Exploring the Universal Oneness

Anyway, a great deal of inspiration is coming out of my meditations on "pure silence" and thought I should speak about this incredible "silence" that mystics concentrate on only to hear amazing things:

A great deal of inspiration has come from my meditations on "pure silence" and thought I should speak about this incredible "silence" that mystics concentrate on only to hear amazing things. My main form of meditation is to meditate on that inner "silence" which turns out to be anything but silent! A deafening roar in fact. This is the "Shabd" that lifts one up to higher planes of consciousness. There are so many aspects to the Shabd like so many colors in a spectrum, or sounds throughout the musical scale from a low, rhythmic vibration all the way up to the finest notes of creation. All this from silence? - Yes! If you see how things really work in creation, that is what actually seems to be happening: God creating everything out of silence or nothing. All these galaxies, stars, planets, etc. come directly from intense vibration or gravitationally trapped radiation or light in various frequencies.

Did all this radiation in turn actually come from silence, space, etc. ... ? The direction from which all reality is observed by the universal observer or consciousness residing in each and every being in existence is what actually makes the eternal Oneness come to life with such awesome force that whole universes unfold from it. It is through relativity or the power of "maya" or illusion of perspective that the Oneness becomes the "many" in all its varied forms and expressions. What one would consider to be "nothing" or empty space really is not nothing at all, it is actually the Oneness of All. It is the Universal Wholeness from which all things originate. "Nothing" is the Oneness out of which all things precipitate and crystallize out of and ultimately dissolve back into.

The Mystic Heart: Discovering a Universal Spirituality in the World's Religions by Wayne Teasdale and The Dalai Lama - Editorial Reviews - Amazon.com Review - Author Wayne Teasdale believes that we're entering the "Interspiritual Age," when a new civilization will be formed--a global culture based on common spiritual values. "Such a universal society will draw its inspiration from perennial spiritual and moral insights, intuitions, and experiences," Teasdale predicts. Throughout this ambitious book, Teasdale examines the world's religions and highlights the underlying beliefs and yearnings that will ultimately link humankind.

Nonetheless, Teasdale is also a proponent of spiritual diversity, urging readers to protect and study their own indigenous religions (or in many cases the religions of their childhoods) before rejecting them. In his glowing introduction, the Dalai Lama also speaks to the importance of preserving religions while simultaneously joining forces to create a more spiritually evolved and compassionate planet. In his final chapters, Teasdale offers ideas for cultivating a more spiritual life. Although his suggestions aren't startlingly original ("Gravitate toward silence," "Always leave the door of hope wide open.") they are tried and true and well worth the reader's time and investment. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Publishers Weekly - Teasdale is a sannyasa, or Hindu monk, who also practices Roman Catholicism and serves on the board of trustees of the Parliament of the World's Religions. Here, he proclaims the advent of a new movement toward "interspirituality"--one that claims as its heritage all valid spirituality from any and all faiths. Teasdale distinguishes "spirituality" from "religion," explaining that "Being religious connotes belonging to and practicing a religious tradition. Being spiritual suggests a personal commitment to a process of inner development that engages us in our totality." For the author, religion is a potential means to the greater end of genuine spirituality, which is highly mystical. Teasdale identifies what he considers the main elements of true spirituality and their manifestation in various religious traditions. Although he is Catholic and the book appeals to the unity underlying all traditions, most of his terminology derives from Buddhist and Hindu sources. Teasdale's style is gentle and winsome. Those who disapprove of eclecticism in religion will at least find this a clear presentation to react against, while those who share Teasdale's optimistic vision of the coming age as fostering spiritual unity among diverse peoples will consider the book an inspirational guide.

Oneness: Great Principles Shared by All Religions by Jeffrey Moses - Editorial Reviews - From Library Journal Moses, a freelance writer and advertising executive with a special interest in meditation and stress reduction techniques, draws on his studies of world scriptures to offer this interfaith compilation of assorted verses affirming similar principles, e.g., the Golden Rule. For each of the 28 principles included, Moses begins with brief thoughts of his own (about half a page), then offers a two-page spread of five or six relevant scriptural passages. This is an interesting idea, but the book would be more useful if the passages were identified explicitly as to source, rather than just being designated ``Islam,'' ``Christianity,'' ``Buddhism,'' etc. --Copyright 1989 Cahners Business Information, Inc.

