How to Be a Conservative
Renowned philosopher Roger Scruton draws on his own experience as a counter-culture presence in public life to explain conservatism in a skeptical age. With soft left-liberalism as the dominant force in Western politics, what can conservatives now contribute to public debate that will not be dismissed as pure nostalgia? In this highly personal and witty book, renowned philosopher Roger Scruton explains how to live as a conservative in spite of the pressures to exist otherwise. Drawing on his own experience as a counter-cultural presence in public life, Scruton argues that while humanity might survive in the absence of the conservative outlook, it certainly won't flourish. How to be a Conservative is not only a blueprint for modern conservatism. It is a heartfelt appeal on behalf of old fashioned decencies and values, which are the bedrock of our weakened, but still enduring civilization.

There's Nothing Like It
The purpose of There's Nothing Like It! is simple yet life-transforming: to call believers to fully live out the Great Commandment of Jesus Christ-to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.More than a devotional, this book is an invitation into a deeper spiritual journey rooted in God's undeniable love. Each page challenges readers to reflect, grow, forgive, serve, and love with greater intention and authenticity. This volume presents Core Value 2-God's Love for Us Is Real, calling those who are ready to faithfully obey Christ to share His light of love with a hurting world.This devotional unfolds in four purposeful sections. Section One, There's Nothing Like Loving Me, explores healthy, God-centered self-love grounded in grace, not arrogance. Section Two, There's Nothing Like Loving You, moves outward, teaching us to love others the way Jesus does-real, raw, and redemptive. Section Three, There's Nothing Like Loving God, calls us upward into renewed worship and wholehearted devotion. Section Four brings the journey full circle, reminding us that every expression of love begins-and is sustained-by Him.There truly is nothing like the love of God.
Identity
Identity: The Way In. The Way Out. is a quiet, first-person inquiry into selfhood, narrative, and the effort of maintaining a coherent sense of "I."Written with deliberate restraint, the book unfolds as a sequence of short reflections that trace how identity forms, hardens, and quietly unravels under psychological pressure. Rather than offering explanation, theory, or solutions, it stays close to lived experience, observing how language, memory, and self-description shape what feels stable and what begins to loosen.The narrative does not seek to resolve questions of identity or transform uncertainty into insight. It does not validate conclusions drawn during periods of psychological distress. Instead, it examines how attention, naming, and interpretation interact in moments of vulnerability, and how certainty itself can become destabilising.This revised edition expands and reorganises the work into a continuous narrative arc, accompanied by minimal symbolic imagery. The emphasis is on observation rather than explanation, allowing readers to recognise familiar patterns of inner experience without being told what to believe or how to recover.This book is not a medical guide and does not replace professional care. It is written for readers who want careful, honest language for what questions of identity can feel like from the inside, and who value clarity, restraint, and precision over advice or reassurance.
Becoming Me
Awakening Creativity, Courage, and Purpose from WithinWho are you, beyond the titles, roles, and expectations?

It's a sacred journey from self-awareness to self-expression, from surviving to truly living. You'll awaken to your divine identity, listen to the stirring within, and rediscover the unseen self-waiting beneath the noise. You'll learn through the cracks of light that pain can be a teacher, and courage your compass. You'll walk through the messy middle where growth stretches and shapes you and embrace the practice of becoming, building rhythms that nurture creativity, clarity, and faith. Ultimately, you'll live The Expression; your most authentic, radiant life, creating ripples that inspire others to do the same. Because becoming isn't a destination, it's a lifelong unfolding.You are both the artist and the masterpiece, always growing, always becoming.

