Transcendental Guru

by Paramhansa Ganesh Giri e Raymond Pattison

0,99€ + 10% CARD

 The word Guru is easy to explain.Gu means darkness and Ru means light.So Guru means going from darkness to light and therefore whenever you tune into the teachers around you, you are moving from darkness into lightMaybe, it's just a bit of learning about how to do something, but it's still a bit of a spiritual process.However if you want to be Transcendental and engage with the Guru process in depth, then we're talking about another dimension, or another planet.The reason is that moving from light to dark means actually very little in terms of Life and the Universe.In our Life and the Universe we have dark matter and light matter. So, we have a life as we experience it comprised of darkness and light, as the nature of things.That's not to say we shouldn't go towards the light, just because there is plenty of choices around going to the dark side or going to the light side.I was born Raymond Pattison and became a holy man in India aged 18. I became Ganesh Giri with a title of - Paramahamsa. I lived in India for 10 years. Then I got bored of the emptiness and wanted to enjoy life's attractions. Hence a "fall back to earth". To a life of living in the ego based mode of seeking fulfillment through experience via desire fulfillment. (Not totally, as I did become a mental health professional with a view to helping others). Not a waste though, just part of the learning journey. I was not ready for monastic life, for the rest of my life. I was full of desire, or maybe had a lot of unfinished business, and I could see how much was desire driven. There was of course delusion, as my "followers" in India would say that I had fallen back into Maya, accepting that the world was real, and not the life is an illusory view or experience that I had promoted as a monk in India.Now I am back to place where nothing gives me the same pleasure as far as sense enjoyment is concerned, as I re-experience Life and the Universe now as what is in Truth. It is Maya, but there are other ways of seeing this, by entering the state of Enlightenment or Realization. Specifically when in Practical Enlightenment or Realistic Realization does it all make sense, and Maya is no longer just some obstacle on the spiritual pathway. This is where also the matters of friends and family and society socializing do not hold me back from seeing the truth of all earthly attachment. This is a transition time, and thus could be confusing, whilst seemingly straddling the two identities born of England and India. However I am rising into the level eight domain, and going to the Transcendental beyond, as explained in this book, There is then also a "how to" teaching component involved herein.

Not Everything Is Visible - The Secret Of The Neighbors

by Lancar Ida-Bagus

6,35€ + 10% CARD

 "I can often perceive when someone is experiencing mental suffering or physical pain." However, there is a frequent misconception about this ability because not everything is always visible. For instance, physical damage, which is rarely apparent in cases of mental abuse. This aspect bears a resemblance to the secrets kept by neighbors, but nothing could be further from the truth. Another form of mental abuse is often found in close proximity. Consider, for example, the religious manipulation exerted by parents on children, which can take quite extreme forms. In such cases, the sense of self-worth and self-esteem is cunningly and premeditatedly undermined at an early stage by the elders, following a predetermined religious pedagogical pattern. This pedagogical concept is then integrated into the context of education, suggesting that it is beneficial for someone's personal development and well-being to navigate life without encountering problems.

Ask The Awakened - The Negative Way

by Wei Wu Wei

14,79€ + 10% CARD

 Between the years 1958 and 1974 a series of books appeared that were attributed to the mysterious Wei Wu Wei. Perhaps the most important of these works, Ask The Awakened, is now available in a new edition. This work draws on a variety of sources, including Taoism--specifically the texts attributed to Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu; Buddhism--especially the Heart, Diamond and Lankavatara sutras; and Chan Buddhism as taught by Hui Neng, Huang Po, Hui Hai, etc.; as well as the teachings of Padmasambhava and Sri Ramana Maharshi, among others. Wei Wu Wei joins Paul Reps, Alan Watts, and Philip Kapleau as one of the earliest and most profound interpreters of Zen Buddhism and Taoist philosophies. The depth of understanding evidenced in Ask the Awakened places it in the top tier of modern spiritual classics. This classic gem of Eastern spirituality is especially timely in the current climate of interest in Buddhism. Wei Wu Wei's unique and fresh interpretation of the ancient teachings opens the reader's eyes: "Why are you unhappy? Because 99.9 per cent of everything you think, and of everything you do, is for yourself--and there isn't one." This powerful book rewards by exposing illusions, and takes the reader beyond logic to the inexpressible truth of existence.

