Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

This is outrageous free online downloadable book about the Great Work of Enlightenment. I have read many and this one speaks to me more intimately – it portraits the consciousness & meditation territory in a language my Soul is vibrating on. It’s really not a usual meditation book, it talks very differently about many well-known esoteric topics and that’s why I like it. The more time I have invested into the practice and reading of Enlightenment Game, the more I am sure, that the general conclusion is widely lost.
I like how Daniel Ingram describes it interestingly in his 400 pages book. And the practice techniques are awesome!

You can download the book for free at his website – Interactive Buddha.

Or you can buy print copy at Amazon:

Here are few reviews from Amazone, that tell you more:

I can say with extreme confidence that if you read this book, put its principles and techniques into practice and have a clear aim at making progress in your meditation practice, you will be amazed at how quickly you can make real and lasting progress. This book excels at the specifics regarding insight meditation practice (with enlightenment as its goal) and the states and stages related to concentration practice (with unusual and profound states of consciousness as its goal). It also excels at deconstructing the various confused models and misperceptions that spiritual practitioners often have regarding enlightenment.

So, if you’re interested in down-to-earth, practical dharma, and want a clear guide on how to master the core teachings of the Buddha this is the book for you. If you’re looking for coffee table dharma or feel good, new-age fluff, then I would suggest something a little less hardcore.

Of the countless reasons that you should read this book, I offer the following three:

1.) Many books about meditation leave out important information about the sequential stages one will likely (dare I say “inevitably”) encounter in their practice. The ups and downs in one’s practice can be severe, which causes many people to get stuck, and maybe leave the practice all together. Daniel breaks down what one may experience on their journey, and gives very practical advice on how to navigate the territory.

2.) This book clears up a lot of confusion around the goals of meditation practice, particularly what it means to be enlightened (or “awakened”, etc.). By supplying an extensive list of the various models of enlightenment that are used by various contemplative traditions, one may comparatively examine them and get a good idea of what is true and what is false in regards to the process and goal of awakening.

3.) Daniel is brutally honest. He is fully aware that calling himself an Arahat is likely ruffle many feathers. But, it is my impression that he wouldn’t make the claim if he didn’t believe with his entire being that it is beneficial to others to do so. By explicitly detailing his particular attainments and how he was able to gain mastery of very specific techniques, he provides hope to those who also believe that it can be done.

I can say with complete honesty that after reading and applying the basic practices in this book, my meditation practice deepend beyond what I knew was even possible (and still is). I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am to have read it, and how hopeful I am that it will continue to benefit others.

If you want to learn meditation with the goal of attaining earth shattering insight in to the nature of your identity and the universal characteristics of the whole of reality, than this book is for you.

A Beginner’s Guide to Constructing the Universe

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

In the document Magical Egypt, I have recommended in the previous post, they highly recommend a book with a more detailed introduction to the sacred geometry:

I will leave reviewer’s voices to speak lovely about this masterpiece:

Who knew that our universe is such a spectacularly ordered place? Michael Schneider takes us on a fantastic voyage through the primary numbers one through ten, and shows us how numbers and geometry have helped shape our world and the cosmos. Why is a manhole cover round? Because a circle, whose diameter is everywhere equal, is the only shape that won’t fall into its own hole. Three symbolizes harmony — life has a beginning, a middle and an end. Life forms are often characterized by pentagons (cut an apple in half crosswise and look at the seeds), while six is the number of structure-function-order, as seen in the hexagonal symmetry of crystals and snowflakes. This book is by no means for math majors only; even math dummies like this reviewer will find themselves totally caught up. Art and design students especially will appreciate the almost infinite variety of possible designs suggested within each primary number and the basic shapes (circle, square and triangle). Schneider also shows how, with a compass, pencil and straightedge, one can construct one’s own symbolic universe. I came away from this book not only enlightened on the subject of symbolic math, but blown away by the relationship between geometry and religion. Because reading this book makes one realize that the universe is not random, as we see it within our limited scope, but has a definite function and order, and perhaps only the God who created it according to His plan can see it whole.