The Healing Power of Boundaries
The Healing Power of Boundaries addresses one of the most misunderstood tensions in faith-based relationships: how to love deeply, forgive sincerely, and remain faithful-without losing yourself in the process.Written from both pastoral experience and personal journey, this book challenges the belief that endurance is always spiritual, silence is always submission, and forgiveness always requires unlimited access. With biblical clarity and compassionate wisdom, Dr. Jean H矇der Petit-Fr癡re reframes boundaries not as walls that divide, but as guardrails that protect love, truth, and dignity.Through Scripture, real-life examples, and thoughtful reflection, readers are guided to understand what boundaries are, why they are often resisted, how they are established and enforced, and what to do when they have been ignored or violated. Special attention is given to marriage, forgiveness, leadership, submission, cultural conditioning, and the misuse of theology that has left many believers exhausted rather than whole.This book does not weaken faith-it restores balance.It does not oppose love-it makes it sustainable.The Healing Power of Boundaries is an invitation to integrated living, where love and truth walk together, grace is paired with wisdom, and relationships become places of healing rather than loss.

At This Time
Constructive conversations about current-day theological educationWhen people talk about how to navigate the changing landscape of theological education, it's common to hear divergent opinions. What's less common is meaningful dialogue. That's what makes At This Time unique: it brings diverse thinkers together to engage in constructive conversations about the meanings and purposes of theological education today.Contributors to At This Time come from many different educational contexts. Some of the contributors work at formally accredited seminaries; others help lead innovative initiatives that create new kinds of opportunities for theological education. But all are attuned to trends in church and society that affect theological learning communities, and all bring years of leadership experience to the table.In its emphasis on critical theological reflection in community, this volume serves as a fitting capstone for the Theological Education between the Times (TEBT) series. Conversations have always been at the heart of the project, and this book brings them more directly to the fore. Here, readers will find essays and dialogues that not only resonate with one another but also crackle with the life and intensity of real-world relationships. The aim of At This Time is to spark equally dynamic conversations among readers who care about theological education's past, present, and future.ContributorsCorwin Malcolm Davis, Grace Y.

Where Are All the Prophets?
Where Are All the Prophets? addresses the end-times Church with a confronting question: has one of the foundational gifts Christ gave to His Body been lost at the very moment it is most needed?Scripture presents Prophets not as optional or peripheral voices, but as an integral part of Christ's provision for the equipping, direction, and preparation of the Church. Yet across much of contemporary church life, the prophetic gift has been marginalised, tightly managed, or removed altogether. This book contends that such absence is not accidental, but deeply consequential - particularly in light of the Church's calling in the last days.Written primarily for the wider Church-pastors, leaders, and believers - this work challenges prevailing assumptions about order, safety, and discernment. It asks whether the Church has confused predictability with maturity, control with wisdom, and fear of misuse with neglect of a gift God intends to restore. Rather than advocating untested or unchecked prophecy, the book calls for a biblical realignment in which Prophets are received, tested, and integrated within healthy, accountable church life.Interwoven throughout the book is a candid, behind-the-scenes account of a Prophet's formation. This biographical thread reveals the largely unseen process by which God prepares His servants through extended seasons of waiting, misunderstanding, correction, obscurity, and delayed fulfilment.Central to Where Are All the Prophets? is an exploration of the many ways God speaks and confirms His word, including Scripture, the inner witness of the Holy Spirit, prophetic impressions, dreams and visions, circumstances, repetition, peace, counsel, and eventual fulfilment. Strong emphasis is placed on biblical testing, discernment, and accountability, ensuring that restoration does not come at the expense of order or truth.Grounded in Scripture and written with urgency, Where Are All the Prophets? presents the restoration of the office of the Prophet as a necessary work of God in preparing His Church for the days ahead - not to elevate individuals, but to ensure the Church is able to hear, discern, and respond to what God is saying in this age.
Cloud of Witnesses
Throughout history, men and women of faith have walked the path we now tread, facing trials, triumphs, and moments of doubt-yet remaining steadfast in their trust in God. This book invites you to journey through the lives of these faithful ones, drawing wisdom, encouragement, and strength for your own walk with Christ.Their stories are not just historical accounts; they are living testimonies of perseverance, obedience, and divine grace. As we learn from their victories and struggles, may our faith be deepened, our purpose renewed, and our hearts inspired to run the race set before us in Jesus' Name.
