Book excerpt: Every year millions of people all over the world embark upon a spiritual quest, the quest for enlightenment and every year millions of people all over the world are instructed by others to follow a path by which one can become enlightened but there is no path to follow by which one can become enlightened.So, one does not look for a path to follow nor a system or method that will assure one of enlightenment. If something new is to be discovered there must be an understanding of the ways of the self. Understanding the self is not a matter of resolution but of awareness, meditation and attention. Only understanding alone can transcend the self and bring about a tranquil mind and the Truth that is enlightenment...1. Education 2. Discipline 3. Anxiety, annoyance and anger is suffering 4. Steps, systems, paths, roads and methods are all a form of postponement 5. Moving from negative thinking to positive thinking is moving towards an opposite that doesn't exist 6. The solution to the problem is not to have the problem in the first place 7. How do I learn about fear when fear is preventing me from learning about fear? 8. The biggest obstacle to learning and understanding is thought itself 9. Why do we judge, opinionate, compare and come to conclusions at a psychological level at all and of what value is it to us? 10. Very few of us observe our own thoughts and feelings 11. As long as we depend on thought as a means of integration there will always be isolation and disintegration 12. The search from one thought to another is not a search 13. Transformation within is only possible when you stop escaping into words 14. Freedom from the self 15. Understanding thought, understanding the self and understanding fear opens the prison doors 16. Does enlightenment come to one suddenly? 17. The quest for enlightenment

Book excerpt: Far more than a mere history of the practice of yoga and beyond a study of psychedelic-substance use to aid the pursuit of enlightenment, Who Am I? is a broad, expansive journey told through the eyes of a scholar and researcher-a pilgrim in search of the meaning of life. While the use of psychedelics, yoga, and the interrelatedness of the two practices have been discussed in the past, Who Am I? explores these topics through both a scientific and a personal approach that is altogether new-the author's own journey as he transitions from spiritual and yoga purist to open-minded examiner in the realization that psychedelics have been employed by yoga practitioners throughout its history. Does their controversial use in modern yoga ease the path to spiritual clarity, or does it hinder it? Many questions and barriers face contemporary seekers of truth in the areas of psychedelics, yoga, and general spirituality. In Who Am I?, author Allowah Lani provides guidance on how to find the personal answers that must come from within.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quest for Eternal Sunshine chronicles the triumphant, true story of Mendek Rubin, a brilliant inventor who overcame both the trauma of the Holocaust and decades of unrelenting depression to live a life of deep peace and boundless joy. Born into a Hassidic Jewish family in Poland in 1924, Mendek grew up surrounded by extreme anti-Semitism. Armed with an ingenious mind, he survived three horrific years in Nazi slave-labor concentration camps while virtually his entire family was murdered in Auschwitz. After arriving in America in 1946—despite having no money or professional skills—his inventions helped revolutionize both the jewelry and packaged-salad industries. Remarkably, Mendek also applied his ingenuity to his own psyche, developing innovative ways to heal his heart and end his emotional suffering. After Mendek died in 2012, his daughter, Myra Goodman, found an unfinished manuscript in which he’d revealed the intimate details of his healing journey. Quest for Eternal Sunshine—the extraordinary result of a posthumous father-daughter collaboration—tells Mendek’s whole story and is filled with eye-opening revelations, effective self-healing techniques, and profound wisdom that have the power to transform the way we live our lives. An inspirational biography of a Holocaust survivor overcoming depression and PTSD. An essential new addition to Jewish Holocaust history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging the triumphalist narrative of Enlightenment secularism. According to most scholars, the Enlightenment was a rational awakening, a radical break from a past dominated by religion and superstition. But in Let There Be Enlightenment, Anton M. Matytsin, Dan Edelstein, and the contributors they have assembled deftly undermine this simplistic narrative. Emphasizing the ways in which religious beliefs and motivations shaped philosophical perspectives, essays in this book highlight figures and topics often overlooked in standard genealogies of the Enlightenment. The volume underscores the prominent role that religious discourses continued to play in major aspects of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century thought. The essays probe a wide range of subjects, from reformer Jan Amos Comenius’s quest for universal enlightenment to the changing meanings of the light metaphor, Quaker influences on Baruch Spinoza’s theology, and the unexpected persistence of Aristotle in the Enlightenment. Exploring the emergence of historical consciousness among Enlightenment thinkers while examining their repeated insistence on living in an enlightened age, the collection also investigates the origins and the long-term dynamics of the relationship between faith and reason. Providing an overview of the rich spectrum of eighteenth-century culture, the authors demonstrate that religion was central to Enlightenment thought. The term “enlightenment” itself had a deeply religious connotation. Rather than revisiting the celebrated breaks between the eighteenth century and the period that preceded it, Let There Be Enlightenment reveals the unacknowledged continuities that connect the Enlightenment to its various antecedents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...there is nothing elementary about O'Grady's primer. She pulls off the feat of writing a reliable and accessible introduction to modern philosophy that is also a meaningful contribution to the subject." - London Times Literary Supplement From Descartes' famous line 'I think therefore I am' to Kant's fascinating discussions of morality, the thinkers of the Enlightenment have helped to shape the modern world. Addressing such important subjects as the foundations of knowledge and the role of ethics, the theories of these philosophers continue to have great relevance to our lives. Ranging across Enlightenment thinking from Berkeley to Rousseau, Enlightenment Philosophy in a Nutshell explains important ideas such as Locke's ideas of primary and secondary qualities, Kant's moral rationalism, and Hume's inductive reasoning. Filled with helpful diagrams and simple summaries of complex theories, this essential introduction brings the great ideas of the past to everyone.