Fear, Heterodoxy, And Crime In Traditional China - Toward An Anthropological History Of Emotion And Its Social Management

~~184,18€~~ 165,76€ 10% OFF

 This multi-contributor volume examines the evolving relationship between fear, heterodoxy and crime in traditional China. It throws light on how these three variously interwoven elements shaped local policies and people's perceptions of the religious, ethnic, and cultural "other." Authors depart from the assumption that "otherness" is constructed, stereotyped and formalized within the moral, political and legal institutions of Chinese society. The capacity of their findings to address questions about the emotional dimension of mass mobilization, the socio-political implications of heterodoxy, and attributions of crime is the result of integrating multiple sources of knowledge from history, religious studies and social science. Contributors are Agnes Birtalan, Ayumu Doi, Fabian Graham, Hung Tak Wai, Jing Li, Hang Lin, Tommaso Previato, and Noriko Unno.

Light And The Darkness - Studies In Manichaeism And Its World

286,20€ + 10% CARD

 This is the second volume of scholarly studies in Manichaeism which were originally presented before the Manichaean Studies Group of the Society of Biblical Literature from 1997 through 1999. Like its predecessor, Emerging from Darkness: Studies in the Recovery of Manichaean Sources (Brill, 1997), this volume presents the latest international scholarship from leading researchers in the growing field of Manichaean studies. Here the researchers move from the continuing foundational work of recovering Manichaean sources to the necessary task of understanding the relationship of Manichaeans to the larger world in which they lived. That relationship took several distinct forms, and the contributions in this book analyze those forms, examining the relationship of Manichaeism with diverse cultural, social and religious traditions.

Emerging From Darkness - Studies In The Recovery Of Manichaean Sources

433,28€ + 10% CARD

 Modern interpretation of the Manichaean religious tradition requires a firm foundation in the sober and meticulous reconstruction of highly fragmentary sources. The studies collected in this volume contribute to such a foundation by bringing new primary texts to the public for the first time, extracting new data from previously known sources, and defining and delimiting important but previously neglected sets of material. The studies are authored by an international group of leading scholars in the fields of ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern studies, comparative religion, early Christianity, patristics, art history, Turkic studies and Coptology. The textual and art historical materials examined possess distinctive histories, character and significance representing the broad geographical range of Manichaeism from Algeria to China. By elucidating these essential remains of the Manichaean religion, the comprehensive treatments contained in Emerging from Darkness provide a provocative picture of Manichaeism as a diverse and productive tradition in a variety of settings and media. The volume will be foundational for future scholarly studies on the sources presented and for studies in Manichaeism and late antique religions in general.

Handbook Of Scientology

 The Handbook of Scientology brings together a collection of fresh studies of the most persistently controversial of all contemporary New Religions. In recent years, increasing scholarly attention has been directed at the Church of Scientology, resulting in a small tsunami of new scholarship.

Thus, for example, the historical chapters in the present volume are not really aimed at providing elementary facts on Scientology's background, but, rather, focus on understanding how the Church of Scientology developed over the years. In short, the Handbook of Scientology will provide a wealth of new information on a topic that one might otherwise have thought exhausted.

Yoga Powers - Extraordinary Capacities Attained Through Meditation And Concentration

 A neglected topic in the research on yoga and meditation traditions, the extraordinary capacities called yoga powers are at the core of the religious imagination in the history of religions in South Asia. Yoga powers explained the divine, the highest gods were thought of as great yogins, and since major religious traditions considered their attainment as an inevitable part of the salvific process the textual traditions had to provide rational analyses of the powers.

Natural Religion - A None’S Journey Of Religious Discovery

by Davis Baird

~~49,03€~~ 44,13€ 10% OFF

 Davis Baird''s grandfather, Earl Clement Davis (1876-1953), was a Unitarian minister from 1905 to 1953. Baird was born a year after his grandfather died and never knew him. But he inherited a trunk of his manuscripts. He grew up without any religion; today he would be called a none--one with no religious affiliation or church membership. This book shares his discovery of his grandfather''s approach to religion. His grandfather denied any supernatural sources for, or elements of, religion; he was an enthusiastic advocate for science. He vigorously argued against all authoritarian forms of governance--religious and civil. He believed in human divinity, the power of humans to develop and pursue ideals of truth, beauty, and goodness to make the world better. The living God for his grandfather was a God that lives in humans--has lived in humans for millennia--striving to create a reality of truth, beauty, and goodness, of justice for all, of a heaven on earth. This is what Baird calls natural religion.
