Crowned with Glory - How Proclaiming the Truth of Black Dignity Has Shaped American History

Jasmine L. Holmes

Sinopsis

America was founded on the concept of the innate and inalienable rights of humankind. Many Christians see an echo of the imago Dei--that every human being carries the image of God--within those ideals. Yet these rights were systemically withheld from the Black and enslaved residents of this country for centuries. Through it all, Black people have proclaimed the truth of their dignity and personhood in powerful and profound ways. 
 
Crowned with Glory collects many of the writings of these men and women, both familiar and lesser-known, to shine a light on what has always been there: an enormous movement of Black Americans demanding the liberty they were promised and deserved. With moving and insightful reflections on these oft-forgotten or suppressed voices, author Jasmine L. Holmes offers a hopeful and encouraging testament to the power of unrelenting cries for justice that will strike a chord with anyone looking for a robust Christian history of resistance.

The Dhammapada Vol 4 - The Way...

Osho

The Dhammapada is a collection of sayings of the Gautama the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures. This is volume four of a 12-volume series of Osho Talks, where Osho brings Buddha's Dhammapada into the 21st century, opening them for a new understanding for contemporary mankind.
In alternating chapters, Osho comments on specific sutras of Buddha and responds to questions from his audience, deepening the understanding of these timeless works. "My talking on Buddha is not just a commentary: It is creating a bridge. Buddha is one of the most important masters who has ever existed on the Earth - incomparable, unique."
The setting of these talks is an open-air auditorium at the Osho International Meditation Resort in Pune, India. Osho and his audience sit surrounded by trees, and the elements of nature - the chirping of birds, wind, and the cracking bamboos as well as the distant sound of the local Pune-Mumbai morning train - are all parts of these recordings and give them a truly existential flavor.
Osho employs his penetrating insight and wonderful humor to remove the dust of many misunderstandings gathered on Buddha's teachings and again emphasizes meditation over dogma, meditation being Buddha's greatest contribution to the development of human consciousness.
"Buddha transformed the word meditation. Meditation had always been something of the mind, and Buddha brought a new quality, so totally new, diametrically opposite to the old meaning: He said meditation means a state of no mind. It is not concentration; it is not contemplation. It is not thinking; it is not thinking about God. It is not even prayer, because thinking is of the head, intellectual; prayer is emotional. That is another side of the head, not very far away from it - a different language used by another part of the head."
Osho Talks are "meditating talks", allowing the listener an experience of meditation. "These words of Buddha come from eternal silence. They can reach you only if you receive them in silence."

The War In Heaven - One...

Austin J. Hepworth

The Book of Revelation in the Bible mentions a War in Heaven, a war that took place prior to this earth’s existence. This War was waged by Lucifer against God, and has already included many spiritual casualties in its wake, including many who chose to follow Lucifer instead of God. Little is known about the actual details of this War, yet it offers the potential to teach so much about the things of God we often struggle to understand. One soldier in the War is born into a world of hardship, a world where darkness penetrates the depths of his soul. It is only through gaining an understanding of the War, his own pre-mortal history, and principles such as faith and sacrifice that he can finally gain the strength he needs to overcome the darkness inside and rejoin the battle for God's most prized possession.

HELLmira - Hauntings Mysteries...

Christina Fanelli

Fact-based research in Elmira, New York, shows it has a long, rich history that is both dark and glowing with the spirits of yesteryear. From being a stop on the Underground Railroad to housing Camp Rathbun – a Union Army barracks turned Civil War Prison Camp – to harboring the various spirits of those lives taken involuntarily and those who took their own lives, Elmira and her surrounding cities offer more than a couple mysterious and haunting locations to explore. 
Spirits in any locale will linger, emit energy for long periods of time before making themselves known. Sometimes, they do these things out of habit, an unwillingness to admit their current status of mortality. Other times, they can be scary, simply trying to send a message or complete some unfinished business, but with a bit of patience and heart, there is usually a reason to be found. 
So, come visit Elmira and share the adventures with the spirits of those who are among us and the spirits of those who once were.