Book excerpt: I learned from my spirit guides the Family of Light, that humanity is in this world but not of it. Speaking to me through a spiritual medium, the Family of Light described a veil of illusion that catches even those of us who know, prompting us to forget that there is a connection between ourselves and the divine and that, as human beings, we have the exalted charge to live in an awareness of that connection. With these words, Paul Gavan begins this account of his spiritual journey and of the communicationsthe teachings, observations, advice, and predictionsthat he has received from his spirit guides and the Family of Light. Working through a spiritual medium, Paul asked questions of these spirits who communicated to him from higher dimensional realms. Their answers, recounted in this book, were not just for Paul but for all of humanity, offering us guidance on how to raise our awareness as we enter a new era of collective enlightenment. Nonfiction.

Book excerpt: An investigative reporter explores an infamous case where an obsessive and unorthodox search for enlightenment went terribly wrong. When thirty-eight-year-old Ian Thorson died from dehydration and dysentery on a remote Arizona mountaintop in 2012, The New York Times reported the story under the headline: "Mysterious Buddhist Retreat in the Desert Ends in a Grisly Death." Scott Carney, a journalist and anthropologist who lived in India for six years, was struck by how Thorson’s death echoed other incidents that reflected the little-talked-about connection between intensive meditation and mental instability. Using these tragedies as a springboard, Carney explores how those who go to extremes to achieve divine revelations—and undertake it in illusory ways—can tangle with madness. He also delves into the unorthodox interpretation of Tibetan Buddhism that attracted Thorson and the bizarre teachings of its chief evangelists: Thorson’s wife, Lama Christie McNally, and her previous husband, Geshe Michael Roach, the supreme spiritual leader of Diamond Mountain University, where Thorson died. Carney unravels how the cultlike practices of McNally and Roach and the questionable circumstances surrounding Thorson’s death illuminate a uniquely American tendency to mix and match eastern religious traditions like LEGO pieces in a quest to reach an enlightened, perfected state, no matter the cost. Aided by Thorson’s private papers, along with cutting-edge neurological research that reveals the profound impact of intensive meditation on the brain and stories of miracles and black magic, sexualized rituals, and tantric rites from former Diamond Mountain acolytes, A Death on Diamond Mountain is a gripping work of investigative journalism that reveals how the path to enlightenment can be riddled with danger.

Book excerpt: Through series of short contemplations and detailed illustrations, this book presents the journey taken through the cycle to life. Each part of the story is revealed as an echo while seeking answers to age-old questions. Why are we here at this time? What is our purpose? How should we be experiencing life? Are we here to do something special? Is there purpose in our life path? Is it preordained, or are we left adrift? Are global problems we are facing a matter for those who care to resolve these, or are we all to participate and contribute? In reading and contemplating these, we gain clarity and an appreciation with understanding of our very personal and individual yet eternal undertaking to eventually become enabled to answer these by ourselves.
