Download or read book The Enlightenment Quest and the Art of Happiness written by John Maxwell Taylor and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning actor and playwright John Maxwell Taylor builds on the success of his previous book, The Power of I Am, in this eloquent call to awaken from our collective trance and to claim the transformative power and happiness that is our birthright. Drawing on his forty years’ experience in spiritual self-transformation, Taylor offers a potent array of practical tools, stories, and life lessons that help us reorder the events in our lives, the way people respond to us, and the impact we have on the world. The Enlightenment Quest and the Art of Happiness shows us how to master ourselves so that we can harness the energy of higher power to surmount the chaos of the modern world and provides strategies for “sociological aikido” that allow us to deal effectively with negative people, narcissists, and egotists. Informed by Taylor’s incredibly varied background—from European pop star, to student of Paramahansa Yogananda, Gurdjieff, and Mantak Chia, to resident at the pioneering Findhorn Community, to playing Carl Jung on stage for many years—this book demonstrates how, by understanding the powers active in creation, we can become instruments through which higher power continually flows to advance our evolution toward consciousness. In doing so, we not only transform ourselves, we become powerful agents for changing the world. Readers learn how to: • Deal with negative people and egotists • Use higher power to redirect the world around one to one's own advantage • Stay sane in an insane world by understanding true spiritual psychology • See the world as it is instead of spiritually daydreaming that "things are going to get better" • Move beyond conspiracy theories and conspire instead to create a united world of consciousness • Gain fresh insights into the work of Campbell, Jung, Paramahansa Yogananda, Gurdjieff, and others • Apply the Findhorn principles of miraculous manifestation as practiced by the author since 1973

Download or read book Cotton Mather Jonathan Edwards and the Quest for Evangelical Enlightenment written by Ryan P. Hoselton and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the early evangelical quest for enlightenment by the Spirit and the Word. While the pursuit originated in the Protestant Reformation, it assumed new forms in the long eighteenth-century context of the early Enlightenment and transatlantic awakened Protestant reform. This work illuminates these transformations by focusing on the dynamic intersection of experimental philosophy and experimental religion in the biblical practices of early America’s most influential Protestant theologians, Cotton Mather (1663-1728) and Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758). As the first book-length project to treat Mather and Edwards together, this study makes an important contribution to the extensive scholarship on these figures, opening new perspectives on the continuities and complexities of colonial New England religion. It also provides new insights and interpretive interventions concerning the history of the Bible, early modern intellectual history, and evangelicalism’s complex relationship to the Enlightenment.

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.

Download or read book Siddhartha written by Hermann Hesse and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-05-18 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Siddhartha', Hermann Hesse presents a poignant journey of self-discovery set against the backdrop of ancient India. It is a novel that transcends the boundaries of time and culture with its universal themes of searching for meaning and the nature of enlightenment. Written in a simple yet deeply lyrical style, Hesse enables the reader to accompany the protagonist on his odyssey from the confines of rigid spirituality to the embrace of life's temporal experiences and, finally, to the serene acceptance of impermanence and the wisdom of renunciation. The novel, placed within the flourishing tradition of German lyrical literature, is a bildungsroman of the spirit, underpinning its narrative with the quest for a harmonious existence and true inner peace.nHermann Hesse, born in the Black Forest, was heavily influenced by his parents' missionary background and his own struggles with institutional religion and personal identity. These core conflicts are adeptly explored in 'Siddhartha', mirroring aspects of Hesse's own journey through spiritual anguish and self-exploration. His profound contributions to literature, such as 'Siddhartha', were recognized in the conferral of the Nobel Prize in Literature, acknowledging his articulate voice on the journey towards self-realization and the complexities of the human psyche.nThis seminal work is recommended for anyone on their own path of self-discovery or those interested in the intersection of spirituality and literature. 'Siddhartha' holds particular resonance for readers who appreciate a narrative that is both an intimate character study and a meditation on the philosophical preoccupations of a generation. Hesse's masterful storytelling and philosophical depth make this novel a timeless treasure and a cornerstone of 20th-century literature.

Download or read book Quest for Eternal Sunshine written by Mendek Rubin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 279 pages. 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.
