Download or read book Kindling Our Stars: Nurturing Bright and Dark Flames written by Genevieve Wood and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-07-24 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of essays lays out the essence of FlameKeeping, the creation of Genevieve Wood. It is not a religion, but a philosophy that can either stand alone or be used in conjunction with other spiritual paths. She defines the Bright and Dark Flames, discusses keeping them in balance, and then offers thought-provoking essays about using this framework in everyday life. Covering topics from creating a FlameKeeping-based society to being comfortable with one's self (alone, but not lonely) to raising children with the precepts of this framework to dealing with societal parasites, this is a practical workbook designed to help readers probe their own worldview and discover deeper answers via prompts at the end of each essay. She also sets forth the concept of a Wayfinder, one who asks the questions that lead people to investigate themselves and their surroundings within a FlameKeeping mindset. Ms. Wood challenges readers to add to the Flame, not merely warm themselves with it.
