A scathingly funny, wildly erotic and fiercely imaginative story
about food, sex and god from the Women's Prize longlisted author of
The Pisces A STYLIST, INDEPENDENT, THE WEEK AND RED HIGHLIGHT FOR
2021 'Sexy and fun and a little weird ... This riot of carnal
pleasure will make you laugh as well as gasp' The Times 'A
revelation ... Melissa Broder has produced one of the strangest and
sexiest novels of the new year ... Exhilarating' Entertainment
Weekly 'A luscious, heartbreaking story of self-discovery through
the relentless pursuit of desire. I couldn't get enough of this
devastating and extremely sexy book' Carmen Maria Machado, author
of Her Body and Other Parties Rachel is twenty-four, a lapsed Jew
who has made calorie restriction her religion. By day, she
maintains an illusion of control by way of obsessive food rituals.
At night, she pedals nowhere on the elliptical machine. Then Rachel
meets Miriam, a young Orthodox Jewish woman intent upon feeding
her. Rachel is suddenly and powerfully entranced by Miriam - by her
sundaes and her body, her faith and her family - and as the two
grow closer, Rachel embarks on a journey marked by mirrors,
mysticism, mothers, milk, and honey. Pairing superlative emotional
insight with unabashed vivid fantasy, Melissa Broder tells a tale
of appetites: of physical hunger, of sexual desire, of spiritual
longing. Milk Fed is a tender and riotously funny meditation on
love, certitude, and the question of what we are all being fed,
from one of our major writers on the psyche - both sacred and
profane.

It is said the greatest love is that which exists between a student
and his spiritual teacher. In a bond through study, their hearts
and consciousness are awakened. As these two souls travel on a path
toward convergence, they carry the lineage of previous masters and
ignite the way for future generations of students. This book is a
rare glimpse of the relationship between Kabbalist Rav Brandwein
and his beloved student Rav Berg, the present leader of the
Kabbalah Centre. These 60 letters provide deep insights into the
loving spiritual lessons taught by Rav Brandwein. As their
involvement goes beyond spiritual studies to all aspects of the
practical material world, we discover Rav Brandwein was connected
with Rav Berg with all his soul and might. The letters are
presented without the filter of interpretation, allowing readers to
leave with answers -- and more questions -- and a yearning for
greater wisdom.
A precious treasure of lost Lemurian wisdom is found in the forest.
It is a book, clad in worn white deerskin, and within on pages of
bark is inscribed a mysterious and glowing script. It is written in
the language of the Elven Ones, who so long ago vanished from our
world. SILVER WHEEL is an exquisite mandala of wisdom teachings
from the Elven realms of Lemuria, that declares the Golden Dawn of
a New Earth. It announces the return of the Shining Ones, and
guides us into their ancient knowledge, their harmony with the
earth and stars. ELEN ELENNA received these teachings during her
years of shamanic training in the forests of Wales. These beautiful
teachings offer navigational tools for the New Earth. They activate
our own otherworldly gifts and memories, and our intuitive grace of
connection to the elemental and star realms.

"The guides, when they come, should bring great feelings of love.
This is the true indication that a high guide is present; there are
few else...The guides can only come in the space between two
thoughts - in that space between the in-breath and the out-breath,
that space that is the quiet pool or reservoir of the deep wisdom
within." - IAM IAM represents the wisdom in each of us, and is a
true teacher and friend. Written from a whole-brain perspective,
The Space Between Two Thoughts is profound and accessible to
individuals of all faiths and paths. With humor and compassion,
this text weaves over 70 healing transmissions with commentary,
dialogue, and easy to use Armchair Enlightenment exercises,
demonstrating that the spiritual and material planes are not
separate. What people are saying about IAM: "IAM's advice and
exercises have been very useful for my personal growth and mental
well-being." "IAM has made me realize that there truly is a higher
power, and it cares very much about every aspect of our lives, no
matter how small." "IAM tells us things about ourselves that are
really helpful and transformative in a way that no one else would
know. It gives us the clues or guideposts to help us transform and
evolve." A realization that I gained from IAM was the importance of
each person, each animal, every plant, every action, every moment.
We are all interconnected."

