Our life journey is profoundly affected by the intentions and directions of our parents and caretakers, often with seemingly catastrophic results. The career not taken, the marriage not consummated are only two choices colored by the emotional distortions we might have been trained to believe about ourselves as a result of having unconditional faith and trust in the wisdom and omniscience we have attributed to our parents and caretakers in our formative years. But these conditions are merely "stage-setters" for the lessons we need to learn. What if we are raised with love and acceptance for who we are not who we are supposed to be? Learn to recognize and disarm what might have led us to feel "toxic shame" and to create our "Shadow" leading us to doubt ourselves instead of building the courage, self-worth and confidence in creating a fuller and more rewarding life.

"What goes around, comes around." Truer words were never spoken, as evidenced by the complex interactions and fates of the characters in "The Turn of The Karmic Wheel." When the residents of Raleigh begin to hear music and voices that aren't "there," and to receive frightening messages from no discernable source, it soon becomes apparent that changes must - and will - be made: to their everyday lives, to their relationships, to their bodies, and, most importantly, to their souls.

Sherrill Grace shows how Malcolm Lowry's theme of a cyclical pattern of initiation, repeated ordeals with failure and retreat, followed by success and development, which in turn gave way to fresh defeat, influenced the structure, narrative style, and the symbolic pattern in his writing. The author also includes an appendix in which she examines the elements of Conrad Aiken's fiction and prose that had a significant impact on Lowry's work.

The Zuni Mountains have over 360,000 acres of pristine wilderness. The volcanic area of the El Malpais National Monument is riddled with great, black lava flows, caves, and lava tubes. The El Morro National Monument has writings from ancient peoples flowing backward into time, early Spanish explorers, and later American explorers near a precious pool of deep water hidden beneath towering cliffs. Throughout Plateaus, mesas. cliffs, canyons, and small mountain peaks is the pygmy forest of pion and juniper trees interspersed with pines and towering Ponderosa pines with their red bark and straight trunks. The continental divide rises and falls as it winds its way north to the great Rocky Mountains. A polygot of peoples, Zuni, Pueblo, Navajo, Spanish, and the various ethnicities of Anglos make the Zuni Mountains home. Not all of the poems in this anthology are about the Zuni Mountains. The poets come from different places and different cultures, but the Zuni Mountains are in all the poems in this volume. Some of the poems capture the beauty of New Mexico sunlight that enlightens the human spirit in a way that sunlight in other places does not. Some are caught up by the mourning, laughter, sadness, comedy, tragedy, and endless stories that arise out of individuals living individual lives. Zuni Mountain country is not always an easy country. The trails through ancient volcanic flows frozen into black stone can challenge the most experienced hiker. You can be walking along a ridge and suddenly become aware that a mountain lion is watching you from a sandstone outcropping above your head. But it is a beautiful, wild place where horses can still find grass in green summer meadows and elk and antelope grace Mother Earth with the fluidity of movement and magnificence of the elks rack of horns. The poetry in this volume arises from the Zuni Mountains, and, as such, is as dynamic, interesting, and beautiful as the country from which it comes.

This book comes from the 2008 Summer Retreat held in Joshua Tree, and includes the 3 days of talks given by Mark Griffin there, as well as three talks in the following weekly meetings that dealt with the aftermath and continuing effects of the Summer Retreat. It also includes the following Intensive given by Mark in July, when he continued the theme of coming into one's own power: "What Is Here Is Everywhere". The principle themes of this book deal not only with what is Spiritual Power, but also what it means to one's own sadhana - their spiritual evolution - to attain power, and be granted access to pure power. How do we come into our own power? What are the psychological issues we must face to do this? What is the importance of addressing the dark side of our psyche, and what stands in the way of our ability to do so? What is it like to meditate in the heart of one of the earth's power vortices? As Mark Griffin says: "Power is possibility. All possibilities are related to the presence or absence of power. There’s different kinds of power. There is the power of the City, which is social power, higher and lower classes, economic power, having a lot or having a little. That’s one kind of power. There’s also a kind of power that is just sheer force. Sometimes it’s quiescent, sometimes it’s wrathful and swift. We will be studying the unseen power of spirit. It is the true power. It is awesome. It is terrifying. And it is exact. When you get involved with power, everything that you bring to the situation is manifest. You come to understand who and what you truly are. This is why it’s a little bit dangerous, and why you want to have as much training as possible when you come in to more and more access with power. There are deep challenges to attracting, gaining, storing and integrating power. This is what spiritual training is about, and this is the basis of our work." This is available now as a 5.5" x 8.5" perfect-bound edition, 228 pages in length, ISBN 978-0-975902-09-7228

An insightful collection of teachings about death and dying to help face life's greatest mystery calmly and with equanimity. Lifetimes of effort go into organizing, designing, and structuring every aspect of our lives, but how many people are willing to contemplate the inevitability of death? Although dying is an essential part of life, it is an uncomfortable topic that most people avoid. With no idea what will happen when we die and a strong desire to sidestep the conversation, we make all kinds of assumptions. Living Is Dying collects teachings about death and the bardos that have been passed down through a long lineage of brilliant Buddhist masters, each of whom went to great lengths to examine the process in minute detail. Renowned author and teacher Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse responds to the most common questions he's been asked about death and dying--exploring how one prepares for death, what to say to a loved one who is dying, and prayers and practices to use as a handhold when approaching the unknown territory of death. Whether you are facing death today or decades from now, preparing for it can help to allay your worst fears and help you appreciate what it means to be truly alive.
