    Freud and Yoga (eBook, ePUB)
    Lessons from a great yoga master and an eminent psychoanalyst that explore what psychotherapy and yoga philosophy have in commonYoga philosophy and Freud's revolutionary approach to psychology could not have been developed in more different times, places, or cultural conditions. And yet these two profound and dynamic systems of understanding human behavior, emotions, perception, and what's essential in our existence have an astonishing amount to share. What we learn by comparing their similarities as well as their differences can enhance how we comprehend our lives and our potential for change. In Freud and Yoga, the great yoga master T.K.V. Desikachar and the eminent psychoanalyst Hellfried Krusche examine forty classic sayings, or sutras, from the vantage point of their respective disciplines. Through clear, candid conversations that draw on long experience and are illustrated by case studies from the clinic and the shala, these two experts explain the concepts, terms, forces, and processes in their traditions. Therapists and patients, yoga adepts and professionals, and readers interested in psychology and spirituality will find this unique investigation fascinating, enriching, and useful. In a time when Western and Eastern modalities have ever more to offer each other, Freud and Yoga is a watershed work-one that draws us closer to understanding our own nature and the deep workings of the human psyche.

    DA: The Strange Case of Franklin Jones , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 113min
    One of the first books ever published to objectively study the life and work of Franklin Jones, also known as Bubba Free John, Da Free John, Adi Da, an infamous cult leader who attracted both devotees and detractors. Contains original essays by Professor Scott Lowe (University of Wisconsin) and Professor David Lane (Mt. San Antonio College). Review by Professor Robert S. Ellwood, formerl Bashford Professor of Oriental Studies, USC, writing in NOVA RELIGIO, "This short book is among the very few important studies of one of the most interesting and outrageous sixties-generation American gurus. This book consists of two essays, both revised versions of articles that appeared in Lane's Exposing Cults: When the Skeptical Mind Confronts the Mystical (New York: Garland, 1994). The first is a hard-headed but fair-minded assessment of the way in which spiritual guides can deliver teaching that is morally and mystically elevated, yet which seems to help others more than the guides themselves, producing the phenomenon of crazy adepts and sane disciples. If this is an accurate description of Da Free John, he far from alone, and the article ought to be useful to generalists in the study of new religions. Scott Lowe's piece, basically an account of his own brief youthful stay with Jones' group in 1974, complements Lane's article with firsthand information of what the group was like in its early years. These two well-written essays make a substantive contribution to our understanding of the dynamics of the disciple-guru relationship in new religious movements." ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Demonslayer: The Psychonaut Trilogy, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 664min
    Merrick Whyte is the psychonaut, mind reader, master of the gateways, and destroyer of worlds. He is also bereft of power, stolen by Aiwass, the dark demigod, for reasons which are far from clear. But Aiwass is explicit about the impending uncreation of the multiverse - an atrocity machinated by Orthon, a first-order demon. To avert this abomination, Merrick is tasked with seeking out the Dancer - an emissary of Orthon and member of a swelling infestation of adepts called the Enclave. This will prove to be just the start of a treacherous road.Merrick’s journey will lead him to worlds both bizarre and mind-unhinging. It will see demigods threaten those closest to him and the return of old enemies. It will be opposed by a fanatical group intent on destroying any adept possessing magical powers, including Merrick himself.Aided by the Outcasts and Hierophant allies, Merrick will seize objects of power and learn arcane invocations never before granted to mortals. But even these may not suffice. For, Orthon is always a step ahead, and no one has ever slain a demon before. Above all, a psychonaut can often be his own worst enemy. Demonslayer is the second book in Tom G.H. Adams’ The Psychonaut Trilogy."Adams constructs a story that flows and keeps the pages flipping." (Literary Titan)"The action is fast-paced, balancing the edge between thriller/ horror/ urban fantasy, concocting a rich melange from the various genres."

    The Dagger of Adendigaeth: A Pattern of Shadow and Light, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1740min
    At long last, the reason for the blessed Adept race's decline has been discovered: powerful beings known as Malorin'athgul are disrupting the Balance and preventing Alorin's Adepts from awakening to their gifts. Who are they? Where are they? And how can they be stopped when they wield a power meant to unmake the universe itself? In T'khendar, Prince Ean val Lorian has forsaken his companions in blood and battle to join the traitorous Fifth Vestal in T'khendar in the hopes of gaining some insight into the tragedies that plagued his return. Now, he must confront the man he's long thought of as his enemy and discover the role he is meant to play in the First Lord's darkly magnificent game. The Vestal Raine D'Lacourte has followed his traitorous oath-brother, Björn, through six kingdoms and into the distant realm of T'khendar seeking explanation and atonement. But the condemned realm harbors shocking secrets, and Raine soon realizes he's facing his greatest enemy yet - not in Björn, but in the truth. Elsewhere in Alorin, the young truthreader, Tanis, faces a new villain in the fiery-eyed man he followed from the café in Rethynnea; the soldier Trell struggles to reconcile his growing feelings for the girl he rescued from the river against the guilt of his unknown past; and in Tambarré, another truthreader named Kjieran van Stone treads the incense-filled hallways of the Prophet Bethamin's temple, hoping to uncover a plot of treachery and betrayal before the Prophet demands his soul. The time has come for each player to claim his role in the First Lord's masterful game. All will be tested, but only time will tell how many can survive the dagger of Adendigaeth. ungekürzt.

