  The long-awaited reissue of Alice Coltrane’s original spiritual teachings and reflections, which provide powerful insight into her transcendent music, cherished by millions across the globe.  
  ALICE COLTRANE (1937–2007) was a composer, master of various musical instruments, improviser, spiritual leader, and wife of John Coltrane. Throughout her adult life, she worked within and combined a broad range of musical genres, including gospel, R&B, bebop, free jazz, Indian devotional song, and Western art music. She recorded more than twenty full-length albums for Impulse and Warner Bros. Her music speaks to her experiences as a child playing for church congregations in Detroit; the transcendent and mind-bending avant-garde improvisations she performed with her husband John Coltrane; and her religious pilgrimages to India.  
  When Monument Eternal was originally published in 1977, Alice Coltrane was living in Southern California and had recently become a swami, building and nurturing an alternative spiritual community. In these pages, she says that the book is “based upon the soul’s realizations in Absolute Consciousness and its spiritual relationships with the Supreme One.” Monument Eternal offers deep insight into Coltrane’s tremendous musical output and shines a light on her transformation from Alice McLeod, Detroit church organist and bebopper, to sage thought leader Swami Turiyasangitananda. It also reflects the extraordinary fluidity of American religious customs in the mid- and late-twentieth century.  
  Akashic’s long-awaited reissue of Monument Eternal includes a new foreword by Ashley Kahn.

  Living without Psychology - A...

  Career, love, security, family, country, social cause, reform, revolution, ideology, entertainment, self-reinvention, pursuit of the unknown. Have you ever noticed how these things shape the years and decades not only of our own lives but of humanity, right through old age, regardless of demographic, cultural, and professional differences? Have you ever noticed how all of us - the living, the ancestors and posterity - tread the exact same path across time, from generation to generation, century to century, without ever getting past that one common denominator: our own self-interest? And, what kind of society have we built around our self-interests? Not only are we not profoundly better people but we have also destroyed each other and the world.  
  Long with me, dear friend, to go beyond our self-centered psychological needs, including righteous ones as self-awareness and self-actualization, and to tap into what undoubtedly is the calling of our time: co-operation. At this critical juncture in human history, let us find out what it takes to bring about a level of co-operation unknown to humanity - in allfields including relationship, academia, diet, and environmental change - without which the world stands no chance. 
  This is not a spiritual self-help book but an invitation to free oneself from psychology, in all its traditional and modern forms, so that a new world is built right in the heart of our highly destructive society.

  Is it possible to hold on to faith in an age of unbelief? 
   
   
   
  Intellectual certainty has long been a cornerstone of the Christian faith. But in an age of secularism, skepticism, and cynicism, our worldviews have been shaken. Various solutions exist—some double down on certainty, while others deconstruct their faith until there is nothing left at all. But Brian Zahnd offers a third way: what is needed is not a demolition but instead a renovation of faith. 
   
   
   
  Written with personal and pastoral experience, Zahnd extends an invitation to move beyond the crisis of faith toward the journey of reconstruction. As the world rapidly changes in ways that feel incompatible with Christianity, When Everything's on Fire provides much-needed hope. A stronger, more confident faith is possible when it is grounded in the beauty and truth of Christ. Zahnd permits us to risk the journey of deconstruction so that God can forge something more beautiful in its place.

  Faithfulness - The Steadfast...

  Faithfulness is often regarded as one of the most important virtues a person can possess. At its core, faithfulness is the steadfast commitment to remain loyal, dedicated, and true to something or someone, regardless of the circumstances. It is the ability to stay consistent, even when faced with challenges, doubts, or changes in life. In this chapter, we will explore the essence of faithfulness, its significance in various aspects of life, and how it shapes our relationships and personal growth. 
  To define faithfulness, it is helpful to recognize that it is not merely about being loyal in good times, but rather remaining loyal when things become difficult. It requires a strong sense of conviction and inner strength to uphold commitments, especially when it may seem easier to abandon them. Faithfulness is not about perfection; it is about persistence and dedication over time. It involves a willingness to face obstacles, overcome temptations, and stay true to our promises, even when external pressures try to pull us in different directions. 
  The importance of loyalty cannot be overstated. In every facet of life, loyalty strengthens bonds and builds trust. Whether in relationships, work, or personal pursuits, loyalty fosters a sense of stability and security. It helps to create a foundation of trust that can endure through difficult circumstances. A faithful individual is someone others can rely on, someone whose word holds weight, and someone who consistently demonstrates integrity and commitment. Without faithfulness, relationships would be fragile and fleeting, lacking the depth and resilience that make them meaningful.
