Book excerpt: From its etymological roots, sex is related to a scission, Latin for sectus, secare, meaning "to divide or cut." Therefore, regardless of the various studies applied to defining sex as inscribed by discursive acts, i.e. merely a 'performatively enacted signification,' there is something more to sex than just a social construction or an aprioristic substance. Sex is irreducible to meaning or knowledge. This is why psychoanalysis cannot be formulated as an erotology nor a science of sex (scientia sexualis). In this matter, sex escapes the symbolic restraints of language; however, it is through its failure that it manifests itself through the symbolic, e.g. symptoms or dream life. So, what is sex? Sex and Nothing embarks upon a dialogue between colleagues and friends interested in bridging psychoanalysis and philosophy, linking sex and thought, where what emerges is a greater awareness of the irreducucibility of sex to the discourse of knowledge and meaning: in other words, sex and nothing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The responsibility for the future lies with the individual human being, to whom is given the free will to change for the good and to become noble from within. This book has the ability to guide us to a deeper understanding of the purpose of human existence, indicating to us our role in the machinery of the Universe. The book explains the seven most important Laws of Creation, which lead to the liberation of the spirit and speaks to the heart, awakening an awareness and responsibility towards the world. The Law of Attraction of Homogeneous Species, the Law of Gravity and the Law of Reciprocal Action play key roles in all areas of our lives. We always reap what we sow - and we must understand that we do not only sow with words and deeds but also with our thoughts and our intuitive perceptions. Essential steps, relevant ideas and solutions for a future worth living are shown and the foundation for a successful life based on the Spiritual Laws is explained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soul of the Samurai contains modern translations of three classic works of Zen & Bushido. In Soul of the Samurai, bestselling author and respected translator Thomas Cleary reveals the true essence of the Bushido code or Zen warrior teachings according to 17th-century Japanese samurai master Yagyu Munenori and his Zen teacher Takuan Soho. The three works of Zen & Bushido translated in Soul of the Samurai are: The Book of the Sword by Yagyu Munenori The Inscrutable Subtlety of Immovable Wisdom by Takuan Soho The Peerless Sword by Takuan Soho Yagyu was a renowned swordsman and chief of the Shogun's secret police, while Takuan was the Zen spiritual mentor to the Emperor. This samurai philosophy book contains the first English translations of their seminal writings on Bushido. Cleary not only provides clear and readable translations but comprehensive notes introducing the social, political, and organizational principles that defined samurai culture--their loyalty to family, their sense of service and duty, and their political strategies for dealing with allies and enemies. These writings introduce the reader to the authentic world of Zen culture and the secrets behind the samurai's success--being "in the moment" and freeing the mind from all distractions, allowing you to react instantaneously and instinctively without thinking. In these classic works, we learn that Zen mental control and meditational training were as important to the Samurai as swordsmanship and fighting skills.

Book excerpt: Few feelings are more debilitating than fear. It may seem that fear comes from the outside, but it is always brought under control from within. Ki-Asana Zen is a practice dedicated to the restoration of resiliency and spontaneity to the mind. The resilient mind springs back from adversity. The spontaneous mind does not harbor fear because it does not cling to thought patterns of any kind. Such a mind taps into instinctive wisdom, called prajna paramita, in Sanskrit. When we have achieved this gift, we will know what to do when faced with a problem, even one which comes swiftly. Ki-Asana Zen is a meditation technique that is balanced, relatively easy but internally sound. It bridges the gap between east and west by embracing both its sun and moon nature . . . Ki (intensification) . . . Asana (posture). The power of it is not in what you see, but in the responses generated by what you do. With Ki-Asana you don't meditate . . . IT meditates. This powerful but simple technique will teach you how to deal with any problem that comes your way.

Book excerpt: Kung Fu: The Master was originally published in the 1970s, and was praised for its meaningful prose and diverse range of topics. It has been out of print for more than thirty years, so why re-release it now? As it turns out, people are still seeking it out, with some paying as much as $200 for a copy that's still in good condition. The 2020 extended edition of Kung Fu: The Master contains all of the poetry from the original book, as well as a section of new poems by the author. Kung Fu: The Master is a book of human feeling, experience and creativity. Each poem is a work of art; a story in itself. Turner skillfully and creatively shares with us the beauty, the ugliness, the disgust and the sensuality that he has known. His writing is filled with color and rhythm, and addresses both timeless and timely topics. As Turner himself states: "I'm still the same person I was in the 1970s, I am always on a journey of growth. It's not unlike a Martial artist adding a new technique to his art. It fits into the whole. The poet adapts to the present time."