    Verity Strange , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 473min
    A madman. A sex cult. And world-changing genetic magick. VERITY STRANGE—Hedge Witch, Youngest Daughter of the Strange Family Seeing the future isn’t all it’s cracked up to be—especially when you can’t change it. Even more so when your Talent nearly kills you. I’ve searched the world for a guru—a magickal monk—who could help me tame my divination powers, but most were frauds or worse. Being young and female is precarious when you’re consorting with powerful adepts. But then I met Eliphas Storm, and everything changed...   WYLDE BANE—FBI Analyst, Cult Expert Eliphas Storm is like any other cult leader.

He’s all about the power to control people—people like the beautiful and naive Verity Strange—and I’m determined to take him down. I grew up in a cult, and I know just how much he could damage a woman like her. But going undercover with an uncooperative asset is a good way to get me killed. And stepping back into the world I left is dangerous in a whole different way...   Wylde is intent on bringing down a charismatic cult leader. Verity is bent on proving his innocence and seducing her way into his inner circle.

    Storm Breaking: Valdemar: The Mage Storms, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1252min
    As Storm Breaking opens, the western allies, led by Karal, Karsite Sunpriest and delegate to the Valdemaran Court, and the Adepts Firesong and An'desha, have traveled deep into the Dorisha Plains to locate the ancient ruins of the Tower of Urtho, Mage of Silence, creator of the gryphons. Legend has it that below the Tower, deeply buried beneath the plains, is Urtho's Vault, hidden stronghold of some of the most powerful magical weapons ever devised - weapons that Urtho himself felt were too dangerous to use. With the help of the Shin'a'in plainsmen, they have successfully excavated this ancient arsenal, and risked their lives triggering one of these antique but potent tools of death to unleash a monstrous burst of mage-energy. With this explosion of magical power, Karal, Firesong, and their companions have temporarily counteracted the ever-increasing waves of the mage storms. But they know that this desperate action will not save them - they have bought themselves precious time, but are still far from a permanent solution. They know now that the mage storms are an "echo" through time of the prehistoric Cataclysm which destroyed Urtho's Tower, created the vast and barren Dorisha Plains, and permanently warped their world more than two thousand years ago. And they also know that if they don't find a way to banish these magical vibrations they will culminate in another Cataclysm - this time destroying their world for good. But the Vault is not the only thing buried for centuries below the Dorisha Plains, and camped in the ruins of what once was the workplace of the most ingenious mage their world has ever known, the desperate allies soon come to realize that their solution may lie beneath the dust at their feet. The saving of their world just might be accomplished by the work of a man who has been dead for millennia! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Ledoux.

    The Meditation Beginner's Bible: How to Relieve Stress, Find Inner Peace and Live Happier , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
    Discover why Oprah Winfrey, Hugh Jackman, Russell Simons, and Arianna Huffington all set aside time off their busy schedules to engage in the life-changing practice of meditation. Do you sometimes feel stressed, anxious, lonely, and depressed? Are you always up in your head, constantly dwelling on the past, and worrying about the future? Do you want to live a more productive, stress-free, and happier life? If so, then you've come to the right place. With The Meditation Beginner's Bible, you will embark on an inner journey that will take you back to the state of peace, joy, and happiness you were born to inhabit. From the outside, meditation can seem like an esoteric, mystical endeavor exclusively reserved for enlightened monks and spiritual adepts. However, this could not be further from the truth. Meditation is not only accessible to anyone, it is extremely easy to learn, and the benefits are only a few minutes away. In fact, a study by Dr. Fadel Zeidan at Wake Forest Medical Center has shown only 80 minutes of meditation to be more effective for pain relief than even morphine. Meditation changes the structure of your brain through a process called neuroplasticity. These changes in brain structure explain why regular meditators report a myriad of improvements in their lives. When you practice meditation, you gain control over your mind, you break the cycle of seeking stimulation from the external world, and you learn to draw your state from within. Meditation is truly a transformative experience that can have profound effects not just on your mind, but on virtually every aspect of your life - your body, relationships, health, and even your career. The Meditation Beginner's Bible will teach you : The neuroscience behind the incredible benefits of meditation How meditation rewires your brain How to turn meditation into a habit How to access a higher ungekürzt.
