As I mentioned last time, I'm going a bit out of order here, with my new review of Paths to Immortality by Johann Baptist Krebs, which not only came out before The Rebirth, but was written by its author's teacher.

At any rate, what I found most helpful here was its depiction of a skeptic becoming a believer, not through a sudden opening of the heavens, but through stubborn hard work at the direction of a trusted friend.

Let me know what you think!

[personal profile] k_a_nitz was kind enough to send me a copy of The Rebirth by Karl Kolb, which is a quirky little book on Christian "letter mysticism," which is, on its own, not so directly within my spiritual wheelhouse, but the book turned out to have lots of interesting bits in its few (~100) pages.

Back to our series on Maria Kvilhaug's Seed of Yggdrasill, this time reviewing the chapter on Death and Resurrection.

A shorter post this week, I talk a bit about what I miss about mindfulness meditation and the two techniques I turn to these days to get the kind of break from stress and anxiety I used to look for from mindfulness meditation. If you have any ways that you look for stillness amidst the chaos of life, I more than welcome hearing about it!
