Newsletter 4 Newsletter #4 November 2017 Page 1 of 172 Dear Friend, September, 2016 We have all set out on a pilgrimage, a soulful walk toward the core of our heart that yearns to find safe refuge in the depth of God’s love. We could say that the ultimate purpose and essence of our quest is to retrieve our lost intimacy with God. Returning to the Source is and always will be a distinct journey for everyone – incomparable. At times the crossing will be one of great internal solitude. At other timesLetters it will be re:actively shared with traveling companions. Whether it is a time of inner seclusion or of vibrantly shared communal spirituality,2017 we allRetreat want to advance rapidly and skillfully through the lonely wilderness of illusory distractions and shallow impulses. In this complex age of extreme information overload, excessive stimulation, and, above all, distressing suffering in the world, we have learned to appreciate that mostly this is a voyage best made in the company of others. There is a profoundly sacred and transformative offering at the heart of this handbook: an effective modern-day spiritual path of growing God- consciousness called Freedom Walk – Path of Transformation®, a path that is completely rooted in and permeated with the teachings of its founders – Gourasana, Kalindi, and The Lady. Each has gifted the world with exceptionally powerful, practical, simple, wise, and life-altering teachings, tools, programs, and assistance. This handbook is homage to the possibility of a spiritual path as an avenue of transformation: inner development that reaches fruition in finding our true and loving relationship with God, compassion, selfless love, and a life free of toxic illusions. It also offers an opportunity to unlock our inherently joyful heart, radiant with the Love of God. Page 2 of 172 Wednesday, April 12th 2017 Munich Juan Latuf Dearest Lady, Many have regarded this years Retreat as a pivot, a triumph, and a decisive victory. In the end it seems that the overarching consensus is that in these 5 days we, as a Mission have overcome the insidiousness of trepidation, lukewarm faith and timorous conviction and instead we’ve fully embrace Gourasana in awakened awareness and devotion to stand unequivocally with His Mission, Kalindi and The Lady. The whole Event in some ways felt like a proclamation of Gourasana’s coming. I want to thank you Lady for this past Retreat. Your direction, guidance and inspiration were permeated in every single thread thorough out the weaving of this event. You were present at the foundation and at the boundary of the whole Retreat. Each correction and direction you gave to Vince, Shar, Daniel and I allowed us to re-calibrate the course we were taking and showed us what needed to be emphasized and expanded. But it wasn’t only your specific direction and teachings that made this Retreat what it was. It was wider than that. There is now across the Mission an unmistakable collective depth and seriousness. Also there is a consciousness of apprenticeship that allows everyone to move deep within with less resistance. The above-mentioned is possible because of the torrent of help and energy that you have been giving to all in the Mission in the last years. The depth of the Path, the solidity of The Freedom Walk, and the seriousness of your leaders are what they are today because of how you are guiding us all. In many ways I see the success of the Retreat as a Thank you to you and a statement that we are ready and desirous for more. When Vince walked into the room at the beginning of Day One it was electrifying. God’s Joy, delight, love and warmth filled the whole room. I will never forget the image of him jumping up and down his chair in sheer joyfulness. He felt different. Page 3 of 172 Liberated. Flowing, elastic and mutable to the ways God moves him. By allowing that he created receptivity and ease. I am very happy for everyone to witness Vince continuing to transform rapidly. The whole first day was powerfully gentle. He spoke about Devotion, prayer and love in as if he was lullabying the people’s hearts into the cradled of God’s love so that they could hear the unfiltered truths of the teachings without resistance and embrace it with eagerness. By the end of the first day people were ready to learn the ways of the Simple Path and discover the grace of prayer in every instance and circumstance of daily life. He cleared out many cobwebs of concepts a so that now the teachings can shine and be applied effectively. I also need to mention here how impressed I am by the consciousness of the people in Arizona. Every single sharing from them was vivacious, wise, deep and loving. They were the youngest participants during the event always emanating a vibrancy that lifted everyone and brought depth. I mentioned this as I feel it’s also an expression of the effectiveness of Vince’s master hood and his relentless love for them. It is powerful for everyone to see each other change. When we see a leader who has lead us and trusted for many years transform and take massive leaps is impact- fully encouraging. Feeling and seeing Shar during the Retreat was inspiring to all. She has always had the ability to articulate things with clarity and precision. But now with the softening that is happening in her heart and the corrections you have helped her with, her leadership has changed and is more powerful. It is not merely about conveying a view or a teaching, it’s about the love and how to reach the other’s heart and mobilize effortlessly consciousness. Her speaking about needless suffering was flawless, personal and warm. Needless Suffering is one of the lasting parts of the Retreat that is still alive in people’s conversations and inner work. It touched a deep chord in all. She played Kalindi’s talk “Love Everything” at the beginning of her presentation and I could not help but to think that she is beginning to self realize that talk and it showed. Daniel’s presentation was an expression of a leader who never stops giving to others while he is simultaneously doing serious work on himself. An inspiration. While he was speaking I found my self repeating again and again “Yes, Daniel. Yes”. He Page 4 of 172 spoke on how to learn to redirect and harness the energy of emotions and feelings into the focus of the longing and essentially the need to learn to turn to God with everything. He spoke that the problem is not with what one is feeling but how our mind decides to interpret that feeling and the importance to recognize the longing in everything we feel. One statement from you that stayed in the memory of all was “That all can be reduced to Longing.” The main part that I had at the Retreat was to offer a tribute to David Swanson. When it was clear that I was going to do that I felt honored and also apprehensive. Honored because I have always felt a deep affinity and great indebtedness for him. I felt cautious because of the respect I feel for him and the fact that I never met him and felt I could not really speak about him in the ways that people who were with him can. Back in January when I contemplated about how to offer a tribute to David I came to see that the only way I could genuinely do it was placing myself in a spiritual retreat until The Retreat. I wanted to honor him by talking from the perspective of someone who was not with him but who has benefited vastly by his sacrifice and in doing so hopefully make him more approachable to those that like me who did not know him personally. I have known of David. I have known David but I realized I have never “met” him. That is why I choose to set myself on course to meet him by placing myself in serious spiritual program for 6 week before the Retreat. My program included austerities, reading in the mornings and in the evenings only material I had about him, not as texts to be studied but as a living and powerful expression of the seed of our Mission and the Simple Path. I meditated to his favorite music. I took on the practice of contemplating his picture for periods of time every day. I began to pray to Saint David. I invited and allowed extreme discomfort. Finally I choose to specifically apply his rules to live by to every challenge I was facing. With all these preparation practices I intended to promote communion with David and increase the knowledge and understanding of him and his path. All these practices lead me away from the false comfort of the familiar and brought me into a very serious place within that I can only describe as being abducted by Page 5 of 172 sober desire. I learned of the peace of the dissolution of my ways when I accept His way even when at times it felt intolerable. I thought that for people to get to know David in a new way and renovate their appreciation for him that immersing them selves and working on the The Rules to Live By would renew their appreciation of the man who made it possible for Gourasana to come.

