Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Beauty to Compassion, from Pleasure to Terror, from Resignation to Joy -- here is an insightful exploration of the rich diversity of human qualities. J. Ruth Gendler's evocative book has as its cast of familiar characters our own emotions, brought to life with a poet's wisdom and an artist's perceptive eye. In The Book of Qualities' magical community, Excitement wears orange socks, Faith lives in the same apartment building as Doubt, and Worry makes lists of everything that could go wrong while she is waiting for the train. In portraying the complexities of the psyche, Gendler uses the Qualities to bridge the distinctions between literature and psychology, and has created an original work that challenges us to look at our emotions in new and inspiring ways.

Download or read book The Art of Being Free written by James Poulos and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Most folks probably don't learn about Alexis de Tocqueville in school anymore, but his seminal work, Democracy in America, is still surprisingly resonant. When he came to America in 1831 to study our great political experiment, he reported that the main issues were: religion, money, sex, death, love, gender inequality, work and politics. Clearly, we haven't come as far as one might hope. But it wasn't all doom and gloom. De Tocqueville not only cataloged our problems; he also provided a manual on how to solve them. In The Art of Being Free, journalist and scholar James Poulos parses de Tocqueville's advice for a modern audience, showing us how to live a sane, healthy, and happy life, regardless of the hectic world around us. Poulos dives into the original, beloved text to see what Tocqueville would say about our relationship to technology; our methods for coping with stress; our obsession with appearances; our workaholism; and our physical indolence. He explores how our uniquely American malaise might be alleviated, not by the next wellness or self-help craze, but by the kind of inner inventory-taking that has fallen out of fashion. Like Sarah Bakewell's How to Live or Alain de Botton's How Proust Can Change Your Life, The Art of Being Free offers a vital new twist on a collection of timeless wisdom--for Americans of all ages."--

