From the individual to the universal.

The highly autobiographical poems in this volume are varied in form, tone and subject matter but together they provide an intimate view of the poet's emotional life and sensibility. Zavatsky does not shy away from revealing a full range of feelings, from pre-adolescent and teen-age sexual fantasies to depression and self-pity after a divorce; from disillusionment about an uncle to admiration for his favorite jazz musicians.  He tells us about teaching his third grade class to notice the world around them with "Class Walk with Notebooks after a Storm."  In this poem, images are introduced and layered, so by the end, the poetry of the words hovers above the poem, transcending the words of the story.  And telling a story is what this poet loves to do.  These are not abstract poems that make you struggle to piece together some sort of meaning.  These are stories that communicate, that are so well told that you remember them long afterwards, such as the hilarious yet touching "The Woman Who Danced and Took off Her Clothes, The Woman Who Sang and Cried" and the love scene gone wrong in "Where X Markes the Spot."  If you are any kind of a writer yourself, after you read his poems you find yourself inspired to write about your own grandmother or father or cat -- but I suspect few can write them as simply and eloquently as Bill does.  I highly recommend this book to those who love poetry.

This is my 5th book by Ha Jin. It took awhile to get into it but well worth it. Ha jin is a philosopher in the best sense. He  is striving for his true self and of our  purpose of existence on this  planet brings much thought. We as humans can rationalize everything including our own being. This book allowed me to understand that the human experiences are universal. Thank you for your easy way of simply writing.

This book is the first and biggest step towards a unified and simple theory for morals. After millennia of morals coming from religious myths or barbaric states. It will pass on the responsibility and ownership for your own actions, and to all other moral agents, the Universally part of it.

The meat of it is that truth exists and peaceful negotiations and interactions are always the best answer.
The curtains fall down on how simply we could of said: forceful love making is rape, forceful taking of life is murder, forceful volunteering is slavery, forceful donations is theft, forceful discipline is assault, and so on. This is the Preferable part.

A cleaver reading that is filled with many epiphany's that covers human interaction from box to box. The definitions are laid out perfectly, and the flow of the conversation is continuous. And this ends with Behaviour.

Bon lecture a vous.

Throughout time the Illuminati have constructed the world, but now, thankfully, they seek to change it, for the better of all humankind.
Solomon Tulbure spells out a quite workable plan for the next revolution, the fourth and final, which precedes the third revolution, which occurred during the French and American revolutions in the 17-1800s.
Tulbure describes a new worldwide constitution, the prime directives of The Order, as well as quite a few more interesting and intriguing items, with which the Illuminati will improve our now war, disease and discrimination-ridden world.
On top of that, Tulbure proposes true freedom and human dignity, in the spirit of Objectivism, the philosphy begun by philosopher Ayn Rand.
I am still not sure how having scientists govern everything will work, since most of them I've met lack a great deal of empathy, which I believe should be a requirement for our leaders. After all, our leaders must be able to feel for humanity in order to lead them.
This part can still be worked out, but other than that I give this book two thumbs up, highly suggest reading this book and let the groundwork be laid and the debates begin on exactly how the fourth revolution is brought into being.
Given the current state of society and the wickedness within the church, it is certain that it is time for this positive change.
Cheers to Tulbure. An excellent visionary.

The Universal Wish is an inspiring story of a young woman who knows she has a greater mission in life yet she is uncertain about her path. Her story is one we can relate to when faced with disappointment and rejection. Throughout her journey she has brief encounters with people she meets in life, gleaning cherished nuggets from each one. As she starts to view the world from a different perspective, she eventually comes to understand her purpose in life. This book reiterates the universal law of attraction, "Whatever you are seeking is also seeking you."

I did the 21 day process in India this January 2007.  In reading the book, I really enjoyed learning more about everything that Oneness University is doing and having some more context for what I experienced during the course and for the Oneness Blessing.  I think that anyone who is interested in world peace and global transformation would enjoy learning about what Oneness University is doing.

