Source Code Meditation: Hacking Evolution through Higher Brain Activation
by Dr Michael CottonLearn to mobilize latent energy in your body and direct it to energize and awaken your higher brain • Provides a simplified step-by-step guided process to the higher-brain activation techniques of Source Code Meditation • Explains how to shift energy out of the lower “survive” brain into the higher “thrive” brain to bring confidence, clarity, and empowerment for transformative change in all areas of life • Reveals how the “brain first” techniques of SCM tune the brain to receive meditation, enabling access to deep flow states, transcendent states of consciousness, and higher brain potential The human brain is like a flowing river of potential. Until now, that river has been blocked, barricaded, and diverted by the primitive lower brain. The lower brain hijacks our ability to experience deeper flow and higher transcendent states of consciousness. It also guards against the full expression of the passionate human heart. Source Code Meditation (SCM), with its nine summits of transformation, effortlessly re-routes that lower brain diversion, allowing you to activate latent energy in your body, awaken your higher brain, enlighten your mind, and set your heart on fire to create a new world. With traditional meditation techniques, it often takes decades of practice for hours each day to confer significant changes in the mind and the higher brain. Few of us make it to these rarified states of mind, due to the amount of time and the intensity of focus needed. With “brain first” SCM techniques, you mobilize latent energy in the body and direct it to energize and awaken the higher brain before meditation begins. With the higher brain prepped and tuned, meditation is efficiently received, leading to quantum breakthroughs in higher consciousness without years of practice as well as access to deep flow states, transcendent states of consciousness, and higher brain potential. Providing a simplified step-by-step guided process to SCM, Dr. Michael Cotton explains how to shift energy out of the lower “survive” brain into the higher “thrive” brain to bring confidence, clarity, and empowerment for transformative change in all areas of life. Distilled from the world’s most comprehensive philosophy, Integral Metatheory, SCM offers not only a way to create the brain state necessary to change the mind, but the crystal clarity needed to use these advanced meditative states to actualize your potential and live your destiny to the fullest.
Sources of Strength: Meditations on Scripture for a Living Faith
by Jimmy CarterFor decades, President Jimmy Carter has been an avid student and teacher of the Bible. In recent years, the adult Sunday school classes he leads at his hometown Baptist church have become famous the world over. As The New York Times put it, "These weekly sessions...are remarkable for the ability of regular folks to walk in, grab a seat and exchange views with the 39th President of the United States. But they are also remarkable for what Mr. Carter has to say." Now, this most admired American has selected fifty-two of his favorite Bible meditations from these Sunday gatherings to share with anyone who is searching for new faith...or fuller understanding of a lifelong creed. The result is this remarkable book, Sources of Strength: Meditations on Scripture for a Living Faith. For Jimmy Carter, as for countless others, Holy Scripture has been a constant companion, a source of inspiration and strength in both good times and bad. A lifetime of devoted Bible reading has taught him that the truths of Scripture have the power to enrich and transform our daily lives in unexpected ways. As President Carter writes, "The Bible offers concrete guidance for overcoming our weaknesses and striving toward the transcendent life for which we were created." Sources of Strength is Jimmy Carter's invitation to you to share in the spiritual bounty of Scripture and joyous, more fulfilling life that a living faith makes possible. Also Available As An Audio Book "I think the audio version brings a human touch..It permits me to communicate in a much more intimate fashion." --President Jimmy CarterFrom the Hardcover edition.

Recuerdo cómo me presentaron: 'De Guadalajara, México, jugadora número uno del mundo: Lorena Ochoa'. Entonces levanté la cara, le di las gracias al público y, como acostumbraba, me persigné, coloqué mi bastón en posición y di mi primer tiro con lágrimas en los ojos. En ese momento sentí que mis piernas flaqueaban; busqué a mi caddie, le di mi driver y le dije llorando: 'Vamos a disfrutar este día'."