Download or read book Living Intelligence or the Art of Becoming written by Rimaletta Ray Ph.D. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-03-06 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living Intelligence or the Art of Becoming By Dr. Rimaletta Ray and Xenia Gazarkh The highest system of learning is how we live our lives, and the hardest Job in the world is to create oneself!(Dalai Lama) The work on self-formation is the art of making each life have more sense in terms of intellectual self-realization that each and every one of us is striving hard to accomplish. Revolutionizing our knowledge in the coming more electronically-charged years is the first stage of the process of rationalization of our lives. There is only one good - knowledge and one evil ignorance (Socrates) The book Living Intelligence or the Art of Becoming is an attempt to pinpoint the Modus Operandi of a personal evolution through expanding ones intelligence and raising the consciousness. Unfortunately, it is downright impossible unless we uplift ourselves in all the five main dimensions of life: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and universal holistically by practicing what we preach, by developing intuition that is our adult barometer, and by turning our bad life habits into transformative Living Intelligence skills. At the new electronically-advanced times holistic, integral, and conscious self-development becomes a priority At the time of rapid evolution of Electronic Intelligence, we need people that are well-rounded holistically, on all the above mentioned levels. And if our education system does not provide that, the mission of every intelligent person is to obtain the education that makes ones unique personality shine against all odds. We need to help it happen so any one could become his own cheer-leader in life, cut his mechanical living, and start living consciously The book is an attempt to present a simple blueprint of self-development and self-realization as our main mission in life. Thesis 9)If you are not headed to a destination with a map to guide you, then your intelligence and ambition are going to waste. (Dr. Phil) We are mapping out the ten stages of Living Intelligence ( Introduction, Thesis 9) that, in our understanding, are to be followed as our intellectual quest on the basis of the specifically developed talents and the intelligence that we might be granted by God. It is a holistic picture of the most critical intelligences that comprise living intelligence and sculpture a person on his way to attaining spiritualized intelligence (John Baines) and Living Consciousness. It is a new, much more reasoned out self-awareness, guided by rational thinking, speaking and acting that a human mind needs to master on five philosophical levels: Mini, Mata. Mezzo. Macro, and Super, and in five main dimensions: physical, emotional, mental spiritual, and universal. We are developing the super conscious mind on these levels holistically. This being said, self- modification and self-regulation need to be consciously practiced in the following direction: Unconscious Conscious Superconscious Mini Level - (Physical dimension) - General Intelligence (Physical Intelligence +, Cognitive Intelligence + Digital Intelligence) + Language Intelligence - We personalize ourselves mentally, verbally, and psychologically. Meta Level (Emotional dimension) - Emotional Intelligence + Psychological Intelligence - We intellectualize our emotions and become better masters of ourselves psychologically Mezzo Level (Mental dimension) - Professional Intelligence (Creative Intelligence +, Financial Intelligence) - We individualize and self-realize ourselves professionally! Macro -Level (Mental Dimension)- Cultural and Social Intelligences We acculturate and socialize yourself! Super Level (Spiritual and Universal Dimensions), Spiritual and Universal Intelligences We spiritualize ourselves by transcending our religious differences, committing to the Universal Intelligence that we all call God holistically, servicing God and life at large on the interpersonal level and extra-terrestrial levels. Each of the intelligences, outlined above, makes up a strategic plan of action for self- creation. They are all interrelated by the principle of the Russian dolls, when the top doll encompasses all the rest into one dependable structure.( Introduction, Thesis 9) The outline of the direction for the self-quest that we present in this book as the know-how of a self-training program had been verified by the author for the life time of academic teaching young people from all over the world.. They have all learned to defy the gravity of common thought and fly in their mind, no matter what! Finally, the book is also promoting self- suggestive psychology based on the premises that if you want to be inspired, you need to be self-inspiring! We believe that besides obtaining a more rationalized attitude to life, the mind of each person on earth needs to be inspired and enthused for such a holistic mission statement willfully. Inspiring oneself is the process of forcing ones resisting mental, emotional, and psychological make-ups to do the self-transformation of the whole body system. The book is disarmingly simple to grasp for everyone, an adult or a teenager, just stepping on the path of self-formation. Simplicity, as the primary component of the book, prompted that its extremely broad topic be presented in small, very digestible Chunks of information that can always be enriched through numerous sources on the Internet With a clear-cut idea about what they are seeking and where they are channeling themselves with the book as a compass in self-quest and self-realization, readers can get oriented in the intelligence that they need to develop. It will also inspire them to stay on the path of self- creation with the help of suggestive inspirational boosters that preview every stage of intelligence , on the one hand , and a wide choice of auto-suggestive mind-sets that rhyme to boost the will-power, on the other.. In sum, the aim of the book Living Intelligence or the Art of Becoming is to expand on the circumference of being to becoming, systematizing the living skills, or rather the mix of living skills to attain basic intelligences for self-regeneration and self-creation to a better full- realization in life. Its the first book on the market of this overwhelmingly holistic value, and it has undoubtedly a great potential to be read and studied by everyone who feels a void inside for self- realization to finally accomplish the excessive happiness that everyone is striving for. Living intelligence becomes consciousness in action, the consciousness that cultivates a new culture of thinking and living. We must make sense with our lives, each and every one of us!(Leo Vygotsky) Someday is Now!

Download or read book Working with Oneness written by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee and published by The Golden Sufi Center. This book was released on 2002-05-02 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity has been given access to the secrets of oneness, but we need to learn how to work with them. Working with Oneness brings mysticism into the center of the marketplace, into the world of business and technology, and shows how we can work with it in everyday life. The dynamic energy of oneness has the potential to heal the planet and revolutionize life more than we can imagine, but it requires our individual participation and awareness to become fully alive. The energy of oneness is already present but waiting to be lived, and Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee provides a blueprint for working consciously with this energy. As we understand how our consciousness affects the whole fabric of life, the potential for real global change comes alive. Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee stresses the need to change from hierarchical, patriarchal power structures to organic patterns that allow for the free flow of energy and ideas. Through these patterns the dynamic energy of oneness can become part of everyday life. Working with Oneness includes a number of additional important topics, including: the changing energy structure of the planet and how to work with it; the power of individual consciousness; the danger of the desire for spiritual security; the return of joy to everyday life; the awakening of the heart of the world; a new understanding of magic; the use of the imagination; and mystical participation in life with the energy of oneness. Working with Oneness offers guidance on how to work with the energy of oneness, to learn how to participate in life free of the patterns of the past, so that the divine can come alive in every moment of every day. Working with Oneness is mystical activism at its most potent. “There is a growing and eager audience waiting for a vision of unity consciousness... Working with Oneness offers a salutary antidote to worn-out antagonisms. It challenges readers to join other kindred souls in a mystical activism that can bring new hope to humanity.” —Spirituality & Health “A book filled with wonder and the kind of insights that can leap out to your heart and gladden you for having read them. It's words are simple and straightforward—always a blessing—but its message it the most vital and important for the time in which we live. I recommend it.” —David Spangler, author, Blessings: the Art and the Practice

