Osem Knjige Vsak duhovni iskalec Če Preberi "Hočete orožje? Pojdi v knjižnico. Knjige so najboljše orožje na svetu. "~ Doctor Who Vsi vemo o velikih duhovnih doktrin: Sveto pismo, Časopis, Tibetanska knjiga mrtvih, Tao Te Ching, vendar obstajajo tudi druge knjige, ki imajo duhovno vsebino razdeliti vaše srce široko odprto in zmanjšati svoje prej imeli dojemanje na koščke s svojo sveto brezobzirnosti in transcendentne plemeniti. Imejte v mislih, da so knjige, izbrani samo mnenje avtorja. Lahko bi bilo na noben način omejen s tem kratkem izbor. Obstaja samo toliko knjig, da sem lahko preusmerilo za naslednja, ki so prav tako zaslužijo. Pogled na njih kot odskočna deska ali springboards k višji branje, če bo. Kakorkoli, prosim uživajte Duševna prehranjenost od naslednjih osmih knjig, da bi vsak duhovni iskalec prebrati. 1) Narave in človeške duše Bill Plotkin "Caterpillr je metulja kot neizkušene ego je na začet eden. The imaginal buds are to the caterpillar as the soul is to the uninitiated ego.” ~ Bill Plotkin Ta knjiga je duhovni načrt za zdravo napredovanje človeške duše. V njej, Bill Plotkin nas popelje na potovanje skozi junaške Eight Soul-centric/Eco-centric Stages of Human Development. It begins with The Innocent in the Nest, followed by The Explorer in the Garden, and then The Thespian at the Oasis. These three stages round out the lower ego-centered stages of human development. The majority of people in Western society never get beyond these stages, and so authentic psychological and spiritual maturity has become an uncommon achievement, and genuine, venerated elder-hood is nearly nonexistent. Arguably the most critical stage is the fourth: The Wanderer in the Cocoon, where the ego is deconstructed (ego death), and we learn how to stretch comfort zones, prekinil du, and pass through existential thresholds. Upon exiting the cocoon, our ego becomes fully formed (individuated), and we become a creature with the capacity to experience “soul initiation” (self-actualization). The stages continue with The Soul Apprentice at the Wellspring, The Artisan in the Wild Orchard, The Master in the Grove of Elders, and end with The Sage in the Mountain Cave. 2) The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman "Imate še ni odprl svoje srce polno, do življenja, na vsakem trenutku. Mirnega Bojevnikov način ne gre invulnerability, ampak absolutno ranljivost–svetu, do življenja, in Prisotnosti si čutil. Vse skupaj sem ti pokazala na primer, da je življenje bojevnika ne glede predstavljala popolnost ali zmago; gre za ljubezen. Ljubezen je meč bojevnik je; kjerkoli se kosi, daje življenje, not death.” ~ Dan Millman If you want to learn about the Zen of fearlessness then this is the book for you. Based on a true story about Dan Millman’s youth, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior is a teacher-student story pitting the naïve and passionate student, Dan, with the wise and resolute teacher, Socrates. Socrates teaches Dan how the peaceful warrior’s way is a spiritual path of absolute vulnerability in the moment. Socrates: “Where are you?" Dan: “Here.” Socrates: “What time is it?" Dan: “Now.” Socrates: “What are you?" Dan: “This moment.” He teaches how courage, trdnost, and discipline are the foundation of love. He teaches Dan how courage is not being invulnerable. It is a soft plasticity. He reveals how there is strength in absolute vulnerability that those with invulnerable power can never know. We are all ordinary human beings having an extraordinary experience. There are no ordinary moments, only ordinary precepts and perceptions. This book is the spiritual seeker’s Rocky. The inspiration gained will leave your heart bursting with courageous love. 3) The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker “Man cannot endure his own littleness unless he can translate it into meaningfulness on the largest possible level.” ~ Ernest Becker Awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Non-Fiction in 1974, The Denial of Death builds on the works of Søren Kierkegaard, Sigmund