Flujo de vida

Autor: Carlos De León

Número de Páginas: 324

Exceso de estrés, adicciones, falta de sentido, depresión, son manifestaciones de sufrimiento de nuestra sociedad contemporánea. El sufrimiento nos impide ser libres y nos solidifica; no nos permite ver la realidad tal cual es y por ende nos lleva a perder nuestra capacidad de gozo. Algunos han buscado respuesta en la psicología y otros en la religión; pero como dos caminos independientes, satisfacen sólo parcialmente la búsqueda humana de realización personal. La psicología se ocupa de la salud mental, pero no resuelve nuestras necesidades espirituales. Los caminos espirituales satisfacen nuestras necesidades más trascedentes pero difícilmente nos liberan de la neurosis. Carlos de León sintetiza en una visión ambos enfoques y los aplica a través de su modelo de psicoterapia ontogónica. Ontogonía significa realización del ser. Retornar al flujo de vida es permitir que a través del proceso espontáneo de sabiduría energética la conciencia despierte y salga de la ignorancia de su verdadera naturaleza.

The Self-Aware Universe

Autor: Amit Goswami

Número de Páginas: 337

In this stimulating and timely book, Amit Goswami, PhD, shatters the widely popular belief held by Western science that matter is the primary "stuff" of creation and proposes instead that consciousness is the true foundation of all we know and perceive. His explanation of quantum physics for lay readers, called "a model of clarity" by Kirkus Reviews, sets the stage for a voyage of discovery through the common ground of science and religion, the entwined nature of mind and body, and our interconnectedness with all of creation.

Conversaciones con Pi - III

Autor: Manhiel Marthin

Número de Páginas: 197

De siempre, el hermetismo ha sostenido la existencia de leyes universales que gobiernan tanto el mundo físico como el espiritual, y afirma que la realidad es de naturaleza mental. Además, postula la existencia de una conexión intrínseca entre la materia, la mente y el espíritu que se logra en el plano físico, pues se cree que existen dimensiones sutiles a las cuales podemos acceder mediante la expansión de nuestra conciencia. El ser humano es, en esencia, un ser multidimensional con una naturaleza espiritual eterna. Poseemos la capacidad de desarrollar estados de conciencia expandidos, lo que nos permite expresar nuestro máximo potencial interno. A través de prácticas como la meditación y otras técnicas, podemos encontrar calma, conectar con niveles más profundos y trascender la identificación con el ego, guiándonos hacia estados superiores de realización espiritual. Al aplicar conscientemente los principios herméticos en áreas como la salud, las relaciones, la prosperidad y la espiritualidad, podemos vivir en mayor armonía con las leyes universales y expandir nuestra experiencia de vida. En esta parte, pretendo exponer integralmente las enseñanzas de esta...

Modern Charge-Density Analysis

Autor: Carlo Gatti , Piero Macchi

Número de Páginas: 800

Modern Charge-Density Analysis focuses on state-of-the-art methods and applications of electron-density analysis. It is a field traditionally associated with understanding chemical bonding and the electrostatic properties of matter. Recently, it has also been related to predictions of properties and responses of materials (having an organic, inorganic or hybrid nature as in modern materials and bio-science, and used for functional devices or biomaterials). Modern Charge-Density Analysis is inherently multidisciplinary and written for chemists, physicists, crystallographers, material scientists, and biochemists alike. It serves as a useful tool for scientists already working in the field by providing them with a unified view of the multifaceted charge-density world. Additionally, this volume facilitates the understanding of scientists and PhD students planning to enter the field by acquainting them with the most significant and promising developments in this arena.

ECOLOGIE, CULTURE ET UTILISATIONS DU FIGUIER DE BARBARIE

Autor: Food And Agriculture Organization Of The United Nations

Número de Páginas: 250

Les cultures de cactus bénéficient d’une attention croissante à travers le globe, en particulier le figuier de Barbarie (Opuntia ficus-indica), grâce à leurs caractéristiques uniques leurs conférant de la résilience aux conditions extrêmes mentionnées ci-dessus. Le figuier de barbarie est capable de pousser sur des terres où aucune autre culture n’est capable de croître ; il peut être utilisé pour restaurer des sols dégradés et constitue dans de nombreux pays, comme l’Ethiopie, l’unique culture sur laquelle on peut compter lorsque toutes les autres sont vouées à l’échec. Cette culture vient du Mexique - aujourd’hui encore le plus grand producteur et consommateur dans le monde - mais d’autres pays, dont le Maroc, l’Ethiopie, l’Afrique du Sud, le Kenya, l’Inde et le Pakistan, en augmentent la production et en diversifient les utilisations. La première édition de ce livre, Agroecology, cultivation and uses of cactus pear, a été publiée en 1995. Durant les 20 dernières années les connaissances sur le figuier de barbarie se sont développées et cela est reflété par cette édition 2017 largement révisée.

River of Traps

Autor: William Debuys , Alex Harris

Número de Páginas: 241

New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo mountains are a place where two cultures — Hispanic and Anglo — meet. They're also the place where three men meet: William deBuys, a young writer; Alex Harris, a young photographer; and Jacobo Romero, an old farmer. When Harris and deBuys move to New Mexico in the 1970s, Romero is the neighbor who befriends them and becomes their teacher. With the tools of simple labor — shovel and axe, irony and humor — he shows them how to survive, even flourish, in their isolated village. A remarkable look at modern life in the mountains, River of Traps also magically evokes the now-vanished world in which Romero tended flocks on frontier ranges and absorbed the values of a society untouched by cash or Anglo America. His memories and wisdom, shared without sentimentality, permeate this absorbing story of three men and the place that forever shaped their lives.

Evolving Images

Autor: Nora Glickman , Ariana Huberman

Número de Páginas: 265

Jews have always played an important role in the generation of culture in Latin America, despite their relatively small numbers in the overall population. In the early days of cinema, they served as directors, producers, screenwriters, composers, and broadcasters. As Latin American societies became more religiously open in the later twentieth century, Jewish characters and themes began appearing in Latin American films and eventually achieved full inclusion. Landmark films by Jewish directors in Argentina, Mexico, and Brazil, which are home to the largest and most influential Jewish communities in Latin America, have enjoyed critical and popular acclaim. Evolving Images is the first volume devoted to Jewish Latin American cinema, with fifteen critical essays by leading scholars from Latin America, the United States, Europe, and Israel. The contributors address transnational and transcultural issues of Jewish life in Latin America, such as assimilation, integration, identity, and other aspects of life in the Diaspora. Their discussions of films with Jewish themes and characters show the rich diversity of Jewish cultures in Latin America, as well as how Jews, both real and...
