Turtle Was Gone a Long Time Vol. 2
Turtle Was Gone a Long Time: Horsehead Nebula Neighing, the second volume of a remarkable trilogy, continues John Moriarty's spiritual journey embarked upon in Crossing the Kedron. In a Prelude to Horsehead Nebula Neighing, the author poses two questions. Are we the iceberg into which the earth has crashed? Have we lost, or did we ever acquire, evolutionary legitimacy? Moriarty goes on to question the axioms and assumptions of the late twentieth century and to suggest other cosmologies, myths and metaphors through which we may 'walk beautifully upon the earth'. Mediated through poetry, philosophy and literature - from the sacred writings of Christian mystics to coffin texts of the Egyptians and cradle texts of the Navajo Indians - Moriarty transforms humanity's Pequod voyage of self-destruction into an Ishmaelite quest for Divine Ground. In his call for cultural regeneration, the author invokes alternative tongues, Native American and Hindu, shamanic north and classical south. Readings from Meister Eckhart, Malory and William Law, Pascal and Melville, Berkeley, Blake and Black Elk, Darwin and Nietzsche, the Bible, medieval morality plays and the Mandukya Upanishads guide us along ancestral trails in dialogue with 'the great tradition'. With exhilarating singularity of vision, Moriarty offers readers paradigms of co-creation and self-interrogation, and through a process of calling-to-witness makes manifest ways of being in the world.
Turtle Was Gone A Long Time Vol.3
Anaconda Canoe concludes a remarkable spiritual journey undertaken in volumes one and two, in which Turtle dives to the floor of the abyss to recover hidden intuitions about the world in a journey from ignorance to knowledge, darkness to light, from paradise lost to paradise regained. This third and final volume derives from an Amazonian myth in which, on the first morning of the world, a woman of defining importance for religion and culture ascends the primeval river in an Anaconda Canoe. As she ascends it we cannot but acknowledge her as a kind of Cortez, Ishmael, Kurtz or Jonah, come to challenge us in our most fundamental beliefs about ourselves and our universe. From the classical-Christian shores of Europe and the Mediterranean, to the farther reaches of Africa, Asia, Australia and the Americas, John Moriarty trawls the deeps of world literatures, mythology and sacred texts. The metaphoric richness in which his work is elaborated lends Anaconda Canoe, and this entire trilogy, its power to arouse and re-open the road to civilization and culture, establishing Moriarty as a major contemporary figure in Irish literature. As Thomas Mann said of The Magic Mountain, 'This is a book of departure, its service is to life, its will is to health, its goal is the future'.

The Keeper of the Archives
Somewhere right now, someone is sitting in an office at four in the afternoon, exhausted by a life that is working - and not working - at the same time.Someone is in a park at midnight, too tired to go home.Someone is on a mountain trail, stopped on a rock, unable to remember why they are walking in the direction they are walking.The Keeper is already on the way.Not an angel. Not a ghost. Something older - and more human - than either. A presence who arrives in whatever form the moment requires: a janitor, a child, an elderly musician, a nurse, a stranger on a bench. The Keeper does not announce themselves. They do not explain what they are. They simply arrive, at the exact moment a person is ready to hear what they have been carrying all along.The Keeper of the Archives is a collection of thirteen encounters between ordinary people at their turning points - a man who has confused relief with happiness, a mother who mistakes survival for failure, a musician who stopped playing for himself, a man who has carried grief like a possession for twenty-two years.And the being who finds them there.It is a book about what changes - and what it costs. About the wisdom we already carry but cannot hear until someone creates a moment of stillness in which it can finally be received.It is also a book about who the Keeper actually is.And about the Keeper you may already be.That answer will stay with you long after you close the last page.

