Perdu dans le Seigneur
by Richard G ChaberVous errez, perdu dans une forêt sans fin, pleine de beauté, d'obscurité et de désespoir, et vous tombez sur un bateau de pêche en panne. Vous êtes extrêmement épuisé à force d'essayer de trouver le chemin qui vous permettra de sortir, alors vous vous réfugiez sur le bateau en panne et, tout en regardant la subtile rivière pousser en aval, vous vous demandez s'il existe vraiment une issue et si vous la trouverez un jour. Vous avez entendu dire que si vous trouvez la sortie, quelque chose de très spécial et d'éclairant vous attend. Une sorte de trésor qui vous intrigue et éveille votre intérêt, mais la forêt vous fournit quelque chose que vous pouvez voir et ressentir, car vous n'êtes pas sûr que la sortie sera vraiment "payante" comme promis. Le chemin vers le trésor semble intimidant, mais c'est vous qui détenez la carte et la clé. Des milliards de personnes ont entendu parler de lui, mais beaucoup ne cherchent pas à le connaître. Vous dites son nom tous les jours mais beaucoup ne lui ont jamais parlé, d'autres lui parlent très souvent. Il est déroutant et pourtant si brillant, et même lorsqu'il est détesté, il aime encore plus. Il connaît vos moments les plus intimes et comprend vos luttes, et attend patiemment que vous lui disiez bonjour. La science n'a jamais réfuté l'existence de Dieu, alors même si l'on ne croit pas, il faut être ouvert à cette possibilité car Il nous montre son existence tous les jours, mais nous ne la voyons pas. Les chrétiens sont devenus nos propres pires ennemis et il est temps pour nous de restructurer la parole de Dieu et de rendre Jésus à nouveau cool. Il y a vraiment un paradis et, contrairement à la croyance populaire, il ne faut pas un effort élaboré et épuisant pour y entrer. Nous sommes tous des humains de chair et les voies de Jésus ne sont pas nos voies, comme il le dit clairement, car ses voies sont plus élevées. Nous ne pouvons pas nous conformer à ces normes et nous ne sommes
Perdurabo, Revised and Expanded Edition
by Richard KaczynskiThe name "Aleister Crowley" instantly conjures visions of diabolic ceremonies and orgiastic indulgences--and while the sardonic Crowley would perhaps be the last to challenge such a view, he was also much more than "the Beast," as this authoritative biography shows. Perdurabo (the magical name Crowley chose when inducted into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) traces Crowley's remarkable journey from his birth as the only son of a wealthy lay preacher to his death in a boarding house as the world's foremost authority on magick. Along the way, he rebels against his conservative religious upbringing; befriends famous artists, writers, and philosophers (and becomes a poet himself ); is attacked for his practice of "the black arts"; and teaches that science and magick can work together. While seeking to spread his infamous philosophy of "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law," Crowley becomes one of the most notorious figures of his day. Based on Richard Kaczynski's twenty years of research, and including previously unpublished biographical details, Perdurabo paints a memorable portrait of the man who inspired the counterculture and influenced generations of artists, punks, wiccans, and other denizens of the demimonde.
Père Marie-Benoît and Jewish Rescue: How A French Priest Together With Jewish Friends Saved Thousands During The Holocaust
by Susan ZuccottiSusan Zuccotti narrates the life and work of Père Marie-Benoît, a courageous French Capuchin priest who risked everything to hide Jews in France and Italy during the Holocaust. Who was this extraordinary priest and how did he become adept at hiding Jews, providing them with false papers, and helping them to elude their persecutors? From monasteries first in Marseille and later in Rome, Père Marie-Benoît worked with Jewish co-conspirators to build remarkably effective Jewish-Christian rescue networks. Acting independently without Vatican support but with help from some priests, nuns, and local citizens, he and his friends persisted in their clandestine work until the Allies liberated Rome. After the conflict, Père Marie-Benoît maintained his wartime Jewish friendships and devoted the rest of his life to Jewish Christian reconciliation. Papal officials viewed both activities unfavorably until after the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II), 1962-1965.To tell this remarkable tale, in addition to her research in French and Italian archives, Zuccotti personally interviewed Père Marie-Benoît, his family, Jewish rescuers with whom he worked, and survivors who owed their lives to his network.

Perfect Clarity
by Longchen Rabjam Padmasambhava Guru Rinpoche Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche Milarepa YogiFor practitioners on the paths of Dzogchen and Mahamudra, one of the greatest joys is to personally receive oral instructions from a realized teacher. The excitement of being able to train based on that advice is further enhanced by the stimulation and support that guidance manuals provide. All of the selections presented in Perfect Clarity offer incredible teachings that are inspiring and vital. Pith instructions are so simple and direct that we can easily apply them without fear of mistakes.These days, the most effective style of teaching is not lengthy scholarly explanations but rather direct guidance manuals The Dzogchen tantras themselves were written in a style that shrouds and conceals the meaning so that only a master who is extremely well-versed in oral instructions and treatises is able to clarify the meaning. On the other hand, based upon oral instructions a guidance manual is a short, comprehensive teaching written in a clear and simple manner. Such summaries of the Mahamudra and Dzogchen teachings contain all the teachings that a worthy practitioner requires to reach the state of primordial enlightenment in this very life.Tulku Urgyen RinpocheThe amazing collection in Perfect Clarity is rounded out by an introduction by Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, a preface by Marcia Dechen Wangmo, biographical data of the authors, a glossary, line drawings and photos and Tibetan source material references.
Perfect Clarity
by Michael Tweed Erik Pema Kunsang Marcia SchmidtPerfect Clarity is an anthology of essential writings on Mahamudra and Dzogchen for the student of Tibetan Buddhism. Mahamudra, a meditation practice focusing on the nature of mind, and Dzogchen, a body of teachings aimed at realizing the "great perfection" or natural, primordial state, are central to Vajrayana practitioners today. Translator Erik Pema Kunsang has selected works by legendary masters both ancient and modern. From the distant, mythic past come teachings from Guru Rinpoche (also known as Padmasambhava), the tantric master who established Vajrayana Buddhism in Tibet in the ninth century, his consort Yeshe Tsogyal, and the famous yogis Milarepa (1040-1123), and Longchenpa (1308-1363). More recent teachers included in this collection are Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910-1991), and Khenpo Ganshar, the root guru of Chogyam Trungpa, and Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche. The writings are in a variety of forms reflecting the genius of each contributor: chapters of detailed meditation instructions, inspired poems, and parable-like stories.
