Title: Beyond Religion

Subtitle: Ethics for a Whole World

Author: His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Narrator: Thandie Newton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-30-12

Publisher: Random House Audiobooks

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Thought

Publisher's Summary:

In 1999 His Holiness The Dalai Lama published the best-selling Ancient Wisdom: Modern World, which addressed the question of ethics for the new millennium. A decade later, His Holiness enters the contemporary debate about religion vs atheism and returns to the theme of ethics with a major new work: Beyond Religion: ethics for a whole world.

In this thought-provoking new book, he argues that religion is not a necessity for pursuing a spiritual life. Rather, focusing on tolerance and understanding between religions, as well as tolerance and understanding between believers (of any faith) and non-believers is the way forward. The way to achieve such an approach, he proposes, is through a system of secular ethics grounded in a deep appreciation of our common humanity.

Aimed particularly at the general listener, Beyond Religion is a modern-day polemic which outlines those ethics he believes should be central to our lives.

Thandie Newton has starred in Hollywood blockbusters such as Mission: Impossible II opposite Tom Cruise, The Pursuit of Happiness opposite Will Smith, and in Guy Ritchies RocknRolla. She won critical acclaim for her role in Crash, for which she won a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, and she has also had a regular role in the television series ER.

Title: The Way to God: Causality: The Ego's Foundation - January 2002

Author: David R. Hawkins

Narrator: David R. Hawkins

Format: Original Recording

Length: 5 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-18-12

Publisher: Veritas Publishing

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 54 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Thought

Publisher's Summary:

Dr. Hawkins introduces his first lecture in the Sedona Series with an explanation of why he wrote the book, Power vs. Force. He wanted to provide a way for people to move from the everyday linear world of black and white to the less familiar, abstract, nonlinear world without thinking they were moving into a mystical, imaginary realm. He wanted to enlarge the paradigm of reality of science so the intelligent person could comprehend the work and conclude that there was something to look at in the nonlinear domain.

Dr. Hawkins talks about the shift in psychiatry in which everything has to be evidence based and how the Map of Consciousness provides that documentation, along with the response of the human being to the field of consciousness. He further explains the development of the Map of Consciousness and discusses the various levels and characteristics of human consciousness, from below 200, where everything is detrimental to life, to above 200, where that which is true, valid, pro-life, and spiritually whole contributes to life. Dr. Hawkins discusses the higher levels as well and how a true guru or teacher has to calibrate over 540, the level of Unconditional Love. He gives a brief description of what may be experienced at the levels above 540, and on up to 1,000.The world of duality is discussed and how the research seemed to bring up a polarity similar to good and evil. At first it seemed like two different worlds, but then it was found that creation is continuous and evolutionary. Also, there are no either-ors but instead variations in qualities, e.g. more or less light. He further explains the Map of Consciousness and the characteristics and experiences that occur along the scale. He delves into the concepts of positionality and duality and the roles they play in our lives. He also explains how to change our perceptions.

Dr. Hawkins then talks about the misunderstandings surrounding the concept of causality and the perceptual blocks they create. They prevent us from seeing what is actually going on and block our experience of the Presence of God. Spiritual awareness has to do with understanding the nature of Creation and of God. He emphasizes that it is essential for spiritual teachers to calibrate above consciousness level 200, the level of truth and courage. In the Newtonian Paradigm of reality and our society, there is a this causing a that. Consequently, becoming enlightened in this world is difficult because the mind, the ego, and feelings are barraged continuously by a paradigm of reality that is based on duality. Dr. Hawkins says that consciousness research is the only approach he knows to really investigate the reality behind the worlds teachings.He states that the purpose of the lectures is to share how we come to the knowingness of the presence of God. He talks about the nature of God in a way that is easily understood and defines the spirit, the field in which it moves, and the effect of Karma. He lets us know that life is continuous, that its source is Divinity, and provides the proof.

This lecture provides the foundation for all the lectures that follow and is very helpful for understanding the advanced information. It concludes with questions from the audience being answered by Dr.

Title: The Deepest Truth of Human Existence

Subtitle: Discovering Your Essential Nature

Author: Eckhart Tolle

Narrator: Eckhart Tolle

Format: Original Recording

Length: 1 hr and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-17-11

Publisher: Sounds True

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 47 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Thought

Publisher's Summary:

Yes, you have a name, a personal history, and important goals and aspirations. But there is so much more to you than that. Recorded on retreat in Rishikesh, India, The Deepest Truth of Human Existence invites you to join Eckhart Tolle to realize who you are beyond the thought-based "little me" that too often dominates our lives.