Freud, and Otto Rank, med drugim. This is a tour de force of existential anxiety meets higher reasoning. Becker grabs us by the ankles, chops off the makeshift wings given to us by cultural conditioning, and brings us back down to earth, where he exposes our hypocrisy and how we are nothing more than insecure, fallible creatures “who need continued affirmation of our powers.” But then he reveals the more authentic path to enlightenment and spirituality: making our own wings through the discovery of the “symbolic self.” It is through this continued artistic affirmation that we discover our symbolic self, which we use to transcend the limits of our insignificance through art and higher creativity. This leads to our embarking on an “immortality project,” in which we become part of something we feel will last forever, beyond death. It is at this point that we transcend the dilemma of mortality through cosmic heroism. Becker speaks like his own tongue was the tongue of a Hero of a Thousand Faces itself, lashing like existential whips at the heart of the human condition. He forces our head over the edge of the abyss, challenging us to trump small-mindedness by being heroically creative and responsible for bringing meaning, Namen, and significance to the bigger picture of our lives. 4) Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola-Estes “As with any descent into the unconscious, there comes a time when one simply hopes for the best, pinches one’s nose, and jumps into the abyss. If this were not so, we would not have needed to create the words heroine, Junak, or courage.” ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes This book is a masterpiece of mythological insight and should be read by all people, but especially women. It takes the reader through wise fables, parables, legends, and myths while interpreting it through a feminine, eco-conscious lens of “deep knowing” that mystically reveals how all things can be connected through the power of human stories. Particularly poignant is the following wise alliteration of spiritual advice – forego: leave it alone; forebear: abstain from punishment; forget: refuse to dwell; and forgive: abandon the debt. Pinkola-Estes strikes the heart of the female condition, while also tapping the cornerstone of the human condition, by revealing the elusive philosopher’s stone of deep Truth in balance with the human soul. Through wild knowing and sacred mythmaking, this book is a salve for the many wounds inherent within the human condition, and a spiritual boon for the religiously perplexed. Wild woman (La Loba, Wolf Woman) has much to teach women, let alone men. As Clarissa Pinkola-Estes advises in the book, “Be homesick for wild knowing.” 5) Finite and Infinite Games by James P. Carse "Ta nenehna sprememba ne pomeni diskontinuiteto kot osebo; namesto sprememba je sama zelo temelj naše kontinuitete kot oseba. To je zato, ker ne morem videti, kar ste videli, da vidim sploh. "~ James P. Carse This book is a succinct and gripping exploration of the human condition seen through the lens of a unique flavor of game theory. Carse introduces two contrasting game players: the Finite Player and the Infinite Player. He explains how “a boundary is a phenomenon of opposition (končnih). A horizon is a phenomenon of vision (infinite)." The spiritual undertones are exemplary, and a kind of sacred humor is felt throughout. The Finite Player plays within boundaries, while the Infinite Player plays with boundaries. The Finite Player plays in all seriousness, while the Infinite Player plays in jest. The Finite Player plays for power, while the Infinite Player plays with power. The Finite Player consumes time, while the Infinite Player generates time. The Finite Player aims for eternal life, while the Infinite Player aims for eternal rebirth. For the Finite Player, the rules of the game always stay the same; medtem ko je za Infinite Player, pravila igre je treba spremeniti, da bi še naprej igrati. Za končnih Player Igra neizogibno konča, medtem ko je za Infinite Player Igra neverjetno nadaljuje. Samo res, neskončna igra je igra življenja. 