An inspiring and concise introduction to the spiritual truths of India's most beloved scripture, these selections from Yogananda's critically acclaimed two-volume translation of and commentary on the Bhagavad Gita (God Talks With Arjuna) explain the step-by-step methods of yoga meditation and right action to achieve union with Spirit and ultimate liberation.

About the Author - Born in India on January 5, 1893, Paramahansa Yogananda - author of the renowned spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi - devoted his life to helping people of all races and creeds to realize and express more fully in their lives the true beauty, nobility, and divinity of the human spirit. After graduating from Calcutta University in 1915, Yogananda took formal vows as a monk of India's venerable monastic Swami Order. Two years later, he began his life's work with the founding of a how-to-live school since grown to twenty-one educational institutions throughout India where traditional academic subjects were offered together with yoga training and instruction in spiritual ideals. In 1920, he was invited to serve as India's delegate to an International Congress of Religious Liberals in Boston. His address to the Congress and subsequent lectures on the East Coast were enthusiastically received, and in 1924 he embarked on a cross-continental speaking tour. Over the next three decades, Paramahansa Yogananda contributed in far-reaching ways to a greater awareness and appreciation in the West of the spiritual wisdom of the East. In Los Angeles, he established an international headquarters for Self-Realization Fellowship, the nonsectarian religious society he had founded in 1920. Through his writings, extensive lecture tours, and the creation of Self-Realization Fellowship temples and meditation centers, he introduced hundreds of thousands of truth-seekers to the ancient science and philosophy of Yoga and its universally applicable methods of meditation. Today, the spiritual and humanitarian work begun by Paramahansa Yogananda continues under the direction of Sri Daya Mata, one of his earliest and closest disciples and president of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India since 1955. In addition to publishing his writings, lectures and informal talks (including a comprehensive series of Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons for home study), the society also oversees temples, retreats, and centers around the world.

SOULMATE COSMOLOGICAL ACTION: The path to Culminated Soulmate Union, and the Bliss of Cosmic Oneness, bound and centered by the Love of Yahweh. by Henry Monteith - Product Description - Dr. Henry C. Monteith, a mathematical metaphysician, and Erika G. Monteith, a pianist and pedagogue of music, were ordained by Yahweh, from the beginning of time, to culminate their soulmate union and experience the awesome bliss of its oneness enfolded in its light and love. As we emerged from the womb, our first cries were yearnings to find each other in this lifetime because the inevitability of it was ingrained within our subconscious minds. We evolved through the agonies of war and painful inflictions, to our bodies and minds, generated by disease, physiological defects, and man's inhumanity to man. Gradually, as we learned the lessons, taught by our enlightening experiences, our spirits moved closer and closer together. Then suddenly, after 62 years of evolving and searching, we found each other at last! Then the heavens opened; and as the light of Yahweh shined down upon us, it bound us together with its awesome love and ordained that we know the bliss of its oneness forever. In this book we describe the path we followed and the sun-cross we carried to make our personal contribution to the evolution of the cosmos and obtain our crown of eternal bliss. It can only serve as a guide to help you find your unique path along which you must carry the sun-cross for yourself. Soulmate oneness is not a gift that is handed down from heaven, it must be earned by evolving through the agony and the ecstasy of life's experiences.

About the Author - Dr. Henry Monteith was deeply inspired by nature as a youthful farmer. He learned the physical structure of the universe by studying Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics and Mathematics. He realized the spiritual nature of man by studying history, religion, and parapsychology. Finally he comprehended the evolutionary destiny of soulmate pairs, by studying psychic powers, Ufology, and Cosmology. Erika Monteith initially studied in the cellars and bunkers of war torn Germany with bombs falling. She gained admittance to the Heidelberg Music-Conservatory and received a Master's degree as a Pianist and Pedagogue in Music from Germany. She developed new ideas in teaching and created new ways to interchange, transform and adapt classical music to modern music.

From the Back Cover - Who are we? Why are we here? What is our purpose? What lies ahead?

We stand at a pivotal moment in time where mankind stands to expand its consciousness and transcend the holographic illusion of what is considered reality. It is here we find the answers to the questions that have mystified the greatest thinkers throughout the ages.

