Описание:
A cascade of profound spiritual insights on women's situation and how women have a historical opportunity to turn society in a new direction. Learn why certain manipulative beings chose that women should be the inferior sex on earth and how this has impacted civilization. Learn how women can free themselves from the consequences of this manipulation and thereby also free society from the male-dominated bias that is still affecting the world, even in modern democracies.
Beyond mere insights, this book also contains a series of practical tools whereby women can call into physical manifestation the changes that already exist in the spiritual realm and the higher levels of the collective consciousness. Some of the topics covered:
Why women need to question infallible truth
The unknown forces behind the suppression of women
We are spiritual beings and not created as men or women
The potential for solidarity between women on a world scale
Why certain religions blame women for the "fall of man"
Jesus never wanted Christianity to suppress women
How to overcome control games between men and women
How to overcome violence against women
How to free women (and men) from sexual exploitation
How to free women from control from the power elite
How to help all women have a better life

Описание:
My boyish innocence was stolen by a sexual predator, and I kept the soul-gnawing secret for decades. That experience changed me. Growing up in 1950's England, I couldn't discuss my sexual identity issues with anyone. Feeling isolated and confused, I turned my back on the father who misunderstood me, and the religion that failed me. Later, as I lost friends to AIDS and suicide, I became more determined than ever to live by faith and not by feeling.
Christians often believe God simply wants to change our behavior, but ultimately, He longs to heal our wounded hearts. What shaped me as a lad does not define me. My true identity emerged as I walked out my quest for who I really was, and sought to be the man I was created to be.
In this book, Geoff Pennock, affectionately called "Mr. P," tells his story to his wife, Susan, and stepdaughter, Juliet. Set in a pandemic and framed by Juliet's writing process, this unforgettable memoir gently cushions tragedy and heartache with humor and the quirky daily life and loving banter of "Mr. and Mrs. P."

Описание: This Spot of Ground: Spiritual Baptists in Toronto represents the first detailed exploration of an African-Caribbean religion in the context of contemporary migration to Canada. Toronto is home to Canadas largest black population, a significant portion of which comprises Caribbean migrants and their descendants. This book shows how the development of the Spiritual Baptist religion in Canada has been shaped by the immigration experiences of church members, the large majority of whom are women, and it examines the ways in which religious experiences have mediated the members experiences of migration and everyday life in Canada. This Spot of Ground is based on a critical ethnography, with in-depth interviews and participant observations of church services and other ritual activities, including baptism and pilgrimage and field research in Trinidad that explores the transnational linkages with Spiritual Baptists there. The book addresses theoretical and methodological issues also, including the development of perspectives suitable for examining diasporic African religious and cultural expressions characterized by transnational migration, an emphasis on oral tradition as the repository of cultural history, and linguistic and cultural hybridity. This Spot of Ground contributes new information to the study of Caribbean religion and culture in the diaspora, providing a detailed examination of the significance of religion in the immigration process and identity and community formations of Caribbean people in Canada.

Rose discovering her purpose at age five in the operating room, and promptly forgetting in for decades. her teenage bedroom featuring the "pin-up" image of... Picassos eyes. Her one-on-one encounters with Timothy Leary and Ram Dass. Becoming a highly insecure (yet inspired) TM initiator. Moving Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to tears. As Rose describes, you and everyone on the planet had a "Planning Meeting" before you were born, where Divine input shared your life purpose. Uncovering that purpose is not easy, but all authentic spiritual awakening can help, and Roses discoveries leave you plenty of clues. The book employs a "gradually-maturing-voice" style of writing as Rosetree herself evolves into her first job as a spiritual teacher. With its myriad teaching tales and universal truths -- this one-of-a-kind life chronicle will resonate on many levels, while serving as a potent touchstone for your own spiritual journey.
Описание: Is a total renunciation of clothing a prerequisite to attaining spiritual liberation? In Gender and Salvation, Padmanabh S. Jaini brings to light previously untranslated texts centering on a centuries-old debate between the two principal Jaina sects, the Digambaras and the Svetambaras. At the core of the debate is the question of whether gender-based differences of biology and life experience shape or limit an individual's ability to accomplish the ultimate religious goal.
For the Digambaras, the example of total nudity set by Mahavira (599-527 B.C.), the central spiritual figure of Jainism, mandates an identical practice for all who aspire to the highest levels of religious attainment. For the Svetambaras, the renunciation occurs purely on an internal level and is neither affected nor confirmed by the absence of clothes. Both sects agree, however, that nudity is not permitted for women under any circumstances. The Digambaras, therefore, believe that women cannot attain salvation, while the Svetambaras believe they can. Through their analysis of this dilemma, the Jaina thinkers whose texts are translated here demonstrate a level of insight into the material and spiritual constraints on women that transcends the particular question of salvation and relates directly to current debates on the effects of gender in our own society.
