Pages : 34
Book Description
Take a break from frenetic activity to ponder. There is too much doing and not enough thinking. It has always been that way. Nearly everyone has been out in the world trying to "get things done" since before recorded history. And if you stop such people to ask them if they've thought seriously about whether what they are getting done really needs to be done, they hurry away, breathlessly muttering about not having time for navel-gazing. Pondering makes your actions more purposeful. But the truth is that activity will only be good by chance if you don't take a break to think about what you're doing. To spend a few minutes a day pondering whether what you're doing is really worth doing can't hurt anything, can it? Contemplating for insight This little book provides ten starter contemplations for insight. As the introduction says, "Read one contemplation every now and then, and ruminate. After you’ve gone through all of them, take some time off, and then pick up one again. You’ll find that you probably think differently about it. This is the beginning of a lifelong process of deliberate thinking that can offset some of the hectic doing that takes up so much of our days." Take a break Take a break from doing and think a little bit. It really can help you to see your life in a new light.
Hush
Author: Rubin R. NaimanPublisher: Newmoon Media
ISBN: 9780615979427
Category : Sleep
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
Hush isn't just another book of sleep tips - it's more a book of sleep transformation. Based on an integration of sleep science and spirituality, Hush was written to complement medical approaches with more traditional sacred views of sleep and dreams. Its "one hundred prescriptions" were carefully crafted to speak to both the mind as well as the heart. They are not so much intended to provoke deep analysis, but rather to invoke deep sleep.

The Inner Experience
Author: Thomas MertonPublisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062245082
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Now in paperback, revised and redesigned: This is Thomas Merton's last book, in which he draws on both Eastern and Western traditions to explore the hot topic of contemplation/meditation in depth and to show how we can practice true contemplation in everyday life. Never before published except as a series of articles (one per chapter) in an academic journal, this book on contemplation was revised by Merton shortly before his untimely death. The material bridges Merton's early work on Catholic monasticism, mysticism, and contemplation with his later writing on Eastern, especially Buddhist, traditions of meditation and spirituality. This book thus provides a comprehensive understanding of contemplation that draws on the best of Western and Eastern traditions. Merton was still tinkering with this book when he died; it was the book he struggled with most during his career as a writer. But now the Merton Legacy Trust and experts have determined that the book makes such a valuable contribution as his major comprehensive presentation of contemplation that they have allowed its publication.
The Books of Contemplation
Author: Mark VermanPublisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438422881
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
The earliest medieval Jewish mystical writings, or kabbalah, date from the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. This is the first book to focus on the most prodigious group active at that time—the 'Circle of Contemplation'. The 'Circle of Contemplation' generated a mystical theology that differs radically from mainstream kabbalistic theosophy. Two of this group's penetrating speculations on God and the origins of the universe are The Book of Contemplation and The Fountain of Wisdom. A meticulous and systematic study of these writings forms the core of this book. Verman discovered that the 'Circle of Contemplation' produced a series of distinct treatises, each entitled The Book of Contemplation and attributed to the same fictitious author. These treatises, embodying one of the most intriguing puzzles of medieval literature, are included here. The author concludes that these writings were a product of thirteenth-century Spain, not France, as claimed by Gershom Scholem. His conclusion engendered a critical evaluation of the premises of Scholem's historiography of early medieval Jewish mysticism.
