Real Love And Freedom For The Soul

"This book nailed me to the wall! It has given me the power to change the way I believe, the way I feel, and the way I behave toward others. I'm very grateful." Finally, you can read the book we've all been waiting for, the book that will change forever the way you see yourself and your relationships. At the root of all our anger, our feelings of separation from one another, and our problems in relationships is our belief that we have been victimized. In Real Love and Freedom for the Soul we learn about the "secret disease" of victimhood, which is a primary component of almost all conflict in the world. As you read Real Love and Freedom for the Soul, you'll learn: - the real reason you often feel angry and resentful toward other people - how you can eliminate the anger that is destroying your happiness and relationships - why businesses often fail - why so many of our children are angry and rebellious - the real cause of racial prejudice in the world - how you can achieve a level of freedom and peace you never before imagined possible

One of the greatest spiritual teachers of the twentieth century shares his philosophy on self-discovery, free will, and the search for a place and purpose in life. “I myself am a question. I know not who I am. What to do? Where to go?”—Osho Destiny, Freedom, and the Soul: What Is the Meaning of Life? explores deeply human questions, such as: Is there really such a thing as “soul,” and if so, what is it? Where does the concept of karma fit in? Does my life have a special meaning or purpose? Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

Osho, one of the greatest spiritual thinkers of the twentieth century, explores the connections between ourselves and others in Love, Freedom, and Aloneness: The Koan of Relationships. In today’s world, freedom is our basic condition, and until we learn to live with that freedom, and learn to live by ourselves and with ourselves, we are denying ourselves the possibility of finding love and happiness with someone else. Love can only happen through freedom and in conjunction with a deep respect for ourselves and the other. Is it possible to be alone and not lonely? Where are the boundaries that define “lust” versus “love”...and can lust ever grow into love? In Love, Freedom, and Aloneness you will find unique, radical, and intelligent perspectives on these and other essential questions. In our post-ideological world, where old moralities are out of date, we have a golden opportunity to redefine and revitalize the very foundations of our lives. We have the chance to start afresh with ourselves, our relationships to others, and to find fulfillment and success for the individual and for society as a whole. Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India.

Life is full of challenges that provide us with an opportunity to reflect on the choices that have brought us this far on our soul journey. Despite desiring answers to our deepest most introspective questions, we may hesitate to look inward for the answers, perhaps fearful of what we will hear within our soul. Yet even after we choose avoidance, our soul can be persistent, encouraging us to listen to the call of the Divine that urges us toward greater love. In an enlightening, uplifting presentation, Rebecca Gabrielle details her spiritual journey as she learned to acknowledge and accept the call of her soul to change the course of her life. While inviting others to walk with her on the path to true love, Rebecca reveals how her heart was opened to face her shadows and inner-truths, eventually compelling her to take a leap of faith towards a life of deeper love and spiritual awakening. The Power of Soul Loving is a spiritual guide for anyone ready to embrace personal transformation and soul growth. In sharing her story, Rebecca shines a light on how to face our fears, manage the discomfort of change, and shift towards compassion and self-love for a more fulfilling and purposeful life. One woman’s journey from despair to inner-freedom reveals the wisdom of our soul’s transformative power to unveil a life of true love.

13 lectures, Stuttgart, October 3-15, 1922 (CW 217) "This cycle of lectures 'to the younger generation' speaks of a pathway to a Michaelic harvest for ears that have the goodwill to hear." --Carlo Pietzner Rudolf Steiner presented these lectures to about a hundred German young people who hoped to bring Waldorf education into the culture of their time and for the future. Steiner stressed upon his listeners the great importance of "self-education" as a prerequisite to all other education. His was an attempt to guide the youth toward understanding themselves within the world situation. Steiner showed how the stream of generations had been interrupted by eighteenth-century intellectualism, emphasizing that they would have to reject the general acceptance of impersonal social routine, dead intellectual thinking, and personal and social egoism. Steiner discussed the need, instead, for a form of education permeated by art and feeling, which brings inner nourishment that can grow throughout one's life. It was his view that, without such an education, society will not reach a future built on moral love and mutual human confidence--a truly human culture. A previous edition of these lectures was published as The Younger Generation: Educational and Spiritual Impulses for LIfe in the Twentieth Century (1967). Original German title: Geistige Wirkenskräfte im Zusammenleben von alter und junger Generation. Pädagogischer Jugendkurs (GA 217). This Collected Works edition includes a new introduction, notes, and an index.

Thriving stand-up comic and actress Yvonne Orji—best known as Issa Rae's BFF on the HBO series, Insecure—shares the secrets to living the life of your dreams. Yvonne Orji has never shied away from being unapologetically herself, and that includes being outspoken about her faith. Known for interpreting Biblical stories and metaphors to fit current times, her humorous and accessible approach to faith leaves even non-believers inspired and wanting more. The way Yvonne sees it, God is a Sovereign Prankster, punking folks long before Ashton Kutcher made it cool. When she meditates on her own life—complete with unforeseen blessings and unanticipated roadblocks—she realizes it’s one big testimony to how God tricked her into living out her wildest dreams. And she wants us to join in on getting bamboozled. This is not a Self-Help book—it’s a Get Yours book! In Bamboozled by Jesus, a frank and fresh advice book, Orji takes readers on a journey through twenty-five life lessons, gleaned from her own experiences and her favorite source of inspiration: the Bible. But this ain’t your mama’s Bible study. Yvonne infuses wit and heart in sharing pointers like why the way up is sometimes down, and how fear is synonymous to food poisoning. Her joyful, confident approach to God will inspire everyone to catapult themselves out of the mundane and into the magnificent. With bold authenticity and practical relatability, Orji is exactly the kind of cultural leader we need in these chaotic times. And her journey through being Bamboozled by Jesus paints a powerful picture of what it means to say “yes” to a life you never could’ve imagined—if it wasn’t your own.

In Love is Freedom, Dr. Murphy analyzes the Bible’s “love chapter,” 1 Cor 13. He believes that if men and women were to meditate upon the inner meaning of this chapter, which is one of the greatest sections in the Bible, their lives would be transformed. Murphy shows how the deep truths contained within this chapter can be put into practical use once the spiritual meaning is understood. He then goes on to discuss love relationships and marriage in particular.

"Using the poetry of thirteenth-century Sufi mystic Jelaluddin Rumi as a touchstone, [Breton and Largent] explore the mystic path: what mysticism is, what it offers, and how one can live a mystic's life in the everyday world."--Jacket.
