Sinopsis

In "A Manual of Moral Philosophy," Andrew P. Peabody engages readers with a comprehensive exploration of ethical principles and moral reasoning. The book is crafted in a didactic style, aiming both to enlighten and to provoke critical thought about moral issues. Peabody structures his work methodically, integrating discussions of deontological and consequentialist theories that reflect the philosophical debates of his time. Contextually, the work emerges from the 19th-century backdrop of American transcendentalism and utilitarianism, as it wrestles with the complexities of morality in a rapidly changing social landscape. Andrew P. Peabody, an esteemed theologian and educator, drew from his extensive background in theology and philosophy to articulate a vision of moral philosophy that balances individual conscience with collective responsibility. His academic journey and personal convictions likely influenced his approach, positioning moral philosophy as a crucial guide for navigating ethical dilemmas in both personal and societal contexts. Peabody's unique perspective as a Unitarian minister lends a spiritual dimension, enriching his exploration of ethics. This indispensable work is highly recommended for philosophers, theologians, and anyone interested in the evolution of moral thought. Peabody's lucid prose and structured arguments foster a deeper understanding of ethical principles, making it a valuable resource for both students and scholars alike.

    Probably you have read of the great successes of certain men who have made such wonderful and astounding names in the history of the world. Such men, whether they consciously or unconsciously knew the secret of their powers and successes, made themselves famous by unfolding their super-conscious minds. 
    Now the super-conscious mind contains all the secrets of occult and magnetic power. Napoleon, who was a master of the super-conscious state, used to obtain practically eight hours rest in fifteen minutes by looking intently at a dark spot on the walls of his room. 
    Now this super-conscious state is called by the Hindus "samadhi" or super-consciousness. I will give you the principal secrets of this state and how to enter into it so that you may develop psychic power. There are many methods to do this with, but they are not practical and most of them are so mystical that the majority of sensible people would be foolish to think even of doing them for they are dangerous. I think that the so-called trance states should be left alone, especially with the beginner. 
    Every night for at least a week, just before you retire, or better just before you fall asleep, give to yourself this suggestion: "I will unfold super-consciously." Now, in a few days you will find that you are actually thinking and acting super-consciously; this is the secret of Napoleon's power. 
    This exercise that I am going to give you will enable you to go into the super-conscious state, but you will have to practice and practice to do it. For if you do not you will merely hypnotize yourself. 
    There are what might be termed three bodies in man: First, the conscious, then the thinking body, and then the causal body. If you succeed--and you should do so--in entering into this causal body, you may levitate your body, accomplish materialization, and also astral body travelling and projection.

    This is an audiobook of the classic title Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner, narrated by Jonathan Nelson.
     
    --------------------------------
     
    "I set out to study and practice Vipassana meditation in India fifty years ago. Then, as now, I characterized myself as both a spiritual seeker and a writer. During the six months that I sojourned in meditation centers and monasteries, observing the strict rules of retreat, I nevertheless spent several hours a day feverishly filling notebooks by lamplight with tightly packed script legible only to me, recording my internal experiences.
     
    I wanted to tell a story, because I am by nature a story teller, but on my return to America I was a bit disconcerted to find that my detailed accounts read like data recorded by a naturalist hidden in the bush observing the behavior of a strange creature in the wild, information that would have little interest to anyone except an extreme specialist in the field.
     
    Up until then my unpublished works were lightly fictionalized autobiographical accounts of my young life, but fiction wouldn’t be accurate enough to tell this tale. Instead, I created a protagonist, a bit of a hero, who was both me and not me, Eric Lerner. I re-created the external world of people and teachers and places he’d encountered, as well as ideas and beliefs adopted and discarded. In other words, a setting and a plot. All of it was real, or real enough, the product of memory and interpretation, a new veracity. A memoir."