This is a very well written book that relates some basic concepts in geometry to science, architecture and life. Each of the ten chapters is about a geometric shape and Mr. Schneider shows how to construct it using only compass and straight-edge. The author begins every construction from a circle, and every line is shown as the intersection of two or more circles. This is consistent with his assertion in Chapter One that the circle is Unity, but I believe it is also more accurate geometrically.
Mr. Schneider gets into the Platonic Solids, explains the golden section and its use in architecture and nature, shows the regularity in nature and a lot more. This is a very educational book that covers a lot of ground, and does so in an entertaining way.
What I really like about the book is the author’s ability to bring geometry to life. There are many diagrams, drawings and pictures which make it easy to follow the text.
The book is written for the layman, not the mathematician. If you are looking for a more rigorous introduction to geometry, try reading H.M.S. Coxeter (if you can!).
This book would be a nice companion to “The Power of Limits” by Doczi, ‘The Geometry of Art and Life” by Ghyka, and “The Divine Proportion” by Huntley.
If I had to recommend only one book about geometry for the average reader, this book would be my first choice.

The Hand-Sculpted House

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

If one book about a cob (clay, sand, hay) houses, I would definitely pick this one:

The book is full of philosophical content about the broad self-sustainability topic. This is exactly for me, because I need these higher-thoughts in the book, I am not only materialistic person looking for a technical manual about cob buildings (many books are providing this). This book is full of theories about house being the sacred place for your Soul, the building process being the process of understanding to yourself and getting embedded into the Nature and similar. I highly recommend this book.

Here are some reviews:

I paid full price for this book at a retail Book store (I wish I had bought it here!). I have 2 other books on cob building also (Becky Bee’s “The Cob Builders Handbook” – Which I highly recommend also & Michael Smith’s “Cobbers Companion”, I also recommend but Becky’s, I feel is the better of the two.) However, THIS book stands out considerably. It is the MOST awesome book on cob building. It has wonderful photographs & drawings including additional privacy courtyard/outside ideas etc. There is nothing out there that can compare to this book to spark ideas and show the beauty, versatility & many options & benefits one has in cob building. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has even a slight interest in earth homes/cob building. If you are very interested in this or a related subject(straw bale etc.) you will LOVE this book!

For your inspiration, edification, and step by step hands-on & how-to, this book just can’t be improved upon. Long checklists to help you choose the perfect piece of land and how to situate the location of your home. A tutorial in using passive solar to heat your house. How to design its interior to embrace you, find your materials as inexpensively as possible, gather your tool kit (what’s essential, what’s not), test the soil you have, make cob samples and evaluate them. Starter projects such as walls, benches, and stoves. Mixing techniques, building techniques, finishing techniques. The history of cob, the durability of cob, a trouble-shooting guide. How to make your own paint, make your own floor, insulate, remodel the house if you want to, where to put the wiring, every practical detail is included as well as the philosophical… you will find inspiration on every page. Countless examples and real life stories are included, as well as color photographs of cob structures all over the world. This book doesn’t just critique the current system, it shows you a way out!

The Master Game

the master game book ropp

You like thought provoking books, don’t you? Drinking from another cup of someone’s illusionary perspective. Here’s a tip for a good drink ;)

Years ago de Ropp wrote a useful and clarifying book on the subject of life paths called The Master Game. This is a very good book for youths who wish to examine their motivations and the deep desires and goals that influence their creation of lives that conform to (hopefully) their greatest ideals. Power, fame, wealth, family life, wisdom, experiences and freedom (jivanmukti) are all legitimate aims. If we make our choices from the handbook we are given by society, and usually our families, we have very limited choices. We do what has already been done, what is always done. This is what makes the world go round, perhaps. The salt of the earth, the propagators of life, the growers of food and new software, inventors, lovers and soldiers make this planet function as it must. These are the salt and the pillars, the men and women of the world.

We all ask, at one time or another, “What do I want to do with my life?”

On the one hand, we all want to do something that matters in some way, that makes a difference, that is meaningful, that is fulfilling. Something that’s worthwhile, something real.

On the other hand, when we phrase the question “what do I want to do with my life?” – and sit with it – it often seems like such a huge, vague, looming, slippery, cloud of fog, like trying to catch a cloud in a milk carton – a frustrating experience.

But one chap, Robert S De Ropp, has offered a few pointers, which might help us get a more sturdy handle on the matter. What follows is a brief sketch of a portion of his message.

The Master Game – Review by LiveReal

De Ropp was involved with the early years of the Gurdjieff-Ouspensky teachings.