From the ancient days of Lemuria and Atlantis, "The Manuscript: Awakening into Oneness" takes the reader from our beginnings on Earth -- through our modern day dysfunction, technological dependence, and global imbalances -- and into the year 2012 and the multiple time-lines beyond.

It has been said that information is knowledge and it is mankind who has the choice to turn knowledge into wisdom. Using information from the Bible, the dead sea scrolls, and the ancient mystery schools -- as well as past-life regression, the esoteric arts, and even quantum physics and techniques for transcending reality -- self-empowerment author, Tom Murasso shows how we can make choices based upon the merger of science, spirituality, and the universal principle of the Law of One. Thus, we attain the wisdom necessary to guide us all into multidimensional awareness.

We have always had the answers to the great mysteries of life - it is simply that we have forgotten them. "The Manuscript: Awakening into Oneness" helps us to access our divine heritage, to reclaim our power within, and to consciously create an idyllic future for everyone.

The Science of Oneness: A Worldview for the Twenty-First Century by Malcolm Hollick - Product Description - The Science of Oneness weaves modern science together with experiential, spiritual and cultural knowledge. It presents a scientifically valid vision of reality that is conscious, creative, loving, and purposeful. It balances openness to all sources of knowledge with critical evaluation of their reliability. Each chapter offers experiential activities, thought-provoking questions and guided meditations to stimulate intuitive understanding. It provides a coherent world view for cultural creatives and the holism movement.

From the Author - I wrote this book because I wanted to help make the world a better place. Along the way my life was changed by what I discovered.

After decades studying the issues of environmental destruction, poverty and war, I concluded that the foundations for a better future are missing. We are at a time in the history of civilization when the certainties of the old worldview have disintegrated, and the concrete of a new worldview has not yet set. A key task, it seems to me, is to lay new philosophical and spiritual foundations on which we can build our future. New technologies, policies and laws are vital, but they will fail without strong foundations. Nothing less than radical change in our understanding of the universe, and of the meaning and purpose of life will do.

So I set out to explore what was happening at the cutting edges of science in order to create a coherent picture of the universe and our relationship to it that could form the basis of a more just, sustainable and peaceful future. What I found exceeded my wildest expectations, leading me on a personal journey that transformed my beliefs and life. Rather than the mechanical, alienating, meaningless vision of reality bequeathed to us by classical science, I found a living, conscious, interconnected, meaningful and purposeful universe of which we are co-creators. And I found a vision which resonates strongly with the beliefs and wisdom of many ancient spiritual traditions.

In exploring the emerging worldview, my intellectualism became balanced by an appreciation of experiential, intuitive, spiritual and other ways of knowing. I began to understand the limitations of human knowledge, and to look for ways to test the reliability of what we think we know that complement the scientific method. So the science of oneness is more than a coherent portrait of reality; it is also a holistic way of knowing that comes from personal experience, intuition and an inner sense of rightness as well as from reason and modern science.

My aim was not just to satisfy intellectual curiosity, but to change lives and the world. If this book is to fulfil my aims, it is important that you, my readers engage critically with the ideas presented. Many of the concepts may be new to you, and you may feel ill-equipped to evaluate them. But you have your own life experience, imagination, and conceptual frameworks by which you make sense of the universe. I encourage you to bring all these, to bring your whole self, to bear on the material. Question and challenge it, and reinterpret its meaning where appropriate. Seek what makes coherent sense of the whole of reality, not just its separate parts; and seek what makes sense physically, emotionally and spiritually as well as intellectually. Trust your inner voice, not mine. Remodel your understanding of reality as necessary, and act out of what you learn.

The journey of this book began more than a decade ago. I am not the person I was when I set out. My ideas have evolved and developed, and are continuing to shift. This book is not a set of ideas to be accepted or rejected, but an invitation to join me on a life-long voyage of discovery. At times the terrain is dry, and the going hard and steep. I've focused on key concepts and avoided technical jargon as far as possible, but it's still a rugged journey. But the view from the summit is stupendous, giving new and glorious insights into the nature of the universe, our planet and ourselves; and bringing a new sense of identity and purpose, and a new hope for the future.

