  “The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.” With this bold statement, The Kybalion, attributed to the mysterious Three Initiates, invites readers into a world where ancient wisdom meets universal truth. First published in 1908, the book distills the essence of Hermetic philosophy, a tradition linked to Hermes Trismegistus, the legendary figure seen as a bridge between human consciousness and divine knowledge. 
  At its core, The Kybalion presents the Seven Hermetic Principles: Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. These principles are described as the laws governing both the visible and invisible realms. By understanding them, seekers can align with cosmic patterns, deepen self-mastery, and unlock hidden dimensions of existence. 
  This edition expands upon the original text with valuable insights: commentary and reflections, historical context, advanced Hermetic practices such as Alchemy, Astrology, and Theurgy, comparative analysis with other spiritual traditions, and a Hermetic Q&A for further clarity. 
  Emerging during a wave of fascination with mysticism in the early 20th century, The Kybalion quickly became a cornerstone of Western esotericism. The anonymity of its authors only adds to its allure, leaving readers to wonder at their identities and sources. More than a book, The Kybalion remains a guide to uncovering not only the mysteries of the universe but also the depths of one’s own mind.

  Composing Capital - Classical...

  The familiar old world of classical music, with its wealthy donors and ornate concert halls, is changing. The patronage of a wealthy few is being replaced by that of corporations, leading to new unions of classical music and contemporary capitalism. In Composing Capital, Marianna Ritchey lays bare the appropriation of classical music by the current neoliberal regime, arguing that artists, critics, and institutions have aligned themselves—and, by extension, classical music itself—with free-market ideology. More specifically, she demonstrates how classical music has lent its cachet to marketing schemes, tech firm-sponsored performances, and global corporate partnerships. As Ritchey shows, the neoliberalization of classical music has put music at the service of contemporary capitalism, blurring the line between creativity and entrepreneurship, and challenging us to imagine how a noncommodified musical practice might be possible in today’s world.

  “No other researcher has been able to transmit to the rest of us the true meaning and impact of near-death phenomena for the planet.” —Bruce Greyson, MD, bestselling author of After   “A major contribution that offers a wealth of case materials together with balanced and insightful commentary.” —Raymond A. Moody, PhD, bestselling author of Life After Life   While providing many remarkable accounts of near-death experiences (NDEs), Lessons from the Light is much more than an inspiring collection of NDEs. In clear language, the practical lessons for living and dying are to be found from the study of these experiences. Written by one of the foremost authorities on NDEs, Lessons from the Light is a book for those looking to gain knowledge and wisdom to enhance their own lives by incorporating the insights stemming from what many people have come to believe is the ultimate spiritual experience.   Although Lessons from the Light recounts many moving stories of NDEs, it is not just another book filled with inspiring testimonies—it includes helpful guidance and practical exercises concerning how readers can make use of this knowledge to live with greater self-insight, self-compassion and concern for others, as well as be better prepared for death, dying, and bereavement. Readers can easily apply what they have learned to their own lives and absorb and internalize these lessons from the Light in such a way as to lead to deep personal and spiritual transformation.   This edition replaces the previous edition (ISBN 978-1-930491-11-3) and contains a new postscript by the author.

  The Art of Delivery - The Inside...

  The Art of Delivery ventures inside 10 Downing Street at the turn of the millennium to unveil how Tony Blair's government successfully transformed the public services we value most.
  Though the Blair government had a huge mandate, there remained fundamental challenges to success – not least the Blair–Brown rivalry, which manifested itself in a proxy war over the direction of public service reform. Nevertheless, over four years, the Prime Minister's Delivery Unit, led by Sir Michael Barber, upgraded the way in which the British government implemented improvements to the NHS and the education system. It also represented a watershed for how Prime Ministers engage with the real-world delivery of their priorities.
  Until now, much of this narrative has remained untold. Based on brand-new research and analysis, Michelle Clement uncovers the full story, drawing on 600,000 words of Sir Michael Barber's unpublished, handwritten private diaries as well as exclusive interviews and government papers. Filled with revealing insider detail, this is a human account of what it takes to effect change from behind that famous black door.

  In this profoundly useful work, Janet Patti and Robin Stern make the case for social-emotional learning (SEL) as part of a critical skill set for K–12 school leaders, and they offer coaching on how to integrate emotional intelligence into leadership practices. Patti and Stern draw on recent research from psychology and education, as well as their combined forty years of experience in the fields of SEL and leadership training, to highlight the many benefits of SEL-focused professional development for superintendents, principals, and aspiring school leaders. They also give listeners the tools to develop their own SEL skills. 
   
   
   
  Emotional Intelligence for School Leaders outlines key SEL skills, from mindfulness and self-management to relationship building and conflict resolution, and details how each can be applied in a leadership context. Case studies of a variety of successful educational leaders who employ positive psychology in their work illustrate the strategies they used to cultivate and apply their own SEL skills. 
   
   
   
  This encouraging book underscores how teams that lead with self-awareness and empathy can promote well-being, foster resilience, and prevent burnout among educators and ultimately increase equity in the education system.

  Peig Sayers Vol 1 - Labharfad le...

  'Ach cérbh í Peig Sayers?'
  Níorbh í in aon chor an tseanbhean ologónach í ar chuir na glúnta de dhaltaí scoile aithne uirthi. Is léir ó chuntais uathu siúd arbh eol dóibh í gur bhean ghrámhar thuisceanach í a raibh acmhainn grinn inti; bean a fuair blas ar ghal tobac agus ar bhraoinín fuisce, agus a bhí oilte ar chraiceann a chur ar scéal.
  
  
  Saolaíodh Peig i nDún Chaoin i gCo. Chiarraí i 1873. Thug sí bua na scéalaíochta léi óna hathair agus tugadh a sárchuimhne agus an lé a bhí aici le comhluadar faoi deara go luath. Phós sí iascaire ón mBlascaod agus chaith sí saol cruógach i dteaghlach líonmhar ag déanamh cúraim don seisear leanbh léi a mhair.
  
  
  Tugann Labharfad le Cách le chéile den chéad uair na taifeadtaí a thóg an BBC agus RTÉ uaithi i 1946, 1947 agus 1953, mar aon le haistriúcháin Bhéarla orthu. Léiríonn siad fairsinge repertoire Pheig idir scéalta cráifeacha, paidreacha, scéalta rómánsacha, scéalta faoin osádúr agus cuntais ar an saol a caitheadh tráth ar an oileán ach go bhfuil a chuimhne ag dul i léig anois.
   
  'Who was that Peig Sayers?'
  She was anything but the maudlin and old-fashioned Peig remembered by generations of school children. From the descriptions of those who met her, the real Peig emerges as a warm, wise and humorous woman, with an addiction to tobacco, a fondness for a sup of whiskey and a mastery of the art of 'spin'.
  
  
  Born in Dún Chaoin in County Kerry in 1873, Peig learned the art of storytelling at her father's knee, and quickly became known for her sociable nature and excellent memory. Marrying a fisherman from the Great Blasket, she enjoyed a full life with a large extended family and the care of her six living children.
  
  I Will Speak to You All collects, for the first time, in both Irish and English, the recordings made by the BBC and RTÉ of Peig Sayers in 1946, 1947 and 1953. They illustrate Peig's repertoire, ranging from religious stories and prayers to humorous, romantic, even supernatural tales, as well as descriptions of an island life that is passing from living memory.
