Download or read book The Unconditioned Mind written by David Edmund Moody and published by Quest Books. This book was released on 2013-01-07 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Like an iridescent diamond,” is how David Moody describes revered philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti in this intimate portrait of him at the Oak Grove School in California. Krishnamurti, once groomed by Theosophists to become the next World Teacher, founded the school in 1975 and personally oversaw it for the last decade of his life. Moody, Oak Grove’s first teacher and later director, recounts their close work together and explains Krishnamurti’s ideas with splendid clarity. He also recounts how those ideas sparked competition among the staff, producing a complex force-field that challenged Moody to the utmost. The resulting drama, and Krishnamurti’s involvement in it, forms the core of this rare, behind-the-scenes view.
Download or read book Radiant Mind written by Peter Fenner and published by Readhowyouwant. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether it is called enlightenment, pure presence, or ''unconditioned awareness,'' there exists an awakened state of true liberation that is at the heart of every contemplative tradition. Yet according to Peter Fenner, this experience of boundless consciousness does not have to exist separately from your day-to-day ''conditioned'' existence. Rather, you can learn to live as a unique individual at the same time as you rest in a unified expanse of oneness with all existence - in a state he calls ''Radiant Mind.'' Students in the West often feel frustrated in trying to follow the Eastern path to awakening, confused by seemingly vague or counter-intuitive teachings. Peter Fenner created the Radiant Mind practice to help you break through the obstacles that are often challenging for practitioners in our culture. ''As extraordinary as unconditioned awareness may sound,'' teaches Peter Fenner, ''it isn't distant from our everyday life; it's always read-ily available to us.'' With Radiant Mind, this master teacher crystallizes the contemplative wisdom of the East into an eminently accessible guide for living a life ''suffused with pure bliss.''

Download or read book The Selfless Mind written by Peter Harvey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This careful analysis of early Buddhist thought opens out a perspective in which no permanent Self is accepted, but a rich analysis of changing and potent mental processes is developed. It explores issues relating to the not-Self teaching: self-development, moral responsibility, the between-lives period, and the 'undetermined questions' on the world, on the 'life principle' and on the liberated one after death. It examines the 'person' as a flowing continuity centred on consciousness or discernment (vinnana) configured in changing minds-sets (cittas). The resting state of this is seen as 'brightly shining' - like the 'Buddha nature' of Mahayana thought - so as to represent the potential for Nirvana. Nirvana is then shown to be a state in which consciousness transcends all objects, and thus participates in a timeless, unconditioned realm.
Download or read book Neurodharma written by Rick Hanson and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2020 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reverse-engineer your brain to experience freedom from suffering with this radically bold yet practical seven-step plan from the New York Times bestselling author of Buddha's Brain and Hardwiring Happiness. Building on his classic bestseller Buddha's Brain, New York Times bestselling author and senior fellow of the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley Rick Hanson uses the Buddhist analysis of the mind as a roadmap for strengthening the neural circuitry of deep calm, contentment, kindness, and wisdom--qualities we all need to succeed in the face of adversity. Most books about transformations of consciousness are theoretical or religious, typically full of jargon, pep talks, and calls to believe on faith alone. Instead, this is a book of practice, immediately actionable with simple, powerful guided meditations--and despite this grounded approach, its promise is radically life-changing. This book is nothing short of a path to transcendence, a method for liberating the mind and heart, discovering freedom from suffering, and engaging life with a kind heart and inner peace. A step-by-step path of practical ideas and tools, Dr. Hanson guides readers with his usual encouragement, good humor, and personal examples.
Download or read book The Relaxed Mind written by Dza Kilung Rinpoche and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1990s, shortly after arriving in the United States, it became clear to Dza Kilung Rinpoche that his Western students responded to traditional meditation instructions differently from his students back in Asia. The Westerners didn’t know how to relax—our pressured, fast-paced lifestyles carried over into meditation. The Relaxed Mind contains instructions for the seven-phase meditation practice Dza Kilung Rinpoche developed for students in the West. It’s adapted from traditional instructions to counteract the overwhelming distraction that is becoming a global culture these days, not only in the West. Experienced meditators may be surprised to find their practice deepening through letting go of tension. This is also an excellent meditation manual for any beginner.

