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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While languishing in the desert of depression, devout Christian Shannon Martindale assumed her complete healing would be the result of her faith. Exercising the principles offered by scripture which previously sustained her through the challenges of divorce, single-parenting, family deaths, remarriage, and infertility, she entered the valley of sorrow, searching for spiritual replenishment, yet still remaining unhealed. Guidance finally came by discovering the origin of her disorder physiologically residing in an over-sensitive nervous system. Through a psychiatrist who combined Christian therapy with an international self-help organization emphasizing the essential necessity of balance, today she maintains her mental, emotional and spiritual health by avoiding extremes. She now leads a normal life, integrating Christianity and psychology in this personal account of her successful recovery, offered for all who have walked the path of uncertainty, frequently experienced by depressed Christians.
