An easy Philosophical/Spiritual approach to daily life. " Life is your companion, death is your friend. When you embrace them both, there is no beginning and there is no end".-SAIMIR KERCANAJ We all are energy dressed up in matter. Since the beginning of falling from grace, we humans have always been wondering about our purpose in life. The answer has always been so simple and yet so difficult for us to innerstand. In this book you will be shown that the answer is so easy. It's within your grasp. Life is not difficult, we humans make it so. To see the Light, you must first go blind. Lose all the layers of indoctrinations that have been piling up all your life so you can actually see for the first time. That's the moment when you are truly born. You may be 25, 50 or 70, but if you haven't first fought the darkness within, then you aren't born yet. Physical and metaphysical are two sides of the same coin. You need to innerstand and practice them both to see the bigger picture. "I AM THE KEY THAT OPENS ALL DOORS" points out a creative and positive way to turn on your inner Light, so you can shine and see clear and get out of the darkness that you have been put to, from a lifetime of conditioning from outside noises that have muffled up your own inner voice. Unleash the power that resides deep within the center of the sacred place, deep within your heart. Question your existence. Question everything. The answer to a question must always lead to another question. Discover the power of being YOU. Discover your "I AM". Find out the key to happiness that exists within you. Find the KEY THAT OPENS ALL DOORS. "I AM" takes you on a journey so you can recognize both physical and metaphysical aspects of you.

Zen is famous for koans (called kong-ans in Korean, and in this book), those bizarre and seemingly unanswerable questions Zen masters pose to their students to check their realization (such as “What is the sound of one hand clapping?”). Fear of koans keeps some people from ever giving Zen practice a try. But here, through the experience of seeing a modern Zen master work with his students, you can see what koan training is really like: It’s a skillful, lively practice for attaining wisdom. This book presents the system of ten koans that Zen Master Seung Sahn came to call the “Ten Gates.” These koans represent the basic types one will encounter in any course of study. Each of the ten gates, or koans, is illuminated by actual interchanges between Zen Master Seung Sahn and his students that show what the practice is all about: it is above all a process of coming to trust one’s own wisdom, and of manifesting that wisdom in every koan-like situation life presents us with. For more information on the author, Zen Master Seung Sahn, visit his website at www.kwanumzen.com.

The Cold War officially ended in 1991 and opened a world of fresh opportunities for the Peace Corps. The fact that PCVs could move seamlessly into a constellation of states that once comprised the USSR is a testament to the flexibility and durability of the organization. All Peace Corps needs is an invitation. Volunteers are always ready to step up, learn a new language, learn some new skills, and then go to work in unfamiliar lands. Of the 40 stories in this volume, some reach back to early Peace Corps years in Iran and Turkey. Others engage with the newness of democratic freedoms, drawing back the curtain on old suspicions. Here you’ll see why walking a Thanksgiving carrot cake through a revolution is easy. But following a whole new script for free market, democratic customs? Not so much. And meanwhile, in Mongolia, you’ll learn how to celebrate the Lunar New Year with a shot of fermented horse milk, Cheers!
