This is the second of a series of textbooks on the astrology of the new dwarf planets, based on the research at the Dwarf Planet University. Probably the most valuable section is the house interpretations, looking at how Makemake manifests in our daily lives with example case studies. There is also a workbook to locate and on-board this new energy in your chart. And a section introducing each of the dwarf planets to put Makemake in context. Many astrologers believe that new planets are discovered when we are ready to incorporate the new consciousness represented by that planet into our existing consciousness. We've noticed this with the discovery of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto over the last two hundred years, and now with the discovery of ten more planets we're entering a period of rapid consciousness development.When our consciousness is focussed on the inner planets, everything that is important is our feelings, our ideas and values, our agency and the luck and material rewards that these bring us. "You can't take it with you, right?" And at this level we tend not to be conscious of the action of the outer planets in our lives.The inner planets represent aspects of personality, while the outer planets represent aspects of consciousness. As each new outer planet is discovered, it represents a new aspect of consciousness that is becoming available to us. The discovery of Uranus brought us intuitive consciousness, the discovery of Neptune, spiritual consciousness, and the discovery of Pluto, psychological consciousness.So, the discovery of Makemake represents a new aspect of consciousness that we can now uncover in ourselves. Put simply, Makemake takes the intuitive understanding of Uranus and turns it into a rich contextual understanding, into a wisdom or a cosmic consciousness. However, this new consciousness doesn't kick in automatically, rather we must actively incorporate it into our lives.And because these outer planets talk of consciousness, how they manifest in our lives depends on our current level of consciousness. Most people on the planet experience the outer planets as unconscious influences, where these esoteric new energies are only perceived when, like Pluto, they barge into our lives in a confrontational way, because we haven't been sensitive and adaptable in the lead up. As we develop spiritually, however, and consciously on-board these new energies into our lives, they become like guides into new territory, offering us special skills or challenges, depending on the aspects in our chart. At this level, rather than unconscious influences, the outer planets become like a new super-consciousness.

Tyisha is a young lady who suffers far too much at an early age. Her color, her place of birth, the unseemly acts of her grandfather and the rejection of others cause her to see little hope in the future. As a young teacher in training, she learns her supervising teacher has suffered as well and has not been hardened by the experience. She tells Tyisha about a God who loves her and wants to make her whole and Tyisha is changed by the salvation of this God who gave His life for her. Along the way, she discovers other truths such as prejudice is not geographic, that God has chosen our mates before the foundation of the world was laid, and He can form us into what He wants us to be. No matter the circumstance, there is always HOPE.Brent Garzelli was born a poor boy on a cattle farm in southern Missouri. He did not see much hope for the future of farming, so he excelled in high school, college, and seminary. Some of the story of Tyisha is his story-especially the change the Lord made in her life is reflective of the change made in his own. He has been an ordained minister since 1979 and sees writing books as his ministry now.Cheryl Garzelli was born on the headwaters of the Rio Grande River in southern Colorado. She is the daughter of a former Warrant Officer in the United States Army and had no particular faith in God as a child. Her life of faith is a miracle and is the pattern used to show the transition in Tyisha's life from one of hopelessness to one of seeking and doing the will of God. Brent and Cheryl have been married for over 47 years.

"Nacho Vergara nos presenta un texto poderoso para el lector que busca despertar, ampliar su comprensión y su experiencia interna del Ser que Jesús nos reveló en sus enseñanzas. El autor destila en estas páginas toda una gnosis, producto de su vida personal, de su práctica profesional como psicoterapeuta y de su incansable búsqueda en muy diversas tradiciones espirituales. Nos señala cómo la apertura del corazón al misterio, la conciencia profunda de la oración encarnada y la comprensión prístina de los mecanismos del ilusorio ego son condiciones necesarias para entrar en resonancia con la sabiduría del Padrenuestro y las Bienaventuranzas que nos legó el Jesús de la tradición aramea. Como bien lo indica el autor, este escrito es realmente una práctica, va al corazón, no a la cabeza. Es una invitación a la vida."Gustavo Lara"Después de trasegar como seminarista, psiquiatra, antipsiquiatra, biodanzante y practicante de danzas sagradas, ahora el Dr. Nacho Vergara nos comparte aquí su sabiduría sobre el mensaje de Jesús. El efecto que produce este texto es una ineludible fascinación por aventurar las profundidades del alma desde una perspectiva holística y espiritual. Aunque suene a lugar común, este es un libro para mantener en la mesa de noche y consultar con la frecuencia que el corazón llame. Es una obra cumbre de la literatura espiritual, fruto del trabajo riguroso y sentido de quien es terapeuta y maestro y aquí nos devela sus dos rostros en el camino hacia la expansión de conciencia."Adriana Giraldo, periodista

