"Grant's particular take here is that recognizing the Fourth Way as an esoteric teaching has critical implications for the practice. Esotericism goes to the heart of the teaching itself. Gurdjieff warned against taking anything literally or on faith, and advised accepting only experience that could be lived oneself. He also said that one has to find out "how to know" and that understanding knowledge of being depends on the "level of being." The aim of the Fourth Way is toward a change of being - from the level of man number one, two, and three to that of man number four. This is, above all, a practical matter. The chapters outline Gurdjieff's early life and view of ancient history, followed by the itinerant course of his teaching from Russia in 1915 to his death in Paris in 1949. The discussion then focuses on his esoteric mission-to bring the Fourth Way to the West-and its three major stages: (i) introducing the system of ideas to and through Ouspensky; (ii) writing his own theory of the teaching, principally in Beelzebub's Tales; and (iii) passing on the practical teaching toward consciousness to and through Jeanne de Salzmann. The last five chapters will deal with Gurdjieff's relationship with his closest pupils, his system of ideas, his hidden doctrine in Beelzebub's Tales, and the practical knowledge revealed by Mme. de Salzmann"--

For over 240 years, for the most part, the American people have enjoyed a certain amount of civility and prosperity in a free society. There is an operation underway to deliberately throw the United States and the nations of the world off the rails spiritually to cause the chaos the world is experiencing today. Why? To usher in a new age of globalism, complete control over everyone and everything, by just a few at the top. This is just the physical manifestation of an underlying spiritual war.This fight carries to a whole other level. In the physical world it plays out as the globalists vs. the non-globalists, the governments vs. the people, one race or group against another race or group-but the ultimate fight is really in the spiritual realm. It boils down to good versus evil.This book was not written to convince you or to change your mind. It was written to unveil the spiritual variable of the equation and show you how it connects to the physical chaos we are living through daily, and to encourage you to simply sift through the media garbage you are fed every day.

A chronicle of a contemplative's mystical journey of finding a God who is as present to us today as he was in the time of Abraham. He is a God who listens, a God who speaks, and a God who heals. Could God be preparing us for the prophetic time that the prophet Joel spoke about when God will pour out his spirit on all humanity? "Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old people shall dream dreams, and your young people will see visions" (Joel 3:1-3).This author experienced the voice of the Lord calling in the night. She heard his voice and was gifted with all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit: faith, wisdom, knowledge, prophecy, discernment, healing, tongues, interpretation of tongues, and miracles. As you are led through her life, you will see how the prophetic came to fulfillment through her lived experiences. The miracles she gives witness to will speak to a God who is alive and dwells among us. He is the Lord who will speak to our times and our culture. God leaves us with a message of his all-consuming, unconditional love and a hope for all mankind.

When people hear the word Quaker, their first association is often oats, motor oil, or the Amish-but oatmeal, automobile lubricant, and avoiding electricity have nothing to do with the Quakers' holistic mysticism. What is central to Quaker spirituality is the Divine Center, an inner sanctuary where the very Presence of God dwells. As Quaker theologian Rufus Jones wrote: "The kingdom of God is not a place where we go, but a state of being we can live in." And we don't need to take the journey by horse and buggy! "Let Amos Smith open your heart and expand your mind. Quakerism holds wisdom we desperately need today. Read, contemplate, and prepare to be transformed."-Phileena Nikole, author of Mindful Silence: The Heart of Christian Contemplation and Pilgrimage of a Soul: Contemplative Spirituality for the Active Life"I am grateful to Amos Smith for sharing himself, for bringing alive these voices from Quaker tradition, and for making clear that mysticism is not confined to monasteries or otherwise isolated from the problems of the world."-Margery Post Abbott, author of To Be Broken and Tender "My own interior work by the Spirit of Christ has been affirmed on many levels by this new book by Amos Smith. . . . Read, relish, and be renewed."-David Sanford, Executive Editor of Tyndale House's Holy Bible: Mosaic Amos Smith is a practicing Quaker (Friends General Conference) and a long-term centering-prayer practitioner, as well as a writer, workshop leader, and rehabilitation counselor. He emphasizes centering prayer and contemplative arts as the saving graces of his life. He is also the author of Healing the Divide (Resource, 2013) and Be Still and Listen (Paraclete, 2018).

When I was 13 I contracted an STD all because I was doing things and going places that I had no business going. It was the worst thing that a 13 year old could ever experience. I will never forget this experience as long as I live. Three days after going into the red light district I began to feel a burning sensation and I had to figure out how I am going to tell my mom and dad that it hurts and burns when I use the restroom. Years later I discovered after going into ministry that contracting an STD is similar to what happens when people come in contact with demonic spirits but instead of it being a physical relationship it is all spiritual. I understand what the bible was saying when it said we must guard our eye gates and ear gates because those are the gateways to our soul. Many believers as well as unbelievers have opened themselves up to demonic activity and has allowed satan and his demonic forces to penetrate their souls. Why are the saints sleeping with the enemy?

Go with me on a journey of spiritual warfare and defeating the demonic forces that are attacking you and your families.

"He asked if I was all settled in; although he meant settled into my accommodations, I took it to also mean settled in to meditate-ready to settle the mind into concentration. Always look for the double meaning."As a young adult, Quinn McDonald sought to understand the nature of truth: is there a singular universal truth, or does truth vary from person to person?

