Book Synopsis Journey Through the Heart of a Modern Mystic by : Sandra Credendino-Nile
Download or read book Journey Through the Heart of a Modern Mystic written by Sandra Credendino-Nile and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of original inspirational narrative, poetry, prose, art and lyrics, in five parts, honoring the sacredness of human existence and life experiences. All of the poems rhyme and have a rhythm of an almost musical sense. Some contain profound messages regarding present worldly conditions. It inspires to search deep within the soul and reevaluate and explore our priorities and personal relationships, as well as the relationship and love we have with and for ourselves, God, Nature, and Humankind. This work is un-convoluted, honest, compassionate and touching. It is also very clear. This artist finds a way with words that is so understandable and easy to relate to that you don't have to have a degree in literature, philosophy, or even be a fan of the art to appreciate all she has to say. In part three all of the poems pertain to romantic and sensual love. Each one is a short story in itself. Some of them are very personal pieces which acknowledge and express the deepest of human emotions. This is done with truthfulness, wisdom and grace. For the closing pieces the author shares a heartfelt eulogy written for her grandmother (to whom the book is dedicated) and a last poem found by her daughter (shortly before completion of this collection) which was written by the author in 1966. It is a variable testimony of the truthfulness and purity of her work.

Book excerpt: Let go of the "Should Life" and free yourself. The stories, experiences, and ultimately the discoveries shared in this book emanate from exploring the phenomenon of the 'should life'- an often insidious voice in our head that is planted by social, cultural, and familial conditioning. Shaffali shows readers how to spot when they are trapped in an inauthentic life and how to release the shackles that keep them stuck in it. Part memoir, part guide, and all heart. In What Lights You Up, Shaffali gives readers an intimate look into 20 years of her misadventures and triumphs as she imparts, with a healthy dose of humor, the lessons those experiences taught her. In doing this, she guides readers on a spiritual journey through The Prism Principles which provide rituals and practices for finding harmony in mind, body, and soul so they can connect with their passions. We all have the ability to find love, abundance, and manifest what we desire, if we can connect with our highest truths and most authentic selves. All it takes is that first step forward toward our light.
Book Synopsis Letters By A Modern Mystic: Excerpts from Letters Written at Dansalan, Lake Lanao, Philippine Islands, to His Father by : Frank C. Laubach
Download or read book Letters By A Modern Mystic: Excerpts from Letters Written at Dansalan, Lake Lanao, Philippine Islands, to His Father written by Frank C. Laubach and published by Mockingbird Press. This book was released on 2022-06-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letters by a Modern Mystic is a collection of excerpts from the letters of missionary Frank C. Laubach. Written between January 1930 and January 1932, these intimate writings show a faithful man's work to become closer to God through daily, hourly, and minute-by-minute practice. Frank C. Laubach (1884-1970) was an American missionary and literacy advocate. After graduating from Princeton University (1909), Union Theological Seminary (1913), and Columbia University (Ph.D., 1915), he and his wife Emma sailed to the Philippines to begin their missionary life. They worked among the local Catholic population and spent seven years building evangelical churches on Mindanao, one of the largest Philippine islands. Laubach was later appointed to the faculty of Union Theological Seminary, helping to establish the campus in Manila. During this time, he wrote the book The People of the Philippines, a history of the islands and of religious life there. After 14 years in the Philippines, Laubach traveled to Dansalan (renamed Malawi in 1956) to work with the Muslim Moros people. Finding them resistant to his evangelical message, he thought that a focus on literacy would be a better method for reaching them. He felt that approaching the Moros people with education and "a divine love which will speak Christ to them though I never use his name" would lead to greater results. His "each one teach one" method of learning to read spread quickly, leading to an explosion of literacy on the island. During his time at Dansalan, Laubach was alone, his wife and son remaining on another island for health and education purposes. Laubach combatted his loneliness by writing letters to his father about his work, his faith, and his "deep mystic experience of God." One might expect an evangelical Christian missionary from 1930 to be hostile to the ideas of another religion. But in fact, Laubach seems to welcome the Muslim perspective. "Living in the atmosphere of Islam is proving-thus far-a tremendous spiritual stimulation. Mohammed is helping me..." He found strength in some fundamentals of Islam. "Submission [to God] is the first and last duty of man [in Islam]", he writes. "That is exactly what I have been needing in my Christian life." He felt that he had not, to this point in his life, made enough of an effort to live minute-by-minute with the will of God. This concept of living each minute for God comes up again and again. As he puts it into practice, Laubach seems to find a rapture and connection to God and his fellow man that he's never known before. Written as personal letters rather than as a piece of literature, this short work is both intimate and readable. It provides valuable insight into the mind of a spiritual man, as well as inspiration for how the modern Christian can try to lead a more Christ-filled life. Even his failures provide encouragement. In a letter of April 1930, he confesses that the constant submission to God is difficult and that he often falls short. In 1935, Laubach began to spread his literacy method to other countries. After retiring from his missionary work, he founded Laubach Literacy which has helped nearly 3 million people worldwide learn how to read. In 2002, the program merged with Literacy Volunteers of America to become Pro-Literacy, which still works to spread the written word globally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: May we begin to disrobe the idea that we are separate, let go of beliefs that no longer serve us, and let go of any of the labels that we use to limit ourselves. Open the heart through the senses, and feel the awe for the great mysterythat which cannot be named. A mystic is someone who took the path to become awakened, and has seen and felt the truth. A mystic will point in the direction so that others can see. The Way of the Modern Mystic may change your perceptions of mystics, and/or of yourself, and thereby change your reality. - Rev. Dr. Jeff Bentley

Download or read book The Modern Mystic written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christian mystics were seekers of God's wisdom and presence. They sought out, as described by the Celtic Christian tradition, those places "worn thin"; where earth and heaven lose their distinctions. They serve as guides to those "thin" places for the modern day spiritual seeker. The goal of this book is not to update the tradition, but to locate the ancient wisdom and spiritual insights in a modern context. In this book, the two thousand year long tradition of spiritual seekers, the Christian mystics, will be explored for the purposes of mining their insights and wisdom for today's seeker. Their wisdom has been passed to us through what is called the Contemplative or Mystical path. It is a tapestry threaded with ecstatic visions of divine love, personal revelation and a deep sense of God's direct presence. This book will introduce you to the history, major themes, characters and practices of the Christian mystics. The mystics will serve as your spiritual guides to the love of God. The purpose of this book is not to update the ancient Contemplative wisdom and practices of the Christian mystics. Instead, the intent is to understand their wisdom in the hope of articulating it in such a way that spiritual seekers from a modern context can understand and apply what is gained for the benefit of their spiritual life.
Download or read book Eternal Heart written by Carl McColman and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heart is where the human soul and God meet. This is what teachings from Scripture and the mystics reveal: the heart is the temple of God within us and within the heart we hold the key to live a truly divine life. But how do we embody the tremendous love available to us, deep in our hearts? In Eternal Heart, Carl McColman, author of The Big Book of Christian Mysticism, invites us to create an optimistic, visionary, and imaginative path to personal happiness and fulfillment. Weaving together teachings from the biblical tradition, literature of the mystics, and wisdom of the world's contemplative traditions, McColman engages us in profound, practical exercises for cultivating fuller, more abundant, and more satisfying lives. The path of Christian Mysticism is a path of both contemplation and action. By unlocking the mysteries in our hearts, we discover a source of divine love deep within us: a power for spiritual growth, and for creating meaningful relationships and working together to change the world for the better.
