This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about the long forgotten wisdom of the ancient Mayans and our planetary ancestors. Their extraordinary knowledge remains a great mystery for people today and their abilities and powers are still an enigma. This is why the book attempts to reveal different perspectives on the Mayan spiritual heritage and on the use of sound. As a musician, spiritual teacher, scientist, and medium for inaudible cosmic (sound) waves, Mirit seeks to remove the veil from the Mayan life philosophy and the seemingly incomprehensible principles of their culture, through the frame of sound, timeless spiritual laws, and boundless consciousness. The author puts Mayan culture onto entirely different foundations. In her own way, and from the heights of consciousness, she draws closer to the essence and principle of Mayan sonic and priestly practice, with which thousands of years ago the wise Mayans had been creating their reality, harmonising life on Earth, healing, and performing music.The essence of Mayan wisdom is also a valuable signpost for humanity as a whole. Their cosmic or galactic consciousness has become once again interesting and attractive in the spiritual emptiness of the modern world and its commoditisation of the truth. Fortunately, spiritual truths are universal. The sacred teachings, imbued with the eternal Truth, are timeless. They are a reflection and echo of the profound life experience of countless generations. Wisdom keepers - priests, healers, spiritual teachers, prophets, artists, and musicians - knew how to use the powers of cosmic rhythms and the breathing of the Universe within the rhythms of life for their own benefit and for the benefit of others. For them, sound was essential. It was regarded as the most important surgical tool of ancient travellers across the dimensions of time, space, timelessness, and eternity.Given its comprehensiveness, this book about the material and spiritual culture of the Mayans is published in two parts, although its content represents one indivisible whole and the chapters complement each other. The second part explains: the magic of sound, priests' and astronomical music schools, the ritual initiatory journey of the Ancient Ones into the multidimensional (or nine-dimensional, as the folk tradition would put it) cosmic consciousness - to the Source of Creation, to the cosmic-spiritual-physical Triunity. The book also reveals the role of sound and silence (Hunahpu), the teachings of Native American warriors, the power of crystal skulls, the methods of aligning ourselves with all levels of our consciousness and existence, the clairsentient path to the Silent knowledge of the Universe. The writer additionally reveals all of this through sound octaves or singing links - through the codes of immortality, which begin to resonate when the mind goes silent. Sound is an effective tool for the magic of love in the initiations of life and death, during which humans seek their essence and centredness, their connection to the Intelligence of life. This is how they bring to life not only the dormant abilities of galactic meta-humans but also the dignity of all-connectedness. However, the process of connecting can only be successful and effective if people sacrifice, or annihilate, all their weaknesses. Such is the human path to happiness and abundance - as it has always been and is still so today.

This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mayan culture is perhaps one of the most interesting and mysterious civilisations to have existed on Earth, but one which has sunk into the darkness of oblivion. That is why the ancient Mayans continue to intrigue us today. Their ancient wisdom, shrouded in a mysterious symbolism, reveals an extraordinary grandeur of spirit. It still inspires us today, showing us the way into the broader consciousness of the new millennium. As a musician, scientist and sound therapist - a medium for the transfer of cosmic life energy, as well as a guide across different levels of consciousness, Mirit tries to open the curtains of the Mayan stage of life, primarily through the lens of sound and boundless consciousness.The ancient consciousness of the Mayans is increasingly becoming not only the consciousness of the new times, the new Earth, but also the consciousness of a better and more conscious life. Our values, which are constantly changing, are once again turning to the wisdom of the ancient times. The past gives meaning to and reinvigorates the future. A new human being is now being born - more joyful and spiritually less impoverished. With the boundless vastness of their consciousness, Mayan teachings put sound and music into a different perspective - to the altar of consecration and sacredness. Due to its comprehensiveness, the book about Mayan material and spiritual culture is published in two parts, although its content represents one indivisible whole and its chapters complement each other. In the first part, the author explains the genesis and the sacred book Popol Vuh from a spiritual perspective. She reveals the way of ascending the nine dimensions of the axis of consciousness (as the folk tradition would put it) - ascending through the material and non-material world and nine levels of wholeness and perfection. Mirit describes: ancient Mayan rituals, such as rain calling ceremony, the blessing on the top of the sacred tree during fire ceremonies, the symbolism of the sacred snake and the sacred tree, which is the axis of consciousness. She goes on to explore: the meaning of sacred places and temples and the magic of the Sun, the Earth, the planets and stars, the priestly ball game, the power of mental-energy imprints in the etheric body and body cells, the symbolism of blood, and, principally, the revolution of a centred consciousness, of wholeness, as well as the road to the Silent knowledge of the Universe. Climbing the pyramid is a symbol of ascending through spiritual levels, through the axis of consciousness. Such a journey to the top - to the Silence - is the goal of the ancient spiritual warriors and the purpose of their life's quest. The old rigid mindset must give way to the dignity of oneness with all levels of reality and with all existing forms, or beings. Thousands of years ago, the ancient Mayans consciously lived this philosophy of aligning the mind, soul and heart, which brings out a resonance with the sacred snake of the inaudible waves of energy and sound. Ancient Mayans persistently sought to rise above the limitations of time and space and attain the extraordinary abilities of galactic meta-human beings, of complete and awakened beings who have returned to their origin and to the Centre.