Awakening Love: The Universal Mission : Spiritual Healing in Psychology and Medicine by Nicholas C. Demetry and Edwin L. Clonts - Product Description - The authors discovered that a key to healing the fragmentation and unifying the psyche lies in a direct study of the life and teachings of Jesus. Though Jesus lived nearly 2000 years before Sigmund Freud and the giants of the twentieth-century psychology, he demonstrated that he understood the mind and emotions just as keenly as he understood the spirit of man. The authors gained these insights largely under the inspiration and teachings of Stylianos Atteshlis, a Cypriot mystic and healer who is best known simply as Daskalos, or teacher, in Greek.

Through his interpretation of Jesus' teachings, Daskalos showed that an understanding of personality can further this process of healing. The authors have found that this link is clarified and validated by the theories of Enneagram personality type and the structure of the energy body and its chakra centers. These topics, as well as meditation and self-healing exercises are offered in Awakening Love to help the reader unite the human and divine natures in a heart of love.

About the Author - Nicholas Demetry, MD, is a holistic psychiatrist dedicated to the journey of self-realization. He has integrated techniques of both traditional and alternative therapies. He is currently in private practice in Atlanta, Georgia. Edwin L. Clonts, MD, is an associate cllinical professor with the University of Minnesota Department of Family Practice. He practices conventional allopathic medicine in the Twin Cities area, with an emphasis on prevention.

Flowing With Universal Laws: Cosmic Laws, Universal Laws, Subsidiary Laws by Margo Kirtikar - Product Description - Review Flowing with Universal Laws by Margo Kirtikar Ph.D. Hermes Trismegistus said: 'That which is below is like to that which is above.' Or the more popular version 'As above so below,' and what he actually meant with this statement was that 'Cosmic Laws' are valid in our physical world as they are in the higher spheres.

Modern science is well versed in physics and chemistry no doubt. However, modern science does not as yet fully accept the existence of spiritual physics or spiritual chemistry, or the psychic world governed by moral laws. It is not always easy to identify these laws but that is no reason to claim that they do not exist. There is an invisible world out there and our whole life, if we really stop to think about it, is based on things we cannot see. More and more we are becoming aware of the fact that our inner world is governed by a non-physical world. Even if you do not believe in God you cannot fail to recognize that there is an order in nature and consequently there must be an Intelligence which created that order.

According to Initiatic Science there are three worlds: the divine world which is the level of ideas, the psychic world which is the level of thoughts and feelings, and finally the physical world, the world of forms and materialism. Just as we have to obey nature's laws, nature obeys the laws of the Spirit for Spirit commands nature. The material world is linked to the 'moral' world, which in turn is linked to the far higher world of ideas. Ignorance is no defense before the law. Because these moral laws are not written down people think they have the right to do whatever they want. Even if we do not know these unwritten moral laws, those who fail to abide by these laws are considered by society as self centered, egoists or selfish and they will have to suffer the consequences of their actions. Whatever the offence is they will have to pay the price, be it remorse, suffering, bitterness, disappointment, regrets, or money. Everything is connected and related to everything else. So one can never act alone and think it does not concern anyone else. What each one of us does, concerns everyone else.

For us to have a happy and meaningful life we must recognize and accept three major laws: Universal Laws, Moral Laws and Human laws. Just as we have to obey Nature's laws, nature in turn obeys the laws of the Spirit, because Spirit commands nature. The same laws are at work on all levels of existence. For the Universe is one and on every level and at every stage the same phenomena can be found, although always in different more subtle forms. It is said that nature has a memory and nothing can ever erase what it has once recorded. Whatever you find on earth can be found also in water, and whatever is in water exists in air and so forth. All four elements obey the same laws with some differences in the way they apply the laws. Some react violently and others rapidly. For instance man's mind is analogous to air, expressed in ideas and thoughts.

Over and above the physical body, man has subtle bodies: etheric, astral, mental, causal, buddhic and atmic. Reality is that most of us are ignorant of our own structure and composition and of the constant interaction that goes on between human beings and the invisible beings in the other regions of the universe. It is this ignorance which is the cause of all our misfortunes. It is easy to create the future but it is very difficult to erase the past. Good always produces good and evil always produces evil. Some people might think that if one is too kind one can get hurt or if one is too generous one gets taken advantage of. This is selfish thinking. Truth is we can never be too kind, too generous, too loving, too considerate towards others. The universe created by God is an immense world bursting with treasures. How can we go wrong if we followed the guidance of the Intelligence that has so marvelously ordered and arranged such an abundant beautiful world.

