Take a journey by map through your inner landscape to discover a life of awe, enchantment, and radical aliveness * Explains how experiencing awe and wonder can transform our lives, leading us to feel more satisfied, peaceful, and open to others * Offers contemporary and time-honored practices--from mindfulness to dreamwork and working with plants--that help you reconnect with Nature and your imagination, open your heart, and find vitality and enchantment * Explores ways of examining and embracing our shadow, deepening our relationships, and creating meaningful personal rituals Where Wonder Lives invites you on a journey, an expedition through your own inner landscape to reawaken to the mystery of life. The travels are by way of an imaginary map through 9 distinct territories. In each, you explore the terrain, then are led to a rich set of contemporary and time-honored practices--from mindfulness to dreamwork, cloudscapes, and working with plants--that help you rebuild a life of vitality, connection, and enchantment. There is no prescribed order in which to explore the map. Rather, the invitation is to begin at the territory that calls to you, or perhaps that which is most challenging. Each territory reflects and amplifies the others, and you will instinctively arrive at the practices that you need most. The Jungle delves into our original deep kinship with Nature and helps you rekindle your inner wildness. The Garden takes you on a journey through your senses, and the River unfurls your imagination. The Mountaintop presents a bird's-eye view of your life, while the Swamp delves into your inner shadow and delivers gold. The Village helps us deepen our bonds and relationships, the Lighthouse teaches us to quiet our minds, and the Fire inspires us to create meaningful ceremonies and personal rituals. The Ocean looks into the topography of the heart and offers practices to awaken the heart's most powerful emotions: awe, joy, compassion, gratitude, and love, the mother of them all. Throughout the journey you are immersed in a world of wonder and awe, discovering new possibilities for learning and expansion in ordinary life. Face to face with the mystery of life, Where Wonder Lives makes you feel at once both infinitely small and part of a vast, unfathomable universe--all while helping you to see the world anew.

The Porallel Sayings; No matter how different the world's religions appear, at their core are universal messages that transcend time, culture and faith. This book reveals the parallel sayings of two orthe world's greatest spititual teachers-Jesus and LaoTzu (the father of taoism and author of The Tao Te Ching). Side by side, page after page the parallels are presented with minimal clarifying explanation so readers can witness the striking similaries between the teachings and meditate on their shared message. In series that began with Jesus and Buddha: The Parallel Sayings; Offers the first comprehensive collection of parallel sayings from Jesus and Lao Tzu ever compiled; Offers evidence of a universally shared spirituality -- a hot trend in modern religion; Written and formatted in an enlightening, straightforward fashion for lay readers, not academics; Jesus and Lao Tzu briefly explores the origins of these amazing parallels. it looks at the lives of the two great teachers and the traditions that they belonged to as well as the religions they creared.Westerners unfamiliar with The Tao Te Ching are provided with a short, clear explanation of its signiticance and place in the culture of the East. However the core of-the book is the parallels. Many passages exhibit remarkably similar sentiments and language, often using the same metaphors. They are then divided into a number of sections, each beginning with a brief look at the religious and historical importance of that particular set of parallels: Humility, love and Forgiveness, Materialism and Wealth, innocence and Simpiicity, as well as Hypocrisy and Violence. Like the teachings it voices, the book is both simple and profound.
Reveals how psychedelics can facilitate spiritual development and direct encounters with the sacred • With contributions by Albert Hofmann, Huston Smith, Stanislav Grof, Charles Tart, Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin, Brother David Steindl-Rast, and many others • Includes personal accounts of Walter Pahnke’s Good Friday Experiment as well as a 25-year follow-up with its participants Modern organized religion is based predominantly on secondary religious experience--we read about others’ extraordinary spiritual encounters with God but have no direct experience ourselves. Yet there exist powerful sacraments to help us directly experience the sacred, to help us seek out the meaning of being human and our place in the universe, and to help us see the sacred in the world that surrounds us. In this book, more than 25 spiritual leaders, scientists, and psychedelic visionaries examine how we can return to the primary spiritual encounters at the basis of all religions through the guided use of psychedelics. With contributions by Albert Hofmann, Huston Smith, Stanislav Grof, Charles Tart, Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin, Brother David Steindl-Rast, Myron Stolaroff, and many others, this book explores protocols for ceremonial and spiritual use of psychedelics, including LSD, psilocybin, ayahuasca, and MDMA, and the challenges of transforming entheogenic insights into enduring change. It examines psychoactive sacraments in the Bible, myths surrounding the use of LSD, and the transformative ayahuasca rituals of Santo Daime. The book also includes personal accounts of Walter Pahnke’s Good Friday Experiment as well as a 25-year follow-up with its participants.
