One of the earliest commentaries on the popular and highly respected yoga scripture known as the Bhagavad Gita. Roy Eugene Davis explains the inner meaning in the light of Kriya Yoga in this new commentary on this scripture.

The Sanskrit word kriya means action. Yoga can mean to yoke or unite soul awareness with God; practice of procedures for this purpose; or samadhi, the realization of spiritual wholeness, the culmination of successful practice.

This book focuses on the interpretations of Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit that have proved influential over the past decades. Current readers of Hegel’s Phenomenology face an abundance of interpretive literature devoted to this difficult text and confront a plethora of different philosophical presuppositions, research strategies and hermeneutic efforts.To enable a better orientation within the interpretative landscape, the essays in this volume summarize, contextualize and critically comment on the issues and currents in contemporary Phenomenology scholarship. There is a common set of three questions that each of the contributions seeks to answer: (1) What kind of text is The Phenomenology of Spirit? (2) What do the different strategies of interpretation conceptually bring to the text? (3) How do different interpreters justify their verdict on whether the Phenomenology is still a viable project?

The Science of Self-Realization looks at the realities of spiritual practice in the Kriya Yoga Tradition. Yes, the ability to be still is important in this practice. However, it's not about an ego trip. The ability to brag that you meditated for three hours straight really isn't all that useful to the process. It's about getting still, finding your clarity, and being able to act based upon reason even in the midst of chaos.

A new 2024 translation of Martin Heidegger's early work "Hegel's Phenomenology" (original German "Hegels Phenomenologie"), originally published in 1923. This edition contains a new afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Heidegger's life and works, a philosophic index of core Heideggerian concepts and a guide for terminology across 19th and 20th century Existentialists. This translation is designed for readability and accessibility to Heidegger's enigmatic and dense philosophy. Complex and specific philosophic terms are translated as literally as possible and academic footnotes have been removed to ensure easy reading. The lecture "Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit" was given for two hours in the winter semester 1930/31 in Freiburg, one piece in a lifeline of engagement with Hegel's works. Heidegger analyzes the role of the Phenomenology of Spirit as the first part of Hegel's "system of science," emphasizing its foundational status in relation to the entire system. He questions the intricate relationship between the concepts of consciousness, self-consciousness, and reason, and how they interact in Hegel's dialectical process. Heidegger's discussion also touches on the nature of absolute knowledge as opposed to relative knowledge, highlighting Hegel's conception of knowledge as not merely a quantitative accumulation but a qualitative transformation. Heidegger's analysis of Hegel's work is characterized by an in-depth consideration of the terms "absolute" and "relative" as they apply to knowledge, and their implications for the idea of spirit or "mind. He traces Hegel's dialectical method, exploring how consciousness evolves through stages of experience to reach a form of self-knowledge and ultimately absolute knowledge. This development is seen as central to Hegel's philosophical enterprise, and the Phenomenology of Spirit is seen not as an isolated work but as an essential component of Hegel's overarching philosophical system. Heidegger thus positions Hegel's Phenomenology as a crucial step in the self-development of the mind, leading to the ultimate realization of absolute knowledge. This interpretation underscores Heidegger's perspective on Hegel's methodology and philosophical ambitions, particularly in relation to the concepts of experience, consciousness, and the nature of knowledge itself.
