"Essential Writings" A Journey Through Time
The journey begins with viewing the origin of our universe and
following natural evolution, leading to an analysis of the human
mind, our greatest asset. After a discussion of the meaning and
direction in our life, thoughts are presented to guide and support
us in our path, as pronouced in the biblical Beatitutes and in a
meditation for nonbelievers. In the end, aging is described as one
experiences it.
A view to the future indicates the fundamental problems and
opportunities for mankind which should concern us all.
Helmut Schwab's writings result from the study of the sciences,
life in business, his philosophical thought, and always deep
concerns for human search, suffering, and need for light and
warmth-combined with joy.
COULD IT BE POSSIBLE?
Could it be possible that there is a way to experience the
Creator, the Source of the Universe?
Have you ever wondered just why you are here? What is the
purpose of life?
Trevor asked himself the same questions many years ago and this
book is the result of gaining some answers to this age-old quest
for inner knowledge.
It takes the reader on a journey from conception to
enlightenment describing the spiritual experiences of two sixteenth
century Christian saints, St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the
Cross and two twentieth century Hindu saints - Yogananda and
Muktananda.
The author then turns to the Bible, examining the four gospels,
with particular emphasis on the deeper and hidden message of
Jesus.
Trevor also relates his own spiritual journey and how this has
shaped his life.
The book concludes with the possible future for mankind.

Cetasika means belonging to the mind. It is a mental factor which
accompanies consciousness (citta) and experiences an object. There
are 52 cetasikas. This book gives an outline of each of these 52
cetasikas and shows the relationship they have with each other. It
will help the student have more understanding of the intricate
operations of the mind enabling the development of good qualities
and the eventual eradication of all defilements. It will help to
understand that citta and cetasika act according to their own
conditions and that an abiding agent (soul or self) is not to be
found. The book assumes some previous knowledge of Buddhism.