Eckhart begins by exploring the way we come to develop a separate sense of self and how, from a very young age, our minds are conditioned to maintain what he calls "the story in the head". Offering practical pointers for freeing ourselves from "the primacy of the ego", Eckhart guides us into the direct experience of our essential nature beyond the level of thinking as he discusses:

"The truth of who we are is never found in the past or future," explains Eckhart. "It is here, now, immediate." The Deepest Truth of Human Existence gives you the opportunity to make this great discovery yourself.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Al-Mustafa, l'élu et le bien-aimé est sur le point de quitter la cité d'Orphalès pour retrouver son île natale. Tour à tour des habitants l'interrogent et à leur demande, il partage son enseignement sur l'amour, le mariage, les enfants, le don, les aliments, le travail, la joie et la tristesse, les maisons, la liberté, etc.

L'auteur

Issu d'une famille modeste chrétienne,

Nostalgique, il retourne dans son pays et entame des études à l'Ecole de la sagesse à Beyrouth où il étudie l'arabe et le français, tout en suivant un enseignement religieux et moral. Passionné de peinture, Khalil Gibran décide de s'installer à Paris et d'étudier à l'Ecole des beaux arts, ce qui lui permet de rencontrer de nombreux artistes tels Rodin, Debussy, Maeterlinkou Rostand. Sa mère mourante, il accourt à son chevet à Boston et décide dès lors d'exercer ses talents à New York. Il s'essaie également à la poésie, non sans reconnaissance du public. Son génie créatif lui vaut quelques oeuvres remarquables dont l'immortel

Revues par les critiques:

Ils en ont dit...

"Je ne connais pas d'autre exemple, dans l'histoire de la littérature, d'un livre qui ait acquis une telle notoriété, qui soit devenu une petite bible pour d'innombrables lecteurs, et qui continue cependant à circuler en marge, comme sous le manteau, sous des dizaines de millions de manteaux, faudrait-il dire, mais sous le manteau quand même, comme si Gibran était toujours un écrivain secret, un écrivain honteux, un écrivain maudit."

Titel: Befreiung von Kirche und Religion

Autor:: Robert Betz

Erzähler: Robert Betz

Format: Unabridged

Spieldauer: 56 mins

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 03-31-10

Herausgeber: Robert Betz

Kategorien: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Thought

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Eine den Kindern zwangsweise verordnete christliche Erziehung, zusammen mit Ritualen und Inhalten wie Beichte, Buße, Kreuzweg, Reue, Erbsünde, Wiedergutmachung u.a. bedeutet nichts weniger als extremen Missbrauch und kann durchaus mit einer "Gehirnwäsche" verglichen werden. Auch wenn diese Erfahrungen aus dem Bewusstsein des Erwachsenen weitgehend verschwunden sind, auch wenn er schon lange der Kirche den Rücken zugewandt hat, wirken diese kindlichen Erfahrungen im Unterbewusstsein weiter, als sei es gerade gestern geschehen.

Viele Menschen, die diese Meditation ein oder mehrere Male durchführten, fühlten sich befreit von schweren Lasten, die sich auf der psychischen wie körperlichen Ebene gezeigt hatten. Den wenigsten war jedoch vorher klar, woher diese Lasten stammten.

Macks jüngste Tochter ist vor Jahren entführt und wahrscheinlich umgebracht worden. Ihre letzten Spuren hat man in einer Schutzhütte im Wald gefunden, in deren Nähe die Familie auf einem Ausflug campierte.

Diese Einladungen locken ihn in die Hütte, wo er an einem bemerkenswerten Wochenende Gott, Jesus und den Heiligen Geist persönlich trifft. In furiosen Dialogen mit Gott über das Böse und den Schmerz der Welt kommt Mack zu einem neuen Verständnis von Schöpfung und Christentum.

Redaktionelle Rezensionen:

Ein Gott, der den Menschen persönlich Rede und Antwort steht? In "Die Hütte. Ein Wochenende mit Gott" führt uns Autor William Paul Young genau in dieses ungewöhnliche Szenario ein. Hauptfigur ist der hoffnungslose und depressive Vater Mack, der um seine entführte und höchstwahrscheinlich ermordete jüngste Tochter trauert. Seltsame Eingebungen führen ihn in eine einsame Hütte im Wald, wo er Gott, Jesus und den Heiligen Geist antrifft, um die nächsten Tage mit ihnen zu verbringen. Kernpunkt der Handlung ist das heftige Hadern von Mack mit Gott und die drängende Frage nach dem Warum.

