Advaita: The Truth of Non-duality by V. Subrahmanya Iyer
‘The nature of truth is to be free from contradictions. We approach
nearer and nearer truth as we find less and less contradictions. The only
thing which is so free is non-duality’…‘This may be achieved at fi rst, as
the Upanishads say, in lightning fl ashes, in fleeting momentary glimpses,
but later this must be established into permanency. You should stabilize
them through self-recollectedness to be done throughout the day, and
through the constant reminder that the world is not separate from
yourself. It is not enough to grasp the intellectual truth of
non-duality’…‘As the man of realisation knows the world to be an idea, a
mental construct, the
sense of unifi cation and love to all mankind is simultaneously its
materialization, for he knows no difference between idea and matter. Hence
too he wishes all beings to be happy, loves even his enemy, wishes him no
harm, for he knows the truth of
universal self-identifi cation. Thus to the extent a man realises the
truth, he can do good and no more’…‘Any kind of difference means
contradiction. Nothing whatsoever other than the Atman exists. If you
think there is another entity, whether man or God, there is no truth. This
is the teaching since time immemorial of those who have inquired into
truth.’ — V. SUBRAHMANYA IYER

And So Be It by Dror Ashuah
The Angels
say:our mission is to be who you are, to know who you are and to vibrate
at your highest potential. When you do, you are the most magnificent
lighthouse and even though the storm around you surges and the wind is
blowing, your light is making all the difference to those who are seeking.
You are in the midst of a change of energy and it is intensifying.
You are coming
into a new energy. It is the energy that is marked by your year of 2012.
It is the energy of change for the entire planetary consciousness and all
of you will have to adjust to the new tune. The tune that is being
introduced to you is the one of unity consciousness. It is the tune that
delivers to you the frequency of the "New Sun." It is your time to choose
as all of you will face the dilemma of light or dark; separation or unity.
We are your messengers reminding you
of what you already know. We are here to remind you that you are indeed
loved, that you are family, and to remind you that there is never a
judgment on how far you reach. You are light and you are eternal. We wish
you to realize that everything you see around you was created for you so
you can move to where you are standing now. We wish you to take one more
step forward so you can remember who you are and remind others who they
are. We wish you to know that you are a part of God, and so be it.
Comments from readers:
"I’ve been
profoundly touched and influenced by these messages. This book has changed
my life." –Dr. M. Daronch NYC, NY
"I am speechless over
Conversation With Angels. Nothing that I say would even come close
to the experience that I am having while reading. All I can say is Thank
You." –Rev. J. Vailakis Saugerties, NY
"Conversation
with Angels is without a doubt the most important book I have read, likely
in my life, but certainly since becoming aware that I am spirit. Reading
these messages from the angels has taken my awareness to new ground,
clarified so much for me, and shed entirely new light on what is truly
important on this journey. Everything they say makes sense to me, in my
whole being, as if I have known it all already somehow… and yet they give
us such a clear sense of whom we are and why we are here, in a way that no
one else can. The angels are so full of love and support for us, and
becoming aware of them is a gift beyond measure. Reading their messages to
us is a delight and an honor that has profoundly expanded my inner world."

Welcome To Afghanistan: Send More Ammo - The Tragicomic Art of
Making War As An Imbedded Trainer In The Afghan National Army by
Benjamin Tupper
Working in teams of two, ETTs are tasked with training, leading in combat,
and mentoring the Afghan Army to victory against the thriving and brutal
Taliban insurgency. Writing and recording from a remote outpost, Benjamin
Tupper’s boots-on-the-ground dispatches were broadcast on NPR and posted
on Doonesbury’s milblog The Sandbox. Now he takes us inside the
intricacies of the war, opening up a unique and multifaceted view of
Afghan culture and war tactics. From the rush of gunfire to surreal,
euphoric moments of cross-cultural understanding, this emotional and
thought-provoking narrative is rich with humor, eloquence and
contradiction. Writing of danger and desire, confusion and camaraderie,
outrage and inspiration, Tupper illuminates the challenges of the war,
vividly bringing to life both the mundane and the extraordinary and
seeking a way forward. Readers will take away an understanding of the
Afghan people, from soldiers to interpreters to villagers, that is
critical to shaping our policies in what will soon be America’s longest
war. His journey comes full circle; from direct involvement in fighting
for Afghanistan’s future he is suddenly transported back home, haunted by
dreams and enduring the travails of PTSD. Welcome to Afghanistan
offers new insight into America’s eight-year mission, and takes readers to
a place where our warriors need us to go.

