Download or read book The Soul of Activism written by Shmuly Yanklowitz and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Soul of Activism, author and activist Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz, gives a unique re-examination of the power of interfaith spirituality to fuel the fires of progressive activism. 'Religion' in the public sphere has been claimed by far-right ideologues while progressives, turned off by the hypocrisy of the religious influence on contemporary policy, have lost out on the experience of religious community. As a result, progressives are losing control of political discourse because they neither grasp nor trust the universal and invigorating language and practice of religion when expressed productively for social justice. Progressive activists must find these missing spiritual tools, cultivate compassion, and lead affirmative change in their communities.

If you're frustrated because no politician or 'leader' actually has solutions which can ever make life better, you also need this book. The knowledge it contains won't just give you hope, it will show you proven ways to create a new, sustainable, 21st century life!The AlterQuest Blueprint is literally bursting with ideas which have been tried and used successfully in communities all over the world in order to build thriving economies, increase employment and make housing, universal healthcare, education, food, water and electricity available for everyone. Read inspirational stories about towns which have already overcome many of the issues you now face. Learn how their citizens have put exciting new concepts into practice - and see how this has totally transformed the lives of the people who live there. For the first time ever, you'll realize that there truly is a new way to structure our existence - one which can be implemented easily and can take over from the flawed, crumbling old system - but it isn't run by old men in suits who are far removed from you and your community, instead it's actually put in place by the people, for the people! Unlike those who only talk about fixing the system but never actually achieve anything, the methods in The AlterQuest Blueprint really truly work and are already being used to create a better world. Once you've read this book you will never want to go back to the old way of living because we can create the future and we can start right now!Be inspired by the stories of towns such as Ithaca, New York, or Bristol, UK, where they've made their own currency and boosted employment, or take a look at Ungersheim in France, which has become a thriving Transition Town, where the people make democratic decisions to include things such as Fair Trade and the use of renewable green energy.

If we can't rely on them, we must really start to ask "Who can we rely on?" and the answer is "We must do it ourselves!" This book affirms that we're stronger together than we are alone. If we work alongside our neighbors and our entire community, we have the power to create a sustainable system of living which can be carried forward into the 21st century and beyond. We are all souls, having a human experience and we absolutely have the right and the might, to create the best possible world for all of us to live on.The AlterQuest Blueprint teaches you how.

Download or read book Selected Short Works of Khalil Gibran written by Khalil Gibran and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your Lebanon is an arena for men from the West and men from the East. My Lebanon is a flock of birds fluttering in the early morning as shepherds lead their sheep into the meadows and rising in the evening as farmers return from their fields and vineyards. You have your Lebanon and its people. I have my Lebanon and its people. Yours are those whose souls were born in the hospitals of the West; they are as a ship without rudder or sail upon a raging sea . . . . They are strong and eloquent among themselves but weak and dumb among Europeans. They are brave, the liberators and the reformers, but only in their own area. But they are the cowards, always led backward by the Europeans. They are those who croak like frogs boasting that they have rid themselves of their ancient, tyrannical enemy, but the truth of the matter is that this tyrannical enemy still hides within their own souls. They are the slaves for whom time had exchanged rusty chains for shiny ones so that they thought themselves free. These are the children of your Lebanon. Is there anyone among them who represents the strength of the towering rocks of Lebanon, the purity of its water or the fragrance of its air? Who among them vouchsafes to say, "When I die I leave my country little better than when I was born?"

Download or read book The New Frontier and Sand and Foam written by Khalil Gibran and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are in the Middle East today two challenging ideas: old and new. The old ideas will vanish because they are weak and exhausted. There is in the Middle East an awakening that defies slumber. This awakening will conquer because the sun is its leader and the dawn is its army. In the fields of the Middle East, which have been a large burial ground, stand the youth of Spring calling the occupants of the sepulchers to rise and march toward the new frontiers. When the Spring sings its hymns the dead of the winter rise, shed their shrouds and march forward. There is on the horizon of the Middle East a new awakening; it is growing and expanding; it is reaching and engulfing all sensitive, intelligent souls; it is penetrating and gaining all the sympathy of noble hearts. The Middle East, today, has two masters. One is deciding, ordering, being obeyed; but he is at the point of death. But the other one is silent in his conformity to law and order, calmly awaiting justice; he is a powerful giant who knows his own strength, confident in his existence and a believer in his destiny. There are today, in the Middle East, two men: one of the past and one of the future. Which one are you? Come close, let me look at you and let me be assured by your appearance and your conduct if you are one of those coming into the light or going into the darkness.

Download or read book Habib Tanvir written by Anjum Katyal and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 2012-10-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anjum Katyal's work is the first comprehensive study on the life and contribution of Habib Tanvir to Indian theatre history. A playwright, director, actor, journalist and critic, Tanvir is perhaps best known for the play Charandas Chor. However, his real significance in the history of post-Independence Indian theatre is that he signposted an important path for the development of modern theatre. His productions with Naya Theatre using Chhattisgarhi folk actors established how one could do modern theatre integrated with age-old-yet equally contemporary-folk culture on a basis of equality. Habib Tanvir: Towards an Inclusive Theatre explores various important aspects of Tanvir's theatre philosophy and practice as he experimented with both content and form. Starting with his early life and work, Katyal charts his professional trajectory from Agra Bazaar to Gaon Ka Naam Sasural, when he was searching for his true form, to Charandas Chor, which portrayed the eventual maturing of his style, and beyond, to cover his entire oeuvre.
