Draws on Gnosticism and Hermeticism to explore seven esoteric mysteries of feminine wisdom that are supported by practices Offers a wisdom teaching on integral spirituality and pansentience, encounters with spiritual entities, dreams, and reincarnation Explores the masculine principle of logos and how to integrate it with feminine eros in sacred marriageHieros Gamosto achieve wholeness and mystical insightSince the dawn of Christianity, the Sophia tradition has been suppressed and shrouded in secrecy. Drawing on Gnosticism and Hermeticism, this book presents divine feminine principles and teachings that are at the heart of the Sophia tradition and how they can be applied to enrich spiritual knowledge and practice.Author Lee Irwin writes from a masculine perspective that honors and celebrates feminine insights, relations, and shared attitudes toward the sacred. The mysteries he shares are grouped in two sections: the lesser mysteries of body, mind, and soul and the greater mysteries of salvation, sacred union, the world soul, and reincarnation.The lesser mysteries encourage greater personal awareness through the healing of old wounds and empowerment through responsibility. Irwin explores sacred sexuality and incarnation as a praxis that emphasizes the celebration of the body as temple. Through the greater mysteries readers learn how to develop transpersonal awareness, raise consciousness, and become receptive to gnosis through dreams and encounters with spiritual entities. Irwin then describes the masculine principle of logos and how to integrate it with feminine eros through alchemical unionHieros Gamosto achieve wholeness and mystical insight.Feminine wisdom is a processa way and not a destination. Divine Feminine Gnosis offers readers on any spiritual path an approach to living that is aimed toward heart-centered wisdom and an embodied experience of the transcendent.

From a member of the Pussy Riot collective: An urgent, intimate, firsthand account of grassroots dissent, bravery, art, and spectacle in Putins RussiaPicking up where Riot Days left off, Maria (Masha) Alyokhina takes us through her activist experiences between 2014 to 2022. In vivid, diary-like vignettes, we follow her as she goes in and out of Russian prisons, continually dodges police violence, protests at the Sochi Olympics, flies to Kyiv to stand in solidarity with Ukraine, defends the high-level dissident Alexi Navalny, drops banners at Trump Tower, andin 2022flees from Russia in disguise to escape a new prison sentence.Spanning settings from Moscow to London to New York to Harvard, Political Girl has an artistic sensibility, a punk ethos, a deep moral clarity, and an inimitably dry Russian wit. It portrays not only Mashas political activities but also her personal arc: the friends she makes in prison, the woman she falls in love with, her bond with her young son Filip, and her deep passion for art and history. As Trump attempts to bring Putin-style authoritarianism to the U.S., Mashas message to Americans is one of solidarity and hope.

An essential critique of American Buddhism11 Asian American women reclaim a vibrant feminist Dharma against whitewashing, patriarchy, and model-minority stereotypesMainstream American Buddhism is often portrayed through a narrow, problematic lens: a group of mostly white converts sits on cushions. Eyes closed, blissed out, serenely meditatingthis is Buddhism made passive and patriarchal, scrubbed of the rich complexities, myriad expressions, historical nuances, and creative ways of being that animate the living, beating heart of feminist Asian American Buddhism.This book is an overdue correction to whitewashed American ideas of the dharma. Editor Sharon Suh, PhD, offers a first-of-its-kind anthology that pushes back against patriarchal appropriation, orientalized stereotypes, and the idea that Buddhism means meditationand meditation only. The books 11 essays offer a richer, more dynamic vision of Buddhist spirituality. Each asks into vital questions like:Must we meditate? Can other actspracticing martial arts, performing Japanese tea ceremonies, attuning to the spirit world, visiting cemeteries, hand-making objectsoffer new relationships to the dharma? What does it mean to be a Bad Buddhist Auntie who teaches new generations as an imperfect ancestor? Or to be a feminist killjoy who sees Buddhism as a means of healing the wounds of marginalization? How can we live withnot in ignorance ofBuddhisms own history of driving state violence?What do we owe our parentsespecially our mothers, to whom we are karmically bound? And how can Buddhism teach us not only about obedience, but about self-love? Each essay helps the reader question dominant narratives, wrestle with ambivalence and authenticity, or explore creative expressions of Buddhist spirituality. Together, the 11 writers offer an invitation into the anxieties, joys, struggles, disavowals, and desires that shape their relationship to the dharmaand they expand the category of Buddhist life and practice in a timely, necessary reclamation.

How the coders of our digital worlds think, work, and live.Digital technologies shape nearly every aspect of our lives. Yet little attention has been paid to the tech workers who design and program these technologies. Instead, the spotlight often falls on two extremes: the elite class of tech entrepreneurs and the precarious digital proletariat of gig and crowd workers. This narrow focus has left a critical gap in understanding the middle-class professionals operating behind the scenes of digital capitalism.Drawing on over 50 original interviews and discourse analytical research conducted in the US and Germany, The Social Codes of Tech Workers takes readers deep into their hearts and minds. Robert Dorschel demonstrates how tech workers subjectivity is structured by a return of social critique, hybrid professional roles, and distinctive lifestyles. The book identifies tech workers as a contradictory class formation, oscillating between a spirit of emancipation and yet another spirit of capitalism. This work will appeal to scholars across disciplines concerned with digital labor, identity, and class, as well as to the broader public interested in the culture of the tech industry and the evolving future of work.

