Hvis du googler, hvad en shaman er, så vil du finde, at shaman betyder ’den, som’ ved. I dag anvendes ordet om lidt af hvert, men antropologen Jonathan Horwitzens definition er: ’En shaman er en kvinde eller mand som viljesbestemt ændrer sin bevidsthedstilstand med den hensigt at kontakte eller rejse til en anden virkelighed for at hente kraft og visdom. Når denne opgave er udført, vender shamanen hjem for at bruge kraften og visdommen til at hjælpe sig selv eller andre.’Den moderne shaman er ambassadør og talerør imellem den åndelige, spirituelle virkelighed og den konkrete virkelighed. Den moderne shaman holder styr på og skelner imellem: Hvad ved jeg? Hvad tror jeg på? Hvad er jeg inspireret af? Inspirationen kan godt ligge i højspirituelle og hellige lag, men udfoldes i den praktiske og faktiske virkelighed. Den praktiserende shaman hjælper med at holde styr på bevidstheden og energierne, kommunikerer og arbejder for balance i alle niveauer.Du sidder nu med den første bog i en serie af håndbøger, der indvier dig i et grundlag for moderne ny tids shamanisme.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Relationship Goals . . . Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to live in crazy faith? Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it started raining. It was crazy for Moses to lead a nation of people into the desert away from Egypt . . . until the Red Sea parted. It was crazy to believe that a fourteen-year-old virgin would give birth to the Son of God . . . until Mary held Jesus in her arms. There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely crazy. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith—one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it’s crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals His promises. In Crazy Faith, Pastor Michael Todd shows us how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Even if you have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, you can become empowered to let go of your lazy faith, trust God through your hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith. With powerful stories of modern-day faith warriors who take their cues from biblical heroes, Michael Todd equips you to • believe for the impossible• choose hope over fear• be alert to the voice of God• cope with loss and doubt• develop a deeper level of trust in God• speak faith-filled declarations• inspire crazy faith in others God’s not looking for somebody to give Him all the reasons why His plans can’t happen. He’s looking for somebody to believe they will happen. In fact, He has so much He wants to do through you. The question is, Are you crazy enough to believe it?

"A rare gift: an inspiring tale about trees, trauma and the very purpose of life." -Andrew Nikiforuk, author of Empire of the Beetle Diana Beresford-Kroeger-a world-recognized botanist and medical biochemist-has revolutionized our understanding of the natural world with her startling insights into the hidden life of trees.

To Speak for the Trees uniquely blends the story of Beresford-Kroeger's incredible life and her outstanding achievement as a scientist. It elegantly shows us how forests can not only heal us as people but can also help save the planet.

"Lash is capable of explaining the mind-bending concepts of Gnosticism and pagan mystery cults with bracing clarity and startling insight. . . . [His] arguments are often lively and entertaining."--Los Angeles Times Fully revised and with a new preface by the author, this timely update is perfect for readers of The Immortality Key. Since its initial release to wide acclaim in 2006, Not in His Image has transformed the lives of readers around the world by presenting the living presence of the Wisdom Goddess as never before revealed, illustrating that the truth of an impactful Gnostic message cannot be hidden or destroyed. With clarity, author John Lamb Lash explains how a little-known messianic sect propelled itself into a dominant world power, systematically wiping out the great Gnostic spiritual teachers, the Druid priests, and the shamanistic healers of Europe and North Africa. Early Christians burned libraries and destroyed temples in an attempt to silence the ancient truth-tellers and keep their own secrets. Not in His Image delves deeply into ancient Gnostic writings to reconstruct the story early Christians tried to scrub from the pages of history, exploring the richness of the ancient European Pagan spirituality--the Pagan Mysteries, the Great Goddess, Gnosis, the myths of Sophia and Gaia. In the 15th Anniversary Edition, Lash doubles down on his original argument against redemptive ideology and authoritarian deceit. He shows how the Gnostics clearly foresaw the current program of salvation by syringe, and places the Sophianic vision of life centrally in the battle to expose and oppose the evil agenda of transhumanism, making this well-timed update more relevant than ever. "Sometimes a book changes the world. Not in His Image is such a book. It is clear, stimulating, well-researched, and sure to outrage the experts. . . . Get it. Improve not just your own life, but civilization's chances for survival."--Roger Payne, author of Among Whales

Dan Jones's epic new history tells nothing less than the story of how the world we know today came to be built.

