I see this book as an Unfinished Symphony and tribute to a man who even in his own time attained legendary and even mythic status. This was originally a long paper written for a Folklore class at the University of Pennsylvania in 1994. Even though it was just a term paper, I poured my heart into the project, reading everything I could about Morrison, listening to the Doors music, and reflecting on why Morrison was just so damn charismatic. Reading it through again today, I feel it still holds up and will definitely be of interest to Doors fans and those interested in exploring the man ...

This new translation of the Bhagavad Gita is excellent for students, scholars, and all those who are seeking to engage with this remarkable scripture in a deeper way. This is one of the finest English translations of the Bhagavad Gita due to its faithfulness to the precise meaning of terms and unbiased approach. Please note that this translation has only the English, not the Sanskrit. If you would like the fuller translation that includes the Sanskrit and a word-by-word translation, it is also available from the same author on Amazon. The one thing this volume does not contain is an ...

This slender volume presents some of the most basic Sanskrit terms relevant to the study and practice of yoga, with the hope that it will raise the level of literacy about this fascinating subject. In all, 108 words are included, the number 108 being symbolic of a certain level of completion. Yet this is by no means an exhaustive listing of pertinent terms. In fact, a book of 1008 such words could as easily be written, if not for the sheer awkwardness of such a tome, not to mention the degree of attention most have for these kinds of things. The thought is that this book is just enough and ...

Foreword What if Jesus never existed? What if there was in fact no itinerant rabbi with a following that was the source of the Christian religion? Are you open to entertaining that seemingly preposterous possibility? If yes, then this book might be of use to you. The author is a lifelong scholar of philosophy and religion with a solid schooling in Hebrew and biblical studies. With insights refined by Deepseek AI, he considers a theory that seems destined to shake the world of biblical studies, Jesus Mythicism. While many entrenched in academia still pooh-pooh this idea, there is a growing ...

As its name suggest, Simply A Course in Miracles is an attempt to simplify ACIM for the new reader. Many people pick up the Course only to put it down because the language is challenging or off-putting. Some are also confused because there are now so many teachers of ACIM, and many different interpretations as to what it means. If anything, this book does not seek to interpret the Course, but rather to simply present some of its most well-known teachings, reminding the reader that the interpretation is up to them. That said, this book does not shy away from pointing the reader to ways of ...

Far more than a mere history of the practice of yoga and beyond a study of psychedelic-substance use to aid the pursuit of enlightenment, Who Am I? is a broad, expansive journey told through the eyes of a scholar and researcher - a pilgrim in search of the meaning of life.

If you are on the path to master peace, then you might want to check out the modern spiritual masterpiece, A Course in Miracles (aka "ACIM" and "the Course"). In just five decades since it was published, it has had a huge impact on the world of spirituality, not to mention the world of spiritual literature. And already in this short time, there has been a major schism in the Course community, largely surrounding how the darn thing is to be interpreted. Some maintain that there is but one correct interpretation (theirs), and that all others are missing the mark and the message. But what does...

Reality jumped the shark. So we hired artificial intelligence to help finish the joke. Finish the Joke: An AI Comedy Chronicle of Trump’s Second Term (Vol. I) is a wildly imaginative collection of political satire, absurdist storytelling, and AI-assisted comedy inspired by the strangest headlines of our time. This is not just a joke book. It’s a running commentary on a reality that often feels more like a sketch show than a government. Inside, you’ll find: political satire that turns real-world news into full-blown comic mythology co-created sketches, songs, and narratives visions, ...

"Who do men suppose I am?" So begins Allowah's tribute to ayahuasca, a deep dive into the healing potential of this global phenomenon from the jungles of the Amazon. While the author does not pretend to truly comprehend the mystery that is ayahuasca, he does have a few interesting stories to share, as well as some very "good news" from his nearly 2 decades of exploration. Allowah also weaves in nondual teachings of yoga, as well as those of a contemporary spiritual masterpiece, A Course in Miracles. Don't let the author's breezy, conversational tone fool you -- there is much here that is ...

Truth matters, and this book is one concerned citizen’s humble attempt to help set the record straight on Trump and MAGA, with help from Perplexity AI. Allowah Lani and Perplexity cover every angle of the Trump presidency to make a solid case that America can do better, and must do better if democracy is to survive. A serious book written in an often humorous and very accessible, reader-friendly format for the average person, this book in a sense presents a time capsule of the chaotic spectacle that has been the second Trump term as POTUS. The book makes every attempt to present an ...

This book of yoga poses (asanas) represents what we might call the “industry standard” insofar as these are the poses you will generally find taught at most studios around the world today. And the names given here are also more or less the standard names that are used for the poses. Of course there is and will always be different names (both in English and Sanskrit) for these poses, but presented here are the most commonly used names. The asanas are alphabetically listed in three separate listings, the first according to the Romanized Sanskrit name, the second following the English name...

The creation of this book was a labor of love from a father to his young son and wife, years in the making. One overarching lesson of this book is that truth can be found in all religious traditions, and many even share the same stories. The hope is that we can teach our children to see how similar we truly all are, not how different. Many of these stories are classic spiritual tales that have stood the test of time. Here you will find stories of ancient rabbis, yogis, gods and goddesses, kings, mystics and madmen. You will also find some traditional moralizing fables, as well as stories ...

This book is a very simple and reader-friendly way to explore what yoga is. It will be helpful both to those who are very new to yoga, as well as to those who are even veteran yogis. This presentation is by no means meant to be exhaustive of the subject, but merely to put the questions on the table. The answers will not be universally acceptable to all, but at least the questions will be there so that we may better find our own answers. This book is also intended for and will be especially useful in the context of a yoga teacher training program. It is hoped that this will be seen as a ...
