This book will teach you how to battle your spiritual struggles from the winning side so that you can be victorious both in your life and in the issues happening in today’s world. Many Christians limp through their lives feeling beat up by the enemy, their circumstances, and internal strife. They look at the pattern of world events with a sense of hopelessness. Too often they simply accept these as the natural trials and challenges of life. However, other Christians acknowledge that there is a war happening, a battle between angels and demons. They want to know: What are the rules of engagement for this battle? What weapons do we have? What kind of enemy are we facing? Is this battle always happening, or are there moments of rest and peace? Am I really meant to fight in a battle where I can’t see my enemies or my allies? Blake Healy has seen angels and demons since he was a small child. In this book readers will discover what Healy has learned about the nature of spiritual warfare after over thirty years of seeing in the spirit.

    But there is also a deeper level of meaning beneath the surface, where psychological processes are represented by the material symbols. The action of turning base metal into gold can be read as an analogy; a road map for self-awareness and self-realization. This has been variously called enlightenment, wholeness, salvation, etc. It is this focus that is emphasized with the qualification: 'Spiritual Alchemy'.The present work is a modern rendering of some of the classic symbols and procedures into a unique working model for use by the contemporary magical practitioner."Working at the intersection of spiritual experience and depth psychology, this book is a practical resource to help you on your Journey back to your Soul.

    She explores monks, mystics, and saints who have experienced the goodness of the Divine in nature and invites you to find solace and spiritual revelation in the wonder of God’s creation.The purpose of contemplative living, Christine Valters Paintner suggests, is to allow you to integrate the pieces of your life within yourself, in your community, and in the world around you.

    In an attempt to decode menstrual practices, the author undertook a journey across India and studied various indigenous knowledge systems such as Ṣaḍ-Darśana, Āyurved, Tantra, Cakra, Yōg, Āgama Śāstra, Jyotiṣa Śāstra, and several sub-texts from these categories. As a result, the book goes beyond just describing cultural practices and takes a deep dive into explaining the scientific and logical reasoning behind the origin of these practices. This book is for all Indian women who have unanswered questions pertaining to menstrual practices, for menstrual researchers who will find a treasure trove of potential areas for research pertaining to menstrual health, for sportswomen to discover the ancient techniques that worked in sync with women’s periods and not against it, and also for the feminist who assumes that cultural practices around menstruation are a taboo that needs to be done away with.The correct understanding of the science behind menstrual practices, as given in this book, will help women prevent menstrual difficulties, develop a positive attitude toward menstruation, and learn to work in sync with nature’s cycles.Ṛtu (pronounced as ruthu) is one of the terms for menstruation in Sanskrit. Vidyā means knowledge. Ṛtu Vidyā is the author’s attempt to bring together various indigenous knowledge systems that provide information about the science of menstruation, which is relevant even to this day.

    This invaluable treasure of the Western philosophical canon has eluded us so far because Schopenhauer's argument has been consistently misunderstood and misrepresented, even at the hands of presumed experts. Hoping to change this situation, Decoding Schopenhauer's Metaphysics, offers a conceptual framework, a decoding key for unlocking the sense of Schopenhauer's metaphysical contentions in a way that renders them mutually consistent. With this key in mind, even those who earlier dismissed Schopenhauer's metaphysics should be able to return to it with fresh eyes and at last grasp its meaning. And for those as yet unacquainted with Schopenhauerian thought, this volume offers a succinct and accessible entry path.

    But these interventions have stripped death of its mystery and mysticism.Taking readers on a journey through history, guided by the mystics, Awakened by Death shows us how our psychological and spiritual relationship to death has changed over time, and helps us to reclaim a healthy engagement with our own mortality. Ultimately, readers will gain a deeper understanding of how facing the fear of death, and embracing rather than eschewing its mysteries, can help us live richer, fuller lives.

    Literary Nonfiction. NIGHT PHILOSOPHY is collected around the figure of the child, the figure of the child not just as a little person under the tutelage of adults, but also the submerged one, who knows, who is without power, who doesn't matter.

Fanny Howe chronicles the weak and persistent, those who never assimilate at the cost of having another group to dominate. She explores transgression and the dynamics of the child as victim in a desensitized era, when victimization is the political zeitgeist.

