Radical Nature: Rediscovering the Soul of Matter22 reviews
Christian de Quincey

Invisible Cities Press Llc, 2002

Radical Nature is radically enjoyable by H. Crowe
When I read this book, I rushed over to Amazon and bought Christian de Quincey's other book Radical Knowing. I totally agree with his witty critique of "physics envy" . . . Consciousness is not a sub-atomic virtual energy field although, as he correctly points out, it is the experiencer of energy, of vibrations, of fields, and waves. His slogan "Consciousness knows. Energy flows" says it ... 		  
  







  
  
Breath by Breath24 reviews
Larry Rosenberg

Shambhala, 1999

Anapanasati in plain English
Breath by Breath is an outstanding and seamless synthesis of interventions and talks that Rosenberg held about the Buddhist sutra (i.e., text) on the 'awareness on breathing' during his thirty-year teaching experience at Vipassana retreats and courses. Rosenberg style is plain and direct and his personal anecdotes make this fundamental teaching even more vivid and present for both beginners and ... 		  
  







  
  
Disclosing New Worlds: Entrepreneurship, Democratic Action, and the Cultivation of Solidarity11 reviews
Charles Spinosa, Fernando Flores, ...

The MIT Press, 1999

Philosophical Exploration of the Fundamental Principles
Disclosing New Worlds is a philosophical exploration of the fundamental principles that underlie entrepreneurial activity, democratic action and the cultivation of solidarity. Through a number of real-life examples, it shows how excellence in these three domains of social activity is brought about-not with a detached, rational deliberative stance, but with intense involvement in the practices of ... 		  
  







  
  
The Philosophy of Schopenhauer17 reviews
Bryan Magee

Oxford University Press, USA, 1997

If you only study one philospher...
Perhaps the most unjustly neglected philosopher in the western world. I would hope this very readable introduction will encourage more people to take up the study of this great thinker. Bryan Magee, as usual does, what many professional philosphers are unable or unwilling to do: he makes philosophy accessible to almost everyone. While I haven't found Schopenahuer's writing all that difficult, ... 		  
  







  
  
Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals12 reviews
Immanuel Kant

Harper Perennial, 1965

Cornerstone of Modern Ethical Thinking
'Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals' by Immanuel Kant is easily the most important work devoted exclusively to thinking about morality in the history of Philosophy, especially considering it's size. The cornerstone of the work, and the end result of Kant's analysis is the categorical imperative which says that a moral law are only those for which you can state should be true of all ... 		  
  







  
  
Gift from The Sea107 reviews
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Hogarth, 1985

A Joy Forever
What more can be said about this lovely collection of thoughts? Even as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is as fresh as the day it was penned. This book is a keeper if ever there was one, a volume to be read and re-read and handed down to one's children, which is what I intend to do with the most recent Gift from the Sea that I bought. 		  
  







  
  
Spirits' Book29 reviews
Allan Kardec

Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 1942

Right book, wrong version
Amazon, are you listening? I originally read this book in French and really loved it. It is a wonderful book for those searching for the meaning of life, spiritual truth etc...and is a very serious, credible work by someone whose main line of work was scientific study and medicine, Allan Kardec. I was so thrilled that I ordered copies in English for friends and was disappointed to find out ...

If you love The Course in Miracles, Conversations with God, Disappearance of the Universe, The Power of Now or the Way of Mastery, The Convoluted Universe Vol 1 and 2 are mind blowing. Her specialty is as a record keeper for our time of all of the mysteries in life and she has record kept quite nicely through her regression therapy with thousand of individuals over a 20 ... 		  
  







  
  
Key Master (Dorothy Surrenders Books)19 reviews
Peter Anthony

Nazca Plains Corp, 2007

Spiritually and Politically Insightful
As a blind man, I found Peter Anthony's book, Key Master, to be marvelously descriptive. My spirit was re-awakened by the crafty ability of the conjoining of the spiritual and political realms. Anthony's uncanny clues regarding our current geo-political quandry leave you questioning the status quo. This story is about unconditional love and compassion surpassing anything I have read of late. Each ... 		  
  







  
  
The Golden 12: Universal Rules for Achieving Success20 reviews
Herbert Harris

Da Capo Press, 1999

All you need is Desire
I have read many many books in my lifetime, but this one at first seemed like just another good read. In the middle of the book I read about having desire and how you should measure desire and it has literally changed my life. I wake up in the morning understanding that if I want or desire the changes or results in my life bad enough things will change. Most say they want to be successful, but ... 		  
  







  
  
Voice of the Silence8 reviews
H.P. Blavatsky

Kessinger Publishing, 1942

The Verb of the Logos
This book is an authentic treatise about the many stages upon the ancient, universal initiatic path into the mysteries. His Holiness the Dalai Lama recommends this arcane book on the back cover of the book itself. This book can be easily misunderstood or not understood at all. What one needs is the keys of the path, the factors of the revolution of the consciousness. Otherwise, how can we ... 		  
  







