The Quest for Enlightenment by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda Pdf

Then the Supreme Being, Krsna, revealed Himself, flooding Brahma's heart with transcendental knowledge. Passed down since Brahma's time through an unbroken chain of gurus and disciples, that same profound knowledge is ours in The Quest for Enlightenment.The author of Quest is His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, whom scholars and spiritual leaders worldwide recognize as the most distinguished teacher of Indian culture and philosophy of the modern age. With his spiritual lineage reaching back through Brahma to Sri Krsna, Srila Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to present the timeless Vedic teachings on yoga, meditation, reincarnation, and self-realization that have helped countless seekers in their search for ultimate peace and happiness

The Quest for Enlightenment by Finlay Brockett Pdf

Every year millions of people all over the world embark upon a spiritual quest, the quest for enlightenment and every year millions of people all over the world are instructed by others to follow a path by which one can become enlightened but there is no path to follow by which one can become enlightened.So, one does not look for a path to follow nor a system or method that will assure one of enlightenment. If something new is to be discovered there must be an understanding of the ways of the self. Understanding the self is not a matter of resolution but of awareness, meditation and attention. Only understanding alone can transcend the self and bring about a tranquil mind and the Truth that is enlightenment...1. Education 2. Discipline 3. Anxiety, annoyance and anger is suffering 4. Steps, systems, paths, roads and methods are all a form of postponement 5. Moving from negative thinking to positive thinking is moving towards an opposite that doesn't exist 6. The solution to the problem is not to have the problem in the first place 7. How do I learn about fear when fear is preventing me from learning about fear? 8. The biggest obstacle to learning and understanding is thought itself 9. Why do we judge, opinionate, compare and come to conclusions at a psychological level at all and of what value is it to us? 10. Very few of us observe our own thoughts and feelings 11. As long as we depend on thought as a means of integration there will always be isolation and disintegration 12. The search from one thought to another is not a search 13. Transformation within is only possible when you stop escaping into words 14. Freedom from the self 15. Understanding thought, understanding the self and understanding fear opens the prison doors 16. Does enlightenment come to one suddenly? 17. The quest for enlightenment

Persistent Echoes by Mark Urizar Pdf

Through series of short contemplations and detailed illustrations, this book presents the journey taken through the cycle to life. Each part of the story is revealed as an echo while seeking answers to age-old questions. Why are we here at this time? What is our purpose? How should we be experiencing life? Are we here to do something special? Is there purpose in our life path? Is it preordained, or are we left adrift? Are global problems we are facing a matter for those who care to resolve these, or are we all to participate and contribute? In reading and contemplating these, we gain clarity and an appreciation with understanding of our very personal and individual yet eternal undertaking to eventually become enabled to answer these by ourselves.

How to Attain Enlightenment by James Swartz Pdf

“Goes through the entire gamut of topics covered by the Vedas, making use of yoga, detachment, the ego, karma, dharma, love, meditation and much more.” —East and West Magazine This complete guide to enlightenment presents the wisdom of the ancient science of self-inquiry, a time-tested means for achieving spiritual freedom. The author discusses the purpose of self-inquiry, the quest for lasting happiness, issues of identity and transcendence, the role of wisdom and action, and the subconscious obstacles to freedom. He convincingly refutes the popular view that enlightenment is a unique state of consciousness and debunks a host of other enlightenment myths. In his straightforward style he reveals proven methods for purifying the mind, and includes chapters on love, the science of energy transformation and meditation. He takes the reader from the beginning to the end of the spiritual path, patiently unfolding the logic of self-inquiry. “Vedanta is the original systemized enlightenment teaching, and James does an extraordinary job of extracting the essential nectar of the teachings from its dusty, ancient, Sanskrit origins and elucidating it with utmost clarity. One review cannot do this teaching, with its rich history and depth, even a modicum of justice. James’s book is the best introduction there is to this subject.” —Consciousness Junkie “Explains methods of Vedanta in his survey of spiritual techniques, pairing theory with practice and explaining the myths and realities behind an enlightened state. From reflections on moving to a larger living space and clutter to assimilating experiences, How to Attain Enlightenment is a powerful survey any new age library needs.” —The Bookwatch