Download or read book The Humanness of Being Pathways to the Unconditioned Mind written by Terry-Anne Paquette and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-31 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are mortal humans. We are immortal beings. We are Beings entering this temporary world of the human experience to create, destroy, love, hate. All expressions of creation in their billions of forms. As mortal humans, there is little room for the realization of our inherent nature, let alone for it to be encouraged and nourished. The foundation of our belief system is conditioned and influenced by our environment, ancestry, genetic patterns and gender. Contemplating these pages invites in pathways to the unconditioned mind, where understanding our true nature takes us to the source of that which we are truly seeking. That which we long for, that will never exist in a world of duality, the constant flux and never ending suffering. This work awakens us to the Humanness of Being.

Download or read book An Uncommon Collaboration written by David Moody and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two decades, renowned theoretical physicist David Bohm engaged in a close collaboration with psychological philosopher J. Krishnamurti. The two men participated together in 144 recorded dialogues and many unrecorded conversations, and the transcripts of their discussions appear in several published volumes. Their mutual interests encompassed the whole of human consciousness, its nature and structure, and the sources of illusion and conflict in the individual and in society. An Uncommon Collaboration: David Bohm and J. Krishnamurti describes the course of their relationship from beginning to end, including the substance of their dialogues as well as the uneven quality of their personal interactions. Author David Edmund Moody worked with both men for more than a decade, and his observations of them inform and supplement his description of their relationship. Bohm's background as a physicist was characterized by his close associations with Oppenheimer and Einstein, his revolutionary contributions to the foundations of quantum mechanics, and his clash with the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities, an event which ultimately deprived him of his American citizenship. Krishnamurti's background was notable for his break with the Theosophical Society, which had nurtured him as a youth and hailed him as the World Teacher. He developed his own independent philosophy, one which offered penetrating insights into the human condition and emphasized freedom from all authority in psychological and religious matters. An Uncommon Collaboration: David Bohm and J. Krishnamurti describes the life stories of the two men individually as well as the nature and quality of their relationship. The book concludes with a critical assessment of each man's contribution to the work they were engaged in, their mutual accomplishments, and the issues that remain unresolved. Moody's work with Bohm featured several recorded dialogues that examined Bohm's views on Krishnamurti's philosophy and his personality. Complete transcripts of these conversations provide a rich, illuminating supplement to the text.

Download or read book Mind in Society written by L. S. Vygotsky and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great Russian psychologist L. S. Vygotsky has long been recognized as a pioneer in developmental psychology. But somewhat ironically, his theory of development has never been well understood in the West. Mind in Society should correct much of this misunderstanding. Carefully edited by a group of outstanding Vygotsky scholars, the book presents a unique selection of Vygotsky’s important essays, most of which have previously been unavailable in English. The Vygotsky who emerges from these pages can no longer be glibly included among the neobehaviorists. In these essays he outlines a dialectical-materialist theory of cognitive development that anticipates much recent work in American social science. The mind, Vygotsky argues, cannot be understood in isolation from the surrounding society. Man is the only animal who uses tools to alter his own inner world as well as the world around him. From the handkerchief knotted as a simple mnemonic device to the complexities of symbolic language, society provides the individual with technology that can be used to shape the private processes of mind. In Mind in Society Vygotsky applies this theoretical framework to the development of perception, attention, memory, language, and play, and he examines its implications for education. The result is a remarkably interesting book that is bound to renew Vygotsky’s relevance to modern psychological thought.

Download or read book Glimpses of Eternity written by Valeh Jafarov and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-04-20 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his university days in Russia, where he was training to become an engineer, author Valeh Jafarov had a series of mystical experiences that triggered a life-changing spiritual awakening. Through these experiences and his subsequent study of spirituality, consciousness, psychoanalysis and related topics, he gained a deeper understanding of the architecture of the mind, the material and non-material worlds, the nature of the human psyche, the main causes of the problems we face in the modern world, and their relation to the lack of love and the dominance of the ego in our lives. This experience became the foundation for a lifetime of spiritual searching and growth that was intensified when he moved from engineering into the field of healthcare and holistic medicine. Jafarov wrote this book not only to share his experiences and insights with readers but also to show them how they, too, can break the limitations of consciousness, materialism, and the ego and live a new life filled with love, compassion, and fulfillment. Rather than a series of practical steps, this book offers inspiration for readers to follow their own unique path as they seek to make contact with the divine and catch their own glimpses of eternity.