 Through
The Eyes of Mary Magdalene by Dr. Benedicta Leonilla
Ageira
The Eyes of Mary Magdalene unravels the untold truth and hidden
mysteries that are most relevant to our time.
Though the Roman Church of Constantine destroyed the roots of
Christianity, true knowledge cannot be suppressed. When a religion’s roots
are destroyed, it is no longer possible to draw spiritual substance from
its source. In our time different streams of knowledge had to connect to
that source. Research of the world’s religions and science and of the
inner and the outer worlds revealed the connectedness of the human
microcosm to the macrocosm. Sooner or later true knowledge re-emerges into
the consciousness of those who seek. Mary Magdalene has been providing
leadership by being the mirror to humankind. When you see her, you see
yourself.

Consciousness: Talks About That Which Never Changes
by Alexander Smit. Translated by André van den Brink
In our quest for the essence in life, interest seems to go out
mainly to change and improvement, and many a one has the idea that, by
striving for change, a real change may actually take place.
But is that so?
In the talks with Alexander Smit it is made very clear, that the very urge
for self-improvement and change has become one of man’s main obstacles for
realizing his true nature.
On the one hand, this urge is based on ideas and an idea can never contain
the reality. On the other hand, self-improvement and the fixation on
change are themselves causing man’s inner conflict to continue.
In the confrontation with a teacher who is
not bound by ideas, it is possible to come to
an immediate recognition of our original nature, as a result of which the
manifestation, i.e. body, mind and feeling, may be accepted completely.

War & Again:
Out of Latvia and Return
by Zigurds Engars Grigalis
“…a mosaic of human lives shaped by the forces
of World War II and by the choices of despots…”
As a small boy, Zigurds Grigalis witnessed the gruesome beginnings of
World War II in Latvia and lived through the nights of murder in his
country. He and his family moved on through the daily air raids and
bombings in Germany. He later enjoyed the peaceful surroundings of
Wisconsin and Illinois but the world was not yet at peace and Grigalis,
now a U.S. Marine, had to witness another war in Korea. These personal
experiences with turmoil and human despair locked him in on the defined
course of education. Starting during the most difficult of situations,
while in Korea, he continued for more than fifteen years to get his degree
in architecture and later added an MBA. In 1992, he returned to Latvia,
while continuing to live and work in Philadelphia. When the new government
offered the chance to retrieve pre-war personal properties, he wasted no
time and claimed his grandfather's factories and other properties in
Latvia. He organized corporations in Latvia and hired professionals in the
paper industry, to assist through the scantily organized local government
regulations. Major paper corporations from United States, several European
countries, and even a delegation from China, visited the plants in Latvia.
The conclusion of these expert visitors and the local economic conditions
played a role in the final decisions by the Grandson.

American Guru by William Yenner is a
multifaceted account of life in the contemporary spiritual community known
as EnlightenNext, and the controversial "teaching methods" of its New
York-born founder, self-proclaimed "guru" Andrew Cohen. With contributions
from several of Cohen's former students, William Yenner recalls the
thirteen-year trajectory of his career as a leader and manager in Cohen's
community--his early days as an idealistic "seeker," his years of service
on EnlightenNext's Board of Directors, his ultimate disillusionment and
departure, and his efforts to make sense of his experiences as a
once-devoted follower of a "Teacher of Evolutionary Enlightenment." With
wit and insight, Yenner and his colleagues have produced a riveting
cautionary tale on the dangers of authoritarian spirituality, and an
insider's case study on the promises and pitfalls of postmodern
discipleship.