6) PHI: Voyage iz Brain Duši Giulio Tononi "temačne misli, kot so Taman vode, lahko služijo samo dva namena: skriti tisto, kar se skriva pod, ki je naša nevednost, ali da plitvo zdi globoko "-Giulio Tononi Ta knjiga ima bralca na poti v um-spreminjajo skozi naravo zavesti. Prepleta znanost, art, in domišljijo z zlatimi razmerjih, Fibonaccijeva zaporedja, in fraktalne kozmologija. Bralec ima radost dojemanja sveta skozi takih mojstrov kot je Galileo, Alan Turing, Darwin in Francis Crick, med drugim. Iz nevrologije na psevdoznanost, iz globoke introspekcije do zavedajoč meditacije, Tononi pojasnjuje o tem, kako je zavest razvija, stalno poglabljanje zavesti o sebi kot končna, duhovna bitja v neskončnem vesolju. Smo se naučili, kako zavest je integriran informacijski in kako moč te integracije zahteva izreden odgovornost in lahkovernosti;. Uči, kako možgani sedež naših zaznav, in je ustvarjalna sila par excellence, in lahko celo ustvarjajo nove oblike in nove takšnosti in kako, naraščajoča zavest, vesolje prihaja bolj in bolj na počutje, in sintetizira eno in mnogo, ego in eko, individualno in soodvisnost vseh stvari. 7) New Earth: Prebujanje namenu vaše življenje je Eckhart Tolle, ki jih "Ko ustvarjalna moč vesolja, postane zavedal sebe, kaže v radosti. Vam ni treba čakati za nekaj "smiselno", da pridejo v vaše življenje, tako da lahko končno uživate kaj počnete. Obstaja več pomen v veselje, kot boste kdajkoli potrebovali. "Čaka, da začne življenje", je ena izmed najpogostejših zablod v nezavestnem stanju. Širitev in pozitivne spremembe, je bolj verjetno, da pridejo v vaše življenje, če boste lahko uživali, kaj počnete že, instead of waiting for some change so you can start enjoying what you do.” ~ Eckhart Tolle This is the self-improvement book to end all self-improvement books. Capitalizing on the monumental success of his book The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle takes the reader on a spiritual journey on how to create happiness without material possession in the present moment. According to Tolle, the book’s singular purpose is “not to add new information or beliefs to your mind or to try to convince you of anything, but to bring about a shift in consciousness.” He is intent upon instilling a mindset of honest self-evaluation and puts forth a concept of “evolutionary transformation of human consciousness” in order to change the way human being’s perceive reality. He proceeds to vivisect the ego, and from the carnage rises the unvanquishable soul of the human condition, which is eternally present and thus forever joyful in the moment. This book teaches, above all else, how important it is for human beings to create and to cultivate meaning in the here and now. 8) Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche “Belief in truth begins with doubts of all truths in which one has previously believed.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche This book is arguably Nietzsche’s magnum opus. It is incredibly well-crafted, and turning the human soul inside out seems to be its main objective. If the reader is open enough to receive it, the message of self-overcoming is well-received. Otherwise it loses readers in a sea of mystical but entertaining highfalutin. It has everything from the death of God to the rise of the primordial Übermensch to themes of “eternal recurrence.” It possesses a unique experimental style, sang in poetic dithyrambs narrated by the books protagonist and instigator, Zarathustra. It’s neither prose nor poetry, neither non-fiction nor fiction, but subsumes it all, nekako, rising above the typical. It breaks all the literary rules but comes out smelling like a bouquet of roses someone laid on God’s grave. Nietzsche’s elegant and far-reaching conclusion is that while autonomy and self-overcoming are not easily attained, their absence proves catastrophic to both the individual, kultura, and the world, as interdependence (self-overcoming in communion with cosmos) cannot be achieved without the freedom of independence (individuation) from codependency (dogmatism). As Nietzsche pleaded, “I beseech you, my brothers, remain faithful to the earth, and do not believe those who speak to you of otherworldly hopes.” Honorable mentions Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M.