Holy Fire by Daniel Halpern Pdf

"Since the beginning of time, poets have been absorbed by the quest for signs that our lives have greater spiritual significance than the simple sum of our labors on earth. The deceptive simplicity of the Sufi poet Rumi's musings, Romantic poet William Blake's riveting map of heaven and hell, the self-destructive Arthur Rimbaud's thirst for the extremes of human experience, and the sometimes ecstatic, often heartrending Celtic vision of William Butler Yeats, among others, attest to this enduring poetic search." "In Holy Fire, editor Daniel Halpern has collected the work of nine poets whose writing has shaped our modern view of the sacred. William Blake, Hart Crane, William Butler Yeats, Rainer Maria Rilke, Arthur Rimbaud, and Allen Ginsberg are included here, as well as lesser-known but equally important writers, such as Jelaluddin Rumi, the fourteenth-century Kashmiri poet Lalla, and the sixteenth-century Hindu mystic Mirabai."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Enlightenment Quest and the Art of Happiness by John Maxwell Taylor Pdf

Award-winning actor and playwright John Maxwell Taylor builds on the success of his previous book, The Power of I Am, in this eloquent call to awaken from our collective trance and to claim the transformative power and happiness that is our birthright. Drawing on his forty years’ experience in spiritual self-transformation, Taylor offers a potent array of practical tools, stories, and life lessons that help us reorder the events in our lives, the way people respond to us, and the impact we have on the world. The Enlightenment Quest and the Art of Happiness shows us how to master ourselves so that we can harness the energy of higher power to surmount the chaos of the modern world and provides strategies for “sociological aikido” that allow us to deal effectively with negative people, narcissists, and egotists. Informed by Taylor’s incredibly varied background—from European pop star, to student of Paramahansa Yogananda, Gurdjieff, and Mantak Chia, to resident at the pioneering Findhorn Community, to playing Carl Jung on stage for many years—this book demonstrates how, by understanding the powers active in creation, we can become instruments through which higher power continually flows to advance our evolution toward consciousness. In doing so, we not only transform ourselves, we become powerful agents for changing the world. Readers learn how to: • Deal with negative people and egotists • Use higher power to redirect the world around one to one's own advantage • Stay sane in an insane world by understanding true spiritual psychology • See the world as it is instead of spiritually daydreaming that "things are going to get better" • Move beyond conspiracy theories and conspire instead to create a united world of consciousness • Gain fresh insights into the work of Campbell, Jung, Paramahansa Yogananda, Gurdjieff, and others • Apply the Findhorn principles of miraculous manifestation as practiced by the author since 1973

SIMPLY FREE - The End of your Spiritual Quest for Enlightenment - SATSANG by Oliver Bosshard Pdf

'Liberation is always closer than you think.' (Oliver Bosshard) Caution! 'SIMPLY FREE' is a dangerous book for Satsang and Non-Duality addicts because they could get cured from their addiction. This wonderful little book is a very special pearl in the Satsang ocean. It is an invitation to the spiritual seeker to pause for a moment and to accept the gift, that what they are looking for was, is and will always be right here. The author Oliver Bosshard lives in Winterthur in Switzerland. His Satsang is pure non-dualism without compromises and stands beyond religions, philosophies and beliefs. Oliver is not a guru. He is a silent companion who, with a portion of humour, accompanies all concepts of the searching person ad absurdum, till Nothing remains. This 'Nothing' is THAT which has always been longed for. It's the end of a journey which never began.

My Cosmic Quest by Paul Gavan Pdf

I learned from my spirit guides the Family of Light, that humanity is in this world but not of it. Speaking to me through a spiritual medium, the Family of Light described a veil of illusion that catches even those of us who know, prompting us to forget that there is a connection between ourselves and the divine and that, as human beings, we have the exalted charge to live in an awareness of that connection. With these words, Paul Gavan begins this account of his spiritual journey and of the communicationsthe teachings, observations, advice, and predictionsthat he has received from his spirit guides and the Family of Light. Working through a spiritual medium, Paul asked questions of these spirits who communicated to him from higher dimensional realms. Their answers, recounted in this book, were not just for Paul but for all of humanity, offering us guidance on how to raise our awareness as we enter a new era of collective enlightenment. Nonfiction.
