EXPLORING SOULS


Book Description

I think during my lifetime … i’ve been annoyed one million times. I was annoyed of lots of people and the circumstances created by them … and many times … my reactions were really ugly. I’ve blamed everyone. On and on and on. And even if i knew that it was all a reflection … when it came about my own life … i was blind and could not accept such a theory. I was living 2 parallel lives … one where i was a theoretician that is analyzing and defining life …. and one living on the scene of my real life … where i was ignoring all i was doing in the first life. It was a total nonsense to have 2 lives in the same time … instead of mixing them .. and trying to create a hybrid version for my existence. There were moments when i was laughing of myself … of how silly i was … but … Well … i was blind. I count not connect the 2 realities. I could not be … just one. It was like i had … 2 souls inside of me … which was probably the most ridiculous idea i could come with. But …. time was passing … and i was starting to understand… what was wrong. I had indeed … 2 souls. One was the self … the real one, the one connected with the Universe … and the other one was …. my ego … my fake self … which looked all the time … so damn real. I continued my life … balancing. On and on …. and on. In fact i was not applying my spiritual knowledge to my own life … and i kept being annoyed. No matter how good the curent reality was … i always found a reason … not to be satisfied … or even continue being unhappy. It was like i was ignoring … even perfect case scenarios. Well … in both of my parallel lives … i was analyzing a lot …. all around myself … but as a thinker i was looking at everything with detachment … and on the scene of reality … i was treating everything … as real. There was no … detachment. I had to mix my 2 personalities … and become just one. It was ok that i was analyzing everything and everyone … but i had to stop judging and most important to ignore … or at least to pretend i don’t see the dark side of all was going on. I had to stop being annoyed. I had this freedom of exploring souls … but i had to learn to practice … the acceptance. Being annoyed … was so, so stupid of me … cause i was annoyed of … my own reflection. … of what i disliked on myself. Exploring deeply the world and all the souls i was seeing on the scene of reality … was ok. But … the wisest thing i could do … was to let my 2 parallel lives to interfere. Apply the spiritual principles into the real life. Forget about the illusion … of myself.

Exploring the God Idea


Book Description

The author describes a unique image of God and tells how it has led him into his ninety-ninth year, physically and mentally active, in good health, and without stress or conflict. In this view, science and religion are perfectly compatible with each other, and both become consistent with teachings about God by mainstream religions. The human body, brain, and mind can learn to function in harmony with one another, aligned with God’s objectives as they are understood and taught by philosophers, prophets, and saints of old; by ministers, priests, and rabbis today; and by shamans, kahunas, and medicine men of ancient times.




The Soul of an Octopus


Book Description

Finalist for the National Book Award for Nonfiction * New York Times Bestseller * A Huffington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of the Year * One of the Best Books of the Month on Goodreads * Library Journal Best Sci-Tech Book of the Year * An American Library Association Notable Book of the Year “Sy Montgomery’s The Soul of an Octopus does for the creature what Helen Macdonald’s H Is for Hawk did for raptors.” —New Statesman, UK “One of the best science books of the year.” —Science Friday, NPR Another New York Times bestseller from the author of The Good Good Pig, this “fascinating…touching…informative…entertaining” (The Daily Beast) book explores the emotional and physical world of the octopus—a surprisingly complex, intelligent, and spirited creature—and the remarkable connections it makes with humans. In pursuit of the wild, solitary, predatory octopus, popular naturalist Sy Montgomery has practiced true immersion journalism. From New England aquarium tanks to the reefs of French Polynesia and the Gulf of Mexico, she has befriended octopuses with strikingly different personalities—gentle Athena, assertive Octavia, curious Kali, and joyful Karma. Each creature shows her cleverness in myriad ways: escaping enclosures like an orangutan; jetting water to bounce balls; and endlessly tricking companions with multiple “sleights of hand” to get food. Scientists have only recently accepted the intelligence of dogs, birds, and chimpanzees but now are watching octopuses solve problems and are trying to decipher the meaning of the animal’s color-changing techniques. With her “joyful passion for these intelligent and fascinating creatures” (Library Journal Editors’ Spring Pick), Montgomery chronicles the growing appreciation of this mollusk as she tells a unique love story. By turns funny, entertaining, touching, and profound, The Soul of an Octopus reveals what octopuses can teach us about the meeting of two very different minds.