Sprecher Johannes Steck leiht den ergreifenden und tiefgründigen Dialogen des Hörbuchs seine Stimme. Dabei macht er diese erschütternde Glaubenskrise zu einem fesselnden Hörgenuss.

Title: The Prophet

Author: Khalil Gibran

Narrator: Jonathan Reese

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-24-08

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 35 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Thought

Publisher's Summary:

The first book, The Prophet, was originally published in 1923 and is considered Gibran's masterpiece. It is written in prose poetry in 28 parts, and deals with such topics as love, freedom, good and evil, religion, and death. It is a mystical and intensely subjective work, presenting the human soul as essentially noble and good.

In The Forerunner, originally published in 1920, Gibran asserts that "Nobody is to be blamed for our 'being' and 'having' but ourselves." Gibran makes it clear that we are our own destiny and not the toy of a blind fate.

Finally, the titular entity of The Madman, originally published in 1918, is not literally mentally unbalanced; on the contrary, he is perfectly healthy. His madness is only in the eyes of others. Gibran asserts that we tend to be what society expects from us, even though these expectations could be detrimental for the development of our self-identity. Oftentimes, we veil our true selves with masks out of fear of being ridiculed by others.

Editorial Reviews:

Almost a century after its publication, The Prophet seems to resonate with audiences more than ever. Indeed, a 2009 New Yorker article cited Kahlil Gibran as the third best-selling poet of all time, behind only Shakespeare and Lao-tzu. Part of The Prophets appeal can surely be attributed to its breadth - its ability to deal with subjects ranging from the lofty abstraction of love and spirituality to the seemingly superficial notions of clothing and beauty. All of Gibrans musings are shrouded in his ethereal, but practical, brand of mysticism, rendered here in the lilting velvet baritone of performer Jonathan Reese. Reeses sonorous voice is itself almost hymnal, as the performer deftly captures the cadence of Gibrans prose poetry.

Members Reviews:

Just so awe inspiring and a top classic.

Okay I am being biased here but I must be truthful, this is the BOOK to have 2 copies of (for yourself), audio versions and electronic version too.I treasure this book since I first came across it 26 years ago, have given 5 copies away as gifts and now will give 2 copies to my kids.I adore this book and never tire of it, i love it and now can listen to it.Buy it, read it or listen to it and it resonates with your heart.A simple language of love and insight about the virtuous of being a human.!

To revisit again and again

It is slow, but if you have patience and hear the stories a few times, you will love this book.

Many stories don't make sense at the beginning, some don't make sense at all.

Relax and enjoy good philosophy.

/Good but could be better

The Prophet is wonderful, as always. It is beautifully written and makes your soul feel better reading it.

Having said that, the narration is somewhat lacking. There's something about the narration that murmurs s, "Sleep. Sleep now," until you can't resist. Otherwise, its great, and even with the lack luster vocals, it's still well worth the credit.

Publisher's Summary:

Seneca was dedicated to Stoicism, and in his essays and letters he explained the stoic position on many fundamental issues: pleasure and the problem of desire, happiness, and contentment; anger, fear, living in the present, how to think for yourself, anxiety and tranquillity, goodness, freedom, trusting the universe; courage, opportunity, cruelty and how to deal with it, friendship, love and trust, death and how to live, learning , chance and fate, time, aspirations, wisdom - and more.

Members Reviews:

Indispensable

Perfect selection from one of the greatest minds in human history. And beautifully read as well.

Odd presentation style

I am a fan of Seneca,

and have read most of his works.

This collection of sayings was not done

all that well.

The female voice is difficult to understand

at times.

The audio file is worth listening to.

It will give you a sense of Senaca's thoughts,

but I had higher hopes for it.

Not for newcomers to stoicism

I think that in order to appreciate this book you must have some understanding of stoicism if not the core idea of what it means to live stoically.

comforting when distressed. facing a difficulty?

This provides a bolster for courage, and perspective regardless of what is looming. The basis of Albert Ellis's Guide to Rational Living can be found is Seneca's wisdom.

Disappointing

This is not the pure unadulterated work of Seneca but rather a modern 'take' on it, read alternately by a male and female speaker making constant references to the modern world using a modern vocabulary. The wisdom and beauty of the original thought and prose are lost in the translation.

Publisher's Summary:

One of the world's most renowned physicists presents a radical new vision of science. Here the late David Bohm describes scientific theory as the myth that drives our culture, and points out the fallacy of our belief system. He also presents his alternative for addressing the world's mega-problems through engaging in a new level of "dialogue" among small groups of people. His views are both challenging and profound.
