The Inner Dimension examines the philosophical significance of a remarkable family of experiences central to Eastern meditation traditions and reported by creative geniuses in the West from Plato through Einstein. Research on people practicing Eastern meditation techniques indicates that these experiences reflect widely accessible universal potentials of human awareness. Prof. Shear responds to this research by exploring the significance of these experiences for a wide range of philosophical issues--self, knowledge, mind-and-matter, creativity, values, human potential--as articulated by major Western philosophers such as Plato, Descartes, Hume, Kant, Mill and Wittgenstein. Its analysis is straightforwardly empirical and non-metaphysical. Its implications, however, are revolutionary.

The Inner Dimension Insight into the Weekly Torah Portion "Open my eyes that I may gaze at the wonders of Your Torah." The Torah ideas in this book comprise some of the most fundamental themes taught by Rabbi Ginsburgh. In each chapter, one inspiring idea is highlighted, taking the reader on a fascinating journey that extends from the literal meaning to the deepest Torah mysteries, sometimes offering a new Torah perspective on the secular world. This multi-faceted approach to studying the weekly Torah portion can profoundly affect our psyches and emotions. It has the power to motivate us to refine our behavior, our relationships and our perception. As Shabbat approaches, we can prepare ourselves each week by integrating the themes revealed in the Inner Dimension of the parashah, in anticipation of the World that is all Shabbat. Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh is one of our generation's foremost expositors of Kabbalah and Chassidut and is the author of over 100 books in Hebrew, English, French, Russian, and Spanish. The interface between Torah and science is one of the areas in which he is known for his breakthrough work, forging a path in revolutionizing the way we think about the relationship between Judaism and modern science. He is also the founder and dean of the Ba'al Shem Tov School of Jewish Psychology, and his unique approach to mathematics in Torah is now the basis of a new math curriculum for Jewish schools.

Can awakened consciousness contribute to social change and, if so, how? David Nicol introduces the concept of "subtle activism" to describe the use of consciousness-based practices like meditation and prayer to support collective transformation, such as global meditation directed toward peaceful resolution of a conflict. Subtle activism represents a bridge between the consciousness movement and the movements for peace, environmental sustainability, and social justice. It is not a substitute for physical action but rather a potentially crucial component of a more integrated approach to social change. Although ancient lore is rife with tales of shamans and adepts intervening on spiritual levels for the benefit of humanity, this book is the first comprehensive treatment of this topic. Nicol grounds his consideration in the available scientific research and in dialogue with a broad range of thinkers in the fields of consciousness studies, transpersonal theory, and New Paradigm thought.

The New York Times calls him "America's number one Buddhist." He is the co-founder of Tibet House New York, was the first American Tibetan Buddhist monk, and has shared a thirty-five-year friendship with the Dalai Lama. Now, Robert Thurman presents his first completely original book, an introduction to Buddhism and "an inspiring guide to incorporating Buddhist wisdom into daily life" (USA Today). Written with insight, enthusiasm, and impeccable scholarship, Inner Revolution is not only a national bestseller and practical primer on one of the world's most fascinating traditions, but it is also a wide-ranging look at the course of our civilization--and how we can alter it for the better. "Part spiritual memoir, part philosophical treatise and part religious history, Thurman's book is a passionate declaration of the possibilities of renewing the world" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
