Sinopse

In this book, Beckles Willson presents a compelling examination of the intersection between occult practices and rational thought within the late 19th-century cultural milieu. Emphasizing clarity and accessibility, Willson employs a distinctive literary style that blends scholarly analysis with vivid illustrations, drawing from a rich tapestry of historical and philosophical sources. The book critically explores the prevailing superstitions of the time, juxtaposing them against an emerging rational discourse, thus illuminating the complexities of human belief systems in a rapidly modernizing world. Beckles Willson, a noted figure in the early occult revival and a clear thinker with a keen interest in the metaphysical implications of contemporary thought, was shaped by the intellectual currents of his time. Living through a period marked by the tension of emerging scientific paradigms and traditional beliefs, Willson's insights are informed by his own experiences within the esoteric communities, allowing him to provide an authentic perspective on the subject matter.

    In Language of the Soul: A Path of Simplicity, consciousness teacher and acupuncturist Martin Perkins details the challenges and opportunities we encounter on our path to inner wisdom. This journey is one of profound exploration into learning what he calls the language of one's Soul. A language that is unique within every human being. 
    Offered through the lens of teaching stories, social commentary and clearly outlined practices for daily use, Language of the Soul focuses on a genuinely conscious yet non-doctrinal, non-dogmatic cultivation of self-knowledge. Knowledge that is steeped in deep rest, energetic mediation and a willingness to embrace one's depth.   
    The book offers the unique feature of juxtaposing poetic verse, vignettes and rich content within the chapters to learn how to live a soulful life. Healing & Growth, or Daoyin, offers a synergistic and complete approach that brings vibrancy, authenticity and ease to life and life purpose. The primary message, that all of us can have a real-time relationship with our Soul, evokes within the listener a remembering of who they truly are as a human being.  
    Martin Perkins is a healing presence who has been in practice with meditation for over 30 years. Within his practice as an acupuncturist and herbalist over the last quarter century Martin has provided Healing & Growth support to thousands of clients. He has as well taught on a number of subjects including: Qi Gong, acupuncture, Daoyin and the Language of the Soul. Language of the Soul: A Path of Simplicity, in both its forms as book and course, expresses Martin’s vocational and life purpose.

    Our Path to Freedom is a collection of personal stories by members of Nicotine Anonymous, a fellowship of people helping each other to recover from nicotine addiction. The fellowship, formed in the ’80s, is a diverse group made up of people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. However, we are all nicotine addicts whether we smoked tobacco, chewed it, or used nicotine in any form. In the Nicotine Anonymous program, many have found freedom from the compulsion to use nicotine as well as greater serenity and happiness. 
    In preparing this book, we sought to represent the diversity of our membership and to retain the voice and meaning of each author’s story. In 1990, the fellowship changed its name from Smokers Anonymous to Nicotine Anonymous. Some of the stories referred to Smokers Anonymous. These references were changed to read Nicotine Anonymous for consistency.

Drawing powerful parallels between basketball and college, Charles uses his passion for the game to coach students through one of life’s biggest financial challenges: student loan debt.

    You’ll meet the “Student Loaners”—a team made up of every student who ever signed on the dotted line—and discover how to play smarter, not harder, when it comes to college finances.

    If you could have a dinner party with anyone dead or alive, who would it be? 
     
     
     
    That's the question film critic and food writer Alissa Wilkinson answered as she gathered a hypothetical table of women who challenged norms and defied conventional wisdom. 
     
     
     
    Ella Baker, Alice B. Toklas, Hannah Arendt, Octavia Butler, Agnes Varda, Elizabeth David, Edna Lewis, Maya Angelou, Laurie Colwin: these smart, engaging, revolutionary, and creative twentieth-century women were all profoundly influenced by their own relationships to food, drink, and other elements of sustenance. 
     
     
     
    In Salty, Wilkinson explores the ways food managed to root these women into their various callings. For some, it was cultivating perseverance in the face of hardship. For others, it was nurturing a freedom to act, even in the face of opposition, toward justice and equality. For others, it was an examination of what it means to be human with all its desire, heartbreak, sacrifice, isolation, and liberty. 
     
     
     
    Salty is Alissa Wilkinson's invitation to you. Join these sharp, empowered, and often subversive women and discover how to live with courage, agency, grace, smarts, snark, saltiness, and sometimes feasting—even in uncertain times.

    Becoming Whole is the raw, unfiltered testimony of a man who has lived many lives—and is finally telling the truth about all of them. 
    Born into the strict world of Jehovah’s Witnesses, Eric Darnell Love grew up navigating silence, complexity, and spiritual pressure long before he understood what freedom really was. As a young Black boy in Chicago, his early years were marked by family struggle, religious rigidity, and the unspoken weight of trying to survive emotionally while everyone expected him to stay strong. 
    When he left home as a teenager to start over in Minnesota, Eric discovered resilience he didn’t know he had. His journey took him through military service in the United States Air Force, early fatherhood, marriage, divorce, and eventually into a second marriage that has lasted fourteen years—one filled with deep love, challenges, emotional disconnect, healing, and the hard work of rebuilding trust. 
    A 100% disabled veteran living with PTSD, anxiety, and the emotional aftermath of service and trauma, Eric writes with honesty and a voice that is unpolished on purpose. His story is not sanitized. It is not softened. It is true. 
    In this first volume of his memoir series, Eric shares:Growing up as a child in Jehovah’s WitnessesNavigating family dysfunction, loyalty, and the search for identityBecoming a husband and father while battling trauma, responsibility, and expectationsThe quiet grief of losing loved ones—and the strength required to keep goingHis battle to reclaim his voice, his faith, his emotional freedom, and his manhoodHis awakening—spiritually, mentally, and relationally—as he learns what it means to truly become whole 
    This is the story of a man who carried everyone’s burdens but his own for far too long… 
    and finally chose healing over silence.
