell on earth-a life of turmoil and distress, keeping her from ever having happy thoughts or believing she could find a life of happiness. Cassandra "Cassie" Ann Rollins left the home of an overbearing, abusive father to find true love with James Adam Henderson, a man whom she believed would love her unconditionally forever. In the years that followed, she would realize, apart from God's unconditional love, there is no promise of true love or happiness in life. No person can tell you how they will act in the future without God. James, Cassie, and their three girls could not have been happier for the first few years of their marriage, and then overnight, their world collapsed.

Book excerpt: Focused on a career in medicine and not on romance, Willa Duvall is thrown slightly off course during the summer of 1865 when she discovers a never-opened love letter in a crack of her old writing desk. Compelled to find the passionate soul who penned it and the person who never received it, she takes a job as a nurse at the seaside estate of Crestwicke Manor. Everyone at Crestwicke has feelings--mostly negative ones--about the man who wrote the letter, but he seems to have disappeared. With plenty of enticing clues but few answers, Willa's search becomes even more complicated when she misplaces the letter and it passes from person to person in the house, each finding a thrilling or disheartening message in its words. Laced with mysteries large and small, this romantic Victorian-era tale of love lost, love deferred, and love found is sure to delight.

Book excerpt: This story takes the reader through Jack's life, from his run-in with a dog in his childhood, to the present day. His view of just exactly what it means to be a Christian is truly changed when he loses his second wife to colon cancer. The changes are both dramatic and complete as he realizes that during his life with this woman, he had made her into an idol. He, as well as his wife, had always done the things a Christian did. They attended church, paid their tithe, helped out where they could, and always tried to live like what they thought a Christian should. After his new vision, seeing that he had been "lukewarm" to God, the Holy Spirit came into his life as a guide, and he was able to change the way he lived his life and attempted to put God first in all he did.