A Year In The Life: The 1915
Daily Journal of Edward Dean, An Amenia Union Farmer by Julian
Strauss. It was Joe McEnroe bringing them homemade ice cream as they
rebuilt a one-room schoolhouse in the heat of summer that created the
After School Boys Club in Amenia, New York. After that project was
complete the septa- and octo-genarians continued to meet weekly to ponder
the present and reminisce about the past. When member Bill Burke bought a
tattered 1915 farm journal at a yard sale, a glorious new project began.
Identifying the author as Ed Dean was not difficult. Reading and
discussing the journal sparked their own memories and led to long
conversations about the farm work most Club members had known so well.
Forays were made to explore every aspect of the vanished world captured by
Dean — beekeeping, ice cutting, milking, stump-blasting, wood-cutting,
apple-growing — and aspects of the community life he recorded — the
Grange, baseball, blizzards, the movies, sleigh-rides, weddings, funerals.
The more that Club members talked about farming and its dramatic
transformation during their lifetimes, the more they realized that much of
importance has been lost with the passing of the old ways. Publishing Ed
Dean’s journal, along with their commentaries on it, offers readers both a
lesson and a gift — a lifeline back to a time some readers will remember
and some will wish they had known. "The most valuable thing we have in
life is time," notes Class Secretary Julian Strauss, "and this book is a
study of how people used to use their time."

Some Delights of the Hudson Valley
Edited & Compiled by Danny Shanahan
"A sense of humor is what lead me to my
eventual career choice, funny bartender, and then, finally, New Yorker
cartoonist. And a sense of humor is why, having edited four hundred books
of my own cartoons, I was asked to pull together the collection you now
hold in your hands. My assignment? Contact varied and interesting
contributors living or working in this area we love, the Hudson Valley,
then beg them to come up with funny material. The response was truly
astounding. The brilliant conductor/writer/college president Leon Botstein
is here, along with the legendary singer/songwriter/rocker Graham Parker.
Writer/poet/professor Robert Kelly shares a laugh, as does (out of
slashes—must use alliteration) local literary luminary Mary Gaitskill,
chiming in with a truly hilarious cartoon (who knew?). We have stars of
stage and screen: Denny Dillon, Mary Louise Wilson, and Lou Trapani, to
name a few. Rounding things out is a bevy of cartoonists and writers,
artists and poets, and whether you prefer a sly, knowing grin, a satisfied
chuckle or a full-out braying guffaw, all will make you laugh."-Danny

Radical
Sentimentality: Poems
by James Servin
What do cats, donuts, kids, Courtney Love, yoga and fresh deli produce
have in common? All have captured the attention of James Servin, a
journalist whose articles have appeared in GQ, House & Garden, Black
Book, The New York Times, British Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar,
among other publications.During the last year, he decided that he would
cheer himself up by writing a happy poem every day.
Most of the time, he was able to.
In the spirit of Louisa May Alcott and Grandma Moses, Servin offers these
(mostly) cheerful poems. The idea was not to tune out reality, but to
recognize the beauty that exists alongside everything else that’s trying
to get our attention. Staying positive in the real world almost requires a
certain kind of defiance — and that’s what this sweet-yet-knowing
collection of poems is all about. ISBN: 978-0-9789427-3-1

Unroutine And Other Poems
by Annie Coreno
Anne Elizabeth Bennet Coreno has been in love with words since she
uttered her first—apple—before she was even a year old. As a child, she
eschewed the classic Halloween costumes (witches, ghost, princesses) to
dress instead like an idiom: a bull in the china shop. Another Halloween,
she went as the Red Scare, wearing a red sheet and carrying a hammer and a
sickle. At age 12, she had her first poem “The Ugly Duckling” published in
Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans (2000 Edition). A creative writing
major at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, Annie began this collection as
part of her senior thesis. The poems arise from her detail-perfect
depiction of college life in a small New England town as well as a
cultureshocking semester abroad in the ancient city of Madurai, India; her
irreverent
retelling of growing up with an unconventional and colorful family in
lower Manhattan; and her savvy summing-up of graduating into one of the
toughest
times in American history.
UNROUTINE gives voice to a new generation beautifully educated and yet
questionably prepared for the complicated and challenging life it faces in
the 21st century.

How To Spin Gold
by Elizabeth Cunningham
New edition with preface by the author
“To be known by name was to be seen. Without a name, I was invisible
within the image, a cloak that hid no face.”
The traditional tale of Rumpelstiltskin turns on the revelation of a name.
But what if the spinner of gold has no name? What if she is a girl,
outcast from her village—welcomed only by the one she has always feared as
witch?
In this classic early novel, Elizabeth Cunningham deftly works her magic,
transforming a familiar tale into a startling encounter with our deepest
human longings. The nameless narrator’s journey from bitterness to wonder
is a profound meditation on the alchemy of the spirit.
Elizabeth Cunningham is the author of The Maeve Chronicles. She
lives in New York State’s Hudson Valley
where she continues to spin tales.

beauty and wry wisdom in this delicious fairytale for our time.”

