Author: Drunvalo Melchizedek File Type: pdf The sacred Flower of Life pattern, the primary geometric generator of all physical form, is explored in even more depth in this volume, the second half of the Flower of Life workshop. The proportions of the human body, the nuances of human consciousness, the sizes and distances of the stars, planets and moons, even the creations of humankind, are all shown to reflect their origins in this beautiful and divine image. Through an intricate and detailed geometrical mapping, Drunvalo Melchizedek shows how the seemingly simple design of the Flower of Life contains the genesis of our entire third-dimensional existence. From the pyramids and mysteries of Egypt to the new race of Indigo children, Drunvalo presents the sacred geometries of the Reality and the subtle energies that shape our world. We are led through a divinely inspired labyrinth of science and stories, logic and coincidence, on a path of remembering where we come from and the wonder and magic of who we are. Finally, for the first time in print, Drunvalo shares the instructions for the Mer-Ka-Ba meditation, step-by-step techniques for the re-creation of the energy field of the evolved human, which is the key to ascension and the next dimensional world. If done from love, this ancient process of breathing prana opens up for us a world of tantalizing possibility in this dimension, from protective powers to the healing of oneself, of others and even of the planet. Embrace the examined vision and understanding that Drunvalo offers to the world. Coincidences abound, miracles flourish and amazing stories of mysteries unveiled arise as the author probes the Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life.About the AuthorDrunvalo Melchizedeks life experience reads like an encyclopedia of breakthroughs in human endeavor.

Author: Christian Wiman File Type: epub A vibrant new collection from one of Americas most talented young poetsEvery Riven Thing is Christian Wimans first collection in seven years, and rarely has a book of poetry so borne the stamp of necessity. Whether in stark, haiku-like descriptions of a cancer ward, surrealistic depictions of a social order coming apart, or fluent, defiant outpourings of praise, Wiman pushes his language and forms until they break open, revealing startling new truths within. The poems are joyful and sorrowful at the same time, abrasive and beautiful, densely physical and credibly mystical. They attest to the human hunger to feel existence, even at its most harrowing, and the power of art to make our most intense experiences not only apprehensible but transfiguring.**

Author: Sidney Hook File Type: pdf In this brilliant work, first published in 1936, Sydney Hook seeks to resolve one of the classic problems of European intellectual history how the political radicalism and philosophical materialism of Karl Marx issued from the mystical and conservative intellectual system of G.W.F. Hegel. This edition contains a forward by Christopher Phelps discussing Hooks career and the significance of From Hegel to Marx in the history of ideas. **Review The most valuable exposition of Marx and Engels which has yet to be written in English. (The New Republic) From the Back Cover In this brilliant work, first published in 1936, Sydney Hook seeks to resolve one of the classic problems of European intellectual history how the political radicalism and philosophical materialism of Karl Marx issued from the mystical and conservative intellectual system of G.W.F. Hegel.From Hegel to Marx traces the writings of the young Marx from is early Hegelianism until the genesis of his own distinctive world-view on the eve of the European revolutions of 1848. Rather than merely compare Hegel and Marx, Hook recreates Marxs debates with his associates and contemporaries of the late 1830s and early 1840s, known collectively as the Young Hegelians Moses Hess, Bruno and Edgar Bauer, Arnold Ruge, Max Stirner and Ludwig Feuerbach. Marx only arrived at his theory of historical materialism, Hook argues, through a series of critical exchanges with each of the Young Hegelians.