  
  
It's a Meaningful Life : It Just Takes Practice9 reviews
Bo Lozoff

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2001

Bo's books keep getting better
Bo's latest is even clearer and more poignant than his earlier books. In this latest spiritual guide Bo provides insight and valuable complementary exercises to make the reading all that more powerful and effective. What truly amazes me is how Bo can keep writing with such relevance and power and yet never repeat his earlier books (which I also felt excelled in relevance and power...). ... 		  
  







  
  
Schopenhauer: Prize Essay on the Freedom of the Will (Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy)11 reviews
Schopenhauer

Cambridge University Press, 1999

A powerful examination of free will and determinism
For those who are convinced that determinism has been refuted (ie. Popper, Sartre, Kierkegarrd) it is quite obvious that they haven't read this essay because if they had they might put their own presuppositions about the validity of free will into question. Schopenhauer does a fantastic job at dissecting the concept of the 'freedom of the will' by first showing that it cannot be proven from ... 		  
  







  
  
Cosmos, Chaos, and the World to Come, 2nd Edition9 reviews
Norman Cohn

Yale University Press, 2001

introductory, brief, excellent
This is an elementary introduction to ancient religion, focusing on the issues in the title: cosmos, chaos, and the world to come. It considers ancient Egyptian religion, Mesopotamian religion, Vedic religion, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, and very early Christianity--all extremely briefly, focusing only on the issue of the cosmic struggle against chaos, and the development of the apocalyptic ... 		  
  







  
  
Creative Evolution7 reviews
Henri Bergson

Dover Publications, 1998

the opus of the advocate of vitality....
Despite Lord Russell's criticism that "intuition works best in bats, bees, and Bergson," in this work Bergson not only finishes the uprooting of the Western and Platonic disembodied intellect (a deconstruction taken only so far by Kant), he presents us with the spectacle of unbridled life creatively shaping, not only its world, but itself in accord with its own telos: the need for eyesight ... 		  
  







  
  
The Wandering Peacemaker8 reviews
Roger Plunk

Hampton Roads Publishing Company, 2000

The Wandering Peacemaker
Roger Plunk began a lifetime of wandering as a child. He did stay put long enough as a young man to earn two law degrees, then he began working for the U.S. State Department. He learned that his calling was to be a mediator and that he had the ability and desire to work for peace one-on-one with world leaders. The Dalai Lama was the first to utilize Plunk's special talents. In The Wandering ...

F. Holmes Atwater, Joseph McMoneagle, ...

Hampton Roads Publishing Company, 2001

AN INSIDERS VIEW OF ACTUAL RESEARCH BEYOND THE PHYSICAL!!
This perceptive man who had all kinds of "coincidences" since youth, can teach us alot about life in other dimensions while still in this physical body, government involvement in early "psychic" programs like STARGATE that Skip was involved in working closely with Stanford Research International and the prime scientists there on the subject. And what an interesting, down to earth description of ... 		  
  







  
  
Person and Being (Aquinas Lecture)8 reviews
W. Norris Clarke

Marquette Univ Pr, 1993

After all these years
Father Clarke was my teacher for in several courses at Fordham in the 1950's; I obtained a minor in Philosophy. He also was a spiritual advisor to me in a time of personal difficulty over matters of faith and belief. Finally, he was the most intelligent, modest and gentle man I can remember. If I had listened to him in 1958/9, I would have saved myself much grief, lapsing from the Church for 35 ... 		  
  







  
  
Difference and Repetition (European Perspectives: A Series in Social Thought and Cultural Criticism)8 reviews
Gilles Deleuze

Columbia University Press, 1994

Deleuze wasn't messing around here, seriously.
Many people consider this to be the cornerstone of Deleuze's body of work, and in many ways it is. In many ways it is also invaluable, and perhaps the most significant piece of philosophy to emerge in the last half-century (though I don't think so, but I also don't think we're ready for this book yet, so I await Deleuze's Kojeve eagerly). Difference and Repetition is a front to back ... 		  
  







  
  
The Great Chain of Being: A Study of the History of an Idea7 reviews
Arthur O. Lovejoy

Harvard University Press, 1976

Tired of post-modernist trendier-than-thou claptrap? This one's for you.
I'm not going to review this work as much as recommend it. They simply don't make scholars like Lovejoy anymore. I remember reading this as an undergrad in the 80s (bought to supplement my summer reading) and found it a most refreshing read compared to most of the trendy post-modernist "see-how-clever-I-am" works a la DeMan, Foucault, Derrida and their epigones that were de rigeur at the time. ...
