Download or read book The Absence of Myth written by Georges Bataille and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Bataille, the absence of myth had itself become the myth of the modern age. In a world that had lost the secret of its cohesion, Bataille saw surrealism as both a symptom and a beginning of an attempt to address this loss. His writings on this theme are the result of a profound reflection in the wake of World War Two. The Absence of Myth is the most incisive study yet made of surrealism, insisting on its importance as a cultural and social phenomenon with far-reaching consequences. Clarifying Bataille's links with the surrealist movement, and throwing revealing light on his complex and greatly misunderstood relationship with Andre Breton, The Absence of Myth shows Bataille to be a much more radical figure than his postmodernist devotees would have us believe: a man who continually tried to extend Marxist social theory; a pessimistic thinker, but one as far removed from nihilism as can be.

Download or read book Lucid Dreaming written by Robert Waggoner and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self is the account of an extraordinarily talented lucid dreamer who goes beyond the boundaries of both psychology and religion. In the process, he stumbles upon the Inner Self. While lucid (consciously aware) in the dream state and able to act and interact with dream figures, objects, and settings, dream expert Robert Waggoner experienced something transformative and unexpected. He was able to interact consciously with the dream observer - the apparent Inner Self - within the dream. At first this seemed shocking, even impossible, since psychology normally alludes to such theoretical inner aspects as the Subliminal Self, the Center, the Internal Self-Helper in vague and theoretical ways. Waggoner came to realize, however, that aware interaction with the Inner Self was not only possible, but actual and highly inspiring. He concluded that while aware in the dream state, one has both a psychological tool and a platform from which to understand dreaming and the larger picture of man's psyche as well. Waggoner proposes 5 stages of lucid dreaming and guides readers through them, offering advice for those who have never experienced the lucid dream state and suggestions for how experienced lucid dreamers can advance to a new level. Lucid Dreaming offers exciting insights and vivid illustrations that will intrigue not only avid dreamworkers but anyone who is interested in consciousness, identity, and the definition of reality.

Download or read book Althar The Final Letting Go written by Joachim Wolffram and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-08-22 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "The Final Letting Go," Althar states that all the explanations he has given so far were essentially a preparation for the final letting go. By that he means the release of the belief that separation is real. In Althar's words, this belief is the root cause of all existence within polarity. No matter which spiritual path someone has chosen, in the end he is confronted with the final letting go. Althar describes an alternative view of the world of polarity and explains why a being is choosing rather than creating its reality. Furthermore, this worldview opens up a completely different view of the seemingly omnipresent energy. He describes the nature of True Creation and why there cannot be True Creation within polarity. Only with letting go of the belief in separation will True Creation become the natural expression of an enlightened being. As in the previous volumes, Althar emphasizes that enlightenment is not created, but is exposed by letting go. With respect to embodied ascension, he describes in detail the general conditions for the realization of the light body and suggests in this regard an extremely effective exercise. As in the previous volumes, Althar succeeds in expressing his timeless wisdom in a very clear and humorous way. In doing so, he very personally incorporates the reader into his remarks and reminds him time and again of his own inner wisdom. Contents: About the Final Letting Go; The Root Cause of Polarity; The Ambassador of Yourself; Jumping Off the Cliff - Or How it All Began; The Name of Your True Self; The Song of True Creation; Existence in Expanding Perfection; Peter and the Dark Lady; The Magic of Your Light Body; The Myth of Creation; The Myth of Creating Your Reality; The Myth of Energy; The Myth of Beauty; The Myth of Companionship; The Melancholy of the Final Death; The Final Letting Go; In a Quite Moment; The Althar series consists of: Volume 1: "Althar - The Crystal Dragon" Volume 2: "Althar - The New Magi" Volume 3: "Althar - Towards Utopia" Volume 4: "Althar - The Final Letting Go"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this second volume, Althar continues to share his wisdom about the greater nature of reality, the central theme being embodied ascension. Using relatable metaphors, he invites the reader on a journey into conscious creation. Althar uses expansive explanations to define how consciousness creates at a personal level, as well as at a group level. Then he dives into the non-linear and parallel nature of time, bringing forth a new awareness of how patterns lead to ever-recurring processes and incarnations in time. With this understanding, he then points out specific patterns that affect the individual and the human species as a whole. For this purpose, he shares some of his very personal experiences from the time of Atlantis and shows how the consequences of the downfall of Atlantis still have an effect today. Althar explains the most effective way to solve the obstacles mentioned, and finally, summarizes all of his arguments by skillfully characterizing the path of the New Magi.

