About this listen
Enlightenment is a concept that has fascinated philosophers, mystics, and scientists for centuries. But what exactly is enlightenment, and how can we cultivate this state of being in our own lives? In this comprehensive book, we explore the nature of enlightenment from a variety of perspectives, including neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and spirituality. Drawing on insights from a range of cultural and religious traditions, as well as the latest scientific research, we provide a comprehensive overview of this elusive but transformative human experience.
In the first section of the book, we define and explore the historical and cultural context of enlightenment, and outline the goals of the book. We then delve into the neuroscience of enlightenment, exploring the brain functions and processes that underlie this state of being, as well as the impact of practices such as meditation and mindfulness. From there, we move on to the psychology of enlightenment, discussing the importance of self-actualization, purpose, and meaning in cultivating this state of being.
In the fourth section of the book, we delve into the philosophy of enlightenment, exploring the roots of this concept in ancient philosophical traditions, as well as the differences between Eastern and Western perspectives. We also explore the nature of reality and how it relates to the experience of enlightenment.
In the fifth section of the book, we explore the biology of enlightenment, discussing the relationship between the body and mind, as well as the impact of nutrition and exercise on consciousness. From there, we move on to the mystical experience, discussing the role of psychedelics and exploring the relationship between enlightenment and religion.
In the remaining sections of the book, we explore specific traditions and practices associated with enlightenment, including the enlightenment of the Buddha, Zen, yoga, Taoism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and New Age spirituality. We discuss the teachings, practices, and beliefs associated with each of these traditions, as well as their contributions to our understanding of the nature of enlightenment.
Finally, we conclude the book with a discussion of the universality of enlightenment and practical steps that individuals can take to cultivate this state of being in their own lives. We also explore potential avenues for future research on enlightenment, including the neuroscience of enlightenment, cross-cultural studies, long-term effects, intersection with social and political issues, and integration of scientific and spiritual approaches.
Overall, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible exploration of the nature of enlightenment, drawing on insights from a wide range of perspectives and traditions. Whether you are a philosopher, scientist, spiritual seeker, or simply curious about the nature of consciousness, this book is an essential listen for anyone interested in exploring the transformative potential of the human experience.

This lucid overview of the Buddhist path takes the perspective of the three "vehicles" of Tibetan Buddhism: the Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. While these vehicles are usually presented as a historical development, they are here equated with the attitudes that individuals bring to their Buddhist practice. Basic to them all, however, is the need to understand our own immediate condition. The primary tool for achieving this is meditation, and The Essence of Buddhism serves as a handbook for the various meditative approaches of Buddhist practice.

Story
In this original and groundbreaking book, Andrew Newberg, M.D., and Mark Robert Waldman turn their attention to the pinnacle of the human experience: enlightenment. Through his brain-scan studies on Brazilian psychic mediums, Sufi mystics, Buddhist meditators, Franciscan nuns, Pentecostals, and participants in secular spirituality rituals, Newberg has discovered the specific neurological mechanisms associated with the enlightenment experience - and how we might activate those circuits in our own brains.

Although millions of westerners practice yoga simply for its health benefits, this multifaceted discipline has far more to offer. In The Jewel of Abundance, author Ellen Grace O’Brian reveals an overlooked aspect of yoga: its powerful techniques for attaining prosperity. Drawing upon the ancient Vedic tradition of Kriya Yoga (the yoga of practice), she shows us how spirituality and earthly success can complement each other, leading to realization of the higher self.

The modern lifestyle with its excesses and worldly desires, the constant need to be connected, and the rapid development in technology, has made stress and lifestyle-related diseases the norm. The need for meditation, thus, is more acute. Meditation calms the mind, brings focus and enhances the senses, resulting in a better quality of life and work. And with the right Mantras, meditation becomes a highly effective tool in unleashing the immense potential within oneself.

Centering prayer is the path to a wonderful and radical new way of seeing the world.

In frightening times, we wish the world could be otherwise. With a touch of imagination, it can be. Imagination helps us see what’s hidden, and it shape-shifts reality’s roiling twisting waves. In this inspiring reframe of a classic Buddhist teaching, Zen teacher Norman Fischer writes that the paramitas, or “six perfections” - generosity, ethical conduct, patience, joyful effort, meditation, and understanding - can help us reconfigure the world we live in.

The now widely known map of calibrated levels of consciousness was presented in Power vs. Force in 1995 and has been translated into all the world's major languages. This was followed by The Eye of the I (2001), I: Reality and Subjectivity (2003), and Truth vs. Falsehood (2005), which explored the levels of truth reflected throughout society. Transcending the Levels of Consciousness returns to the exploration of the ego's expressions and inherent limitations and gives detailed explanations and instructions on how to transcend them.