Questo libro colma un vuoto nell'ambito della copiosa letteratura dedicata al grande maestro armeno G.I. Gurdjieff, sia per quanto riguarda le origini del suo insegnamento, sia in relazione a due degli strumenti più preziosi della Quarta Via: l'Enneagramma e la Tavola degli Idrogeni. Il pensiero di Gurdjieff è costituito soprattutto dall'Alchimia e dal Cristianesimo Esoterico che oggi può chiaramente essere definito con il termine GNOSI. In questo libro scopriremo passo passo come Gnosi, Alchimia e Quarta Via siano diverse espressioni di una medesima conoscenza situata nell'alveo della Tradizione Iniziatica Occidentale e verranno svelate le chiavi nascoste della trasformazione interiore, nonché diversi aspetti inesplorati della scienza segreta.Il libro è corredato dalle splendide immagini curate da Franca Ferrario.Altri libri dell'autore:Viaggio nella GnosiManuale di Quarta ViaDialoghi con un'iniziata

The practice of 'mindfulness' has moved from its roots in psychological therapy into the mainstream of today's popular culture, where it is marketed as a path to health and wellbeing. A mental exercise that takes a few minutes a day seems like an easy fix to life's problems, the perfect antidote to the frantic pace of our lives.But does mindfulness work, and if so, how? Is it backed by scientific evidence? And given its links to Buddhist thought, can therapeutic mindfulness be practised in ways that are consistent with a Christian worldview?In Christ-Centred Mindfulness, academic and experienced mental health worker Katherine Thompson addresses these questions and highlights mindfulness-related practices that have been used within the church for hundreds of years - practices that help us slow down, connect to what is happening inside ourselves and make space to listen for God's guidance in everyday life. Dr Thompson draws on this rich tradition to present Christian mindfulness exercises that can be used to enrich our prayer lives, help us to draw near to God and grow in Christlikeness.Whether you're a Christian who is curious about mindfulness practice and its benefits, or you work in a counselling profession and are trying to sort through your own approach to mindfulness-based therapies, this book is for you.

Millions of people in recent years have been captivated by the mystery and beauty of a 4,000-year-old geometric form called the "labyrinth." They have walked, prayed, meditated, and participated in rituals on the labyrinth's winding path as it guides them with certainty into the center. Labyrinths are located in schools, prisons, hospitals, parks, and churches. They have become a unifying symbol and a ritual structure attracting people from a broad spectrum of religions and spiritual pursuits, making the labyrinth a window through which to view the growing trend of religious diversity. This book examines how the labyrinth is emerging around the world as an arena for ritual that is unbounded by the structures, rules, and limitations that often accompany religious traditions. The labyrinth belongs to no one religion, has no single leader, no absolute ritual, and no authoritative text. By examining the labyrinth's ancient classical and Christian history and describing its diverse contemporary rituals we can discover the importance of ritual as a means of engaging with a sacred cosmos.

