  In this stunningly transparent memoir, Nanette Larson shares her journey from a life of constant hopelessness and despair, deep depression, crippling anxiety, and suicidality to one full of victorious hope and purpose. Realizing that she had allowed the labels that had been pasted upon her by medical professionals and society alike to define who she was, Nanette changed her perspective by seeing herself through the eyes of her Maker. Taking control of her thoughts was only the first step of a winding road to wellness, however. As a mental health professional herself, Nanette now shares with her readers the techniques that helped her address every part of her being - spirit, soul, and body. From distressed patient to nationally recognized deputy director and ambassador of Wellness and Recovery Services for the Illinois Division of Mental Health, Nanette is living proof that full recovery from mental health issues is, indeed, possible, and a successful, happy, healthy life can be found on the other side of the struggle.

  ""Walden" is a remarkable work by American transcendentalist writer Henry David Thoreau. First published in 1854, it is also known as Walden; or, Life in the Woods. Thoreau's book is a reflection upon his experience of simple living in natural surroundings.    Here are the key points about Walden:    The Experiment:  Thoreau spent two years and two months living in semi-isolation by Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts.  He built a small cabin on land owned by his friend Ralph Waldo Emerson and aimed to live deliberately, focusing on essential facts of life.  The Book:  Walden is a series of essays or meditations.  It begins with "Economy," discussing Thoreau's experiment and the construction of his cabin.  Later essays include "Reading," "Sounds," "Solitude," "Visitors," "Higher Laws," "Winter Animals," and "Spring."  Legacy:  Walden extols the benefits of literature but also encourages mindfulness of sounds and sights in one's own life.  It remains an influential piece of nature writing and is considered Thoreau's masterwork.  Thoreau's description of daily life at Walden Pond, combined with his clear and elegant style, elevates Walden to the status of a literary classic. Support us at https://manifoldmedia.net/donate

  Ancient World’s Most Mysterious...

  Charles River Editors

  To the ancient Egyptians, the gods and goddesses were all around them and could be seen daily in nature. Nearly every animal found in ancient Egypt, both domestic and wild, were associated with a god or goddess, which can be seen in Egyptian art where deities are often depicted with human bodies and animal heads. Or sometimes the deities are portrayed as complete animals. Since deities were associated with certain animals, all animals of a specific species were given divine and protected status. The reverence that ancient Egyptians had for certain animals evolved during the long duration of Pharaonic history until by the Late Period animals of specific species were mummified by the thousands as offerings for their associated deities.  
  Ancient Greece and its mythology has fascinated people for thousands of years, and few elements have intrigued people quite like the Eleusinian Mysteries, which the Greeks believed transformed the initiates and gave them knowledge that eased both the living of life on earth and allayed fears of death, allowing an acceptance of their ultimate fate. The influence of the Eleusinian Mysteries was also far reaching; for example, the Telesterion is reminiscent of the labyrinthine, symbolic structures that can be found all over pre-historic Europe, ranging from those in Ireland to Malta and Crete to the Shetlands. The larger precinct of Eleusis, combining as it did caves, terraces and buildings carved into the rock again, all echo that ancient past.  
  	The cult of Mithras was not a creation of the Romans, although they would eventually add their own rituals and mysteries to the ancient religion. In fact, the Mithraic religion was an Indo-Persian creation, a theology which managed to travel from India and back into the Hellenic and Roman world by way of Alexander the Great’s conquest of the Persian Empire. Eventually, the cult of Mithras would spread across the ancient world.