Osam Knjige Svaki duhovni tragalac bi trebao pročitati "Želite oružje? Idi na knjižnici. Knjige su najbolji oružja u svijetu. "~ Doctor Who Svi znamo o velikim duhovnim učenjima: Biblija, Novine, Tibetanska knjiga mrtvih, Tao Te Ching, ali postoje i druge knjige koje imaju duhovnu supstancu podijeliti svoje srce širom otvorena i smanjiti svoje prethodno imao percepciju na komadiće s njihovim svetim bezobzirnosti i velikodušnosti transcendentnog. Imajte na umu da su knjige izabrani su samo mišljenje autora. Trebali bi ni na koji način biti ograničen ovom kratkom izboru. Postoje samo onoliko knjige koje sam mogao ugasila u nastavku koje su jednako zaslužuje. Pogledajte ih kao koračni kamenje ili springboards prema višoj čitanja, ako ho?e. Bilo kako bilo, Molimo Vas da uživate duševan hranu od sljedećih osam knjiga koje svaki duhovni tragatelj trebao pročitati. Priroda i ljudske duše Bill Plotkin "Caterpillr je leptir što neupućenima ego je na pokrenuo jedan. The imaginal buds are to the caterpillar as the soul is to the uninitiated ego.” ~ Bill Plotkin Ova knjiga je duhovna nacrt za zdrav napredak ljudske duše. U tome, Bill Plotkin nas vodi na putovanje kroz herojsku Osam Soul-centric / Eco-centric faze ljudskog razvoja. Ona počinje s Innocent u gnijezdu, zatim Explorera u vrtu, a zatim glumac u Oazi. Ove tri faze zaokružuju donje ego-centered faze ljudskog razvoja. Većina ljudi u zapadnom društvu nikada ne bi izvan ove faze, i tako autentična psihološka i duhovna zrelost je postao neuobičajeno dostignuće, i iskreno, štovao stariji-hood je gotovo i nema. Uvjerljivo najviše kritična faza je četvrta: Putnik u Cocoon, gdje ego se dekonstruira (ego smrt), i učimo kako se protežu udobnost zone, razbiti mentalne paradigme, i proći kroz egzistencijalne pragova. Nakon izlaska iz čahure, naš ego postaje potpuno formirana (individualna), i mi postati stvorenje s kapacitetom da doživite "duša inicijacije" (samoostvarenja). Faze nastaviti s dušom pripravnik u izvoru, Artisan na Divljem voćnjak, Majstor u Grove staraca, i završava s kadulje u Mountain Cave. Put mirnog ratnika Dan Millman "Vi još niste otvorili svoje srce u potpunosti, u život, svakom trenutku. Mirnog ratnički put se ne radi o neranjivosti, ali apsolutna ranjivost–na svijetu, u život, i na prisutnost ste osjećali. Sve zajedno sam ti pokazuje primjer kako ratnik život nije o tome zamisliti savršenstvo ili pobjedu; radi se o ljubavi. Ljubav je ratnik je mač; gdje god je to smanjuje, daje život, not death.” ~ Dan Millman Ako želite saznati više o Zen neustrašivosti onda je ovo knjiga za vas. Na temelju istinita priča o Dan Millman mladeži, Put mirnog ratnika je učitelj-učenik priča rupičaste naivni i strastvenu studenticu, A, s mudrim i odlučnim učitelja, Sokrat. Sokrat uči Dan kako je mirna ratničke način je duhovni put apsolutne osjetljivosti u trenutku. Sokrat: "Gdje su ti?" A: "Ovdje." Sokrat: "Koliko je sati?" A: "Sada." Sokrat: "Što si ti?" A: "Ovo je trenutak." On uči hrabrosti, snaga, i disciplina su temelj ljubavi. On uči Dan tome hrabrost nije bio neranjiv. To je mekani plastičnosti. On otkriva kako je snaga u apsolutnoj ranjivosti koje oni s neranjiv vlast nikada ne može znati. Svi smo mi obični ljudi imaju izniman doživljaj. Nema običnih trenutaka, samo obični zapovijedi i percepcije. Ova knjiga je duhovna azila Rocky. Inspiracija stekao će ostaviti srce prštala hrabrim ljubavi. Denial of Death Ernest Becker “Man cannot endure his own littleness unless he can translate it into meaningfulness on the largest possible level.” ~ Ernest Becker Nagrađeni Pulitzerovu nagradu za ne-fikcija u 1974, Denial of Death gradi na djelima Søren Kierkegaarda, Sigmund Freud, Otto Rank, između ostalog. To je bravura od egzistencijalne tjeskobe zadovoljava višu