True wealth is not about buckets of cash. True wealth is not about designer clothes. It is not about a new Mercedes. It is not about living in a palatial estate. True wealth is about discovering the value within yourself and the value within other people. It is about a kind of conscious living that incorporates gratitude, a belief in abundance, and the experience of joy. Based on the recent discoveries of theoretical physics and a close reading of inspirational classics of the last century, Gikandi creates a new model for the creation of personal wealth; a new model that shows readers how to create abundance by saving, giving, offering charity, and building happy relationships.

At long last, an accessible little book that focuses on the teachings of Rumi's teacher and inspiration, Shams of Tabriz. Included in this slim, charming volume is a biographical sketch of the great Sufi teacher and mystic and a new translation of 500 of his core teachings that bring into fresh focus the meaning and mysteries of life and love.There are many books on Rumi and many translations of his works and yet most readers are unaware of how Rumi became a mystic. Shams, an Arabic word that means the sun, was the catalyst that converted the rather resolute and ascetic Rumi, the cleric and teacher, into Rumi, the passionate disciple of the religion of love. He was the agent of the propulsive mystical energy that transformed Rumi the reticent into Rumi the ecstatic poet.Rumi lovers, spiritual seekers, and devotees of the mystical path will meet this little book of wisdom and mystical secrets with enthusiasm.I shall not place you in my heartFor you may get hurt by its wounds.I won't keep you in my eyesFor I may belittle you andexpose you to the ridicule of common men.I will hide you inside my soul, not in my heart or in my eyes, so that you may become one with my breath.
Rowdy, ecstatic, and sometimes stern, these teaching stories and fables reveal new and very human properties in Rumi's vision. Included here are the notorious Latin parts that Reynold Nicholson felt were too unseemly to appear in English in his 1920s translation. For Rumi, anything that human beings do--however compulsive--affords a glimpse into the inner life.Here are more than 40 fables or teaching stories that deal with love, laughter, death, betrayal, and the soul. The stories are exuberant, earthy, and bursting with vitality--much like a painting by Hieronymus Bosch or Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The characters are guilty, lecherous, tricky, ribald, and finally possessors of opened souls.Barks writes: These teaching stories are a kind of scrimshaw--intricately carved, busy figures, confused and threatening, and weirdly funny.This is an entertaining collection from one of the greatest spiritual poets of all time, rendered by his most popular translator.The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.--Rumi
Modern science - and likewise modern culture - likes to celebrate the battle of opposites: good or evil right or wrong. Yet according to scientists Targ and Hurtak this black-and-white worldview makes us feel separate from God and heightens our experience of suffering. In an effort to overcome the perceived polarity of opposites and the accompanying suffering the authors combine the wisdom of the East with the findings of quantum physics and uncover a middle ground that shows opposing sides are really the same.

The essential Taoist guide to living with simplicity, compassion, and integrityThis is a book that draws on ancient Chinese wisdom to explore the critical life issues: What is our place in nature? How do we make right decisions? How do we respect the earth? How are we to view life and death? What is the path we should live to truly achieve a good and meaningful life?For Deng Ming-Dao, the two entry points for this exploration are two words: The first is the Chinese word for "heart"-- which means heart, mind, intention, center, core intelligence, and soul. And the second is the word beauty--which connotes the pleasure we take in art, design, fashion, and music. Our hearts love beauty, and beauty opens our hearts.In this profound collection of fresh and contemporary translations of ancient texts, Deng Ming-Dao gathers over 220 selections that deal with the essence of heart and beauty. Topics include: how to be great, how long it takes to follow your heart, how to bring order to the world, how to know everything, how to pacify the heart, and much more. Here are stories, fables, poems, and epigrams that delight, inspire, and inform.Those who would subdue people through their own "excellence"Have yet to subdue anyone.But if you used excellence to nurture people instead, The whole world would be subdued.No one has become ruler of all under heavenWithout subdued hearts.It has never happened.

In short, quantum physics is indeed the theory of everything.Here in 17 chapters, Dr. Goswami and his friends and colleagues discuss, among other things, how quantum physics affects our understanding of: ZenThoughts, feelings, and intuitionsDreamsKarma, death, and reincarnationGod's will, evolution, and purposeThe meaning of dreamsThe spiritualization of economics and business, politics and education, and society itselfThis fascinating new book will appeal to a wide array of readers, ranging from those interested in the new physics to those captivated by the spiritual implications of the latest scientific breakthroughs.
