You can find your balance and the keys to success and enlightenment
by implementing a plan of mind, body and spirit. Through the
mastery of virtues we are ultimately able to master ourselves. This
book provides a powerful framework that will liberate you to all
the possibilities and magic in the world. "Dead Presidents," is
ghetto-parlance for money. Benjamin Franklin is the only
non-president to grace American paper currency. His face, on the
highly prized $100, spawned the phrase, "All about the Benjamin's."
As one of the first millionaires in American history, he felt
establishing a virtuous life was the key to great success. He also
knew that money was a tool; a sharp one. This is a guide to take
hold of those virtues and shape the course of your life. Franklin,
in his great genius, focused on 13 virtues. He would work each of
those virtues for seven days. He would go through the cycle four
times a year, starting anew every 13 weeks. The coded-cycles help
make our dreams come true. Benjamin Franklin's contributions
continue to have a huge impact on our world. It is time to return
back to wholeness, prosperity and goodness. It is our duty. When we
start to focus on living more virtuous lifestyles, the hope for our
lives and humanity grows greatly. When we chart our course, we move
with power and love. Capt. Brad Borden, USA (Ret.)
Is everything just as it should be, or is the world spiraling out
of control and we must try to save it? Is life simple, once we
understand how it works, or is it so complicated only a nuclear
physicist could understand it? The authors claim that life is
simple, but only if we accept what we encounter with equanimity and
are willing to replace old ideas with new ones that make more
sense. Attachment, resistance, and emotional reactions are what
make life difficult. Is there a personal God? Does Satan exist? Do
politics have a role in the spiritual development of our world?
What part does sex play in our spiritual development? This is not a
"safe" book. The authors have answers for all these questions and
more, but not all readers will agree with them. And that is as it
should be, according to them. Their concepts of how life works,
based on Ancient Wisdom teachings, will make you analyze, ponder
over, and re-assess your entire belief system. The overall message
is one of assurance. As one reader said, "It gave me hope. I never
considered myself a spiritual person until I read this book." "This
book speaks in today's language to seekers of all ages. Whether a
seasoned student or a beginner, it opens new doors and fresh vistas
on the soul's journey to wisdom. It is indeed a practical guide, at
the same time surveying all the principles necessary for
understanding the wisdom-tradition we know as Theosophy. This book
brings the Ancient Wisdom into the 21st century " - Joy Mills,
author of Reflections on an Ancient Wisdom "Ancient Wisdom for a
New Age provides some very important advice for those who want to
live the spiritual life. The chapter on reincarnation is especially
well-done. Hunt and Benedict are to be commended for making a noble
effort to help spiritual pilgrims on their way. By far the most
practical chapter in the book is 'Your Spiritual Practice'." -

After a seven-year retreat from public life and a lifetime of
firsthand experiences with the Divine, author, wisdom teacher,
healer and public speaker Shirlee Hall returns with the gift of
Light to help us understand and embrace the Mystery. Shirlee,
through intimacy with the Light, offers personal insights into how
to BE humanly what we are inwardly: perfect spiritual beings.
Through understanding the wisdom teachings, awakening unconditional
love within and living universal divine laws, the mysteries are
available to all sincere seekers. As a direct result of an
extraordinary healing experience in 1971, Shirlee's life was
dramatically transformed. The gifts of the Spirit became a daily
experience. Celestial beings, visions of Light, higher wisdom
teachings, a healing power, supranatural phenomena and most
important, a conscious communion with God became a living reality.
For twenty-five years, Shirlee lived life as a healing
transparency, teacher, author, spiritual consultant and public
speaker, giving to others what she had received. Her personal goal
was self-mastery. One momentous day, she suddenly left a day job, a
successful lecture and workshop career, and an active social life
to honor and fully uncover the Spirit within. All the prophecies of
the world, all the traditions, are converging. Shirlee, through
intimacy with the Light, offers hope and suggestions as to how we
can take action and be the radiant beings that we inwardly are.
Everyone is welcome, everyone is needed. She believes we can be the
heroes and heroines we admire.
Rewiring the Brain is not just another book on stress. It explores
a daring and innovative path to accessing the power of
consciousness as a more effective and lasting solution to tackle
stress and emotional afflictions. The present remedies, such as
drills of positive thinking and self-hypnosis through beliefs,
accrue only temporary solace and euphoria that wear off sooner than
expected. Also our reasoning power is not able to rein in the
unyielding force of negative emotions that fuel stress and
depression. Hence, this book pursues a new approach. It outlines
also certain ways that slow down aging process and enhance memory,
attention span, and emotional equilibrium. The book is a
fascinating journey to the inner world of self-its constructs of
emotions, thoughts, and memories-to discover why one behaves the
way one does. We go through myriads of joys and sorrows in the long
course of life, but hardly have the patience to pause and ponder
over the reasons that make them. Does it matter? Yes, much more
than perhaps one realizes. Stress should not be seen as an isolated
issue. It betrays the quality of individual self in its ceaseless
action of living. We have one and only life-the most precious thing
we happen to possess, and it is but natural that we struggle hard
to do our utmost to make it a wonderful experience. Stress, in its
overt or covert forms, works as a persistent factor that undermines
the spontaneity, joy, and beauty of life. In this competitive and
complex world, one faces countless factors of stress that are
unavoidable and immutable, including illness, accident, or death.
There are some other factors that can be altered through efforts,
which play a more decisive role in life. These are individual
attitude, mental tendencies, and ways one interacts with external
world. There is much truth in the saying "Life is 10 percent what
happens to you and 90 percent how you react to it." An objective
understanding of these individual factors means that half the
battle of tackling stress is won. Hence, the book seeks to help the
reader face and understand the workings of inner self and its
intricacies without resorting to psychological escape or
suppression. Yet an objective understanding is only the first step.
It does not resolutely change our mental habits and conditionings
that are hardwired in the brain. This suggests the need to go
beyond the remedies prevalent now and look for fundamentally new
solutions. In such effort, this book explores the possibility of
using the power of consciousness to rewire the brain and tackle
stress. The book has a refreshingly open-minded approach, devoid of
religious ideologies or mystical beliefs, and does not involve
psychological escapes. The practical methods and benefits are
outlined in a scientific spirit and correlated with research by
neuroscientists, psychologists, and medical institutes. The book
does not offer shortcuts or peripheral solutions, because none
exists. Neither does it offer self-hypnosis and gratifying beliefs
that are concealed in prescriptive actions and mental drills.
