Die kleine Katze Maya hat es gut bei der reichen Witwe Alma – wenn da nicht dieses ständig nagende Gefühl von Unzufriedenheit und innerer Leere wäre. So verlässt Maya ihr vertrautes Samtkissen und begibt sich auf die Suche nach Sinn und Erfüllung.

When a meditation teacher has few students, he or she can provide one-on-one instruction. However, with the advent of hundreds or thousands of pupils, it is impractical if not impossible to provide the same level of attention. In movements such as the Radhasoami tradition where there are hundreds of thousands (and sometimes millions) of adherents, the designated master can only spend very limited time with the vast majority of his or her disciples.

OM C. Parkin führt in den weiten Raum innerer Stille. "Es ist dieses Innerste, das Bewusstsein selbst, welches die Welt absorbiert, transzendiert – anstrengungslos. Es ist nichts einfacher, als loszulassen und einzukehren in dich selbst. Du kennst diesen Ort, er ist dir nicht fremd, er ist dein Zuhause. Es ist deine Seele, die dein Zuhause ist. Folge diesem Ruf, der leise ist, schweigsam, still."

We know science is awesome, as are its achievements. Yet so far, scientists have managed to sidestep the most awesome reality of all: the true nature of human life, the source of their own genius. How is it that in the overwhelming immensity of the cosmos, on microscopic Earth, human beings exist? We have not yet looked reality in the face and perceived the nobility and grandeur of who we are, each of us having a responsibility in the universe and being part of a vast and continuing process.

This book proposes that the ability to recognize and respond to the differences between what we "see" and others "see" is the key reason for individuals, groups, and organizations to succeed or to fail. How we perceive differences and respond to them changes the way our brain develops and how our systems are designed.

Our minds are rebellious. The mind exists as though it has a mind of its own. Once you try to control the mind, it repels our efforts in ways that we cannot understand. Consequently, through meditation, this can be solved. Looking at the bigger picture, meditation not only helps in learning how to control the mind. It also assists in helping people take control of their lives. Frankly, we all seek happiness in this life. However, we are often confused with the direction that we ought to take. This happens because there is a lot that we have to deal with.

As author Darren Cockburn explains, we are all part of one big universal process that encompasses and connects everything - every thought, emotion, action, nature, all there is. Over the centuries, religions and philosophies have provided direction on how to act ethically and in accordance with this process, yet in our modern world, these “rules” may seem outdated or too rigid. Integrating and updating existing guidance from Buddhism, Yoga, and other great teachings, the author offers 7 guidelines for living a life of harmony and balance....