Authority of the Blood of Jesus
You were created to walk in victory - secured by the blood of Jesus and grounded in God's unchanging truth.We are living in a time of accelerating deception, spiritual confusion, and cultural upheaval. Yet none of this surprises our righteous and sovereign God. Before the foundation of the world, in His perfect wisdom and love, He prepared a redemptive plan through Jesus Christ - a plan rooted in holiness, covenant faithfulness, and the triumph of good over evil. Through His sacrifice, Jesus broke the power of sin, darkness, death, and every weapon formed against God's people.From the Passover meal to His triumphant resurrection, Jesus won decisive victories that are eternally recorded in the Courts of Heaven. These victories were sealed in His Blood Covenant - and as children of God, we have the legal right, spiritual authority, and sacred responsibility to apply them in obedience to His Word.Authority of the Blood of Jesus reveals how Christ gained authority over every scheme of Satan and how believers can enforce these triumphs through faith, Scripture, prayer, and the Sword of the Spirit. This book calls the mature follower of Christ to pursue spiritual growth, walk in righteousness, and align fully with God's Kingdom purposes.Now is the time to rise, reclaim spiritual territory, and advance the Kingdom of God with courage, integrity, and unwavering devotion.Arise, warriors of King Jesus! Stand firm in truth, live in holiness, and let His victory shine through you.
The Teachings of Jesus Unplugged
Release the Spiritual Teachings about Love and Non-violence of Jesus from the grip of the Old Testament and drink the New Wine untainted by the Old Wine. The Spiritual Teachings that Jesus gave of the Universal Way of Love and Non-violence have been heavily influenced and distorted over the years by the influence and God of the Old Testament. The Teachings of Jesus Unplugged is my dedicated work to assist followers of Jesus to untangle themselves from the confusing, conflicting accounts that they often receive from Judeo/Christian churches about Him and the source of Perfect Love that He was at one with. Old Testament Jewish overlays and redundant terminology have been removed to clarify and reveal His main Spiritual Teachings and Way of Love. Poor translations of the Gospels have been sharpened and cleansed of any misleading inflections. His Way of becoming a Spiritual child on Earth is really very simple but complexities and misleading understandings are still being taught and placed over them and many have left the Judeo/Christian churches because on this poor representation of who He really was, who the source of His inspiration really was and what He was really Teaching. This book presents Jesus and His correct Teachings in a clearer more truthful and direct way bringing to life His main important Spiritual instructions with no ambiguity. This is just about the New Wine understanding of our Spiritual Life on Earth that He taught. He said, "Never mix this New Wine understanding of Spirituality with the Old Wine understanding or it will be tainted and you will lose the correct understanding of what I am Teaching." I have brought the New Wine out of the Old Wine and I hope it assists followers of Jesus and His Way of Love and Non-violence to be more empowered to live a Spiritual Life on Earth.

Participatory Process Monism
The contemporary philosophy of mind finds itself at an impasse. Reductive materialism cannot account for the felt quality of conscious experience; substance dualism fractures reality into incompatible domains; and emergentist theories struggle to explain how subjective awareness arises from objective physical processes. The "hard problem" of consciousness remains stubbornly unsolved.Participatory Process Monism: A Philosophical Framework offers a way forward by drawing on intellectual resources largely unexplored in Western philosophical discourse. The book integrates three major currents of Islamic metaphysics-Ashʿarite temporal atomism and occasionalism, Mullā Ṣadrā's doctrine of substantial motion and the primacy of existence, and Ibn ʿArabī's vision of continuous creation and theophanic disclosure-into a coherent contemporary framework that addresses the deepest questions about mind, matter, and meaning.The result is a dual-aspect monism in which consciousness and physical structure are not separate substances but inseparable poles of a single processual reality. Rather than treating experience as an inexplicable addition to a fundamentally non-experiential universe, this framework positions consciousness as ontologically primitive-present, in graded degrees, throughout nature. The notorious "combination problem" that plagues panpsychist theories is addressed through the Akbarian insight that apparent multiplicity participates in an underlying unity through continuous divine self-disclosure (tajallī).The author engages substantively with contemporary science-quantum mechanics, quantum biology, neuroscience, and cosmology-demonstrating that Participatory Process Monism provides interpretive frameworks that illuminate otherwise puzzling phenomena: the role of observation in quantum measurement, coherence effects in biological systems, and the "unreasonable effectiveness" of mathematics in describing nature.The book offers a careful comparative analysis that distinguishes this framework from physicalism, idealism, Whiteheadian process philosophy, integrated information theory, and other prominent positions. It addresses theological, philosophical, scientific, and methodological objections with rigour and intellectual honesty, acknowledging limitations while demonstrating the framework's systematic coherence and explanatory power.Participatory Process Monism will be of interest to philosophers of mind and science, scholars of Islamic intellectual history, theologians exploring the interface of science and religion, and general readers seeking a philosophically sophisticated vision that integrates empirical knowledge with contemplative wisdom. It represents the mature expression of a research program developed across the author's previous works, offering both a comprehensive theoretical statement and an invitation to further inquiry.