    After decades of neglect, Colquhoun's unique vision and hermetic life have become an object of great renewed interest, both for artists and for historians of magic. Although her paintings are represented in such major collections as Tate Britain and the National Portrait Gallery, Colquhoun's rejection of both avant-garde and occult orthodoxies resulted in a life of relative obscurity. Her visual and written works have only recently received adequate recognition as a precursor to contemporary experiments in magical autobiography and esoteric feminism. After rejecting the hectic social expectations and magical orthodoxies of London's art and occult scenes, Colquhoun pursued a life of dedicated spiritual and artistic enquiry embodied in her retreat to Cornwall. Genius of the Fern Loved Gully balances engaging biography with art historical erudition and critical insight into the magical systems that underscored her art and writing.

    The blame for this lies with the history and legacy of the Classical tradition. Of his extensive original catalog only a few scientific writings and his famous "Characteres ethici" were preserved, along with a certain number of fragments. As with his mentor, Aristotle, his universal scope of interests provided an important foundation to Theophrastus' alchemical genius. Especially his attention to the natural sciences. Although Theophrastus is a neglected name in the modern field of philosophy, he is well-known in the botanical sciences and is often considered the "father of botany" for his works on plants. He is also the first scholar to have seriously studied tree and wood science and his treatise "On Stones" is considered to be the first methodical study of minerology. Another of Theoprastus' firsts was to manufacture white lead which was used as a pigment and cosmetic. One of his more interesting alchemical experiments lead to his discovery that Mercury “ ... is made by pounding cinnabar with vinegar in a copper mortar with a copper pestle.” According to this unusual recipe, one can make a metal without heat and smelting. He was also the first known writer to mention the pearl and the touchstone. This latter being used to test the quality of gold. Theophrastus was a leading figure of his day in the development of the physical aspects of alchemy and the transformation of base metals. However, his poem on the sacred art, (attributed to have come to us via the hand of the 7th century philosopher Stephanos) is a lengthy symbolic and philosophical treatise on the spiritual development and transformation of the individual.

    Minister. Theologian. Writer. Mystic. Activist. No single label can capture the multiplicity of Howard Thurman’s life, but his influence is evident in the most significant aspects of the civil rights movement. In 1936, he visited Mahatma Gandhi in India and subsequently brought Gandhi’s concept of nonviolent resistance across the globe to the United States. Later, through his book Jesus and the Disinherited, he foresaw a theology of American liberation based on the life of Jesus as a dispossessed Jew under Roman rule. Paul Harvey’s biography of Thurman speaks to the manifold ways this mystic theologian and social activist sought to transform the world to better reflect “that which is God in us,” despite growing up in the South during the ugliest years of Jim Crow. After founding one of the first intentionally interracial churches in the country—the Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples in San Francisco—he shifted into a mentorship role with Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders. He advised them to incorporate more inward seeking and rest into their activism, while also recasting their struggle for racial equality in a more cosmopolitan, universalist manner. As racial justice once again comes to the forefront of American consciousness, Howard Thurman’s faith and life have much to say to a new generation of the disinherited and all those who march alongside them.

    And, sometimes, if you’re open to a little trust, that change can be wonderful.What do you do when you meet a group of people unlike any you have encountered before, when you least expect it? I came here to look at a cabin I inherited from a long lost uncle, figure out how much it’s worth, then put it on the market. Maybe financial gain could perk up my life. The marriage was over, the children had moved out, and questions of, ‘what’s it all about?’ were making my peaceful moments few and far between. But now, everything has changed; I’m keeping the cabin, the beautiful woods and shrouded trails, the morning visits from thankful crows and peaceful bunny rabbits. I’m moving here, giving up my city life and casting my fate to friendly winds. I’ve spread Uncle Hunter’s ashes under a full lit mystic moon, listened to howling huskies pay a chilling tribute, and heard stories of magic dragonflies. A biker gypsy-guru has taken me under her wing and taught me to ride, and she is psychoanalyzing the past right out of me. She’s told me that, ‘If things are happening fast…it’s very much meant to be’. And my intriguing neighbour, he once died on the seafloor off Scotland; saw his own dead body and heard a voice, now he lives his life just the way he wants. This winter, he’s going to help me build kitchen cabinets…and yes, I think I may be in love with him. His best friend astral projects, and his best friend’s wife wants to regress me to lives I’ve lived before, to help me find out who I really am. They all talk about souls and egos and see connections all around - expect good things to happen…and they do. Mysticism and spirituality. Irish monks and hermits. Music, motorcycles and romance. What more could I want? Life is closer; it’s all more real - all more free. Then everything goes wrong, it may even be my fault, but I’m told it’s not. Life has gone wrong before, but this time I have friends. Can I choose to trust? Can I choose…not to be alone?
