The Mirror of Relationship
Author: J Krishnamurti
Publisher: Krishnamurti Foundation America
ISBN: 191287511X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 595
Book Description
The answer to the question, 'What are you Seeking?', is simple: We want to find truth, God, everlasting peace. The real question, says Krishnamurti, is: 'Why do you seek at all?' Knowing conflict, repression, self-doubt, and fear as consistent companions, we naturally wish for them to come to an end. So begins the search for relief, the search for everlasting peace--through ideas, religions, self-help, self-analysis, etc., and we think of this search as a right action towards finding what we are looking for. But do we know what we are looking for, or are we merely seeking relief from what is happening presently? Are we seeking at that point only an idea, the supposed opposite of the emotion that we are experiencing now? It is the search that maintains the present emotion and its projected opposite in a state of mutually co-existent conflict, inherently.

Cosmic Journal
Author: Yanik Silver
Publisher:
ISBN: 140195913X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
What if you found a mysterious Cosmic Journal that seemed like it was written just for you? Imagine being handed the 'Galactic Instruction Manual' you should have received at birth, filled with profound wisdom and inspirational messages to help you re-remember who you really are and what the heck you're doing here on this planet. The topics range from the practical to the mystical, including meditations on destiny, calls to find your highest purpose, and solid advice on building an evolved business. Journal prompts and exercises encourage you to write in the book to deepen your understanding of a topic and to reach out to your social network and share the information. The book can be read straight through, but each entry also stands alone so pages can be read at random. You can even use the book as an oracle! Simply hold your question or intention in mind, then flip to a page and read the message from the Universe there. Each page has been whimsically illustrated and hand-lettered by Yanik Silver.

Samādhi
Author: Mike Sayama
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438418760
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 636
Book Description
The key to self-development, says Mike Sayama, is the experience of Samadhi, a state of relaxed concentration in which the individual neither freezes out of fear nor clings due to desire. Simply stated, samadhi is the free flow of vital energy within the body and between the body and the universe. Moving effortlessly across traditions and techniques, Sayama discovers that sages throughout history—Greek philosophers, German mystics, Indian seers, and our own Albert Einstein among others—have taught that this experience of transcendental oneness lies at the heart of full self-realization. The first part of the book studies self-realization in Zen Buddhism. The author pinpoints its essence in Buddha's enlightenment. The development of Zen is then traced, continuing down to living masters who in very recent times have transplanted their lineages from Japan to the United States. Sayama notes that we must choose as masters those to whom the authentic teaching has been transmitted through generations, and he examines in loving detail the sometimes strange and astonishing behaviors of those whose very presence communicates the state of samadhi. The second part of the book presents Zen therapy, a way of self-development emphasizing the cultivation of samadhi through psychophysical training. Sayama compares the effects of Rolfing, Feldenkrais, and Zen therapy on the human body and mind. He includes easy-to-follow directions for creating the inner state he describes. He tells vivid stories of extraordinary cases treated from the point of view that the best therapy is nothing less than the removal of all dualism. Four main practices are presented: zazen (meditation), hara development, circulation of the vital energy, and communication.
