Book Description
Is there a mystical consciousness particularly natural to women? And if so, what role is it playing in the spiritual evolution of our world? To answer these questions, Hilary Hart traveled across the world meeting with contemporary mystics from a variety of traditions including Lakota Sioux, Sufism, Buddhism, and West-African shamanism. The revelations of feminine wisdom offered from these encounters are not conceptual teachings, but vivid examples of lived spirituality expressed sometimes through simple ways of being, sometimes through profound mystical experiences. Revolutionary and remarkably practical, The Unknown She offers a startling new look at women’s unique mystical orientation and its place in the evolution of our universal consciousness. “... for serious students of mystical traditions and women's spirituality, this challenging book offers rewards not found in more conventional works.” —Publishers Weekly “... a profound exploration of what may become the most important development in the 21st Century: the return of the feminine voice in spiritual experience.” —Tsultrim Allione, author, Women of Wisdom A wonderful book! Here, the deep feminine speaks beautifully with inspiration and wisdom so terribly needed in our times.” —Jack Kornfield, author, After the Ecstasy, the Laundry and founding teacher of Spirit Rock Meditation Center “In this sensitive and beautifully crafted book, Hilary Hart has listened to the voice of a new, emergent, mystical consciousness in women and through her careful witnessing has offered it to us as a precious gift.” Anne Baring, author, —The Myth of the Goddess

To Be a Man
Author: Nicole Krauss
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 006243103X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
“A sustained shot of brilliance” (Boston Globe)—ten globetrotting stories exploring the complex relationships between men and women. A Best Book/Short Story Collection of the Year: O, The Oprah Magazine, Financial Times, Esquire, Lit Hub, Bustle, Electric Literature, Library Journal New York Times Editors’ Choice Nicole Krauss plunges fearlessly into the struggle to understand men and women and the tensions that have existed in all relationships from the beginning of time. Set in our contemporary moment and moving across the globe from Switzerland, Japan, and New York City to Tel Aviv, Los Angeles, and an unnamed country in South America, the stories in To Be a Man feature men as fathers, lovers, friends, children, seducers, and even a lost husband who may never have been a husband at all. The way these stories mirror one another and resonate is beautiful, with a balance so finely tuned that the book almost feels like a novel. Echoes ring through stages of life: aging parents and newborn babies; young women’s coming-of-age and the newfound, somewhat bewildering sexual power that accompanies it; generational gaps and unexpected deliveries of strange new leases on life; mystery and wonder at a life lived or a future waiting to unfold. With a fierce, unwavering light To Be a Man illuminates the forces driving human existence: sex, power, violence, passion, self-discovery, aging. Profound, poignant, and brilliant, Krauss’s stories, at once startling and deeply moving, are always revealing of all-too-human weakness and strength. “Superb. . . . Krauss’s depictions of the nuances of sex and love, intimacy and dependence, call to mind the work of Natalia Ginzburg. . . . Krauss’s stories capture characters at moments in their lives when they’re hungry for experience and open to possibilities, and that openness extends to the stories themselves: narratives too urgent and alive for neat plotlines, simplistic resolutions or easy answers.” —Molly Antopol, New York Times Book Review ”From a contemporary master, an astounding collection of ten globetrotting stories, each one a powerful dissection of the thorny connections between men and women. . . . Each story is masterfully crafted and deeply contemplative, barreling toward a shimmering, inevitable conclusion, proving once again that Krauss is one of our most formidable talents in fiction.” —Esquire

The Unknown

Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1412028701
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Living by the stream of thought, memory, feeling emotion, fear, hope and pain, The Unknown will help the readers examine the meaning of these destinies. There is a dialogue, a lot of it but much of it is an exchange with a person entirely named "Angel", Jemila exchanges views and perspectives on life, love and the universe with this Angel. The dialogue lasts throughout the book. Angel speaks from the very first page and the very last and everywhere in between. Whoever this Angel ends up being, the is very important in the scheme of the novel. The story, the events of the novel are not related in the straightforward manner. Events, what little there are, are explained through the consciousness of the protagonist and almost never described physically as the mental and emotional world of Jemila's own mind. It is very much an interior narrative of Jemila's own mind and soul, a logbook, diary of the conscious mind of the protagonist. With a flair for poetry and inspirational stories, this novel is laced with poetic interludes and epigraphs. It flows like a river, in fact a river of consciousness. Through the novel, there is a lot of interior strength of character. I paint portraits of strong people who have a sense of interior, self worth and self esteem who seek to make the world over into images of themselves. Jemila may not be a strong person in the usual sense, but she tends to make the world over in her image. The world is the contents of her mind, and vice versa. Her mind is the outside world, in a sense. It is mostly about Jemila remembering events in the lives of a family, that lead to the central flaw or strength of character(s) and understanding how a character will act in the story. Through the dialogue with Angel, Jemila finds true strength from Angel's words and from that she decides that we are most alike in our feelings and least alike in our thinking. Angel's visit to Jemila through dream, brings about a new beginning to Jemila's stream of thought, memory, feelings, emotions, fears and pains and replaces it all with a new chance to live.
