Wisdom of Alcyon I am Thoth the one from your legends in time. Time is that of a destination a point. A location.Our book is in no linear format this is not our understanding of the universe. Time is fluid so are all things. We do not write how your humanity is taught to read our words are fluid and have a deeper meaning.That was also true of Emerald Tablets that's why so many have different views on the meanings. The fluid is our natural state of being. Energy is fluid. The cover is an interpretation of my spirit in its natural form. Yet again (Fluid)The present writing understandings of the earth come from a failed system. Designed for linear thinking keeping all from knowing the true reality. Always being that of fluid.Creativity is not structured that also is fluid. When you flow, you flow (Fluid) look for a deeper meaning within you as you read.

The long awaited English translation of the fifth volume of the Philokalia. Rich in teachings from the saints about many spiritual virtues and challenges.Translated from the original Greek. The full text!The Philokalia, which means "the love of the good and beautiful", was compiled by St. Nikodemos of the Holy Mountain and St. Makarios of Corinth and first published in Greek in 1782 as an anthology of classic spiritual texts ranging from the 4th to the 15th century. Its rich assortment of edifying literature provides boundless wisdom and guidance regarding prayer, the soul''s ascent to God through grace by its natural "love for beauty", and its struggle to overcome its own passions and fragmentation.

It includes an Exact Rule and Method for Hesychasts, Angelikoudes'' Chapters, full of mystical devotions and meditations on God and man, as well as the profoundly philosophical work On Union with God and the Contemplative Life.

IT WAS THE EARLY 1960s. The place, a far-off corner of the Himalayas long fabled in Tibetan tradition to be hiding a valley of immortality among its peaks and glaciers-a real-life Shangri-La. They waited generations for the prophesied lama to come, the one with the secret knowledge of how to 'open' the Hidden Land. Then, one day, he came. His name was Tulshuk Lingpa.THIS BOOK TELLS THE TRUE STORY of this charismatic visionary lama and his remarkable expedition. Against the wishes of the kings of both Sikkim and Nepal, he and over three hundred followers ventured up the snowy slopes of the third highest mountain of the planet. Their aim: to open a crack in the very fabric of reality and go to a land we would all wish to inhabit if it were only there-a land of peace and concord.FORTY YEARS LATER, the author spends over five years tracking down the surviving members of this extraordinary expedition. He deftly weaves their stories together with humor, wisdom, and scholarly research into Tibetan traditions of Hidden Lands, all the while reflecting on what this means for the rest of us."Like no other book I have ever read...a riveting tale of adventure...honest to the real spirit of Tibet...both unique and intriguing...an engrossing read. Highly recommended."Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, from the ForewordFrom Tulshuk Lingpa's Guidebook to the Hidden Land:"Don't listen to anybody. Decide by yourself and practice madness. Develop courage for the benefit of all sentient beings. Then you will automatically be free from the knot of attachment. Then you will continually have the confidence of fearlessness and you can then try to open the Great Door of the Hidden Place."WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED...If Lewis Carroll had proclaimed the Reality of Alice's Wonderland?What if he had gathered a Following & launched an Expedition?Available in Paperback, eBook, and Audio Book formats!FIRST PUBLISHED BY PENGUIN 201CITY LION PRESS EDITION 2017THIS EDITION IS NOT FOR SALE IN SOUTH ASIA, MALAYSIA, OR SINGAPORE

The body is of course integral to meditation, but there are only a few books that focus this specifically on the body and the meditative experience. Awake Where You Are addresses that need, and additionally integrates psychological concepts, which provides a more familiar entry point for people less familiar with Buddhism.“Embodied awareness is the way back home—intimacy with where and how we are right now, with what is happening and how we are meeting it. My intention is to lead you into the heart of your life. Inside your body, where everything happens—within a quality of listening rather than knowledge, of feeling rather than reaction. This meditative practice is radically transformative.” —Martin Aylward Pulled around by desires and distractions, we’re so easily disconnected from ourselves. Life is happening right in front of us, and within us—but still, we manage to miss so much of it. Awake Where You Are provides the antidote, inviting us to go deep into our own bodies, to inhabit our sensory experience carefully; to learn the art of living from the inside out, and in the process to find ease, clarity, and an authentic, unshakeable freedom.   The practices in the book literally bring us back into our skin, where we can reconnect with a more rich, meaningful, and peaceful life. Aylward writes with sophisticated subtlety, as well as the heart-opening simplicity and clarity born of deep experience.  And this book is more than a meditation guide—it’s a guide to living an embodied life. You’ll learn about the following areas and practices: - Understanding and liberating our primal human drives. Aylward explains how the three primary drives—survival, sexual, and social—function within us, and how we can engage their energy to explore, understand, and liberate them. - Integrating psychological understanding with meditative practice. Awake Where You Are      goes beyond the broad brushstrokes of Buddhist psychology, inviting the reader into an exploration of their own particular psychological history and conditioning. - Investigating the nuances of love. Readers will learn to see the classical Buddhist heart qualities, or brahmaviharas (loving-kindness, compassion, appreciative joy, and equanimity) as distinct flavors of love, and as the natural resting places of a free heart.  “Martin is a marvelous teacher and offers us the refreshing wisdom of an embodied life.” —Jack Kornfield, author of No Time Like the Present

This amazingly simple method from a Tibetan Master can reveal your Soul Path and life purpose for this incarnation. An engaging and informative read, Soul Astrology can help you to get clearer on what you came here to do AND how you'll do it! During the early twentieth century a Tibetan Master who simply called himself "The Tibetan" transmitted a body of work known as A Treatise On The Seven Rays, to an Englishwoman named Alice Bailey. Part of that work was the volume known as Esoteric Astrology. Many students of Esoteric Astrology find it to be complex in it's presentation. In Soul Astrology Ruth Hadikin cuts through some of that complexity so you can access the essential wisdom of the Tibetan Master more easily. This simplified (yet still deeply profound) approach to your birth chart shows you how to use your Rising Sign to easily identify your Soul's Path and determine your life purpose for this incarnation. "Who am I?" and "Why am I here?" are the biggest questions that you will ever ask yourself as you walk though this journey of life. The answers are hiding in plain sight and can easily be revealed through your horoscope. You just need to know how to look, and this book is about to tell you... Drawing upon Esoteric Astrology, the Greek myth of Hercules, and ancient principles from spiritual masters, Ruth Hadikin describes the journey of your Soul through the twelve signs of the Zodiac. For spiritual seekers and lovers of astrology alike, Soul Astrology is a powerful addition to your toolbox for your ongoing journey of spiritual awakening.
