Aging for Beginners
by Ezra Bayda Elizabeth HamiltonWe all grow old. This book teaches us how to take advantage of a new phase of life: a phase of renewal and inner exploration.We’re all beginners when it comes to aging. And although the fact that we are in new territory can certainly contribute to the difficulties in dealing with getting older, it can also have a very positive side. Aging can be seen as a new phase of our life: a phase of renewal. Nowhere is this more evident than in our opportunity to devote more time to reflection and inner exploration. The result, regardless of whatever physical limitations we may be experiencing, is the possibility of cultivating and living increasingly from kindness and gratitude—two of the essential qualities of a life of satisfaction and equanimity. With techniques that are both simple and richly unfolded, this book will help readers: • learn the subtle art of being with pain • uncover the fears that amplify suffering • tap into the true sources of meaningfulness and joy

The book draws on history, philosophy, psychology, gerontology, and spirituality to deepen and expand our understanding of what it means to grow old in the twenty-first century.

AHA
by Kyle IdlemanWe've all had "aha!" moments in our lives, times when a sudden revelation surprises us with insight. According to pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman, we can experience this same kind of "aha!" in our spiritual lives. With everyday examples and trademark testimonies, Idleman draws on Scripture to reveal how three key elements can draw us closer to God and change our lives for good. Awakening to the reality of our true spiritual condition, we see ourselves and our need for a Savior with renewed honesty. This realization leads to action, obeying God's commands and following the example set by Christ. As we see in the transformation of the prodigal son, the result is a life-changing, destiny-altering collision--an AHA moment that leads us home to our loving Father.

Ahinsa: અહિંસા
by Dada Bhagwanપ્રાણીઓ, જીવજંતુ અને નાના જીવોને મારવા તે દ્રવ્ય હિંસા છે. અને બીજાને માનસિક સંતાપ આપવો, બીજા ઉપર ક્રોધ કરવો તે ભાવ હિંસા છે. માણસ ખૂબ જ પ્રયત્ન કરે છતાંપણ અહિંસક રહેવું અઘરું છે. હકીકત માં ક્રોધ, મિથ્યાભિમાન, આસક્તિ, લોભ એ ખરી હિંસા છે. દ્રવ્ય હિંસા કુદરતના કાયદા પ્રમાણે ચાલ્યા કરે છે અને તે કોઈના વશમાં નથી. કષાય ( ખરાબ ભાવ, વર્તન કે વાણી ) એ સૌથી મોટી હિંસા છે અને તેથી ભગવાને કહ્યું કે સૌથી વધારે મહત્વનું કષાય ન કરવા તે છે. આ પ્રકારની હિંસા એટલે સ્વ હિંસા અથવા ભાવ હિંસા. જો દ્રવ્ય હિંસા થાય, તો તેને થવા દો, પરંતુ કોઈપણ સંજોગો માં ભાવ હિંસા ના થવા દેવી જોઈએ. તેને બદલે લોકો દ્રવ્ય હિંસા રોકવાના પ્રયત્નો કરે છે અને ભાવ હિંસા કર્યે રાખે છે. જો કોઈ વ્યક્તિ પોતાના મનમાં નિશ્ચય કરે કે કોઈપણ સંજોગોમાં તે કોઈ જીવ ને નહિ મારે તો તે કોઈપણ જીવ હિંસામાં નિમિત્ત નહિ બને. એવા લોકો છે જેઓ દ્રવ્ય હિંસા રોકવા મક્કમ છે. તેઓ દેખીતી જીવ હિંસા અટકાવી શકશે. છતાંપણ જો તેઓ વેપારમાં પોતાની બુદ્ધિથી બીજાનો ફાયદો ઉઠાવે છે તો અને પોતાના લોભથી તેઓ ભાવ હિંસા કરવાનું ચાલુ જ રાખે છે. આ બધી હિંસા જ છે. સ્થૂળ કે સૂક્ષ્મ, હિંસા અહિંસા વિષે જ્ઞાની પુરુષે જાતે ખુલ્લું કર્યું છે તે પ્રમાણે આગળ વધારો જાણો. જેઓ અહિંસા પાળી ને મુક્તિના માર્ગે આગળ વધવા માગે છે તેને આ વાંચન નિશંક રીતે મદદગાર સાબિત થશે.
Ahinsa: अहिंसा
by Dada Bhagwanइन छोटे-छोटे जीवों को मारना, वह द्रव्यहिंसा कहलाता है और किसी को मानसिक दुःख देना, किसी पर क्रोध करना, गुस्सा होना, वह सब भावहिंसा कहलाता है। लोग चाहे जितनी अहिंसा पाले, लेकिन अहिंसा इतनी आसानी से नहीं पाली जा सकती। और वास्तव में क्रोध-मान-माया-लोभ ही हिंसा हैं। द्रव्यहिंसा कुदरत के लिखे अनुसार ही चलती है। इसमें किसी का चले, ऐसा नहीं है। इसलिए भगवान ने तो क्या कहा है कि सबसे पहले, खुद को कषाय नहीं हो, ऐसा करना। क्योंकि ये क्रोध-मान-माया-लोभ, वे सबसे बड़ी हिंसा हैं। द्रव्यहिंसा हो तो भले हो, लेकिन भाव हिंसा नहीं होनी चाहिए। लेकिन लोग तो द्रव्यहिंसा रोकते हैं और भाव हिंसा तो चलती ही रहती है। इसलिए किसी ने निश्चित किया हो कि “मुझे तो मारने ही नहीं हैं” तो भाग्य में कोई मरने नहीं आता। अब वैसे तो उसने स्थूल हिंसा बंद कर दी, कि मुझे किसी जीव को मारना ही नहीं है। लेकिन बुद्धि से मारना, ऐसा निश्चित किया, तो उसका बाज़ार खुला ही रहता है। तब वहाँ कीट पतंगे टकराते रहते हैं। और वह भी हिंसा ही है न! अहिंसा के बारे में इस काल के ज्ञानी, परम पूज्य दादाश्री के श्रीमुख से निकली हुई वाणी, इस ग्रंथ में संकलित की गई है। इसमें हिंसा और अहिंसा – दोनों के तमाम रहस्यों से पर्दा हटाया है।

