Book Description
This book draws upon the legacy of wisdom from ancient manuscripts, which can have a profound impact on your life. Mankind is oblivious to the extent of the devastation bestowed on the environment, and the fact that we are jeopardising the survival of future generations. There has never been so much violence, crime, corruption, murder and war in the history of mankind. In spite of our triumphs, in terms of scientific discoveries, we are deprived of physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. The state of the outer world reflects the condition of our inner world. This book provides the reader with a renewed epiphany and insight into the extent to which we have strayed from our authentic self or true essence. Our main obstacles are ignorance, apathy and complacency. We are morally bankrupt and the solution to our problem is a soul-ution. Most people are unaware of the fact that we all have the ability to tap into the realm of Divine Universal Energy that surrounds us. We have the ability to live from a soul level; to connect with the sacred and to increase our awareness. The possibility of perfect health, serenity, and inner peace exists within the Spiritual Realm. The choice, to live in this Realm and in harmony with the Universal Laws, comes with certain responsibilities. This book offers guidelines, which will assist you to live with increased joy, purpose, passion and meaning. Applying these principles can make the difference between surviving and thriving.

Book Description
The first English-language popular biography of widely influential northern Renaissance scholar Erasmus of Rotterdam in twenty years. Erasmus of Rotterdam came from an obscure background but, through remarkable perseverance, skill, and independent vision, became a powerful and controversial intellectual figure in Europe in the early sixteenth century. He was known for his vigorous opposition to war, intolerance, and hypocrisy, and at the same time for irony and subtlety that could confuse his friends as well as his opponents. His ideas about language, society, scholarship, and religion influenced the rise of the Reformation and had a huge impact on the humanities, and that influence continues today. This book shows how an independent textual scholar was able, by the power of the printing press and his wits, to attain both fame and notoriety. Drawing on the immense wealth of recent scholarship devoted to Erasmus, Erasmus of Rotterdam is the first English-language popular biography of this crucial thinker in twenty years.

Book Description
"Ignatian Humanism puts into perspective our contemporary search for a spirituality that responds both to our search for meaning and desire for God." -John W. Padberg, S.J., director, Institute of Jesuit Sources "Modras integrates fascinating history, contemporary theology, and inspiring spirituality with consistent focus on central issues for our day." -Joann Wolski Conn, associate professor of religious studies, Neumann College "A stunning book! Modras has profiled a number of Jesuit thinkers and activists as role models for our time-revitalizing humanism as a model for moderns." -Leonard Swidler, professor of Catholic thought and inter-religious dialogue, Temple University Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order, is one of a mere handful of individuals who has permanently changed the way we understand God. In this vividly written and meticulously researched book, Ronald Modras shows how Ignatian spirituality retains extraordinary vigor and relevance nearly five centuries after Loyola's death. At its heart, Ignatian spirituality is a humanism that defends human rights, prizes learning from other cultures, seeks common ground between science and religion, struggles for justice, and honors a God who is actively at work in creation. The towering achievements of the Jesuits are made tangible by Modras's vivid portraits of Ignatius and five of his successors: Matteo Ricci, the first Westerner at the court of the Chinese emperor; Friederich Spee, who defended women accused of witchcraft; Karl Rahner, the greatest Catholic theologian of the twentieth century; Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the scientist-mystic; and Pedro Arrupe, the charismatic leader of the Jesuits in the years following Vatican II.

Book Description
Written by scholars of international stature, Aeolian Winds and the Spirit in Renaissance Architecture presents studies of Renaissance pneumatology exploring the relationship between architecture and the disciplines of art and science. One of the principle goals of Renaissance architects was to augment the powers of pneuma so as to foster the art of well-being. Central to the study of pneumatic architecture are six Italian villas connected together by a ventilating system of caves and tunnels, including Eolia, in which Trento established an academic circle of scholars that included Palladio, Tazzo and Ruzzante. Picking up on current interest in environmental issues, Aeolian Winds and the Spirit in Renaissance Architecture reintroduces Renaissance perspectives on the key relationships in environmental issues between architecture and art and science. This beautifully illustrated and unprecedented study will illuminate the studies of any architecture or Renaissance student or scholar.

Book Description
A call for a paradigm shift in human thinking in recognition of the interconnectedness of all things--a new mind for a new world • Explains how the instability of our current time is part of a larger cycle of human evolution that will soon turn toward renewal and regeneration • Reveals how to participate in the process of conscious evolution to maintain resilience during these transitional times • Examines new findings in quantum physics and quantum biology on the interconnectivity of all life and how to utilize this for conscious evolution For centuries, indigenous wisdom traditions have talked of an epochal shift on the horizon, of a spiritual renaissance for the earth and her living family. Now the timelines are converging and the potential for an energetic “upgrade” for humanity is here, but first we must survive and evolve through the current period of transition. Explaining that evolution is not a gradual process but more like a “shock to the system”--radical waves of transformation after a period of dormancy--author Kingsley Dennis reveals that we are currently undergoing an evolutionary leap and shows not only how to survive but also thrive in this period of global upheaval and change. Examining the nature of evolutionary cycles, he explains that the instability we are now experiencing--climate change, economic meltdowns, and increasing political polarization--is the convergence of complex systems that have reached a critical state. What we need in order to push through to the coming spiritual renaissance is a paradigm shift in human thinking and perception, a conscious evolution in recognition of the interconnectedness of all things--a new mind for a new world. Examining new findings in quantum physics and quantum biology on the interconnectivity of all life as well as opportunities for us to reawaken our slumbering souls, this book offers a glimpse of the new global society to come, a renewed humanity for the 21st century, and how each of us can best participate during the process of planetary transformation.

Book Description
This book is about viewing the great Holy Scriptures through a single filter: That is, from the perspective of a purely loving and non-judgmental creator. It takes and looks some of the common scriptures and re-interprets them and delves back to original meanings and intentions by looking back at the original sources from which they came: The purpose that we are all here for is the pursuit of Truth The challenge to mans pursuit of truth, For we are at a great crossroad, is this; Are we willing to ask the great questions? Are we willing to challenge our most basic beliefs that we have been telling ourselves fir thousands of years? And that have led us inevitably to our state of current affairs? Are we willing to seek, to uncover, To discover truth? This then is the path: If we are to know, to discover Then we must ask- question everything And if we hear a voice telling us not to question a thing, understand that is not gods voice, but mans. As god rejoices in our seeking and will answer us, For to seek truth, is to seek god. And is our purpose. Call to me, and I will answer you, And will tell you great and unsearchable things You do not know. Jeremiah 33:3 For unless we ask We will never discover our gentle god. And until we understand our god to be a purely good, unconditionally compassionate Creator Man cannot see himself as good- in gods image And cannot evolve to the gentle, compassionate being That is our absolute destiny. The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the benevolent goodness of the lord, as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14 Welcome to the journey! Seeking Truth, The poetic language of God and universe.
