Book excerpt: The Sweat Lodge teachings of the Anishinaabe are an important influence on the daily lives of the people. Full of symbolism, interconnected one with another, they are not as uncomplicated as they might seem. The Little Boy's Vision Quest is one of those teachings and it reveals how the Sweat Lodge was brought to the people. Anishinaabe author James Whetung has crafted a crisp, clear telling while retaining the cadence of its oral beginnings. Paintings by Paul Morin evoke the crackle of fire, the scent of cedar, the mysterious dark side of the moon.

A full-blooded Sioux, he was many things in the white man's world -- rodeo clown, painter, prisioner. But, above all, he was a holy man of the Lakota tribe. Seeker of Vision The story he tells is one of harsh youth and reckless manhood, shotgun marriage and divorce, history and folklore as rich today as ever -- and of his fierce struggle to keep pride alive, though living as a stranger in his own ancestral land.

Book excerpt: "As his pa lies dying, Timothy Michael O'Hara, 12, promises he will leave the Allegheny Mountains he loves, and head east to find his appointed guardians. Wise in the ways of the mountains and survival, Tim begins his journey of self-discovery and manhood, vowing to fulfill his pa's wishes. Even so, he doesn't like them. He's not sure what he wants most in life; he just knows that going east isn't it. Tim avoids thieves Jake and Jasper in the Allegheny Mountains, only to meet Ma and Max McGilly in the Shenandoah Valley. The mother and son are bond-slavers who make Tim uneasy with their interest. When he sees the McGillys and Jake and Jasper together, he knows he's in trouble and the chase begins. Down from the Mountains is an historical adventure novel for Middle Grade readers, set in the fall and winter of 1774-1775, just after the beginning of the Revolutionary War in faraway Massachusetts"--Page 4 of cover.

Book excerpt: We are all seekers. Some find their path on pilgrimage to the Mahabodhi Temple in India or the Haji Ali mausoleum as they embark on a journey to Mecca; others find God at the burial site of St. James in the Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. Author and environmentalist Doug Alderson meets the Great Spirit through the ancient spiritual practice of walking. The Vision Keepers is the compelling true story of a seeker who, under the guidance of Bear Heart, a Muskogee Creek Indian and Medicine Man, finds unity with our nation’s native people and reconnects with the earth through profound and mysterious means. At a time when our global community is in great conflict, we can learn much from Native Americans. The Vision Keepers not only recounts the story of one man’s experience with native people and their spirituality, but it offers unique insight into the struggles of an entire culture, personal reconciliation, world peace, and preservation of the Earth and its ancient wisdom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unique and exhilarating autobiography, Allan Jones – Canada’s first blind diplomat – vividly describes how an untreatable eye disease slowly decimated his visual world, most challengingly during his postings in Tokyo and New Delhi, and how he discovered and took to heart the revelatory Indian philosophy that changed his life. Advaita Vedanta, the most iconoclastic and liberating of the classical Indian philosophies, profoundly altered the author’s experience of self and world. He found that the true self, as distinct from the individual ego, far exceeds the boundaries of individuality. It lies beneath sightedness or blindness and is absolutely unaffected by the latter. This welcome shift of perspective was reinforced by startling discoveries in contemporary physics, evolutionary biology, and developmental psychology that are fully consistent with Advaitic metaphysics. As for the practical applications of metaphysics, this book demonstrates step by step how Advaitic insight and practice significantly reduce physical and psychological tension. The most telling examples have to do with adjustments compelled by extreme circumstances. Thus Jones describes how he drew upon Advaitic mindfulness techniques to maintain his white cane mobility skills in the teeth of permanent spinal, nerve, and muscle pain. The arc of Beyond Vision moves from the claustrophobically personal to the openness of the transpersonal. It begins in a dysfunctional family background, breaking out into a full life encompassing an adventurous foreign service career, spiritual exploration, and an unconventional kind of marital love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neither physical nor spirit beings but "shekhins"- such is the discovery of this book concerning the characters in Revelation. But what are shekhins if these are not beings? How did this book arrive at this viewpoint? To explain these, this book undergoes some excruciating feat from which books on Revelation largely shy away. But this is not the only endeavor that this book braves. Throughout its radical scrutiny of Revelation, it also clenches the view that all faiths and Eastern philosophies are in the vision of John - a view that again defies most, if not all, mainstream perspectives on Revelation. Upholding this, the book eventually learns the cogency of such a view after thoughtfully dissecting passages in Revelation. Passages in Revelation do not appear as they seem. Bracing its arguments with wide-ranging research on philosophy, religion, and theology, this book consequentially delivers rich, original, and highly intriguing insights, such as on: - the problem of evil - miracle and God's omnipotence - the non-selectiveness of God - the seven angels of Rev. 2-3 - the "wrath" of God - natural theology - spiritual forces - and many more This book also finds itself having unearthed the gem buried deep within the vision: perfection in love.
