You Are the World

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
"I am the divine emptiness from which the first thought appears. Through it all things are revealed. I am the one feeling out of which all feelings are revealed. Do not lose yourself in the apparent variety of manifestation, for I alone am the one great unity, beyond which nothing exists." Who speaks these words? No ‘I’ as we know it. The Swiss author and spiritual teacher Mario Mantese expresses from the source beyond space and time. His aphorisms are glimmering pearls of love, and their radiance guides the soul directly to the Self. "Why are you afraid to recognize your true Self, and to be? Awaken in me, Beloved! I am absolute presence and supreme wisdom. Truly, I am you and you are me."

The Serpent and the Fire
Author: Jerome Rothenberg
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520972759
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 813
Book Description
Jerome Rothenberg’s final anthology—an experiment in omnipoetics with Javier Taboada—reaches into the deepest origins of the Americas, north and south, to redefine America and its poetries The Serpent and the Fire breaks out of deeply entrenched models that limit “American” literature to work written in English within the present boundaries of the United States. Editors Jerome Rothenberg and Javier Taboada gather vital pieces from all parts of the Western Hemisphere and the breadth of European and Indigenous languages within: a unique range of cultures and languages going back several millennia, an experiment in what the editors call an American “omnipoetics.” The Serpent and the Fire is divided into four chronological sections—from early pre-Columbian times to the immediately contemporary—and five thematic sections that move freely across languages and shifting geographical boundaries to underscore the complexities, conflicts, contradictions, and continuities of the poetry of the Americas. The book also boasts contextualizing commentaries to connect the poets and poems in dialogue across time and space.

There's a set of books which you're just supposed to know about, at least if you live in The West and fancy the idea of being thought 'educated'.

The Complete Works of W.R. Bion
Author: W. R. Bion
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000566811
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
A figurative and free-ranging psychoanalytic novel was not something Bion would have felt free to write and – more to the point – to publish had he and his wife, Francesca, not moved to Los Angeles, which they did in 1968. Once there, Bion set about adjusting to the new culture, establishing links with the analysts who had invited him, and setting up an analytic practice. He also began work on a book, which he called The Dream, published in 1975. Two years later he added The Past Pre-sented, and in 1979 – with the addition of The Dawn of Oblivion – the novel had become a trilogy. In 1991, at the instigation of Francesca Bion, the three were finally published in one volume, with corrections, together with an enlarged version of A Key to A Memoir of the Future, which had first been published in 1981. Francesca Bion has described the Memoir asa fictionalised, dramatised presentation of a lifetime’s experiences, filled with a crowd of character; voicing the many facets of his own personality and thought; at the same time we recognise ourselves among the dramatis personae.
