The Ultimate: Your Self Revealed
by Marie S. WattsWhat is the Ultimate? At first glance the title to this book, The Ultimate, may seem to present a challenge, or it could appear presumptuous. However, the answer to the above question will disclose that neither of these attitudes is implied.The Ultimate is that glorious point in revelation where the long struggle for Spiritual understanding is ended, where ever-present perfection is realized to be the entirety of the Life, Soul, Being, and Body of the seeker. Of course this does not mean that all revelation has come to an end. Rather it is from this point that the Truth reveals Itself from within in ever-increasing Light and clarity. Here you stand in the Light as the Light; and the Light is Consciousness, YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS.In the Ultimate there is no dualism. Here there is conscious awareness that God is in the Universe as the Universe. God is recognized to be the Life, Mind, Soul, Substance, and Body of all that has existence. This infinite Self-containment includes YOU, your entire Life, Mind, Soul, Substance, Being, Body, and Experience.
The Ultra Mindset: An Endurance Champion's 8 Core Principles for Success in Business, Sports, and Life
by John Hanc Travis MacyTravis Macy summited glacial peaks in the French Alps, rappelled into vast limestone caves in China, and ran through parched deserts in Utah. Most famously, he won one of the country's marquee ultra-distance events: Leadman, a high-altitude series of super-long-distance races, culminating with a 100-mile mountain biking race and a 100-mile trail run. Macy accomplished it without exceptional strength, speed, or flexibility, and without high-tech performance labs or performance-enhancing drugs. His secret? A precise and particular outlook he calls the "Ultra Mindset," principles for daily life that are neither mysterious nor the sole province of ascetics or elite athletes: embrace fear, rewrite stories we tell ourselves, and master the art of seeking help, among others. By applying the principles such as "It's All Good Mental Training," "When you have no choice, anything is possible," and "Never quit. . . except when you should quit" to other areas of life, anyone can find success that otherwise would have seemed impossible. Coauthored with award-winning running writer and journalist John Hanc, The Ultra Mindset blends exciting personal memoir with actionable, research-based advice. Dramatic stories of Macy's far-flung experiences in the professional endurance-racing world lead into relevant mindset principles, reflective self-assessments, mind- and body-enhancing workouts and activities, and compelling case studies. Macy's stories keep the pages turning as you forge your own winning outlook for success in business, sports, and life.

The Uncommon Book of Prayer: A Guide to Co-Creating with the Universe
by Heidi SmithBuild and deepen your personal spiritual practice with this empowering, radical reframing of prayer as a secular tool for healing, personal growth, societal change, and profound joy. Prayer is an ancient practice—one that has been utilized and embraced by cultures around the world and across time. There is not one correct way to pray, and no tradition holds a monopoly on what prayer is or means. In The Uncommon Book of Prayer author, psychosomatic therapist, and flower essence practitioner Heidi Smith reveals that prayer does not even need to be practiced within a religious tradition, though it can be. Instead, she reintroduces readers to the idea of prayer as a highly personal practice that can bring joy and enlightenment, heal deeply felt trauma, and work toward planetary healing. Readers will encounter a new definition of prayer: An active agreement that you make between your soul and the Divine (whatever that means to you). It is a sacred practice that can be called upon to bring about states of grace, healing, and change. Through this expansive, heart-centered experience readers will explore their own existing feelings about prayer and learn to build a personal practice that is authentic and sustaining. In inviting chapters grounded with historical context, sample prayers, and stunning illustrations inspired by illuminated manuscripts, readers will learn to: Refine a prayer practice. Explore ambivalence around prayer and some of its difficult associations. Integrate a prayer practice into co-creative and healing work. Facilitate prayer circles in your community. Open and strengthen communication with the heart, our most potent tool of resonance and the seat of true wisdom in the body. Create space and possibility for hope and dreaming (which are not frivolous, but instead life-sustaining and changing practices). Create vital and creative solutions for your life and our world. There are many ways in to healing. A conscious prayer practice formed by reading The Uncommon Book of Prayer is a way into co-creating with the universe and accessing all the gifts that lie therein.
The Undefeated Mind: On the Science of Constructing an Indestructible Self
by Dr. Alex LickermanLegions of self-help authors rightly urge personal development as the key to happiness, but they typically fail to focus on its most important objective: hardiness. Though that which doesn't kill us can make us stronger, as Nietzsche tells us, few authors today offer any insight into just how to springboard from adversity to strength. It doesn't just happen automatically, and it takes practice. New scientific research suggests that resilience isn't something with which only a fortunate few of us have been born, but rather something we can all take specific action to develop. To build strength out of adversity, we need a catalyst. What we need, according to Dr. Alex Lickerman, is wisdom—wisdom that adversity has the potential to teach us. Lickerman's underlying premise is that our ability to control what happens to us in life may be limited, but we have the ability to establish a life-state to surmount the suffering life brings us. The Undefeated Mind distills the wisdom we need to create true resilience into nine core principles, including: A new definition of victory and its relevance to happiness The concept of the changing of poison into medicine A way to view prayer as a vow we make to ourselves. A method of setting expectations that enhances our ability to endure disappointment and minimizes the likelihood of quitting An approach to taking personal responsibility and moral action that enhances resilience A process for managing pain—both physical and emotional—that enables us to push through obstacles that might otherwise prevent us from attaining our goals A method of leveraging our relationships with others that helps us manifest our strongest selves Through stories of patients who have used these principles to overcome suffering caused by unemployment, unwanted weight gain, addiction, rejection, chronic pain, retirement, illness, loss, and even death, Dr. Lickerman shows how we too can make these principles function within our own lives, enabling us to develop for ourselves the resilience we need to achieve indestructible happiness. At its core, The Undefeated Mind urges us to stop hoping for easy lives and focus instead on cultivating the inner strength we need to enjoy the difficult lives we all have.
The Undeniable Favor of God: Achieving My Present by Walking in the Light of God's Love
by Elizabeth Jean BruceA licensed psychologist and trauma expert shares the story of how she met life&’s challenges and achieved personal fulfillment through faith. Having a sense of purpose significantly contributes to the quality of our lives. Many people experience God-given &“callings&” to achieve distinctive goals in life. These yearnings give us a sense of fulfillment by showing how we fit into the wholeness of creation. But discovering our purpose and establishing a major long-term goal are only the first steps of the journey. We must also understand what is required of us to reach our final destination, and make sure to note the milestones we achieve along the way. There will be difficult periods during the journey. To see our way through them, it helps to surround ourselves with people who strengthen our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. We must also utilize our faith in God, who keeps us fortified to endure disheartening times. Dr. Bruce believes that wonderful things happen as life unfolds. In The Undeniable Favor of God, she teaches others how to focus on the beauty, truth, and light of life.
