Book Description

Sufism is the esoteric aspect of Islam. Its purpose is to convey direct knowledge of the eternal. The Sufis impart knowledge through lineages that go back to the Prophet Muhammud. In these various Sufi orders, the zikr, the repetition of "la illaha illa'llah" (There is no God but God), is part of initiation ceremonies. In fact, the method of the Sufis is zikr, and the manner in which zikr is performed is the essential difference among the various orders. The Dervishes repeat their zikr as they turn. They empty their hearts of all but the thought of God and whirl in the ecstatic movements of His breath.

Book Description

Welcome to the afterlife: “A daring and original feat of the imagination . . . transporting readers to an alternative reality that reflects our own” (Nancy Richler, author of The Imposter Bride). Is it possible to find love after you’ve died and gone to Hell? For oddball misfits Velvet and Brinkley, the answer just might be yes. After Velvet hangs herself and winds up trapped in a bedroom she believes is Hell, she comes in contact with Brinkley, the man trapped next door. Through mirrors that hang in each of their rooms, these disturbed cinephiles watch the past of the other unfold—the dark past that has led to their present circumstances. As their bond grows and they struggle to figure out the tragic puzzles of their lives and deaths, Velvet and Brinkley are in for more surprises. By turns quirky, harrowing, funny, and surreal, The Delphi Room explores the nature of reality and the possibilities of love. “A clever novel with a unique approach, The Delphi Room both challenges and entertains. . . . The characters are full of life, painted with an emotional depth and affirming the wild complexity that is the human condition.” —Quill & Quire “A surreal, visual journey through the unknown.” —The Book Stylist

Embittered and distrusting, Vida is harassed by Delphi s racist sheriff and haunted by the son she lost to the world. Hazel, too, has lost a son and can t keep a grip on her fractured life. After drunkenly crashing her car into a manger scene while gunning for the baby Jesus, Hazel is sedated and bed-ridden. Hazel s husband hires Vida to keep tabs on his unpredictable wife and to care for his sole surviving son. Forced to spend time together with no one else to rely on, the two women find they have more in common than they thought, and together they turn the town on its head. It is the story of a town, a people, and a culture on the verge of a great change that begins with small things, like unexpected friendship."

Book Description

A beautifully written and challenging perspective on how we can change the way the world works. The Delphi Book introduces The Polarity Grid - a structure which underpins our personal view of the world and imposes powerful constraints on how we think and behave. We are born into the Grid, we live our life in the Grid, and we are supposed to remain in the Grid. In a direct challenge and invitation, we are urged to go beyond our Grid. This is the individual revolution - an essential step for bringing change into our life and work. Although the rhetoric of change dominates political and organisational discourse, we are struggling to respond to global challenges. We face important choices about how we live; we know we need to change, but we do not know how to change. This original and powerful book explores the nature of the change required.
