Letters by a Modern Mystic
Author: Frank Charles Laubach
Publisher: Martino Fine Books
ISBN: 9781614273554
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
Frank C. Laubach (Sept. 2, 1884-June 11, 1970) was a Christian evangelical missionary and mystic known as "The Apostle to the Illiterates." In 1929, after fourteen years of successful teaching, writing, and administration in Cagayan and Manilla, he pursued his long-standing ambition of settling among the fierce Moros, a Muslim tribe on Mindanao. There, in the province of Lanao, he underwent a remarkable series of experiences of God and simultaneously developed a technique for reducing the Moro language to writing with symbols closely correlated to their spoken words. This technique not only made it possible to teach them to read in only a few hours but also permitted them to teach others immediately. In 1928, two years before his transforming experiences, Laubach found himself profoundly dissatisfied. He then realized in 1930 that after fifteen years as a Christian minister he was still not living his days "in minute-by-minute effort to follow the will of God." He determined at that time to seek to begin lining up his actions with the will of God every few minutes. His confidants at the time told him he was seeking the impossible. Undeterred, he began to try living all his waking moments in "conscious listening to the inner voice, asking without ceasing, 'What, Father, do you desire said? What, Father, do you desire done this minute?'" He believed that this was exactly what Jesus did every day. "Letters by a Modern Mystic," first published in 1937, is a compilation of excerpts from letters that Laubach wrote to his father. The tremendous results of this experiment in living in moment-by-moment communion with God are found in the narrative of these letters. Dr. Laubach is probably best known for his work to address adult illiteracy in the world. He conceived a simple method of instruction that permitted even the most disadvantaged people in the world not only to learn to read but also to be able to teach others. "Each One Teach One" became the slogan for this instructional program, which is credited with equipping over one hundred million people with the ability to read. On September 2, 1984, the United States Postal Service issued a stamp commemorating the 100th anniversary of Laubach's birth.

Wonders of Spiritual Unfoldment
Author: John Butler
Publisher: Shepheard-Walwyn
ISBN: 0856833568
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 502
Book Description
A personal account of searching for spiritual understanding initially outside Christian teaching, this book takes the position that there are as many ways to God as there are paths up a mountain. Interpreting his own spiritual breakthroughs, the author describes them as "windows of realization" and likens them to the sensation of being made whole. The book describes his journey from Eastern mantra-style meditation to the Orthodox "prayer of the heart" and details how a love of nature and a desire to do good played an important part in his spiritual unfoldment.

The Making of a Mystic
Author: Evelyn Underhill
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252047559
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941) achieved international fame with the publication of her book Mysticism in 1911. Continuously in print since its original publication, Mysticism remains Underhill's most famous work, but in the course of her long career she published nearly forty books, including three novels and three volumes of poetry, as well as numerous poems in periodicals. She was the religion editor for Spectator, a friend of T. S. Eliot (her influence is visible in his last masterpiece, Four Quartets), and the first woman invited to lecture on theology at Oxford University. Her interest in religion extended beyond her Anglican upbringing to embrace the world's religions and their common spirituality. In time for the centennial celebration of her classic Mysticism, this volume of Underhill's letters will enable readers and researchers to follow her as she reconciled her beliefs with her daily life. The letters reveal her personal and theological development and clarify the relationships that influenced her life and work. Hardly aloof, she enjoyed the interests, mirth, and compassion of close friendships. Drawing from collections previously unknown to scholars, The Making of a Mystic shows the range of Evelyn Underhill's mind and interests as well as the immense network of her correspondents, including Sir James Frazier and Nobel Prize laureate Rabindranath Tagore. This substantial selection of Underhill's correspondence demonstrates an exceptional scope, beginning with her earliest letters from boarding school to her mother and extending to a letter written to T. S. Eliot from what was to be her deathbed in London in 1941 as the London Blitz raged around her.

