Unfortunately, very few people these days talk about real values in
life. What we stand for in life, and are we living up to these
values are worth pondering. Are our aspirations in tune with the
real purpose of life? It is the values that remind us often what to
aspire in life. Most people value life and its achievements from
the perspective of wealth and richness, but do not recognize trust,
honesty, and contentment as forward looking attributes that help in
overall satisfaction. Giving importance to external growth leaving
behind inner development often leads to unbalance in life devoid of
overall satisfaction. Much of the troubles in this world are that
true values of life have narrowed down, skewed, ignored and
misunderstood. This book deliberates different aspects of life in
terms of personal, moral, spiritual, family and social values and
how these can enrich life and fill its purpose. A wide range of
topics include How to live an easier life; Thoughts on simplifying
life; Virtues of Integrity; Mistakes we generally make; Control on
impulsive mind; Being Successful in life; Benefits from silence;
Communication with inner self; Creating love for others; How to
think positive; How moral values get reinforced; Belief in natural
justice; What is spirituality; Understanding self; How to find God;
What does death mean to us; Good family values; Being part of whole
universe; Universal brotherhood; Towards developing good values.
Attempt has been made to describe large issues that are outcome of
misdirected value system, and how best a person can move ahead in
life by focusing on core values. The idea of writing this book is
to facilitate readers to pause and think about what they aspire,
and are these aspirations in tandem with broad purpose in life.
Richard Ingalese's lectures on the human mind, and its interactions
with supernatural phenomena and lore, together form a classic work
of occult guidance. Writing at the opening of the 20th century; a
time when occultism underwent significant popularity, Richard
Ingalese concentrates on topics which pertain directly to the human
mind. Its capacity to interpret and affect the world around it,
including realms unseen, is the central theme of this book, which
acts as a superb introduction to the myriad occult phenomena in our
lives. Use of what Ingalese terms the 'divine mind' is the way in
which followers of the occult gain experience and knowledge of
things beyond ordinary perception. Yet closeness with the Supreme
Power is not a simple matter of mere contemplation; there are
certain conditions of temperament and behavior that prepare a
person for knowledge. Ingalese advocates calm introspection,
self-control, and a harnessing of emotions which can distract from
attainment.
In her book she ties to share psychic truths in simple stories
about a group of kids in the Karma Klub. She presents the
experiences she's had and read about in an interesting group of
books; book one gives the reader a cast of characters who's lives
intertwine through history and experiences together, that weave a
story of friendship, suspense, love and psychic truths that stand
the tests of time.
The Witness of the Stars stands as one of the best explanations of
the constellations in the context of Biblical wisdom. This edition
includes all of E. W. Bullinger's original charts and illustrations
of the heavens above. To compose this book, E. W. Bullinger used
his Biblical scholarship alongside research of the origins of the
astronomical constellations. He demonstrates, through a close
reading of the Old and New Testaments, how each of the star signs
relates to the Bible's stories. Gradually, it is revealed how God
makes himself known to us through the Bible's astronomy. The
symbolism of the star signs are shown as important in the Bible.
Their presence in verse relates not simply to their appearances,
such as Libra's scales or Aries as a ram, but also the way in which
Biblical figures behave after looking at the heavens for guidance.
The Book of Job is highlighted by Bullinger for being significantly
influenced by the stars.
The Heart is the meeting place of the individual and the divine,
the inner ground of morality, authenticity, and integrity. The
process of coming to the Heart and of realizing the person we were
meant to be is what Carl Jung called 'Individuation'. This path is
full of moral challenges for anyone with the courage to take it.
Using Jung's premise that the main causes of psychological problems
are conflicts of conscience, Christina Becker takes the reader
through the philosophical and spiritual aspects of the ethical
dimensions of this individual journey toward wholeness. This book
is a long overdue and unique contribution to the link between
individuation and ethics. Christina Becker, M.B.A. is a
Zurich-trained Jungian Analyst in private practice in Toronto,
Ontario Canada.