Download or read book Althar Opus Magnum written by Joachim Wolffram and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-22 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With "Opus Magnum" Althar succeeds in concluding his series of books on enlightenment and embodied ascension with no less than a thunderbolt! In his humorous and direct way, he takes the reader on a journey that finally brings to fruition his highest human potential: The realization of his true nature beyond all separation. Althar pays special attention to how the connection of an incarnated consciousness with matter comes about at the level of DNA, in order for a human to absolutely assume the belief of "being a body." It is precisely this belief that repeatedly pulls one back into the dream of separation, and thus makes a continual existence in enlightenment while embodied almost impossible. Overcoming this identification as a "body" is very delicate, and becomes all the more complicated by inner resistance and all sorts of interferences stemming from the macro and micro level of consciousness. Althar illuminates these in detail and sensitizes the reader to the challenges he may face along his journey. In retrospect, Aouwa explains how difficult it was to connect consciousness and matter in order to overcome the standstill of the Second Round of Creation. This required extremely drastic measures carried out by a group called Uru, a branch of the Uriel family. Uru accompanies all the messages as a profound guest and is joined by Ila, the Unborn Goddess of Feminine Beingness. Due to Uru's measures, significant side effects came about - namely the paralyzing feelings of fear, guilt, and shame. Accompanied by the compassionate, radiant presence of Ila, Althar and Aouwa prepare the reader for the enormity of facing these intensive feelings, and repeatedly expose the illusionary nature of all obstacles. Deepening and expanding upon the previously presented light body exercise, Althar advises the reader how this practice of "not-doing" eliminates all feelings of lack. In addition, he introduces an extension of the exercise that gently releases the consciousness hypnotically interwoven with DNA, and dissolves the identification with the body. As his grand finale, Althar discusses the potentially overwhelming consequences of completely letting go of the belief in separation. This naturally leads to the "Opus Magnum," the Great Work - the inner transformation of the human self into divine beingness, which is also known as embodied ascension. Contents: Liberating Illusions; The Eye of Suchness; The Creation of Scene Spheres; The Unborn Goddess of Female Beingness; The Lord of Death; Micro Level Bindings of Consciousness; Let's Talk Blood; Blueprints and DNA; The Revelation of True Power; The Bearer of the Light; The Spectrum of Consciousness; The Light Body Exercise; Opus Magnum; The Big Picture; The Transmission of the Light; The Althar series consists of: Volume 1: "Althar - The Crystal Dragon" Volume 2: "Althar - The New Magi" Volume 3: "Althar - Towards Utopia" Volume 4: "Althar - The Final Letting Go" Volume 5: "Althar - Opus Magnum"

Download or read book None of this is Real written by Miranda F. Mellis and published by Sidebrow. This book was released on 2012 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. NONE OF THIS IS REAL imagines a not-too-alternate reality of philosophical children, reincarnating chimeras, mutant matriarchies, and kind seers adapting to affliction. These five fictions question what is knowable and what actions can be taken in the face of loss—of family, heritage, ecosystems, agency, and power. A face incapable of masking its sneering rebellions; young sisters in search of their missing mother; a page whose very body extracts meaning from occult readings in response to alienation; a never-ending line for coffee that becomes a surreal site of quotidian wars in miniature; a nightmare future of scientific subjugation and regenerate seekers—this first collection by the author of THE REVISIONIST illuminates the gap between institutional powers and those failed by, or otherwise mortally at odds with, those powers. Drawing inspiration from absurdism, noir, fairy tales, and the occult, NONE OF THIS IS REAL brings the playfulness of contemporary fabulism to bear on today's pressing ethical and political issues, exploring the potential and limits of magical thinking with empathy, subtle humor, and an engrossing mastery of the fictional form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “propulsive and mesmerizing” (The New York Times) story collection by the International Booker–shortlisted author of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed and Our Share of Night—now with a new short story. The short stories of Mariana Enriquez are: “The most exciting discovery I’ve made in fiction for some time.”—Kazuo Ishiguro “Violent and cool, told in voices so lucid they feel spoken.”—The Boston Globe (Best Books of the Year) Electric, disturbing, and exhilarating, the stories of Things We Lost in the Fire explore multiple dimensions of life and death in contemporary Argentina. Each haunting tale simmers with the nation's troubled history, but among the abandoned houses, black magic, superstitions, lost loves and regrets, there is also friendship, compassion, and humor. Translated by the National Book Award-winning Megan McDowell, these “slim but phenomenal” (Vanity Fair) stories ask the biggest questions of life and show why Mariana Enriquez has become one of the most celebrated new voices in global literature.
