The Tao Te Ching is a principal text of the ancient Spiritual tradition of Chinese Taoism. It is a compilation of 81 wisdom sayings attributed to Lao Tzu, the old boy/philosopher/Master, written down over two-thousand years ago and which has since undergone hundreds of translations, commentaries, adaptations and applications. Tao Te Ching maxims originally were wise counsel given by Taoist sages to feudal rulers on how to harmoniously and peacefully live their lives, order their states and govern their peoples at a time period in Chinese history of pervasive socio-political conflict and upheaval. The wisdom sayings have become universally meaningful and perennially relevant guidelines for enlightened leadership, Spiritual awakening and Soulful living.The present work is an original rendering of the Tao Te Ching, the title of which is typically translated as The Way Virtue/Power Classic but is here rendered as Spirit Soul Passages. The Ultimate Reality of Tao is interpreted as Spirit and its Virtuosity/Te is interpreted as our embodied Spirit, inner Spirit-nature or Human Soul. The textual maxims and their Soul-journeying commentaries and meditations are considered as some passages we human beings can make on our Soul-journeying from being ego-identified to identifying with/as Spirit and Soul and which are relevant, meaningful and useful for some dynamic-kinetic energetic aspects of Soul-work, Soul-making and the enSouling process throughout our human life course, life cycle and life span.

As the post-modern world lurches toward the disasters and bereavements that signal the end of an age, we turn to myth to comprehend the elemental forces that move through our lives, to know who we are, to understand which stories inform our consciousness. Madness At the Gates of the City, writes Robert Johnson in his introduction, "e;shows how America regularly re-enacts old patterns that cause us to subvert our goals and miss the deeper meaning in events. But by looking at American history, politics and popular culture through the lenses of Greek mythology, indigenous wisdom and archetypal psychology, the author discovers new hope in very old ways of thinking. This book should appeal to anyone interested in myth, Classics, history, psychology or progressive politics."e;

On the 50th anniversary of the Black Panther Party, Pearlman's new book American Justice on Trial: People v. Newton compares the explosive state of American race relations in 1968 to race relations today with insights from key participants and observers of the internationally-watched Oakland, California death-penalty trial that launched the Black Panther Party and transformed the American jury "e;of one's peers"e; to the diverse cross-section we often take for granted today. The book includes comments from Newton prosecutor Lowell Jensen, pioneering black jury foreman David Harper and TV journalist Belva Davis, as well as from Huey Newton's older brother Melvin Newton, former Panthers Kathleen Cleaver, David Hillliard and Emory Douglas. It also includes comments from civil rights experts including Bryan Stevenson, Barry Scheck and John Burris. This book complements the nonprofit documentary project of the same name for which Pearlman is co-producer/co-director on behalf of Arc of Justice Productions, Inc. [www.americanjusticeontrial.com].

Compared to technology, management practices have not really changed much over time. The typewriter and mimeograph machine are artifacts from a lost civilization. Ironically, the way we solve problems, make decisions and resolve issues are also artifacts from that past. The grooves in our brains keep us from embracing new ways of perceing and understanding. Complexity becomes overwhelming when we limit our mental bandwidth this way. Confessions of a Corporate Shaman is about expanding our personal bandwidth. There is a field of greater intelligence available to us. If we embody the parts of a problem and arrange them as a system we can tap into that intelligence and benefit from what we learn. A big problem quickly shrinks. Opaque complexity gains clarity and simplicity. This visual process, powered by the nearly limitless power of the subconscious mind, generates transformative insights and new possibilities. The shaman in some traditions is "e;the one who sees."e; Everyone has this innate capacity. The invitation between these covers is to embark on your personal hero's journey. Whether your challenge is about leading others, leading yourself or trying to understand and resolve the obstacles to organizational change the place to start is within yourself. The compass that will guide you is to be the change you want to see in others. As you explore the inner dynamics that shape your world hopefully you will feel inspired to embrace those dynamics as an essential part of your mission and leadership path.
