Download or read book The Order of Light written by Wesley Rowlette and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-10-12 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world was not as it used to be. The population had divided itself into those who live during the day and those who run the streets at night. Inhaling deeply, Jacob Featherstone felt the dense night air fill his lungs and pulse through his body. The Order of Light frowned upon people who came out in the power of Night. They claimed that Darkness, and the power drawn from it, was a lesser power than that of Light. The Dark was easier to use and pushed harder and faster, but supposedly the Light would outlast, and would have more power in the long run. And, unlike the power of Darkness, the Light isn't addicting... Jake couldn't argue with them about the addicting part. But was the Light really more powerful? What would happen if he learned to harness both powers within himself? At a turning point in his life when Jake was about to leave the comforts of his family home to become a man, would his desire to embrace both Light and Dark make him more powerful, or would it tear him apart?

Download or read book Liquid Light written by G. William Barnard and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-07 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Santo Daime is a syncretic religion that arose in the Amazon region of Brazil in the middle of the twentieth century and now has churches throughout the world. Its spiritual practice is based around the sacramental use of ayahuasca, a psychedelic brew consumed only within regular ceremonies. In Liquid Light, G. William Barnard—an initiate of the religion and a scholar of religious studies—considers the religious practice and transformative inner experiences of the Santo Daime community. Immersing readers in his own journeys into nonordinary states of consciousness, Barnard provides a vivid as well as introspective depiction of the dramatic ritual and visionary worlds that a practitioner of this tradition encounters. He combines striking first-person accounts of the ritual life of the Santo Daime with accessible examinations of the psychological and philosophical significance of mystical states and mediumship. Bridging insider and outsider perspectives on religious experience, Barnard demonstrates how the Santo Daime offers its practitioners a transformative and profoundly illuminating spiritual path. Liquid Light also reflects on the broader implications of psychedelics, arguing that entheogenic religions can shed light on a wide range of key philosophical questions concerning consciousness, selfhood, and reality.

Book excerpt: “I am most grateful for two things: that I was born in North Korea, and that I escaped from North Korea.” - Yeonmi Park "One of the most harrowing stories I have ever heard - and one of the most inspiring." - The Bookseller “Park's remarkable and inspiring story shines a light on a country whose inhabitants live in misery beyond comprehension. Park's important memoir showcases the strength of the human spirit and one young woman's incredible determination to never be hungry again.” —Publishers Weekly In In Order to Live, Yeonmi Park shines a light not just into the darkest corners of life in North Korea, describing the deprivation and deception she endured and which millions of North Korean people continue to endure to this day, but also onto her own most painful and difficult memories. She tells with bravery and dignity for the first time the story of how she and her mother were betrayed and sold into sexual slavery in China and forced to suffer terrible psychological and physical hardship before they finally made their way to Seoul, South Korea—and to freedom. Park confronts her past with a startling resilience. In spite of everything, she has never stopped being proud of where she is from, and never stopped striving for a better life. Indeed, today she is a human rights activist working determinedly to bring attention to the oppression taking place in her home country. Park’s testimony is heartbreaking and unimaginable, but never without hope. This is the human spirit at its most indomitable.
