Have you ever felt transported to another time and place, where you felt the feelings and understood the motivations of the people there? Through storytelling, we can put ourselves in the characters' shoes. We share many of their feelings and understandings. The question of how we would respond if put in a comparable situation is something we may all ask ourselves. One of the many advantages of listening to or reading captivating stories is the feeling of belonging they can evoke. They help the audience feel at ease, which boosts their openness to new information and allows them to enter the story from their perspective. Because of the flexibility of good stories, they are surprisingly useful at breaking down complex ideas into manageable chunks. To that end, telling a story is more engaging than explaining a theoretical concept or reciting a list of numbers. Every day, we face a myriad of moral conundrums. Once we've given anything some thought and formed an opinion about its goodness or evilness, that view tends to stick with us. Although we don't always follow our moral convictions, they do serve as a source of motivation for us. Sometimes, the most important lesson we can learn from a story is the value of human interaction. Engagement. suitable for a wide range of students.

Wonderful journeys await us with their guidance, and we might learn compassion from them. They can make us happy, sad, or scared, but always leave us feeling better in the end. From an early age, we are taught to take pleasure in stories, both as a means of entertainment and as a tool in our quest for self-and world-understanding. Anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise are the six primary emotions that everyone experiences on a regular basis. The book's purpose is to instantly motivate or emotionally connect with the reader through the power of a gripping story. This book is our earnest effort to convey a single message to you.

This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 910 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of seven days, Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda captivated an eager audience with his commentary on the Shreemad Bhagavatam, extracting the essence of its message and deepening the understanding and experience of everyone present. This book is the result of that event. About the Shreemad Bhagavatam: Despite being compiled long ago by Sage Veda Vyasa, the Shreemad Bhagavatam’s message is very relevant today for it describes the powerful connection to the Divine presence that resides within the heart of every human being. Its verses prove that whenever humanity is most in need, the Divine manifests Itself on Earth to answer the call of the sincere devotees, and to re-establish balance, right action, and the life-affirming power of Divine Love. Paramahamsa Vishwananda’s commentary gives an enlightening spiritual context to these stories of men and women, kings and beggars, avatars and demons, and seamlessly connects them to the deeper issues and questions that concern all of us today: life purpose, responsibility, honesty, jealousy, pride, ego, stewardship of the Earth, and much more.

Download or read book Vanished Years written by Rupert Everett and published by Abacus. This book was released on 2012-09-27 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rupert Everett's first memoir - Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins - was an international bestseller and an instant classic on publication in 2006. Reviewers compared him to Evelyn Waugh, David Niven, Noel Coward and Lord Byron. But Rupert Everett is - of course - one of a kind. Mischievous, touching and nothing less than brilliant, this new memoir is filled with stories, from childhood to the present. Astonishing encounters; tragedy and comedy; vivid portraits of friends and rivals; razor-sharp observations of the celebrity circus from LA to London and beyond... there is something extraordinary on every page. A pilgrimage to Lourdes with his father is both hilarious and moving. A misguided step into reality TV goes horribly wrong. From New York to Moscow to Berlin to Phnom Penh, Vanished Years takes the reader on a wild and wonderful new journey with a charming (and rather disreputable) companion.

Download or read book Shreemad Bhagavad Gita written by Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 990 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shreemad Bhagavad Gita is one of the most ancient scriptures in the world. It contains the direct word of God, spoken for all of mankind, irrespective of religion or tradition. Its philosophy and teachings are central to human life. It teaches us to live our daily lives in Divinity, as a service unto God and His creation. It achieves this by gifting us true knowledge, faith, devotion, surrender, detachment, and a release of expectations and ownership over one’s own actions. It comes as a stark contrast to the lives with which we have grown accustomed to leading. Today’s world is filled with constant desire for material wealth, sense pleasures, individualism and egoism. The Gita acts as a lighthouse on the shores of Vaikunta, guiding lost sailors at the sea of illusion to safety. But like any teaching, time and unqualified minds can distort it and misunderstand what is contained within. It is for that purpose that the Lord continuously takes birth on earth in the form of the Guru to revive the true essence of the Gita, to show the simplicity of the message of Bhagavan. One such Master is Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda, and in this book, which is his personal commentary, we hold a treasure chest of spiritual insight.

