A Commuter's Guide to Enlightenment | Stewart Bitkoff
2008-08-15 07:20:00 During the days of your life,divine breeze will blow,so watch out for them.- Mohammed.'Spirituality' as labeled by the general mass, in the past used to be seeked through austere practices, in the cave of Himalaya or in total seclusion from the samsara (worldly drama). But there is another kind of spirituality that has always been present and available, another kind of 'reality map of understanding what is spiritual' that pervades the ordinary, every day life. Sometime this is called 'Spirituality of the Market place'. A Commuter's Guide to Enlightenment by Dr. Stewart Bitkoff is a book of that genre which helps transform repeated daily activity, experiences of market place into daily meditation of purpose.The author who himself has walked the sufi path, captures this in the book in his quoting a famous sufi saying, "The apparent is the bridge to the real."On the nature of enlightenment the books speaks quite importantly: "In some traditions, enlightenment is attained in one ...

Breeze of enlightenment
2008-06-02 13:28:00 Analysis on dream submitted by Anonymous in Melbourne, Australia.Dream- I was inside a train and sensed it was time to get off. I stood up from my seat and reached into an overhead compartment to get my belongings. I felt a peaceful presence beside me. As I raised the door, I saw a pile of wool mittens. They weren't mine. I sensed a draft before a gust of air sucked me out the door. Part of me knew why. It was a good feeling, like if I didn't take heed, something key would pass me by.Predominant Emotions- anticipation, preparedness, hesitation,- confidence, optimism.Interpretation- As revelations blow in, you may feel someone else has been conducting your symphony. To stand up for yourself, you must realize you engineer your own life. Your free will and innate power shape your decisions and how you pigeonhole yourself. The more you listen ...

Reality vs the multiculturalist left: One’s enlightenment before the
2008-04-28 13:20:00 Mark Steyn provides interesting reading this morning: The Australian columnist Pamela Bone died of cancer this weekend. She was a feminist, an atheist and most of the other -ists you might expect from a western woman of her general disposition (she was a recipient, among many other awards, of something called the “UN media peace prize”). But in her final years she came to see that the Islamization of the west represented a profound challenge to everything she believed in. It began fairly tentatively. She seems almost to be thinking aloud in this piece for the Melbourne Age on the British subjects born and bred who self-detonated on the London Tube: In Melbourne the day after September 11, Muslim students at a state high school danced on the desks with glee. What are these young people being taught by their decent and law-abiding parents? Literature being sold at a store attached to a Brunswick mosque tells Muslims they should “hate and take as enemies” Jews,...

ArtSunday: ??to see and be amazed?: The LIFE and Times of Technology in Ame
2008-03-30 17:06:00 Part one in a series. During its 36-year run, LIFE Magazine traversed a period of technological innovation and peril unsurpassed in the recorded history of humanity. As the first issue was released in November of 1936, a resurgent Germany was constructing the most awesome war machine the world had yet seen, a development that literally threatened the very future of the hemisphere. LIFE?s final issue went to press at the end of 1972, roughly three weeks after NASA?s last manned mission to the moon, Apollo 17, closed the books on a program that proved — theoretically, at least — that humanity was not inevitably bound to this planet. The technological distance between these two moments is mind-boggling. German engineers working on the development of rocketry could perhaps, just barely, envision a trip to the moon, but for most everybody else such an idea remained the stuff of pulp science fiction. Nonetheless, human technology did cover this distance, and it did so in t...

On Knowledge as Power, Enlightenment and Modernist Thinking
2008-03-19 04:28:00 Len over at Next Reformation posted something so good I wished I had posted it. :) I've posted my favorite bits here, but you can read it in it's entirety here if you want. (The words in parantheses are mine)."...and I chimed in with a favorite quote: ?God help me always to seek the truth.. and protect me from those who have found it? attributed to Sir Thomas More. Later I got thinking about the connection of knowledge and power; these two are inseparable in the modern world, as Foucault and others pointed out. Those who have knowledge tend to use it to strengthen their own positions, and to impose their will on those ?down the ladder.? Yes.. the whole issue connects with colonialism, the Enlightenment (and I would say modernism in general), and is through those grids to models of leadership and change....Brueggemann reminds us that fidelity (relationship, commitment to love) is far more important than certitude. Certainty is highly over-rated, and is the favorite bastion of every...

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment (Paperback)
2008-03-17 13:55:00 Ekhart Tolle's message is simple: living in the now is the truest path to happiness and enlightenment. And while this message may not seem stunningly original or fresh, Tolle's clear writing, supportive voice, and enthusiasm make this an excellent manual for anyone who's ever wondered what exactly "living in the now" means. Foremost, Tolle is a world-class teacher, able to explain complicated concepts in concrete language. More importantly, within a chapter of reading this book, readers are already holding the world in a different container--more conscious of how thoughts and emotions get in the way of their ability to live in genuine peace and happiness. Tolle packs a lot of information and inspirational ideas into The Power of Now. (Topics include the source of Chi, enlightened relationships, creative use of the mind, impermanence, and the cycle of life.) Thankfully, he's added markers that symbolize "break time." This is when readers should close the book and mull over what t...