rasuđivanje. Becker nas zgrabi za gležnjeve, kotleta off improviziranim krilima danih kulturnih uređaj, and brings us back down to earth, where he exposes our hypocrisy and how we are nothing more than insecure, fallible creatures “who need continued affirmation of our powers.” But then he reveals the more authentic path to enlightenment and spirituality: making our own wings through the discovery of the “symbolic self.” It is through this continued artistic affirmation that we discover our symbolic self, which we use to transcend the limits of our insignificance through art and higher creativity. To dovodi do naše ukrcati na "besmrtnost projekta,"U kojem smo postali dio nečega što smatramo da će trajati zauvijek, nakon smrti. To je u ovom trenutku da smo nadići dilemu smrtnosti kroz kozmičke junaštva. Becker govori kao njegov jezik bio jezik junak tisuću sama lica, bičevanje kao egzistencijalnim bičevima u srcu ljudskog stanja. On tjera našu glavu preko ruba ponora, nas izazov adutske malim mindedness koje se junački kreativni i odgovorni za dovođenje značenje, namjena, i značaj za veću sliku naših života. Žene koje vode s vukovima by Clarissa Pinkola Estes- "Kao i kod bilo koje silazak u nesvijesti, Tu dolazi vrijeme kada se jednostavno nada za najbolje, uhvatila nečiji nos, i skače u ponor. Ako to ne bi bilo, ne bi trebalo stvoriti riječi heroinu, junak, or courage.” ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes This book is a masterpiece of mythological insight and should be read by all people, but especially women. It takes the reader through wise fables, parables, legends, and myths while interpreting it through a feminine, eco-conscious lens of “deep knowing” that mystically reveals how all things can be connected through the power of human stories. Particularly poignant is the following wise alliteration of spiritual advice – forego: leave it alone; forebear: abstain from punishment; zaboraviti: refuse to dwell; and forgive: abandon the debt. Pinkola Estes-udari srce ženskog stanju, a također kuckanje kamen ljudskog stanja, by revealing the elusive philosopher’s stone of deep Truth in balance with the human soul. Kroz divlje znajući i svete mitotvorstvo, ova knjiga je melem za mnoge rane svojstvenu ljudskom stanju, i duhovna blagodat za religiozno zbunjena. Divlja žena (La Loba, Wolf Žena) ima puno toga za naučiti žene, a kamoli ljudi. Kao Clarissa Pinkola Estes-savjetuje u knjizi, "Budite nostalgičan za divlje znajući." Konačna i beskonačna igre James P. Carse "Ova neprestana promjena ne znači diskontinuitet kao osobu; a promjena je sama sam temelj našeg kontinuiteta kao osobu. It is because I cannot see what you see that I can see at all.” ~ James P. Carse Ova knjiga je sažet i stezanje istraživanje ljudskog stanja vidi kroz prizmu jedinstvenog okusa teorije igara. Carse uvodi dvije kontrastne igra igrača: Konačni Player i Infinite igrača. He explains how “a boundary is a phenomenon of opposition (konačan). A horizon is a phenomenon of vision (bezmjeran)." The spiritual undertones are exemplary, and a kind of sacred humor is felt throughout. The Finite Player plays within boundaries, while the Infinite igrača plays with boundaries. The Finite Player plays in all seriousness, while the Infinite Player plays in jest. The Finite Player plays for power, while the Infinite Player plays with power. The Finite Player consumes time, while the Infinite Player generates time. The Finite Player aims for eternal life, dok Infinite igrača u pohodu na vječni preporod. Za konačnih Player, pravila igre uvijek ostati ista; dok je za Infinite Player, pravila igre moraju promijeniti kako bi nastavili igrati. Za konačnih Player igra neminovno završava, dok je za Infinite Player igra fenomenalno i dalje. Jedini pravi beskonačna igra se igra života. PHI: Voyage iz mozga duši by Giulio Tononi "mutne misli, kao i mutnih voda, može služiti samo dvije svrhe: sakriti ono što se nalazi ispod, što je naše neznanje, ili kako bi plitki čini duboko "-Giulio Tononi Ova knjiga vodi čitatelja na putovanje mijenjaju