Story5 out of 5 stars 2
While visiting Russia in his 20s, Rainer Maria Rilke, one of the 20th century's greatest poets, was moved by a spirituality he encountered there. Inspired, Rilke returned to Germany and put down on paper what he felt were spontaneously received prayers. Rilke's Book of Hours is the invigorating vision of spiritual practice for the secular world and a work that seems remarkably prescient today, 100 years after it was written.

Love love loved it! Beautiful, spiritual, mystical, revelant, inspired, Dictated from god to Rilke age 23. As relevant today as the day he wrote it 100 years ago. The first book I have reread many times. Even listening to the German which I do not understand did not interfere.

Within you is a wellspring of strength and resilience, the ability to create and enjoy abundance, and an expansive sense of inner freedom and divinity. Yet after centuries of living in patriarchal societies, many women don’t realize how powerful they are—or how much they’ve been enculturated to keep their true nature hidden. In Roar Like a Goddess, trailblazing Vedic spiritual teacher Acharya Shunya empowers women to step into their divine immensity and lead powerful, abundant, and wise lives through her revolutionary revisioning of ancient India’s goddess archetypes.

Had issues with it as a desi feminist as she still appeases the patriarchy

What I was surprised was a gift of this book was a new world view. It was her description of Durga that I found most intriguing. She is the goddess of creation and destruction. If only The over culture saw destruction as part of the ultimate plan. I loved hearing the stories of each goddess. The author is a wonderful story teller. I love that she offered meditations, contemplations and actions with each goddess. I loved having a fuller sense of Lakshmi. The idea is that these powerful goddesses live within us. This provides insight and offers a new lens to find meaning in your life. I found myself pausing it and writing notes the whole time. This is soul stuff and worth your time. 💕

In Becoming Wise, Tippett distills the insights she has gleaned from this luminous conversation in its many dimensions into a coherent narrative journey, over time and from mind to mind, into what it means to be human. The book is a master class in living, individually and collectively, curated by Tippett and accompanied by a delightfully ecumenical dream team of a teaching faculty. Wisdom emerges through the raw materials of the everyday.

I love Krista, her manner of speaking, the questions she thinks to ask and the depth of the answers she elicits. I'm humbled. I'm grateful to be a part of a world she so generously frames. This human to you, enjoy the experience.
