  Corpse Care relates the history of death care in the US to craft robust, constructive, practical ethics for tending the dead. It specifically relates corpse care to economic, environmental, and pastoral concerns. 
   
   
   
  Death and the treatment of the dead body loom large in our collective, cultural consciousness. The authors explore the materiality and meaning of the dead body and the living's relationship to it. All the biggest questions facing the planetary human community relate in one way or another to the corpse. Surprisingly, Christian communities are largely missing in the discussion of the dead, having abdicated the historic role in care for the dead to the funeral industry. Christianity has stopped its reflection about the body once that body no longer bears life. Corpse Care stakes a claim that the fact of embodiment, this incarnational truth, this process of our bodily becoming, is a practical, ethical, and theological necessity.

I was also always seeking out people who could answer all the questions I had about life, the universe and everything." After studying film production in the early nineties Prana was able to fulfill his lifelong desire to travel to India. admittedly his first trip changed his life completely and forever.

   The Battle of Britain was not an isolated event. It was the culmination of a series of escalating tensions, military buildups, and ideological confrontations that had been brewing for years. By 1939, Europe was on the brink of war. The world watched as Adolf Hitler's ambitions for territorial expansion grew, and the Nazi regime began implementing its aggressive policies across Europe. 
    
  The rise of Nazi Germany under Hitler was a response to the humiliation the country had suffered after World War I. With the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, Germany was burdened with harsh reparations, which led to economic instability and social unrest. In this environment, Hitler’s National Socialist party capitalized on the public’s desire for national renewal. He began rearming Germany in the early 1930s, violating the treaty’s restrictions and asserting military strength across Europe. 
    
  By the mid-1930s, Britain and France found themselves at odds with Germany’s expanding influence. In 1938, Hitler annexed Austria and then demanded control over Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland. When the Munich Agreement failed to halt his expansionist ambitions, Britain began to realize that appeasement would not work. The threat of war was no longer theoretical; it was imminent.

  Basic Alchemical Meditation -...

  This is a Basic Alchemical Meditation compounded from meditative techniques used by alchemists such as Paracelsus, Basil Valintine, and Jakob Boehme. There are three general steps in the full meditation that correspond to the three phases of alchemy. The first phase is the Nigredo (darkening, death, and putrefaction of the ego), which consists of two operations in which one attempts to Disengage Physically and Disengage Mentally from the world. The second phase is the Albedo (whitening and purification) in which one achieves original innocence or Zero-state Consciousness. The third phase is Rubedo (reddening or empowered integration into a new level of being) that is found in continued Meditation in the Pure Light. 
       Overall, the first two phases represent a progressive resurrection and purification of the light of consciousness to prepare for the transformative, one-pointed “Meditation in the Pure Light” phase. In that phase, alchemists feel they are working with the logoic light to transform reality in not only the inner lab or soul but also in the objective material reality of their “laboratory” or outer world. 
       Whether you are a novice meditator or experienced, the following instructions should be helpful in achieving Meditation in the Pure Light. But feel free to follow your own path in meditation or customize these steps to fit your regimen. The most important lesson is to grasp is the dual nature of our reality—the spiritual and material realms in which we exist. The bridge between those two realms can only be found in the Pure Light—in what Paracelsus called the “True Imagination.”

  The Beauty Of Being Old - The...

  As you stand before the mirror, you may glimpse something unexpected—a reflection that feels familiar and strange. The face staring back at you shows the subtle marks of time. The youthful smoothness is replaced with the creases of age, and hair that once held vibrant color now carries a shade of gray. The body that once moved with ease now speaks in aches and fatigue. With each passing day, it may feel like something is being taken away—a vitality that once felt eternal and is now slipping away. But what if this view of aging is not the full truth? What if, instead of fearing it, we could embrace it? The Buddha often spoke of impermanence, the truth that everything in life always changes. "All conditioned things are impermanent," he taught, and when we see this with wisdom, we can turn away from suffering. In Buddhist thought, aging is not something to resist, but a natural part of life's unfolding. The more we resist it, the more we suffer, because we are fighting against the natural way of the world. It is not aging that causes pain, but our attachment to the belief that things should remain as they were. The fear of aging comes from our desires, from longing for the way things once were. Time moves forward, and so must we. The Buddha reminds us that nothing in this world is permanent, and all things arise and pass away. When we accept this reality, we are free to live with grace and peace. Aging becomes a part of the natural rhythm of life, not something to fear. It is through this acceptance that we find wisdom. As we grow older, we understand that those ahead of us on this journey are simply at a different stage, not different from us. And as we age, we shed the past and move forward with deeper wisdom. The Buddha teaches that the body is not the self, and it is this deeper truth that helps us find peace in the midst of change.
