This title includes exercises at the end of each chapter, providing opportunities for reflection. The Unselfish Spirit is an essential 21st century guide to unlocking the secrets of how we as a race can collectively grow our consciousness to solve the complex web of challenges that threaten life on Earth. Mick Collins identifies how our global crisis is also a spiritual one. Drawing inspiration from cosmology, biology, quantum physics, psychology and occupational science, he suggests that the cultivation of our psycho-spiritual awareness can reveal new vistas, helping us engage in our transformative potential.
Jerry Rubin, co-founder of the Yippie movement and a member of the Chicago Seven, traces his personal odyssey from radical activist of the 60's to a practitioner in the growth potential movements of the 70's-'Working to change in me the things I opposed externally in the streets.' Finding himself categorized by the press as 'erstwhile' and 'aging' at thirty-four and oppressed by his own lack of inner peace, Jerry Rubin turned his energy inward, seeking a self redefinition through various forms of New Consciousness. Growing (Up) at Thirty-Seven is a very personal and candid account of his experiences with est, rolfing, acupuncture and other forms of therapy-a unique journey to self awareness in which he tells of the person he was and the person he has become; how the originator of the slogan 'Kill Your Parents!' finally learned to love his own parents; and how his new personal philosophy relates to his political views. This is a sensitive psychological self-evaluation-a male confessional that lays bare Jerry Rubin's struggle to find himself as a man in the aftermath of the aborted Youth Revolution.
"Never Too Late" is career correspondent and author Roy Rowan's rousing testament to the fact that if you are still in reasonably good health and have a career or set of interests to pursue, your swan-song years can be among your most productive. He shares his views of the pleasures and potentials of old age based on a long life of adventure--from his decades covering wars and revolutions across the globe to the jogging that took him through his eighties and the fishing that fills so many of his days as a nonagenarian. Throughout he weaves in the lessons he has learned along the way and addresses a spectrum of topics, including the subjectivity of the label "old," the importance of optimism, and the fight to maintain independence as the years go by. He also encourages retirees to start a second career or activity, naming the three E's of Enthusiasm, Exertion, and Energy as the keys to pursuing a new passion. "Never Too Late" is one man's stirring reminder that the philosopher Satchel Paige had it right when he asked, "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?"
A unique and validating look at the tension you feel between disillusionment and a desire for truth, Searching for Enough helps you see your doubt not as an emotion to fear but as an invitation to be followed. Do you ever find yourself thinking, "I'm not enough, and I'm never going to be. And I know I'm not supposed to say this, but God's not enough for me either." Whether or not we attend church, deep down we wonder if the biblical story of faith is really enough for the complexity of the world in which we live. We fill our lives with other things, hoping that maybe the next experience or accomplishment will complete us. Yet with every goal we reach, we still feel discouraged and anxious. In Searching for Enough, Pastor Tyler Staton draws on ancient and modern insights to introduce us, as if for the first time, to Jesus' disciple Thomas: history's most notorious skeptic. Like Thomas, we are caught between two unsatisfying stories: We want to believe in God but can't reconcile his presence with our circumstances and internal struggles. But what if there's a better story than shame? What if there's redemption so complete that there's nothing left to hide? What if there is a God who can heal your resentments, fears, and loneliness in such a profound way that you feel whole? From a place of spiritual companionship and deep authenticity, Tyler shows us that it is not an empty tomb that will change our lives, but the presence of the living God. Whether you are a distant skeptic, an involved doubter, or a busy but bored Christian, Searching for Enough invites you to find enough in a God who offers the only promises that never disappoint.

Die tema van |Die ring| is die balans tussen die manlike en vroulike eienskappe in elke mens. Ons patriargale samelewing berus op 'n foutiewe aanname, glo die skrywer. Die manlike element is nie belangriker as die vroulike nie. Ten einde voluit te lewe, is 'n balans of eenwording tussen 'n individu se manlikheid en vroulikheid nodig.