What life game do you want to play ? This book suggests that there are deeper and more fulfilling options available than the default ones based on money, power or hedonism that education and social conditioning can sometimes provide us with. The master game is a life course involving a systematic attempt to develop self knowledge. Its hazards are not wisely ignored but its rewards are beyond the ordinary also…

I have found De Ropp’s idea of “Inner Theatre” a great help. Our minds seem to set up miniature virtual ego-work laboratories – one imagines oneself in situations and plays out scenes. To him this is an aid to knowing oneself. I still remember the feeling of grand adventure through seeking deeper awareness this book wafted my way.

The Master Game – Amazon shop

It’s interesting for me to read Ropp’s connection to Grudjieff, who’s personality I presented few days ago. Synchronicities are such a fun ;)

Souls of Distortion – Online Book

Monday, February 8th, 2010

spiral fractal pyramid

I am going to read this wonderful online book – Souls of Distortion (I have scanned quickly through it so far).
The topics are: connection of spirituality and since, pyramids, fractals, vibrations, basic law of nature expressed by mathematic, spirals, consciousnes, dna, sound and word vibrations, symbols, ancient texts (bible, vedas) – everything is connected in this world and everything has the same simply perfect logic coded inside, we are just one part of the whole, we are expression of the same force that created everything around us. That’s why we need to copy Nature laws in eating and everyday doing if we want superious life, full of love, joy, harmony, consciousness, health and happiness. Simple as that, learn the rules and you’ll be enlightened, transformed!
This should be teached at the schools and we would be all living in the Nirvana here&now. Amen

The transformation on Earth is supposedly to have started somewhere in the eighties of the previous age and should culminate around 2012.

When I first heard of such claims I dismissed them out of first hand, you will probably too if this book is the first one you read about the subject!

After reading and studying a lot of material that supports these claims, I’ve lost a lot of my scepticism and have come to believe that we live in a very special lifetime indeed. The topic itself vibrates with my core being. For as long as I can remember I have felt that things could be so much different in our world and it has finally brought me to write this book. It’s my little contribution to a better world by sharing this information with you in a world that needs it so badly in these troubled times.

This book is not about ‘the end of the world’, the ‘Apocalypse’; on the contrary, it’s about the end of the old world that you and I know today and the birth of a brighter new one.

As the author writes – I wasn’t believing many months/years, but slowly, the more informations I collect about this topic, I can’t believe how stupid and sceptical I was – this is the system’s influence by the way, this is normal that you are sceptical to these things, because the system has domesticated you – you need to see through this manipulation and try to get informations about these topics and connect the dots.

Here’s the book – Souls of Distortion (click the Next buttons at the bottom for reading it whole).

I invite you to use your intuition as well when you absorb the material discussed within this book. Many of the things you’re about to read in this book are not easily accepted by our materialistic brainwashed minds. In the Western civilized world we’ve come to rely only on scientific facts (left brain male logic), whereas in the East it is said to be true if it is personally experienced (right brain female intuition). I invite you to use both and find out what’s true for you!

I can perfectly imagine you’re very sceptical about the subject of this book and the things you’re about to read. Scepticism is a sound mechanism while evaluating new concepts. However I’d like to give you also the suggestion that scepticism may be used as a defence mechanism by the ego to protect us from being wrong. By being a sceptic we accept the world as it is, it is a safe haven, a status quo. If we don’t let in any new beliefs, we cannot be affected in our core existence and can go about our business as usual. Sceptics are often in good company since they join the masses. However scepticism may also be a hindrance that stops us from learning. It takes courage to allow yourself to ponder the new concepts in this book. In this respect this book is not an easy read and it will require an open mind.

And here are other on topic websites:
Spiral
Return to the Whole (seems like another very interesting online book)
Integral Dynamics many interesting videos

“it is hard to avoid the conclusion that we are looking at one of nature’s most basic pattern-forming processes . . . [and seeing] the hidden and harmonious order built into body and mind, as it is built into every flower and leaf, mirrored by the crafts, and echoed by music . . . .”

