Love Letter to the Earth


Book Description

The world-renowned Zen monk argues for a more mindful, spiritual approach to environmental protection and activism—one that recognizes people and planet as one and the same While many experts point to the enormous complexity in addressing issues ranging from the destruction of ecosystems to the loss of millions of species, Thich Nhat Hanh identifies one key issue as having the potential to create a tipping point. He believes that we need to move beyond the concept of the “environment,” as it leads people to experience themselves and Earth as two separate entities and to see the planet only in terms of what it can do for them. Thich Nhat Hanh points to the lack of meaning and connection in peoples’ lives as being the cause of our addiction to consumerism. He deems it vital that we recognize and respond to the stress we are putting on the Earth if civilization is to survive. Rejecting the conventional economic approach, Nhat Hanh shows that mindfulness and a spiritual revolution are needed to protect nature and limit climate change. Love Letter to the Earth is a hopeful book that gives us a path to follow by showing that change is possible only with the recognition that people and the planet are ultimately one and the same.




The Earth Has Given Birth to the Sky


Book Description

This book explores gender issues in the images of God in folk religious traditions. From such an exploration, we are able to form conclusions about the everyday life of the faith community, dominant family structures, relationships between man and woman, gender roles, and the division of labor within the family. At the same time, the oral tradition reflects the influence of ecclesiastical and social expectations, even if in a negative way, resulting in negative attitudes toward the contemporary power politics. Texts relating to religion demonstrate clear gender-based characteristics. All these obvious or hidden expressions of convictions can be explored in the pictorial descriptions of oral tradition. The derogatory female images in biblical stories-interpreted and enforced from a typical point of view of rural story-telling men-inform us unambiguously about male self-preservation and hidden fears of women. The prayers and biographies of peasant women, on the other hand, do not concentrate on men, but rather avoid male elements, and, contradicting the everyday experiences of male oppression, they visualize the absolute female power.

Woman in Heaven gives Birth - Second Addition


Book Description

Genesis 1 v 14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth. ” And it was so. At the very beginning God said the lights or stars in the heaven will be for Signs (Astronomy and Astrology). But God does not like the “starry predictions” in the paper each day or the magazines or the ones on the end of your phone speaking to the dead. Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the LORD your God. Necromancer’s means ‘A method of divination through alleged communication with the dead’; black Art, magic in general, especially that practiced by a witch or sorcerer; sorcery; witchcraft. God’s Astrology Therefore, Astrology is only to be used in the way it has been used in this book – the numbers in Astrology must match up with what the scriptures are saying and for example the woman in Revelation 12 v 1 and 2 is Virgo; and in Arabic The Undefended One. There are many scriptures in the Bible where Astronomy and Astrology is used. Here are a few for your reference. 1. The Sun and Moon Stood Still – Joshua 10:13. 2. Make the Sun go backwards – Isaiah 38:8. 3. There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars – Luke 21.25. 4. The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and terrible day of the LORD arrives. Joel 2 v31 and Acts 2 v20. 5. Jesus’ birth was a star of Bethlehem. This led the wise men to where Jesus was laid in a manger. God used Astronomy and Astrology to lead people to Christ. Matthew 2.2. 6. Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. Job 9:9. 7. And great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Luke 21 v 11. 8. I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity. Ezekiel 21:30 KJV. In Hebrew and Chinese astrology there are 27, and sometimes 28 houses. When you are born your precise time of Birth is in one of these houses. When the ‘thing’ that is born at 7:36 am on the 23/09/2017 its precise time is noted and taken to God. Revelation 6 v 1 and 2 which came true on the 16/11/2014. The seal was broken and out came a rider on a horse with a bow. The 16/11/2014 was a Blood Moon with Mars, Blood Moons happen with other planets, not just Earth. Mars the Roman god of war is in the rider’s Jugular on the 16/11/2014. Moon is under Leo and Jupiter is at Leo’s Throat. Moon’s number is 18 or 6+6+6 and Jupiter rotates round the (360 degrees or 12 constellations) Sun + one constellation being 12+1 is 13. 13 is the change number of cycles, this takes Jupiter 671 weeks to do, 5 for Grace or grace over death and 666 the warning number. So God, Jesus and Holy Spirit on this day were being attacked in 3 ways. By Mars, in the Jugular, The Moon under Leo, and Jupiter the Major 666 clock is at Leo’s throat. You can see now that Astrology and Astronomy are in the Bible, and God uses them to provide signs for us, as warnings of what is happening. The Sun and Moon are also there for seasons, in order for farmers to know when to plant crops and fishermen to go fishing, all still used today by the learned person.

The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts


Book Description

The Pyramid Texts are the oldest body of extant literature from ancient Egypt. First carved on the walls of the burial chambers in the pyramids of kings and queens of the Old Kingdom, they provide the earliest comprehensive view of the way in which the ancient Egyptians understood the structure of the universe, the role of the gods, and the fate of human beings after death.

The NWO and the Woman in Heaven gives Birth - Second Addition


Book Description

What you will find in this book that takes a scripture and endeavours, using simple mathematics of the universe, to prove that they are very accurate and coming true. This book does not beat around the bush and end with questions, such as “could it be? ” or “is it that? ” “Could it have been?”, and similar statements that you hear on TV and YouTube from some very “credible people” as well as the statements that can be read in their books. Many more Scriptures could have been included; however the author has tried to take a more “scientific approach” as stated further in the book. Albert Einstein said: "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." We prove the Bible is true even down to the second and fourth decimal point in time. To our knowledge no other book about the Bible has been able to achieve that when taking time into account, and this we do - even into the future.