Download or read book Soul Friends written by Stephen Cope and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Most of us will have many friends throughout our lifetimes—friends of all shapes, sizes, and callings. Many of these are wonderful, meaningful friendships. Some are difficult. But some magic few of these are connections that have gone right to our soul. These five or seven or ten friendships have been powerful keys to determining who we have become and who we will become. . . . These are the people I call Soul Friends." As the Senior Scholar-in-Residence for over 25 years at the renowned Kripalu Center, Stephen Cope has spent decades investigating—and writing about—the integration of body, mind, and spirit and the rich complexity of our relationships with others, and with ourselves. Perhaps the central truth that arises from his work is this: human beings are universally wired for one thing—vital connection with one another.Soul Friends invites us on a compelling journey into the connectivity of the human psyche, the study of which has fascinated scholars, philosophers, and thinkers for centuries. Cope seamlessly blends science, scholarship, and storytelling, drawing on his own life as well as the histories of famous figures—from Eleanor Roosevelt to Charles Darwin to Queen Victoria—whose formative relationships shed light on the nature of friendship itself. In his exploration, he distills human connection into six distinct yet interconnected mechanisms: containment, twinship, adversity, mirroring, identification, and conscious partnership. Then he invites us to reflect on how these forms of connection appear in our own lives, helping us work toward a fuller understanding of "who we have become and who we will become."Without a doubt, the journey to our most fulfilled selves requires us to look within. But in order to truly thrive, we must make the most of who we are in relation to one another as well. Unsparingly honest, deeply wise, and irresistibly readable, Soul Friends gives us a map to find our way.

Download or read book A Modern Art of Education written by Rudolf Steiner and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2001-03-15 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fine introduction to Waldorf education, written out of a series of lectures given in 1924, Steiner provides one of the most comprehensive introductions to his pedagogical philosophy, psychology, and practice. Steiner begins by describing the union of science, art, religion and morality, which was the aim of all his work and underlies his concept of education. Against this background, many of the lectures describe a new developmental psychology. On this basis, having established how children's consciousness develops, Steiner discusses how different subjects should be presented so that individuals can grow and flourish inwardly. Only if the child absorbs the right subject in the right way at the right time can the inner freedom so necessary for life in the modern world become second nature.

