Many of Idries Shah's books are comprised of tales and teaching stories taken from both written and oral sources, which illustrate the instructional methods employed by Eastern wise men for thousands of years.

C'est un enseignement unique et philosophique, naturaliste et monothéiste.

Buddhism asserts that we each have the potential to free ourselves from the prison of our problems. As practiced for more than 2,600 years, the process involves working with, rather than against, our depression, anxiety, and compulsions.

The lively exercises and inspiring real-world examples Cayton provides can help you transform intractable problems and neutralize suffering by cultivating a radically liberating self-understanding.

Are you seeking a deeper understanding of consciousness? Are you interested in meditation or currently practicing meditation? The Buddha and the Quantum is about the connection between meditation and physics. Many books show parallels between consciousness and physics; a few of these attempt to explain consciousness in terms of the physics of everyday experience. This is the only book that explains physics and the everyday world in terms of consciousness alone.

In You're Trying Too Hard, Joey Lott explains exactly that - you are trying too hard, and you will never achieve your goals precisely because you already have freedom. Stop trying everything under the sun to bring yourself to true enlightenment. Stop searching for wiser, more special teachers. Stop worrying about lineage and ego and diet and the self. Stop everything. Remain only with direct experience, and let true clarity at least reveal itself.

Ramana Maharishi war erst 21 Jahre alt, als er die Grundlage für das Büchlein "Nan Yar? Wer bin ich?" schuf, ohne dass er je die Absicht hatte, ein Buch über seine Lehre zu schreiben. Er wohnte in einer Höhle auf dem Arunachala. Obwohl er in jener Zeit nicht sprach, fühlten die Menschen instinktiv, dass er ein Weiser war und kamen mit ihren spirituellen Fragen und Problemen zu ihm. Einer von ihnen war Sivaprakasam Pillai, ein Philosoph, der bei einer Finanzbehörde beschäftigt war.