At a young age I discovered that there was more to myself and life beyond the facade that we could see. Since then I’ve been journeying both outward and inward uncovering insights that could help us better our lives and life itself. In this book I share these insights in the most simplistic form to assist the reader with overcoming challenges, finding their true selves and awaken to their true purpose for being alive. These guidelines herein allow people to awaken in many ways, including spiritually. Awakening doesn’t always include euphoric enlightenment, but could simply be learning something about ourselves and life that we didn’t know or see before. This book serves as a simple guide to awaken to truths that could assist the reader with living an amazing life and connecting deeply with themselves and the world.
A bold new vision for optimizing our health now and in the future. What if depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, dementia, cancer and many other health conditions that torture and shorten our lives actually have the same root cause? Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions - and feel incredible today - is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function - the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this groundbreaking book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our physical and mental wellbeing. If you are battling minor signals of “bad energy” inside your body, it is often a warning sign that more life-threatening illness may emerge later in life. But here’s the good news: for the first time ever, we can monitor our metabolic health in great detail and learn how to improve it ourselves. Weaving together cutting-edge research and personal stories, as well as groundbreaking data from the health technology company Dr. Means founded, Good Energy offers an essential four-week plan and explains:
Good Energy offers a new, cutting-edge understanding of the true cause of illness that until now has remained hidden. It will help you optimize your ability to live well and stay well at every age.
"True skepticism has nothing to do with disbelief," says Susan
Blackmore. "It is about taking people's claims seriously and trying
to understand them." As a starry-eyed student, Blackmore was
convinced of the reality of astral planes, telepathy, and life
after death. She was determined to devote her life to
parapsychology, but what she found wasn't what she had bargained
for. None of her cleverly devised experiments revealed a hint of
the psi she was seeking. In a determined effort to find it somehow,
she tested young children in play groups, trained students in
imagery and altered states of consciousness, and even put Tarot
cards to the test. She visited haunted houses and was regressed to
a "past life." Finally, accused of being a "psi-inhibitory
experimenter" with the power of abolishing paranormal effects, she
visited other, more successful, experimenters. Here she found only
errors in their experiments.
The Book of Changes, or I-Ching, is the primary reference work for advanced Armabella. While any version of the Book of Changes can be used, the commentaries in most are, at best, unhelpful and, at worst, misleading for the purposes of Armabella practice since they lean towards divination and philosophy, rather than the heavy focus on direct, real-time practical application that lies at the heart of Armabella. This is Armabella's own commentary-free version of the book, and has significantly better and more extensive cross referencing, as well as using Armabella's standard naming conventions for the Trigrams and Hexagrams, the unique SCRE classification system, and providing easy-access references for 21s in situ for all entries. This book is not suitable for beginners.
Restoring Africa’s Spiritual Identity, authored by African Hidden Voices and inspired by the revelations of Inkosi Yomoya Imboni Dr. Uzwi-Lezwe Radebe, delivers a powerful critique of the spiritual displacement caused by colonialism and religious imposition. The book reveals how the forced introduction of foreign religions severed Africa’s access to the masculine energy—the upward spiritual dimensions—disconnecting the continent from its highest spiritual authority and divine guidance. African Hidden Voices argues that African Indigenous Spirituality (AIS), once centered on direct knowledge through revelations, was systematically replaced by belief-based systems that undermined Africa’s spiritual sovereignty. This disconnection resulted in the erosion of indigenous institutions that once guided African societies. The book also seeks to illuminate the role played by African Initiated Churches (AICs) in asserting their attempts to merge Christianity with African practices. They failed to restore the continent’s true spiritual identity, as they remained bound by the very religious frameworks that displaced them. Politics through the rise of Pan Africanism also failed to restore Africa to its authentic spirituality as it was fused with religious dogmas. Restoring Africa’s Spiritual Identity calls for a return to authentic spiritual institutions, guided by the revelations of genuine spiritual guiders, to reclaim Africa's spiritual sovereignty. It presents a scholarly and visionary blueprint for restoring the continent’s cosmic balance and reconnecting with its original spiritual essence.