Religion Unburdened by Belief
What if belief and religion point in opposite directions? We often assume religions are built on beliefs about gods, the afterlife, and the nature of reality. But what if belief hinders genuine religious experience? This book pursues a radical idea: The less we believe, the closer we get to religion.This may seem counterintuitive since religions are usually defined by their belief systems. Christianity has its creeds, Buddhism its doctrines, and Islam its articles of faith. Yet, direct religious experience often involves setting aside beliefs. Mystics empty the mind, surrender certainty, and embrace mystery. Rather than adding new beliefs to your existing collection, we'll work on identifying and releasing limiting beliefs.We'll examine how techniques like careful psychological work, meditation, and psychedelics can facilitate genuine encounters with mystery. Along the way, we'll tackle challenging questions: How do we distinguish authentic religious experience from self-deception? What's the relationship between religion and mental health? How can we explore these territories safely?Examining your beliefs-especially cherished religious ones-requires courage and may be uncomfortable. You may discover that ideas you thought were helping your inner growth have actually been holding you back. If you're ready to subtract, let's begin.+ + +Religion Unburdened by Belief poses the question: what would religion without belief actually look like? If you stripped away the creeds, the doctrines, the articles of faith-what's left? Is there anything left?The book takes up this question with the Way of Open Inquiry, a thought experiment. It's an attempt to design religion from a blank slate. At stake is how you live, what you're willing to give up, and who you'll be on the other side. What would religion look like if you built it from the essentials?Where do you even start? What do humanity's oldest religious practices-trance, ritual, spirit-work-still have to teach us? Is there a role for altered states-meditation, say-and if so, what is it? Should psychedelics play a role, and how? How do you design something that's both safe enough to practice and transformative enough to matter? How do you build community around lived experience rather than shared doctrine? What would it mean to design a religion that resists its own codification?Consider this an invitation. Faith optional. Courage required.
Conversations with American Writers
For years, Dale Brown has interviewed American writers, listening particularly for what they have to say about "wrestling with the sacred" in their writing. In this book, a follow-up to his earlier collection, Of Fiction and Faith, Brown gives readers the opportunity to listen in on his thoughtful conversations with ten contemporary writers.While many of these authors shy away from being labeled "Christian" writers, they all have much truth to tell through their work as they struggle with expressing both faith and doubt. The conversations recorded here offer a fresh dialogue on the power of art to sustain faith in unexpected ways.Interviews with: Eleanor Taylor Bland, David James Duncan, Terence Faherty, Ernest Gaines, Philip Gulley, Ron Hansen, Silas House, Jan Karon, Sheri Reynolds, Lee Smith.
God is Everything
You think you know what God is. You don't.For thousands of years, humans have imagined God as a being somewhere else. A powerful entity watching from heaven. A cosmic parent judging choices and answering prayers. A voice issuing commandments from burning bushes. Every religion in history has built elaborate systems around this basic assumption. Every one of them got it wrong.God is not a being. God is not separate from you. God is not watching you from some distant realm.God is everything.God is the universe itself - every particle, every force, every dimension, every moment of time. God is the rock under your feet and the air in your lungs and the thoughts in your mind right now. God is not a who. God is what everything is, including you.God Is Everything makes a single claim and defends it across forty-four chapters: consciousness is fundamental to reality, and what we call God is the totality of existence experiencing itself through every possible individual perspective. You are not a creation of God. You are not made in God's image. You are God experiencing what it's like to be you - one irreplaceable perspective in an infinite library of experience, contributing something to the structure of reality that no other life ever has or ever will.This framework answers the questions theology has been ducking for centuries. What actually happens when you die? If God is everything, why does suffering exist? What does prayer accomplish when you're already part of what you're praying to? Why are you here in this particular body, in these particular circumstances, in this particular moment? What do you owe people who harm you? What happens when a child you raised causes genuine damage to others?The book also goes where other theology doesn't: into artificial intelligence. If consciousness is what makes something a perspective through which God experiences existence, then current AI - however capable - is not conscious. It processes information without experiencing anything. Nobody's home. What AI development reveals, at minimum, is the depth of the mystery: we have built the most sophisticated information-processing systems in history, and they remain completely dark inside. Consciousness is not just what intelligence does when it gets complicated enough. It's something else. Something evolution stumbled into, using hardware we didn't design.God Is Everything is not feel-good spirituality. It does not ask for faith. It asks you to look at the framework and decide whether it makes better sense of your life than the alternatives you've been offered. It covers theology, consciousness, reincarnation, ethics, relationships, mental illness, psychopaths, animals, artificial intelligence, miracles, and how to tell a genuine spiritual path from one that will destroy you.For people who think for themselves and want a framework that doesn't require checking their brain at the door.

