Book Description
"Radically Condensed Instructions for Being Just as You Are" is perfect for anyone who is curious about nonduality's impact on life as it is lived every day. How can the philosophy of nonduality change how we experience our lives? "Radically Condensed Instructions" helps us integrate nonduality's basic theory - that nothing truly exists outside of the 'here and now' - with the practice of present-moment awareness or "being here, now!" 'Being in the present moment' may sound like redundant nonsense from a purely philosophical point-of-view. However, when we thoroughly understand that present-moment awareness is all there is, we are able to 'be here now' with renewed appreciation and clarity. We can make an uncompromising commitment to the present moment without the distractions of distorted thinking, artificial comparisons and impossible ideals. "Radically Condensed Instructions" can save you a lot of time and wheel-spinning! In what can sometimes seem to be a maze of nondual/spiritual literature, J Jennifer Matthews speaks from a well-read, broad-based background on the subject." -- Peter Francis Dziuban, author of "Consciousness is All: Now Life is Completely New."

Teach Yourself to Live

ISBN: 1473664039
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 192

Book Description
Teach Yourself To Live is a self-help classic from a very distant age. Then, as now, the self-help world was dominated by energetic Americans preaching the secrets of limitless achievement. But from the off this delightfully dry, wise and pragmatic book offers something quite different - a sober, somewhat stern, but ultimately generous guide to living in a world blighted by modernity and taxes. Nostalgic, funny and charming, this book somewhat bad-temperedly insists the reader not get ideas above his or her station - yet it ends up delivering a bracing, empowering guide to knowing yourself and living well (despite it all). Oliver Burkeman called this book "a place of stability and solid ground amid the rushing omnibuses". Full of fascinating and unexpected revelations, Teach Yourself To Live flips self-help on its head and provides a marvellous insight into the way we used to feel about life and how to live it. Since 1938, millions of people have learned to do the things they love with Teach Yourself. Welcome to the how-to guides that changed the modern world.

Book Description
Enlightened teachers insist enlightenment isn't about finding the solution to a complicated problem.They say it's just a matter of acknowledging the obvious. When these teachers experience their great realizations, they smile.They smile at the conspicuous nature of their discoveries, as if the truth is hidden in plain sight. And they smile at the ridiculous nature of their previous search. What did these teachers discover?This book tries to answer this question as simply as possible, insofar as the answer can be put into words.

Four Thousand Weeks

Author: Oliver Burkeman

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 140

Book Description
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Provocative and appealing . . . well worth your extremely limited time." —Barbara Spindel, The Wall Street Journal The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks. Nobody needs telling there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and “life hacks” to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks. Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern fixation on “getting everything done,” Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how many of the unhelpful ways we’ve come to think about time aren’t inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we’ve made as individuals and as a society—and that we could do things differently.

Book Description
Have you ever wondered when you will "get it?" Enlightenment, that is. You've read spiritual books and you've visited enlightened teachers. Enlightened teachers aren't trying to convey information, though, so in a way there is nothing to "get." These teachers are trying to convey a feeling. You don't puzzle out a feeling - you catch its vibe or you get on its wavelength.You can't think your way to this state, but you can find it in the same way that people who are good at finding four-leaf clovers find a four-leaf clover - by trusting it's there.This book explores the experience of resting in Love - the essence of your open heart. You can rest in love in every moment and you don't have to solve your problems first! This practice is the nature of enlightenment itself and it will radically transform your life.

From Self to Self

Author: Leo Hartong
Publisher: New Harbinger Publications
ISBN: 1626257361
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 151

Book Description
A compilation of expressions, questions and answers that came about in response to Leo's highly praised first book Awakening to the Dream. Leo writes with characteristic insight and uses metaphor to illuminate the paradoxical and apparently confusing nature of non-dual reality. His original writing is reinforced by a vast knowledge of non-duality in other spiritual traditions and he weaves these together with his own direct path to present clear pointers to contemporary seekers. An appropriately chosen quotation taken from various sources appears at the end of each short chapter. Also included at the end of the book is the full text of the Hsin-hsin Ming by the third Chan patriarch Seng-ts'an. “The words in this book repeatedly point to the essence which knows the reading as it takes place. Rather than an encouragement to follow a lengthy path, it is an invitation to step off the path. It does not point to 'your' awareness, but to Awareness itself in which the idea of 'you' appears. It does not point to 'your' beingness, but to the undeniable Beingness that appears as you.”

Being

Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 120

Book Description
'Spiritual' dialogues usually aim to guide the seeker towards enlightenment, towards escape from identification as a suffering individual. In Being: The Bottom Line, however, Nathan Gill points out that 'enlightenment' only appears significant from the viewpoint of 'me' - it's only the story of 'me' that requires enlightenment. Your true nature is Being, and Being is already all that is (even when there is seeming ignorance of that), with no requirements whatsoever.
