Book Description
These past two decades, modern technology has brought into being scores of powerful challenges to our interior peace and well-being. We’re experiencing a worldwide crisis of attention in which information overwhelms us, corrodes true communion with others, and leaves us anxious, unsettled, bored, isolated, and lonely. These pages provide the time-tested antidote that enables you to regain an ordered and peaceful mind in a technologically advanced world. Drawing on the wisdom of the world’s greatest thinkers, including Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, and St. Thomas Aquinas, these pages help you identify – and show you how to cultivate – the qualities of character you need to survive in our media-saturated environment. This book offers a calm, measured, yet forthright and effective approach to regaining interior peace. Here you’ll find no argument for retreat from the modern world; instead these pages provide you with a practical guide to recovering self-mastery and interior peace through wise choices and ordered activity in the midst of the world’s communication chaos. Are you increasingly frustrated and perplexed in this digital age? Do you yearn for a mind that is more focused and a soul able to put down that IPhone and simply rejoice in the good and the true? It’s not hard to do. The saints and the wise can show you how; this book makes their counsel available to you.

Written in the fourteenth century, this text is the first part to Longchenpa's Trilogy of Rest, a work of the esoteric Tibetan Dzogchen tradition. This unique presentation of the Buddhist view and path combines the scholastic expository method of explanation with direct pith instructions designed for yogi practitioners. Here we find fundamental instructions on the need to turn away from materialism, how to find a qualified guide, how to develop boundless compassion for all beings, and much more. Longchenpa then carries the reader through to the view of tantra and its associated practices in chapter ten. Chapters eleven and twelve explore calm abiding (shamatha) and deep insight (vipashyana) meditation techniques. The work culminates with chapter thirteen, the final chapter, in which the result of practice is presented from the perspective of Dzogchen.

Healing Dis-Ease in the Mind of Christ
Author: Maitreya ChristosPublisher:
ISBN: 9780473447236
Category : Healing
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
HE WHO IS SICK is not fully in the Mind of Christ-for in Christ there is no sickness. A sick mind is a 'separated mind', which functions "separately from" the Mind of Christ. It is in this human form we are given the opportunity to rise above sickness, by "letting this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." [Philippians 2:5]. Know the Mind of Christ casts out all sickness, which is why the prophet Isaiah says of Christ-"He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses." [Matthew 8:17]. Beloveds, sickness in the mind-body-spirit is a clear sign we have strayed from the Mind of Christ, even if we profess with our lips to follow Christ-somewhere in spirit we are not following His way. In this book we will review the spoken Word of Jesus Christ and the 217 snares of a separated mind that lead us into sickness. Here we are reminded to "Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction." [Psalm 103:2]