This picture is beautiful example of how to see the spirals in everything. They are not only connected to the visible things, but they are the core of everything, even of our spiritual development. Seemingly, you feel sometime you are going in the circles – you eat macrobioticly, then you stop and overeat for a while; you meditate intensively, or you do some sport and then you stop and these periods changes like a clockwork – if you think you are going in circles, you are wrong. These changes, these periods, your whole life advancement/declinment is one big spiral. You are still going up or down in this spiral, this is the point. It’s up to you if you are making your spiral rolling up or down. Eat healthy, meditate, be physicaly active, learn new things and you can be sure that your spiral is going up ;)

Ken Wilber

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Ken connects yin/yang perfectly for me. He is great Taoist thinker. It will enhance your knowledge about the (non)dualistic world how the macrobiotic also perceives it.

Ken Wilber is the most widely translated academic writer in America, with 25 books translated into some 30 foreign languages, and is the first philosopher-psychologist to have his Collected Works published while still alive. Wilber is an internationally acknowledged leader and the preeminent scholar of the Integral stage of human development, which continues to gather momentum around the world. His many books, all of which are still in print, can be found at Amazon.com. Some of his more popular books include Integral Spirituality; No Boundary; Grace and Grit; Sex, Ecology, Spirituality; and the “everything” books: A Brief History of Everything (one of his largest selling books) and A Theory of Everything (probably the shortest introduction to his work). Ken Wilber is the founder of Integral Institute, Inc., the co-founder of Integral Life, Inc., and the Senior Fellow of Integral Life Spiritual Center.

Read many of his awesome articles here (if they have FREE icon, you can read them without subscribing).
Check out his personal website too.

And I would suggest, to get better know his style, start reading this article – Always Already: The Brilliant Clarity of Ever-Present Awareness.

On another topic, if you have serious illness (cancer), we you are faced with death (and who isn’t), definitely check out this book of him!! It’s completely life changing book and it will leave you fearless and accepting all the life can offer, even the death.

Many interviews with Ken and his deep knowledge at Shambala.com.

Gregg Braden

Brilliant and insightful…I see Gregg Braden as one of our great visionaries.
—Dr. Wayne Dyer, author of The Power of Intention

Gregg Braden is a rare blend of scientist, visionary and scholar with the ability to speak to our minds, while touching the wisdom of our hearts.
—Dr. Deepak Chopra, author of How To Know God.

New York Times best selling author Gregg Braden is internationally renowned as a pioneer in bridging science and spirituality. Following a successful career as a Computer Geologist for Phillips Petroleum during the 1970s energy crisis, he became a Senior Computer Systems Designer for Martin Marietta Defense Systems during the last year of the Cold War. In 1991 he was appointed the first Technical Operations Manager for Cisco Systems where he led the development of the global support team that assures the reliability of today’s Internet. For more than 22 years, Gregg has searched high mountain villages, remote monasteries, and forgotten texts to uncover their timeless secrets. To date, his work has led to such paradigm-shattering books as The Isaiah Effect, The God Code, The Divine Matrix and his 2008 release, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits. Gregg’s work is now published in 17 languages and 27 countries and shows us beyond any reasonable doubt that the key to our future lies in the wisdom of our past.

Bruce Lipton – The Biology of Consciousness

Thinking beyond the genes

We all somehow “know” that the mind/body connection is key to real health. Are you tired of trying to find the words that describe how the mind and body are related, and why their relationships are important for proper health?

A renaissance in Cell Biology now provides the cutting edge science – real science – to prove how holistic health therapies work! Research scientist Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., introduces a long-awaited paradigm shift in the biomedical sciences. The new science will inspire your spirit, engage your mind and challenge your creativity as you comprehend the enormous real potential for applying this information in your life and in your profession.

Bruce compares the evolution of the cell to that of humankind; clearly demonstrates that much of our technology is in direct imitation of Nature’s designs for cell structures. The myths of genes vs. the magic of membranes. Case made that it is not our genes, but our environment, and our perception of the environment, that ultimately regulates our health and behavior.

Based upon his research at Stanford University, Dr. Lipton’s most recent research publications on the regulation of cell behavior have yielded insight into the molecular basis of consciousness and the future of human evolution.

Jim Merkel – Radically simple

Movie and book about simplicity, permaculture, sustainable living.

http://www.jancannonfilms.com/radsimstills.htm

We must know first that our acts are useless, and yet we must proceed as if we didn’t know it. That is a sorcerer’s controlled folly. —Don Juan

If we live like there is no tomorrow, we will create just that – no tomorrow. It comes down to, “If not me, then who? If not now, then when?” At some point, we will have no other choice but to make our stand.