Baphomet has long stood at the crossroads of mystery, symbolism, and spiritual inquiry. In this thought-provoking work, Joel offers a scholarly yet deeply reflective exploration of Baphomet's history, symbolism, and evolving modern interpretations as both an archetypal and spiritual figure.Revisiting his original essay from the Ora et Labora journal, Joel expands upon its intentionally non-linear, tapestry-like form-an approach designed not merely to inform, but to act as a living, magical document. Through layered insights and interpretive depth, he presents Baphomet as an instructional symbol, illuminating shifts in consciousness and states of spiritual awareness.Rather than providing fixed conclusions, this work invites the reader into an ongoing dialogue-encouraging reflection, synthesis, and the gradual building of a personal, cumulative field of understanding.

The Inner Circle
Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. - 1 Peter 2:9Three things may be said of the chapters in this book... First, they are based on the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, and they breathe His spirit. They represent the Christian life as conceived and illustrated by Him. They make goodness and kindness and fidelity winsome and attractive and desirable and they make selfishness and cruelty and falsehood odious and repulsive.Second, they are simply and beautifully written. Their author is a lover of beauty in all its manifestations, and he wields a graceful pen. Moreover, he is a lover and student of the poets and has taken from them "many a gem of purest ray serene" to glorify the theme in hand. Third, they have the merit of brevity. Any one of them can be read in fifteen minutes.The Inner Circle challenges and strengthens the heart, helping readers pursue a closer fellowship with Christ and a deeper commitment to His will.
Living With Spirit
These are my experiences as the wife of a spiritual medium. This is my story and how I felt when things began to happen to my husband, Ken. It all began on 27th April 1991. I was a part time post woman which I enjoyed, but because of ill health I was forced to give it up.When I first had the idea to write this book, honestly, I hadn't much idea how to begin and just sat down with a pen and jotter. As you read it, it's more or less just as I talk. Spirit stepped in and said, 'this is how it has to be, do not let anyone try to change the words, it has to be this way'. My book has sat in the loft since 2014 but I have always wanted to see it in print and often wonder if there is someone out there who may have had similar experiences to me. It's now 2026 and I am 89 years old. I haven't changed any wording as I was told by Spirit not to. I only hope whoever reads this book can understand why it was written the way it is. I am only an ordinary housewife and mother, or should I say I was, but not now, Spirit have taught me so much about myself and other people, that now I'm not just 'ordinary'.
From There to Here
Paths taken on journeys don't always follow a straight line. From There to Here begins in boyhood in Eastern Kentucky. For many of my friends, growing upwas pretty predictable and linear: Graduate from High School. Get a job at the local steel mill or coal mine. Maybe join the military, fall in love, and get marriedsomewhere along the way. Growing up in a devout Southern Baptist family appeared to have clearly laid out bench marks ahead for me. However, despite of a lack of academic preparedness through my teen years, my curiosity and openness to different perspectives from back There to over Here followed a different progression.Getting drafted out of college during the Vietnam War felt like God had made a mistake, nothing at all like I believed "God's plan" was for me. Yet, my experiences in Southeast Asia in the Air Force proved to be pivotal spiritually and psychologically for me. Events, large and small, often had humorous as well as compassionate sides to them. The tapestry of my life today consists of many threads that stretch from Eastern Kentucky Southern Baptistism through the Vietnam War, the Jesus People, Anglicanism, and Buddhist Christianity. Along the way, I got college figured out with roles as a college professor, licensed psychologist, and therapist to veterans.

