We live in the Golden Age of publishing for spiritual, esoteric, and new age books of all conceivable stripes (and then there is the Internet). Amongst this wild proliferation of available information there has occurred a cheapening effect, in which many teachings have been watered down to make them palatable for a public with diminishing attention spans and suffering from information overload. For the sincere spiritual seeker there needs to be an awareness of the various ways we can go astray on the path, or fall off the path altogether. The whole idea of spirituality is to be awake, yet it is all too easy to simply end up in yet another dream world, thinking that we have found some higher truth. Rude Awakening: Perils, Pitfalls, and Hard Truths of the Spiritual Path is dedicated to examining, under a sharp light, the many ways our spiritual development goes wrong, or disappears altogether in the sheer crush of books and the routine grind of daily life. ,
‘What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.’— Plutarch In this compact volume, Gian Kumar, a thinker by nature, has delved into the essence of spirituality, and its relationship with every aspect of human existence. When we cease to blame destiny for every mishap occurring in our lives and instead seek answers from within, we will be on the path to illumination and awareness. Gian Kumar has put this wisdom to the test innumerable times in his life. His own struggles strengthened his resolve to fight life’s battles from his inner resources rather than look outward. He shares his insights with us, offering some new revelations each time. He reiterates that spiritualism is purely based on the theory that ‘all that exists is one and not two.’ We are here to experience this oneness, with the realization that we are all interconnected and interrelated and simply cannot exist on our own. This volume should be used as an advanced guide to help us discover the inner path of spirituality, and how to live complete, fulfilling lives.
Remembering Awake will guide you to a safe frequency where you can experience the bliss of a vulnerable heart, with no protective prison walls keeping it from sharing its love and wisdom. This book will help you remember that all the energies of what you see as your reality are fragments of the same cosmic soul discovering a way to tune their unique note into the celestial harmony of creation’s symphony. It is time for our soul to awaken to its true potential and collectively create a more loving reality. This book is a guidebook on how to do that. It will help you understand how important and perfect your soul’s journey through time has been. It will help your mind relax and melt into harmony with all the dimensions of our consciousness. Remembering Awake will help you open the prisons your limbic system has placed you in and dissolve some of the amnesia that keeps you from remembering that only one unconditionally loving soul is here “playing Earth.” Through this profound awakening, you will set your mind and soul free to love all it encounters and feel a peace within that you never dreamed existed. Dr. Julie Foster’s mind was trapped in slumber for the first fifty years of her life. In 2020, her hands “turned on,” and she began to feel the energetic entanglements in her patients and humanity that are the root cause of our diseases. She learned that the prescriptions she wrote as a medical doctor were just bandages which quieted symptoms. This epiphany opened her mind and gave her the desire to find a way to help her patients cure, rather than conceal, their diseases. Through an open heart, she remembered we all have a God particle that creates our human suit and can be one with all energy in existence. She learned to surrender and let “God heal God” by connecting to the God particle in those who came to her for healing. We are the world teacher. Every fragment of our soul has wisdom to share. This book will help you awaken so you can feel blessed by the loving wisdom you have exchanged with others’ souls through choosing to play Earth. Julie ends many blogs with, “I love you. We got this.” By the end of the book, you will embody the cosmic vibration of those words and share it in your interactions with other amazing versions of your soul. It is time to discover the joy of remembering who you truly are by “loving open.” Julie’s loving stories on how we heal will guide you to this reality.
Mirror of Consciousness ambitiously traverses a wide range of themes pertaining to art, creativity, knowledge and theory. Its unique perspective lies in its exposition of Vedic Science as brought to light by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and in the application of the principles of this science to preliminary analysis of the Vastusutra Upanishad. No other publication has examined art and theory with the same comprehensive vision. To do justice to the topic of universal value in art and theory, the author has delved into several areas that impact the visual arts--late twentieth-century debates in art theory, models of historiography, new definitions of culture and tradition--in the context of the individual`s own consciousness or simplest form of awareness. Though comprehensive and detailed, it will appeal to those who are curious about trends in the visual arts, the advent and impact of new technologies, and the development of collective consciousness in our time.
In Western medicine, health-care practitioners learn physical anatomy. There is another anatomy just as important — the energetic anatomy. If you have read the previous books in this series, you not only learned about your spiritual anatomy — some of which had never been revealed, at least I’d never heard about it — but also how to heal these aspects of yourself. Just by reading the healing experiences, you receive the healing. In this book, you will learn about structures you might have heard of but know little about, such as the minor chakras, the hara line, the core star, and so forth. You also will learn about structures you never knew about, such as the heart’s healing center. In every case, you are taught how to bring healing and clarity to these structures. Things have happened to you in this amazing life of yours that hide the love you are. When things happen, there is damage to your energy field. A damaged energy field will result in damage to any of your bodies— emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical. Because every aspect of you is part of an integrated whole, when one part is damaged, then all parts are affected in some way. Read this book with an open heart. Set your intention for healing. Know that as you read with an open heart, you are being healed. Often the layers are many. Every time you ask, you are healed. Even small healings have a powerful impact on you, your life, and those around you. Each time you are healed, that healing releases from you an energy that might have been triggered by another, resulting in another person being wounded. Your healing prevents a deep wound from moving across the planet, which prevents someone else from being wounded, which prevents another person from being wounded, and on and on. When you repair even the smallest part of your energy field, you raise your vibration and life is easier.
Pollock argues that Rosenzweig's The Star of Redemption is devoted to the philosophical task of grasping 'the All' - the whole of what is - as a system.
Awakening: An Introduction to the History of Eastern Thought engages students with anecdotes, primary and secondary sources, an accessible writing style, and a clear historical approach. The text focuses on India, China, and Japan, while showing the relationships that exist between Eastern and Western traditions. Patrick Bresnan consistently links the past to the present, so students may see that Eastern traditions, however ancient their origins, are living traditions and relevant to modern times.
