The Beginning of Everything (9780062217141)

Robyn Schneider's The Beginning of Everything is a witty and heart-wrenching teen novel that will appeal to fans of books by John Green and Ned Vizzini, novels such as The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and classics like The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye. Varsity tennis captain Ezra Faulkner was supposed to be homecoming king, but that was before--before his girlfriend cheated on him, before a car accident shattered his leg, and before he fell in love with unpredictable new girl Cassidy Thorpe. As Kirkus said in a starred review, Schneider takes familiar stereotypes and infuses them with plenty of depth. Here are teens who could easily trade barbs and double entendres with the characters that fill John Green's novels. Funny, smart, and including everything from flash mobs to blanket forts to a poodle who just might be the reincarnation of Jay Gatsby, The Beginning of Everything is a refreshing contemporary twist on the classic coming-of-age novel--a heart-wrenching sto...

Sri Swami Vishwananda, an enlightened spiritual master from the island of Mauritius, provides a commentary on the Sri Guru Gita, which is a discussion between Lord Shankar and Parvati, wherein Goddess Parvati asks Shiva, "Who do you consider the greatest on Earth?" Lord Shiva explains that the greatest form on Earth is the form of the Master. Sri Swami Vishwananda provides a simple yet powerful commentary on the meaning of each verse of the Sri Guru Gita. Drawing from both Eastern and Western traditions, he provides practical insights on how to apply these ancient teachings in one's everyday life. He makes the connection between God, Love and the Guru and artfully shares how to obtain the Grace of the divine. God is Love. God is Everything. God is Guru. The Guru is not of this world, even though He created it and we won't be able to leave this world of limitation without Him. To succeed we need His Grace. We will obtain it by knowing Him intimately in the depth of ou...

The Nature of Consciousness : Essays on the Unity of Mind and Matter (9781684030002)

Our world culture is founded on the assumption that the Big Bang gave rise to matter, which in time evolved into the world, into which the body was born, inside which a brain appeared, out of which consciousness at some late stage developed. As a result of this "matter model," most of us believe that consciousness is a property of the body. We feel that it is "I," this body, that knows or is aware of the world. We believe and feel that the knowing with which we are aware of our experience is located in and shares the limits and destiny of the body. This is the fundamental presumption of mind and matter that underpins almost all our thoughts and feelings and is expressed in our activities and relationships. The Nature of Consciousness suggests that the matter model has outlived its function and is now destroying the very values it once sought to promote. For many people, the debate as to the ultimate reality of the universe is an academic one, far removed from the co...