This book was released on 2019-10-03 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In book one of the COSMIC TELEPATHY, Mirit describes her ten year experience of living without food, which has connected her permanently with the Source and with the different dimensions of our being and existence. She touches on ancient rituals without food andliquid of various peoples. Both in the past and today, every kind of abstinence from food has one single purpose - the body cleansed in that way and devotion to the cosmic primordial force of life offer an opportunity to connect to the Source, to our soul. This refines all of our senses (both physical and telepathic) so that we can perceive the sound of subtle levels of consciousness, the realms which make up our reality. Sound, which is in fact everything, both visible and invisible, tangible and intangible, is identified by the Ancient Ones as the axis of consciousness, a majestic tool and the technology of a distant past which brings messages and encouragements for the future. Through the wise thoughts of North American Indians, Mirit travels the blue road of spirit, rhythm and sound. Being frequency-energy undulation, sound is the communication system of the Universe. It is time for us to restore and revive the forgotten ecology of sound and the ecology of the inaudible resonance of our mind and thoughts. In book one, the author goes into the wisdom of the Navajo, Hopi, Apache, Cherokee and Mayan tribes. Mirit, a researcher, artist, spiritual teacher and medium for the inaudible life energy, describes her life journey from the bottom up, from despair and illness to the miraculous abilities of a human being - a cosmic telepath, medium, healer and spiritual teacher. The entire series speaks about the quest for the lost key to happiness, abundance and health. The author reveals the forgotten sparks of the wisdom of various cultures, so that the knowledge of the past might help us in the future once again to attain the enlightened goal, the multidimensional awakened awareness within the Great Mysteries of life. So that we might once again live within an alignment with the cosmic, to live the Sky on Earth. The Native American Sun Dance connects us to the earthly and cosmic dimensions; it reveals how to attain the watchfulness of an eagle, jaguar and snake, how to restore the medicine wheel and the wholistic consciousness of all-connectedness. It shows us how to uncoverour visions and the effective sound beyond the material world - the rhythm of resonance.How to awaken our own dormant (telepathic) abilities. The initiatory teachings of theAncient Ones offer the possibility of out-of-body travels across dimensions, across the worlds of reality, whereas Hopi and Mayan prophecies show us the gates leading to the cosmic-earthly evolution of consciousness and the current moment. According to Native American prophecies, we live in exceptional times, when human consciousness is able to reawaken within itself a knowledge dating back thousands of years. To revive it for the benefit of all beings on Earth. Consciousness is boundless. We are rediscovering its keys. And the ability to live without food might be useful in the future.

Download or read book Moral Ecology of a Forest written by José E. Martínez-Reyes and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests are alive, filled with rich, biologically complex life forms and the interrelationships of multiple species and materials. Vulnerable to a host of changing conditions in this global era, forests are in peril as never before. New markets in carbon and environmental services attract speculators. In the name of conservation, such speculators attempt to undermine local land control in these desirable areas. Moral Ecology of a Forest provides an ethnographic account of conservation politics, particularly the conflict between Western conservation and Mayan ontological ecology. The difficult interactions of the Maya of central Quintana Roo, Mexico, for example, or the Mayan communities of the Sain Ka’an Biosphere, demonstrate the clashing interests with Western biodiversity conservation initiatives. The conflicts within the forest of Quintana Roo represent the outcome of nature in this global era, where the forces of land grabbing, conservation promotion and organizations, and capitalism vie for control of forests and land. Forests pose living questions. In addition to the ever-thrilling biology of interdependent species, forests raise questions in the sphere of political economy, and thus raise cultural and moral questions. The economic aspects focus on the power dynamics and ideological perspectives over who controls, uses, exploits, or preserves those life forms and landscapes. The cultural and moral issues focus on the symbolic meanings, forms of knowledge, and obligations that people of different backgrounds, ethnicities, and classes have constructed in relation to their lands. The Maya Forest of Quintana Roo is a historically disputed place in which these three questions come together.

