Summary

Gathering brings together essays by women of colour across the UK writing about their relationships with nature, in a genre long-dominated by male, white, middle-class writers. In redressing this imbalance, this moving collection considers climate justice, neurodiversity, mental health, academia, inherited histories, colonialism, whiteness, music, hiking and so much more.
These personal, creative, and fierce essays will broaden both conversations and horizons about our living world, encouraging readers to consider their own experience with nature and their place within it.

  • Practical Applications of Taoism - Using Taoism to Make Actual Changes in Your Life - cover

    Practical Applications of Taoism...

    SULI Daniel Johnson

    I decided to write this book after having written several books on the applications of Taoism in different areas. The applications of Taoism are broad. For everything that has been written, it remains poorly understood. There are several reasons for this. I have practiced Taoism for most of my life. I studied under a Taoist Master and spent many years in a temple. I have read a great deal on the subject. I have discovered that most of what is written is unclear and, in many cases, misleading. Having practiced Taoism for most of my life, I live the Tao, and I have helped others to live it. The reason why it's so difficult to describe Tao because people are attempting to do so through the lens of cognitive understanding and science. The Taoist perspective is completely different, so it does not lend itself well to be described through science or logic. In attempting to cast Taoism in terms of logic or science, most of what makes it unique and effective is lost.. To understand the Tao, you need to live it. 
    I teach aspects of this system to individuals and businesses. On the surface, the system is simple and fundamental. For this reason, many people are tempted to pass it off as being nothing more than insubstantial fluff. However, Taoism is much more than this. I will attempt in this book to explain what Taoism is. I will explain its different perspectives, how to experience it, and how to use it as a functional tool. Within this book and the second one, I will also teach many skills and techniques to develop your Taoist insight. This will help you operate more effectively within the world around you. 
    I will teach you how to use it to make pragmatic changes in your life. It can also be applied to improving business skills and other applications within your jobs or careers. Its applications can span creativity to the organization.

    Proof: Does God Exist?

    "What with all the fuss over Jesus and Mary because of Dan Brown and the growing numbers who are suddenly taking religion seriously again it is good timing to see a balanced viewpoint arrive on the scene. Gardiner recently threw me off balance with The Serpent Grail and I have just finished Gnosis too, but this was just what I was looking for.
    
    It's simple, but concise and leads you through a process that you would go through yourself if you had time. I really enjoyed his light humour and easy-to-read style so yes, I recommend it. The Rosicrucian."

    "Dark Psychology Mastery Vol 1: The Art of Dark Seduction & Persuasion Unveiled" brings together two of Michael Pace's most compelling works, offering an unprecedented deep dive into the realms of dark seduction and persuasion. This book is a must-read for those intrigued by the darker aspects of influence and human psychology. 
    Michael Pace, the author who coined the term “Dark Psychology” in 2014, shocked the world with his groundbreaking book, "Dark Psychology 101," released in August 2015. His work provided a raw, unfiltered glimpse into a hidden world previously unknown to most, revealing the tactics and principles wielded by history's most influential and nefarious minds. Now, in "Dark Psychology Mastery Vol 1," Pace continues this exploration, dissecting the intricate web of dark seduction and persuasion. 
    "Dark Seduction: The Dark Truth About Seduction And How To Use It To Get What You Want From Love, Sex, Relationships, And Romance" is the first book in this compelling volume. Pace delves into the art of seduction, a potent force in human interaction, which can lead to both immense pleasure and profound pain. This book represents the apex of knowledge in the field of seduction, uncovering secrets so powerful that they have been banned in some countries. 
    The second part, "Dark Methods of Persuasion: How To Use Dark Persuasion Techniques To Convince, Influence And Persuade Anyone And Get Them To Do What You Desire," takes the reader into the world of dark persuasion. This work is not just about the theory of persuasion but its practical applications in extreme and everyday scenarios. From negotiating with terrorists to manipulating personal relationships, Pace provides an eye-opening guide to the power of persuasion.

    Stealing My Religion - Not Just...

    We think we know cultural appropriation when we see it. Blackface or Native American headdresses as Halloween costumes—these clearly give offense. But what about Cardi B posing as the Hindu goddess Durga in a Reebok ad, AA's twelve-step invocation of God, or the earnest namaste you utter at the end of yoga class? 
     
     
     
    Liz Bucar unpacks the ethical dilemmas of a messy form of cultural appropriation: the borrowing of religious doctrines, rituals, and dress for political, economic, and therapeutic reasons. Does borrowing from another's religion harm believers? Bucar sees religion as an especially vexing arena for appropriation debates because faiths overlap and imitate each other and because diversity within religious groups scrambles our sense of who is an insider and who is not. 
     
     
     
    Stealing My Religion guides us through three revealing case studies—the hijab as a feminist signal of Muslim allyship, a study abroad "pilgrimage" on the Camino de Santiago, and the commodification of yoga in the West. Reflecting on her own missteps, Bucar comes to a surprising conclusion: the way to avoid religious appropriation isn't to borrow less but to borrow more—to become deeply invested in learning the roots and diverse meanings of our enthusiasms.
