He does not require bigger and better bombs and missiles…His real need, his most terrible need, is for someone to listen to him, not as a “patient,” but as a human soul. —TAYLOR CALDWELL Quick Start Guide Joining the Movement Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul. —Wayne Dyer Capacity building by learning to live authentically is what The 40 Day Soul Fast is all about. Capacity building, in a way, is also about community building. It’s about growing into “the fullness of God” as a community (see Eph. 3 and 4). Don’t journey alone! There is power in community. There is strength in numbers. I challenge you to bring at least four friends along with you on this soul-healing adventure If everyone who picks up this book takes it upon him or herself to encourage four other people to participate, we would create an unstoppable movement! You may think that one healed soul cannot heal the world, but it can. If you would like to bring healing to your community, nation, or hemisphere —or if you would like to see positive change even closer—in your home, your family, church, or organization, please consider doing the following: 1. Give your pastor, group facilitator, or community leader a copy of the book. 2. Identify and promote the long-term benefits of soul healing. 3. Get The 40 Day Soul Fast program on the agenda and calendar! 4. Start a signup sheet. Pass around a clipboard asking interested individuals to sign up. 5. Start your own small group that meets weekly for the next eight weeks. 6. Find all the tools you need to become a soul fast leader online at www.soulfast.com. 7. Order books in larger quantities at a discount. 8. Buy two extra copies and share with two of your closest colleagues, family members, or friends. For more information about how to facilitate a 40 Day Soul Fast in any setting, please visit www.soulfast.com. Every one of us can make a difference. Together, we can heal the world. I am personally convinced that one person can be a change catalyst, a “transformer” in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader. —Steven Covey Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? (Isaiah 58:6 NIV) Preface For Freedom! To deprive a man of his natural liberty…is starvation of the soul. — Mohandas Gandhi I am so glad you have chosen to join me on this 40-day journey to greater mental, emotional, and spiritual health! If you are looking to transform your life, you are in the right place! Over the next eight weeks, I will teach you the foundational principles of spiritual and personal empowerment—no matter what your background or experience, you will learn and grow and be empowered like never before to maximize your personal potential and break through to greater success. My heart’s cry is to liberate the souls of humanity so people everywhere would be empowered to grow into their most authentic, God-created, divine selves. Of course, it is only through a personal relationship with your Creator that you can truly be set free.

    THE BRAIN and the SOUL Joseph

    THE BRAIN AND THE SOUL Joseph Lee OR CHRISTIANS the human soul traditionally represents the spirit F within, the life of the body, rationality and a passage through death into eternity. But today questions are being raised about the soul. There can be a disinclination to discuss it because of unwelcome overtones of dualism. Some people are even asking, ‘whatever happened to the soul?’ 1 and ‘do we still need a soul?’ 2 Modern biology demonstrates the role of the brain in how people experience meditation, liturgy and religious behaviour.3 A popular idea is that a ‘God spot’, a specific area active in religious experience, exists in the brain.4 But it still appears intuitively improbable that: … our most private feelings, original perceptions, special skills, hard- won achievements—our individuality, consciousness, our very souls and our ability to explain ourselves in language—are entirely determined by the electrical-chemical activity of a soft, wrinkled, grey-and-white 5 lump of matter that you could comfortably hold in one hand. 1 See Whatever Happened to the Soul?

Everybody is Talking About the Good Ole Days: RZA on the Soul of Music by Ericka Blount Danois If hip-hop tours, white appropriation, anniversary celebrations, books and hip-hop documentaries aren’t an indication that hip-hop has reached the status of Beatles-style nostalgia and reverence, then releasing a Wu-Tang Clan 20th anniversary reunion album, A BetterTomorrow, is solid proof that the genre has officially arrived. RZA, always the heart of the operation, worked tirelessly to round up the troops and dissolve beefs for the reunion album that dropped Dec. 2, 2014. “I wanted to make a record that pays homage to soul music and hip-hop,” he said about the making of this album. “I went to the past to make something for the future.” RZA came out of his own pockets to fund the album to the tune of half a million dollars. Some of the best in the industry are featured on the album—Rick Rubin, Adrian Younge, David Porter, Kenny Gamble and Rob Cavallo, all had their hands in the pot. Wu-Tang has always done things big and with vision. RZA led the 9-member group to an unprecedented label deal where each member was able to launch solo records. The deal allowed them to become the most revolutionary rap group of the mid-’90s releasing five group and 19 compilation albums totaling over 6 platinum records and over 40 million sold.

  • VISUALIZATION: God-Given Power Or New Age Danger? (Part Two) 1

    VISUALIZATION: God-Given Power Or New Age Danger? (Part Two) 1

    STATEMENT DN-388-2 VISUALIZATION: God-Given Power or New Age Danger? (Part Two) 1 by John Weldon and John Ankerberg Summary Although visualization can be adapted to almost any philosophy, in its popular usage it is loosely tied to a monistic or pantheistic world view that sees humans as divine and creators of their own reality. The practice itself en-hances and perhaps even sets up the development of the monistic ("all is one") states of consciousness foundational to the New Age movement. Visualization is commonly used in occult practice, from casting spells to contacting "inner advisors" or spirit guides. As such, Scripture prohibits New Age visualization. Yet even alleged Christian forms of visualization are insufficiently critiqued, of dubious value, and subject to abuse. Some have heralded the practice of visualization as one of "two important ‘new’ concepts in 20th century American life" (the other important concept being meditation).2 According to its New Age advocates, visualization, which combines mental concentration with directed imagery, is a powerful tool for achieving personal and corporate goals and changing physical, psychological, and spiritual reality. In Part One of this series we examined the nature, influence, and varieties of visualization, as well as the reasons people use it. In this concluding installment we will consider the world view commonly associated with visualization, dangers inherent in its practice, its occult aspects, and the question of whether Christian visualization can be a safe and biblical practice. WORLD VIEW Because the practice of visualization can be adapted to almost any philosophy and uniquely colored by it, there is no well-defined world view we could present that would always be representative.