Professor Emeritus C.A. Lofton has compiled a quintessential paradigm for augmenting the state of the human condition. This author describes how the "energy of thought and the power of words" can shape the reality of our physical existence. Her book an "African-American Guide to Prosperity: A Metaphysical Approach to Empowerment" unveils how ancient spiritual precepts are connected to the universal laws of "cause and effect." The underlying point continually emphasized throughout this text, in my view, is that the whole of creation is governed by certain immutable principles connected to a Divine Source. Scientifically, it has been theorized that everything that exists contains a unique quantum signature which can be traced to some unified cosmic force(Divine Source)associated with the formation of the universe. We can all realign our quantum energies with this Divine Source by altering thought patterns(intentions) and correctly harnessing the power of words(actions) in order to manifest the desired reality. This book takes a simplistic but practical approach with the transmutation of thought into substance on a refreshingly different level. Although written from a unique cultural perspective, this book is ideal for readers from all social strata who have an interest in transforming the quality of their lives through ritualistic practice and positive affirmation. Professor Lofton introduces several personal accounts of how our expectations, thoughts and words directly influence life outcomes. She also has presented 14 key tenets that are instumental in reshaping specific personal habits and eliminating deleterious thought patterns. C.A. appears to understand the singularity between thought, energy and matter. Abstract metaphysical concepts are conveyed in a concrete format. Following the prescription outlined in this highly insightful guide will require great commitment and focused mental discipline. However, the potential gains far outweigh the consequences of inaction. Self-empowerment can ultimately be achieved through controlled consciousness(awareness). C.A. Lofton advocates the acquisition of a successful lifestyle by maintaining a dynamic spiritual philosophy. In addition, this author has developed a set of exercises which can be used to attune ourselves with the universal laws of abundance and prosperity. Therefore, I highly recommend this book as an inspirational tool for personal growth.

This book reads like a real time teaching of Marc Gafni. It seems to be written in one steam of consciousness with the quality of the full realization of the Unique Self by Marc Gafni himself. This book brings you the integration of Integral Philosophy and experiential Evolutionary Mysticism from a Chassidic background for the post-postmodern world. This brings the discussion about Western and Eastern Enlightenment to a next level. It is a step beyond Western Egoic oriented individualism and Eastern No Self realizations. This book honors both by transcend and include them into this Personal Enlightenment teaching. This is not a paradox but a realization of a next level which the world urgently needs. The book elaborates the consequences of the Unique Self for almost every thinkable part of your life, as well as for a lot of important concepts used in Western and Eastern spirituality. In my experience, after reading this book, there is no way back. Reading the book is a transformation in itself.

An excellent reading for those who seek peace and harmony not only for themselves, but also to assist others through the current crisis happening in the world. The author takes one through the internal journey he travelled and shares with us his insights in a clear and easy way. The distinctions presented in the value of opinions, the art of listening, and what is a civilised man, is worth every penny.
What is also of value is the integration of the various ancient and mordern philosophies of the world.
A must reading for all who want to understand about life, and have freedom.

After reading this book, I have come to my awareness that each and everyone is connected with universal energy, which are love, joy and peace.

The title of this book tries to be comprehensive in describing 6 very different public lectures by Rudolf Steiner, the philosopher, scientist, seer and educator who died in 1925.  They are somewhat difficult to read,  but very well worth it.  The titles of the lectures are illuminating:  "Free Will, Immortality";"The Historical Evolution of  Humanity";"The Supersensible Being of Man";"The Nature  of Anthroposophy";The Mystery of the Human Being";The Scinece of  Spirit and the Social Question."  Of all the lectures it is the last  one that may be the most important one for today.  It explains the failure  of Robert Owen's social experiment in New Harmony, Indiana.  To be  practical, Dr. Steiner explains that the main social law must be understood  and followed. The success of civilizations (and ours) depends upon to what  extent people follow this law.

Being married while spiritually transforming is a struggle. One partner awakens to a new world, while the other is asleep in the old world. Like Ali, I too, had to look back on my childhood to begin the transformation. Beginning by visiting family, and with deep meditation.

While reading this book I was taken on an cultural and emotionally charged journey, and witnessed a spiritual awakening through another's eyes, on an another path, with a different culture, however, the desires are universal.

 Ali inspired me to look at poor living conditions with empathy and compassion by understanding their history and why they are possibly "conditioned" to depend on outsiders.

How can someone that is not looking to his own inner strength for survival possibly know that God is within?

This is a story of a man whom God must completely transform in order to draw him to Himself.  Justus is an "Everyman" who must be broken in order to be remade.  It had never occurred to me that someone must have gone on trial for the murders of the children in Bethlehem.  Justus faces his trial, expects death most likely but is only beginning his transformation.  It is a story of someone who after a long and terrible road finally finds his purpose in life and is thrilled at the prospect of the hard work to come.  It is an enjoyable read for anyone interested in not only Biblical times but also Sanhedrin law, which is extraordinary.  To this non-lawyer, it was well presented and easy to follow.