Biblical Prophecy
BIBLICAL PROPHECYBiblical prophecy, on a lot of people's minds lately with Israel being a viable nation once again, and dealing with enemies all around them. People want to know why they are having trouble with everyone hating them so much. I try to answer this question, about Israel, and why they are God's chosen people, and have prevailed for over 5,000 years. This includes why they are able to withstand the persecution; this persecution being worldwide. I also portray how the Church and other individuals relate to Israel, and what the future is for them all.I was raised in a church, but I didn't know very much about Biblical prophecy. But then as a twenty-something that was searching for the meaning of life and why there had to be war all the time, I was concerned about what was going to be the world's fate. Then getting right with God, the verse in the Bible became very real to me; searching for the meaning of life and longing for peace. So I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior, immersed myself in the new church that taught biblical prophecy.I also learned in this church that I had been given the gift of discernment by the Holy Spirit and started writing about the things I was learning.I then attended the seminary that the college had; after the systematic theology classes, a few paragraphs I had written to be handed in for each section of theology. Those sections became my first book, Mahler's Theological Compendium (WestBow Press, Bloomington, Indiana)-2014.It was not too long after that I was writing a book warning people of the wrath to come upon this world we live in, entitled, What in the World is Going to Happen (WestBow Press, Bloomington, Indiana)-2016.That book was in Greek tragedy form and later considered to be rather sad. So I wrote a more positive one entitled, Eschatology Unlimited (WestBow Press, Bloomington, Indiana)-2018. It gives insight into a Christian future in New Jerusalem.I retained the idea of writings that were languishing in the hard drive of my computer that I had been doing for fun, and it became Mahler's Theological Compendium II (WestBow Press, Bloomington, Indiana)-2021.I then felt like putting more writings that I had been doing for fun, and it continued so for many years that another compendium entitled Mahler's Theological Compendium III (WestBow Press, Bloomington, Indiana)-2024.This book that I am writing, published right now, was written after I had taken a seminar about biblical prophecy which gave me awesome answers to my questions which have been put into print in this present book entitled Biblical prophecy.

