Book Description
The main aim of this book is to act as a stand-alone guide to Awakening; which is synonymous with Enlightenment when maintained. The title comes from an internet discussion about Enlightenment, and my own conviction that it is available to all who truly want it and are prepared to investigate with an open mind. This book is composed of articles, resulting from my further investigations (and contemplations) into the nature of Reality. The thrust of the book is that beneath the surface appearance of thoughts (including all mental activity) and sensations there is a deeper level of being, which is the perceiver of these. The former are a flow of fleeting objects whereas the latter, which is the Awareness of these, is a constant conscious subjective presence. This is the only constant that has been (with) you since you were born and that which has witnessed your entire life. So this is what you actually are rather than the ever changing body/mind in which these thoughts and sensations have occurred.

The Lifework Principle
Author: Rick Sarkisian
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 9780974396279
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Many people live as if life were just a series of disconnected events, containing no real meaning and offering no real fulfillment. But you can find satisfaction in life -- if you're willing to change your perspective and take action. That's what this book is designed to help you do! In these pages, you'll learn to live a deeper, richer, more rewarding life. Not a life of random events, occurring to seemingly- disconnected people, but a life in which you are deeply important and involved. A life that will give you joy, meaning and purpose -- every moment of every day. The LifeWork Principle is an action-oriented approach, not another "pie-in-the-sky" theory. Somehow you know instinctively that there's more to life than just your physical existence. But how do you discover it? How can you fill that gnawing emptiness inside? How can you move from listlessness and confusion to joy and satisfaction? This book will point you in the right direction. The LifeWork Principle will help you develop a new perspective on life, and show you how to live each week, each day - each hour! - to its fullest. You'll start to see your life as a unique and unrepeatable role created just for you. And you'll begin to experience true joy, real fulfillment and deep satisfaction like you never thought was possible.

Eternity's Handmaiden
Author: R. Peter Ubtrent
Publisher: LULU BOOKS
ISBN: 097449917X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 587
Book Description
Eternity's Handmaiden is a fast paced espionage thriller taking the reader from one end of the timeline to another. No one ever escapes The Agency. Tuesday, 6 August 2085 1500 Archangel Her frowned deepened as she erased the message and then all traces that it had even made it to her. It was what she had feared: a rendezvous. They would be by this afternoon to pick her up, take her away from her pristine Alaskan solitude and into a world that she had sworn off of. Or so she had thought. She quickly learned long ago, much to her dismay, that one ever left the agency. Its insidious fingers, like the very talons of death, were always there, ready at any moment to pounce and dig themselves in, dragging one back into a world of intrigue and treachery, death and foulness that filled her mouth with such a taste of shit that she almost gagged. When she had left fifteen years ago, after forty years of faithful service, she had made it clear that she was done with it all, finished with walking in the shadows and killing in the darkness. But they had had other plans.

Walden Pond
Author: W. Barksdale Maynard
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190290668
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
Perhaps no other natural setting has as much literary, spiritual, and environmental significance for Americans as Walden Pond. Some 700,000 people visit the pond annually, and countless others journey to Walden in their mind, to contemplate the man who lived there and what the place means to us today. Here is the first history of the Massachusetts pond Thoreau made famous 150 years ago. W. Barksdale Maynard offers a lively and comprehensive account of Walden Pond from the early nineteenth century to the present. From Thoreau's first visit at age 4 in 1821--"That woodland vision for a long time made the drapery of my dreams"--to today's efforts both to conserve the pond and allow public access, Maynard captures Walden Pond's history and the role it has played in social, cultural, literary, and environmental movements in America. Along the way Maynard details the geography of the pond; Thoreau's and Emerson's experiences of Walden over their lifetimes; the development of the cult of Thoreau and the growth of the pond as a site of literary and spiritual pilgrimages; rock star Don Henley's Walden Woods Project and the much publicized battle to protect the pond from developers in the 1980s; and the vitally important ecological symbol Walden Pond has become today. Exhaustively researched, vividly written, and illustrated with historical photographs and the most detailed maps of Thoreau country yet created, Walden Pond: A History reveals how an ordinary pond has come to be such an extraordinarily inspiring symbol.
