"Ordinarily, events that change our path are impersonal affairs, and yet extremely personal. My teacher, don Juan Matus, said this is guiding me as his apprentice to collect what I considered to be the memorable events of my life…. Don Juan described the total goal of the shamanistic knowledge that he handled as the preparation for facing the definitive journey: the journey that every human being has to take at the end of his life. He said that what modern man referred to vaguely as life after death was, for those shamans, a concrete region filled to capacity with practical affairs of a different order than the practical affairs of daily life, yet bearing a similar functional practicality. Don Juan considered that to collect the memorable in their lives was, for shamans, the preparation for their entrance into that concrete region, which they called the active side of infinity."

In this book written immediately before his death, anthropologist and shaman Carlos Castaneda gives us his most autobiographical and intimately revealing work ever, the fruit of a lifetime of experience and perhaps the most moving volume in his oeuvre.

Maitreya’s Distinction between Phenomena and the Nature of Phenomena distinguishes the illusory phenomenal world of saṃsāra produced by the confused dualistic mind from the ultimate reality that is mind’s true nature. The transition from the one to the other is the process of “mining for wisdom within delusion.” Maitreya’s text calls this “the fundamental change,” which refers to the vanishing of delusive appearances through practicing the path, thus revealing the underlying changeless nature of these appearances. In this context, the main part of the text consists of the most detailed explanation of nonconceptual wisdom—the primary driving force of the path as well as its ultimate result—in Buddhist literature. 

The introduction of the book discusses these two topics (fundamental change and nonconceptual wisdom) at length and shows how they are treated in a number of other Buddhist scriptures. The three translated commentaries, by Vasubandhu, the Third Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje, and Gö Lotsāwa, as well as excerpts from all other available commentaries on Maitreya’s text, put it in the larger context of the Indian Yogācāra School and further clarify its main themes. They also show how this text is not a mere scholarly document, but an essential foundation for practicing both the sūtrayāna and the vajrayāna and thus making what it describes a living experience. The book also discusses the remaining four of the five works of Maitreya, their transmission from India to Tibet, and various views about them in the Tibetan tradition.

Review

“Mining for Wisdom within Delusion provides us with a much-needed comprehensive treatment of Maitreya’s text, something that both scholars and meditators will find illuminating. Karl Brunnhölzl’s adept translation, annotations, and introduction add layers of richness that always bring us back to the basic point: wisdom is discovered within delusion.”—Elizabeth Callahan, translator of The Treasury of Knowledge, Book Six, Part Three: Frameworks of Buddhist Philosophy 

“Once again Tsadra and Karl Brunnhölzl have given us access to a classic of Buddhist Mahayana, so important in recognizing the true nature of reality. This classic will guide the scholar and the practitioner alike in discovering the nonconceptual wisdom within delusion. This is a monumental work.”—Judith Simmer-Brown, Ph.D., Professor of Religious Studies, Naropa University

“While scholars will delight in this rich banquet of information, all practitioners who wonder how it works that their meditation bears fruit as the dawning of ‘nonconceptual wisdom,’ what it actually is that undergoes the ‘fundamental change,’ and how that process unfolds will definitely find overwhelming insight in this book.”—Susanne Schefczyk, translator and editor of Everyday Consciousness and Primordial Awareness 

“There is no doubt that everything a scholar or a practitioner needs to know on this subject is here, and that Karl Brunnhölzl is the reigning expert and right person to have written it. If anything at all was left out, we don’t need to know it.”—Sarah Harding, translator of Machik’s Complete Explanation

He received his systematic training in Tibetan language and Buddhist philosophy and practice at the Marpa Institute for Translators, founded by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche.

Bob's Red Mill Old Country Style Muesli is a favorite everywhere!

Wouldn't it be fantastic if you could talk to your mom honestly and frankly about topics like first French kisses, or what boys look like naked? Well, high school teen Laura Potash Fruitman can, and she has decided to share these conversations with girls everywhere in this self-help manual for female teens, Am I Weird or Is This Normal? Laura's mom is Manhattan psychotherapist Marlin S. Potash, and using tag-team techniques, she and Laura give a crash course in Teen Trauma 101, covering every topic from puberty and sex to making friends and choosing colleges. Both Potashes emphasize the positive message that being weird is normal, because "everyone feels that they are different," but the book is at its best when the two disagree, resulting in humorous interchanges that often lighten their serious subject matter. What mother-daughter team Lynda and Area Madaras did for puberty (the revolutionary What's Happening to My Body? books) Marlin and Laura Potash have done for 21st century grrrlhood. But grrrls, keep in mind that this no-embarrassing-stone-unturned treatment of teen issues and sexuality is probably best kept among best girlfriends--parents may blush over the detailed section on oral sex. While the exuberant authors needed a little more help with chapter placement (the sections on sex, STDs, and rape precede the chapter that should probably come first--puberty, periods, and nutrition) there's no doubt that they sincerely care about their female adolescent audience, and that Am I Weird is an excellent girl guide for the thoroughly modern miss. (Ages 14 to 18) --Jennifer Hubert

From Publishers Weekly

In Am I Weird or Is This Normal?: Advice and Info to Get Teens in the Know, Marlin Potash and his 16-year-old daughter, Laura Potash Fruitman, with Lisa Sussman, touch on, among other things, dating, drugs, money, college admissions, eating disorders, friendship and sex. Pressing questions are followed by honest answers from the psychologist and the teenager, each experts in their own way. Sidebars provide helpful tips, checklists and straightforward discussions.

