From the 1990s the British developed an interest in
natural burial, also known as woodland, green, or ecological
burial. Natural
burial constitutes part of a long, historical legacy for British
funeral
innovation; from Victorian cemetery monuments and garden cemeteries
through the
birth and rise of cremation to the many things done with cremated
remains. The
book sets natural burial in the context of such creative dealing
with death,
grief, mourning, and the celebration of life. Themes from sociology
and
anthropology combine with psychological issues and theological
ideas to show
how human emotions take shape and help people consider their own
death whilst
also dealing with the death of those they love.
The authors explore the variety of motivations for
people to engage with natural burial and its popular appeal, using
interviews
with people having a relationship with one natural burial site
created by the
Church of England but open to all. They illustrate people's
understandings of
life and death in the sacred, secular and mixed worlds of modern
Britain.
The most important aspect of our existence is that every living
thing is subject to two forms of evolutionary trends. One is
physical, which deals with the investigation of nature by means of
science and technology. The other is spiritual, which requires an
investigation of nature through perceptive power, commonly achieved
through meditative practices.
In "Spiritual Wisdom, author Ramesh Malhotra explores the
evolution of the attainment of spiritual knowledge and inner
tranquility and peace. Through practical examples of how to apply
these spiritual principles to everyday life, he provides insight
into the four tenets of eternal wisdom: mythological wisdom,
inspirational wisdom, transcendental wisdom, and absolute truth. He
provides an overview of the history of spiritual wisdom, the
elements of lower and higher knowledge, and the process of
self-revitalization.
Providing an in-depth investigation and discussion of the
spiritual knowledge and guidance found within the Bhagavad Gita,
Malhotra encourages further exploration of spiritual wisdom and
enlightenment in order to bring peace, tranquility, and happiness
to every life journey.
In "Retha's Song: A Rhapsody of the Soul, "Retha hears her
"God," the sun, speak to her for the first time at the age of
seven. He speaks of a baby boy being born who lived far away from
her and is her beloved. As long as she listens to God's voice and
stays on her path and the young boy stays on his path, with God's
guidance, they will meet.
She strays many times from the voice of God and her path. During
the journey, she is struck with a devastating Bipolar Disorder, and
her young son is diagnosed with Crohn's disease, which nearly took
his life. Her faith began taking new direction, and she began
experiencing phenomenal supernatural events in her life. Her
intuition became increasingly powerful; however, internal,
mind-altering suffering kept plaguing her.
Music, directed by the angels, was the compelling force that was
the interwoven thread that could bring these two souls together, as
they are both singers and songwriters. Could a miracle happen?
This work includes the complete unabridged version with variants of
"The Nine Great Keys", a vital early 17th century manuscript
detailing the invocation of the Archangels and nine Orders of
Angels. The full practical techniques of summoning the Archangels,
details of the hierarchies of spiritual beings, and how the full
Enochian system fits in with the Angelic and Demonic hierarchies
are all covered, as well as the theology and philosophy associated
with Angelic magic, giving the context that these magical
practitioners were working with. It includes the evocation of the
Four Demon Princes and their role within the traditional system of
magic. The book deals clearly with the full continuum of spiritual
creatures from Archangels through Angels to Demon Princes (Fallen
Angels), to Olympic Spirits and Elementals. This is presented in
practical detail, with much rare manuscript material being made
available in print for the first time.