This book presents the essence of Shankaracharya's vision by carefully unfolding his core teachings on non-duality, the nature of the Self, ignorance and knowledge, and the path to liberation. Rather than offering a literal translation, it provides a thoughtful interpretation that preserves the depth of classical wisdom while making it intelligible to contemporary minds.The philosophy of Adi Shankaracharya is presented here not merely as an abstract metaphysical doctrine, but as a practical inquiry into consciousness and reality. Readers are guided through the foundational principles of Advaita Vedanta, including the distinction between the transient and the eternal, the role of self-knowledge, and the recognition of Brahman as the ultimate reality. Complex ideas are explained with precision and coherence, making this book suitable for sustained self-study and philosophical reflection.Unlike many technical or purely academic works, this volume bridges the gap between scholarship and readability. It is ideal for readers searching for books by Adi Shankaracharya that offer interpretation rather than dense commentary, as well as for those encountering Vedanta for the first time. At the same time, it serves as a valuable companion for serious students of Indian philosophy who wish to deepen their understanding of Shankaracharya's non-dual vision.Among the modern works inspired by the teachings and works of Adi Shankaracharya, this book emphasizes inner inquiry and clarity of understanding as the means to awakening. It situates Advaita Vedanta within a universal philosophical context, showing its relevance to enduring questions about identity, consciousness, and freedom.Designed for a global readership, Awakening Through Vedanta is appropriate for university libraries, philosophy and religion collections, spiritual study groups, and individual seekers. It functions both as an introduction to Shankaracharya's thought and as a reflective guide for readers already familiar with Vedantic ideas.For those seeking Adi Shankaracharya books that combine timeless wisdom with modern clarity, this work offers a meaningful and well-structured presentation of Advaita Vedanta as a living philosophy of awakening.
Japanese Folk Lore & Kami Traditions
Sacred Spirits, Ancestral Beliefs, and Cultural Practices Rooted in Japanese Heritage At dawn in a quiet neighborhood, a doorway is swept. Water is poured. A rope of twisted straw marks a threshold where the ordinary pauses and something unseen is quietly acknowledged. In Japan, spirituality has never been confined to temples alone-it lives in gestures, seasons, stories, and the land itself. Japanese Folk Lore & Kami Traditions is an immersive exploration of Japan's living spiritual landscape, where mountains listen, ancestors remain present, and everyday actions carry sacred meaning. Rather than presenting Shinto and folklore as distant belief systems, this book reveals them as relational practices-ways of noticing, caring, and belonging shaped by place, memory, and community. Blending anthropology, folklore, and narrative storytelling, the book guides readers through: The meaning of kami as presence rather than doctrine Sacred landscapes-mountains, rivers, trees, and stones-as living participants in daily life Household altars, ancestral remembrance, and seasonal rhythms Folktales as cultural memory systems that encode ethics and survival Festivals, processions, symbols, and material markers of the sacred Syncretism between Shinto, Buddhism, and local practice Regional traditions and modern adaptations of ancient beliefs Written with warmth, clarity, and deep respect, this is not a how-to ritual manual nor a romanticized overview. Instead, it offers readers a thoughtful framework for understanding Japanese folk spirituality on its own terms-without appropriation, oversimplification, or exoticism. Whether you are a student of culture, a reader drawn to mythology and folklore, a traveler seeking deeper context, or simply curious about how meaning is woven into everyday life, Japanese Folk Lore & Kami Traditions invites you to slow down, listen closely, and step gently across a threshold into a world where spirit and daily life are inseparable.
Celtic Folk Magic Traditions
Long before written spells or modern spirituality, Celtic folk magic lived in the land itself-in forests and fields, sacred wells and standing stones, and the turning of the seasons. Celtic Folk Magic Traditions invites you into this ancient world, where spiritual life was shaped by nature, myth, and the quiet wisdom of the earth. Drawing from Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and Breton traditions, this book explores how Celtic communities understood protection, balance, and sacred connection through nature-based practices and seasonal observances. These traditions honored sacred landscapes, symbolic plants, fire and water, and the rhythms of the natural world as expressions of spiritual awareness. Rather than presenting modern spellwork or rigid systems, this book offers cultural and historical context-revealing how folklore, symbolism, and ancestral practice shaped everyday life and spiritual identity across Celtic lands. If you feel drawn to old-world wisdom, sacred landscapes, and traditions rooted in land and season, this book offers a meaningful way to explore Celtic heritage. It provides depth without sensationalism, reverence without dogma, and knowledge without exaggerated claims. Through a calm, reflective lens, Celtic Folk Magic Traditions helps you understand how reverence for nature, seasonal rhythm, and sacred space once guided Celtic spiritual life-quietly, intentionally, and deeply. Step into the ancient world of Celtic folk traditions and discover the wisdom preserved through land, myth, and memory. Celtic Folk Magic Traditions is an invitation to learn, reflect, and reconnect with the sacred practices that shaped Celtic life for generations.