Gabriella Tomasetto è nata a Vicenza nel 1960. Dopo la separazione nel 1996 inizia un percorso introspettivo e nel novembre del 1999 scopre di essere capace di far tacere la propria mente per ricevere telepaticamente dei contenuti da un'altra dimensione. Il 25 dicembre dello stesso anno inizia a ricevere dei libri di evoluzione spirituale. Evoluzione che la porta a riconoscersi nell'anima e a mettere in pratica la realizzazione dell'anima stessa. Senza alcuna titubanza si dedica completamente all'ascolto per dare nuovamente voce all'anima del figlio risorto per permettergli di spiegare il suo vero Messaggio Messianico che duemila anni fa non riuscì a tramandare. In Dialoghi con mia Madre 3 viene raccontato che attraverso l'ipnosi regressiva, Gabriella ha il risveglio di una memoria karmica. Nel capitolo La preveggenza viene spiegata la drammaticità della vita di Maria negli anni di predicazione del figlio. Il Padre all'inizio di tale periodo, annebbia la psiche di Maria facendole avere la preveggenza della fine di suo figlio. Questo per donare piena libertà al Messia di attuare tutto quello che aveva deciso di fare per farsi ricordare. Maria durante la preveggenza bestemmia Dio ed è proprio la vergogna per non aver avuto fede, la memoria karmica che, attraverso il suo risveglio, ha permesso a Gabriella di scrivere altre sfaccettature della vita del figlio.

Can you look at a life with its twists and turns and predict the outcome of that life? Many people; including teachers, psychologists, and other professionals believe that circumstances determine outcomes; that broken lives are the automatic consequence of poverty, divorce, discrimination, abuse, or a myriad of other factors. This is often true, but every now and then something happens; God intervenes, and circumstances become stepping stones. As one who has lived it, I know that circumstances don't define, but enable and fortify; and can be used to declare the awesome power of a loving God in the life of His child. This story is true. I am a living testimony of the power of God.Iona Hollins graduated from Hayti (Negro) Central High School as Valedictorian in May 1959.

The battle lines are drawn the moment we pledge our allegiance to our advocate. We have an adversary who is, as 1Peter 5:8 warns, "seeking to devour us." This is not something for us to fear, but to be mindful of. An advocate actively favors or fights for one who meets opposition.In John 14-18. Jesus tells His disciples He will send another Helper to them when He returns to the Father.

This broad-ranging study, the first full-length investigation of conceptions of faith and trust in the Judeo-Arabic tradition, explores a family of related concepts?faith (iman, emunah), conviction (i'tiqād), and trust/reliance (tawakkul/ittikal)?in Saadya, Ba?ya, Halevi, Maimonides, Abraham Maimonides, and the Egyptian pietist circle of Abraham he-?asid. The work points to a rich spectrum of conceptions of faith and trust?from the purely cognitive to the experiential and affective. What emerges are themes of faithfulness, loyalty, experiential certainty, and trustworthiness, expressed in devotion to a way of life that embodies these ideals. The virtue of trust expresses steadfast commitment to the truth.This study vividly illustrates the ?Jewish-Arab symbiosis,? highlighting the shared spiritual language and rich, intertwined worlds of Islamic and Jewish philosophy, theology, and mysticism.

About the BookIf It Wasn't For GOD, I Would Have No Sanity is a Christian-based autobiography chronicling the emotional struggles of the author, growing up feeling neglected by her family and having no one close to turn to. Despite being at her lowest, despite contemplating suicide several times, it was God entering her life that allowed the author to raise her kids through her difficult life. She believes God gives His battles to the strong, and the author is a firm believer in "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." God was there for her when she couldn't be for herself or her children. Her story is not just inspirational but marked by God to be revealed. There are others out there who experienced similar difficult paths in life but never had a voice. The author prays this book opens doors for them because it's knowledge, and a lot of people are still on that path of life as a victim. Kinds says, "I want people to see that through it all, God was there and He's there for them as well."About the AuthorLaWanda Gray Kinds is the mother of four beautiful girls and one handsome boy. While many women her age may have certain perspectives on life, hers is quite remarkable. Kinds feels there's a lot of thoughts to life and some can be suicidal. As for her, she's come too close to that very thought in life, but God! God helped her to realize suicide was not the answer. In fact it was the worst answer to believe in because in the end, it would have been hell for her when she lifted her eyes. God also told her to look to Him, so with that she often questioned the life she was given. Believing at times that God wasn't there, that He had left her to fight her battles alone, but then He spoke to her at a very young age. He came into her life and He never left her, even when she felt he should have. Kinds says, "I came very close to losing my mind a few times in life, but God! It is because of Him I have my sanity, so the true experiences I'm about to share may be a little disturbing or uneasy to some readers, but just imagine...you may be reading it, but I actually lived it! Glory be to God, I'm here!"
