Publisher's Summary:

The Archer takes you on a mystifying journey of one man's travels, permitting you to look into his world and his way of the bow. The Archer has no home to call his own as he travels the world alone. He takes one small suitcase and a long sleeve in which he carries his most prized possession. A once successful architect, the Archer is taken to the brink of ruin only to rise again, committing himself to a new way of life, as he learns about China and the mystical mountains of Wudang, where his past and present meet. Haunting dreams reveal secrets from sixth-century China. Lilian, his lost love, assists him in finding the missing pieces of a past life. Drawn to live by the Tao Te Ching and the flowing movements of Taijiquan he embraces the simplicity of life. He has no desire for material things and needs nothing other than what God puts before him. A disciplined teacher and guide, he changes the souls of children along his way and allows a brief glimpse into the window of his soul. With a click of the mouse, I came to find Armin Hirmer, the Archer, within the confines of my modern silver machine. Certainly, it was not by chance, but a universal vibration radiating and my ability as an intuitive to capture what was revealed to my eyes. His photography mesmerized me, revealing a million oceans rippling the spirit within him.

Members Reviews:

"The Archer" hits a deeper target.

A spiritual journey begins by having the courage and internal resolve to leave behind that which we know, that which provided comfort, and to listen to your intuition that the journey into the unknown will provide internal discovery, personal change and ultimate direction...your path. In this articulate and intelligent book we see how a man listens to his internal truth and finds his artistry through mastery of being bravely "empty headed" and allowing his art, his craft to flow through his senses to the true locations of his targets, without the interference of thought. All is done through a dance of centuries. The art of the bow and the bow as an absolute extension is the height of love and appreciation. He trusts his instincts, his intuition and his beliefs. Arriving at this point he reconnects with a different time and an ancient self and allow the teachings of the East and the Middle East to inspire, bring contententment, and certainty. He was once an architect of buildings, but finds a far greater love in teaching and becomes an architect of youth, then of individuals.. They learn the internal art, and the craft, while experiencing the joy of results through belief and intuition. His ever growing role as a guide to the spirit and to life, along with his expanding role as a craftsman, archer, and conduit of wisdom and awakening, adds value to every day of his life and to the lives of his students. This is a journey of spirit and a journey of destiny. Ms. Choomack's writing style is an awakening in itself. A book that belongs on everyone's "must read" list.

A journey through the life of an Archer

An interesting account of the life of an Archer, as he discovers himself, travels and teaches those whom he meets. Uplifting at times, great detail is spent on the surroundings, every day things, and the meanings and relationships the Archer encounters on his concrete and spiritual journey.

The Archer

The Archer - I highly recommend this book.

Title: Waiting in Joyful Hope

Subtitle: Reflections on Humanity's Desire for Immortality and Its Possibility

Author: Matthew Allen Newland

Narrator: Sean Schroeder

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-07-14

Publisher: Matthew Newland

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

It is said that the thirst for immortality drives civilization. The desire for it lies at the heart of some of history's greatest achievements. Immortality is the focus of the earliest known work of literature, The Epic of Gilgamesh, written some 4000 years ago, while today's scientists are hard at work on the task of extending human life beyond its current natural limits. The quest to live forever continues.

But why do we want to live forever? And is immortality even possible? It seems easy to imagine it (at least at first!), but after considering the idea a little more carefully, problems become obvious. Boredom, loneliness, and the effects (or ravages) of time on the body and the mind might all take their toll as the ages pass.

These subjective problems, together with the more objective question of how a body might live forever, are all considered in this audiobook. Though short, it is a survey that explores mythology, philosophy, anthropology, religious ideas, and futurist speculations in an attempt to understand the true meaning of immortality and whether or not we have reason to hope for (or dread) it.

Members Reviews:

Only for Deep Thinkers!

If you could sum up Waiting in Joyful Hope in three words, what would they be?

A Mind-boggling Load! Newland does a masterful job of introducing and explaining Man's effort to understand his existence and place in the unfolding cosmos.

What did you like best about this story?

Excellent detail and explanation, as well as a balanced, logical approach to the philosophical questions: Why am I? Why do I exist? Will I continue to exist?

Which character as performed by Sean Schroeder was your favorite?

There are no characters per se, just the author's logical thought process as he illustrates the evolution of Man's identity and place in the world.

