AfterThoughts (9780557140619)

Gambar
Poetry is utilizing words as raw materials but instead of creating a product that you can touch it is creating a picture, an idea or story in a meaningful pattern. Thus, you are creating a product that you can't physically touch but it touches you...emotionally, you can't see with your eyes but you can visualize in your mind, and poetry has no limits or barriers. It invokes thoughts and powerful feelings in both listeners and readers. Afterthoughts is an autobiography in which poetry is the chosen literary genre. Each poem is a depiction of love found, love lost, heartbreak, hardship, success, inspiration and much more that I have experienced in my lifetime. Product details Format Paperback | 109 pages ...

Der Barbar als Kulturheld : Wie man wird, was man nicht ist. Für eine Ästhetik des Unterlassens. Gesammelte Schriften 1992 - 2002 (3832171495)

Gambar
Bis in die sechziger Jahre wurden nur Vertreter des "künstlerischen Terrorismus" (Richard Wagner) als Kulturhelden gefeiert - so besangen Futuristen Bombenexplosionen; Brandvisionen und Zerstörungsorgien wurden zu Bühnenereignissen. Danach verehrten die Kulturgemeinschaften bombenwerfende Kämpfer, die sich ihrer barbarischen Mittel wegen des großartigen Zwecks, der Verbesserung der Welt, bedienten. Seit 20 Jahren untersucht Bazon Brock den Barbaren als modernen Kulturhelden. Seine Darstellungen sind umso wichtiger, als täglich an vielen Orten von Nordirland bis Palästina systematisch und kontinuierlich solche Barbaren in Aktion treten und als Märtyrer ihrer Kulturen gefeiert werden.

Rest (9781945588105)

Gambar
Rest is a vivid, powerful collection examining the human cost of crossing the border. In 2010, Margaree Little was working for a humanitarian mission near Tucson when, along with a group of volunteers, she found the unidentified dead body of a man, who a medical examiner would later estimate died at least six months before. This discovery serves as the jumping-off point to a stunning, elegiac series of poems commemorating an imagined, unknown life. Anchored by Little's keen eye and unsparing self-reflection, this collection asks us to examine how a single life can affect so many others.

A Lamp to Illuminate the Five Stages : Teachings on Guhyasamaja Tantra (0861714547)

Gambar
Tsongkhapa's A Lamp to Illuminate the Five Stages (1419) is a comprehensive presentation of the highest yoga class of Buddhist tantra, especially the key practices - the so-called five stages (pancakrama) - of the advanced phase of Guhyasamaja tantra. Beginning with a thorough examination of the Indian sources, Tsongkhapa draws particularly from the writings of Nagarjuna, Aryadeva, Candrakirti, and Naropa to develop a definitive understanding of the Vajrayana completion stage. Whereas in the generation stage, meditators visualize the Buddha in the form of the deity residing in a mandala palace, in the completion stage discussed in the present volume, meditators transcend ordinary consciousness and actualize the state of a buddha themselves. Among other things, Tsongkhapa's work covers the subtle human physiology of channels and winds along with the process of dying, the bardo, and rebirth. This definitive statement on Guhyasamaja tantra profoundly affected the course of Buddhi...

David Lazar (9781933480497)

Gambar
What happens when a husband has lived two lives and harbors a deep secret? Robert Kalich blurs the lines between memoir and fiction to tell a timeless story of love and redemption, with a dash of noir. David Lazar is a born and bred New Yorker reflecting on the arc of his life as he composes his memoir. Filled with colorful New York characters--childhood friends, business mentors, wealthy associates, organized crime figures, celebrities, and sports stars--and told by a complex and compelling narrator, the city from the 1950s up to the present comes alive. The Big Apple is Lazar's cradle and his cauldron, and a life like Lazar's is unique to New York City. A professional sports gambler, Lazar is haunted by the immoral nature of the very work that made him rich. His innermost being is shaken as he reimagines the dehumanizing nature of his work and former life. Did he sell his soul to make it? Is there redemption for wealth based on corruption and violence? ... ...

Healing Your Lost Inner Child : How to Stop Impulsive Reactions, Set Healthy Boundaries and Embrace an Authentic Life (9781735444505)

Gambar
Most people don't realize how much unresolved emotional pain they carry around. They don't know why they always feel depressed, anxious, victimized, or disappointed. They wonder why they keep making the same self-sabotaging impulsive decisions. These patterns often stem from their lost inner child, which carries a false narrative that has been on repeat since childhood. The hurt emotions resulting from childhood experiences of abuse, neglect, or trauma show up in adulthood as explosive anger, isolation, bad relationship choices, negative self-talk, feelings of being overwhelmed, being a people pleaser, and keeping others at arm's length. In Healing Your Lost Inner Child, Psychotherapist and Reiki master Robert Jackman takes you on a personal journey to explore unresolved wounds from your early life using the HEAL process for healing and embracing an authentic life. Through stories and exercises, this easy-to-read book will encourage you to learn how to stop giving in to y...