This is a true story with no embellishments whatsoever about a
woman coming out of the Occult and its bondages into the immense
glory of a Risen, Resurrected Lord. She had been involved in
astrology and could easily make selection of what your Zodiac
(Divining Angel) is by a mere short conversation. When coming to
the Lord Jesus Christ, Anna believed her life would be so very
quiet and simple, until one day after much darkness physically
overpowered her, the Holy Spirit spoke: The Powers of Darkness have
arrayed themselves in battle against you." Anna was in for the time
of her life and God's Holy Spirit teaches her how to war in and for
His Kingdom. Take this journey with Anna as the difference between
True and Truth are defined throughout these pages. The 'Two Bibles'
are clearly demonstrated to reveal what is 'Divining Lies against
Diving Truth'.

Ren Gunon (1886-1951) was one of the great luminaries of the
twentieth century, whose critique of the modern world has stood
fast against the shifting sands of intellectual fashion. His
extensive writings, now finally available in English, are a
providential treasure-trove for the modern seeker: while pointing
ceaselessly to the perennial wisdom found in past cultures ranging
from the Shamanistic to the Indian and Chinese, the Hellenic and
Judaic, the Christian and Islamic, and including also Alchemy,
Hermeticism, and other esoteric currents, they direct the reader
also to the deepest level of religious praxis, emphasizing the need
for affiliation with a revealed tradition even while acknowledging
the final identity of all spiritual paths as they approach the
summit of spiritual realization. Studies in Freemasonry and the
Compagnonnage is both an attempt to rediscover the lost roots of
Masonry and a fascinating look into the many controversies swirling
around the subject of Masonry in serious intellectual circles
during the first half of the twentieth century. It must also be
classed, along with Symbols of Sacred Science, Spiritual Authority
and Temporal Power, Traditional Forms and Cosmic Cycles, The
Esoterism of Dante, Insights into Christian Esoterism and Insights
into Islamic Esoterism and Taoism-not to mention related sections
in many of his other books-as one of Ren Gunon's masterful
excursions into esoteric myth, symbolism, and secret history.
Freemasonry may indeed be, as Gunon ultimately concluded, a largely
degenerated and thus no longer strictly 'operative' offshoot of a
true initiatory lineage; yet its symbolism, like that of the
original Rosicrucians, remains profound, traditional, and therefore
ultimately legitimate. And given that the 'Spirit bloweth where it
listeth', it is always possible that symbolism of this order may
awaken in a receptive soul intimations of the Truth and the Way,
which can be of inestimable of value in 'the path to the Path', the
quest for a living initiatory spirituality.
Annie grew up in a big, supportive family. She grew up happy and
confident with a strong faith in God. The darker side of the world
was never shown to her as a child, and as she grew into a bright
young woman, the darker side continued to remain hidden from her
view. When she earned a job at a nursing home, Annie felt lucky.
What a blessing to have a job that allowed her to help others on a
day to day basis
But soon, things went wrong at her new job. Suicides became
rampant among Annie s coworkers - women who had previously seemed
joyful and at peace. What could possibly cause such emotionally
stable women to take their own lives? When Annie meets her boss,
Benson, she begins to suspect he s behind it especially when she is
sexually harassed by this man who was supposed to be a guiding
force at The Lake View Hospital.
Annie soon learns of the darkness in the world. She learns that
bullying is not confined to playgrounds and schools; bullying
happens to adults, too, especially in the guise of sexual
harassment. Annie will not let Benson ruin her faith in the
goodness of people. With God s help, Annie will recover the lost
souls ruined by suicide. She will show them the light and save
herself in the process.
