Spiritual Movements

We have learned how to suppress our pain and deny its presence, but when we fight against our internal turmoil, glimmers of peace are short-lived. Rejecting our suffering is not a sustainable solution because trauma is held in the body. In this book, Nityda Gessel invites listeners on a journey toward lasting freedom, with insights and experiential practices that marry the wisdom of Buddhist psychology, yogic teachings, and Indigenous understanding with somatic psychotherapy and neuroscience.

This remarkable essay (now in a small colored booklet) describes how John Wren-Lewis had a remarkable spiritual awakening without any expectation or effort. Reveals in a nutshell how he achieved what yogis and mystics spend a lifetime trying to achieve. Rational, clear, and devoid of any pretensions.

God has so much more in store for you than you have allowed yourself to receive. The blessings he wants for you are eternal. Those eternal treasures will then lead to the earthly manifestations you desire. "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." (Luke 12:32). Your current place in life doesn't have to be a permanent stop unless you want it to be. He is always working things out in your favor.

Here is a perceptive evaluation of the new “emerging church” movement showing how we must not only interact with a fast-changing culture but also have our vision and practice of ministry shaped by biblical theology with Scripture as the norm.

Over five hundred years ago, the Western church underwent a period of massive recalibration that exposed abuses and theological blind spots and revived the historical foundations of Christianity.

The Christian story the church has been telling has become too small, and we are at a dead end.

Experience true liberation by seeing your beauty, femininity, and freedom from heaven's point of view. Has Christianity kept women trapped in the Stone Age? In many ways, yes; but this is not by God's design. As society offers women opportunities to explore outer-space and govern nations, the church often stifles and limits them.

Brainwashing is often associated with cartoonish villains who use outrageous methods to compel their victims to do their bidding. In Hollywood films, it’s commonly depicted that victims undergo a series of treatments in order to have their will essentially subjugated to that of their master’s. As a result, the victim stops thinking for themselves. Instead, the victim ends up acting and behaving in the manner the master or manipulator orders them to do.