    TRANSCRIPT—WILLIAM LEONARD Interviewee: WILLIAM LEONARD Interviewer: SAMUEL BAKER Interview Date: March 25th, 2013 Location: The Citadel, Capers Hall, Charleston, South Carolina Length: 1 hour, 38 minutes, and 15 seconds SAMUEL BAKER: Hello, good afternoon. Today is March 25th, and we’re here at The Citadel for the Veteran’s History Project. And today I’m going to be interviewing Mr. William Leonard. Would you want to start off by telling us about your childhood here in Charleston beforehand? WILLIAM LEONARD: Let’s start by that I guess. I was born in Charleston, 97 Tradd Street, in May 17th, 1925. I was born into a family, two sisters, older sisters, and one brother, and I was the youngest in the family. And my mother was from the old, one of the old families of Charleston. And my father was what we call a maverick in Charleston. He was a fella that was born in Alabama—Birmingham, Alabama—and he came here when he was two years old in 19—in 1896. And he was never a Charlestonian. But he married into a Charleston family so that made him be, be, in. He always—my father doesn’t like Charlestonians. SB: Very well, fair enough. WL: But anyway, made him a little [bit of an] outsider. I went to local schools. And ended up by going to a school in Mt. Pleasant because they started a new school over there, and they had girls in there, and I was 16 years old and was quite interested in girls. Graduated from over there in 1943, and immediately my father put me in The Citadel.

  • One Thousand Miles II
    Word Count: 2,495 One Thousand Miles “Not fair,” I shout. “It’s always Doug.” Slamming the front door, I pull out my cell, hit autodial, and start walking. “Kim, it’s me, Darcy. Mom did it again—not going—can’t. She gave the car to Doug.” Kimmie shrieks, and I inch the phone away from my ear. “I know, I know. Can you believe it? He played the I’ve got a date card again. I’m sick of this crap, tired of begging. Today is the day. When I get my car, I’m gonna drive and drive—one thousand miles—and never look back.” *** Kim picks me up, and we drive in silence. She’s driven me too many places not to know I’m upset. The trip to Russelton is long, but it helps me collect my thoughts before the big purchase: driver’s license, money, Blue Book. “Pull in here,” I say, pointing to a gas station beside the road. She parks beside one of the pumps and scans the sprinkle of fields, trees, and homes along the road. “Is it safe?” “We’re not in the boonies,” I say, knowing the only place Kim feels safe is the mall. “My Aunt Shar lives here.” I point to a yellow two-story house with a garden in the front yard. “It’s where I babysit my cousin, Maddy.” “I still can’t believe you’re doing this without your mom,” she says, checking her lip gloss in the mirror. “Want me to stay?” “Nahhh, I’m fine.” Hopping from the car, I watch her drive away before trudging down the road.