Universal Laws are the basic principles of life, which transcend the diversity of individual beliefs and philosophies. These Laws apply to whatever one's individual belief system or philosophy is. When applied correctly the Universal Laws allow anyone to reach their maximum spiritual potential and greatly enhance the experience of our manifestation in the physical. Understanding Universal Laws enables one to see why one's life is the way it is. Universal Laws apply to all and no one is exempt. When one is fully persuaded of this fact, then one can truly create a better life for oneself and become an example to all. Like the pebble dropped in the water the ripple will spread far and wide in all directions affecting positively all it contacts.

To truly know who we are we need to understand our complete human identity, our origin, our direction, our purpose and our duty as humans. Through self-knowledge we can create a state of health in which our spiritual and physical resources are equally active and in balance, and working in harmony toward the same goal.

We are created as multi dimensional beings to experience life and to manifest our true nature and essence, the spirit, through a physical form. Our original home is in the spiritual dimension. Our purpose here on earth as we complete our human journey back to the spiritual dimension, is to develop and strengthen and refine our human qualities which are non existent on the spiritual realm. In other words the earth is our school and training ground and the challenge is to evolve, while becoming completely involved in the physical world without losing awareness of our spiritual identity. From the Inside Flap - About the Book Flowing with Universal Laws by Margo Kirtikar PhD

Cosmic and Universal Laws are described in Holy Scriptures of all religions, in mythology, in fairy tales, in business success literature and allegories that describe the essence and nature of man. We may know them as simple truths, eternal principles, philosophies for living but when we examine them more closely and experience them we will recognize them as divine laws. Universal laws act as guidelines to define the order and structure of creation. Every form of life and every action that occurs in the universe is governed by universal laws. Universal laws do not discriminate. The same principles work for all alike. The existing power of energy can be asserted in the whole of Cosmos. Matter is not applicable as an independent force, because active energies are needed for manifestation. Energies that propel life are called movers of the essence. In all space there is one pulse known as the Cosmos rhythm and all life depends on the cycles of rhythm of the Cosmos. In all cosmic manifestation we perceive psycho life and the highest perception is accessible only to the one who knows the spiritual world. Psychic energy opens all gates.

The physical mind cannot manifest the knowledge of infinity. It is through the psycho dynamic power of spirit that we are able to contact the higher spheres. Understanding universal laws enables us to review and see why our life is the way it is, where we might have gone wrong and how we can amend things. What we need to understand is that no law activates itself, it is we who activate a law of the universe through our thoughts and our actions, individually and collectively. The law does not operate itself. As we have been given the freedom of choice, we can make right or wrong choices. But we have also been given the freedom to correct our mistakes namely, when we break one law and we repent, we can take an alternative action to put things right by activating another law. Universal Laws act as guidelines to define the order and structure of creation. The human being is the highest manifestation of the Cosmos and is a co-Creator predestined as the builder and collector of all treasures of the universe. The power of creativeness responds to the call of the Spirit and the human determines his own destination in the Cosmos. This book is meant to inspire you, to arouse your curiosity and to prompt your own inner personal dialogue.

Together, yet in their own unique way, they are now making steps into a new way of living whereby unconditional love, inner freedom and the joy of living are their highest priorities. If you like to know more about the books, and what moves us take a tour around the previously mentioned websites. Why did we choose \'the other you\' as the name of the author? It is our book, your book and everyone\'s book. It is the mirror being shown to us all. The Other is showing us information about ourselves which we can see and feel. If we can see each other as another me, we will be more loving towards ourselves, the people around us and the situations we find ourselves in. By doing so we create more space for inner freedom and joy in life. That is the driving factor behind our choice not to go with our given names and why we chose "the other you". That it would eventually result in us finding our own self worth and how all that would influence us, we are now discovering. We can materialize something that would result in the Oneness, but first we had to understand that we are on the path of returning to the oneness and that we needed to create those steps that would lead us there. Oneness is often seen as something that you would have to step into and make adjustments. True oneness can only be achieved if you are prepared to speak your own truth. By doing so you can then find out if you are in line with each other and truly create from yours and the others truth. This is only possible if you totally understand your own self worth, and no matter what the circumstances are you always speak your truth. In this case it was with each other, making it possible to look closely at what our task was inside this whole plan, making clear that it came from within not needing any confirmations from the outside. If you lack self worth, you subconsciously look for recognition, compensation and verification from other sources because you were not able to find it inside yourself. Basically what happens is, is that something is stirring inside because you are not speaking your whole truth. When you speak and feel your truth then it is no longer possible to lose your identity and the feeling of oneness is tangible. Should it appear that you are both speaking your truth and you do not seem to be able to agree, this opens up the possibility to part and both to continue on your own journeys. This will create an opportunety for both to grow. By doing this we create space within ourselves for joy and inner freedom.

