Even in the absence of Nothing... "I am still something"
Author: Paul M. Mahlobogwane
Publisher: Booktango
ISBN: 1468944177
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
This book is written as a motivation to elevate the broken hearts to the Living God, and to remind us of who we are in Christ when we are faced with stage of emptiness in our lives, and to remind us also of what God has installed for us through Christ as his beloved ones. The book speaks about the positive power of obedience when one is faced with nothing, or emptiness in life, the negative influence power of depending on experience as a child of God. This book is written to remind us that emptiness is not a limitation to God, and neither can we be limited to the power of this dark force because of the presence of God in us & with us, but only if we learn to embrace the power of obedience. The book contains ten (10) reasons that proves that God does really cares for us, more than we have even ever thought about; it explains the meaning of the cross of Christ for our lives- why did Jesus had to die for us, and explains the meaning why it is important “to know God”. This book is written to remind us that “A desperate mind, is a defeated mind” and “he who rejects a good advice, rejects the right direction;” and “unless you learn to obey, you will never know the truthfulness & faithfulness of God in your life”

Naked and Empty-Handed
Author: Swami Anand Nito
Publisher: Trafford
ISBN: 9781412019804
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The body of the book is structured along three sections, called "WHAT?", "HOW?" and "WOW!" "WHAT?" explains the predicament of the Human condition, in which we survive as social entities at the expense of our inner harmony and bliss. It explores the process by which since our birth, we are forced by the socio-cultural context in which we grow up to abandon and forget about our Cosmic, Unlimited dimension, how we have to learn to identify with our "persona" and our role in the social drama, at the expense of our Ultimate Identity, which is no other than the totality of Existence, present, past and future. I use the analogy of a wave who forgets it is nothing but a movement at the surface of the Ocean, and is coerced into believing that it has a separate existence, independently of the Ocean and its water, and how this illusion is the source of all human misery and suffering. This section also explains the difference between traditional psychotherapy, which tries to fix the wave's problems as a wave, and my Transcendence therapy approach, which aims at helping the wave to remember that it has never been disconnected from all the rest of the Ocean, thus putting an end to the misery derived from the illusion of separateness and to the illusion of mortality. Indeed, when a wave dies, where goes the water that was in it? Just nowhere! It stays in the Ocean where it's always been! The form of the wave dies one day, but its substance is forever alive... In this section I also explain how living in and through the mind is akin to trying to appreciate music, love and art through a pocket calculator, and how stepping into the realm of Energy is the way out of the jail. The second part of the book "HOW?" is a development of the topics discussed in part one, in the context of group workshops, with anecdotes, examples taken from real situations, and it elaborates on subjects such as Fear, Breathing, Jealousy, Sex and Relationships, the Heart, Energy, Music, Trust, Observing, Taking responsibility, Talking, Taking risks, The Body, Problems, Breathing, Polarity, Violence, Teasing, Regression, Magic, Meditation The third and last section, "WOW!" shows the fallacy of trying to attain to Ultimate freedom through egocentric efforts, reveals the contradiction of trying to be reunited with the Ocean, because that would be denying that we are One with the One already! It warns against the last illusion on the Journey, that "I can become free."
