Download or read book Sobre la felicidad y la brevedad de la vida written by Séneca and published by Austral. This book was released on 2022-09-07 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «El tiempo que tenemos no es corto; es que perdemos mucho.» Si Séneca es un clásico es porque fue capaz de acuñar reflexiones que han interpelado a lectores de todas las épocas hasta nuestros días. Orador destacado de la Roma imperial, en estos ensayos nos presenta un pensamiento ecléctico, alejado de los dogmatismos, que va más allá de preceptos de la escuela estoica. Nos insta a pensar por nosotros mismos y a alejarnos siempre que sea necesario de las creencias de la masa para acceder a la felicidad, y nos propone, a la manera del sabio, limpiar nuestro día a día de ocupaciones superfluas como vía para alargar la vida. Recordatorios que parecen escritos expresamente para nuestro presente atareado y lleno de discursos homogéneos. «Busquemos lo que es mejor, no lo que es más común, o frecuente, y lo que nos lleve a la posesión de la eterna felicidad, no a lo que aprueba el vulgo, muy mal intérprete de la verdad. Y por vulgo entiendo tanto a los que visten clámide como a los que llevan corona.» Este volumen incluye los tratados De la felicidad, De la vida retirada o el ocio, De la serenidad del alma y De la brevedad de la vida.

En este libro, el filósofo Lucio Anneo Séneca nos ofrece una visión bastante interesante en cuanto a este asunto y su respuesta es propia de un estoico de su tiempo.

Download or read book The Forbidden Religion written by Jose M. Herrou Aragon and published by José M. Herrou Aragón. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gnosis means knowledge. But we are not referring to just any knowledge. Gnosis is knowledge which produces a great transformation in those who receive it. Knowledge capable of nothing less than waking up man and helping him to escape from the prison in which he finds himself. That is why Gnosis has been so persecuted throughout the course of history, because it is knowledge considered dangerous for the religious and political authorities who govern mankind from the shadows. Every time this religion, absolutely different from the rest, appears before man, the other religions unite to try to destroy or hide it again. Primordial Gnosis is the original Gnosis, true Gnosis, eternal Gnosis, Gnostic knowledge in its pure form. Due to multiple persecutions, Primordial Gnosis has been fragmented, distorted and hidden.
Download or read book Biography of Silence written by Pablo d'Ors and published by Parallax Press. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A publishing phenomenon in Spain: a moving, lyrical, far-ranging meditation on the deep joys of confronting oneself through silence by a Spanish priest and Zen disciple. With silence increasingly becoming a stranger to us, one man set out to become its intimate: Pablo d'Ors, a Catholic priest whose life was changed by Zen meditation. With disarming honesty and directness, as well as a striking clarity of language, d'Ors shares his struggles as a beginning meditator: the tedium, restlessness, and distraction. But, persevering, the author discovers not only a deep peace and understanding of his true nature, but also that silence, rather than being a retreat from life, offers us an intense engagement with life just as it is. Imbued with a rare beauty, Biography of Silence shows us the deep joy of silence that is available to us all.
Download or read book The Rebel written by Leonor Villegas de Magn—n and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 1994-09-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rebel is the memoir of a revolutionary woman, Leonor Villegas de Magnon (1876-1955), who was a fiery critic of dictator Porfirio Diaz and a conspirator and participant in the Mexican Revolution. Villegas de Magnon rebelled against the ideals of her aristocratic class and against the traditional role of women in her society. In 1910 Villegas moved from Mexico to Laredo, Texas, where she continued supporting the revolution as a member of the Junta Revolucionaria (Revolutionary Council) and as a fiery editorialist in Laredo newspapers. In 1913, she founded La Cruz Blanca (The White Cross) to serve as a corps of nurses for the revolutionary forces active from the border region to Mexico City. Many women like Villegas de Magnon from both sides of the border risked their lives and left their families to support the revolution. Years later, however, when their participation had still been unacknowledged and was running the risk of being forgotten, Villegas de Magnon decided to write her personal account of this history. The Rebel covers the period from 1876 through 1920, documenting the heroic actions of the women. Written in the third person with a romantic fervor, the narrative interweaves autobiography with the story of La Cruz Blanca. Until now Villegas de Magnon's written contributions have remained virtually unrecognized - peripheral to both Mexico and the United States, fragmented by a border. Not only does her work attest to the vitality, strength and involvement of women in sociopolitical concerns, but it also stands as one of the very few written documents that consciously challenges stereotyped misconceptions of Mexican Americans held by both Mexicans and Anglo-Americans.

Download or read book Reaching Utopia written by Joanne Morgey and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to find Utopia; that imaginary place of perfect peace and understanding? Every once in a while, amidst the turmoil of life, a glimpse of this perfection will come, perhaps in seeing a sunrise or a sunset, or hearing a babbling brook, or looking into the wonder filled eyes of a child. Always, it can be found, when sought. As a child, I felt that I was different from others, as if everyone else had a secret that I was not in on. I began to be a seeker at a very young age. I married my high school sweetheart, and recall the blessing being bestowed upon us during our wedding, "that we may find the peace that passes all understanding." At that same time, in the background, the song "Oh Perfect Love" was being sung. I admit to being somewhat idealistic, but oh, how I yearned for just a glance at that kind of peace and love. In no way did it come in the way that I ever would have imagined. Just 14 years, and four children after the marriage, my husband died suddenly of a heart attack, leaving me devastated with feelings of total inadequacy to run a family business left in my keeping, and raise four young children. Along with all the responsibility that came with these roles, I came to the realization that often times I would need to create a reality with the tools that I was able to gather along the way, constantly finding them in need of repair or replenishing. It was during this time that I began to see writing as one of those tools and sought peace through poems I would write. Whenever I would reach a milestone in life, or be richly inspired by a happening, or experience the death of a loved one, I would write a poem and find a resolve as a way of ending the poem; always seeking a positive place to leave my feelings. "Reaching Utopia" is a poetry book about some of the joys and sorrows I have known along the way. Because I have always been a seeker of that perfect peace, I am happy for the joys of the journey, and grateful for the sorrows. And as I have become a believer, I hope, you may also come to believe that Utopia, although an ideal created from imagination, can be a place within your reach.
