  • - The meditations from the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, with commentary and guided practice
    av Lee Lyon
    251

    The 112 Meditations from the Book of Divine Wisdom is a translation of the meditations from the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, a revered 8th century text from the Shaivite Tantric tradition of Kashmir, India. It has been rendered into English with commentary and guided practices by Lee Lyon, a teacher of meditation to more than ten thousand people worldwide, who has studied and taught this text for over forty years.Although written over a thousand years ago, the ideas and practices in this much loved text are timeless in nature, and reflect strikingly modern sensibilities. The meditations are well known for their wholehearted engagement of all aspects of life, even the traditionally 'non-spiritual', including yogic practices, emotions, the delight of the senses, sexuality, natural states of wonder, beauty, bliss and the experience of Oneness.The text, however, is more than just a collection of extraordinary and powerful meditation instructions. It embodies an ecstatic and life affirming world view that evolved into the philosophy of Kashmir Shaivism in the centuries that followed its writing. Rather than conceptualizing spirituality, in these meditations it is approached more like music or art. We can feel the tradition's direct contact with life-intimate, kind, amused, amazed, delighted-always trying to get us to relate to our experience, to life, to actually engage it rather than just observe or be mindful of it.Although traditionally considered a text for advanced meditators, many people with no formal experience in meditation have extraordinary shifts in consciousness using these practices. Even people who think themselves incapable of meditating find themselves easily entering new and altered states.Each original Sanskrit verse has been translated as literally as possible to help convey the actual meditation instruction embedded in the rich, multidimensional original. A short commentary and an example of how each meditation might be practiced, have been added after each verse to help explain the instruction.There are many different types of meditation in the text, recognizing always the incredible richness and uniqueness of our individual consciousness. As the text progresses, contemplative practices are woven in, culminating in some of the world's most sublime meditations on Oneness. By repeatedly encouraging us to see the spontaneous unity behind the surface appearance of life, and to step into our true Self, the text holds its place as one of the crown jewels of human thought.

    Winston S. Churchill's The Second World War is the definitive, Nobel Prize-winning history of World War II, universally acknowledged as a magnificent historical reconstruction and an enduring work of literature. From Britain's darkest and finest hour to the great alliance and ultimate victory, the Second World War remains the most pivotal event of the twentieth century. Winston S. Churchill was not only the war's greatest leader, he was the free world's singularly eloquent voice of defiance in the face of Nazi tyranny, and it's that voice that animates this six-volume history. Remarkable both for its sweep and for its sense of personal involvement, it begins with The Gathering Storm; moves on to Their Finest Hour, The Grand Alliance, The Hinge of Fate, and Closing the Ring; and concludes with Triumph and Tragedy.

    One Thousand Ways to Make $1000 is the book that Warren Buffett's biographers credit with shaping the legendary investor's business acumen and giving him his trademark appreciation of compound interest. After pulling a copy of One Thousand Ways off a library shelf at age eleven and devouring the practical business advice, Buffett declared that he would be a millionaire by the time he was 35. Written in the immediate, conversational style of Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, this book is full of inventive ideas on how to make money  through excellent salesmanship, hard work, and resourcefulness. While  some of the ideas may seem quaint today-goat dairying, manufacturing  motor-driven chairs, and renting out billiard tables to local establishments are among the money-making ideas presented- the underlying fundamentals of business explained in these pages remain as solid as they were over seventy years ago. Covering a wide spectrum of topics including investing, marketing, merchandising, sales, customer relations, and raising money for charity, One Thousand Ways to Make $1000 is both a durable, classic business book and a fascinating portrait of determined entrepreneurship in Depression-era America. Everyeffort has been made to reproduce the content exactly as it was originally presented. “I like numbers, it started before I can remember,”” Buffett tells a group of Omaha Central High School students in the film.  A voracious reader his entire life, at age seven he read a book he borrowed from the library, One Thousand Ways to Make $1000, and, inspired by its lessons, began selling Coca-Cola, gum and newspapers.  His father, a salesman who survived the Depression, was elected to Congress when Buffett was 12, moving the family to Washington. Displaced and unhappy, Buffett lost interest in academics, attending the University of Nebraska at his father’s insistence; he was turned down for admission by the Harvard Business School. This rejection was propitious: Buffett discovered that two of his financial idols, Ben Graham and David Dodd, taught at the Columbia Business School; he wrote them a letter and was accepted there. From Graham he learned what he calls the “two rules of investing”: “Rule #1: Never lose money. Rule #2: Never forget Rule #1.”

