HUMANITY HAS REACHED A DANGEROUS TIPPING POINT of potential
self-destruction because our technical and scientific achievements
have out distanced our spiritual realization. We must develop a new
understanding of who we are, centered on the realization of oneness
with all of creation. This realization can only be achieved by the
combination and integration of rational logical thinking and
mystical internal awareness.
Humanity has now reached the point where the two separate
understandings of reality must be combined into a holistic
understanding of existence. "Peace Is Oneness" addresses the
dangers of accepting the separation that results from our egos,
along with the ways that separation can be healed. Both science and
evolutionary religion define the same reality. We must awaken from
our dream state of separate selves and realize the oneness that is
our true self of unconditional love.
Western culture has largely lost most of its connection to myth
because of the dominance of material science. We have what the
ancient Greeks called logos, but we have lost what they called
mythos. This is about to change, as science and religion begin to
define reality in the same way. Will it happen quickly enough to
save us from our own self destruction? Your individual
consciousness is essential in determining the outcome.
Exploration of the interface between mystical theology and
continental philosophy is a defining feature of the current
intellectual and even devotional climate. But to what extent and in
what depth are these disciplines actually speaking to one another;
or even speaking about the same phenomena? This book draws together
original contributions by leading and emerging international
scholars, delineating emerging debates in this growing and dynamic
field of research, and spanning mystical and philosophical
traditions from the ancient, to the medieval, modern, and
contemporary. At the heart of which lies Meister Eckhart, perhaps
the single most influential Christian mystic for modern times. The
book is organised around significant historical and contemporary
figures who speak across the intersections of philosophy and
theology, offering new insights into key interlocutors such as
Pseudo-Dionysius, Augustine, Isaac Luria, Eckhart, Hegel,
Heidegger, Marion, Kierkegaard, Deleuze, Laruelle, and Zizek.
Designed both to contribute to current trends in mystical theology
and philosophy, and elicit dialogue and debate from further afield,
this book speaks within an emerging space exploring the retrieval
of the mystical within a post-secular context.
"In Karma, Mind, and Quest for Happiness," Dr. Susmit Kumar
seeks to explain certain facts of Tantric philosophy, such as the
constituent parts of the mind, the effect of mantra on the mind,
and how karma may be scientifically defined and explained.
Until recently, people considered units of time and distance in
terms of 100-200 years and 100-200 miles; astronomers now measure
time and distance in billions of years and trillions of miles. Even
so, science can study the scientific laws of only 4 percent of the
materials in the universe, as it cannot "see" the remaining 96
percent, referred to as "dark matter" and "dark energy."
Great individuals-such as Christ, Buddha, Moses, Prophet
Muhammad, and Krishna-knew something about the workings of the
Universe that is not common knowledge; this is why we claim their
actions to be miracles or religious dogma.
Furthermore, during the last 10,000 years, many saints in Asia
have explored the human mind and its relationship with the
Infinite. Most of them did it after first having established the
limitations of physical pleasure and intellectual knowledge. When
they started to explore the functioning of their minds and how
everything around them was created, they developed a theory called
Tantra.
"In Karma, Mind, and Quest for Happiness," Dr. Kumar will
explore how Tantra is free from the distorting influences of time
and place.

The New Revelation, by Arthur Conan Doyle - Akasha Classics,
AkashaPublishing.Com - The (dis)connection between psychological
(or scientific) and psychic mind is a subject that has baffled man
for centuries. The phenomenon captured the attention of Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle in a very particular way, a man in whom the analytic
and artistic struggled for dominance. Originally published in 1918,
the New Revelation deals not only with the issue of physical versus
metaphysical, but also considers the problem of death (and
afterlife) and the question of communication with the spirit world.
Conan Doyle's captivating prose and pragmatic, yet human, voice
makes for an enlightening exploration of some eternally relevant
questions and possible answers. Scottish surgeon and political
activist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle turned his passions into stories
and novels, producing fiction and nonfiction works sometimes
controversial (The Great Boer War, 1900), sometimes fanciful (The
Coming of the Fairies, 1922), and sometimes legendary (The
Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, 1892).
