The Silent Pulse

Book Title:
The Silent Pulse

Author Last Name:
Leonard

Author First Name:
George

Publisher:
EP Dutton

Year Published:
1978

ISBN:
0525481990

Book Review:

George Leonard was ahead of his time. Applying the principles of quantum physics, he was early to suggest a connection between consciousness and the environment, extending each of us to all of the particles in the universe. The Silent Pulse’s central premise is each of us has an individual identity expressed as a distinctive inner pulse, which comes into rhythm with each other and the rest of the universe. When all is right with the world, we’re in the zone—we realize a perfect rhythm when we’re in synch with nature and our experience. While familiar to many, these themes were quite new in the late 70’s. Leonard’s rhythm premise shows up in Malcolm Gladwell’s book The Tipping Point, published in 2000, in which super salesmen and even you and I can learn to engage in a physiological harmony of even the smallest micro movements. Think of it as synchronicity, and Leonard was in synch with quantum physics, intention, and remote viewing before anyone else. In The Silent Pulse, you’ll learn:

The World’s Religions

Book Title:
The World’s Religions: Our Great Wisdom Traditions

Author Last Name:
Smith

Author First Name:
Huston

Publisher:
HarperSanFrancisco

Year Published:
1958

ISBN:
0062508113

Book Review:

Required reading in introductory religion classes for decades, Huston Smith’s well written The World’s Religions goes beyond descriptions of seven major religions and reveals the wisdom behind them. Smith sees all the religions revealed by the same god over time, connected, yet different as appropriate for that time in human history. A personal achievement was the inclusion of an eighth category of religion: The Primal Religions, since it was through personal study that he came to see native religions as valid counterparts to the other seven religions; Smith’s own teachers were dismissive of anything but the seven main religions. In The World’s Religions, you’ll learn:

A Course in Miracles

Book Title:
A Course in Miracles

Author Last Name:
Foundation for

Author First Name:
Inner Peace

Publisher:
Foundation for Inner Peace

Year Published:
1975

ISBN:
0960638881

Book Review:

“Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.” This is how A Course in Miracles begins. This remarkable three-volume book was "scribed" by Dr. Helen Schucman through a process of inner dictation she identified as coming from Jesus. A clinical and research psychologist and tenured Associate Professor of Medical Psychology, she was assisted by the head of her department, Dr. William Thetford. A complete self-study spiritual thought system, the Course teaches that the way to universal love and peace—or remembering God—is by undoing guilt through forgiving others. The Course focuses on the healing of relationships and making them holy. A Course in Miracles also emphasizes that it is but one version of the universal curriculum, of which there are "many thousands." Although the language of the Course is that of traditional Christianity, it expresses a non-sectarian, non-denominational spirituality.

The Power of Now: relaxation techniques, meditation theory, presence

Fri, 24 Feb 2006 16:34:25 -0500

Book Title:
The Power of Now

Author Last Name:
Tolle

Author First Name:
Eckhart

Publisher:
New World Library

Year Published:
2004

ISBN:
1577314808

Book Review:

Eckhart Tolle is emerging as one of today's most profound and inspiring teachers. In The Power of Now, Tolle describes his transition from despair to self-realization soon after his 29th birthday. He took another ten years to understand this transformation, during which time he evolved a philosophy that has parallels in Buddhism, relaxation techniques, and meditation theory but is also eminently practical. Here he shows readers how to recognize themselves as the creators of their own pain, and how to have a pain-free existence by living fully in the present. Accessing the deepest self, the true self, can be learned, he says, by freeing ourselves from the conflicting, unreasonable demands of the mind and living "present, fully, and intensely, in the Now."

Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind

Book Title:
Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind

Author Last Name:
Suzuki

Author First Name:
Shunryu

Publisher:

Year Published:
1973

ISBN:
0834800799

Book Review:

A richly textured, deep map of the personal, professional, and emotional transformations that grow out of tragedy and crisis. Eloquently explaining the mechanics of transition through his own moving story, William Bridges addresses how disillusionment, sorrow, or confusion can blossom into a time of incredible creativity and contentment, highlighting the profound significance and true value of endings in our lives. When his wife died from breast cancer, Bridges began to question all his previous groundbreaking work on transitions. Having conducted seminars and written best-selling books, he had built a reputation as an expert on the topic. And yet, "I felt now that my words had totally failed to match in depth the experience of actually being in transition," he explains. After floundering in self-doubt for months after his wife died, he embarked on a spiritual pilgrimage through Wales. During his visits to sacred sites, he began to see that he simply had more to offer on the subject of transition—more depth, more spirit, and above all, more experience. The result is a brilliant and highly personal book in which he examines the pain and challenge of transition—how it is a time of letting go of the past while taking hold of the future.
