Book Description
"Jean-Yves Leloup explores the writings of many spiritual masters from across the centuries, in particular the Desert Fathers, the fourth-century monk Evagrius, St. John Cassian, and the anonymous nineteenth-century author of The Way of the Pilgrim." "Drawn from the experience of the monasteries of Sinai and Mount Athos, here is a clear and practical presentation of the spiritual art of arts: stillness in the face of interior pain and confusion." "These spiritual riches, refined and developed by the Orthodox tradition in Christianity, can also be recognized in the teaching and practice of Buddhism, Hinduism and Islamic Sufism. The fundamental truth of one tradition is to be found under its own proper forms and nuances in others. Far from diminishing the unique value of this hesychastic way of prayer, the most developed spiritual traditions of humanity affirm it as one of the great forms through which humanity reaches out to embrace Infinite Reality."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
Enrich your spiritual experience of Shabbat by exploring the writings of mystical masters of Hasidism. Drawing from some of the earliest teachings in the family of the Ba'al Shem Tov through late 19th-century Poland and the homilies of the Sefat 'Emet, Eitan Fishbane evokes the Sabbath experience, from candle lighting and donning white clothing to the Friday night Kiddush and the act of sacred eating.

Book Description
The interface between the individual and what constitutes his world is formed by a nexus of cosmic forces of graded subtlety. Understanding these forces and energies opens up a whole field of tangibly realizable possibilities. The book attempts to ignite a spark that illuminates the fact that the spiritual goal cannot be attained by suppression or a denial of your desires and passions. That we need to rise above violent labelling of power, desire, and money as evil and identify the real evil within as a lack of awareness of the energy field and its role as a bridge between matter and spirit. The book borrows on the quotations of ancient and modern physicists, metaphysicists, sages, philosophers, and poets and blends their words with some personal reflections based on experience. The intent at all times being to share perspectives that embrace the spiritual potential in material and the material possibilities of the spiritual journey. The book celebrates the oneness of spirit and matter through these quotes, which have been compartmentalized into chapters that inform, educate, or gently hint at this oneness and harmony, which holds the disparate cosmic components together as a seamless whole.
