Karma has become a household word but there are few books that can help us develop a deeper understanding of it. This book discusses the law of karma and what we need to know about it in relation to personal and family ties, as well as how attention to karmic issues can help us restore equilibrium and foster physical and psychic healing. Instruction is offered regarding how to escape from the 'wheel of life' associated with activities that create personal karma and suffering and we are introduced to a higher or deeper understanding of karma that allows us to transcend personal karmic bonds and to develop a karma of selfless service or, as the author states actions 'for the glory of God' in which we serve spiritual laws and planetary evolution as opposed to personal needs and goals. This way of understanding karma places it within the context of the spiritual evolution of humanity as a species and the evolution of planet Earth as well as of the other planets in our solar system. The author comments: "? on deeper levels we are not guided by the law of karma but by what is known as the higher law of evolution or by even higher aspects of the law of equilibrium." This book will be of great help to all those who want to dedicate their lives to a higher purpose.

Renowned meditation master Chögyam Trungpa challenges popular misconceptions of the Buddhist doctrines of karma and rebirth, in the process showing how to step beyond karma on the path to awakening. Karma has become a popular term in the West, often connected with somewhat naive or deterministic ideas of rebirth and reincarnation or equated with views of morality and guilt. Chögyam Trungpa unpacks this intriguing but misunderstood topic. He viewed an understanding of karma as good news, showing us that liberation is possible and that the future is never predetermined. His unique approach to presenting the Buddhist teachings lends itself to an insightful and profound view of karma, its cause and effects, and how to cut the root of karma itself.

“Beautifully written, expertly researched and masterfully presented, this tour of how heaven has been understood throughout history is absolutely fascinating.” —James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage A smart and thought-provoking cultural history of heaven. What do we think of when we think about heaven? What might it look like? Who or what might be there? Since humans began to huddle together for protection thousands of years ago, these questions have been part of how civilizations and cultures define heaven, the good place beyond this one. From Christianity to Islam to Hinduism and beyond, from the brush of Michelangelo to the pen of Dante, people across millennia have tried to explain and describe heaven in ways that are distinctive and analogous, unique and universal. In this engrossing cultural history of heaven, Catherine Wolff delves into how people and cultures have defined heaven over the centuries. She describes how different faiths and religions have framed it, how the sense of heaven has evolved, and how nonreligious influences have affected it, from the Enlightenment to the increasingly nonreligious views of heaven today. Wolff looks deep into the accounts of heaven to discover what’s common among them and what makes each conception distinct and memorable. The result is Beyond, an engaging, thoughtful exploration of an idea that is central to our humanity and our desire to define an existence beyond death.

What makes you happy or unhappy is not what you have, or who you are, or where, how, or with whom you are. It is simply how you think. Beyond what Matters encourages you to see from a new perspective how your personality has been shaped by unquestioned cultural customs, religious beliefs, industry interests, and living in disinformation. All this has led you to work 95 percent of your time unconsciously, and until the unconscious is not made conscious, the subconscious will continue to direct your life and you will call it fate.
