  • Meditations - cover

    Meditations

    Marcus Aurelius

    Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. 
    Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes tell us that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova and the second book was written at Carnuntum. 
    It is unlikely that Marcus Aurelius ever intended the writings to be published and the work has no official title, so "Meditations" is one of several titles commonly assigned to the collection.

    He Breaks The Shell reads like a spiritual parable about awakening from limitation. Neville uses vivid imagery to describe the “shell” of old identity, habits, fears, and inherited beliefs, and the necessity of breaking it to enter a larger state of being. It’s about transformation: letting the old self die so the new self can live, and recognising that expansion happens from within, not by forcing the outer world.
    
    Breaking limiting identity and conditioning
    Inner transformation before outer change
    Growth through “death” of the old self
    Symbolic, memorable imagery for awakening

    More Than Merely Eyes Can See

    More Than Merely Eyes Can See weaves together the stories of a small church--mostly comprised of middle-class suburban members--and its inner-city neighbors. It begins with the congregation confronting its isolation in the community. A predominantly negative image had taken root in the congregation's imagination and festered in the absence of meaningful relationships with neighbors. Rebuilding those relationships began with listening. In 2011, the congregation launched the Friday Gathering and invited members and neighbors to dine together each week. 
    More than forty diners shared stories about their lives with grace, humor, and occasionally brutal honesty. The stories challenge the stereotypes spawned by census data and headlines and dignify the resiliency of the soul and the deep-seated need to belong. 
    Many organizations, not just churches, want to be perceived as warm and welcoming. But hospitality and charity often come with strings attached. Our norms and expectations about giving and receiving can be barriers to building trust, which is essential to building relationships. More Than Merely Eyes Can See offers readers diverse perspectives on racial identity, the shortcomings of charity, opportunities to repair inequitable systems, and the power of relationships. There is risk that a story will change us, that we cannot go back to who we were, when it transforms how we see ourselves and others.
