DOWNLOAD EBOOKHave you ever lost a friendship and had no idea why? IF you had the chance to meet and talk with your heroes to get the answers... would you? IF they offered you advice and wisdom on how to solve a particular problem... would you listen? Do you have heroes but haven't yet learned how to tune into their messages, their accomplishments and their lives to find some measure of meaning in your own? Grandfather has returned to visit with Bob Anderson as he struggles with friendships. And this time, Grandfather has brought friends to help enlighten Bob as he ponders: Is the reality that "real" people experience, the only reality we have? Is everything else simply coincidental or accidental? Can our fictional heroes really impact our lives? We "try on parts of other people" to see if they fit. What does, we keep—what doesn't, we discard. In the process, we become who we are supposed to be. Nothing is coincidental or accidental... Grandfather and his friends impart ageless truths to lift your heart and open your eyes. When Grandfather Speaks Again... what will you hear? What will you learn?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn The Circle of Fire (formerly published as Prayers: A Communion With Our Creator) Ruiz inspires us to enter into a new and loving relationship with ourselves, with our fellow humans, and with all of creation. Through a selection of beautiful essays, prayers, and guided meditations, Ruiz prepares our minds for a new way of seeing life, and opens our hearts to find our way back to our birthright: heaven on earth. The result is a life lived in joy, harmony, and contentment. In my teachings, "The Circle of Fire" ceremony celebrates the most important day of our lives: the day when we merge with the fire of our spirit, and return to our own divinity. This is the day when we recover the awareness of what we really are, and make the choice to live in communion with that force of creation we call "Life" or "God." From that day forward, we live with unconditional love in our hearts for ourselves, for life, for everything in creation. This book, first published in 2001 as "Prayers: A Communion with Our Creator," will remind you of what you really are. It has always been my favorite book, and now in honor of my favorite prayer, it has been appropriately renamed "The Circle of Fire." -- don Miguel Ruiz

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe tradition of British realism has changed dramatically over the last 20 years, where films by directors such as Duane Hopkins, Joanna Hogg, Andrea Arnold, Shane Meadows and Clio Barnard have suggested a markedly poetic turn. This new realism rejects the instrumentalism and didacticism of filmmakers like Ken Loach in favour of lyrical and often ambiguous encounters with place, where the physical processes of lived experience interacts with the rhythms of everyday life. Taking these 5 filmmakers as case studies, this book seeks to explore in depth this new tradition of British cinema - and in the process, it reignites debates over realism that have concerned scholars for decades.
