Journaling Out Of Narcissism

This is my journal based on my spiritual journey going inwards then coming out. I was seeking self awareness. This is not the truth just my truth, because the truth is your own. I write about letting go so that we can become who we are supposed to be. We all have the opportunity to become our greatest selves regardless of our personality flaws. There is a hidden power within all of us, potential energy waiting to be unlocked. I believe that every person has the ability to evolve if one puts their mind into it! My past experiences created many obstacles and challenges. I was bullied used and abused, I also hurt others too. I was drowning from abandonment issues, this is how I developed my narcissistic personality traits. I thought that I could bury my hurt feelings deep inside while I continued to live my life. I used to be full of regret, guilt, envy, shame, grief, and resentment. In 2011 I was somehow pulled into chakras, yoga, and tai chi. I had no idea where spirit was moving me. I have come to realize that I spent most of my life sleeping, this was an eerie feeling. I thought I knew who I was; I saw how my life was just a lie. I was not being the person that I pictured in my mind, it took inner work to become my best self. I needed to challenge my perception of myself and the world outside. I found myself experiencing higher consciousness as I journeyed deeper internally, my external reality was all an illusion, and that the only thing that is true is what’s within. I continued my quest because I wanted to experience spiritual enlightenment. Working on healing my chakras, I began to see how my pain and ignorance was the cause of my attractions and my life’s outcome. I began to see how my low self-esteem, a lack of confidence, and selfishness were ruling my behavior. I once thought that I knew it all and that I was so special. I thought that everyone else was bad, and blamed instead of looking at my reflection for truth. I saw how the enemy was [mehr]

Against the backdrop of the rugged Sangre de Cristo Mountains, aspiring diva Sylvia mazzoni hopes to combine her Santa Fe Opera debut and a romantic reunion with her lover, Washington attorney Rolf Keller. But Rolf’s old nemesis from law school, Charles Slater, now an archaeologist, intrudes on their tryst. He is on the run from ruthless antiquities traffickers, who are after his recent find of prehistoric Indian artifacts.
After Slater vanishes under suspicious circumstances, Rolf plunges into the New Mexico wilderness to search for him and his priceless cache. Soon, he finds himself in desperate flight not only from the guns of the murderous smugglers, but from the FBI as well.
When the soprano slated to sing Tosca develops vocal problems, opera management drafts Sylvia as a last-minute replacement. While struggling to convert the daunting challenge into the career triumph she has pursued all her life, she and Rolf are threatened by the smugglers who will stop at nothing to get their hands on Slater’s hoard.
As they unravel the twisted clues Slater left behind, Sylvia and Rolf stumble upon the intriguing legend of a shaman’s young daughter, Teya, who played a crucial role in the Pueblo Indian Revolt of 1680 against the Spanish oppressors and perhaps concealed the treasure of a lost pueblo.
Now, three centuries later, the paths of Teya, Sylvia and Rolf are about to cross in this riveting historical thriller involving archaeological crime, southwestern history and grand opera.