    The author challenges the conventional wisdom that light is just another physical entity. He outlines a new role of light in the formation of the three main components of the universe - God, still light; the dual light waves emanated from God and the material world both organic and inorganic which is made of light bent into various spiral forms. Reading this book "is an important step toward understanding both the intellectual and spiritual balances that exist in the universe."

    GOD Works Through YOUTHIS BOOK is for those who have never tried to prove God, those who think they havetried, those who have tried and failed, those who still have hope and for those whoare daily proving Him. This book is for YOU.The purpose of this book is fivefold:1. To bring you into a true relationship with the Laws of God.2. To give you a tried and true remedy for human ills, problems and needs.3. To make real the things which you know but have not experienced.4. To give form and substance to your prayers, treatments and desires.5. To lead you to discover the Real You.J. Lowrey Fendrich tells the story of a Chinese philosopher who once came to a missionaryand offered to pay him to translate a portion of the New Testament for him each day. Themissionary agreed, and for the first lesson opened the Bible and read aloud the words,After this manner therefore, pray ye: Our Father -To his surprise the aged Chinese stopped him and said, "That will be enough for today."A year later he returned and said he was ready for the second lesson."I thought," said the missionary, "that you employed me to read to you every day.""I did," replied the old man, "but it took me a year to understand this much."The words in this book are only challenges. The real substance of the lessons is containedbetween the lines. This means that you should mark, learn and inwardly digest them asyou read. As Isaiah said, you will have to wait upon the Lord. You will have to conditionyour mind through meditation and contemplation. The more you study the lessons, themore light and understanding you will receive. "Mary kept all these things and ponderedthem in her heart [Soul]."One of my earliest efforts to put the Truth into print was called This Works. It has longbeen out of print, but requests for copies still reach me. Those who so faithfully rememberthe pamphlet will recognize that the material it contained is embraced by this volume.I have written half the book, but you must write the other half - not on paper but in yourdaily life. It remains for you to embody the thought in your consciousness. May each hourspent in the study of these lessons bring you manifold blessings!- ROBERT A. RUSSELLDr. Robert A. Russell was an exceptional author and had an uncannyability to make the most difficult spiritual subjects easy to understandand apply. While known primarily for two works "GOD Works ThroughYou" and "GOD Works Through Faith" he was in fact a prolific authorwith over 16 titles to his credit. We have spent the last several yearstracking down his legacy of works and will be publishing them all inthe coming years, each a spiritual classic in their own right.Barry J Peterson, CEO Audio Enlightenment

    Part of the bestselling Capstone Classics Series edited by Tom Butler-Bowdon, this collectible, hard-back edition of The Prophet provides an accessible and insightful introduction to this timeless spiritual workThe Prophet is an inspirational book of 26 poetry fables written in English by Lebanese-American poet and writer Kahlil Gibran. One of the most translated books in history, Gibran's famous work has been translated into over 100 different languages since its first publication in 1923. The book provides timeless spiritual wisdom on universally-shared aspects of life, such as giving, buying and selling, beauty and friendship, eating and drinking, crime and punishment and spirituality and religion.The book follows Almustafa, a man who has waited for twelve years for a ship to take him from the island of Orphalese back to his home. He has come to know the people on the island, who consider him a wise and insightful man. On the day Almustafa's ship finally arrives, he feels a deep sadness. The local elders ask him not to leave. Almustafa speaks of his philosophy of life and the truths he has discovered to the gathered crowd. His words have an almost magical quality to them. As he prepares to board his ship, it becomes clear that Almustafa's words do not refer to his journey home, but rather to the world he came from before he was born.

Böcker om samhället

Samhället vi har levt i har haft många olika faser, vilket har gjort att vårt stora urval har varit en nödvändighet då vi vill ge alla en bok de tycker är spännande. Om du är intresserad av de konkreta samhällen som har funnits genom tiderna kan du hitta böcker om allt från det traditionella, det moderna och det senmoderna samhället till det humanistiska samhället.
Här kan du till exempel läsa om de sociala, ekonomiska och kulturella relationerna mellan befolkningen, eftersom det har varit stora fluktuationer över tiden. Om du till exempel är intresserad av Kväkarna, kan en bok som ”Kväkarnas människosyn” av Henning E. Sandström vara en spännande bok att läsa. En fascinerande berättelse om kväkarna i det förflutna, nuet och framtiden. Annars kanske du tycker att boken ”Society without God” av Phil Zuckerman är intressant? Boken behandlar många frågor om hur vårt samhälle kan fungera när Sverige tror mycket mindre på Gud än resten av världen. Vi har en bok för alla.

Vi har också böcker om den värld vi lever i idag och vilka svåra samhällen människor har varit med om tidigare och naturligtvis vilket inflytande det har haft på oss idag.