um kroz prirodu svijesti. To se isprepliću znanost, umjetnost, i maštu sa zlatnim omjerima, Fibonacci sekvence, i Fractal kozmologija. Čitatelj je radost doživljavanja svijeta kroz takve majstora kao što su Galileo, Alan Turing, Darwin i Francis Crick, između ostalog. Od neuroznanosti u pseudoznanosti, iz duboke introspekcije do Svjestan meditaciju, Tononi razjašnjava kako je svijest razvija, ever-deepening awareness of ourselves as finite, spiritual beings in an infinite universe. We learn how consciousness is integrated information and how the power of that integration requires the utmost responsibility and credulity. It teaches how the brain is the seat of our perceptions, and is a creative force par excellence, and can even create new shapes and new qualia and how, by growing consciousness, the universe comes more and more into being, and synthesizes the one and the many, the ego and eco, the individual and interdependence of all things. A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle “When the creative power of the universe becomes conscious of itself, it manifests as joy. You don’t have to wait for something “meaningful” to come into your life so that you can finally enjoy what you do. There is more meaning in joy than you will ever need. The “waiting to start living” is one of the most common delusions of the unconscious state. Expansion and positive change is more likely to come into your life if you can enjoy what you are doing already, instead of waiting for some change so you can start enjoying what you do.” ~ Eckhart Tolle This is the self-improvement book to end all self-improvement books. Capitalizing on the monumental success of his book The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle takes the reader on a spiritual journey on how to create happiness without material possession in the present moment. According to Tolle, the book’s singular purpose is “not to add new information or beliefs to your mind or to try to convince you of anything, but to bring about a shift in consciousness.” He is intent upon instilling a mindset of honest self-evaluation and puts forth a concept of “evolutionary transformation of human consciousness” in order to change the way human being’s perceive reality. He proceeds to vivisect the ego, and from the carnage rises the unvanquishable soul of the human condition, which is eternally present and thus forever joyful in the moment. This book teaches, iznad svega, how important it is for human beings to create and to cultivate meaning in the here and now. Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche “Belief in truth begins with doubts of all truths in which one has previously believed.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche This book is arguably Nietzsche’s magnum opus. It is incredibly well-crafted, and turning the human soul inside out seems to be its main objective. If the reader is open enough to receive it, the message of self-overcoming is well-received. Otherwise it loses readers in a sea of mystical but entertaining highfalutin. It has everything from the death of God to the rise of the primordial Nadčovjek to themes of “eternal recurrence.” It possesses a unique experimental style, sang in poetic dithyrambs narrated by the books protagonist and instigator, Zarathustra. It’s neither prose nor poetry, neither non-fiction nor fiction, but subsumes it all, nekako, rising above the typical. Ona razbija sve književne pravila, ali izlazi mirisna kao buket ruža netko postavio na Božje grobu. Nietzscheova elegantan i dalekosežne zaključak je da, dok autonomija i samo-nadilaženja nije lako postići, njihova odsutnost dokazuje katastrofalne za oba pojedinca, kultura, i svijet, kao međuovisnosti (self-prevladavanja u zajedništvu sa svemirom) ne može se postići bez slobode neovisnosti (individuacije) iz codependency (dogmatizam). Kao što je Nietzsche se izjasnio, "Molim vas, moja braća, ostati vjeran zemlji, i ne vjerujte onima koji govore da vas u zagrobni nada. Priznanja Zen i umjetnost održavanja Motocikl Robert M.