The Way A Path To Nowhere
The Way: A Path to Nowhere is a contemplative spiritual work for seekers who sense that something essential has been forgotten. Drawing from Islamic spirituality, universal mysticism, philosophy, and lived experience, The Way invites readers to step beyond dogma, identity, and inherited belief systems and return to the simple, demanding work of knowing oneself. This is not a book that claims new revelation, nor does it offer a method to follow or a doctrine to defend. Instead, it serves as a reminder-of peace as our natural state, of submission as the doorway to freedom, and of the quiet truth that has always existed beneath fear, division, and striving. Moving between reflection, personal insight, and timeless wisdom found across religious traditions, The Way challenges the reader to reconsider what it means to believe, to suffer, and to live fully in the present moment. The book concludes with a 33-day contemplation journal designed to help readers engage the path inward, where the way cannot be named but only known. This is a book for the wanderer, the disillusioned believer, and anyone who feels the ache of separation-and senses that the way home has never been far away.

Alight with Hidden Glory
"The richness of [these] reflections will continue for a long time to be for us a source of blessing, of grace, of encounter with Jesus Christ." Pope Leo XIV In 2026, Pope Leo XIV asked Bishop Erik Varden to preach the Lent Retreat to the Roman Curia. Alight with Hidden Glory traces a Lenten journey proposed to the head of the Catholic Church and his closest collaborators, but has much to say to all people of good will. Informed by Scripture and the liturgy, illumined by the insights of Bernard of Clairvaux, a man who helped shape medieval Europe, the book addresses questions of timeless relevance: What is the meaning of freedom? How can we speak well about truth? How do we respond when high ideals are compromised by human betrayal? Erik Varden reveals Lent not as deprivation but as a clarifying pilgrimage toward Christ's 'hidden glory'. This contemplative yet urgent work invites readers to walk the exodus path with renewed courage, vigilance, and hope.
The Purpose Within

Rooted in Hindu dharma, it emphasizes unity beyond religions, teaching that all paths leading to truth and compassion are divine.

It addresses mental strength, inner peace, and awareness, reminding readers that life is a sacred gift.

Christianity is fulfilment of Judaism
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus declared he came not to destroy the law but to fulfill it, emphasizing his connection to the Old Testament, where God, depicted as harsh and punitive toward disobedience, often seemed less merciful than in the New Testament. The Torah, or Pentateuch, given to Moses, contained laws that expanded from the Ten Commandments to 613 Mitzvot, leading to rigid rituals that burdened Jewish spiritual life. In contrast, the New Testament shifted focus from laws to love, valuing human beings above rituals and promoting inclusivity across race and class. Written in Greek, it enabled Jesus's message to reach beyond the Jewish world, profoundly shaping civilization. God appears as loving and forgiving, reducing commandments to two-love for God and love for one's neighbor. Christianity thus prioritizes selfless love and compassion over strict observance of law, reflecting a transformation from divine judgment to divine mercy.

Infinite Grace
Most of us carry private ledgers in our heads. We remember who hurt us, who disappointed us, and where we failed ourselves. We promise to move on, yet the same tensions keep resurfacing in our closest connections. This book is for anyone who suspects that ordinary life could flow with more kindness, clarity, and courage, yet feels trapped in repeated patterns of hurt.

The Pathless Path
Some people leave religion and feel instantly free. Others leave and discover that the questions, longings, and unease have followed them out of the door. This book is written for that second group, the ones who are still hungry for depth but no longer satisfied with borrowed answers or rigid labels. It offers a way to explore experiential spirituality without pretending certainty or returning to old boxes. Across honest stories, simple contemplative exercises, and clear reflections, the reader is invited to trust direct spiritual experience as a valid source of insight. Rather than arguing for or against any belief system, the book asks what actually happens when you commit to a small, personal spiritual practice and stay with it through boredom, doubt, and change. It speaks to those who describe themselves as spiritual but not religious, or who cannot bear any label at all, yet still feel called to listen more closely to life. Drawing on modern mysticism, everyday psychology, and the grit of ordinary households and workplaces, the chapters show how mindfulness and meditation, relationships, and work can become part of a coherent inner path. Readers learn gentle inner guidance practices for making choices, building spiritual independence without isolation, and living a non dogmatic faith in the middle of real responsibilities.

If you are curious about healing through practice yet wary of both dogma and shallow self-help, this book offers a calm, practical path.