Letters to a Starseed

ISBN: 1788176162

Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
An inspirational guide for understanding your soul and discovering why it chose to incarnate at the moment it did. From the author of The Starseed Oracle, Rebecca Campbell, a writer, mystic, devotional creative, and visionary who supports hundreds of thousands of people to connect with their soul and weave the sacred back into their everyday life. “A leading voice in spirituality, Rebecca's work is deep and illuminating.” — Soul and Spirit Magazine AN ENCOURAGING BOOK TO HELP YOU REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE AND TO PLANT YOURSELF HERE Tap into the cosmic nature of your soul, discover your purpose and commit to being here on Earth. Letters to a Starseed asks the biggest questions that mystics and philosophers through the ages have been asking: What is the soul, where did it originate and why have we chosen to come here at this time? YOUR SOUL HAD A DREAM, YOUR LIFE IS IT. This is a book for those who at times feel misplaced in the world; those who have always felt a remembering of some other place without quite knowing what that place really is. As a planet, we are waking up to the fact that the ancient prophecies and warnings from the elders and wise ones are no longer predictions, but our waking reality. They are not just coming or even near ... we are living them right now. What we do now matters to the future of this planet. And we all have a role to play. Some Letters to a Starseed Chapter Titles include: · Who Are We and Where Did We Come From? · The Moment of Your Birth · What Is a Starseed? · Ancient Stars in Our Bones · Reaching Back to the Ancients · Here We Are · Returning · The Longing for Home · I Remember · Why Did You Come Here? · There Must Be More Than This · Why Did You Choose to Come? · We All Have a Role to Play, but Only We Know What · Our Role Is · There You Are · I Have Music in My Heart · Finding Our Ground · Starseed Roles · Plant Yourself Here · How to Feel More at Home on Earth · The Challenge of Being Human · Incarnation · The Original Severing · Plant Yourself Here We are living in a time between myths and stories, and are currently re-weaving the fabric of life on Earth. Throughout this book, Rebecca shares insights and experiences illuminating the connection between our souls, the Earth and the cosmos, to encourage you to commit fully to your incarnation, embrace your human experience and plant yourself here. “Throughout the book you’ll find two prompts, which will support you on your journey as you read. “In many chapters, you’ll find Soul Inquiry prompts that will help you hear the calls of your soul as you journey through the book. “In some chapters, you’ll also find activations. These are here to support you in activating and integrating energies and healing within you, from your soul to your cells. “My hope for this book is that it supports, comforts, and inspires you to remember who you truly are and why you chose to be here at this pivotal moment in the story of humanity. To commit fully to being here and being present to your life on Earth at this time. “To encourage you to play the note that you came here to play, without waver. “Do you remember why you’ve come?” Love, Rebecca x

A Prayer Journal
Author: Flannery O'Connor
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374709696
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
"I would like to write a beautiful prayer," writes the young Flannery O'Connor in this deeply spiritual journal, recently discovered among her papers in Georgia. "There is a whole sensible world around me that I should be able to turn to Your praise." Written between 1946 and 1947 while O'Connor was a student far from home at the University of Iowa, A Prayer Journal is a rare portal into the interior life of the great writer. Not only does it map O'Connor's singular relationship with the divine, but it shows how entwined her literary desire was with her yearning for God. "I must write down that I am to be an artist. Not in the sense of aesthetic frippery but in the sense of aesthetic craftsmanship; otherwise I will feel my loneliness continually . . . I do not want to be lonely all my life but people only make us lonelier by reminding us of God. Dear God please help me to be an artist, please let it lead to You." O'Connor could not be more plain about her literary ambition: "Please help me dear God to be a good writer and to get something else accepted," she writes. Yet she struggles with any trace of self-regard: "Don't let me ever think, dear God, that I was anything but the instrument for Your story." As W. A. Sessions, who knew O'Connor, writes in his introduction, it was no coincidence that she began writing the stories that would become her first novel, Wise Blood, during the years when she wrote these singularly imaginative Christian meditations. Including a facsimile of the entire journal in O'Connor's own hand, A Prayer Journal is the record of a brilliant young woman's coming-of-age, a cry from the heart for love, grace, and art.