AI for Creativity (AI for Everything)
by Niklas HagebackWhat is computational creativity? Can AI learn to be creative? One of the human mind’s most valuable features is the capacity to formulate creative thoughts, an ability that through quantum leap innovations has propelled us to the current digital age. However, creative breakthroughs are easier said than done. Appearing less frequently and more sporadically than desired, it seems that we have not yet fully cracked the creative code. But with the rapid advances in artificial intelligence which have come to provide an ever-closer proximity with the cognitive faculties of mankind, can this emerging technology improve our creative capabilities? What will that look like and will it be the missing link in the man–machine enigma? AI for Creativity provides a fascinating look at what is currently emerging in the very cutting-edge area of artificial intelligence and the tools being developed to enable computational creativity that holds the propensity to dramatically change our lives.
Aikido: The Life and Teachings of Robert Nadeau
by Teja Bell Laurin Herr Richard Moon Bob Noha Susan Spence Elaine Yoder• Explores Nadeau&’s personal journey and pioneering role in the spread of Aikido, including firsthand accounts and historical photographs published for the first time• Explains Nadeau&’s unique teaching, his core concepts, and basic practices centered on energy refinement, direct experience and inner transformation• Presents inspiring personal stories about Nadeau contributed by students, including Dan Millman, Richard Strozzi-Heckler, Peter Ralston, and Renée GregorioA widely influential figure in the development of Aikido in America, Robert Nadeau is known as one of the few American direct disciples of Aikido&’s founder Morihei Ueshiba Osensei. Now an 8th dan Aikido master teacher, Nadeau has taught generations of students, and several have become prominent teachers in their own right. However, he has never written about his life or philosophy, always reserving his most pointed lessons for those who practice with him in person.This book tells the story of Robert Nadeau&’s life journey and his distinctive approach to teaching Aikido as a way to access the inner energetic aspects of the art, a transformational approach with universal applications in daily life, even for non-Aikidoists. The authors explore Nadeau&’s early interest in martial arts and all things spiritual as a teenager in California in the 1950s, his seminal training under Morihei Ueshiba at Aikido Hombu Dojo in Tokyo in the 1960s, and the following six decades of training, experimenting, refining, and teaching as he worked to introduce Aikido to the wider world, even beyond the traditional dojo. They lay out Nadeau&’s core concepts, describe his simple-but-effective practices for personal development, and convey his time-tested approach to the inner training at the heart of Aikido in a very accessible way. They also include first-person accounts from Nadeau&’s students, including Dan Millman, Richard Strozzi-Heckler, Peter Ralston, and Renée Gregorio, who recall their personal experiences of training with him, retell conversations with him, and describe insights and lessons learned, sharing how he affected their lives, sometimes quite profoundly.Bringing the story of Robert Nadeau&’s life into focus, this book presents, for the first time, the profound lessons and deep impact of a pioneering teacher who&’s been central to the spread of Aikido in the West.
