Three Windows on Eternity
by Allerd StikkerThree Windows on Eternity is an exploratory voyage past the frontiers of our knowledge and scientific understanding. It has led the author to inspirational insights about the role of the individual human being in the current phase of the evolutionary process. The author takes the reader on a journey through evolution from the Big Bang to the 21st century. Based on scientific research and personal observation, he argues and concludes that of the 13.5 billion years of evolution, the first 10 billion years, a so-called inorganic evolutionary period lasting from the Big Bang until the emergence of life, was irrefutably governed by a magnificent design. By 'design' he does not mean 'intelligent' design but a state resulting from the eight fundamental constants of nature that emerged in the first nanoseconds following the birth of the universe. That state is a question of personal interpretation, inspired by religious belief or otherwise. The story of evolution presented in this book can raise awareness and inspiration in today's younger generations as they try to realize a controlled transition within the next 25 years, thus avoiding an uncontrolled overshoot/collapse scenario.In this respect, we are playing with time. The author is convinced that many young people who will populate the world in that period are keen to learn from the new story of evolution and are eager to act and contribute to a constructive new phase in that evolution in the 21st century.

Three Zen Sutras: The Heart, The Diamond, and The Platform Sutras (Counterpoints #7)
by Red PineThe three most venerated sutras of Zen in a true pocket-sized edition from a legendary practitioner and translator of Buddhist teachings.These three Sutras, often linked to form a trio of texts that have been revered and studied for centuries, are now available together in this single volume. Red Pine, whose acclaimed translations these particular Buddhist texts are considered canon, provides a sensitive and assured treatment of the classic triumvirate in a gift-sized volume, perfect for sharing with anyone seeking guidance and peace. The Heart Sutra, with its profound and wide-reaching influence on Buddhism, offers the Prajnaparamita teaching of emptiness. The Diamond Sutra, said to contain answers to all questions of delusion and dualism, outlines the bodhisattva path followed by the Buddha. And The Platform Sutra is an autobiography of Hui-neng, the controversial 6th Patriarch of Zen. His understanding of the fundamentals of a spiritual and practical life has served as the introduction to the teachings of Zen that students have been putting into practice for the past 1300 years.In addition to new translations of all three texts, Red Pine has included an introduction that ties all three together and just enough footnotes to explain what needs explaining but not enough to get in the way.
Threshold: Terminal Lucidity and the Border of Life and Death
by Alexander BatthyányTerminal lucidity is a relatively common but poorly understood phenomenon. Near the end of life, many people--including those who have suffered brain injuries or strokes, or have been silenced by mental illness or deep dementia--experience what seems a miraculous return. They regain their clarity and energy, are able to talk with families and caregivers, recall their lives and often appear to be aware of their nearing death.In this remarkable book, cognitive scientist and Director of the Viktor Frankl Institute Dr. Alexander Batthyány offers the first major account of terminal lucidity, utilizing hundreds of case studies and his research in the related field of near-death studies to explore the mind, the body, the nature of consciousness, and what the living can learn from those who are crossing the border from life to death.Astonishing, authoritative, and deeply moving, Threshold opens a doorway into one of life's--and death's--most provocative mysteries.

by David ViaforaSeasoned community builder David Viafora pinpoints the nine principles that create conditions for joy and solidity in any communityResearch over the last few decades reveals that our social fabric is unraveling as rates of isolation and loneliness continue to rise, climate crises intensify, and an individualistic worldview prevails. Is there another way to live? Where can we turn for guidance and hope in the face of such challenges? In this astute and empowering guide, David Viafora, a former Buddhist monk, points to community building as a fresh yet ancient and powerful way to face our most pressing individual, social, and ecological challenges. With precision, enthusiasm, and deep humility, Viafora draws from his own vast experience of mindfulness communities to offer inspiration and concrete guidance in growing thriving communities from the inside out.

Yet their potential to reshape the most basic elements of our life and friendships is revolutionary. With these nine principles in hand, we can cocreate another way of being—beyond isolation, individualism, and despair.

Thriving with Hypothyroidism: The Holistic Guide to Losing Weight, Keeping It Off, and Living a Vibrant Life
by Susan Tucker Anna AustinThriving with Hypothyroidism is an empowering guide for women to lose weight, keep it off, and live a vibrant life despite having hypothyroidism. Women with hypothyroidism often feel like the disease is hijacking their life, sabotaging their efforts to lose weight, keep it off and preventing them from living an energy-filled life. Many women with hypothyroidism have been told that “Your thyroid test came back in the normal range!” or “The dose of thyroid hormone you are on is perfect!” yet they still feel hypothyroid symptoms. Or maybe they’ve been told, “Your weight gain is not due to your thyroid. Maybe you’re eating too much and not getting enough exercise!” It sounds all too familiar, and it’s a vicious cycle! After Anna Austin was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at such a young age, Susan Tucker did everything she could for her daughter to get to the root cause of the symptoms Anna was experiencing, even after starting medication. Thriving with Hypothyroidism is about empowering women to take an active role in their health in stopping the progression of thyroid disease and not settling living with symptoms for the rest of their lives. Susan and Anna help people understand that there’s more to preventing hypothyroidism than just taking medication. Rather, women can improve symptoms and thyroid function through a more natural, whole-body approach. Thriving with Hypothyroidism comes from 20 years of research, personal experience, and education in getting to the root causes of Susan and Anna’s own hypothyroidism. Susan and Anna share how to stop the progression of thyroid disease, lose weight and keep it off, and have a more energetic life!

Through My Eyes: The Story of a Surgeon Who Took On the Medical World
by Charles D. Kelman"This book may ruffle feathers and bruise egos, but its fascinating tale adds a human quality to medical research." Dr. Frank Field Through My Eyes reads like a true adventure story. From the day his high school principal told him he wasn't college material and ought to go to trade school, Charles Kelman has upset conventional wisdom - with stunning success. As a pioneering ophthalmologist, Dr. Kelman bucked the whole medical establishment in his search for a less risky, less intrusive, and more effective method of cataract removal. Today, thanks to his persistence and smarts, thousands of people can see again. The "Rocky" of medicine, Dr. Kelman recounts his early struggles to achieve a breakthrough in surgical procedure-a battle Dr. Kelman had to wage in the face of intense skepticism from his colleagues. Through My Eyes tells the stories of the many famous people whose sight Dr. Kelman ultimately managed to save, including actress Hedy Lamarr, Senator Bob Packwood, jazz musician Lionel Hampton, singer Jan Peerce, and hundreds of others. But Charles Kelman also has a burgeoning second career- as a singer, saxophonist, and comedian. To his friends and fans he's known as "Dr. Jazz." And when he's not performing cataract surgery, he's performing at Carnegie Hall in New York, Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, the Atlantis in Atlantic City, or on the "Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson. He has appeared on the stage with such performers as Glen Campbell, the Spinners, and Lionel Hampton. Through My Eyes shows how single-minded persistence and determination pay off. While this autobiography is bound to stir controversy in the medical world, Dr. Charles Kelman's story combines scientific savvy with personal style-showing how one adventurous man, all by himself, can make good, and make a difference. Charles D. Kelman, M.D., is a practicing ophthalmologist in New York City and the author of Cataracts: What You Must Know About Them. He is a clinical professor of Ophthalmology at New York Medical College. In addition to his regular medical duties, he is currently conducting research into macular degeneration of the retina, and-in his show business career-he is writing a musical for Broadway. Dr. Kelman lives in New York City.