By this I mean that for much of human history, marriage has been an economic arrangement. Love, despite the forward thinking nature of one William Shakespeare, would not become a true part of the equation until a couple of hundred years ago. For most of human history, women were considered more like property and subordinates than equals to men and marriage was an arranged matter. Then a peculiar experiment that really hadn’t been tried before happened a couple of hundred years ago. Many were sure it would not last and that the idea was dangerous. The idea was democracy. The experiment happened in the newly formed United States. The idea was so scary to many colonial conservatives that they returned to England or fled to Canada. With the advent of voice and choice in people’s lives--as well as inventions like the bicycle, telephone, and automobile, which allowed for people to meet one another more easily--it is not surprising that the institution of marriage changed, paralleling the women’s civil rights movement.

Method: Qualitative and ethnographic research developed with families during the gestational process. We adopted the observation- participation-refl ection model, and the analysis was performed according to ethnonursing.Results: Care rituals are related to the choice of home as a place for childbirth, being characterized as a family’s rite of separation to experience this process. Other care rituals involved the preparation of the family and the eldest child as well as the home, the body, and the mind of the pregnant woman, and the choice of destination of the placenta. Final considerations: We must understand the birth process beyond the biological perspective, considering women and their family as a whole, within a cultural context with their beliefs and values.

  • 3Rd Grade Unit Introduction Kindness in the Classroom Lessons Teach
    3rd Grade Unit Introduction Sub-Concepts Covered: Perseverance, Kindness, Kindness in the Classroom lessons teach kindness skills through a step-by step framework of Inspire, Empower, Act, Reflect and Share. Each lesson starts with the ‘share’ step to reinforce learning from previous lessons. The ‘act’ piece is woven into the lessons but really takes place in the projects. This unit is the fourth of our six unit series. We will introduce the concept of integrity as it relates to honesty and perseverance during this unit. Since this is the first grade that dives deeper into the actual concept of integrity, we will build off of honesty to aid in comprehension and application. The focus of this unit is twofold- understanding the importance and value of honesty as it relates to kindness, and using honest methods to persevere towards accomplishing personal goals. Unit Objective Students will: ● Review respect, caring, and inclusiveness. ● Define honesty, dishonesty, and perseverance. ● Understand the concept of “white lies” and how they build on each other. ● Identify strategies that help people persevere through challenges. ● Reinforce the skill of perseverance through goal development and follow through. Student Introduction Thank you for practicing inclusiveness in our classroom as I observe others including new friends and trying out new ideas in a kind, caring, and respectful manner! We are ready to explore Integrity. This is an advanced word that connects back to honesty and always telling the truth, even when others aren’t around. We

    i ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF ARTS, HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES PERSONALITY TRAITS AS INDICATORS OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS’ INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION COMPETENCE FARIS SALIM ALLEHYANI A thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Anglia Ruskin University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Submitted: January 2020 i Acknowledgements Undertaking research and completing a PhD thesis are proud achievements for any academic, largely because it is not an easy process, and there have been many hurdles along my own path to success. For this reason, there are a number of people to whom I am eternally indebted for their support and love, with whom I have shared this stressful but deeply fulfilling journey, and without whom this thesis would never have been completed. First, I would like to thank my supervisors Professor Guido Rings and Dr. Bettina Beinhoff, who have guided me through the most difficult times of the writing process. I left every supervision meeting and class feeling more inspired, more knowledgeable and perhaps most important, more capable of my own abilities. Their patience and support have been unwavering throughout my time as a PhD researcher at Anglia Ruskin University. Moreover, their wisdom and insight have helped to make this project the best it can be. I would like to thank everybody at the school of humanities and social sciences at Anglia Ruskin University who taught me, either formally or informally, and who made my time here so enjoyable and rewarding. Anglia Ruskin University is an inspiring place where I felt nurtured. The encouragement to pursue my own goals and discuss my ideas with peers and tutors has developed my academic mind.
