Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
The Awakening presents a profound yet simple message: how to awaken from emotional imprisonment and find psychological freedom.Many of us feel we are not living life to the full or living it as we should. Haunted by anxiety, we long for lifelines that can lift us out of the mundane into what Seamus Heaney called 'the marvellous'. If you feel like this, then The Awakening may be for you.Drawing on the wisdom of ancient Ireland and using the symbol of the Celtic Cross as an image for how to live, Dr O'Connor shows us that we inhabit both a vertical and a horizontal life, which intersect where the eternal breaks into the everyday and ordinary activities are infused with an extraordinary purpose.Taking you beyond mindfulness and introducing delightful new concepts like 'Mind-Flight', this book uncovers the sparkling jewels buried in the rubble of life's indifference. You can turn a tiny space into a palace, a misfortune into an opportunity, a disability into a blessing and fly when life expects you to fall. The Awakening, like the first light at Newgrange, will illuminate the hidden blessings in what may seem to be your darkened life.

Girl Awakened

Pages : 404
Book Description
Samantha Kingston isn't what anyone would call a spiritually-bent millennial. With her perfect boyfriend, perfect job, and perennially-packed social calendar, the world of crystals, downward dogs, chakras and intentions seems as distant to her as Mars. Absurd too, given the sole session she had with a Reiki "healer" who claimed she was well on her way to true love and eternal contentment--an assertion that's made all the more ludicrous when Sam loses her envy-inducing, Insta-ready life in a matter of weeks. But in the throes of Sam's sudden depression, a different realm appears--one in which her late grandfather shows up in her living room, archangels confront her on hiking trails, hot men with glowing auras flirt with her at Target, and a morally bankrupt man who died of alcoholism materializes in her most desperate moments. Is she losing her mind--or is she on the cusp of a radical personal revolution? She doesn't have much time to think about it, as a shamanic astrologer orders her to travel to several power spots around the globe, all of which are meant to take her farther away from the sinister influence of a group of unseen souls and closer to her genuine purpose on Earth--at least this time around. Described as "hugely entertaining" by New York Times bestselling author and contributor to The Secret Lisa Nichols--and "fun, witty, and provocative" by podcast prodigy/The School of Greatness's Lewis Howes--Girl Awakened is the first in a trilogy about spiritual awakening in the modern age. Tapping into the growing interest in divine communication, self-love, and life's hidden truths, the novel takes readers from the sultry streets of Atlanta to the towering pyramids of Egypt, proving along the way that magic and meaning are waiting for us just beneath the surface.What New York Times Bestselling Authors are saying about Girl Awakened:"Girl Awakened is a mystical story that's fresh, inventive and will linger with you long after you are finished reading. Spirit Junkies will relish this exciting new adventure and hunger for more.-#1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Super Attractor Gabby Bernstein "Fun, witty, and provocative! Girl Awakened will get you jazzed about life's bigger questions while taking you on an incredible ride."- New York Times Bestselling Author Lewis Howes "Soul-enhancing, life-affirming, and, most of all, hugely entertaining, Girl Awakened is as impossible to put down as it is to forget. Delivering the greatest spiritual messages through one of the most appealing protagonists in recent memory. Girl Awakened is destined to introduce a whole new genre of literature." -New York Times Bestselling Author Lisa Nichols

The Doomsday Calculation
Author: William Poundstone
Publisher: Little, Brown Spark
ISBN: 031644071X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
From the author of Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google?, a fascinating look at how an equation that foretells the future is transforming everything we know about life, business, and the universe. In the 18th century, the British minister and mathematician Thomas Bayes devised a theorem that allowed him to assign probabilities to events that had never happened before. It languished in obscurity for centuries until computers came along and made it easy to crunch the numbers. Now, as the foundation of big data, Bayes' formula has become a linchpin of the digital economy. But here's where things get really interesting: Bayes' theorem can also be used to lay odds on the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence; on whether we live in a Matrix-like counterfeit of reality; on the "many worlds" interpretation of quantum theory being correct; and on the biggest question of all: how long will humanity survive? The Doomsday Calculation tells how Silicon Valley's profitable formula became a controversial pivot of contemporary thought. Drawing on interviews with thought leaders around the globe, it's the story of a group of intellectual mavericks who are challenging what we thought we knew about our place in the universe. The Doomsday Calculation is compelling reading for anyone interested in our culture and its future.

Realizing Awakened Consciousness
Author: Richard P. Boyle
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231539231
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
If, as Buddhism claims, the potential for awakening exists in all human beings, we should be able to map the phenomenon with the same science we apply to other forms of consciousness. A student of cognitive social science and a Zen practitioner for more than forty years, Richard P. Boyle brings his sophisticated perspective to bear on the development of a theoretical model for both ordinary and awakened consciousness. Boyle conducts probing interviews with eleven prominent Western Buddhist teachers (Shinzen Young, John Tarrant, Ken McLeod, Ajahn Amaro, Martine Batchelor, Shaila Catherine, Gil Fronsdal, Stephen Batchelor, Pat Enkyo O'Hara, Bernie Glassman, and Joseph Goldstein) and one scientist (James Austin) who have experienced awakening. From the paths they traveled to enlightenment and their descriptions of the experience, he derives three fundamental properties of awakened consciousness. He then constructs an overarching model that explains how Buddhist practices help free the mind from attachments to reality and the self and make possible the three properties of awakening. Specifically, these teachers describe how they worked to control attention and quiet the mind, detach from ideas and habits, and open themselves to compassion. Boyle's account incorporates current theories of consciousness, sociological insights, and research in neuroscience to advance the study of awakened consciousness and help an even greater number of people to realize it.

Awakening the Kind Heart
Author: Kathleen McDonald
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0861719352
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Everyone appreciates kindness. A smile, a few friendly words, a show of concern when we're troubled or feeling unwell, an offer of help - gestures of kindness like these brighten our day and ease whatever sadness we may feel in our hearts. Feeling that "someone cares" fulfills a very deep need that we all have. And just as we appreciate other people being kind to us, others appreciate it when we are kind to them. That is why it is important to learn to be kind, because it will help make our relationships and interactions with others more satisfying and less problematic. But it's not always easy to be kind. Sometimes our hearts are filled with anger, jealousy, or pride, and being kind is the last thing we feel like doing. Or we get so caught up in our work and responsibilities that we find no time to think of others and their needs, no time to be kind and gentle. However, these problems can be remedied. The Buddhist tradition offers a wealth of methods that can be used to overcome whatever prevents us from being kind and gentle. Some of these methods are explored and explained in this book - in a way that will allow you to practice them in your daily life. Awakening the Kind Heart offers powerful and inviting meditation techniques to activate the heart of kindness within us all - a modern and motivating interpretation of traditional and powerful practices.