The Mother Of God by Luna Tarlo
This is a mother’s account of her experience as a disciple of her own
son — Andrew Cohen, a well-known American guru — and of her struggle to
free herself from his control. What had been a close, affectionate
relationship slowly becomes a nightmare of domination.
The story begins quietly in India and unfolds with
growing intensity as Andrew, his mother, and a few people who have
gathered around him, travel to England, Holland, Israel, and finally the
United States, by which time Andrew is attracting hundreds of devotees to
his "meetings." The abuse of power, incessant fear, and the psychology of
obsession are all explored here from an intimate perspective.
Since brainwashing cults and their grandiose gurus are
proliferating — in this country and all over the world — this book is not
only a mother’s lament, but also a finger pointing to the growing appeal
everywhere of authoritarianism and absolutism.

where anything was possible for someone with enough motivation. However,
even though this is a compelling and meticulous memoir, the deeper
intention of the book is to warn the world about the threat posed by
anti-Semitism and Islamofascism. Larry Wenig is a man of passionate
opinions, and many readers may disagree or take offence at some of them.
But whatever your thoughts about his assessment of the world situation,
you will agree that Larry Wenig is a man of immense courage and
conviction, a survivor with a harrowing but inspiring tale to tell and a
warning to deliver. In this book, he has succeeded in doing both.ISBN:

The Oak Island Affair
by Jane Bow
The Oak Island Affair is “a wonderful story, full of adventure but
also thought-provoking...an exciting constellation of players; an
intriguing set of clues.” Catherine Marjoribanks, Toronto editor
Vanessa, a freelance
writer, is fleeing the pain of an unraveling relationship when she goes to
her grandmother’s house on Canada's east coast, near Oak Island. Here her
discovery of a 400-year old diary written by a failed Spanish Dominican
monk fuels her need to connect with the essence of romantic love, and
rekindles her obsession with an international, multi-million dollar
treasure hunt that has drawn investors, including Franklin D. Roosevelt,
from Canada, the United States and Europe for the last two hundred years.
Her arrival at a new solution to the mystery, by learning how to see
beyond the barriers of reason, plunges her into an underworld from which
"there is no turning back, where the rules that run the surface world do
not apply..."

Shallow Graves
by Rev. Goat Carson
"Rev. Goat Carson is the most un-decaffinated
writer of Hollywood cult fiction since Raymond Chandler."
- Kinky Friedman
Set in Hollywood and the Hamptons during the dead end of
the 70’s, Shallow Graves is a satirical retelling of the Parsival legend.
Our Holy Fool is the Professor, a half-breed orphan, who does research for
horror films. He finds himself pitted against a cabal of satanic cults all
vying for control of the clans at the great Feast of the Beast. Movie
stars, human sacrifice, East Hampton society and the living dead are all
strung together by thread of coincidence with needle sharp wit. The occult
pulp fictions of our times are turned on their heads (the Spear of Destiny
was stolen by Houdini at the turn of the century; Magdalene was black.)
The book is a must read for fans of the bizarre. ISBN: 978-0-9789427-2-4 /

Conversation with Angels: And So Be It
by D.B. Ashua
It is our intention to
help you realize your full potential by guiding you through the mechanism
of spirit. From our perspective it is simple. You have two main tools and
the rest is a variation on this theme. The first is love, and the second
is intent. These two are the vehicle and the fuel.
You contain all you need,
and you create what you need when you are in the now. When you are
walking hand in hand with your breath, feeling your heartbeat, you are
powerful. The joy comes from being you with you.
You are vibrating
instruments. To yourselves, you appear solid, but to us you are a
vibration. We see you in terms of your colors, we see you in term of your
light, we see you in terms of the shapes that surround you, and we can
hear your melody. You are a giant orchestra and pyrotechnic display,
combined. You are beautiful to us; you are magnificent in every way.
When a human plants a seed
of enlightenment, all around will begin to see the light. Light does not
have an agenda. Light does not try to convince anyone of its attribute.
Light just reveals what is there.
It is an awesome power to realize your oneness and to set an intention to
vibrate at a higher frequency. Discovering your true purpose and your
oneness will manifest a bridge of light that will open the path to a new
consciousness. And so be it.
