Nature Religion

There are many reasons why it might seem unwise to walk, mostly alone, through the Middle East. That, in part, is exactly why Leon McCarron did it. From Jerusalem, McCarron followed a series of wild hiking trails that trace ancient trading and pilgrimage routes and traverse some of the most contested landscapes in the world. In the West Bank, he met families struggling to lead normal lives amidst political turmoil and had a surreal encounter with the world's oldest and smallest religious sect.

The Will of Heaven is the powerful true story of how one woman overcame a debilitating addiction - rising from the courtrooms of her past to the grass plains of Kenya as a conservation research scientist. It was there she could finally fulfill her lifelong dream of working with wild elephants.

Janet Messineo knew from the get-go that she wanted to become a great fisherman. She knew she was as capable as any man of catching and landing a huge fish. It took years - and many terrifying nights along on the beach in complete darkness, in search of a huge creature to pull out of the sea - for her to prove to herself and to the male-dominated fishing community that she could make her dream real. Casting into the Light is a book about following one’s dreams and about the quiet reckoning with self in the long hours of darkness at the water’s edge.

How did we get here? All cultures have a creation story, but a little over 150 years ago, Charles Darwin introduced a revolutionary new one. We, and all living things, exist because of the action of evolution on the first simple life form and its descendants. In How Evolution Explains Everything About Life, leading biologists and New Scientist take you on a journey of a lifetime, exploring the questions of whether life is inevitable or a one-off fluke and how it got kick-started.

At the core of every follower of Jesus exists a priestly DNA, designed by God to be a prominent part of our self-identity. However, like a slow burning ember, our priestly nature risks remaining obscure and inconsequential unless fanned to life. This book was written to be that fan.

Through a combination of prayer, Scripture study, nature observation, meditation, and scientifically proven tools, I discovered my core sacred self, the part of us that is made in God’s image. I came to understand what Jesus meant by “The Kingdom of God is within you” (Luke 17:21). It’s the light given to everyone who comes into the world (John 1:9).

Who are you in Christ? When asked this question, most respond with terms like saved, a child of God, surrendered to Jesus, or just a Christian. While these are all good descriptors of our relationship with God, they are incomplete and misunderstood without the purchase of the soul called redemption. The apostles Jesus commissioned understood that they were slaves of Christ. They saw redemption as a literal purchase of their souls from the cruel master of sin.

The flame of Mother Earth's cauldron has gone out as the climate crisis and resulting social chaos have gotten worse. But, it's not too late. Rev. Wendy Van Allen confronts this problem and its origins, focusing on the spiritual disconnect we have between ourselves and our natural world. With the help of ten other voices from diverse, nature-centered practices, she helps you discover your spiritual center, build better recognition of humanity's interdependence with itself and other species, and live in harmony with the environment.

James Allen helps us open our mind’s eye to the place of insight, so that reality stands revealed; the reality of "things-in-themselves." He shows us the role of heart and mind in achieving a victorious life, and what are the elements, in character and conduct, which go to build up the life of calm strength and superlative victory. A success so invincible and complete that even apparent defeats shine with added victory, and the universe again rejoices in the triumph of good, and hails another conqueror, YOU.

In Dzögchen Practice: The Path of Pure Awareness, Unlocking Your Buddha Nature, Valeria Cruz guides you through immersive meditations and reflections designed to reveal your boundless true nature.

Dell'intuizione sappiamo poco, perché è una funzione che trascende logica e razionalità. La vivono i bambini, poi va persa, quando la capacità di definire i concetti prende il sopravvento. Chi inizia a meditare vi inciampa, perché la caratteristica base dell'intuizione è sprofondare in se stessi, come i mistici spiegano. Osho chiarisce che senza l'intuizione perdiamo una connessione reale con la vita, perché viene a mancare la visione d'insieme e dunque la connessione con ciò che è l'universo.

The Afterlife Experience - How Our Association with Nature's Elements Shapes the Outcome suggest something outside cautious thinking. It recommends that for one moment, we try and imagine something that rest beyond what we have historically embraced. That we explore unorthodox ideas freely and without past ancient convictions.

Prompted by a friend to describe Jesus as he is - not as he was or will be in the coming days - Dick Eastman found himself stammering. What followed over many months was a desire to get to know the Jesus who had changed his life, but in a much fuller and richer way - now! From then on, on scraps of folded paper in his pockets, Eastman found himself recording adjectives describing the nature and character of Jesus Christ, expanding them later into a personal devotional journal.

When we turn our attention to the subject of elemental Intelligences or Nature-Spirits, we are confronted by this immediate difficulty, that we are led at the very beginning beyond and behind the world which we know through the channels of the senses. Sense perception does not help us at all in our study of that mysterious realm of life which constitutes the invisible background of physical manifestation. Madame Blavatsky warned us long ago that to describe Nature-Spirits or Elementals as having definite and corporeal form was likely to lead into great error.

What Is Self Awareness: Looking Beyond the Law of Attraction is about knowing yourself as the causal body for everything you do, experience, and accomplish in life. It is a conversation between a devotee (“I”) seeking to know a self and a devoted (“You”) who is the self the devotee is seeking to know. A devoted may be anyone who attracts the devotee with her feminine devotion, just like Mother Nature. That anyone may even be a masculine, such as a benevolent deity or a paternal guru, acting in oneness with Mother Nature.

One common belief is “God is everywhere in time: our past, present, and future are all now for him.” Is this true? Is this biblical? In Tomorrow Has Never Happened, author Thomas Eddy explores the nature of time.