Returning to Oneness: The Seven Keys of Ascension by Leslie Temple-Thurston and Brad Laughlin - Product Description - A river of light is within each of us. When it flows fully from head to toes, we feel successful, happy, fulfilled and awake to our true nature as eternal, timeless beings. Unfortunately, we often find the river is only a trickle. RETURNING TO ONENESS reveals the limitations that restrict the flow of light in the body and mind and shows us how to awaken more permanently to our full potential by using these simple seven keys, based in the ancient teachings of non-duality: Don't believe in loss or gain; Forgive all betrayals; Not my will, but Thine; Have faith in the support of the invisible realms; View the ego impersonally; Accept your death; and Accept your divinity.

About the Author - Leslie Temple-Thurston was born in South Africa and graduated from the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, with a bachelor's degree in fine arts. With the gift of clairaudience, she was urged by her inner guidance to emigrate during the height of apartheid. In the mid-1970s she moved to the United States with her family. Here she deepened her studies of ancient wisdom through meditation and yogic teachings, and explored the works of the new spiritual psychologies.

In the late 1980s after many years of a transformational inner journey, she experienced a complete dissolution of her old identity and a profound spiritual awakening. With this came the gift of being able to share through her gaze, her hands and her voice a transmission of grace, unconditional love and healing energy.

Since 1988, Leslie has been a mentor and guide to hundreds of spiritual seekers worldwide. Today she continues to offer events throughout the U.S., South Africa and other countries and is dedicated to working closely with groups of people who are committed to transformation and spiritual awakening. She is also the author of The Marriage of Spirit-Enlightened Living in Today's World. Her extensive teachings are available on audiotape and videotape through CoreLight.

Brad Laughlin is the Executive Director of the non-profit organization, CoreLight, which presents seminars on the seven keys, The Marriage of Spirit and offers other transformational events. Brad is a spiritual mentor and travels extensively worldwide leading sacred site tours. He is the co-author of The Marriage of Spirit-Enlightened Living in Today's World. He has a BS degree from Duke University and lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Oneness by Rasha - Editorial Reviews - "There is a higher Source behind this wisdom and it is in every person's best interest to get to know it...to pick up this book and read it, word by precious word." --Ervin Laszlo, author of Science and the Akashic Field and The Chaos Point

Review - "There is a higher Source behind this wisdom and it is in every person's best interest to get to know it . . . to pick up this book and read it, word by precious word." ‹Ervin Laszlo, author of Science and the Akashic Field and The Chaos Point

Product Description - Every now and then a book comes along that is so powerful that words cannot describe the experience people start having when they read it. These rare, life-changing books always seem to show up at the perfect moment in time, exactly when we all need it the most. Oneness is such a book--one that will change your life.

In February 1998, Rasha began a profound dialogue with the universal Presence, "Oneness"--the Divinity we all share. Word for word, she transcribed the principles for a new understanding of the mystery we call "life." These teachings empower us to take a quantum leap into our own inner depths and totally transform our lives--and our world.

Oneness gives humanity an astounding new vision of who we really are--and where we're headed. Here, we discover clues that inspire us to create the kinds of lives we long for and help us release the energies that prevent us from realizing our dreams. We learn to recognize the emotional patterns that undermine our best intensions. And we start to harmonize with the powerful energies building all around us--and with the power of Creation that s driving it.

