Savage Grace by Andrew Harvey,Carolyn Baker Pdf

In the boldest and most daring book either author has ever written, Andrew Harvey and Carolyn Baker confront us with the life and death reality of the global crisis and the fact that four crucial strategies must be employed not only to survive the dark night, but to inhabit our bodies and our lives with passionate authenticity, honesty, vigilance, community, compassion, and service. These strategies are Reconnection, Resistance, Resilience, and Regeneration. Deep and unprecedented reconnection with self, others, and Earth must be our mission, regardless of the outcome. Distinguishing between “problems” which have solutions and “predicaments” which can only be responded to, Harvey and Baker articulate precisely how we have arrived at this unprecedented juncture and offer strategies of resistance against the fundamental enemies of humanity and the Earth. Such a response demands of us something far deeper than what conventional religions and visions of activism call for--nothing less than living and acting from the Sacred Self, both without illusion and totally committed to compassion and justice even, if necessary, in hopeless situations. With Trump, it’s as if the Titanic has hit the iceberg. We are the passengers. The only question before us, and before the whole world, is how we stop the ripping of our hull. The original Titanic sunk due to human arrogance. There is still time for us to save ourselves with the power of humility, resistance and renewal. This book offers a compelling and profound pathway for human survival after hitting the iceberg. —Jim Garrison, Founder and President of Ubiquity University. A powerful manual for a spiritual revolution! Read it, pray it, reflect on it, and then start acting on it...because the future of the world depends on it. —Adam Bucko, co-author of Occupy Spirituality and The New Monasticism

Savage Grace by Emily Kimelman Pdf

I’m pregnant. Gripping the test in my hand, I can’t stop staring at the blue cross in the window. Tears roll, hot and slow, down my cheeks. I huddle in a low ball, emotion bowing me. My dog, Blue, whines and presses against my side, his warm tongue laving my cheek, his musky scent enveloping me. A familiar comfort. Will my child love Blue as I do? My phone vibrates on the bathroom counter, and I hiccup a sob. Squeezing my eyes shut, pressing more tears free, I hold my breath. Blood rushes in my ears, and my heart throbs in my chest…a tidal wave is washing me away. I can’t do this. The soft ping of a voicemail brings my eyes open. I’m staring at the cross again. Blue shifts closer, leaning his warm weight against me. As tall as a Great Dane, with the elegant snout of a collie, the markings of a wolf, and mismatched eyes—one blue the other brown—Blue means the world to me. My heart will have to make room for more. Fear slices through me, adrenaline flooding my veins and bringing another soft whine from Blue. Standing quickly, the adrenaline demanding action, I glance at my phone. Robert Maxim. He can’t know. My eyes trace to the trash can of the hotel bathroom. Wrap up the test and put it in there. But my hand won’t follow the advice. My fingers grip tighter, refusing to release the small wand of plastic. The proof. The truth. Grabbing my phone off the counter, I step back into the hotel room. Blue stays close to my hip, his nose tapping my waist once, a gentle reminder he is there. I shove the plastic wand into my bag, pushing it into a zipper interior pocket and closing it up. Locking it away. Just throw it out. I can’t. My hand strays to my stomach, and Blue’s nose swipes against my fingers. Vision blurred with tears, I stand in the center of the hotel room, my mind reeling. Lightning sizzles across my vision, and thunder ricochets inside my mind. I’m not cut out for motherhood. I know I’ll survive. It’s everyone I love who dies. That changes now. P.S. The dog does not die. **Beware: If you can’t handle a few f-bombs, you can’t handle this series.**

A Savage Grace by Velda Brotherton Pdf

After being convicted of thirteen barbarous murders—including that of his pregnant wife—Eric Adair has been sentenced to spend the remainder of his life alone in a cell at the Institute for the Criminally Insane. The only problem is that Eric hasn’t been alone in a very long time. Eric’s soul has been possessed by an ancient demon who has spent years twisting the young man’s mind, forcing him into actions that satisfy his own evil whims… urges that have long gone unsated with Eric’s incarceration. But now the demon is looking for a new soul to corrupt... and wants Eric's help to do it. Lenore Maine is a beautiful young woman, haunted by her mother’s death. Those around her share Lenore’s fear that the madness she believes runs in her family is now coming for her. But her mother’s death may not be the only thing haunting her nights. Are her dreams of passion and pain real, or is Lenore plagued by something worse than she ever imagined? And will Lenore succumb to the horrors of possession or does she alone have the strength to bring an end to the demon's long reign of terror? And what will become of Eric in the process? Will the demon keep his promise to release Eric in exchange for Lenore or will his soul be damned forever?

Savage Grace by Jay Griffiths Pdf

Jay Griffiths is a tour guide for anyone who has ever wished to commune with the side of our human psyche that remains in touch with the wild. Equally at home among the "sea gypsy" Bajo people who live off the coast of Thailand and forage their food from the ocean floor, drinking the psychedelic ayahuasca plant with Amazonian shamans, or joining an Inuit whale hunt at the northern tip of Canada, Griffiths takes readers on an adventure both charted and un–chartable. She divides her meditations on these travels into sections named after the ancient elemental properties of the universe—Earth, Air, Fire, Ice, and Water—because her subject matter is not merely the places traveled to but the depths of mind and the cultural narratives revealed by place. It is a universal story told of far–flung groups of humans, with vastly different ways of life, connected through the varied wilderness that sustains them. By describing the ways in which human societies and the human mind have developed in response to the wilder elements of our homelands, Savage Grace reveals itself as a benediction for the emotional, intellectual, and physical nourishment that people continue to draw from the natural world. Under the sway of Griffiths' charisma, her poetic prose, and her deeply learned and persuasive case for the wild roots of our shared human being, we learn that we are all, each and every one of us, a force of nature.
