Spirits in Spacesuits
Spirituality has oft been reduced to just religion, religion further reduced to mere morality, and morality ultimately reduced to sexuality. This book is not about how to be "good," nor even "religious" but about being "mystical" - the only reason for the experiment that is life on planet Earth.
Why?
Do you wonder what your true path in life is? We each have a purpose and a mission. However, uncovering this purpose can be challenging, and often daunting. If you are like most, you have probably asked yourself, “Why am I here?” But where do you turn for answers? Religion? Psychology? Spirituality? Written by psychologist and bestselling author Matthew McKay, charismatic Silicon Valley spiritual leader Seán ÓLaoire, and bestselling author Ralph Metzner, Why? will help you see what your past and present experiences are telling you about the spiritual theme in your life; one that is visible when you know how to read the signs. Your experiences may be that of a Healer/Peacemaker, an Expl...
Collecting Music in the Aran Islands
Collecting Music in the Aran Islands, a critical historiographical study of the practice of documenting traditional music, is the first to focus on the archipelago off the west coast of Ireland. Deirdre Ní Chonghaile argues for a framework to fully contextualize and understand this process of music curation.
The Dead
"The Dead is one of the twentieth century's most beautiful pieces of short literature. Taking his inspiration from a family gathering held every year on the Feast of the Epiphany, Joyce pens a story about a married couple attending a Christmas-season party at the house of the husband's two elderly aunts. A shocking confession made by the husband's wife toward the end of the story showcases the power of Joyce's greatest innovation: the epiphany, that moment when everything, for character and reader alike, is suddenly clear.
Songs of an Irish Poet
The first full-length biography of Mary O'Leary (Máire Bhuí Ní Laoire), one of the most celebrated Irish-language folk poets of the nineteenth century. She was one of the only oral poets of her generation to achieve name recognition after her death. She composed poems that were built to last - songs collected and preserved by folklorists that now occupy a significant place in the repertoires of contemporary traditional performers. The book contains new English-language translations of Mary O'Leary's entire poetic canon, including her best-known song, "The Battle of Keimaneigh" (Cath Chéim an Fhia), a stirring description of an armed clash in 1822 between militia troops and a secret society of Catholic tenant farmers known as the Whiteboys.
On a Rock in the Middle of the Ocean
Individual desire and overcoming the rigors of social scrutiny are important factors in the development of an active public performer. In a special study of one song, Lillis O Laoire shows how the song itself emerges as a mediator of dilemmas and tensions of island life. In a meticulous exposition of the links between music, text, and performance, the vicissitudes of island life are revealed, while these tensions are alleviated by singing humorous ribald items to provide a deliberate contrast.
Investigating Prayer
This book relates the experience of researching, planning, and conducting a scientific study into intercessory prayer (prayer for others). The purpose of the study was to ascertain whether the impact of prayer could be measured in a formal study, based on the large number of anecdotal reports of efficacy. The study was a prospectively randomized double-blind trial that added prayer by an established Christian prayer group to conventional therapy for cancer. The unique design feature was that the primary endpoint was a change in a validated scale of spiritual well-being. The patients were informed that they were participating in a study about spiritual well-being and quality of life but remai...
My Long, Strange Journey
What is truth, especially when it pertains to spirituality? Aren't we all just living on faith while trying to navigate our soul journeys? This book is one man's wrestling with the questions plaguing us all: "Who are we?" "Why are we here?" "Where is God in all of this?" And perhaps, most essentially, "What is God and how should we relate to Him?" This is a book designed to spur thought and reflection. It, hopefully, will spark loving conversations between friends, in-laws, and outlaws. No one has a monopoly on the truth; we're all just seekers with whom God is relating individually. If you like thought that colors a bit outside the lines, then you might want to try this book on for size and travel a bit outside the box.
