This book was released on 2024-08-29 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "theWAY of Divine Energies" is a comprehensive guide to Wayist spirituality and mystical practices, offering transformative techniques for awakening inner peace, harmony, and spiritual wisdom. This book explores the foundational concepts of Wayist ontology, including the three energy domains - Material, Soul, and Spiritual - and how they interweave to form the cosmic tapestry of existence. The book delves into core Wayist practices such as Divine Tarayoga, which cultivates a profound connection with one's personal divine guide. It examines the power of attuning prayer as a tool for self-reflection and self-psychotherapy, emphasizing gratitude and surrender of soul-self to spirit-self. Meditation techniques, including mindfulness and Avalokane, are explored as means of aligning with the divine and expanding spiritual awareness. Another unique feature of Wayist practice, Karman Active Meditation, is presented as a holistic system for body, soul, mind, and spirit maintenance. The book also introduces the concept of mystiception - the direct experience of divine connection - and guides readers through navigating the Mysticeptive Gateway and interpreting mysticeptual insights. Advanced spiritual states such as Theopathy are discussed, including Theopathic Attunement, Resonance, and Communion, representing the heights of mystical experience. The book addresses practical aspects of integrating these practices into daily life, overcoming common challenges, and the importance of spiritual community and support. Key Wayist principles like cultivating simplicity, humbleness, and chrestotes (helpful loving-kindness) are emphasized throughout, along with the importance of embracing authenticity through practices like Udbhu-kanti. The book concludes by tying these concepts back to the Butterfly Path - the Wayist understanding of the soul’s path of spiritual evolution. "theWAY of Divine Energies" serves as both an introduction to Wayist spirituality for newcomers and a deepening of practice for experienced practitioners. It offers a path to personal transformation, inner peace, and spiritual awakening, making it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to explore the depths of mystical experience and align with divine energies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I will destroy you. Druzeel realizes that his actions have opened another path, one of evil and deceit, but the path of righteousness still lies before him. Choosing which one to follow is the difficult part, but one thing is certain - nothing will ever be the same. A tiny seed of virtue still lies inside of him, but as he travels through a city full of sin, hatred, and evil, it gets harder to feel that goodness. He knows it will take only the slightest push to fall into a hole of darkness, so he clings tightly to that shinning light. But the pull of the gloom is strong and when a new figure enters his life and offers him power, it may be impossible to resist. With power comes fear and with that fear comes respect. All he wanted was the respect of his peers and the trust of those he admired. Is this new power enough to give him both? Can it make him into the man he always wanted to be? Or will it turn him into a monster? The power is enchanting, but it comes with a heavy price. If he chooses to ignore those consequences, then there may be no pulling him from a dark descent.

Download or read book Tongue First written by Emily Jenkins and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1998-08-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A smart, humorous exploration of bodily thrills and paranoia from aerobics to acupuncture, strip shows to sensory deprivation. Your perception of your body will change when you read this book. You will be pulling on your boxer shorts or your black lace bra, and suddenly consider why you decorate yourself the way you do. You will shake up your martini, kiss your beloved, read a dirty magazine, go for a jog, and think about what your bodily behavior says about your soul. And what it is doing to your soul. You will notice the defenses you erect for yourself. Perhaps a tube of lipstick. Perhaps an addiction. Testing the boundaries between fear and temptation, Emily Jenkins takes us on a journey from ordinary physical experiences (going to the dentist, putting on stockings) to extreme ones (snorting heroin, shaving her head). She interviews people whose bodies are radically different from hers and enters communities where people share unusual ideas about physicality. Sometimes you will recognize your own habits. Other times you'll be shocked or repulsed. Always you will find yourself questioning the ordinary things you do, rethinking your relationship to your body.
