Lust isn't the only driving force behind this book--also factoring in are rage, regret, humiliation, longing, affection, and an appreciation of the folly of existence--but it plays the biggest role. In largely rhyming, rythmic verse, the author narrates a series of erotic vignettes that, while arousing, are always more than a little literary. And his forays into other subject matter sometimes even get serious. Each poem features an illustrated cover page; much of the artwork is original and is itself worth much more than a passing glance.

This book is sure to intrigue the serious student of the paranormal.

Internationally acclaimed and Pulitzer Prize nominated author Michael A. Allen, takes you on a journey into the recesses of your soul and explores the ontological question, "What is our underlying essence?" Mr. Allen uses the metaphor of the sea, and its ebb and flow, to describe the Tao of life's cycle. And he discovers within this unique reflection a new way to comfort and heal the Self from the trauma of death.

His long time interest in film brought him to write the screenplay adaptation with his brother in law Alex Carig in order to make "Tao of Surfing" into a full-length feature motion picture. Mr. Allen was initially inspired to write "Tao of Surfing" after his brother-his surfing partner-died from the complication of AIDS.

In the shadows of post 9-11 world-one in which the words terror, war, and calamity are a part of our daily vocabulary-one question looms larger than life: Is peace possible?

Dieser Nachdruck der Ausgabe von 1982 mit einem Vorwort von Frater V.. D.. beschreibt den Aufbau des kabbalistischen Lebensbaumes und die damals vom Autor entdeckte Mglichkeit, alle Dinge in dieser Welt entsprechend der Struktur des Lebensbaumes zu gliedern und zu beschreiben. Dies gilt fr einen Staubsauger und das klassische Ballett genauso wie fr einen Einzeller und die Vektormathematik. Durch diese immer gleiche Struktur in allen Dingen lernt man den grundlegenden Aufbau der Welt kennen, den immer gleichen Bauplan. Dadurch, da man diesen Bauplan berall wiederfindet, wird diese grundlegende Struktur immer deutlicher. Daraus entsteht dann eine Tiefe des Verstndnisses, die die endlosen Details des Wissens zu einem einheitlichen Weltbild zusammenwachsen lt, in dem man auch selber seinen Platz wiederfindet. Der Lebensbaum ist das ideale Mittel zum Lschen des Wissensdurstes, da durch seine Benutzung Tiefe entsteht und nicht immer nur neue Fragen. Der Lebensbaum benutzt nicht die bliche Kausallogik, sondern die Analogie, um Dinge zu begreifen. Dadurch entstehen nicht die bei der Kausallogik blichen zeitlichen Entwicklungslinien, sondern durch die Verknpfung dieser Linien komplexe Muster, in denen sich zeigt, wie welche Dinge zusammenhngen. Der Lebensbaum ist die Logik des Vergleichens, der Gleichnisse, der Analogie und der parallelen Strukturen. Auf diesen Entsprechungen zwischen allen Dingen beruhen unter anderem auch die Magie, die Astrologie und alle Orakel, die letztlich alle die Parallelentwicklung zwischen sich entsprechenden Dingen beschreiben. 2008 hat der Autor eine sehr viel ausfhrlichere dreibndige Darstellung zu diesem Thema herausgegeben: Blten des Lebensbaumes.

It’s like meditation with a pen—with the colors set down you begin to make lines, lines that calm you, lines that inspire you, lines that absorb you, until the world, and your thoughts, fall away and all that’s left is a perfect flow of attention and concentration. It hardly matters what you make. It’s the act of making that liberates you from distraction and busyness. Each of the first two Reverse Coloring books—with over 205,000 copies in print in just a year—frees the imagination and encourages the user to be calm and creative. But Mindful Journeys takes it one step further with 50 new and original watercolors created specifically to promote mindfulness. Abstract compositions in calming blues and greens. A shower of circles that suggests the infinity of the sky. Swirls of flowery patterns that evoke mandalas. Spiritual symbols, like a yin-yang, a hamsa hand, a flaming heart. Watery waves, and a curling peacock feather. The possibilities are endless. Trace, sketch, doodle, shade, cover with dots or make a world of images. And lose yourself in time and space. Images in the book are printed on sturdy paper that’s single-sided and perforated. All you need is your favorite pen.

The Greek philosophers lived in a time when the gods and the myths about them were very much alive, and there was no scientific evidence dismissing them. This book explores to what extent the Greeks were able to question their own mythology. This is done by examining the cosmology of their philosophers, and what roles they allowed therein for the gods. Stefan Stenudd is a Swedish author and historian of ideas, who studies the patterns of thought in creation myths.

Der materielle Krper hat einen logischen und funktionellen Aufbau: Gliedmaen, Organe, Kreislauf ... Dasselbe gilt auch fr die Lebenskraft im Menschen und ihre Strukturen: sie hat ihr prgendes Zentrum im Herzchakra, den Kreislauf der Kundalini, eine eifrmige schtzende Hlle wie die Haut und darum herum eine zweite Hlle, die der Wahrnehmung mittels Telepathie und dem Handeln mittels Telekinese dient. Kennen Sie das: in bestimmten Situationen wird einem warm ums Herz da sprt man sein Herzchakra. Oder wenn man einem besonders tollen Mann oder einer hinreienden Frau begegnet, regen sich Schmetterlinge im Bauch dann fhlt man sein Sonnengeflecht. Und jeder sprt es, wenn er von hinten angestarrt wird, denn dabei wird durch den Blick des anderen der eigene Lebenskraftkrper berhrt. Vielleicht kennen Sie auch Abhngigkeiten? Dabei fliet Lebenskraft von einem Menschen zu einem anderen. Ist Ihnen schon einmal aufgefallen, da die ueren Umstnde immer genau den inneren Zustand widerspiegeln? Dies liegt daran, da die inneren Bilder in den eigenen Chakren durch den Flu der Lebenskraft an den Schutzrand der eigenen Aura getragen werden und sich dort festsetzen und so Andockstellen fr die ihnen entsprechenden Ereignisse bilden. Auf diese Weise funktioniert auch Magie: Man erschafft in seinem eigenen Inneren ein intensives Wunschbild, das dann eine solche Andockstelle an der Hlle der Aura bildet, an die sich dann das gewnschte Ereignis anlagern kann. Alle Bestandteile des Lebenskraftkrpers haben eine bestimmte Funktion und in jeder Lebenssituation wirkt der eine oder andere Teil des Lebenskraftkrpers mit. Daher ist es allgemein hilfreich, die Strukturen und Dynamiken in der eigenen Lebenskraft zumindest in den Grundzgen zu kennen. Fr Spezialisten der Lebenskraft wie Meditierende, Priester und Heiler ist diese Kenntnis fr ein effektives Handeln eine Notwendigkeit. Mit etwas bung kann man diese Strukturen als leuchtende Formen wahrnehme
