Book Description
"And although she and her friends place a small timer on their desks to measure the time they study each day and make joint promises to "study harder and use time wisely," at a certain point, the most desperate right that high school seniors in Korea identify with becomes not "the right to education" but rather "the right to the pursuit of happiness." In today's world it feels like 'studying' and 'education' are not fundamental and basic rights but more like fundamental, basic obligations. So today in response and perhaps as a declaration of sorts I decided not to open my textbook and study, but instead open my laptop and write a truly honest story about my thoughts on living as a senior student in Korea." - From Chapter 15, "A right to a "Happy" Education"

We live, we breathe, we plan and all the while we observe, wonder and question; curiosity and wonder start from the time we are babies through infancy and into junior school when the questioning starts and the word 'why' becomes a favourite.During secondary school then college, when we are becoming adults, we are learning about history and other cultures, we learn the good bits and the disasters, we start feeling partially responsible and questioning why and what if. There is a lot of thinking, some in debates and some just thoughts that go round in your head. The process of putting those thoughts down in writing can often make things feel clearer or maybe just give another way to look at things, quietly questioning all aspects of being a human.Chris has owned a Blues Jazz Club, holidayed in the Caribbean, Europe, and Morocco, lived in Australia and is now retired in Devon.

The Leap
Author: Steve Taylor
Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1608684474
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
What does it mean to be enlightened or spiritually awakened? In The Leap, Steve Taylor shows that this state is much more common than is generally believed. He shows that ordinary people — from all walks of life — can and do regularly “wake up” to a more intense reality, even if they know nothing about spiritual practices and paths. Wakefulness is a more expansive and harmonious state of being that can be cultivated or that can arise accidentally. It may also be a process we are undergoing collectively. Drawing on his years of research as a psychologist and on his own experiences, Taylor provides what is perhaps the clearest psychological study of the state of wakefulness ever published. Above all, he reminds us that it is our most natural state — accessible to us all, anytime, anyplace.

The Journey of Soul Initiation
Author: Bill Plotkin, PhD
Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1608687015
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
Soul initiation is an essential spiritual adventure that most of the world has forgotten — or not yet discovered. Here, visionary ecopsychologist Bill Plotkin maps this journey, one that has not been previously illuminated in the contemporary Western world and yet is vital for the future of our species and our planet. Based on the experiences of thousands of people, this book provides phase-by-phase guidance for the descent to soul — the dissolution of current identity; the encounter with the mythopoetic mysteries of soul; and the metamorphosis of the ego into a cocreator of life-enhancing culture. Plotkin illustrates each phase of this riveting and sometimes hazardous odyssey with fascinating stories from many people, including those he has guided. Throughout he weaves an in-depth exploration of Carl Jung's Red Book — and an innovative framework for understanding it.

Spiritual Science
Author: Steve Taylor
Publisher: Watkins Media Limited
ISBN: 1786781921
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
A mindfulness expert whose work has been hailed by Eckhart Tolle as “an important contribution to the shift in consciousness” offers a new vision of reality—one that is compatible with modern science and ancient spirituality. “With elegance and lucidity, Steve Taylor explains why spiritual science is the only hope for humanity.” —Deepak Chopra It is often assumed that there are two ways of interpreting the world: a rational scientific way, or an irrational religious way. Mindfulness expert, Steve Taylor, shows that there is a third possibility—a spiritual, or “panspiritist”, view of reality that transcends both conventional science and religion, recognizes spirit or consciousness as fundamental, and answers many of the riddles that neither can explain. Here, Taylor puts forward the evidence for a spiritual view of reality and examines the development and consequences of the materialist model. Drawing on the insights of philosophers, physicists, mystics, as well as spiritual traditions and indigenous cultures, he also systematically shows how a ‘panspiritist’ view can explain many puzzling aspects of science and the world such as: • human consciousness • altruism • near-death experiences • telepathy and pre-cognition • quantum physics • the placebo effect • neuroplasticity A compelling argument for a new vision of reality, Spiritual Science offers a bright vision of the world as sacred and interconnected, and of human life as meaningful and purposeful.