Download or read book Mysteries of the East and of Christianity written by Rudolf Steiner and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 1989-02-15 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steiner gives a sketch of the evolution of the Mysteries from ancient Persia, through Egypt and Greece, to the Christian era and the present day with the modern initiation of the Holy Grail. LECTURE SYNOPSES: Lecture 1 -- February 3, 191, Everything belonging to the mysteries is based on the experiences of initiates in the higher worlds. The principles of initiation change in the successive epochs. Attainment of initiation today is possible without personal guidance, but one's experiences must be carried through correctly. Sensory impressions become a means of experiencing what lies behind them. "Opinions" and "views" must be transcended. Some experiences are common to all mysteries, whether of the East or the West. Contact with death, passage through the elemental world, seeing the Sun at midnight, meeting with the higher and lower gods. The path into higher worlds is connected with strengthening of the soul's inner forces.; Lecture 2 -- February 4, 1913, Natural and moral laws mingle in the spiritual world. Morally irresponsible souls must serve terrible beings after death. Untimely, deaths, epidemics, and illnesses are caused by spiritual forces and beings. After death, souls subject to laziness become the servants of the adversarial gods led by Ahriman. Certain characteristics are suitable or unsuitable for the development of clairvoyance. A seer has direct perception of the interaction of influences from the Earth and those from cosmic space. Experience at a definite stage of the mysteries is that in respect of the higher members of his being (astral body and "I") man belongs not only to the Earth but is also at home in the cosmos.; Lecture 3 -- February 5, 1913, Ascent into the spiritual worlds is accompanied through certain necessary experiences. Possibility of a retrospect into the far past and reading the akashic record. In the higher worlds, a clairvoyant can discern the activities of beings associated with the Sun and the Moon in engendering human physical and etheric bodies. How the astral body and "I" are brought into being is veiled in secrecy. Steiner discusses the Zarathustra initiation, the Hermetic initiation, and two phases of the Isis initiation, separated by the time of Moses. When Moses led his people out of Egypt he took with him the part of the Egyptian initiation that added the Osiris initiation to that of the mourning Isis. Steiner discusses the "Sons of the Widow". In the later Egyptian initiation the candidate experienced the dying of a god in the heavens in order to descend into another world.; Lecture 4 -- February 7, 1913, The being formerly known spiritually as the "Creative Word" first manifested physically when Moses heard the "Ejeh asher Ejeh." Candidates in the later Egyptian mysteries felt that the Creative Word was disappearing. When it reappeared, belonging now to earthly evolution, it became known as the Holy Grail. Every epoch repeats the earlier experiences of humanity. Secrets of the Egyptian-Chaldean epoch were related to the influx forces of the zodiac and planets, especially those of the Sun and Moon. In the fifth epoch, those secrets must work right into the consciousness soul, or human personality. Inspirations from the twelve directions of the zodiac flowed into the twelve knights of King Arthur's round table. All that is dead and withdrawn from the sovereignty of the soul must be enlivened again through the new wisdom of the Grail. Teaching is now no longer connected with particular localities. Dual nature in Goethe and in many men of the modern age is still under the influence of the intellectual soul. Parsifal: the ideal of later initiation. Modern mysteries are an aftereffect of the Grail mystery. The Amfortas nature in human beings must be recognized before the forces of Parsifal can be developed in human nature.

Book excerpt: **Winner of Reader's Favorite Book Award** **Winner of Book Excellence Award** **Winner of the Body Mind Spirit Book Award** For seekers of truth, Al Zaabi is a wise and intrepid guide through the wilderness of the self. In plainspoken and heartfelt language, she shine light on the spiritual path and reveals the beauty and necessity of surrender, which has for too long been misunderstanding in the west. -Krista Bremer, author of A Tender Struggle Do you ever wish you could switch off the chatter in your mind? This is what brings many of us to self-help, the fears and worries that go along with being human. It is the reason many of us investigate spirituality: emotions and the thoughts beneath them. Indeed, many approaches to religion and spirituality will tell you that the mind causes your suffering and teach you to quiet your inner voice. The Art of Surrender stands out among self-help books because it offers a completely new approach to spirituality, health, and healing. You do not have to silence your thoughts. Your brain and mind are a gift; they have a spiritual purpose, which is to seek the truth and establish genuine spirituality. Drawing on her Muslim heritage and her wise and careful exploration of spirituality without religion yet informed by it, Eiman Al Zaabi guides you in the delightful art of spiritual inquiry, investigating ideas for yourself and incorporating only those truths that resonate deeply. Whether you are taking the first steps on your spiritual journey or have long traveled such a path, The Art of Surrender will transform your relationship with yourself, the Divine, and the world around you. You’ll learn the deepest needs of your soul and discover how to meet them. You’ll be guided through the four stages of the spiritual journey: finding Source, knowing Source, aligning with Source, and surrendering to Source. With this approach to self-help, anxiety melts away as you develop a spirituality of gratitude and trust. When you read this book, you’ll discover the ultimate state of fulfillment and joy: surrender.

Download or read book Spheres of Awareness written by James Lough and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2009-09-29 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spheres of Awareness: Wilberian Integral Approaches to Literature, Philosophy, Psychology, and Art moves toward building a new and more comprehensive theory of literature, philosophy, psychology, and art. The extremely popular work of Ken Wilber unites the best of both western and eastern thought and affirms that the stages of consciousness, more refined than that of the reasoning mind, do exist. These stages culminate in awareness of Spirit, or what Buddhism has called Emptiness. Spheres of Awareness shows us how applying Wilber's theoretical templates can broaden and deepen our approaches to literature, philosophy, psychology, and art.
