Golas leads the reader down the path toward enlightenment with simple steps, like memorizing key phrases and incorporating them into daily life and thought. Think of how much better your life might be if you reminded yourself to "love as much as you can from wherever you are" or "love it the way it is." This classic book is full of useful tips on how to live a more conscious life and to be an engaged and aware member of the universal community. "While we have humility and pride enough to act on the knowledge that we exist in an infinite harmony, that we are neither greater nor lesser than any others, we can enjoy exquisite spiritual wealth and pleasures. When you love yourself, you are in truth expanding in love into many other things. And the more loving you are, the more loving the beings within and around you. On all levels we are mutually dependent vibrations. Play a happy tune and happy dancers will join your trip." - From The Lazy Man's Guide to EnlightenmentAfter serving in World War II, author Thaddeus Golas graduated from Columbia College in New York. He later moved to San Francisco, where he became involved in the activism and spiritual quests of the 1960s.

Download or read book Hollywood Highbrow written by Shyon Baumann and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's moviegoers and critics generally consider some Hollywood products--even some blockbusters--to be legitimate works of art. But during the first half century of motion pictures very few Americans would have thought to call an American movie "art." Up through the 1950s, American movies were regarded as a form of popular, even lower-class, entertainment. By the 1960s and 1970s, however, viewers were regularly judging Hollywood films by artistic criteria previously applied only to high art forms. In Hollywood Highbrow, Shyon Baumann for the first time tells how social and cultural forces radically changed the public's perceptions of American movies just as those forces were radically changing the movies themselves. The development in the United States of an appreciation of film as an art was, Baumann shows, the product of large changes in Hollywood and American society as a whole. With the postwar rise of television, American movie audiences shrank dramatically and Hollywood responded by appealing to richer and more educated viewers. Around the same time, European ideas about the director as artist, an easing of censorship, and the development of art-house cinemas, film festivals, and the academic field of film studies encouraged the idea that some American movies--and not just European ones--deserved to be considered art.

Download or read book The Lazy Man s Way to Enlightenment written by David A. Bhodan and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-28 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are you? Who are you Really? Are you the ego-personality with a history, the one who was born, given a name and birth date, taught right from wrong and good from bad? Are you the body you move around in, you know, that thing that will surely die, because it was born? Are you the mind, with all its content, perhaps avoiding or chasing after something? Are you really a separate person amongst many other separate people, living in this world for a period of time - or have you just assumed that? "The Lazy Man's Way to Enlightenment - What You're Looking For is What is Looking," is about going beyond what we've been told we are, beyond religion and philosophy, in order to discover who we really are, not who we think or assume we are. It's about stripping away all that is false, until only what is true remains.

Picnic, Lightning—one of the books that helped establish and secure his reputation and popularity during the 1990s—combines humor and seriousness, wit and sublimity.

Whether reading him for the first time or the fiftieth, this collector's edition is a must-have for anyone interested in the poet the New York Times calls simply "the real thing."

Download or read book Rumi Bridge to the Soul written by Coleman Barks and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally released in 2007, "Year of Rumi," to coincide with the poet's 800th birthday, by the pre-eminent Rumi poet Coleman Barks. In Rumi: Bridge to the Soul, Coleman Barks—who holds an honorary doctorate in Persian language and literature by the University of Tehran for his decades-long translations of Rumi—has collected and translated ninety new poems, most of them never published before in any form. The "bridge" in the title is a reference to the Khajou Bridge in Isphahan, Iran, which Barks visited with Robert Bly in May of 2006—a trip that in many ways prompted this book. The "soul bridge" also suggests Rumi himself, who crosses cultures and religions and brings us all together to listen to his words, regardless of origin or creed. Open this book and let Rumi's poetry carry you into the interior silence and joy of the spirit, the place that unites conscious knowing with a deeper, more soulful understanding.

Book excerpt: An Invitation From Gay HendricksI am thrilled and delighted to offer to you the new edition of Learning To Love Yourself. Revisiting and rewriting the book has been a pleasure from beginning to end. With its new elements, the book comes alive in a whole new way.Looking back over more than three decades to the moment of its conception, I can now see how writing this book changed my life in every way.I first wrote it as an act of love, to share an experience that feels as if it's still transforming me in my very cells. It was my hope that telling about the experience could inspire the same profound life-changes in others. The many thousands of letters, emails and spoken appreciations I've received since then let me know that my hope came true.The experience described in the book revealed the living mystery of love to me, allowing me to feel its sweet power for the first time. Because I suddenly knew what real love felt like, I was able to break free of my pattern of painful relationships with women. Ultimately it helped me find my way to Kathlyn, the love of my life and my wife for the past quarter-century.The new edition is ideal for giving to loved ones (including yourself!) who are on the journey to forgiving, accepting and loving themselves. It tells you how I came to an acceptance and unconditional love of even the most difficult-to-love parts of myself.My fondest wish is that you use it for exactly the same purpose, with exactly the same result.
Download or read book Lazy Man s Life Autobiography of Thaddeus Golas the written by Thaddeus Golas and published by . This book was released on 2010-11-21 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life of Thaddeus Golas, Author of "The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment."Thaddeus Golas' autobiography is a slice of history...The Lazy Man's Life is a first person account from a witness of the Psychedelic 60s... It is the true tale of a bright young man who followed the star of wisdom, and turned his back on the American Dream, cheerfully plunging into chaos, long before dropping-out became fashionable.Thaddeus Golas was known for writing only one book, The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment, a small, popular spiritual guide favored by the LSD counterculture.Penned in San Francisco, at the tipping point of the hippie revolution of the 1960s, the book caused quite a sensation and penetrated the respectable 'self-help' literature circles. Yet, Thaddeus Golas lived his life in relative oblivion.When he passed away in the spring of 1997 he left behind a treasure trove of unfinished writings and barely completed manuscripts.The Lazy Man's Life is the story of a life well lived, but also a fascinating historical document which takes us all the way from the Great Depression, through Albert Einstein's Atomic revolution, into the rise and fall of the psychedelic movement. This is a delightfully iconoclastic spiritual journey through a fascinating time.

Download or read book Bhakti Yoga written by Swami Vivekananda and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-10-01 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bhakti-Yoga is a real, honest search for the Lord that begins, continues, and ends with love. We are free forever because of one crazy moment of crazy love for God. This love can't be reduced to anything on earth, because this love won't come as long as people want things on earth. Bhakti is better than both karma and yoga because karma and yoga are supposed to get you somewhere, but Bhakti is its own goal, its own means, and its own end. Swami Vivekananda talked about Bhakti-Yoga like a spiritual poet, describing it as a symphony of the soul and a dance of devotion in which the seeker gives in to their overwhelming love for the Divine. He stressed that this path was not limited to any one religion. Instead, it was a universal language of the heart that gave people a direct link to the divine part of themselves and the world around them.
