Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a child growing up in a small midwestern town, Reverend O. L. Johnson never attended church. God, Jesus, and salvation meant nothing to him. It would take yearsalong with military service, marriage, children, and divorcebefore he would come to discover the wonderful meaning behind those words. From Ignorance to Enlightenment details Johnsons remarkable journey to find God. He goes into the very heart of his search as he struggles to understand the role of the church in his life, the glory of salvation, and Gods plan for his life. From his early days in the church and his complete ignorance of the Gospels good news to his eventual spiritual awakening and acceptance of Christ as his savior, Johnson reveals all. In addition to his own walk in Christ, Johnson addresses practical issues of many Christians today. He delves into the Scriptures to find answers to questions such as why the local church exists, what it means to be a new creature in Christ, and how we can know we are saved. On the day Johnson dropped the face of righteousness and embraced his new life in Christ, he truly became born again. Walk with him on his voyage and discover how Jesus can transform your life!

Book excerpt: In this collection of articles, Venerable Master Hsing Yun shares his reflections, insights, and wisdom intended to inspire, enlighten, and motivate us to live a better life. ''In reality,'' he writes, ''ignorance and enlightenment lie in just a thought! A thought of ignorance may cause sorrow and pain, while an inspiration of enlightenment can bring out the sun of wisdom. If we change our views and outlook on life, we can change our destiny.'' Such words are characteristic of the Master's writing in this book, often unexpectedly pointing the way to breakthroughs in our spiritual journey and growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Goes through the entire gamut of topics covered by the Vedas, making use of yoga, detachment, the ego, karma, dharma, love, meditation and much more.” —East and West Magazine This complete guide to enlightenment presents the wisdom of the ancient science of self-inquiry, a time-tested means for achieving spiritual freedom. The author discusses the purpose of self-inquiry, the quest for lasting happiness, issues of identity and transcendence, the role of wisdom and action, and the subconscious obstacles to freedom. He convincingly refutes the popular view that enlightenment is a unique state of consciousness and debunks a host of other enlightenment myths. In his straightforward style he reveals proven methods for purifying the mind, and includes chapters on love, the science of energy transformation and meditation. He takes the reader from the beginning to the end of the spiritual path, patiently unfolding the logic of self-inquiry. “Vedanta is the original systemized enlightenment teaching, and James does an extraordinary job of extracting the essential nectar of the teachings from its dusty, ancient, Sanskrit origins and elucidating it with utmost clarity. One review cannot do this teaching, with its rich history and depth, even a modicum of justice. James’s book is the best introduction there is to this subject.” —Consciousness Junkie “Explains methods of Vedanta in his survey of spiritual techniques, pairing theory with practice and explaining the myths and realities behind an enlightened state. From reflections on moving to a larger living space and clutter to assimilating experiences, How to Attain Enlightenment is a powerful survey any new age library needs.” —The Bookwatch

Book excerpt: Why a book about fallacies? Why be so negative and focus on what is wrong? Well, first of all because correcting wrong notions is an important part of any teaching, second because it becomes an excuse to propose correct understanding in the context of misunderstanding. For this reason, I have examined common ideas and beliefs that have become widely accepted, but which upon closer examination are seen to be fallacious. Here are a few examples: * Our only obstacle keeping us from fully awakening is our mind - therefore we must stop the mind. * To attain Spiritual enlightenment, you must still your mind, detach from all the worldly distractions. * The very entry point into the ego-less state or the enlightened state is the present moment. The ego can only be transcended by accessing the present moment. * Our own intense emotions - even negative ones - can be a path for spiritual growth towards enlightenment. * The common basic definition of enlightenment is that the enlightened one lives in total and constant contact with the divine, that this persons ego is permanently dissolved in divine ecstasy, and that the person in all acts and words is a pure channel for the divine energy. * Enlightenment is the understanding that I am everything that is. * Enlightenment is a process of peeling back the many layers of the ego to experience your true radiant infinite Self.

Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2018 ONE OF THE ECONOMIST'S BOOKS OF THE YEAR "My new favorite book of all time." --Bill Gates If you think the world is coming to an end, think again: people are living longer, healthier, freer, and happier lives, and while our problems are formidable, the solutions lie in the Enlightenment ideal of using reason and science. By the author of the new book, Rationality. Is the world really falling apart? Is the ideal of progress obsolete? In this elegant assessment of the human condition in the third millennium, cognitive scientist and public intellectual Steven Pinker urges us to step back from the gory headlines and prophecies of doom, which play to our psychological biases. Instead, follow the data: In seventy-five jaw-dropping graphs, Pinker shows that life, health, prosperity, safety, peace, knowledge, and happiness are on the rise, not just in the West, but worldwide. This progress is not the result of some cosmic force. It is a gift of the Enlightenment: the conviction that reason and science can enhance human flourishing. Far from being a naïve hope, the Enlightenment, we now know, has worked. But more than ever, it needs a vigorous defense. The Enlightenment project swims against currents of human nature--tribalism, authoritarianism, demonization, magical thinking--which demagogues are all too willing to exploit. Many commentators, committed to political, religious, or romantic ideologies, fight a rearguard action against it. The result is a corrosive fatalism and a willingness to wreck the precious institutions of liberal democracy and global cooperation. With intellectual depth and literary flair, Enlightenment Now makes the case for reason, science, and humanism: the ideals we need to confront our problems and continue our progress.
