Author: Aryeh Kaplan Publisher: ISBN: Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 270
Book Description
Based on a series of lectures that Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan gave to a small group of students in Brooklyn in 1981, this contains transcripts of the series on the Kabbalistic system, and testifies to his wonderful ability to transmit profound ideas in a readily-graspable way. Although this is an introductory text, it contains many perspectives that are expressed in a unique way, so it would be quite valuable even for the more advanced student of Jewish mysticism.
Author: John Lilly Publisher: Ronin Publishing ISBN: 9781579511036 Category : Psychology Languages : en Pages : 250
Book Description
In this long-out-of-print counterculture classic, Dr. John C. Lilly takes readers behind the scenes into the inner life of a scientist exploring inner space, or “far-out spaces,” as Lilly called them. The book explains how he derived his theory of the operations of the human mind and brain from his personal experiences and experiments in solitude, isolation, and confinement; LSD; and other methods of mystical experience. It also includes glimpses into Lilly's friendship with such 1960s' notables as Oscar Ichazo, Ram Dass, Timothy Leary, Albert Hofmann, Fritz Perls, and Claudio Narajo. Written for the non-specialist, Center of the Cyclone shows an important, modern thinker at his most personal and profound.

Author: Hisako Matsubara Publisher: ISBN: 9781564746146 Category : Astrophysicists Languages : en Pages : 0
Book Description
Novelist Hisako Matsubara has written an "autobiography" in the voice of her remarkable son, Mino. Saya (as Mino calls his mother) records her son's thoughts from his earliest years as a precocious pre-toddler, through his formal education, and on to the beginning and the ascent of his career as an astrophysicist at NASA. Alas, the rise of this brilliant star ends too early, when a tumor the size of a lemon intrudes and occupies space in his brain. Mino fights for his life, unwilling to leave before learning all there is to learn about the universe. This man has had a lot of experience resisting authority; it's a talent he discovered as a determined child when he challenged his stern father and sometimes won the skirmish. The ending seems to answer the Prelude: this hero isn't interested in anybody else's promise of an afterlife. He's not done exploring. This book, like the man who tells his story (with help from his mother) is fascinating, inspiring, and honest. The voice is full of wonder at the vast universe he explores through both telescope and microscope.
