In Search of the Essence of Place
Author: Petr Kral
Publisher: Pushkin Press
ISBN: 1908968273
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Armed only with his poetic sensibility, Petr Král sets out to explore our relationship with the places that we inhabit, and with the apparently unremarkable everyday objects which often inform and enrich our lives. Král bears witness to Flaubert's observation that "in order for something to become interesting, we simply have to look at it for a long time". He reveals, not only the inner life-the very essence-of mundane objects and places, but also simple yet profound truths about ourselves.

Jasmine Green has always been unlucky in love. When she is dumped unceremoniously by text three years ago, she decides to only focus on friends, work, and law school and not necessarily in that order.

There is instant chemistry between them and they enjoy a no-strings attached, passion-filled weekend. While she is content to leave their weekend as a pleasant memory, Montana wants more and promises a future.

As time passes Jasmine is unable to forget Montana and when they meet again she is surprised to discover he still feels the same. She now must make a choice to remain in her comfortable world or explore a new one full of passion and romance where the stakes are higher than she has ever known.

Essence Seekers
Author: Urmila Best
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781987703467
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
"Stillness and silence had heralded the divine being. Now sounds again filled the forest as birds called, branches moved, and water ran over rocks. The being had simply vanished. Somehow the forest felt more alive than before, more full of mystery, yet it was also unchanged. Was that real?" Essence Seekers: A Quest Beyond the Forest of Enjoyment is an allegorical spiritual journey that takes us through practical, emotional, and psychological steps from a beginning curiosity and longing to enlightenment. It inspires with hope, while it aids with deep introspection and authenticity. Rooted in Eastern wisdom adapted from ancient texts, the universal and non-sectarian themes speak to any and all seekers of the essence of life. Avid starts out as part of a nomadic group, journeying with his family who seek wealth in the forest which they sell in villages and cities along their route. Their happiness and hopes for satisfaction are frustrated by perils representing various internal and external obstacles. Avid gets help from a mysterious guide in the forest and eventually joins with two friends on a quest for the essence, or nectar, of life. But what is that exactly? Will they overcome the diversions and tests to find it, and at what price? Essence Seekers is based on allegorical texts originally written in Sanskrit and Bengali, bringing those ancient metaphors to life and giving timeless wisdom and guidance to anyone looking for extraordinary fulfillment. Essence Seekers is a very good allegorical tale, full of deep meaning and beautiful descriptive passages. -Alfred Ford, philanthropist, great-grandson of Henry Ford Anyone who is a genuine seeker of life's highest truths will find Best's account of an avid soul's journey towards deep meaning and authenticity to be personally relatable and eternally profound. -Mpho MacChambers, Social Activist and Changemaker, Founder and Executive Director of Kula Education. Urmila's Essence Seekers is a masterful account of a journey-both inward and outward. We can identify with the characters and events, which foster in us detachment from the mundane and eagerness for the Divine. -Giriraj Swami, author of Many Moons and Watering the Seed Explore and learn and spare yourself from the common pitfalls of a spiritual journey. -Pranada Comtois, author of Wise-Love: Bhakti and the Search for the Soul of Consciousness. This book will leave a lasting impact on any teenager or adult who embarks on a journey through its pages. -Kosa Ely, author of The Peaceable Forest, The Prince and the Polestar, and The Jaguar's Story

In Search of Authenticity
Author: Jacob Golomb
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134812744
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Great philosophers such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Sartre have clearly been preoccupied by the possibility of authenticity. In this study, Jacob Golomb looks closely at the literature and writings of these philosophers in his analysis of their ethics. Golomb's writings shows his passionate commitment to the quest for the authenticity - particularly in our climate of post-modern scepticism. He argues that existentialism is all the more pertinent and relevant today when set against the general disillusionment which characterises the late twentieth century. This book is invaluable reading for those who have been fascinated by figures like Camus's Meursault, Sartre's Matthieu and Nietzsche's Zarathustra.