Sherlock Holmes: The Secret of Covent Garden
- Krimi

- Ab 12 Jahren

In the year 1875, a mysterious event occurred in the heart of Covent Garden that left the residents utterly perplexed. As the sun began to rise, its gentle rays cast a warm glow on the cobblestone streets. Sherlock Holmes, the brilliant private investigator, stood on the corner of Covent Garden, his sharp eyes surveying the crowd. With his unruly dark hair and piercing blue eyes, he seemed like a man who held the secrets of the world within his mind. Suddenly, a gasp rippled through the gathering crowd. All eyes turned towards the heart of Covent Garden, where the famous theater stood proudly for years. But something was amiss. The Covent Garden Theater had vanished without a trace! As if plucked from existence, the grand structure that had once hosted mesmerizing plays and captivating performances was now replaced by an empty space. Confusion and disbelief swept over the onlookers like a tidal wave. Holmes, his curiosity piqued, made his way towards the crowd. The air crackled with an electric tension as whispers of speculation filled the hushed atmosphere. A huddle of theater-goers, their faces etched with astonishment, murmured amongst themselves, seeking an explanation for the inexplicable. Holmes surveyed the area, his keen senses attuned to every minute detail. Pounding footsteps echoed through the streets as the local constables arrived, their uniforms crisp and their expressions filled with equal bewilderment. His eyes narrowed, Holmes knelt down, examining the spot where the theater once stood. Not a single remnant, not even a brick or a piece of rubble, provided a clue to its disappearance. It was as if the Covent Garden Theater had been put under a spell, vanishing into thin air. The detective's mind whirled with possibilities. Could it be an elaborate prank? A carefully crafted illusion? Or perhaps there was a sinister force at work, hiding behind the veil of mystery. Holmes stood up, a determined glint in his eyes. He knew that uncovering the truth behind the vanishing theater would be no easy task. But with his razor-sharp intellect and cunning deductions, he was ready to embark on this new investigation. The residents of Covent Garden watched in awe as Holmes strode purposefully through the crowd, leaving behind a sense of hope tinged with trepidation. They knew that their beloved detective would not rest until he unraveled the secret of Covent Garden. Little did they know, this was just the beginning of a case that would challenge Holmes's wits like never before. The secret of Covent Garden awaited him, and only time would tell if he could solve this perplexing mystery. [mehr]

A Position Of Wellness by Heather McLaughlin
- Ratgeber
- Englisch
- 3500 Wörter

- 105
It is good to reach out when you are in need. Sometimes it is therapeutic to take walks and to read about mental illness to keep you structured, and giving yourself valid, logical reasons why you can move on from different situations and events, will make you realize there is something in your life that is coming. Whether your belief is that God will provide, or whether the belief is that your premonition, scientifically through being supersticious or even taking advice from a psychic has lent to you the world of discovery about yourself, this ebook should be able to clarify the choices you can make day by day that would steer you in the right direction. Inside you'll find the words "wealthy, wise, and whole" in more than one Chapter. The chapters are not long and drawn out because one does not have that much time to sit and read, and might be overwhelmed because it is more than just a couple hundred words. It can be pretty intimidating to one who does not possess the ability to read for long lengths.
If you can imagine for a second that life is worthwhile, if you can follow positive examples of situations that can help you to decide which is better, to be motivated and to not beat yourself up, or to dwell in it until no return. Life is worth living, and although we are in a country where the freedom is in business, there is still the love and rich capacity of strength through listening to others that can let your soul have the freedom to share the methods that get your through.
This ebook is not considered therapeutic, however, with so much experience behind the scenes inside the system of mental health, I have received certificates of participation, and certificate of passing the program, and that's what it is in life, you've got to pass every hurdle and obstacle and challenge that you face. You could be afraid of spiders one day when you were younger, but now you see them differently and you're not so afraid, as an example.
If you have ever experienced depression or low self esteem, this ebook will most likely help you to build the coping skills needed to figure out the best possibilities for your wellness.
One thing I think I am allowed to say because of wisdom and my age, is that when you go to a person for help, that stays consistent.
The point is there is love for the self that maybe you haven't yet realized, so now is the time to try.

