Book Description
Having misused women, power and the life-energy of his followers, the Seeker must overcome his demons – not figuratively but literally – in the astral, etheric and physical dimensions of reality. But in order to face them, he must first cross the threshold to the spiritual world... Transforming Demons takes us on an astonishing journey – from contemporary Norway to Ancient Atlantis, to Ireland and India – where we encounter leprechauns, dragons, evil spirits, hallucinogenic drugs, and a mysterious golden cross with a red ruby at its heart. With hubris, arrogance and deceit, the Seeker has abused his magical powers in previous existences. If he is finally to resolve his knotted karma, he must first confront his misdeeds, and the demons that were created as a result. Then he must learn to transform those demons in order to free them – and him – from the weight of his past. This is a remarkable true memoir that crosses lifetimes, thousands of years and manifold dimensions. It is an authentic story of transformation and redemption on the path to self-knowledge, freedom and love.

Demons in Late Antiquity

Author: Eva Elm
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110630621
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 380

Book Description
Since the perception of demons in antiquity depended on particular cultural and religious milieus, the authors in this volume take into view various texts – ranging from amulets, spells, apocalypses, martyrdom literature to hagiography – and focus specifically on literary aspects of the transformation of demons and their contextualization. Are specific conceptions of demons characteristic for a certain genre or, rather, for particular religious contexts, so that they appear as topoi independent of genre? Do certain representations of demons prevail in pagan, Jewish and Christian circles alike, irrespective of religious background? How do notions of demons function in apocalypses, hymns, hagiographies or texts from healing procedures and what interdependencies of genre and social context can be traced? These questions are analysed from diverse disciplinary perspectives that offer some fresh and surprising answers.

Learning to D.A.N.C.E. With Your Demons: A Guide to Self Transformation

Author: Francesca Flood, Ed.D.
Publisher: Hope Verdad LLC
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 136

Book Description
This is not your typical self-help book that tells you how great you are, pats you on the back, and sends you on your way to buy the next book. It is for individuals who desire courageous content, not just audacious titles. Learning to D.A.N.C.E. With Your Demons will challenge you to take a closer and more truthful look at yourself. It will cause you to think critically, confront certain aspects of who you are, and see yourself through a lens of honesty. We cannot become the best version of ourselves until we understand and excavate the darker parts of our human nature. It may touch a nerve, may piss you off, and even cause a defensive, "That's not me,"response. That's okay because it means you're really reading the book. Learning to D.A.N.C.E. With Your Demons offers you an alternative self-transformational guide that asks you to become a better person, and in doing so, become a better member of society. "It is written in such an accessible manner. She definitely has a gift for writing and storytelling. It reminds me of reading Elisabeth Kubler Ross's book in college, and the impact it can have, but with a much more positive approach. It has to be the most interesting approach to factor analysis I have ever seen!!" - Janet Martin, Ph.D. Professor of Government & Legal Studies - Bowdoin College "...the book is grounded in the cognitive behavioral school of counseling which emphasizes the present rather than focusing on peoples' previous experiences,e.g. childhood... The author, in addition to being an academic possessing an Ed.D., is a gifted wordsmith. " -Michael Klausner, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Sociology & Organizational Behavior University of Pittsburgh - Bradford "... it is refreshing to encounter a narrative that is loaded with helpful insights about how to achieve authentic self-discovery and wholesome healing.This book offers helpful tips for deep awakening and realization. D.A.N.C.E.describes this process with eloquence, grace, and candor. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the quest for inner peace, joy, and transformation." - Akintunde E. Akinade, Ph.D., Professor of Theology, Georgetown University in Qatar "We live in a world with scarcity - perceived or real - feeding resentment, explaining caste systems, fostering social divides. This book takes a closer look into the same world and asks us to consider abundance and compassion by finding these qualities within ourselves. LeeAnn Womack sings, "...when you get the choice to sit it out or dance," I join with Ms. Womack and hope you D.A.N.C.E.!" - Judith K. Gwathmey, V.M.D., Ph.D. Professor of Medicine and Physiology - Boston University School of Medicine.

Book Description
Frannie Cavanaugh is a good Catholic girl with a bit of a wicked streak. She has spent years keeping everyone at a distance---even her closest friends---and it seems as if her senior year is going to be more of the same . . . until Luc Cain enrolls in her class. No one knows where he came from, but Frannie can't seem to stay away from him. What she doesn't know is that Luc is on a mission. He's been sent from Hell itself to claim Frannie's soul. It should be easy---all he has to do is get her to sin, and Luc is as tempting as they come. Frannie doesn't stand a chance. But he has to work fast, because if the infernals are after her, the celestials can't be far behind. And sure enough, it's not long before the angel Gabriel shows up, willing to do anything to keep Luc from getting what he came for. It isn't long before they find themselves fighting for more than just Frannie's soul. But if Luc fails, there will be Hell to pay . . . for all of them.

City of Demons

Author: Dayna S. Kalleres
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520276477
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 392

Book Description
Although it would appear in studies of late antique ecclesiastical authority and power that scholars have covered everything, an important aspect of the urban bishop has long been neglected: his role as demonologist and exorcist. When the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the realm, bishops and priests everywhere struggledÊ to ÒChristianizeÓ the urban spaces still dominated by Greco-Roman monuments and festivals. During this period of upheaval, when congregants seemingly attended everything but their own ÒorthodoxÓ church, many ecclesiastical leaders began simultaneously to promote aggressive and insidious depictions of the demonic. In City of Demons, Dayna S. Kalleres investigates this developing discourse and the church-sponsored rituals that went along with it, showing how shifting ecclesiastical demonologies and evolving practices of exorcism profoundly shaped Christian life in the fourth century.
