Paths to God
by Ram DassFor centuries, readers have turned to the Bhagavad Gita for inspiration and guidance as they chart their own spiritual paths. As profound and powerful as this classic text has been for generations of seekers, integrating its lessons into the ordinary patterns of our lives can ultimately seem beyond our reach. Now, in a fascinating series of reflections, anecdotes, stories, and exercises, Ram Dass gives us a unique and accessible road map for experiencing divinity in everyday life. In the engaging, conversational style that has made his teachings so popular for decades, Ram Dass traces our journey of consciousness as it is reflected in one of Hinduism's most sacred texts. The Gita teaches a system of yogas, or "paths for coming to union with God." In Paths to God, Ram Dass brings the heart of that system to light for a Western audience and translates the Gita's principles into the manual for living the yoga of contemporary life. While being a guide to the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, Paths to God is also a template for expanding our definition of ourselves and allowing us to appreciate a new level of meaning in our lives.From the Hardcover edition.

The Pathseeker
by Imre Kertesz Tim Wilkinson"There's no such thing as chance...only injustice."From the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature for "writing that upholds the fragile experience of the individual against the barbaric arbitrariness of history..." The acclaimed Hungarian Holocaust survivor Imre Kertész continues his investigation of the malignant methodologies of totalitarianism in a major work of fiction. In a mysterious middle-European country, a man identified only as "the commissioner" undertakes what seems to be a banal trip to a nondescript town with his wife--a brief detour on the way to a holiday at the seaside--that turns into something ominous. Something terrible has happened in the town, something that no one wants to discuss. With his wife watching on fearfully, he commences a perverse investigation, rudely interrogating the locals, inspecting a local landmark with a frightening intensity, traveling to an outlying factory where he confronts the proprietors ... and slowly revealing a past he's been trying to suppress. In a limpid translation by Tim Wilkinson, this haunting tale lays bare an emotional and psychological landscape ravaged by totalitarianism in one of Kertsz's most devastating examinations of the responsibilities of and for the Holocaust.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Pathway to God
by Mahatma GandhiGandhiji was essentially a man of religion. His eventful life was really a spiritual pilgrimage. The supreme ideal which he tried to pursue, throughout his life, was God-realization. ‘I want to see God face to face,’ he used to say very often. He emphatically declares: ‘What I want to achieve—what I have been striving and pining to achieve these thirty years—is Self-realization, to see God face to face, to attain Moksha. I live and move and have my being in pursuit of this goal. All that I do by way of speaking and writing, are directed to this same end.’ Though Gandhiji started his life with disbelief in God and prayer and continued to maintain the same attitude for a long time, he did feel a void in his life at a later stage, which led him to read the real meaning of Creation. Thereafter he could write with the greatest assurance: ‘I am surer of His existence than of the fact that you and I are sitting in this room.’ He felt very miserable to find that he was still far away from God, even though he was conscious that God governed every breath of his life. However, the feeling that he was journeying Godward gave him some solace for he occasionally felt the warmth of the sunshine of His presence.

Pathways to an Inner Islam: Massignon, Corbin, Guenon, and Schuon
by Patrick LaudePathways to an Inner Islam provides an introduction to the esoteric or spiritual "inner Islam" presented by Western thinkers Louis Massignon, Henry Corbin, René Guénon, and Frithjof Schuon. Particularly interested in Sufism—the mystical tradition of Islam—these four twentieth-century authors who wrote in French played an important role in presenting Islamic spirituality to the West and have also had an influence in parts of the Muslim world, such as Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan. Patrick Laude brings them together to argue that an understanding of their inner Islam challenges reductionist views of Islam as an essentially legalistic tradition and highlights its spiritual qualities. The book discusses their thought on the definitions of spiritual Islam and Sufism, the metaphysical and mystical understanding of the Prophet and the Qur'ān, the function of femininity in Islamic spirituality, and the inner understanding of jihād. In addition, the writers' Christian backgrounds and their participation in the intellectual and spiritual traditions of both Christianity and Islam offer a dynamic perspective on interfaith dialogue.
Pathways to Bliss: Mythology and Personal Transformation (The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell.)
by Joseph CampbellJoseph Campbell famously defined myth as “other people's religion.” But he also said that one of the basic functions of myth is to help each individual through the journey of life, providing a sort of travel guide or map to reach fulfillment — or, as he called it, bliss. For Campbell, many of the world's most powerful myths support the individual's heroic path toward bliss. <p><p> In Pathways to Bliss, Campbell examines this personal, psychological side of myth. Like his classic best-selling books Myths to Live By and The Power of Myth, Pathways to Bliss draws from Campbell's popular lectures and dialogues, which highlight his remarkable storytelling and ability to apply the larger themes of world mythology to personal growth and the quest for transformation. Here he anchors mythology's symbolic wisdom to the individual, applying the most poetic mythical metaphors to the challenges of our daily lives. <p><p> Campbell dwells on life's important questions. Combining cross-cultural stories with the teachings of modern psychology, he examines the ways in which our myths shape and enrich our lives and shows how myth can help each of us truly identify and follow our bliss.

Pathways With Purpose
by Sarah J. RoyerWhen I started thinking about building a Faith-based curriculum for the early childhood classroom; my goal was to create a curriculum that would catch the interest of children 0- Kindergarten. See, I have worked in the early childhood classroom for almost two decades and while the goal is at the heart of the curriculum I have used; the interest it has sparked in our young ones is mild and dulled down, at best. How can we best instill an excitement to learn in our young ones? By making the material and manipulatives hands- on and exciting! I don’t mean by reading a story and pulling out paper puppets on craft sticks, although this may be what some children like and want to explore. What I mean is presenting values and morals in an explorative manner, in conjunction with developmentally appropriate learning standards that help engage your students in learning experiences while getting them excited! <P><P>Including stories and sensory materials, story buckets, role playing with dress up materials, including a variety of mixed media to spark your student’s interests is absolutely necessary. Create an environment that appeals to learners of various ages, backgrounds, and learning styles! Make your lesson times fun and interesting and your learners will gravitate back for more!