This book offers a self-contained and up-to-date account of the representation theory of finite groups and associative rings and algebras. It pays particular attention to the theory of induced characters and induced representations, quasi-Frobenius rings and Frobenius algebras, integral representations, and the theory of modular representations. While emphasizing general methods and building the theory on the study of modules over rings with minimal condition, the book features enough examples and problems to help the researcher who needs to compute explicit representations for particular groups. In addition, the text includes some applications of group representations to the structure theory of finite groups, and a survey of current literature dealing with these applications. Neither encyclopedic nor historical in nature, this work concentrates instead on the most important and fruitful results, yet includes as much preliminary material as necessary for their proofs.

Theirs will be the only house on Hemlock Street without a rooftop Frosty, they won’t be hosting their annual Christmas Eve bash, they aren’t even going to have a tree. They won’t need one, because come December 25 they’re setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But as this weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences—and isn’t half as easy as they’d imagined.

In the same way the subject evolved historically, Ronald Solomon lets the abstract concepts emerge gradually from less abstract problems about geometry, polynomials, numbers, and more. Solomon also strongly emphasizes the connections between algebra and other areas of mathematics -- analysis (the infinitesimal calculus) and geometry. Readers will see that the various areas of mathematics are not hermetically sealed off from each other and that most of the truly important achievements in mathematics have been the product of a fruitful interaction of different areas. Using this book, readers will gain a true understanding of the subject while being creative mathematically as opposed to simply imitating template problems.

Offering practical instruction on how to perform the Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation, which will take only minutes a day, many practitioners have experienced benefits, including increased energy, weight loss, better memory, new hair growth, pain relief, better digestion, and feeling overall more youthful.

Legend has it that hidden in the remote reaches of the Himalayan mountains lies a secret that would have saved Ponce de Leon from years of fruitless searching for the Fountain of Youth. There, generations of Tibetan monks have passed down a series of exercises with mystical, age-reversing properties. Known as the Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation or the Five Rites, these once-secret exercises are now available to Westerners in Ancient Secret of the Fountain Of Youth. Peter Kelder's book begins with an account of his own introduction to the rites by way of Colonel Bradford, a mysterious retired British army officer who learned of the rites while journeying high up in the Himalayas. Fountain of Youth then offers practical instructions for each of the five rites, which resemble yoga postures. Taking just minutes a day to perform, the benefits for practitioners have included increased energy, weight loss, better memory, new hair growth, pain relief, better digestion, and feeling overall more youthful.

“Prisoners with Midnight in Their Hearts” by Harold Littledale; New York Evening Post, Jan. 12, 1917

Littledale uses repetition in the body of this article to express several issues with prison facilities at the time of the article’s publication. By saying “It is a fact,” over and over again, he builds an authority and outlines the need for reform. After listing a plethora of facts, he offered solutions to the problem. He suggested ending the vicious system of contract labor, permitting fruit for inmates and bringing out the good in those incarcerated.

This article goes beyond a restatement of facts. It offers ideas for improving a broken system while refraining from becoming an opinion piece.

The key to an optimally functioning vascular and circulatory system is a healthy level of blood flow, and Nitric Oxide (NO) is key to that process. NO sends a big “yes” to the
blood vessels, encouraging them to widen and increase the ease of blood flow.

Health Made Simpler
Improve blood flow and you can address many health concerns, including lowering blood pressure, increasing stamina, and enhancing workout performance. Combat
cardiovascular disease with Pine Bark, Garlic Bulb and other extracts.

Can Improve Varicose Veins’ Appearance
Varicose veins are often one of the side effects of inflammation and blood flow problems often caused at least in part by lack of nitric oxide, so this natural booster can promote
vein strength, improve vascular functions, and reduce related swelling. Free of preservatives and synthetic fillers, all supplements are proudly produced in the USA.

Story of Blueberry

Wild blueberries grow across Southern Canada and along the East Coast of the United States in low-spreading bushes, known as lowbush blueberries. This vibrant fruit may be tiny, but each serving packs a serious punch when it comes to nutrition. Blueberries are a nutrient-dense food, meaning that there aren’t a lot of calories in blueberries, but they pack in a good amount of vitamins and minerals. The blueberries nutrition profile is especially high in fiber, vitamin K, manganese and vitamin C.
