The Path to God's Heart


Book Description

Bernard Huber was born in France in 1954 and is today pastor in the Reformed Church of Switzerland. He has been deeply involved in development aid in India and with the Bartimaeus Project for many years. He spends part of his time in India every year. He discovered very soon that people in great material need are also in need of spiritual help. So he introduced the Prayer of Stillness amongst Indian Christians many years ago, and has been able to see incredible changes taking place in the lives of those who faithfully practise this form of prayer. The Prayer of Stillness leads us to a place where we can rediscover our own hearts and learn to use our innate strength and energy in a more healthy way. Many individuals in the vast ocean of mankind have feelings of insecurity, and become aware of the fact that a person needs a retreat they can retire to whenever they feel the need. We need to find our innermost selves and to rediscover God; the Prayer of Stillness will help us along the path to the ultimate goal. The time has come for the Christian world to realise that changing anything of any importance is going to demand a sacrifice, and that we are the ones who will have to make that sacrifice.




The Art of Stillness


Book Description

"In The Art of Stillness, Iyer draws on the lives of well-known wanderer-monks like Cohen--as well as from his own experiences as a travel writer who chooses to spend most of his time in rural Japan--to explore why advances in technology are making us more likely to retreat. Iyer reflects that this is perhaps the reason why many people--even those with no religious commitment--seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi. These aren't New Age fads so much as ways to rediscover the wisdom of an earlier age."--Publisher's description.







Opening to Darkness


Book Description

“In darkness, we become devoted to clarity, courage, peace, and harmony. We discover the basic goodness of all humanity when we experience darkness together,” Zenju Earthlyn Manuel writes. “Life itself is a dark experience—a magical experience.” When you hear the word “darkness,” what does it make you feel—horror, danger, or maybe despair? We’ve been conditioned to fear and avoid darkness and blackness, yet Zenju Earthlyn Manuel challenges us to consider: “What if we chose to go deeper into darkness instead of running from it? What might we find there beyond our longing for light?” Drawing on the ancient wisdom found in Zen Buddhism and African and Native American indigenous traditions, Osho Zenju reveals how a change in perspective and increased wisdom can help us awaken to the sacredness of dark experiences in our lives—so we may experience a reality beyond avoidance and fear. Opening to Darkness will take you on a courageous journey into the mandala of darkness, a symbolic expression of your inner world, where you will travel through eight gateways that are inspired by Buddha’s Eightfold Path. Along your way, you will meet dark mothers from India, Nigeria, Japan, Haiti, and Dahomey, who both protect and destroy. Osho Zenju provides reflective inquiry, blessings, and meditations as you navigate your way through the vast depths of the unseen. It is through this spiritual pilgrimage that we learn how to: • Experience the wonders of life that can flourish only in the dark • Discover a collective doorway to healing and deep transformation • Awaken to the illusory nature of light versus dark • Illuminate false perceptions and beliefs of darkness • Heal the fear and anxiety around darkness and blackness Wrapped in gorgeous lyrical prose, Osho Zenju’s offerings provide deep soul relief and collective strength to embrace the dark—so we may reunite with the sacred process of darkness that flows through the canvas of our lives.

Remembering Awake will guide you to a safe frequency where you can experience the bliss of a vulnerable heart, with no protective prison walls keeping it from sharing its love and wisdom. This book will help you remember that all the energies of what you see as your reality are fragments of the same cosmic soul discovering a way to tune their unique note into the celestial harmony of creation’s symphony. It is time for our soul to awaken to its true potential and collectively create a more loving reality. This book is a guidebook on how to do that. It will help you understand how important and perfect your soul’s journey through time has been. It will help your mind relax and melt into harmony with all the dimensions of our consciousness. Remembering Awake will help you open the prisons your limbic system has placed you in and dissolve some of the amnesia that keeps you from remembering that only one unconditionally loving soul is here “playing Earth.” Through this profound awakening, you will set your mind and soul free to love all it encounters and feel a peace within that you never dreamed existed. Dr. Julie Foster’s mind was trapped in slumber for the first fifty years of her life. In 2020, her hands “turned on,” and she began to feel the energetic entanglements in her patients and humanity that are the root cause of our diseases. She learned that the prescriptions she wrote as a medical doctor were just bandages which quieted symptoms. This epiphany opened her mind and gave her the desire to find a way to help her patients cure, rather than conceal, their diseases. Through an open heart, she remembered we all have a God particle that creates our human suit and can be one with all energy in existence. She learned to surrender and let “God heal God” by connecting to the God particle in those who came to her for healing. We are the world teacher. Every fragment of our soul has wisdom to share. This book will help you awaken so you can feel blessed by the loving wisdom you have exchanged with others’ souls through choosing to play Earth. Julie ends many blogs with, “I love you. We got this.” By the end of the book, you will embody the cosmic vibration of those words and share it in your interactions with other amazing versions of your soul. It is time to discover the joy of remembering who you truly are by “loving open.” Julie’s loving stories on how we heal will guide you to this reality.




Stillness Is the Key


Book Description

Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller & Wall Street Journal Bestseller In The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, bestselling author Ryan Holiday made ancient wisdom wildly popular with a new generation of leaders in sports, politics, and technology. In his new book, Stillness Is the Key, Holiday draws on timeless Stoic and Buddhist philosophy to show why slowing down is the secret weapon for those charging ahead. All great leaders, thinkers, artists, athletes, and visionaries share one indelible quality. It enables them to conquer their tempers. To avoid distraction and discover great insights. To achieve happiness and do the right thing. Ryan Holiday calls it stillness--to be steady while the world spins around you. In this book, he outlines a path for achieving this ancient, but urgently necessary way of living. Drawing on a wide range of history's greatest thinkers, from Confucius to Seneca, Marcus Aurelius to Thich Nhat Hanh, John Stuart Mill to Nietzsche, he argues that stillness is not mere inactivity, but the doorway to self-mastery, discipline, and focus. Holiday also examines figures who exemplified the power of stillness: baseball player Sadaharu Oh, whose study of Zen made him the greatest home run hitter of all time; Winston Churchill, who in balancing his busy public life with time spent laying bricks and painting at his Chartwell estate managed to save the world from annihilation in the process; Fred Rogers, who taught generations of children to see what was invisible to the eye; Anne Frank, whose journaling and love of nature guided her through unimaginable adversity. More than ever, people are overwhelmed. They face obstacles and egos and competition. Stillness Is the Key offers a simple but inspiring antidote to the stress of 24/7 news and social media. The stillness that we all seek is the path to meaning, contentment, and excellence in a world that needs more of it than ever.
