A collection of 111 pieces of prose and poetry traversing through time and space as I wander and roam through the journey of healing, self-reclamation and profound spiritual remembrance. Words that move through me, are me, that become me. Set in both the wild forests and coasts of England and the deep red earth and white sands of the South Australian coast. These pieces explore and express the deep human experience of coming home to Self and our earth whilst growing within and living in our modern society. Tales of love, heartbreak, despair, bliss, grief, joy, darkness and delight. A candle lit path through the woodlands of self-growth and inner work. A true telling of the psycho-spiritual descent to soul. A women's story as she grapples with what it means to be a women in this world. A revelation of unlearnings and teachings. Words of red hot rage and honey-drizzled love. A love affair with the universe. A steamy romance with Mother Nature. An on-going conversation with my higher cons
This book reflects upon the political philosophy of Muhammad Iqbal, a towering intellectual figure in South Asian history, revered by many for his poetry and his thought. He lived in India in the twilight years of the British Empire and, apart from a short but significant period studying in the West, he remained in Punjab until his death in 1938. The book studies Iqbal's critique of nationalist ideology and his attempts to chart a path for the development of the 'nation' by liberating it from the centralizing and homogenizing tendencies of the modern state structure. Iqbal frequently clashed with his contemporaries over his view of nationalism as 'the greatest enemy of Islam'. He constructed his own particular interpretation of Islam - forged through an interaction with Muslim thinkers and Western intellectual traditions - that was ahead of its time, and since his death both modernists and Islamists have continued to champion his legacy.
In this global introduction to philosophy of religion you begin not with a single tradition, but with religious philosophies from East Asia, South Asia, West Africa, and Native North America, alongside the classical Abrahamic and modern European traditions. Matching this diversity of traditions, chapters are organized around questions that acknowledge there is no single understanding of any god or ultimate reality.

The categories of religion and philosophy are interrogated throughout. Equipped with study tools and universal questions about the self and the cosmos, Philosophies of Religion: A Glob
