This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of A Symphony of Silence: An Enlightened Vision was inspired by the desire to share with humanity, through multiple voices, the ineffable beauty we experience in our lives when the veil of ignorance is pulled back and the wonder of our essential nature is revealed.. The voices emerging from these pages add vitality and validity to our shared experience of the silence of the transcendent. It is not something beyond our reach, but a reality that has always been with us, quietly awaiting an opportunity to unfold. In this second edition of A Symphony of Silence, several new voices are added to the chorus of the first edition. A Catholic priest tells us of using TM as part of his inspired vision of the power of love to transform the lives of abused and destitute children from the streets of South America. The founding director of an orphanage and school in Uganda, who likewise brings TM to children in need, describes to us his compassionate resolve to eradicate suffering within his community. A poet expresses for us in verse the joy of a seeker reaching for the light. A scientist and his colleagues show us the power of TM to reduce stress and alleviate PTSD in the field of law enforcement. An actor, director, producer, and entrepreneur, explores with us his innovative projects for inner city students through “Edutainment.” Women, who for decades dedicated themselves to introducing the TM program to their multicultural community, share with us delightful and very personal stories. A pioneering social activist brings us into the conversation he had with Maharishi in 1968 at a conference in Squaw Valley, California. He talked candidly with Maharishi about the need to introduce TM as a tool to bring inner freedom to the inner cities, helping to fulfill the quest for true civil rights. The voices in A Symphony of Silence create a glimpse into the vast impact that Maharishi has on many lives throughout the world.

Book excerpt: "Maharishi's beneficent influence on the world is both profound and subtle, immediate yet measured. Only as it continues to expand among nations and engage new generations will we be able to grasp more fully its true impact and gauge more globally the fulfillment it is bringing to all humanity. George A. Ellis, in his tribute to Maharishi, A Symphony of Silence, has begun this process for us by chronicling the far-reaching effect Maharishi has already had on science, art, philosophy, religion, education, and many other vital areas of human endeavor. Through a compelling collection of interviews, anecdotes, and essays, Mr. Ellis has assembled in a single volume the stories of a diverse group of creative thinkers, theorists, and trendsetters-leaders and lay people alike-many of whom worked directly with Maharishi and all of whose lives and contributions to the world were indelibly shaped by Maharishi's teachings. A Symphony of Silence is a potent foretaste of how the world will remember and celebrate Maharishi in the years and centuries to come." -TONY NADER, M.D., PH.D., MARR. Tony Nader, M.D., Ph.D., MARR, is a medical doctor trained at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Ph.D. in neuroscience) and Harvard University, and a globally recognized Vedic scholar. Dr Nader is head of the international Transcendental Meditation(R) organizations worldwide. "Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has given to the whole world the fullness of Vedic knowledge in the effortless practice of Transcendental Meditation, thereby making it valuable for, and available to, each individual. It is also a very important and effective means for the spiritual regeneration and social reconstruction of every nation.Bringing forth the true nature of India's Vedic knowledge and unfolding it in terms of modern science was a supreme task that restored India's glory as Jagatguru, and it could only have been accomplished from the unboundedness of pure and divine Brahman Consciousness."- SHRIMAD JYOTISHPEETHADHEESHWAR JAGADGURU SHANKRACHARYA SWAMI VASUDEVANANDA SARASWATI JI MAHARAJ In the Indian editions (English & Hindi) of A Symphony of Silence: An Enlightened Vision, several new voices are added to the chorus of the earlier publications: The Shankaracharya acknowledges the significance of His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's contribution and efforts to create a better world. Maharishi ji fulfilled his duty to his master by providing technologies that respect the ancient traditions of India congruent with the language and discoveries of empirically based sciences. The expositions highlight the power of innocence in unfolding and experiencing pure knowledge. The artist Nihar Das demonstrates visually his transcendental experiences in the process of creative expression. Anand Shrivastava, initiated by Maharishi ji at 7 years of age, would eventually join Maharishi ji's organization. Anand took on a comprehensive role expanding the knowledge to touch all areas of life from education to health and agriculture under the umbrella of ancient knowledge and modern science. India is transforming on multiple levels and as an economic power. Moreover, the role of women in society is evolving, the voices of Aditi Shrivastava, and Malini Durbhakula enliven a new perspective integrating the impact of higher consciousness and service to society. Neena Wagh, our precious translator shares her evolution of consciousness, illustrating the power of knowledge and technique as two sides of a coin, which is essential for rapid personal development. The author concludes with a reflection on how innocence has the power to generate enlightenment and wisdom and voices from India, such as Vivek Vaidyanathan, who highlights the insights of the new generation in Indian society, juxtaposed with business leader Mr. Navratan Agarwal, highlight the value of TM technologies in India's evolving society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live at a time when societies are riven with division and strife. What hope is there for us to heal? Healing Social Divisions provides a radically new, non-ideological and effective consciousness- based approach for transforming our societies. Peer-reviewed research provides evidence that it is possible to neutralise stress in the collective consciousness of a society. This then promotes life, liberty, happiness, heals social divisions and creates the platform for good governance. The research challenges the conventional wisdom that consciousness is only a by-product of brain functioning. Along the route it examines our self-concept, freeing us from the biases of reductionism that impede the development of morality in our public life.

Book excerpt: Discover your own deep well of wisdom in Intuition: Knowing Beyond Logic—from one of the greatest spiritual teachers of the twentieth century. Intuition deals with the difference between the intellectual, logical mind and the more encompassing realm of spirit. Logic is how the mind knows reality, intuition is how the spirit experiences reality. Osho’s discussion of these matters is wonderfully lucid, occasionally funny, and thoroughly engrossing. All people have a natural capacity for intuition, but often social conditioning and formal education work against it. People are taught to ignore their instincts rather than to understand and use them as a foundation for individual growth and development—and in the process they undermine the very roots of the innate wisdom that is meant to flower into intuition. In this volume, Osho pinpoints exactly what intuition is and gives guidelines for how to identify its functioning in others and ourselves. You will learn to distinguish between genuine intuitive insight and the “wishful thinking” that can often lead to mistaken choices and unwanted consequences. Includes many specific exercises and meditations designed to nourish and support each individual’s natural intuitive gifts. Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

Book excerpt: Millions of us are locked into an unwinnable weight game, as our self-worth is shredded with every diet failure. Combine the utter inefficacy of dieting with the lack of spiritual nourishment and we have generations of mad, ravenous self-loathing women. So says Geneen Roth, in her life-changing new book, Women, Food and God. Since her 1991 bestseller, When Food Is Love, was published, Roth has taken the sum total of her experience and combined it with spirituality and psychology to explain women's true hunger. Roth's approach to eating is that it is the same as any addiction - an activity to avoid feeling emotions. From the first page, readers will be struck by the author's intelligence, humour and sensitivity, as she traces the path of overeating from its subtle beginnings through to its logical end. Whether the drug is booze or brownies, the problem is the same: opting out of life. She powerfully urges readers to pay attention to what they truly need - which cannot be found in a supermarket. She provides seven basic guidelines for eating (the most important is to never diet) and shares reassuring, practical advice that has helped thousands of women who have attended her highly successful seminars. Truly a thinking woman's guide to eating - and an anti-diet book - women everywhere will find insights and revelations on every page.

Book excerpt: Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.