Soñemos juntos: El camino a un futuro mejor
by Papa FranciscoLos pensamientos, inquietudes y propuestas más personales del papa Francisco sobre la crisis del Covid-19 y el mundo que emergerá de ella. Para salir mejores de esta crisis necesitamos ver claro, elegir bien y actuar en consecuencia. Hablemos del cómo. Atrevámonos a soñar. El papa Francisco ha presenciado cómo la crisis del Covid-19 ponía de relieve de una manera aún más evidente la crueldad y la desigualdad que nos rodean. Pero también ha visto en la capacidad de recuperación, la generosidad y la creatividad de muchas personas los medios para salvar la sociedad, la economía y el planeta. En este libro, el Papa insta a no permitir que todo este dolor sea en vano analizando y aprendiendo lo que esta situación puede enseñarnos, y, con gran sinceridad, revela tres crisis en su propia vida de las que salió fortalecido. El papa Francisco ofrece, además, una brillante y feroz crítica a los sistemas e ideologías que conspiraron para generar la situación actual, desde una economía global obsesionada con los beneficios e indiferente al daño causado a las personas y al medioambiente a los políticos que fomentan el miedo de sus pueblos y lo usan para aumentar su poder. Por último, el Papa propone un proyecto inspirador y concreto para construir un mundo mejor que coloca a los desfavorecidos y al planeta en el centro de un nuevo pensamiento, y muestra que cuando los individuos se unen para actuar a pesar de sus diferencias pueden descubrir imprevistas y maravillosas posibilidades. Soñemos juntos es el papa Francisco en su expresión más personal, profunda y apasionada. Con este libro y con los corazones abiertos podemos cambiar el mundo.

by Camomile HixonTransform Your Mind. Expand Your Universe. Reach for Mars. Imagine a better tomorrow with interstellar essays and art—drawing on the aspirational futurism that fuels Star Trek, The Martian, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, renowned contemporary artist Camomile Hixon reminds us that by reaching for the stars, we can chase our full potential beyond Earth, while also transforming ourselves and our understanding of the Pale Blue Dot we call home.We stand at the threshold of interplanetary travel: SpaceX rockets are now routinely leaving Earth and NASA&’s new Perseverance rover is searching for signs of ancient life on the Red Planet.

Yearning to know the stars has long united humanity and ignited our imaginations.

Celebrating the limitless potential of space and the human spirit, Hixon&’s indelible essays and fantastical works of art invite us to imagine a transcendent future where we reach together for absolute freedom, unconditional love, and wellness on our grand quest for world peace. Weaving science, history, art, and philosophy with meditations on higher consciousness inspired by seeing the Earth from Space, Space Nomads is a book of unbridled optimism for the future.

Spacecruiser Inquiry
by A. H. AlmaasOver the past twenty-five years A. H. Almaas--widely recognized as a leader in integrating spirituality and psychology--has been developing and teaching the Diamond Approach, a spiritual path that integrates the insights of Sufism, Buddhism, Gurdjieff, and other wisdom traditions with modern psychology. In this new work, Almaas uses the metaphor of a "spacecruiser" to describe a method of exploring the immediacy of personal experience--a way of investigating our moment-by-moment feelings, thoughts, reactions, and behaviors through a process of open-ended questioning. The method is called the practice of inquiry, and Spacecruiser Inquiry reveals what it means to engage with this practice as a spiritual path: its principles, challenges, and rewards. The author explores basic elements of inquiry, including the open-ended attitude, the focus on direct knowledge, the experience of not-knowing, and the process of questioning. He describes the experience of "Diamond Guidance"--the inner wisdom that emerges from our true nature--and how it can be realized and applied. In this process Almaas looks at many of the essential forms of Diamond Guidance, including knowing, clarity, truth, love, intelligence, compassion, curiosity, courage, and determination. Also included are exercises and questions and answers from the original talks by Almaas on which the book is based.

Sparks of Divinity
by B.K.S. Iyengar Georgia Leconte Philippe Leconte Noelle Perez-ChristiaensSparks of Divinity is a collection of the teachings of yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar first published in a French-English bilingual edition in 1976. The material for this book was gathered and compiled by Noëlle Perez-Christiaens from class notes and correspondence during the formative years of Iyengar's international career. The entries cover the period from the late 1950s, when Iyengar was invited by Yehudi Menuin to teach in Gstaad, Switzerland, to the year following the death of Iyengar's wife and the opening of the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India.When Noëlle first studied with Iyengar in Pune in 1959, he was still teaching his pupils one-on-one at his home. During her stay in India, Noëlle was regarded virtually as one of the household, and this intimacy continued in their subsequent letters, where Iyengar wrote to her more as a colleague and friend than as a teacher. We are fortunate to include Noëlle's Indian Journal for 1959 and her Early Life of B.K.S. Iyengar, translated into English especially for this edition, for the intimate glimpses they give of Iyengar's personal life and family.Sparks of Divinity is also a testament to the deep bond between teacher and student. In an Afterword about Noëlle, we learn how an early suggestion from Iyengar moved her in a completely new direction, and how she attributes her discoveries about Aplomb (natural balance) to Iyengar's ongoing inspiration.