Whats the most interesting tidbit youve picked up from this book?

the Indian philosophy of reincarnation and its conflict with latest views about quantum physics.

Any additional comments?

This could easily be a very well written doctoral thesis and, as such, may find a limited audience. It is a difficult subject to get your mind around, specifically as it conflicts with Man's eternal hope that we matter on an eternity scale.

Thought provoking story

I greatly enjoyed this book and the wide ranging sources drawn upon to discuss immortality. The only comment that I would make is that there should be a longer pause at chapter end and where the next one begins. I listen in my car and like to pause upon getting to the end of a section. It is tough to do this quickly while driving. The narrator is great clearly enunciating every word.

Título: Metafisica del amor [Metaphysics of Love]

Resumen del editor:

Sorprende que a 140 años de la muerte de Schopenhauer aún existan textos inéditos de su obra. El amor es un sentimiento humano que puede crecer hasta opacar cualquier aspiración, determinación o certeza del individuo e incluso llevarlo a sacrificar su vida, y sin embargo, en palabras de Arthur Schopenhauer, había sido "totalmente ignorado por los filósofos" hasta que éste lo interpretó metafísica y trascendentemente. Arthur Schopenhauer afirma que detrás de todos los despliegues afectivos que se hacen los enamorados se encuentra el instinto sexual, cuya meta es "la composición de la siguiente generación" por la cual los dos amantes serán sustituidos.

Este instinto sexual no es más que el maquillaje con que la voluntad de la especie hace creer al individuo que persigue su satisfacción personal en la forma del goce físico. La voluntad se ve obligada a utilizar estos métodos para combatir el egoísmo y la razón del hombre, por las cuales jamás se interesaría en "acrificarse en aras de la permanencia y la constitución de la especie" or medio de la unión sexual que Schopenhauer describe omo una cierta ilusión, el individuo cree "undirse en un único ser para después seguir viviendo en él". De esta forma, la voluntad de vivir es representada en la especie gracias al ser que los amantes pueden engendrar.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

L'autre pensée 68, de Herbert Marcuse à Henri Lefebvre.

Michel Onfray nous ouvre une nouvelle facette de Mai 68 grâce aux œuvres de deux de ses grands maîtres à penser : Henri Lefebvre et Herbert Marcuse ; deux hommes qui ont su déchiffrer avant l'heure les attentes nouvelles d'une époque et d'une génération. Leurs critiques de la société, souvent criantes d'actualité, proposent une réflexion pertinente sur la nécessité de transformer un monde dont les mécanismes capitalistes mènent à l'aliénation. Marxistes engagés et atypiques, ils sont intégrés à la légende de cette révolution sociétale qui a repris, mais aussi détourné leurs écrits et leur pensée. Ainsi, dans ce volume de la Contre-Histoire de la philosophie, Michel Onfray s'attache à rétablir la réalité de la construction de Mai 68, tournant majeur du XXe siècle.

Title: Can Animals Be Moral?

Author: Mark Rowlands

Narrator: Shanet Clark

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-30-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Nonfiction, Philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

From eye-witness accounts of elephants apparently mourning the death of family members to an experiment that showed that hungry rhesus monkeys would not take food if doing so gave another monkey an electric shock, there is much evidence of animals displaying what seem to be moral feelings. But despite such suggestive evidence, philosophers steadfastly deny that animals can act morally, and for reasons that virtually everyone has found convincing.

In Can Animals be Moral?, philosopher Mark Rowlands examines the reasoning of philosophers and scientists on this question - ranging from Aristotle and Kant to Hume and Darwin - and reveals that their arguments fall far short of compelling. The basic argument against moral behavior in animals is that humans have capabilities that animals lack. We can reflect on our motivations, formulate abstract principles that allow that allow us to judge right from wrong. For an actor to be moral, he or she must be able scrutinize their motivations and actions. No animal can do these things - no animal is moral. Rowland naturally agrees that humans possess a moral consciousness that no animal can rival, but he argues that it is not necessary for an individual to have the ability to reflect on his or her motives to be moral. Animals can't do all that we can do, but they can act on the basis of some moral reasons - basic moral reasons involving concern for others. And when they do this, they are doing just what we do when we act on the basis of these reasons: They are acting morally.

I'ts not what I expect from a book on this subject

Just like a lecture at college/Uni, very dry & not easy + the subject never seems to get started for all the academia.
