The Analects of Confucius is a collection of quotations compiled by the disciples of Confucius, a thinker and educator in the Spring and Autumn Period, and his disciples, who recorded the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples. It was written in the early Warring States Period. This album is the first in the series on The Analects of Confucius, which recites and interprets this classic of Chinese studies.

Entering the Mind, by C von Hassett, is a deeply insightful exploration of a timeless wisdom practice known as Dzogchen—a meditation practice which points the practitioner directly to their own innate, naturally occurring mind, or what is otherwise known as “mind in its natural state.” This is the very mind the Buddha spoke of as being already awakened, already enlightened, and this mind is easily accessible and readily observable within each of us.

Marking a significant departure from Noah Cicero's fictional and poetic works, Blood-Soaked Buddha/Hard Earth Pascal is a lucid philosophical treatise. Rather than entertain dogma, Cicero approaches a discussion of Buddhism from the refreshing perspective of the everyman, providing a profound spiritual analysis as well as a sharp critique of capitalism. There are even some pretty good ghost stories.

The Book of Unknowing continues the leading-edge work begun in the The Book of Undoing and Awaken Now. Those books are about how to awaken, while this one is primarily about the post-awakening experience itself - how to "clear". Topics addressed include how to assess if you're awake or not, why you may need a teacher, how to deal with various experiences in post-awakening, experiments and inquiries, and dozens more.

Welcome to the second installment in the Baal on Buddhism series in which I take complicated Buddhist topics and make them approachable to all. I was not initially intending on making this the second book in the series, in fact, I wasn't going to write this book until sometime in 2018. It has been on my list of books to write for several years, but an odd chain of synchronicities occurred in which pushed me to write this now. I took it as a sign that my perspective on this practice is coming at the right time for many people. It also gave me the opportunity to reconnect with my own shadow self in the process.

Die Ribhu Gita ist eines der Hauptwerke der indischen Vedanta-Philosophie. Darin ist die Quintessenz dieser Philosophie enthalten. Sie besagt, dass alles das eine Selbst ist. Es gibt nur ein Selbst, das wir alle miteinander teilen. Nur wer bereit ist, auf alles Persönliche zu verzichten, wird dazu in der Lage sein, sich auf dieses kosmische Selbst einzulassen. Ramana Maharschi (1879 –1950), der große erleuchtete Meister des 20.Jahrhunderts, liebte diese Schrift mehr als alle anderen.

The chakras are the body's invisible energy centers that store information and distribute life force. When out of balance, they hold the root cause of a variety of physical illnesses, emotional disturbances, and general unhappiness with life. Understanding and awakening the chakras will help you achieve a state of well being on every level.

Initial awakening is the most important shift that can occur within our lifetime, but even that key development is no more than an invitation to the larger dance. Ultimately, if we do not clear up after we wake up, then awakening will have been of little consequence. In the absence of that critical clearing process, our awakening is reduced to becoming a pleasant memory of an important event that happened long ago and which we presently cannot quite remember or explain.
