  The Pure Heart of Acceptance

  I have started the practice of acceptance more as a necessity than a spiritual pursuit. I was in a situation where I really needed to change my life and the things around me, and I understood that only the practice of acceptance can get me out of my situation. As days and months passed by, I noted different passages from what I understood and after 2 years I compiled out of them the book that you are presently reading. There is not much to say about acceptance, so the book is not lengthy but rather compressed as information, but I made sure that I have explained every detail of the process I underwent. As a bonus, or better said as a surprise that happened in my practice of acceptance, I discovered that by practicing it, the heart opens so that you can see the world in its pure and pristine quality. Therefore, I also adapted the title to include it, naming it instead of "The Path Of Acceptance" to "The Heart of Acceptance". There is a lot written in this book about the open heart of acceptance, and I even dedicated a full chapter to it. I hope you will enjoy my book and gain the courage and attitude to practice it yourself. Namaste.

  Break Blow Burn and Make - A...

  From the award-winning author of On Fragile Waves comes an inspirational, surprising guide to creation and creativity, and how both bring us closer to God.   Centuries ago, sound theology and good fiction were friends and not strangers. Decades ago, authors strove not for self-expression and self-disclosure but for a mastery of craft and language and books that transformed the reader with wisdom and love. In more recent years, the old ideals have been exchanged for lesser ones.   Few guides to writing, which tend to focus on mechanics, point of view, and plot, address the more important matters of meaning, depth, and heart. But it is the latter qualities that make a book a blessing and gift to both writer and reader. Like Christ’s invitation to follow, they demand a risk and sacrifice of the self and all it holds dear. Writers from George MacDonald to James Baldwin understood this, but in recent years this understanding has been lost. Making old things new, this book proposes an ethics of reading, writing, and living based on truth and love.  Break, Blow, Burn, & Make returns the literary conversation to the practices of co-creation with God. Part bugle call, part compass for writing and for life, and part love song to the books that set us on fire, it offers those who are willing to receive it the courage to live, read, and write more deeply and honestly.

  The Edge of Reality - Two...

  From the outset, Hynek and Vallee make their position clear: UFOs represent an unknown but real phenomenon. The far-reaching implications take us to the very edge of what we consider known and real in our physical environment. Perhaps, say the authors, UFOs signal the existence of a domain of nature as yet totally unexplored.   In this mind-stretching book, the authors sample UFO reports, including those allegedly involving humanoids, and describe the perceived patterns in the behavior of the phenomenon. They also establish a framework for further study. Where might such study lead? What can be studied, and how? What is the real nature of the UFO phenomenon? Does it originate with the actions of other intelligences in the universe? If so, where and what might they be? Does the UFO phenomenon have a purely physical explanation, or is there a vast, hidden realm that holds the solution?   In this invaluable work, we gain insight into the thinking of Hynek and Vallee’s research and investigations into UFOs, including Project Blue Book, the Pascagoula case, and the Betty and Barney Hill experience

  Emotional pain is an intricate tapestry woven from the threads of our experiences, memories, and relationships. It often manifests as a heaviness in the heart, a whisper of sadness that lingers, or an overwhelming sense of isolation. Understanding emotional pain begins with recognizing that it is not merely a personal burden but a universal experience that connects us all. Each individual carries their own story, marked by moments of joy and sorrow, triumph and defeat. By acknowledging the validity of our feelings, we can begin to confront the shadows of our past and open the door to healing.