Eileen McHugh - a life remade by Mary Reynolds

Eileen McHugh - a life remade - is a novel about a sculptor whose creative life ended in the 1970s. She left no work, but now an archive of her notes and sketches has come into the possession of Mary Reynolds, who is determined to resurrect the artist's life and reconstruct her work. She contacts people who knew Eileen as a child and as a student in London. She follows the artist on a hippie trip to Thailand. Via these partial memories, she recreates the artist and her work.
Let us imagine an artist who struggled to complete anything, left near-unintelligible notes and was probably incompetent in the use of materials. This was an artist who found any focus hard to maintain, who seemed to dabble in multiple forms and spread apparently undisciplined attention so thinly across a multitude of whim-driven activities that hardly any project came to fruition. Picture a corpus of surviving works that only just creeps into double figures, some of which are dubiously attributed, while others may have been reworked by other hands. And imagine a signature work so incompetently produced it is literally disintegrating whilst, in that same room on a facing wall, there exists another work, largely unknown, by a different artist, who has remained almost anonymous, despite producing something that is arguably as beautiful and technically superior to its neighbour. If asked to assess, how might contemporary viewers, coming to this body of work for the first time, judge its worth or its creator’s achievement?
And how might we judge another artist who has left just one work, which exists only in reproduction as a contemporary photograph, taken in the few moments the work existed? But this artist, we now discover, left a variety of notes, descriptions and indications of materials to be used that are sufficient to reconstruct lost works. Is it not our duty to remake this life’s work, to recreate this legacy that might enrich lives, change perceptions and reinterpret experience? This artist is called Eileen McHugh. The previous, unfocused incompetent was called Leonardo da Vinci.
But where might I begin to remake the life and work of an artist like Eileen? We have no works, no studies or even failed projects awaiting reassembly. We know little of her undocumented life, whose destination remained unknown even to her own mother. But we all leave our own marks on time. Identifying them is the challenge, and then describing them becomes possible. Once reassembled, we might then remake Eileen McHugh’s life and reconstruct her works to enrich our collective experience. But where to start?
London, of course, changed everything. [mehr]

Man's Fate and God's Choice
An Agenda for Human Transformation
- Philosophie
- Englisch
- 267738 Wörter
- Ab 16 Jahren
- 745
Stagnate as a 'creepy caterpillar' or transform into a 'beauteous butterfly'-this path-breaking book of a rare genre suggests-is the seminal choice before mankind, and every one of us. In this setting, the book raises some fundamental questions: What is man's rightful place in the cosmos and his manifest destiny on earth? Why are we so self-righteously self-destructive? Are we a doomed species? Or 'divine' beings struggling to overcome the hubris of the human intellect? Is God getting weary of mankind? How should we synergize human effort and Divine Grace?
The book posits that any betterment in human behavior needs a cathartic change at the deepest levels. That requires diluting the dominance of the mind and reawakening the long-dormant intelligence of the human heart. To meet that challenge, we need minimum numbers, a 'critical mass' to create self-sustained momentum for transformation through consciousness change. And every single human of this generation should behave in such a way that he or she is that single person whose transformation could make the decisive species-scale difference. The book offers a menu of ideas and an agenda of action.
This book could be itself become an input to mobilize that very 'critical mass' it advocates for human transformation.
Well-planned and cohesively written, the book is noteworthy for its delightful blend of information and arguments, and reveals the depth of the author’s understanding of the human predicament... This is a closely argued and thought-provoking book...
The Hindu, 13 Sept 2011
[This book] is a gripping exposition on human nature and self-transformation without preference to religion... Challa has critically provided a foundational argument for a deeper discussion of philosophical and practical ideals concerning self-transformation... harmonizing the head and the heart is the way for humans to function as spiritual beings. Recommended by the USR.
The US Review of Books
[The author] reflects upon the crisis of contemporary civilizations and outlines a blueprint for a new world order based on progressive spiritual values and change of human consciousness. The strength of this treatise is the sweep of Challa’s reach and his treatment of a vastly complex set of issues that bedevil humankind today...
India International Center Quarterly, Summer 2012
As a thinker and erudite scholar, [the author] has made a profound study of the world situation and the moral decadence of man... [This book] deserves to be on the shelves of university, college and public libraries...
Triveni Magazine, July–Sept 2011
It is difficult to pigeon-hole this book as... a ‘prophetic discourse’, a ‘journey into the human mind’, a ‘guide for human survival’, a ‘spiritual treatise’. It is an amalgam of all these and more... the volume reaches out to those who are already uneasy about the way we on this earth are progressing.
