Book excerpt: Some people lead because of their position, while others have an innate ability to inspire action regardless of the most adverse conditions. However, a universal disconnect remains - current leadership practices are exclusively focused on how the leader interacts with their people, not the people's ultimate output.A Light in the Darkness supports everyone to both lead and develop at their own pace; harnessing each individual's unique capacity while mitigating ineffective learned behaviors. Rather than a "How To" book, we challenge the reader to usher in a new era of leadership, bespoke in nature.A Light in the Darkness introduces practices that were initially found to work in the life or death situations afforded by 20 years of Military Service. We're excited to find that they work equally well from the boardroom to the classroom.

Download or read book Time for Transformation written by Margarete van den Brink and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2008-10-08 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an "interesting" era. In Dickens's words, it is "the best of times," it is "the worst of times." On the one hand, we encounter increasing violence and lack of conscience in the world, while on the other, we see many becoming increasingly aware and spiritually oriented. The great traditions of East and West--ancient Egyptian, Mayan, Hindu, and Christian--foretold that our time would become a critical period of transition, from materialistic preoccupation to a more spiritual focus. Esoteric teaching tells us that, in this period of transition, we will be confronted by the problem of good and evil and, consequently, by growing fear, insecurity, and violence in both society and in our own souls. Such phenomena are part of our unique time and announce the birth of a new era--socially, culturally, and inwardly. It all points to the single fact that now is the time for transformation. In this brief, life-changing book, the authors show how we can develop during this critical period of transition, moving through the darkness to the light by breaking the spell of evil. Time for Transformation offers guidance, wisdom, and encouragement in this essential in for our changing times. C O N T E N T S: Introduction 1. The Negative Forces at Work in Our Society 2.

Download or read book Darkness Visible written by Ross Heaven and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2005-11-16 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to examine the spiritual and therapeutic practice of retreat in physical darkness to explore inner light • Shows how experiencing complete darkness over prolonged periods helps in developing mental clarity and creativity • Draws upon many indigenous and spiritual traditions that use this technique The use of ceremonial darkness is a classic and cross-cultural method for exploring hidden aspects of unconscious and super-conscious states, accessing invisible landscapes, and embracing the deeper recesses of the self. In Darkness Visible Heaven and Buxton examine the spiritual and therapeutic practice of taking retreat in physical darkness. For millennia mystics and sages have used darkness as a spiritual tool for breaking with their pasts, prior conditioning, and the limited reality of their societies. Spiritual seekers from many traditions--Celtic, Eastern, indigenous North and South American, Tibetan, and African--have used darkness as a tool for spiritual enlightenment. Heaven and Buxton show how experiencing complete darkness, even for only a period of hours, brings about a remarkable clarity and mental stillness and thus provides a springboard for creativity, intuition, and spiritual development. They include exercises that explore lucid levels of dream consciousness, drawing both from their experience as teachers of this method and from the many cultures that include this practice in their spiritual traditions. Darkness Visible shows how deprivation of sight can truly teach us to see.

Book excerpt: Find comfort in dark times and grow your trust and faith in God with this inspiring and insightful guide from Lakewood Church pastor and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joel Osteen. All of us will go through dark times that we don't understand: a difficulty with a friend, an unfair situation at work, a financial setback, an unexpected illness, a divorce, or the loss of a loved one. Those types of experiences are part of the human journey. But when we find ourselves in such a place, it's important that we keep a positive perspective. Joel Osteen writes that if we stay in faith and keep a good attitude when we go through challenges, we will not only grow, but we will see how all things work together for our good. Through practical applications and scriptural insight, Blessed in the Darkness focuses on how to draw closer to God and trust Him when life doesn't make sense. If we will go through the dark place in the valley trusting, believing, and knowing that God is still in control, we will come to the table that is already prepared for us, where our cup runs over.
Download or read book SantoSaint written by Santos J. Hernandez Jr. and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evil prowls twenty-four-seven, waiting for that one opportunity to sneak in or weasel its way into your mind while encouraging you to embrace fear, lies, hate, division, despair, and all things miserable. It wreaks havoc and fools you into believing the lies it peddles to the lowest bidder. Resisting evil is all about choices; the problem is that most are unaware of the influences being employed to draw you towards choices that will profoundly affect your lives. This is such a tale. Santos Hernandez's spirit was enlightened and his life was changed when Aro, a self-proclaimed atheist, delivered a seed of truth from God, unbeknownst to him, which profoundly altered the course of Hernandez's life. A new person, a strong faith, and all the more reason for evil to attack harder, while Hernandez's guardian angel works to influence him to seek a righteous path.

Family members had joined the group before she did. Her hunger for approval from a father figure completed her fall into the control of a seemingly kind and charismatic cult leader who turned into an abusive tyrant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have often felt that Books III and IV of Spenser's Faerie Queene were loosely, almost carelessly, structured. Thomas P.

Originally published in 1964. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

Download or read book Let There Be Light in Darkness written by Asif Shakoor and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laughter is the light that seeps into the darkest moment of our lives. It is the only wisdom that brings us closer to our human nature. Let There Be Light In Darkness is a culmination of twenty-five years of reflection on meaningful existence and seeking simplicity in truth and purpose. The sole purpose in writing poetry is to awaken the conscious mind and to let the human spirit live in the wholeness of reality. As a physician, I have used poetry to heal the ailing soul by using a holistic and integrative approach to medicine. Words have the power to move the masses and change perception of reality so that humanity can strive toward greater good. Truth can only be known once we shed light into darkness and come out of our shadowy existence fully formed. Let There Be Light In Darkness is my way of looking deep into life’s finite existence and walking toward my end with every moment of my beginning.
