World's Oldest Boy Survives Earthquake, Tsunami, Death and More. On His Journey to Enlightenment Now that I've got your attention, this is not going to be a Chicken Soup for the Soul kind of book. Instead, it is a very real, down-and-dirty, lusty life chronicle that could very possibly change your life. I'd say this book is more like an Indiana Jones and the Temple of Dharma adventure.

Famous people claim it's the best buzz in the universe. Me? I've always liked a good buzz, so I figured enlightenment was for me, too. adventure. I might have been saved a scar or two.

This book probes a complex system through which logical and rational conclusions can be made concerning your purpose in this life and why you experience any and all things as you make the journey from birth to death and beyond. There is no longer any doubt that people in the world today are seeking solutions and answers as to why the world is experiencing so much distress and destruction. People are in awe of tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorism, tornadoes and their immensity at this time in history. Many individuals are worried about the existence of God and whether God is truly a force that can help them in the wake of these scary events taking place in the world. The Aryan Culture of Celestial Correspondences, which we call the Vedic Code of Science as revealed by the ancient sages, is an excellent tool to open doors to the future and provide the ultimate answers to all the questions that every individual or collective group may have. Unlike astrology or psychic guessing, reasonably intelligent people can understand the Vedic Code and, like mathematics, it works whenever it is applied and not when a superstitious application or interpretation is made. Hopefully in the next century, the Vedic Code, as presented in this book, will provide the most dramatic evidence that the trend of the world or of any individual can be anticipated in a direct way, so as to avoid disappointments and failure in life. No longer will there be a sense of insecurity and insignificance. People will be able to directly tell when something will happen in their life through the secrets of the Vedic Code of Science.
"A man was promised riches if he could swim three kilometers; he swam one and a half kilometers, got tired, and swam back. It takes the same amount of energy to retreat, so invest it in completion." Combining powerful concepts and principles from both theology and business, "So You Want to Be the Master?" delivers tools and techniques for taking control of your inner thoughts and outward actions so that you can navigate today's complicated society with confidence and ease. Joshua Maponga takes an in-depth philosophical yet practical approach to ten guiding values: privacy, effort, development, action, self-esteem, sympathy, situations, service, joy, and direction. He offers insight into each value, how society has corrupted it, and how you can use it to recover yourself and succeed in your own life with relationships and in business. Asserting that "how you believe is how you behave," Maponga shows you how faith-no matter what religion you follow-directly impacts your morality and your ability to deal ethically and effectively with modern issues. Weaving theological wisdom with common-sense advice and exercises, this inspirational guide will help you master the art of registering your existence, leaving your footprint, and impacting the world.
Dr. Tobe Momah addresses two of the most important issues facing the body of Christ today in his book Fear No Evil. Evil abounds all around us, attempting to hold us paralyzed in fear. The antidote is the fear of the Lord: A holiness that abhors that which is evil and cleaves to that which is good Dr. Momah draws on his own personal experiences and the wisdom of God's Word to provide insight into the two kinds of fear that exists and how they affect our lives. Fear No Evil puts both fear and evil in their place, leaving the reader fearless in the face of sin and secure in the fear of the Lord. Jeff Ables Lead Pastor Crossroads Church Lafayette, LA

To understand the content of Therapy Dialogue and how the process of therapy worked for the person whose therapy is documented here, one needs to become familiar with the concept of self-actualization. This concept has been explained in Roya R. Rad's other book, Rumi & Self Psychology (Psychology of Tranquility), and the reader will find some of the same subjects repeated here. This client's goal was to become self-actualized, and to be purified of the heavy and harmful baggage she had carried with her throughout her life; the baggage of negative emotions, thoughts, blockages, and unattended needs. We will refer to Maslow's pyramid for the concept of self-actualization. This pyramid can help explain human motivation and personal development in life. Humans have both physical and emotional needs and are motivated by satisfying these needs in life. Our most basic needs are inborn and have evolved over many years. It is only when the lower needs of physical and emotional well-being are satisfied or compensated that we are able to take care of the higher ones. |
