Absolution: A Novel
by Regina ButtnerJeanie thinks she was to blame for the sexual assault she suffered in college—and she’d do anything to keep her old-school Catholic family from finding out about the resulting pregnancy, as well as what she did to conceal it.Years have passed since the assault, and Jeanie’s husband, Greg, still thinks she’s the seemingly innocent girl he married in a rush to spite his controlling mother. It’s the height of the Seattle dot-com boom, and he’s too busy cashing in his stock options to pay attention to his wife. He isn’t aware of Jeanie’s lingering shame and guilt, or that she married him in the desperate hope that devoting herself to marriage and motherhood would somehow absolve her from the sins in her past.Their hidden agendas collide when Greg discovers evidence of Jeanie’s long-ago pregnancy. As she confesses the details of that drunken night with her married professor, Greg’s pristine image of her is blown. His shock deepens into violent fury, and Jeanie realizes she needs to leave him—but Greg won’t let her go. He’s up for a big promotion, and he’s not about to let her ruin his reputation by walking out on him. He’ll resort to blackmail if necessary. Or worse.

Absorption in No External World: 170 Issues in Mind-Only Buddhism
by Jeffrey HopkinsDzong-ka-ba's The Essence of Eloquence is still considered so important to Tibetan Buddhists that the Dalai Lama keeps a copy with him wherever he goes. This book examines many fascinating points raised in six centuries of Tibetan and Mongolian commentary concerning the first two sections of this text: the Prologue, and the section on the Mind-Only School. By providing vivid detail, Jeffrey Hopkins reveals the liveliness of Tibetan scholastic controversies, showing the dynamism of thoughtful commentary and stimulating the reader's metaphysical imagination. In the process of examining 170 issues, this volume treats many engaging points on Great Vehicle presentations of the three natures and the three non-natures, including how to apply these to all phenomena, the selflessness of persons, and the emptiness of emptiness. It concludes with a delineation of the approaches through which the Mind-Only School interprets scriptures.This stand-alone book is the final volume of a trilogy on Mind-Only that Hopkins composed over a period of twenty-two years. His heavily annotated translation of the first two sections of Dzong-ka-ba's text is contained in the first volume, Emptiness in the Mind-Only School of Buddhism, along with a historical and doctrinal introduction, a detailed synopsis of the text, and a critical edition. The second volume, Reflections on Reality: The Three Natures and Non-Natures in the Mind-Only School, provides historical and social context, a basic presentation of the three natures, the two types of emptiness in the Mind-Only School, and the contrasting views of Dol-bo-ba Shay-rap-gyel-tsen of the Jo-nang-ba order of Tibetan Buddhism.
Abstract Objects: For and Against (Synthese Library #422)
by José L. Falguera Concha Martínez-VidalThis volume examines the question “Do abstract objects exist?”, presenting new work from contributing authors across different branches of philosophy. The introduction overviews philosophical debate which considers: what objects qualify as abstract, what do we mean by the word "exist” and indeed, what evidence should count in favor or against the thesis that abstract objects exist. Through subsequent chapters readers will discover the ubiquity of abstract objects as each philosophical field is considered.Given the ubiquitous use of expressions that purportedly refer to abstract objects, we think that it is relevant to attend to the controversy between those who want to advocate the existence of abstract objects and those who stand against them. Contributions to this volume depict positions and debates that directly or indirectly involve taking one position or other about abstract objects of different kinds and categories. The volume provides a variety of samples of how positions for or against abstract objects can be used in different areas of philosophy in relation to different matters.

Abuela Ayahuasca: Medicina vegetal y el cerebro psicodélico
by Christian Funder• Examina cómo la ayahuasca afecta el cerebro desde una perspectiva neurocientífica y la manera en que sus efectos sobre la conciencia se relacionan con antiguos textos esotéricos• Comparte entrevistas con personas que han experimentado los poderosos efectos de la ayahuasca como &“médico espiritual&”, y su propio viaje desde la depresión suicida hasta la paz del alma• Investiga cómo se entrelazan la ayahuasca y las antiguas prácticas del chamanismo del AmazonasElaborada a partir de una combinación de dos plantas (las hojas de Psychotria viridis y la liana Banisteriopsis caapi), la ayahuasca ha sido utilizada durante milenios por tribus indígenas del Alto Amazonas para la sanación y la exploración espiritual. Los chamanes de la Amazonia peruana llaman al espíritu vegetal que habita esta liana "Abuela Ayahuasca".Al explorar la historia, tradición, uso chamánico, efectos psicoactivos y estudios científicos actuales, Christian Funder demuestra que la Abuela Ayahuasca es una sanadora profunda, una maestra sabia y una guía transformadora. Desde una perspectiva neurocientífica, el autor presenta investigaciones recientes de los efectos del DMT—uno de los componentes psicoactivos de la ayahuasca— así como estudios de resonancia magnética funcional de la actividad cerebral durante estados alterados. Funder explora estos hallazgos en relación con las enseñanzas sobre los estados unificados de conciencia en antiguos textos esotéricos y con la teoría de Aldous Huxley sobre los psicodélicos que inhiben el mecanismo de la "válvula reguladora" del cerebro.Funder comparte entrevistas con personas que han experimentado los poderosos efectos de la ayahuasca como "médico espiritual" y narra su propio viaje de sanación desde la depresión suicida hasta la paz interna. También explora la relación de la ayahuasca con el chamanismo indígena amazónico, incluyendo una mirada al interior de la tribu shipibo y los cantos curativos conocidos como ícaros.Al ofrecer una imagen holística de la ayahuasca, desde la ciencia hasta el espíritu, el autor muestra que esta venerada infusión alucinógena tiene un inmenso potencial terapéutico y podría ser la conexión chamánica perdida hace mucho tiempo con la mente sagrada de Gaia.