Download or read book The Voice of the Silence written by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE following pages are derived from "The Book of the Golden Precepts," one of the works put into the hands of mystic students in the East. The knowledge of them is obligatory in that school, the teachings of which are accepted by many Theosophists. Therefore, as I know many of these Precepts by heart, the work of translating has been relatively an easy task for me. It is well known that, in India, the methods of psychic development differ with the Gurus (teachers or masters), not only because of their belonging to different schools of philosophy, of which there are six, but because every Guru has his own system, which he generally keeps very secret. But beyond the Himalayas the method in the Esoteric Schools does not differ, unless the Guru is simply a Lama, but little more learned than those he teaches. The work from which I here translate forms part of the same series as that from which the "Stanzas" of the Book of Dzyan were taken, on which the Secret Doctrine is based. Together with the great mystic work called Paramartha, which, the legend of Nagarjuna tells us, was delivered to the great Arhat by the Nagas or "Serpents" (in truth a name given to the ancient Initiates), the Book of the Golden Precepts claims the same origin. Yet its maxims and ideas, however noble and original, are often found under different forms in Sanskrit works, such as the Dnyaneshvari, that superb mystic treatise in which Krishna describes to Arjuna in glowing colors the condition of a fully illumined Yogi; and again in certain Upanishads. This is but natural, since most, if not all, of the greatest Arhats, the first followers of Gautama Buddha were Hindus and Aryans, not Mongolians, especially those who emigrated into Tibet. The works left by Aryasanga alone are very numerous.

Book excerpt: A critical look at widely-believed assumptions and theories held by modern scientists about the origin of life. For people who have come to accept every pronouncement of modern scientists as tested and proven truth, this book will be an eye-opener.

C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada's vivid analysis uncovers the hidden and blatantly unfounded assumptions that underlie currently fashionable doctrines about the origins and purpose of life. This book is based on taped morning-walk conversations between Srila Prabhupada and his disciple Thoudam D. Singh, Ph.D., an organic chemist.
Download or read book The Subtle Energy Body written by Maureen Lockhart and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page 803 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A global study of the psychospiritual body and its central role in the esoteric and spiritual traditions of the world • Explains the nature, purpose, and functions of the subtle body • Explores the role of the subtle body in such traditions as Alchemy, Ayurveda, Tantra, Qi Gong, and Yoga • Shows how the various layers of the subtle body provide a map for various levels of consciousness Ancient traditions of both the East and West have long maintained that the human being is a complex of material and nonmaterial systems, or energy bodies. The “subtle body” is an energetic, psychospiritual entity of several layers of increasing subtlety and metaphysical significance through which the aspirant seeks knowledge of the self and the nature of God. In many traditions, the component parts of the subtle body serve as a map of the different levels of consciousness. The practices and disciplines that evolved from an awareness and understanding of the subtle body, and how the material and nonmaterial work together, form a coherent system of psychospiritual transformation that is central to numerous and extremely diverse spiritual practices--including those of the Gnostics, Sufis, Native Americans, Vedic seers, Chinese, and Greeks. The subtle body plays an essential part in more recent traditions such as Anthroposophy and Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way and the cutting-edge science of Ervin Laszlo’s research into the Akashic field. But the benefits of understanding the role of the subtle energy body are not confined solely to the spiritual plane. The energetic bodies provide a coherent system of life-affirming principles and practices for the diagnosis and treatment of the whole person that is not only part of many traditional healing systems, such as Acupuncture and Ayurveda, but also is forming the basis for a synthesis of traditional and contemporary healing practices that could lay the foundation for the medicine of the future.