Karmic Law God's Will in Action
Most books on karma only tell you what karma is-a system where you reap what you sow. This book tells you what it is and how it works and why it works the way it does. This book tells you the mechanics and dynamic of karma. It also explains that accidents are not karma.
Tract 10 - The Sign of Jonah
The question as to how long Christ remained in the tomb, and the day on which He was buried and resurrected, has been as widely discussed as any other Biblical subject. A number of theories have been advanced and doubtless much valuable time has been wasted; however, confusion upon the subject has not lessened, but rather increased.One of the chief reasons why confusion arises among Bible students is because they do not entirely depend on the Biblical expression of the words. They think themselves wiser than the prophets who were inspired with the Spirit of God, and thus wish to correct the words and meaning of the Holy Bible! Hence finite mortals have attempted to rectify and correct the Infinite One, whose wisdom, power, and vision is unsearchable! Though they know their interpretation of a text is not altogether in harmony with the whole tenor of the book and law, they see no injury, and fear not God. And when the fact is revealed they refuse to exchange error for truth because it contradicts their false theology. We invite the earnest attention of the reader upon this subject, and that he take notice of the wonderful harmony of the Scriptures and the great wisdom used in them.
Father Candido Amantini
Candido died with a Rosary in his hands, not as a mere exterior devotion, but with the entirety of the Gospel that it contains-in his hands, mind, and heart-for it had formed him to be the man of God that he was and remains in everlasting life. (From the Foreword)The Servant of God, Fr. Candido Amantini (1914-1992), was a Passionist priest who spent himself tirelessly working as an exorcist at the Sanctuary of the Holy Stairs in Rome. He is most widely known as the person who trained Fr. Gabriele Amorth in the ministry of exorcism. The legacy of this Servant of God serves a great purpose. While anyone with experience in the ministry of exorcism can recount supernatural phenomena they have personally witnessed, it is often overlooked, by those who hear these stories, that exorcists spend most of their time working quietly, tediously, and virtuously as they strive valiantly to aid those who are suffering. It is with this in mind that the author of this book brings to life the Servant of God, Fr. Candido Amantini. After just a few pages into the book, it becomes clear that Amantini was endowed with an extraordinary degree of virtue. He was always present with a smile, a word of comfort, and a consolation; he gave hope to countless people who had no hope. This work, as with any which feature the life of a saint-makes one desire to imitate Fr. Amantini and to grow in holiness after his example. This book is not simply a biography of Fr. Amantini: it is a work of spirituality. Its purpose is to assist the reader to grow in holiness, to gain wisdom, and to deepen the virtue of hope. The life of the Servant of God, Fr. Candido Amantini, shows us what it means to be happy, to be free, and to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ.Andrea Maniglia (Monteroni di Lecce, 1988) obtained a Bachelor's degree in Theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) in Rome, as well as a Licentiate in Theology with a specialization in Theological Anthropology and a Doctorate in Theological Anthropology (conducting research on the Mariology of the Calabrian theologian Stefano De Fiores, 1933-2012) from the Pontifical Theological Faculty Teresianum in Rome. He is a Religion teacher for the Archdiocese of Milan and collaborates with various Catholic journals. He has authored several publications of a hagiographic nature.

Notebook R
Notebook R: Human Relations is a book of aphorisms that examines the depth and the scope of human relations in different contexts, whether it is between family members, friends or strangers. While the author, Yunus Tuncel, dives into the background of these relations, it brings out the uncanny in these relations, the link between the familiar and the unfamiliar, their conflict and reconciliation in the ever-changing landscape of relations. In what ways are human relations limiting and repressing, and in what ways are they liberating and enhancing? As some of the aphorisms address these all too human questions and problems, some others investigate power structures in relations, whether they be lateral or vertical. In short, the aphorisms of the book plunge into the often unspoken chasms that lie among human beings.
