A deep exploration of the direct experience of non-dual reality and
its lessons for spiritual growth and development * Examines the
direct perception of non-dual reality and shows its implications
for navigating ordinary reality in an open, compassionate, and
ever-maturing way * Shares the author's most significant awakening
experiences and explores their psycho-emotional and psychospiritual
foundations * Offers practical teachings for spiritual
understanding, emotional development, and the cultivation of
compassion Exploring the direct perception of non-dual,
"non-ordinary" reality, Paul Weiss shares guidance for navigating
ordinary reality in an open, compassionate, and ever-maturing way.
He affirms our shared human potential for the "direct experience"
of reality--unmediated by our more relativistic mental
faculties--and reveals this experience as an essential dimension of
our conscious capacity for growth. He shares his most significant
awakening experiences and the circumstances leading up to them,
exploring the personal and transpersonal dimensions of the
experiences and their psycho-emotional and psycho- spiritual
foundations. He points to such experiences as part of our ongoing
integration as human beings and the essential path of practice that
supports our availability to them. Interweaving perspectives from
psychology and neuroscience with important lessons from spiritual
traditions around the world, Weiss explores how to live a life of
integrity, reciprocity, and openness to reality, offering practical
teachings for spiritual understanding, emotional development, and
the cultivation of compassion, viewed by ancient Buddhist sages as
the true meaning of existence. He addresses such human qualities as
vulnerability, empathy, reciprocity, openness, and intimacy and
shows how they express and participate in deeper conscious truths.
The author also examines practical wisdom teachings within both
Buddhist and Christian paths to realization. Combining engaged
mysticism with transcendent humanism, along with thought- provoking
poetry, Weiss offers a living vision of a non-dual way of
experiencing the world, a path that supports our functional,
emotional, and spiritual maturity.
Vor dem Hintergrund zahlreicher Richtlinien, Verordnungen, Normen
und sonstigen Regelungen im Bereich der Elektromagnetischen
Umweltvertraglichkeit (EMVU) vermittelt das Buch eine fundierte
Einfuhrung in die Materie. Dadurch soll die Exposition des Menschen
und der Umwelt durch elektrische, magnetische und
elektromagnetische Felder in sachlicher und wissenschaftlicher
Weise dargestellt werden, um daraus Grenzwerte und Vorschriften
abzuleiten. Es bietet eine ausfuhrliche Ubersicht zu allen
aktuellen Quellen, bewertet diese und prasentiert ein schlussiges
Konzept fur EMVU-Messungen. Die Ausfuhrungen werden durch Beispiele
aus der Praxis erganzt, welche die Autoren im Rahmen ihrer Arbeit
an der Technologietransferstelle fur EMV und EMVU des Landes
Rheinland-Pfalz zusammengetragen haben."

EXPERIMENTS ON THE RELATIVE INTENSITY OF SUCCESSIVE, SIMULTANEOUS,
ASCEND- ING AND DESCENDING TONES What has preceded seems to deal
with the physical principles of constant rotation and of tone
production rather than with the psychological properties of tones.
However, in psychology as in the other sciences the time has passed
when it is possible to perform fruitful experiments on new problems
with apparatus that was designed for other problems and that is now
listed in the catalogs of dealers in psychological apparatus. When
the apparatus had been developed to the point at which it seemed
profitable to begin the psychological experiments for which it had
been designed, it was decided to begin with the simplest of tone
intensity problems. This seemed to be the influence of the method
of presentation upon the intensity relations between tones. At the
close of the experiment the "simplicity" was decidedly less simple
than it appeared to be at the beginning. The reason why it was
necessary to restrict the experiment to the relative intensity
instead of working with absolute intensities and then from these
deriving the relative values, was mainly due to the fact that no
absolute standard which could be used was available. The Bureau of
Standards at Washington does not furnish a tone of unit intensity
which may be used as a standard. Professor A. G. Webster has
defined a standard of tone intensity but to calibrate the
intensities used in this experiment in terms of this standard would
require an interferometer and a degree of technical skill in the
manipulation, which would require months to develop. A simpler
device is needed. The writer hopes, in the near future, to design
an electrically driven fork which may be used as a standard for
tone intensities which will be sui...
The ideas in this book may be hazardous to your health. "When I
feed hungry children, they call me a saint. When I ask, 'Why are
children hungry,' they call me a communist." That's how Brazilian
bishop Dom Helder Camara said it. Bringing change to the world is
risky business. In Touching The Rainbow Ground visionary missionary
and award-winning videographer Paul Weiss describes a journey in
which he learned that his vision of feeding poor, hungry children
alienated friends, family and, especially, those whose power and
wealth maintain the system that keeps children hungry. The 8 Steps
to Hope outlined in Touching The Rainbow Ground slowly became clear
as he traveled from the affluence of his hometown of Santa Barbara
to a leper colony in the Philippines to the Tijuana garbage dump
and from the jungles of Guatemala to the ghettos of Washington, DC.
Touching is a primer for students, ministers, teachers and
nonprofit staff on how to make their dreams of creating a better
world come true.
Volumes I-VIII of the Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce
are being reissued in response to a growing interest in Peirce's
thought--a development that was prophesied by John Dewey when he
reviewed the first volume of these papers on their appearance in
1931. Writing in "The New Republic," Mr. Dewey said, "Nothing much
will happen in philosophy as long as a main object among
philosophers is defense of some formulated historical position. I
do not know of any other thinker more calculated than Peirce to
give emanipation from the intellectual fortifications of the past
and to arouse a fresh imagination."
Originally published as eight separate volumes, the Peirce
papers appear in the new Belknap Press edition in four handsome
books of two volumes each. The content is identical with that of
the original edition: Volume I, "Principals of Philosophy"; Volume
II, "Elements of Logic"; Volumes III, "Exact Logic"; Volumes IV,
"The Simplest Mathematics"; Volumes V, "Pragmatism and
Pragmaticism"; Volume VI, "Scientific Metaphysics"; Volume VII,
"Science and Philosophy"; Volume VIII, "Reviews, Correspondence,
and Bibliography,"
Born in 1901, Paul Weiss has made major contributions to several
branches of philosophy, as well as to teaching and scholarly
publishing. Alfred North Whitehead remarked: "The danger of
philosophical teaching is that it may become dead-alive, but in
Paul Weiss's presence that is impossible". Weiss is widely believed
to be America's greatest living speculative metaphysician, but he
has also made notable philosophical contributions to the discussion
of sports, the arts, religion, logic, and politics. Professor Weiss
has been highly productive: his Being and Other Realities (1995)
was hailed as one of his most exciting books, and as this volume
goes to press he is hard at work on yet another major treatise.

This republication presents the seminal concepts of a writer
described in John Dewey's article as "the most original
philosophical mind this country has produced."