Download or read book How to Change Your Mind written by Michael Pollan and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Pollan keeps you turning the pages . . . cleareyed and assured.” —New York Times A #1 New York Times Bestseller, New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2018, and New York Times Notable Book A brilliant and brave investigation into the medical and scientific revolution taking place around psychedelic drugs--and the spellbinding story of his own life-changing psychedelic experiences When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third. Thus began a singular adventure into various altered states of consciousness, along with a dive deep into both the latest brain science and the thriving underground community of psychedelic therapists. Pollan sifts the historical record to separate the truth about these mysterious drugs from the myths that have surrounded them since the 1960s, when a handful of psychedelic evangelists inadvertently catalyzed a powerful backlash against what was then a promising field of research. A unique and elegant blend of science, memoir, travel writing, history, and medicine, How to Change Your Mind is a triumph of participatory journalism. By turns dazzling and edifying, it is the gripping account of a journey to an exciting and unexpected new frontier in our understanding of the mind, the self, and our place in the world. The true subject of Pollan's "mental travelogue" is not just psychedelic drugs but also the eternal puzzle of human consciousness and how, in a world that offers us both suffering and joy, we can do our best to be fully present and find meaning in our lives.

Download or read book Spaces Speak Are You Listening written by Barry Blesser and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we experience space by listening: the concepts of aural architecture, with examples ranging from Gothic cathedrals to surround sound home theater. We experience spaces not only by seeing but also by listening. We can navigate a room in the dark, and "hear" the emptiness of a house without furniture. Our experience of music in a concert hall depends on whether we sit in the front row or under the balcony. The unique acoustics of religious spaces acquire symbolic meaning. Social relationships are strongly influenced by the way that space changes sound. In Spaces Speak, Are You Listening?, Barry Blesser and Linda-Ruth Salter examine auditory spatial awareness: experiencing space by attentive listening. Every environment has an aural architecture.The audible attributes of physical space have always contributed to the fabric of human culture, as demonstrated by prehistoric multimedia cave paintings, classical Greek open-air theaters, Gothic cathedrals, acoustic geography of French villages, modern music reproduction, and virtual spaces in home theaters. Auditory spatial awareness is a prism that reveals a culture's attitudes toward hearing and space. Some listeners can learn to "see" objects with their ears, but even without training, we can all hear spatial geometry such as an open door or low ceiling. Integrating contributions from a wide range of disciplines—including architecture, music, acoustics, evolution, anthropology, cognitive psychology, audio engineering, and many others—Spaces Speak, Are You Listening? establishes the concepts and language of aural architecture. These concepts provide an interdisciplinary guide for anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of how space enhances our well-being. Aural architecture is not the exclusive domain of specialists. Accidentally or intentionally, we all function as aural architects.

His life changes forever the day he falls deeply and irrevocably in love with Lucha, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy family. She believes money is necessary to insure happiness, while for Júbilo, who is poor, love and desire are more important than possessions. But their passion for each other enables them to build a happy life together -- until their idyll is shattered by a terrible event that drives them bitterly apart.

Download or read book Our Word is Our Weapon written by Subcomandante Marcos and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2002-05-07 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this landmark book, Seven Stories Press presents a powerful collection of literary, philosophical, and political writings of the masked Zapatista spokesperson, Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos. Introduced by Nobel Prize winner José Saramago, and illustrated with beautiful black and white photographs, Our Word Is Our Weapon crystallizes "the passion of a rebel, the poetry of a movement, and the literary genius of indigenous Mexico." Marcos first captured world attention on January 1, 1994, when he and an indigenous guerrilla group calling themselves "Zapatistas" revolted against the Mexican government and seized key towns in Mexico's southernmost state of Chiapas. In the six years that have passed since their uprising, Marcos has altered the course of Mexican politics and emerged an international symbol of grassroots movement-building, rebellion, and democracy. The prolific stream of poetic political writings, tales, and traditional myths that Marcos has penned since January 1, 1994 fill more than four volumes. Our Word Is Our Weapon presents the best of these writings, many of which have never been published before in English. Throughout this remarkable book we hear the uncompromising voice of indigenous communities living in resistance, expressing through manifestos and myths the universal human urge for dignity, democracy, and liberation. It is the voice of a people refusing to be forgotten the voice of Mexico in transition, the voice of a people struggling for democracy by using their word as their only weapon.

The events of this one significant day unfold against an unforgettable backdrop of a Mexico at once magical and diabolical.
