EMPTY THOUGHTS FROM AN EMPTY HEAD (Sin clasificar)

This book and the preceding one (written at the same time) arose out, out of the urge in Tony Sandy to, try to understand why his language teaching series was not taking off. It also came about as he tried to make sense of the world he found himself in, as well as basic questions about reality (covered mostly in the first book). This particular volume has got lost in meditations on various subjects and the complexities that come about from interlinking related ideas. This occurs because experience, through the medium of time, discloses awareness of their connection: The novice mind floats all over the place,like a butterfly - The experienced mind cuts through everything, like a hot knife through butter or a diamond drill through glass (We take things apart to understand them and put them back together, to make them work). It is hoped that this book will stimulate thought at least in those that it doesn't provide answers for and that those it does help, will in turn pass those ideas onto others for the same reason.

BECOMING WHEALTHY (Sin clasificar)

Is there anyone who would not choose to be healthier and wealthier? Many people think they have to choose between one or the other - to focus on one means to ignore or even deplete the other. Too many people spend their health gaining wealth, and then have to spend their wealth to regain their health. This pattern is insane. The worst scenario is when someone exchanges health for wealth or vice versa. A slightly better scenario is when a choice is made to improve one's health or wealth, but the unchosen one languishes. The best scenario, which almost no one does because they've never been taught, enables efforts to pay benefits in the both areas. The few books that attempt to integrate health and wealth have been written by health "gurus" who focus on health. Their mantra is typically that the best wealth is health. They are saying, in effect, that if you are healthy, money is superfluous. The reality is that a high credit score is just as important as a low cholesterol score in getting through life, and no one should have to choose one or the other. The premise of BECOMING WHEALTHY is that there are methods for improving our health (physical, mental, and spiritual) and wealth simultaneously. The book looks at areas that may lead to improved health and wealth, but may also improve your overall quality of life.

TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION (Sin clasificar)

Dr. Robert Keith Wallace is internationally recognized as a pioneer researcher in the study of consciousness and the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique. He worked closely for over 40 years with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the Transcendental Meditation program, who offered this remarkable technology as a new approach to solving the age-old problems of the individual and society. In this book, Dr. Wallace provides an easy to understand and comprehensive survey of research on the Transcendental Meditation technique in terms of his personal experience as a scientist and teacher. “ ‘His Excellency will see you now.’ The voice startled me, so intent was I on trying to hear any sound from the outside world. Even artillery fire would be muffled where we were, I decided. This was my first visit to a dictator’s bunker. Looking around when we first arrived, I was surprised to find it decorated with comfortable overstuffed chairs and plush carpeting. One hardly noticed that the curtains had no windows behind them, not even slits. ‘If you’ll step this way,’ the guard murmured. I trailed behind the small group that rose to follow him. We were a delegation of three American scientists visiting Central America on a peace mission. We had come to Nicaragua in response to a plea that had appeared in the press from the citizens of a town devastated by the violence of a brutal civil war. The people were calling for any national or international agency to bring relief: ‘Anyone who can help, please help.’…”