Oneness speaks in a voice that reaches out to the heart of each of us. The words are personal--and the experience of embracing the understandings they hold is transformational. We come away from the simple act of reading feeling like we've been touched by something indescribable--and holy.

Filled with astounding metaphysical concepts and catalysts for change, Oneness takes us to the outer reaches of our own humanness and to the depths of the Divinity within. Reading it becomes a sacred, experiential journey that leaves the reader empowered with timeless tools for real transformation and a clear roadmap of the inner path to enlightenment.

Oneness by John Greven - Product Description - The intent of this book is to look afresh at ones daily experience, to point to something that the mind may have overlooked. It is not pointing to anything new, anything that you can achieve, or anything you can add to yourself. It is not pointing to the good deeds you have done in your life to emphasize what a wonderful person you must be. It is pointing to something so simple, something so obvious, that when it is pointed out and seen, you wonder how it was ever missed. How is it the mind could have taken something so obvious for granted? How did the mind so easily toss out the valuable jewel in favor of its reflections? You may have been searching for self-realization, enlightenment, the Buddha Mind, God, or some other goal implying the same thing. You may have been searching for many years; or you may just be getting started on a search. Whether you have been travelling a path for a while, or just taking the first step, makes no difference. This book invites you to take a look at the space that has been overlooked, to see what is obvious, and to bring that search to an end. right now.

About the Author - Author of Oneness and The Calling, Rasha awakened to her inner-calling as a messenger of Divine guidance in 1987. She has dedicated her life to addressing the profound spiritual awakening that's the hallmark of these times. Her teachings are universal and do not represent the beliefs of any religion, spiritual movement or guru. An incurable world traveler with an affinity for India and Northern New Mexico, Rasha actively continues to document the teachings of Oneness for future volumes.

The Tao of Physics: An Exploration of the Parallels between Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism (25th Anniversary Edition) by Fritjof Capra - Editorial Reviews - Amazon.com Review - First published in 1975, The Tao of Physics rode the wave of fascination in exotic East Asian philosophies. Decades later, it still stands up to scrutiny, explicating not only Eastern philosophies but also how modern physics forces us into conceptions that have remarkable parallels. Covering over 3,000 years of widely divergent traditions across Asia, Capra can't help but blur lines in his generalizations. But the big picture is enough to see the value in them of experiential knowledge, the limits of objectivity, the absence of foundational matter, the interrelation of all things and events, and the fact that process is primary, not things. Capra finds the same notions in modern physics. Those approaching Eastern thought from a background of Western science will find reliable introductions here to Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism and learn how commonalities among these systems of thought can offer a sort of philosophical underpinning for modern science. And those approaching modern physics from a background in Eastern mysticism will find precise yet comprehensible descriptions of a Western science that may reinvigorate a hope in the positive potential of scientific knowledge. Whatever your background, The Tao of Physics is a brilliant essay on the meeting of East and West, and on the invaluable possibilities that such a union promises. --Brian Bruya

Review - "A brilliant best-seller. . . . Lucidly analyzes the tenets of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism to show their striking parallels with the latest discoveries in cyclotrons." --New York Magazine

"A pioneering book of real value and wide appeal." --Washington Post

"Fritjof Capra, in The Tao of Physics , seeks . . . an integration of the mathematical world view of modern physics and the mystical visions of Buddha and Krishna. Where others have failed miserably in trying to unite these seemingly different world views, Capra, a high-energy theorist, has succeeded admirably. I strongly recommend the book to both layman and scientist." --V. N. Mansfield, Physics Today

"I have been reading the book with amazement and the greatest interest, recommending it to everyone I meet, and as often as possible, in my lectures. I think [Capra has] done a magnificent and extremely important job." --Joseph Campbell

Meditation, Oneness and Physics: A Journey Through the Laboratories of Physics and Meditation by Glen Peter Kezwer - Product Description - An entertaining, informative, and thought-provoking insight into the connections between the sciences of physics and meditation based on the author?s own direct experience.

The first chapter presents the scientific, rational approach to meditation and analyzes this technique in terms of the modern scientific method. Meditation is treated as a science that starts with the observation of the functioning of the human mind and reaches out toward the vision of Oneness where all of creation is seen as one unique existence. The last four chapters deal with the parallels between modern physics and meditation. The last section in each chapter demonstrates how the discoveries of physics both corroborate those that come from meditation and serve as a basis upon which the findings of meditation can expand.