Buddha and His Legacy
A comprehensive narrative history of Buddhism-from Siddhartha's awakening to the age of AI and mindfulness apps.In 483 BCE, an eighty-year-old teacher died beneath a sal tree in northern India. Today, more than 2,500 years later, over 500 million people follow his path. But the full story of how the teachings of one wandering ascetic became a global religion remains largely unknown outside specialist circles.Who was the Buddha as a human being?Buddha and His Legacy uncovers the journey of the prince who abandoned privilege, confronted suffering, and spent forty-five years reshaping how millions understood reality. Unlike traditional devotional texts or dense academic monographs, this book tells the complete story in a single, accessible narrative.Tracing Buddhism from its origins in ancient India to its global presence today, the book follows the transformations that carried the Buddha's insight across empires, cultures, and centuries-from Indian philosophers and Tibetan yogis to Japanese warrior-monks and the rise of Western mindfulness.This book explores fascinating historical questions: Why did princes become beggars?How did a religion of peace spread through warrior kingdoms?Why do neuroscientists now study monks' brains?How did Buddhism evolve from a radical reform movement into the diverse traditions of Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana?Written for the general reader but grounded in rigorous scholarship, this volume synthesizes insights from archaeology, history, and anthropology. It treats Buddhism as both philosophy and religion, historical force and personal practice-without advocating for conversion.Includes: A detailed chronology, glossary of key terms, bibliography for further reading, and descriptive map overviews to guide you through the historical landscape.For readers of narrative history and Eastern philosophy, this is an essential exploration of how one man's insight became one of the world's most influential traditions.
Mental Health & ANCIENT EGYPTIAN PSYCHOLOGY
Discover the world's earliest documented system of transpersonal psychology-a comprehensive science of consciousness transformation recorded in ancient Egypt over 3,200 years ago. This groundbreaking volume presents Dr. Muata Ashby's original trilinear hieroglyphic translations of Sage Amenemopet's sacred Instructions, revealing profound insights into human psychology and systematic methods for achieving both earthly well-being and spiritual enlightenment. The Teachings of Amenemopet constitute a sophisticated psychological framework addressing how consciousness forgets its divine nature and becomes trapped seeking fulfillment through external means. Through verse-by-verse analysis integrating ancient wisdom with contemporary neuroscience research, this work demonstrates how humanity's oldest wisdom traditions anticipated modern discoveries about consciousness and mental health by millennia. What Makes This Volume Unique: ORIGINAL TRILINEAR TRANSLATIONS: Each verse presented in original hieroglyphics, phonetic transliteration, and contextual interpretation-providing unprecedented access to authentic wisdom while maintaining scholarly precision. COMPREHENSIVE COMMENTARY FRAMEWORK: Twenty-six detailed chapter commentaries examine teachings through five integrated perspectives: Human Psychology Principles, Behavioral Imperatives, Mystic Psychology-Metaphysical Implications, Transpersonal Psychology Research, and Spiritual Implications for Aspirants. THE CONSCIOUSNESS ARCHITECTURE MODEL: Learn the ancient Egyptian understanding of mind levels-Hat (conscious awareness), Ab (unconscious mind containing aryu/karmic patterns), and Kara (divine sanctuary where Ab Neter/soul consciousness resides). This framework explains how transformation operates through removing obstructions to reveal divine consciousness already present within. RESEARCH VALIDATION: Extensive integration of contemporary neuroscience studies validates ancient insights through modern empirical research, demonstrating how 3,200-year-old teachings align with current findings from leading consciousness researchers. PRACTICAL TRANSFORMATION METHODS: Each commentary includes specific practices, meditation techniques, and behavioral modifications addressing modern challenges-transforming reactive patterns, cultivating inner silence, progressing from "heated" agitation to "silent" wisdom consciousness. SPECIAL TOPIC ESSAYS: In-depth explorations of crucial themes including the psychology of frustration, narcissistic consciousness patterns, responding to injury, the discipline of slowness, and the complete pathway from suffering to enlightenment. Who Will Benefit: Students of ancient wisdom traditions, mental health professionals exploring transpersonal psychology, spiritual practitioners wanting systematic transformation methods, scholars researching psychological history, and anyone struggling with chronic dissatisfaction or reactive patterns. The ancient sages taught that genuine well-being emerges through discovering "the fullness of the Creator-Spirit that is within"-the divine consciousness (Ab Neter) sustaining all mental operations yet hidden beneath accumulated karmic patterns. This volume provides the complete philosophical framework, empirical validation, and practical methodology for achieving this recognition, offering guidance as relevant today as when first inscribed in the temples of Kamit. Whether approached as scholarly study, spiritual practice manual, or psychological development guide, readers discover systematic instruction for moving consciousness from identification with temporary mental-emotional fluctuations to recognition of its essential nature as universal divine awareness-the transformation representing complete mental health and enlightenment according to humanity's most ancient wisdom tradition.

