]]> <![CDATA[Art in Time: A World History of Styles and Movements]]> 22209666 Art in Time is the first book to embed art movements within the larger context of politics and history. Global in scope and featuring an innovative present&hyphen;to&hyphen;past arrangement, the book’s accessible text looks back on the most significant art styles and movements, from the present day to antiquity.

Pages of historical photographs, documents, newspaper headlines, and other ephemera evoke the times in which styles and movements arose. The book opens with The Information Age (Internet Art, Neo&hyphen;Expressionaism, Arte Povera) and closes with The Classical Age (Roman wall painting, Hellenistic Greek style), covering everything from Photorealism, Art Brut, Ukiyo&hyphen;e, and Byzantine style in between. An integrated timeline provides a linear thread throughout the book, while succinct, authoritative text illuminates key points.]]> 368 Phaidon Press 0714867373 Jeyda 0 to-read 4.12 2014 Art in Time: A World History of Styles and Movements

]]> <![CDATA[The Diamond Sutra and The Sutra of Hui-Neng]]> 1182117 The Diamond Sutra, composed in India in the 4th century CE, is one of the most treasured works of Buddhist literature & is the oldest existing printed book in the world. It's known as the Diamond Sutra because its teachings are said to be like diamonds that cut away all dualistic thought, releasing one from the attachment to objects & bringing one to the further shore of enlightenment. The format of this important sutra is presented as a conversation between the Buddha & one of his disciples.
The Sutra of Hui-neng, also known as the Platform Sutra, contains the autobiography of a pivotal figure in Zen history & some of the most profound passages of Zen literature. Hui-neng was the 6th patriarch of Zen in China, but is often regarded as the true father of the Zen tradition. He was a poor, illiterate woodcutter who is said to have attained enlightenment upon hearing a recitation of the Diamond Sutra. Together, these two scriptures present the central teaching of the Zen Buddhist tradition & are essential reading for all students of Buddhism.]]> 168 Gautama Buddha 0877730059 Jeyda 0 to-read 4.32 1969 The Diamond Sutra and The Sutra of Hui-Neng

]]> <![CDATA[Care of the Soul: A Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness in Everyday Life]]> 295132
Readers are presented with a revolutionary approach to thinking about daily life—everyday activities, events, problems and creative opportunities—and a therapeutic lifestyle is proposed that focuses on looking more deeply into emotional problems and learning how to sense sacredness in even ordinary things.

Basing his writing on the ancient model of "care of the soul"—which provided a religious context for viewing the everyday events of life—Moore brings "care of the soul" into the 21st century. Promising to deepen and broaden the reader's perspective on his or her own life experiences, Moore draws on his own life as a therapist practicing "care of the soul," as well as his studies of the world's religions and his work in music and art, to create this inspirational guide that examines the connections between spirituality and the problems of individuals and society.]]> 312 Thomas Moore 0060922249 Jeyda 0 to-read 3.98 1988 Care of the Soul: A Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness in Everyday Life

]]> Goddesses in Everywoman 174635 A classic work of female psychology that uses seven archetypcal goddesses as a way of describing behavior patterns and personality traits is being introduced to the next generation of readers with a new introduction by the author.

Psychoanalyst Jean Bolen's career soared in the early 1980s when Goddesses in Everywoman was published. Thousands of women readers became fascinated with identifying their own inner goddesses and using these archetypes to guide themselves to greater self–esteem, creativity, and happiness.

Bolen's radical idea was that just as women used to be unconscious of the powerful effects that cultural stereotypes had on them, they were also unconscious of powerful archetypal forces within them that influence what they do and how they feel, and which account for major differences among them. Bolen believes that an understanding of these inner patterns and their interrelationships offers reassuring, true–to–life alternatives that take women far beyond such restrictive dichotomies as masculine/feminine, mother/lover, careerist/housewife. And she demonstrates in this book how understanding them can provide the key to self–knowledge and wholeness.

Dr. Bolen introduced these patterns in the guise of seven archetypal goddesses, or personality types, with whom all women could identify, from the autonomous Artemis and the cool Athena to the nurturing Demeter and the creative Aphrodite, and explains how to decide which to cultivate and which to overcome, and how to tap the power of these enduring archetypes to become a better "heroine" in one's own life story.]]> 370 Jean Shinoda Bolen Jeyda 0 to-read 4.14 1984 Goddesses in Everywoman

]]> Women Who Run With the Wolves 241823
In "Women Who Run With the Wolves," Dr Estes unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairytales and stories, many from her own family, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. Through the stories and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman, and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine. Dr Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.]]> 537 Clarissa Pinkola Estés 0345409876 Jeyda 0 to-read 4.12 1992 Women Who Run With the Wolves

]]> <![CDATA[Return to Source: How Enlightenment is the Process of Creation in the Universe in Reverse]]> 18298683
In Return to Source by Belsebuub, go on a short and eye-opening journey through the creation myths of ancient peoples from around the world and some of the most famous sacred texts, to discover their remarkable similarities.

Belsebuub uncovers that together they reveal a process of life and creation which is timeless, ever-present, and found in the very fabric of the universe. And one that is intrinsically connected to the return of consciousness to the source of creation awakened, called enlightenment.

Discover how we too contain the potential of spiritual creation and can use it to reintegrate with divinity, just as people of different cultures and times have. See how the natural world is spiritual in its source, and how everything is ultimately connected, allowing all beings to find their way back to the divine source whenever they choose to look.
“I tell you truly, the Book of Nature is a Holy Scroll, and if you would have the Sons of Men save themselves and find everlasting life, teach them how once again to read from the living pages of the Earthly Mother. For in everything that is life is the law written. It is written in the grass, in the trees, in rivers, mountains, birds of the sky and fishes of the sea; and most of all within the Son of Man.�
~ Jesus, in The Essene Gospel of Peace

From the book:
“Enlightenment follows the process of creation in reverse. The path to enlightenment is to return to the Absolute, the unknowable source of creation.�

]]> <![CDATA[The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self]]> 4887 The bestselling book on childhood trauma and the enduring effects of repressed anger and pain.

Why are many of the most successful people plagued by feelings of emptiness and alienation? This wise and profound book has provided millions of readers with an answer—and has helped them to apply it to their own lives.

Far too many of us had to learn as children to hide our own feelings, needs, and memories skillfully in order to meet our parents' expectations and win their "love." Alice Miller writes, "When I used the word 'gifted' in the title, I had in mind neither children who receive high grades in school nor children talented in a special way. I simply meant all of us who have survived an abusive childhood thanks to an ability to adapt even to unspeakable cruelty by becoming numb.... Without this 'gift' offered us by nature, we would not have survived." But merely surviving is not enough. The Drama of the Gifted Child helps us to reclaim our life by discovering our own crucial needs and our own truth.]]> 136 Alice Miller 0465016901 Jeyda 0 to-read 4.05 1979 The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self