Over the next thirteen years, she would receive teachings from the most prolific leaders in Buddhism and journey across the world on her path to near awakening.As she studies and meditates, she must overcome obstacles both mental and physical: from splitting with her partner when they ordain at separate monasteries to having an infection cut out of her with no anaesthetic, Quinn's path to the truth is a long and arduous one. But through the friends she makes and the teachers she connects with, she learns to decipher the teachings of the Buddha and apply them to her life, bringing her closer to understanding the nature of the world.

The memoirs of pharmacist Frank J. Nice describe many of his experiences that occurred on his now twenty-four mission trips to Haiti.

After you read the Introduction, you will want to take your time reading the book in order to reflect upon many of the different stories. Each event described in the book will stimulate your mind to reflect upon that experience or story.

Thus, as you read the book you can decide if you want to just enjoy the storytelling of the memoirs or personally reflect on them.

En transformation, en forvandling, danner baggrund for både titel og indholdet af denne bog. En 180 graders vending giver sig udtryk på mange områder af ens liv, og tilbageblik kan være en fordel, når eller hvis fortid og nutid driller.Titlen Barn af solen og himlens blå opstod ved en tilfældighed, hvis sådanne findes. Oplevelsen af at være frit svævende over vandene og med skyerne som baggrund satte punktum for en barndom og en ungdom uden følelse af samhørighed med hverken en mor eller en far. Altså måtte jeg være barn af solen og himlens blå eller måske nærmere barn af universet. Tillige spillede astrologien sin rolle som altid, og sammenligningen med Løven (ild) og Vandbæreren (luft) var ikke svær at få øje på. Titlen rummer en skønhed og en sandhed i min verden – og den deler jeg gerne med andre.

Et frø bliver sået i et menneske, en spire søger opad mod lyset, en forvandling bliver vakt til live. Ud af mørket, hvor forhindringerne stod i kø, og ind i nye og anderledes billeder på et liv. Ud af vanetænkningens fastlåshed og ind i en ny spiral, der fører til nytænkning, nye kontakter og fremfor alt til erkendelser og fremsynethed. En forvandling byder på op/og nedture – der er både lyse og mørke dage – men frøet er i konstant vækst, nedbryder gamle vaner og tager imod det nye liv. I løbet af processen vokser planten sig større og stærkere, sætter nye frø, spiralen blander sig med andre spiraler. Ikke som en konkurrent, men som en ven, og se – en ny verden åbner sig for mange. Det er udvikling på både personligt og universelt plan. De store tænkere så og beskrev det for længe siden. Blandt andet så 1960’ernes filosoffer mulighederne for de kommende generationer i overgangen mellem Fiskens og Vandbærerens Tidsaldre. De levede ikke forgæves – vi kan tage ved lære af dem og se fremad.

Kr¿¿a, the Mahábhárata, the Bhagavad Giitá, and many shlokas (couplets) from the Giitá fig- ured prominently in the discourses of Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti throughout a lifetime of His spiritual teachings.The Discourses on Kr¿¿a and the Giitá is a collection of discourses by Shrii Shrii Ánandamúr- ti that were compiled to complement Discourses on the Mahábhárata and Namámi Kr¿¿asundaram -- the author's two existing books on these topics.

In the field of biblical commentary, Hindsight Is 2020 offers both traditional and contemporary perspectives. Over the course of an entire year from March 2020 through March 2021, Rabbi Margie Cella wrote a daily study of the Torah, adding one entry for each of the seven sections of every one of the fifty-four weekly portions. Hindsight is written in the style of a journal, with each day's writing dated and titled. Motivated by her desire to make Torah study accessible to all, Rabbi Cella writes in a personal and engaging style that is easily readable and will appeal to a wide readership. Her commentary presents a unique perspective reflective of the time in which it was written, drawing on the deeper meaning of the Torah to craft a response to both the Covid-19 pandemic and the political and social unrest of a difficult time whose lessons remain relevant today. Examining the biblical text in this distinctive format allows Rabbi Cella to offer a more comprehensive analysis of the Pentateuch that is infused with her personal insights. Hindsight Is 2020 is a timely work that casual and serious readers alike will find inspirational.

Keys to the Kingdom II reveals the hidden prophecies in the Bible by reimagining the scriptures. Keys II challenges the traditional view or interpretation of both Genesis and Revelation, by engaging ancient astrology and the Bible Numeric. What emerges is a new truth in which Adam is not the first man God created. This assertion only confirms the overwhelming evidence of the earliest humanoids existence on Earth, as there is a long fossil record which predates Adam by a million years or more. Evolutionist vs. Creationist argument has raged for over a hundred years, with either side satisfied with the others explanation. There is nothing wrong with the Bible, what is problematic is man's interpretation of the text, which early church fathers and theologians never consider Earth's long anthropological, archeological, and astrological past.By revealing the ancient astrology, which is hidden in plain sight, Revelation's apocalyptic code is finally cracked. What is revealed is seventy to eighty percent of the Book of Revelation has already happened. Biblical prophecy is real and trustworthy, as this terminal generation will continue to experience a number of unprecedented hardships and disasters, as the fulfillment of End of Days prophecies are now upon the world.

Self-knowledge is what we are fundamentally looking for, in part because our True Self isn't a passing, fluctuating thing like happiness and suffering, pleasure and pain. Consciousness is what experiences such pairs of opposites. What exactly is this Consciousness? What are its fundamental inner laws and characteristics? And what is NOT Consciousness within ourselves? And what does that have to do with Karma?That is what Self-Knowledge is all about. If we do not profoundly know and realize what Consciousness is, we remain forever caught in those cyclic, never-ending fluctuations. But, if we strive toward that Realization, we can eventually become free from them, and we can simply be our True Self: pure Consciousness, otherwise known as The Soul.
