We were given life to love God and others. Born in nature and to
a lost world with a determined enemy, few ever learn how to love.
Be still. Know Him who is love and wants to become love in you.
Living is a passage in time through a sea of relationships
without a map. Storms of confusion and conflict throw us off
course. Most will be lost in the sea. We cannot find our way alone.
The Word of God, the abiding Jesus and the Holy Spirit are with us
every moment, revealing and guiding us to love the way God
does.
By way of allegory, a metaphor about wild Maine blueberries, a
testimony and essay, the essential form of God's love is
illuminated in A Prophecy of Love to encourage and inspire you.
Partake of His greatest blessing and become a light for Him in your
life.
This title presents Orage's commentaries on 'Beelzebub's Tales to
his Grandson', which are an essential part of the Fourth Way
literature. They demonstrate a way of approaching and understanding
a work that Orage considered to be literature of the highest kind.
When doctors discovered a mass in Sherry Ward's kidney, they could
not say whether it was malignant. Apprehensive about radical
surgery and concerned by their uncertainty, she turned elsewhere.
Armed with information from five psychics, she went against the
medical odds. When the psychics proved correct, Ward's interest in
psychic work intensified.
Seekers of the Soul is the result of Ward's inquisitive journey
into the world of psychics, visionaries, and intuitives who gain
information using more than the traditional senses. Here Ward
presents detailed profiles of seven individuals with exceptional
abilities to sense and translate what to others is "not there."
After interviewing numerous psychics, Ward chose the most
principled, unique and skillful among them for Seekers of the Soul.
Each person profiled uses his or her gifts to provide seekers with
spiritual insight, emotional wisdom, or perhaps a connection to a
loved-one who has crossed over. Although each psychic or intuitive
divines his or her information differently, their clients benefit
from the guidance, finding information relevant to their lives.
For all who are intrigued by the extra-sensory realm and want
to know how to take your soul to its highest potential, you'll find
Ward's research and engaging profiles replete with insight and
meaning.
When a new highway forces a North Carolina church to relocate
its cemetery, a century-old mystery of major significance to its
Cherokee neighbors is also unearthed.
Now both communities must work together as the high price of
progress tears through sacred land. The church enlists their
Cherokee neighbors to assist with the relocation efforts, and the
crew makes a startling discovery. The resulting investigation
uncovers important information about the residents' past and
creates an unexpected link across history in the stories of Cistoo
and Lokie, two young Cherokee women.
Cistoo, born in 1790, had a dream. Not even the loss of her
parents when she was a child and tribal shunning could stop her
from becoming the first female shaman of her nation. Lokie, a
contemporary Native American teen, likens the so-called progress to
the dislocation of her people by the American colonists. These two
young women from different centuries each come of age in the
pursuit of shamanism and social justice.
Can the answers to the modern graveyard mystery include
redemption for both women?
Rituals are among the most powerful tools we have to create meaning
and cultivate wellbeing in our lives. In Rituals for Life, you can
learn to live a more intentional life, enriched by your connection
with nature. The book explores the essential components of ritual
and how to use them to bring happiness and inner peace into your
every day life. Includes instructions for twenty rituals, some for
every day and others for specific moments and occasions, that you
can adapt for your own needs, as well as an exploration of the
roots and purposes of ritual. Beautifully illustrated by Luisa
Rivera, this inspiring book is a guide more authentic and soulful
way of living.
AÂ 15th-century grimoire, or book of magic, that includes
instructions on how an individual can make contact with their Holy
Guardian Angel. Although the instructions may seem quite simple,
few have managed to complete the operation – even the highly
experienced occultist Aleister Crowley failed to do so. Over
a six-month period in 1977, Ramsey Dukes attempted this Abramelin
operation. The challenge was to adapt the ritual to twentieth
century conditions, and The Abramelin Diaries is his record of the
struggle and the outcome. Looking forward, the book offers
practical advice for anyone wanting to attempt this notorious
operation themselves. Looking back, the author comments on the
operation’s legacy: what happened after, how it changed – and
continues to impact – him and his life. Is spiritual retirement
still relevant today? Or is it just nostalgia for a simpler, more
meaningful lifestyle? Why does technological empowerment threaten
our sense of purpose? Many intriguing questions are raised as we
read of one man’s struggle to shape a simple, significant
lifestyle routine from the chaos of normality.
How does the soul relate to the body? Through the ages, innumerable
religious and intellectual movements have proposed answers to this
question. Many have gravitated to the notion of the "subtle body,"
positing some sort of subtle entity that is neither soul nor body,
but some mixture of the two. Simon Cox traces the history of this
idea from the late Roman Empire to the present day, touching on how
philosophers, wizards, scholars, occultists, psychologists, and
mystics have engaged with the idea over the past two thousand
years. This study is an intellectual history of the subtle body
concept from its origins in late antiquity through the Renaissance
into the Euro-American counterculture of the 1960's and 70's. It
begins with a prehistory of the idea, rooted as it is in
third-century Neoplatonism. It then proceeds to the signifier
"subtle body" in its earliest English uses amongst the Cambridge
Platonists. After that, it looks forward to those Orientalist
fathers of Indology, who, in their earliest translations of
Sanskrit philosophy relied heavily on the Cambridge Platonist
lexicon, and thereby brought Indian philosophy into what had
hitherto been a distinctly platonic discourse. At this point, the
story takes a little reflexive stroll into the source of the
author's own interest in this strange concept, looking at Helena
Blavatsky and the Theosophical import, expression, and
popularization of the concept. Cox then zeroes in on Aleister
Crowley, focusing on the subtle body in fin de siecle occultism.
Finally, he turns to Carl Jung, his colleague Frederic Spiegelberg,
and the popularization of the idea of the subtle body in the
Euro-American counterculture. This book is for anyone interested in
yogic, somatic, or energetic practices, and will be very useful to
scholars and area specialists who rely on this term in dealing with
Hindu, Daoist, and Buddhist texts.
