The Dance of Stillness


Book Description

Richard M. Moss, David Spero, Master Charles Cannon, and Swami Shankaracharya. This book contains intimate encounters with four modern spiritual mentors who have each undergone a radical process of "energetic" spiritual awakening, often termed Kundalini Awakening and who each teach with a strong emphasis on the awakening of the deeper energies inherent in Consciousness. In a way the spiritual teachers featured herein are the modern equivalent of the ancient Tantric Masters of the East. Energetic Spiritual Awakening is the movement of the innate spiritual energy (Life Force) dwelling within all human beings. It is, quite literally - the Dance of Stillness, the decent of grace, bringing about in its wake the dissolution of the small sense of self (ego) into the Infinite Ocean of Being (True Nature) and the subsequent full embodiment of that Divine Awakening in daily life. As the process of conducting the intimate interviews featured in this book unfolded, (during a month long trip to the USA from Australia) a unique pattern emerged. During pivotal periods of their awakenings, each of the teachers had been graced with a profound encounter with the Divine Feminine. While the Divine Feminine, as such, is not the specific focus of this book, it does form an intrinsic part of the total weave, and is indeed a deep undercurrent theme in the spiritual journeys of each of the teachers featured herein. In this uncommon book you will come to see that there is no one set fixed pattern to the awakening process. You will gain a glimpse into the mystery of the Divine Feminine, Mother Shakti, as She unfolds her power within these four unique spiritual aspirants. Bringing in her wake, the dissolution of the small sense of self, into the fathomless ocean of Life Itself, Here Now!

Many of the selected poems are not widely known, and Ivan M. Granger has done a great service, not only by bringing them to public attention, but by opening their deeper meaning with his own rare poetic and mystic sensibility." ROGER HOUSDEN author of the best-selling Ten Poems to Change Your Life series "Ivan M. Granger's new anthology, The Longing in Between, gives us a unique collection of profoundly moving poetry. It presents some of the choicest fruit from the flowering of mystics across time, across traditions and from around the world. After each of the poems in this anthology Ivan M. Granger shares his reflections and contemplations, inviting the reader to new and deeper views of the Divine Presence. This is a grace-filled collection which the reader will gladly return to over and over again." LAWRENCE EDWARDS, Ph.D. author of Awakening Kundalini: The Path to Radical Freedom and Kali's Bazaar

Four Quartets


Book Description

The last major verse written by Nobel laureate T. S. Eliot, considered by Eliot himself to be his finest work Four Quartets is a rich composition that expands the spiritual vision introduced in “The Waste Land.” Here, in four linked poems (“Burnt Norton,” “East Coker,” “The Dry Salvages,” and “Little Gidding”), spiritual, philosophical, and personal themes emerge through symbolic allusions and literary and religious references from both Eastern and Western thought. It is the culminating achievement by a man considered the greatest poet of the twentieth century and one of the seminal figures in the evolution of modernism.