The author also shows the reader how the practice of meditation can be incorporated into his or her own life to bring the benefits of good health, happiness, clear thinking, peace of mind, self-sufficiency, and fearlessness.

About the Author - Glen Kezwer was born in Toronto and holds a Ph.D. in atmospheric physics. Since this time he has studied and practiced the science of meditation, published articles, and taught meditation and its concomitant philosophy. In 1982, he joined the International Meditation Institute in northern India. He has made several speaking tours in India, Canada, the United States, and Europe, lecturing extensively on the scientific approach to meditation.

PSIence: How New Discoveries in Quantum Physics and New Science May Explain the Existence of Paranormal Phenomena by Marie D. Jones - Product Description - Are poltergeists energy fluctuations in the Zero Point Field?

Could even the simple experience of déjà vu be explained by the quantum theory of parallel universes?

Do thoughts have the energy to manifest and move physical objects?

PSIence introduces readers to the latest discoveries in quantum physics and New Science that may explain the existence of paranormal phenomena‹UFOs, ghosts, poltergeists, mysterious apparitions, time anomalies, the Bermuda Triangle, energy vortices‹and psychic abilities such as ESP, telekinesis, remote viewing, and recalling past lives.

You'll explore the cutting-edge ideas that are fascinating both scientists and paranormal investigators, including:

* The latest theories of multiple universes and eleven dimensions.
* The Zero Point Field‹is it the potential source of all creative energy?
* The potential of every human being to experience the paranormal.

Many of the world's leading scientists, researchers, philosophers and spiritual leaders‹from noted physicists like Michio Kaku to the revered Dalai Lama‹are beginning to accept the possibility of alternate realities and dimensions that warp time and space. PSIence takes the reader on a journey to where the "normal" and the paranormal intersect, where the known and unknown converge, where science greets the supernatural.

From the Publisher - PRAISE FOR THE BOOK - "The once hard line between science and metaphysics is becoming more and more blurred. Marie Jones has joined the list of forward-thinking individuals who are taking us to the next level in both science and our understanding of the universe and our place in it." --Jim Marrs, journalist and author of the New York Times bestsellers, ALIEN AGENDA and RULE BY SECRECY

"This is a bold step forward in applying quantum physics to a millennia-old quandary. The theories she offers are insightful and at times startling. Highly recommended for those who are on a quest for answers." --Jeff Belanger, founder of Ghostvillage.com and author of THE WORLD'S MOST HAUNTED PLACES

The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot - Editorial Reviews - From Library Journal - Author Talbot writes that ". . . there is evidence to suggest that our world and everything in it. . . are also only ghostly images, projections from a level of reality so beyond our own it is literally beyond both space and time." Hence, the title of his book. Beginning with the work of physicist David Bohm and neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, both of whom independently arrived at holographic theories or models of the universe, Talbot explains in clear terms the theory and physics of holography and its application, both in science and in explanation of the paranormal and psychic. His theory of reality accommodates this latest thinking in physics as well as many unresolved mind-body questions. This well-written and fascinating study is recommended for science collections. --Hilary D. Burton, Lawrence Livermore National Lab., Livermore, Cal. - Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Physics of the Soul: The Quantum Book of Living, Dying, Reincarnation and Immortality by Amit Goswami - Product Description - At last, science and the soul shake hands. Writing in a style that is both lucid and charming, mischievous and profound, Dr. Amit Goswami uses the language and concepts of quantum physics to explore and scientifically prove metaphysical theories of reincarnation and immortality.

In Physics of the Soul, Dr. Goswami helps you understand the perplexities of the quantum physics model of reality and the perennial beliefs of spiritual and religious traditions. He shows how they are not only compatible but also provide essential support for each other. The result is a deeply broadened, exciting, and enriched worldview that integrates mind and spirit into science.

One of today's pioneering thinkers in science and spirituality, Dr. Goswami taught physics for 32 years, was a professor of Theoretical Science at the University of Oregon, and is currently senior resident researcher at the world-renowned Institute of Noetic Sciences. He is an advocate of "monistic idealism," the philosophy that defines consciousness, not materiality, as the primary reality.
