Book excerpt: Traders traveling the Silk Road between China and Persia reintroduced alchemy to Europe in the thirteenth century after centuries of persecution. Followers of Hermes, the father of alchemy, operate under the philosophy that impurities and unhealthy attitudes and actions deplete a person's vital energies, overtaxing the organs and nerves which leads to disease. These same basic tenets have been adopted or discovered independently by subsequent Eastern and Western alchemical practitioners. Alchemy, whether Eastern or Western, has three important questions to explore: >Who am I and from where did I come? >What is my curriculum I am to learn in this life? >Where am I going? All people have in common nine aspects (called Palaces by the Chinese) through which we explore these questions in depth, both by engaging in the world and through introspection. In this new workbook, author Dr. Mark Holmes uses the Nine Transformations model as the basis for internal or spiritual alchemy, to support changing one's base personality traits into the golden elixir of the true self, so we become a "real human being" who expresses unconditional loving. The Palaces can be sources of joy or a lifelong challenge, depending upon one's viewpoint. Throughout this Workbook, Holmes helps you explore how to matriculate those Palaces in which we have karma/attachments by applying time-tested longevity techniques such as: -Meditations and visualizations -Understanding emotions and reframing beliefs -Transforming Five Thieves into Five Virtues -Balancing the Three Treasures/Three Selves -Tonifying organs and meridians -Adjusting diet, taking herbs, stimulating acupuncture points Join Dr. Holmes in self-discovery through the "Nine Transformations" workbook. Dr. Mark Holmes, OMD, L. Ac, Dipl. Chinese Herbs (NCCAOM) and Dipl. Acupuncture (NCCAOM), began his alchemy journey as an oriental philosophy major in the late 1960s. He graduated from formal Oriental medicine studies in Hong Kong in 1974 and developed a high-profile practice at his Center for Regeneration in Beverly Hills, which included such notables as Nobel Laureate Bishop Desmond Tutu, R. Buckminster Fuller, and many executives and actors in the entertainment industry. Dr. Holmes now facilitates Chinese alchemy seminars. Visit the author's website here: www.DrMarkHolmes.com

Download or read book The Legacy Structure of Russia s One Hundred Year Transformation written by David Foley and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-11-16 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research and analysis of the post-Soviet Russian experience of political, economic and social change have generally focused attention on the complications and influences of the Soviet legacy on the transition process with most early main stream studies emphasizing the difficulties of the adoption of the institutions of democracy and a free market economy to the centralized command and control legacy structures carried over from that adjacent system to the more recent analyses that have attempted to explain why the Putinist hybrid authoritarian democracy emerged to take control of the Russian state. The complex nature of the Russian experience of political, social and economic change had yet to be explained as a long-term legacy analysis until now with the linkages presented in this study of the legacies and structures that have defied attempts at reform by the Bolsheviks, the Soviets and the modern Republicans. The political geography of Russia represents a districting system that defines the people and places and represents an influential legacy structure that has had a long reach from the Russia of Imperialism to the Russia of Putinism and the twenty first century. A clearer understanding of the influences the Imperial legacy brings to the Russian transformation enables the student of post-Soviet Russian transition an opportunity to contextualize the strong linkages of historical governance structures with the one hundred years of Bolshevik and Soviet system capture and the struggles of transformation faced by the government and people of Russia today.