The Wandering Beloved
Wanna know what the real problem is? It's God.Deep down, in that quiet place of the heart, the problem isn't doubt-it's disappointment. Hurt by the church. Betrayed by leaders. Embarrassed by how "Christians" behave. So I walked away. For more than a decade, I left God behind and chased success, money, and happiness instead. I blamed God for the wounds His people caused me.But that wasn't God.What followed was not a return to religion-but an unexpected pursuit. Through the army, coaching professional hockey in Europe, serving victims of war in Burma, and a long, lonely walk across Spain, I began to encounter a God I didn't recognize. Not a rule-keeper. Not a tradition-enforcer. A God after the heart.In the middle of depression and doubt, faith didn't come from a warm feeling or a church service. It came through reason, evidence, and a hard, honest reckoning with reality. God wasn't just real-He was good.Want to know if God is actually real? Want to meet the real Jesus?Come on an adventure in this ten year anniversary edition.

Prophesy Fulfilled
For centuries, Israel lived in expectation of a coming Messiah-one who would restore God's people, defeat evil, heal the world, and establish an everlasting kingdom. The Hebrew Scriptures formed this hope through covenants, prophecies, symbols, and sacred patterns that shaped Israel's identity and destiny. Yet the arrival of Jesus of Nazareth created the greatest interpretive divide in religious history: Christians proclaim Him as the promised Messiah, while Judaism continues to await fulfilment.Prophesy Fulfilled approaches this divide with intellectual seriousness, reverence for Israel's Scriptures, and deep theological clarity. Rather than treating prophecy as a collection of isolated predictions, Matthew Sardon demonstrates that the messianic hope emerges as a unified covenantal pattern-seed, king, prophet, servant, priest, Son of Man-woven deliberately through Israel's history. These strands converge not by coincidence or creative reinterpretation, but through a single divine authorship guiding salvation history toward its fulfilment.The book traces this pattern from Genesis to the Prophets, through the life, teaching, suffering, death, resurrection, and exaltation of Jesus, and into the remaining promises Scripture holds open: resurrection, judgment, universal peace, and renewed creation. Jewish objections to Jesus' messianic identity are treated respectfully and rigorously, engaging Second Temple expectations, rabbinic concerns, and the theological weight of covenant faithfulness. Christianity's claim is presented not as a rejection of Israel, but as fidelity to the promises entrusted to her.Written for thoughtful readers-Christians seeking deeper scriptural coherence, Jewish readers examining Christian claims with seriousness, and skeptics weighing the evidence-Prophesy Fulfilled argues that the messianic hope of Israel finds its coherence, depth, and completion in Jesus Christ. The Messiah who came in humility has inaugurated redemption, and the promises spoken long ago press forward toward their final consummation.

Shadows Presenting the Tavneet
The title of the book is to show that it represents Shadows and patterns of Heavenly activities and thoughts. I spent nearly four year producing this work. My intent was to offer up theories and conclusions that are meant to solve so many issues in this field of study. I want to get behind the curtain, so to speak, on troubling Biblical understandings. My intent is to show that the realities are projecting themselves into our realm.
