Like climbing Mount Everest, this book requires courage and a willingness to explore new perspectives. But the view from the summit—connecting listeners who seek profound insights—is worth the effort! About 2500 years ago, Gautama Buddha lived and walked this earth for 45 years after his awakening. Many people took notes through great aural traditions, and in three baskets or huge gatherings, the teaching was codified in a few Sacred Sutras. One of the oldest was a fragmented work containing the secrets of Yogachara. Eventually, it led to Chan and Zen.

Pissed and on the verge of ripping someone to shreds, I didn’t think before I ran off into the forest during a full moon. Not the smartest move.... I know. So of course, I was attacked by a thirsty vampire only to be saved by another.

The Enlightenment is one of the formative periods of Western history, yet more than 300 years after it began, it remains controversial. It is often seen as the fountainhead of modern values such as human rights, religious toleration, freedom of thought, scientific thought as an exemplary form of reasoning and rationality and evidence-based argument. Others accuse the Enlightenment of putting forward a scientific rationality which ignores the complexity and variety of human beings, propagates shallow atheism and aims to subjugate nature to so-called technical progress.

It’s kind of tricky to meditate in this age, and I’ve figured out a way to make it easy for you. It’s to meditate to music. I have created a number of albums, which are designed to meditate to. If you sit, if you make your mind quiet, if you’re still and you listen to the music, the music will do two things.

The Enlightenment has been nothing if not divisive, being blamed for bloody disasters - Auschwitz, the gulags, Islamic terrorism - as well as being heralded as the harbinger of reason and equality. To this day historians disagree over when it was, where it was, and what it was. Kieron O’Hara deftly traverses these conflicts, presenting the history, ideology, culture, and social life of the Enlightenment, not as a simple set of easily enumerated ideas, but rather as an evolving conglomerate that spawned a diverse set of thinkers.

This audiobook is more as a flow of consciousness about what enlightenment is and experiences of the enlightened than most of my books. The intent was to help put the listener into more of a meditative state while listening to it than the analytical approaches I usually take to each subject. The organization of the material is also in no particular order. If your consciousness starts to expand while listening to the audiobook, then I have accomplished my mission.

The Enlightenment is looked upon fondly, and it serves to reinforce the notion that the present is superior to the past, but things did not change as rapidly or as completely as many believe. In fact, some recent historians have challenged the belief that the Enlightenment was responsible for the French Revolution, which is a vital issue when it comes to Voltaire. After all, Voltaire, as his contemporaries and as most of his modern listeners know him, is widely regarded as the pinnacle of Enlightenment thought.

One of the towering figures of the age was Jean Jacques Rousseau, whose works were essential to the ideological developments of the 18th century. The prestige of French literature in the 18th century resides especially in its revolutionary character; while the writers of the previous century used to support the social order through their works and showed sympathy and even attempted to explain the political order of the time.
