Occultism is not magic. It is comparatively easy to learn the trick of spells and the methods of using the subtler, but still material, forces of physical nature; the powers of the animal soul in man are soon awakened; the forces that his love, his hate, his passion, can call into operation are readily developed. But this is Black Magic–Sorcery. For it is the motive, and the motive alone, that makes any exercise of power become black, malignant, or white, beneficent Magic.

Nothing seems more real than the minds of other people. When you consider what your boss is thinking or whether your spouse is happy, you are admitting them into the "mind club". It's easy to assume other humans can think and feel, but what about a cow, a computer, a corporation? What kinds of minds do they have? Daniel M. Wegner and Kurt Gray are award-winning psychologists who have discovered that minds - while incredibly important - are a matter of perception.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. În realitate, karma nu are nimic de-a face cu recompensa și cu pedeapsa. Karma înseamnă pur și simplu acțiune: acțiunea ta, responsabilitatea ta. Nu este un sistem extern de crimă și pedeapsă, ci un ciclu intern, generat chiar de tine. Acumularea karmei este determinată doar de intențiile tale și de modul în care răspunzi la ce ți se întâmplă. În timp, e posibil să devii înlănțuit de propriile tipare inconștiente de comportament.

Revelation of God — Volume I opens a rational philosophical exploration into the nature of consciousness, free will, and human responsibility. Rather than approaching these questions through belief or doctrine, this audiobook examines them through structure, causality, and awareness. This volume challenges the assumption that the world we perceive is ultimate reality. It explores why consciousness is not simply a product of the brain, how choice operates within lawful constraints, and why responsibility marks the maturity of awareness.

Anyone familiar with Russell's works will find a common theme running through the material: Despite being published over a century ago, his thoughts and philosophy remain remarkably a propos today. Russell argues AGAINST the possessive impulse that global capitalism stimulates in humans and which only benefits the possessor, and FOR the creative impulse, which benefits not only the creator but humankind as a whole. He also supports the establishment of an international parliament to address nation-to-nation conflicts—a palatable alternative to war.

Being in flow is when you are “in the zone,” “on your game,” or even “on fire.” It is both a mental state and a physical one. You have a feeling of complete focus, full involvement, and deep enjoyment in whatever you are doing. You feel the activity takes no energy from you—indeed you feel that it is giving you energy. You barely notice the passage of time. You feel calm but almost ecstatic. Most of us have glimpsed being in this state. But what if you could be in your zone not just for a moment of flow, nor merely for a day, but always and forever? This book shows you how.