The Dao De Jing (also called the Tao Te Ching) was written more than 2,500 years ago and is considered one of the most important books in world literature. Coming in at only 5,000 Chinese characters, its timeless wisdom has inspired millions of people around the world and serves as one of the cornerstones of the Taoist religion.It has been translated into English many, many times, but this new work by the best-selling writing team of Jeff Pepper and Xiao Hui Wang is much more than a translation. The authors have taken the unusual step of not just giving you the English translation, but also showing, word by word, how one gets from the original Chinese characters to the English version.Each of the 81 short chapters contains a beautiful English translation, followed by a word-by-word and line-by-line breakdown of the chapter, showing the original Chinese, the pinyin (phonetic spelling in English characters), a word-for-word literal translation into English, and occasional helpful notes to help the reader better understand the translation. The result is a book that can be read casually, or studied carefully, or anything in between.This new translation expresses the DDJ in simple language that anyone can access. In their Authors' Notes they say: "This is a book for ordinary people, not scholars. Many DDJ translations have been created by scholars for other scholars, and while we have studied many of them and owe a debt of gratitude to those scholars, we feel that the DDJ's message is simple, practical and universal, and we want everyone to have the chance to benefit from it. We try to follow the guidance of Laozi in Chapter 70, who tells us, in his usual elliptical way: "My words are very easy to understand, very easy to practice. In this world, they can't be understood, and can't be practiced."It's impossible to do a 100% literal translation of the DDJ. Ordinary modern Chinese is quite different from Western languages, and the language used in this book is even more different. To start with, the original DDJ is extremely compact. Its verses have very few connecting words, forcing the reader to think deeply about the verse in order to tease out its underlying meaning or meanings. Some words can, depending on context, serve as nouns, verbs, adjectives or adverbs. Verbs in Chinese generally have no past, present or future tense, nouns have no gender (male/female), and no number (singular/plural). And to make things even more difficult, helpful little words like prepositions and pronouns are often missing entirely. As a result, translating literally from Chinese to English usually results in gibberish. Pepper and Wang have added just enough connecting words so that the sentence makes sense, while still expressing Laozi's thoughts as concisely as possible. They've also tried really hard to avoid the temptation to add things that weren't already there in order to make the sentence more readable.A Pocket Edition of this book is also available. The Pocket Edition contains only the English translation, not the original Chinese or the detailed translation notes. It's only 114 pages vs. 380 pages, and it's a smaller size (5"x8" instead of 6"x9"), making it a better fit for the pants pocket.

For 500 år siden blev den storslåede aztekiske hovedstad, Tenochtitlan, erobret af spanske conquistadorer og deres indianske allierede. Snart efter lå dette drømmesyn af en by i ruiner. I dag ligger Tenochtitlan begravet under Mexico City – som en by under byen og et stærkt vidnesbyrd om Mexicos fascinerende historie.Overalt i det centrale og sydlige Mexico findes ruinbyer, tempelpyramider og paladser med vægmalerier og rige grave fra en lang række af de højt udviklede kulturer, der tilsammen udgjorde den mesoamerikanske civilisation.I Landet under landet rejser vi til syv af de mest berømte og storslåede af disse ruinbyer, herunder Teotihuacan og Palenque. Undervejs fortælles ikke blot historien om fortidens byliv, religionsdyrkelse, krige og vidtstrakte handelsnetværk, men også om nutidens Mexico og mødet med den fascinerende mexicanske geografi og natur krydret med oplevelser fra mange års forskning og feltarbejde.500 års spansk kolonisering har udryddet store dele af den mesoamerikanske kulturtradition, men den findes endnu – hvis man ved, hvor man skal kigge. Bogen fortæller om en stærk indiansk kultur i Mexico og viser, at disse nutidige folks verdensopfattelse og sprog kan være en vej til bedre at forstå den præcolumbianske fortid.

Uddrag af bogen Buddhismen handler om, hvordan vi kan leve og dø på en bedre måde. Lykken findes ikke der, hvor vi har tendenser til at lede efter den, nemlig i den ydre verden. Lykken er hverken knyttet til vores besiddelser, tanker eller følelser, men er sindet iboende. Vi er allerede i besiddelse af, hvad vi leder efter. For at komme i kontakt med denne lykke og vores indre visdom, så må vi først fjerne alle de slør der forhindrer os i at se livet, som det er. Dette kan gøres gennem buddhistiske metoder. som forbedrer vores samspil med andre og gør vores liv mere meningsfyldt. De giver os med andre ord større muligheder for at udfolde sindets rigdomme.