Download or read book Original Enlightenment and the Transformation of Medieval Japanese Buddhism written by Jacqueline I. Stone and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2003-05-31 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Original enlightenment thought (hongaku shiso) dominated Buddhist intellectual circles throughout Japan’s medieval period. Enlightenment, this discourse claims, is neither a goal to be achieved nor a potential to be realized but the true status of all things. Every animate and inanimate object manifests the primordially enlightened Buddha just as it is. Seen in its true aspect, every activity of daily life—eating, sleeping, even one’s deluded thinking—is the Buddha’s conduct. Emerging from within the powerful Tendai School, ideas of original enlightenment were appropriated by a number of Buddhist traditions and influenced nascent theories about the kami (local deities) as well as medieval aesthetics and the literary and performing arts. Scholars and commentators have long recognized the historical importance of original enlightenment thought but differ heatedly over how it is to be understood. Some tout it as the pinnacle of the Buddhist philosophy of absolute non-dualism. Others claim to find in it the paradigmatic expression of a timeless Japanese spirituality. According other readings, it represents a dangerous anti-nomianism that undermined observance of moral precepts, precipitated a decline in Buddhist scholarship, and denied the need for religious discipline. Still others denounce it as an authoritarian ideology that, by sacralizing the given order, has in effect legitimized hierarchy and discriminative social practices. Often the acceptance or rejection of original enlightenment thought is seen as the fault line along which traditional Buddhist institutions are to be differentiated from the new Buddhist movements (Zen, Pure Land, and Nichiren) that arose during Japan’s medieval period. Jacqueline Stone’s groundbreaking study moves beyond the treatment of the original enlightenment doctrine as abstract philosophy to explore its historical dimension. Drawing on a wealth of medieval primary sources and modern Japanese scholarship, it places this discourse in its ritual, institutional, and social contexts, illuminating its importance to the maintenance of traditions of lineage and the secret transmission of knowledge that characterized several medieval Japanese elite culture. It sheds new light on interpretive strategies employed in pre-modern Japanese Buddhist texts, an area that hitherto has received a little attention. Through these and other lines of investigation, Stone problematizes entrenched notions of “corruption” in the medieval Buddhist establishment. Using the examples of Tendai and Nichiren Buddhism and their interactions throughout the medieval period, she calls into question both overly facile distinctions between “old” and “new” Buddhism and the long-standing scholarly assumptions that have perpetuated them. This study marks a significant contribution to ongoing debates over definitions of Buddhism in the Kamakura era (1185–1333), long regarded as a formative period in Japanese religion and culture. Stone argues that “original enlightenment thought” represents a substantial rethinking of Buddhist enlightenment that cuts across the distinction between “old” and “new” institutions and was particularly characteristic of the medieval period.

Download or read book The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness written by Carl Johan Calleman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004-03-25 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals the Mayan calendar to be a spiritual device that describes the evolution of human consciousness from ancient times into the future • Shows the connection between cosmic evolution and actual human history • Provides a new science of time that explains why time not only seems to be speeding up in the modern world but is actually getting faster • Explains how the end of the Mayan calendar is not the end of the world, but a path toward enlightenment The prophetic Mayan calendar is not keyed to the movement of planetary bodies. Instead, it functions as a metaphysical map of the evolution of consciousness and records how spiritual time flows--providing a new science of time. The calendar is associated with nine creation cycles, which represent nine levels of consciousness or Underworlds on the Mayan cosmic pyramid. Through empirical research Calleman shows how this pyramidal structure of the development of consciousness can explain things as disparate as the common origin of world religions and the modern complaint that time seems to be moving faster. Time, in fact, is speeding up as we transition from the materialist Planetary Underworld of time that governs us today to a new and higher frequency of consciousness--the Galactic Underworld--in preparation for the final Universal level of conscious enlightenment. Calleman reveals how the Mayan calendar is a spiritual device that enables a greater understanding of the nature of conscious evolution throughout human history and the concrete steps we can take to align ourselves with this growth toward enlightenment.

Download or read book An Introductory Study on China s Cultural Transformation in Recent Times written by Yunzhi Geng and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines in detail the basic trajectory of the cultural transformation and brings to light the extrinsic conditions and intrinsic mechanisms involved. It focuses on the period from after the Opium Wars to the New Culture Movement, as the New Culture Movement can be considered a pivotal phase in the cultural transformation of modern-day China. The New Culture Movement was a revolutionary eruption triggered by the accumulation of all the new qualitative cultural factors since the Opium Wars. Superficially, the movement’s goal seemed to be to overthrow the traditional culture. But in essence its true objective was to conduct an overall “screening” of that culture. The book elaborates a broad variety of points in this context, including: the ideological and cultural evolution following the Opium Wars; the pressing challenges faced by “Zhong Ti”; the initial shaping of social, public and cultural spaces and major trends in ideological and cultural transformation at the end of the Qing Dynasty; the political disarray and conflicts between the new and old ideology in the first years of the Republic; the rise of the New Culture Movement; and the role of conservatism in the transition to a modern culture.
