Book Synopsis What the Ancestors Knew by : Joanne P. Miller
Download or read book What the Ancestors Knew written by Joanne P. Miller and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to engender debate. Its subject, faith in a modern Buddhist context, almost always carries with it the widespread but erroneous assumption that it is completely unimportant to the Buddhist path. Without really knowing what it is and how it differs from theistic versions, faith has been given a bad name. Moreover, naivety regarding the colonial orientalist agenda and bias of early Zen exegetes in the West has allowed modern Zennists to accept, almost unquestioningly, the view that faith and knowledge occupy opposite ends of the practice spectrum. As a result, trusted and authentic sources of authority, Zen ancestors and sutras, have often been prevented from speaking about a doctrinally sound and legitimate tool of realization mentioned in a stunningly large amount of sutras. It has also resulted in an erroneous and often condescending view of “faith schools” of Buddhism. Now is the perfect time in Zen’s journey in the West to reassess and address these shortcomings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Exciting and provocative . . . A tour de force of a book that begs to be seen as well as to be read.”—The Washington Post Book World World renowned scientist Carl Sagan and acclaimed author Ann Druyan have written a Roots for the human species, a lucid and riveting account of how humans got to be the way we are. Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is a thrilling saga that starts with the origin of the Earth. It shows with humor and drama that many of our key traits—self-awareness, technology, family ties, submission to authority, hatred for those a little different from ourselves, reason, and ethics—are rooted in the deep past, and illuminated by our kinship with other animals. Sagan and Druyan conduct a breathtaking journey through space and time, zeroing in on critical turning points in evolutionary history, and tracing the origins of sex, altruism, violence, rape, and dominance. Their book culminates in a stunningly original examination of the connection between primate and human traits. Astonishing in its scope, brilliant in its insights, and an absolutely compelling read, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is a triumph of popular science.

Download or read book Ancestor Trouble written by Maud Newton and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Extraordinary and wide-ranging . . . a literary feat that simultaneously builds and excavates identity.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) Roxane Gay’s Audacious Book Club Pick • Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Prize • An acclaimed writer goes searching for the truth about her complicated Southern family—and finds that our obsession with ancestors opens up new ways of seeing ourselves—in this “brilliant mix of personal memoir and cultural observation” (The Boston Globe). ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, NPR, Time, Entertainment Weekly, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Esquire, Garden & Gun Maud Newton’s ancestors have fascinated her since she was a girl. Her mother’s father was said to have married thirteen times. Her mother’s grandfather killed a man with a hay hook. Mental illness and religious fanaticism percolated Maud’s maternal lines back to an ancestor accused of being a witch in Puritan-era Massachusetts. Newton’s family inspired in her a desire to understand family patterns: what we are destined to replicate and what we can leave behind. She set out to research her genealogy—her grandfather’s marriages, the accused witch, her ancestors’ roles in slavery and other harms. Her journey took her into the realms of genetics, epigenetics, and debates over intergenerational trauma. She mulled over modernity’s dismissal of ancestors along with psychoanalytic and spiritual traditions that center them. Searching and inspiring, Ancestor Trouble is one writer’s attempt to use genealogy—a once-niche hobby that has grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry—to make peace with the secrets and contradictions of her family's past and face its reverberations in the present, and to argue for the transformational possibilities that reckoning with our ancestors offers all of us.

After struggling for years to become pregnant, Erika believes there is no hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like most good books, this book starts with a story. But it is not only a story. It is a healing.It is an affirmation and reclaiming of life. This book is centered around my story of not belonging and never feeling as though I was good enough and finding hope, power and meaning in the healing traditions of my Native American and indigenous ancestors. Woven between story segments are "healing moments" with powerful quotes and personal insights that will gently lead you through a soul-stirring inquiry into reclaiming your life and your power. What Readers Are Saying: Extraordinary! This book is a treasure for women seeking to know their worth and power.Gemma graciously helps you re-weave and recover your sense of self from the inside out. Her writing is part personal memoir about learning her Native American traditions and part self-help for women. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. Joy Balma, Bestselling Women's Empowerment Author, www.joybalma.com A gifted storyteller with incredible healing stories that will move you and stir up your inner power to heal yourself. The bonus to this book were the "healing moments" that folded you in so you can integrate the wisdom from her stories and have the tools to start your own personal healing. This is truly a beautiful book and gift to all readers! Renee Li, author of "Peace of the Heart: Releasing Emotional Blocks and Living a Life You Love" Then She Sang A Willow Song is an inspirational book by Gemma Benton, detailing the connection between Indigenous peoples, their land and their ancestors. The Tree of Life is a powerful symbol, as it stands for the connection of the Elements as well as the connection to those who came before us. When we feel so low and lost that we want to choose Death over Life, we need to think of the struggles of our ancestors who, at the time, were not just fighting for themselves but were also fighting for us - future generations - so that we may thrive. Indigenous people celebrate with Nature. Fire, Air, Water, Earth and the Spirits give us life and we celebrate through dance and song within our tribes. As a proud Indigenous woman of Australia, I was able to fully relate to the words in this book and even shed a tear when the Willow baskets were treated with such disrespect. Then She Sang A Willow Song was aptly named for the ending of the book, when Gemma Benton felt sadness and mourning at the sight of the Willow baskets at the museum. Indigenous people belong to the Earth and our roles go back many thousands of years. The empowering words which were used throughout the book at regular intervals gave strength and encouragement for better days ahead, encouraging me to draw my strength and love from the ancestors who came before me, teaching me that each decision that I make in life is not only for my own benefit, but for the benefit of the future generations that are to come. I very much enjoyed reading this story from the viewpoint of an Indigenous American, and recommend Gemma Benton's beautifully written, insightful and educational book to all people who seek a better connection with Nature, and who wish to learn more about the world's Indigenous peoples and the reasons for our love of the land.
