Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the wonders that lie on the other side of haze that makes someone a seeker, a sage , a pilgrim at heart. At every step, it becomes a deepening into the sea of silence, delving into the unmoving for it is not a journey of your body alone, but a journey of your spirit. It then becomes a pilgrimage of your soul. The soundless maze pulls you deeper into the bliss from the lips of heaven, for in not knowing the unknowable lies the acceptance that there is something far reaching of a colossal beauty that is beyond our understanding. We can only attempt to walk through the mystery, but a part of it may always be beyond our grasp. Still the walk we must take, for in it is the fulfillment of the body and soul. The purpose of this pilgrimage is to capture the eternity at every moment for no moment comes back again, and you never get another chance at life. It is in this spiritual odyssey, that you live to your fullest as from your wearied self, flowers shall grow again and your fragrance will release for you will sense the spell of eternity. Every moment will be a meeting point where you are brought home to yourself, for the wonders will light your eyes. You have finally found the secret of living for living on the earth, you remain above the earth, as what goes around, does not confine you. You remain in a splendor, eternal it is for your soul has sensed an enchantment in silence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abbot Christopher Jamison, from BBC2's THE MONASTERY and new show THE SILENCE, suggests ways in which the teachings of St Benedict can be helpful in everyday life. Have you ever wondered why everybody these days seems so busy? In FINDING SANCTUARY, Father Christopher Jamison offers practical wisdom from the monastic tradition on how to build sanctuary into your life. No matter how hard you work, being too busy is not inevitable. Silence and contemplation are not just for monks and nuns, they are natural parts of life. Yet to keep hold of this truth in the rush of modern living you need the support of other people and sensible advice from wise guides. By learning to listen in new ways, people's lives can change and the abbot offers some monastic steps that help this transition to a more spiritual life. In the face of many easy assumptions about the irrelevance of religion today, Father Christopher makes religion accessible for those in search of life's meaning and offers a vision of the world's religions working together as a unique source of hope for the 21st century.

This book was released on 2021-08-04 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Urban Rituals in Sacred Landscapes in Hellenistic Asia Minor, Christina G. Williamson examines the phenomenon of monumental sanctuaries in the countryside of Asia Minor that accompanied the second rise of the Greek city-state in the Hellenistic period. Moving beyond monolithic categories, Williamson provides a transdisciplinary frame of analysis that takes into account the complex local histories, landscapes, material culture, and social and political dynamics of such shrines in their transition towards becoming prestigious civic sanctuaries. This frame of analysis is applied to four case studies: the sanctuaries of Zeus Labraundos, Sinuri, Hekate at Lagina, and Zeus Panamaros. All in Karia, these well-documented shrines offer valuable insights for understanding religious strategies adopted by emerging cities as they sought to establish their position in the expanding world.
