Bearers of the Burden (Third Edition)


Book Description

"When we know how we are living and what we are living for – that we are slaves to the five aggregates – we will feel ashamed of our lives. It is impossible to completely make an end of suffering without having made the breakthrough to the Four Noble Truths. With liberation comes profound contentment. Liberation is void of craving. The person who ‘wants this’ and ‘wants that’ is no more. ‘Contentment is the greatest wealth.’ The one who knows the value of contentment and practices it has peace of mind. Blind is this world because of ignorance, because of not knowing the truth. People are wandering around without any clear direction. Our desire for existence is so strong that even existence in one of the woeful realms is deemed better than not existing again at all." [From a book published by Pa-Auk Meditation Centre, a Centre of Theravāda Buddhist Tradition]




A Handbook for Burden Bearers


Book Description

Spiritually sensitive people, who take on the cares and pain of others, often feel that the ability is a curse instead of a blessing. In A Handbook for Burden Bearers, the author shows that when burden bearers understand how to operate in this challenging gift properly, it can become a profound blessing. Understanding the realities of burden bearing is necessary for spiritually sensitive people, both its limits and blessings. Drawing on a lifetime of being a spiritually sensitive burden bearer, the author offers insights from his own life experience, bringing some much-needed clarity and teaching to a common, yet often misunderstood, spiritual gift.




Burdened Virtues


Book Description

Lisa Tessman's Burdened Virtues is a deeply original and provocative work that engages questions central to feminist theory and practice, from the perspective of Aristotelian ethics. Focused primarily on selves who endure and resist oppression, she addresses the ways in which devastating conditions confronted by these selves both limit and burden their moral goodness, and affect their possibilities of flourishing. She describes two different forms of "moral trouble" prevalent under oppression. The first is that the oppressed self may be morally damaged, prevented from developing or exercising some of the virtues; the second is that the very conditions of oppression require the oppressed to develop a set of virtues that carry a moral cost to those who practice them--traits that Tessman refers to as "burdened virtues." These virtues have the unusual feature of being disjoined from their bearer's own well being. Tessman's work focuses on issues that have been missed by many feminist moral theories, and her use of the virtue ethics framework brings feminist concerns more closely into contact with mainstream ethical theory. This book will appeal to feminist theorists in philosophy and women's studies, but also more broadly, ethicists and social theorists.




Highly Sensitive


Book Description

God Created Some People To Be Highly Sensitive Discover why you are the way you are and enjoy your gift!! Highly Sensitive: Understanding Your Gift of Spiritual Sensitivity is a valuable companion piece to Carol Brown's previous book, The Mystery of Spiritual Sensitivity. This volume not only provides a precise summary of the topics covered in the prequel (true identity, burden bearing, aspects of high sensitivity, healing), but counsels you on the steps and spiritual practices that will help you-the "highly sensitive burden bearer" to shine in your gifting. Highly Sensitive propels you forward into a healing and maturing process that involves a steep but exhilarating learning curve-well worth the journey. "This book is in response to many readers asking me, 'Now what? Where do I do from here?'" writes author Carol Brown. Highly Sensitive examines and frankly discusses five growth areas most burden bearers have in common: 1. Having confidence that you hear from God. 2.Trusting God, self, and others. 3. Discerning between burdens and "my own stuff." 4. Making and keeping boundaries. 5. Identity (sense of worth and belonging). All of the dots are connected through personal testimonies, biblical support, and spiritual insight-you will clearly see God's bigger picture for your life! This book looks at how empathetic burden bearing affects the individual and how you can recover and repair damage from negative responses to high sensitivity on emotional, spiritual, and psychological levels.




The Bearer's Burden

The hardcover version of Phantom Pact: The Bearer's Burden by Chad Queen.




The Ritual Practice of Time


Book Description

Calendars of Mesoamerican civilisations are subjected to what is categorised as “ritual practices of time”. This book is a comparative explication of rituals of time of four calendars: the Long Count calendar, the 260-day calendar, the 365-day calendar and the 52-years calendar. Building upon a comparative analytical model, the book contributes new theoretical insights about ritual practices and temporal philosophies. This comprehensive investigation analyses how ritual practices are represented and conceptualised in intellectual systems and societies. The temporal ritual practices are systematically analysed in relation to calendar organisation and structure, arithmetic, cosmogony and chronometry, spatial-temporality (cosmology), natural world, eschatology, sociology, politics, and ontology. It is argued that the 260-day calendar has a particular symbolic importance in Mesoamerican temporal philosophies and practices.