An intersectional analysis of evangelical purity cultures influence on gender, sexuality, race, and national identity in the United States. With a foreword by Linda Kay Klein, author of Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement that Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free.In After Purity, purity scholar Sara Moslener conducts a nuanced investigation of purity culture in white evangelical Christianity, revealing its profound impact on gender, sexuality, race, and national identity in the United States. Moslener shares exclusive stories of participants from her research on the After Purity Project to discuss how purity culture affected womenparticularly white womenwho grew up in the evangelical church. These stories depict how white supremacy has a hand in constructing idealized traditional or biblical views of family, white racial identity, sexuality, gender expression, and religion, and how our physical bodies are situated within systems of power and oppression.With a blend of history, current research, and sustained analysis, Moslener explores how white evangelicalism has become so politically powerful, why gender and sexuality are positioned at the center of debate, and how those debates aim to obscure deeper histories of white evangelical racism. She describes the full disturbing effect of the True Love Waits movement and how purity teachings displaced all other forms of religious education in evangelicalism. From her interviewees in the After Purity Project, she shares stories of oppressive personal piety, sexual repression, disembodiment, self-hatred, mandatory hetero-normativity, and the many layers of obligation and shame in sexuality before reaching adulthood and navigating their way out of the church. Moslener also describes her own story of being a teen advocate for purity culture to becoming a researcher, scholar, and advocate for people harmed by purity.After Purity provides a window into the world of white evangelicalism and how its leaders and political allies have manufactured socio-sexual panic to justify the elimination of sexual and religious diversity that thrive in a flourishing democracy.

A classic of Brazilian literature is twinned with an overheated tract in which tropical delirium swallows up Western philosophy, attacking the decolonial question with poetic ferocity.A classic of Brazilian literature is twinned with an overheated tract in which tropical delirium swallows up Western philosophy. Both attack the decolonial question with poetic ferocity, ignited by the moment when colonialist rationality meets its limits in the "magnificent disorder" of the Amazon jungle. Described in Eduardo Viveiros de Castros foreword as "no longer an interpretation of Brazil but an interpenetration with Brazil," Jean-Christophe Goddards strange theory-fiction plunges Western philosophy into the great American schizophrenia, where its ordered categories are devored by uncontainable contaminationsfirst and foremost the rainforest itself, a "monstrosity unapproachable by the cogito." In 1664, the Portuguese Bento de Espinosa wrote of his terrifying hallucination of "a scabby black Brazilian." But rather than a vision of "the Other," the dream figure was a frightful glimpse of Bentos own duplicity. Upon adopting the "clean white nickname" of Benedict de Spinoza, the philosopher cut ties with his homeland and its colonial misadventures, repudiating this specter that flees along the lines of migration: "Spinoza is American the journey is intensive." And in his wake, a cannibalized cast of conceptual personae are sucked into Goddards Pernambucan delirium: Franny Deleuze, Dina Levi-Strauss, Chaya Ohloclitorispector, Galli Mathias The rainforest also precipitates a deregulation of the senses in Verdant Inferno, Alberto Rangels classic 1904 work of Brazilian literature. In Rangels astonishing tales, this "poet-engineer" sent into the dark interior as a state representative records his encounters in a style that shimmers between objective documentary and visionary limit experience.

"Grand phenomena do not strike us the less when we have discovered something of their wonderful mechanism" is it a modern apology for the reunification of science and faith? Not really. The text written by St. Basil is 1,600 years old and is the golden line for the Catholic tradition from its beginnings to our days. The purpose of this book is to show the reader how to discover this in the history of Christian encounters with science. St. Paul began it, St. Augustine brought it to excellence, St. Thomas Aquinas made it visible to all. Yes, there was an outbreak of conflict in this area, culminating in the 19th century, but the future is not necessarily so dark. We have so many spiritual masters to learn from. We, the present dwarfs, can see further, sitting on the shoulders of giants... Yes, this brilliant saying also comes from the Catholic tradition.

Andrew R. Johnson asks why it is the case that "believing" is centrally significant in and for Christianity. He argues that if we attend to the various implicit dimensions of explicit faith and to the holistic character of Christian believing then this central significance becomes more intelligible. The study aims to be a work of Protestant systematic theology, first and foremost, but one that is of ecumenical value. Johnson engages continental, analytic, and American pragmatic philosophers as they reflect on the human phenomenon of believing, intentional action, embodied cognition, and the relation between theory and practice. Theologically the study engages with Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican and Roman Catholic theologians as they reflect on the nature of faith in Christ amidst the concrete realities of life and the encounter with God through those concrete realities. Key interlocutors of the study include Rudolf Bultmann, Karl Barth, Cornelius Ernst, Fergus Kerr, Ludwig Wittgenstein, H.H. Price, Robert Brandom, and Andrew Inkpin, in addition to others.

This monograph places young people at its core, treating them as the focus of research conducted by scholars in sociology, theology, pedagogy and psychology. These inquiries address religious education conceived as the sum of interventions aimed at cultivating an individuals life skills within a religious framework. Religious education is orientated towards the development of personal awareness and competencies, as well as ones engagement with the wider world. Its aim is to enable young people to interpret human existence independently and rationally, and to support their understanding of themselves and the world in light of their professed faith. A thorough and rigorous study of the current state of youth religious education in Poland may facilitate questions for future discussion concerning the objectives, content and forms of religious instruction. The research findings elucidate the reasons underpinning both participation in and withdrawal from religious education classes, and they offer reflections and recommendations for work in the field of youth religious education and for enhancing the competencies of religious education teachers.
