Download or read book Dialogues with a Master written by Wayne Austin and published by . This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following dialogues took place between a Master and the author over a period of three years. Prior to meeting the Master, the student had delved deeply into a number of spiritual disciplines both traditional and non-traditional.After years of exhausting searches for answers to questions on suffering, God, life, how to live, and every other subject humans are prone to ask, the author found himself one evening watching the news. The commentator was speaking about a particularly violent event that had happened at a school in one of the southern states. While watching the bloody events unfold, the author found tears streaming down his face and a rage rising in his chest. He arose from his chair and staggered over to his bed where he fell to his knees and for the first time that he could remember he prayed. He said:"Please Father, I am lost. I do not know the way home. Help me find the truth."A few days later he was reading a magazine on yoga when he happened upon an article about a spiritual teacher. The article struck a response within him and he put the magazine aside planning to find out more about this teacher.One year later, long after he had forgotten the article, the Master appeared. The dialogues began . . . The Master as it turned out had known the author since he was a little boy. He had a slight German accent and called the author, "Vayne," or "Vayney," meaning "Wayne," or "Wayney." Often the dialogues ended abruptly especially when the student was beginning to babble or get lost in his own mind. At times the Master's answers were so simple that the student's complex mind became hopelessly confused and he began to babble.Some time ago, a friend volunteered to make the dialogues more "readable" in terms of flow. After much rewording it was discovered that the dialogues as they were originally transmitted had a "spirit" that transcended any grammatical inconsistencies and when they were re-worded, that spirit was lost. For that reason the dialogues appear as they were originally Heard.In the end, Truth is Realized. ~Wayne Austin

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE NAUTILUS BOOK AWARD Blending psychological insights with spiritual wisdom, this “brilliant and visionary” guide deconstructs the myth of the ‘selfish’ ego to provide a blueprint for fostering peace (Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance) Why have we failed to create the happy, peaceful world that we all want? And what can we do about it? For more than three decades, Jalaja Bonheim has explored these questions in her work with women leaders, activists, and spiritual seekers from around the world. In The Sacred Ego, she tackles one of the core myths of popular spiritual culture—the myth of the ego, supposedly responsible for our greed, selfishness, and violence. In contrast, Bonheim approaches the ego as a sacred function worthy of honor and gratitude. With riveting stories from her work, she guides us into the depths of our collective psyche to pinpoint the real sources of our problems and illuminate our path to wholeness. Firmly grounded in a lifetime of practical experience, The Sacred Ego is a visionary, uplifting book that explains why our world is in crisis and how we can support the unprecedented transformational process that’s underway.

You no longer need to be in a quiet place to have inner quiet.

Download or read book Spiritual Transmission written by Amir Freimann and published by Monkfish Book Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term “spiritual transmission” refers to the passing of the state of enlightenment from teacher to student, which takes place in many spiritual traditions. In itself, the transmission is synonymous with the experience of enlightenment. But the fact that the student’s experience is rooted in a relationship with a human teacher who is perceived to possess absolute knowledge lends the experience much of its intrinsic, yet hidden, nature. Following the breakup of his 21-year relationship with his own spiritual teacher, Amir Freimann launched a quest to discover the deeper realities of the student teacher relationship, logging over 1,000 hours of interviews with students and teachers. These interviews reveal the promises and perils of the guru-to-student relationship and explore hot-button topics such as the differences and similarities between therapists and gurus; the role of trust vs. rationality in the spiritual quest; and how money, power and sex are dealt with during the course of a student’s training. Spiritual Transmission includes never-before-published dialogues with many prominent spiritual teachers, plus a revelatory afterword by renowned integral theorist Ken Wilber. If you have ever been involved with a spiritual teacher or know someone who has, you need this book. Interviewees in Spiritual Transmission include Peter (Hakim) Young, Andrew Cohen, Stephen Fulder, Christopher Titmuss, James Finley, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri, Saniel Bonder, Mariana Caplan, Mooji, Lakshmi, Barry Magid, Claire Slemmer, James Swartz, Diane Hamilton, Bill Epperly, Aliya Haeri, Thomas Steininger, Peter Bampton, Carolyn Lee, Terry Patten, Steve Brett and Mary Adams.
