英文简介: Nothing can match the explosive energy created in the body by pure desire. For millennia, Tantric adepts have harnessed this force as a means of attaining the summits of the mystical life. The energies fueled by passion are used to nourish the inner flame that burns away the egotistical perception of the mind.
Desire explores the subtle techniques of Tantra that enable the seeker to attain the triple mastery of the breath, thought, and the natural processes of the body. Tantrics believe that the body is the temple and divinity lies at its heart. In order to arrive at profound awareness, the body needs to be perfectly tuned and working toward a state of perfect fluidity. Desire reveals many of the secret practices intended for this purpose that have been passed down in the major Tantric treatises such as the Vijnanabhariva Tantra and Ch’an master Chinul’s treatise on the Secrets of Cultivating the Mind, including the important techniques of the ritual sexual observances known as Maithuna.

英文简介: Reveals the Mayan calendar to be a spiritual device that describes the evolution of human consciousness from ancient times into the future.
Shows the connection between cosmic evolution and actual human history.
Provides a new science of time that explains why time not only seems to be speeding up in the modern world but actually is getting faster.
Explains how the end of the Mayan calendar is not the end of the world, but a path toward enlightenment.
The prophetic Mayan calendar is not keyed to the movement of planetary bodies. Instead, it functions as a metaphysical map of the evolution of consciousness and records how spiritual time flows--providing a new science of time.
The calendar is associated with nine creation cycles, which represent nine levels of consciousness or Underworlds on the Mayan cosmic pyramid. Through empirical research Calleman shows how this pyramidal structure of the development of consciousness can explain things as disparate as the common origin of world religions and the modern complaint that time seems to be moving faster. Time, in fact, is speeding up as we transition from the materialist Planetary Underworld of time that governs us today to a new and higher frequency of consciousness--the Galactic Underworld--in preparation for the final Universal level of conscious enlightenment. Calleman reveals how the Mayan calendar is a spiritual device that enables a greater understanding of the nature of conscious evolution throughout human history and the concrete steps we can take to align ourselves with this growth toward enlightenment.

中文概要: 你会不会莫名地欢快或沮丧？你有没有做过很诡异的梦，或者脑子里有一个声音在说话，抑或者回想起很久以前的事情，更或者经历什么前兆性的现象，思绪突然中断，或者又出现什么新奇的联想-------而这一切看似突如其来？类似暗示、预感和审美感这样比较微妙的提示会不会让你兴奋地恶心或者毛骨悚然呢？所有这些希奇古怪的现象只能说明一点，人类远没我们想象地那么样能干，能随心所欲地控制自己的思想。事实上，人类生活的许多方面都很难用理智去解释，头脑看起来到像是一个拥有独立思维的组织。 远古世界里，人们为了能够弄明白普通生活中难以解释的感受，所以就创造了神灵和史诗故事，而中世纪的人们则相信这世界存在着妖魔鬼怪和天使。人们曾经认为，阿芙罗狄蒂就是通过咬耳朵的方式，让人们彼此相爱的；人们的创造力据说也是缪斯女神的恩赐，而今天我们对于这样的现象则做了比较科学的解释，这是大脑中两条电路连接产生的奇妙感觉。 《固执的头脑》这样一本极具趣味性的书展示了历史上各种有关无意识的阐述，远古时期人们把无意识描述成地狱，而当代人则创立了神经科学的理论。但是无论这样的叙述冲动能够给无意识现象披上何等的隐喻，无意识并不是一个单一的实体，而是一堆乱七八糟的感念，急等着我们把他一一理清。而这本书恰恰就是这样做的，它汲取了思想、文化史、文学以及修灵中的精华，从古埃及到荷马笔下的希腊神话和教义再谈到现代的玻利尼西亚。 我们从来没能把凌乱的无意识整理起来，而《固执的头脑》的确做到了，当然除次以外，它还阐述了无意识那张无形的基石----包括无意识和有意识的思维-----对人类日常行为的持久影响力。

英文简介: The unconscious has had a long and chequered history. For at least the last 4,000 years, societies have concocted comforting fables in the face of the recurrent puzzles of human existence - death, dreaming, madness, possession, inspiration - that invariably rely on some notion of the unconscious. Supernatural ’fairy stories’ need some internal proxy or contact point through which the influence of demons and spirits can flow. And without such gods and forces, some psychological machinery is needed to take over their work. But what IS the unconscious? Is it ’God’s viceroy’, the soul? Is it the locked ward of Freudian desire? Is the subliminal mind the source of the sublime emotions of the Romantics? Is is the mental microchip of cognitive science? Or is it simply the brain?

中文概要:

英文简介: Jean Houston, the best-selling author of books about the power of myth, shows us how animals, and dogs in particular, can help restore us to our natural condition of oneness with nature. Animals have always been a focus of our spiritual yearnings—from the Egyptians, who sculpted humans with animal heads, to ancient humans who painted magnificent tableaux of animals in the caves of southern Europe, to honor those "still part of the sacred flow of Nature." Today, as technological change isolates us, many seek to reconnect with spirit and nature. The mystic path, once the province of the few, has now become the quest of the many. Houston, who has spent a lifetime bridging these two worlds, shares stories of her life with dogs and how they have shown her and can show us "who and what we really are." She illustrates the stages of the classic mystic path, which include awakening, purification, and illumination, with sacred dog stories that show how animals, by naturally being part of the "greater life," can reflect hidden aspects of this path toward oneness. Inspiring and humorous, Mystical Dogs will appeal to both the mystic and the animal lover.

中文概要: “黑客帝国”(The Matrix)是一部后现代主义的美国电影，有上中下三集，内容复杂，充满隐喻，值得深思和严肃探讨。作者从电影中的一些细节入手，讨论了其中的宗教含义和折衷主义的哲学思想。他们认为，应当把电影的主题和个人的精神启示联系起来，思考一下与自己的生活有关的问题，如：什么是真实？什么是婚姻？等等。这样才更有收获。

英文简介: The millions of people who saw and loved The Matrix understood that it was much more than just an action adventure movie with state-of-the-art special effects. Audiences gravitated toward the film because it made a statement about life. Its plot and themes resonated with a postmodern worldview and caused people to think carefully about their spirituality.
In The Gospel Reloaded, authors Chris Seay and Greg Garrett explore the Matrix films, studying the characters and metaphors for their hidden meaning. They show how these movies--with their themes of rebirth and awakening, fate and free will--are guaranteed to generate thoughtful discussion about culture and spirituality.
