  This is volume one of the six-volume Shankara Source Book, which contains writings by Shri Shankara, arranged systematically by subject.Shri Shankara was a great philosopher-sage who expressed the non-dual teachings in such a complete and satisfactory way that his formulation has been followed by authentic teachers of the non-dual tradition ever since.Most of his writings are in the form of commentaries on revealed texts such as the principle Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutras, so what he said was placed around those texts, which are far from systematic.His aim was to demonstrate that underlying the apparent contradictions and differences on the surface, all the great revealed scriptures in fact point ultimately to one Supreme Truth. He wished to do this in order to overcome the confusion that was causing hardship to the people at large, and creating difficulties for dedicated seekers. Shankara probably lived in the 8th century, and died in his early 30s.Shankara considered other views in great detail, sometimes provisionally accepting elements of their arguments, and then pointing out where those views lead to difficulties. One of the great qualities of the non-dual teachings as formulated by Shankara is that they are able to recognise and incorporate what is valid and useful in other views.All this can make it difficult to find what Shankara said on particular subjects. To meet this difficulty, in the Source Book, the writings have been freshly translated, and brought together under subject headings. These in turn have been arranged in six volumes each covering one broad topic. These are: Volume 1 Shankara on the AbsoluteVolume 2 Shankara on the CreationVolume 3 Shankara on the SoulVolume 4 Shankara on Rival ViewsVolume 5 Shankara on DiscipleshipVolume 6 Shankara on Enlightenment

  How to Be a Patriotic Christian...

  What does it mean to love our country? 
   
   
   
  Some Christians see loyalty to America as central to our faith and identity. Other Christians are skeptical that our nation warrants such devotion or attachment. But Richard Mouw encourages Christians to have a healthy sense of national peoplehood that promotes civic kinship and responsible citizenship. He navigates between Christian nationalism on one hand and cynicism about country on the other to avoid the perils of both idolatry and disengagement. 
   
   
   
  Mouw grapples with sticky questions such as how to honor national holidays in church and the place of protests in forging a more perfect union. Placing love of country in the context of Christian love of neighbor, he sees patriotism as an expression of our heavenly citizenship and a call to help our country be a place where all people can thrive in peace. 
   
   
   
  Mouw's winsome and wise reflections direct our patriotic affections toward the civic good of others within our churches and in our communities. This guide helps us travel together on a shared national journey toward liberty and justice for all.

  CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the CEO. 
  As the CEO of a sales organisation, how many times have you said to yourself: 
  "thank god our customers are buying because we're not selling" 
  "we had ten-times pipeline coverage, but we still missed our number?" 
  Or ... heard from your sales leads the following: 
  "the person who was going to sign off on our deal has gone on leave" 
  "this is a strategic deal - we must discount to win" 
  "they decided to do nothing?" 
  If these lines sound familiar, then your sales team is stuck in the past. They are struggling to keep pace 
  with the market and will continue to stumble into the future. That's not to say you won't make your 
  numbers on occasion, but you can be guaranteed your company won't be the clear leader in its market. 
  This creates distrust with your sales team and that uneasy feeling of not being sure you will meet your 
  targets. 
  Is there a better way? 
  After twenty years as a senior IT sales leader addressing this problem and demonstrating measurable 
  success across multiple organisations, Andrew Phillips knows there is. 
  CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve 
  your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the 
  CEO. 
  The process is a multi-year investment to transform your sales organisation. It's challenging, but the 
  results are consistent and the revenue reliable. Andrew Phillips invites you to take the next step and 
  discover the benefits of CEO-Led Sales.

  "He who controls the spice controls the universe." Frank Herbert's Dune saga is the epic story of Paul, son of Duke Leto Atreides, and heir to the massive fortune promised by the desert planet Arrakis and its vast reservoirs of a drug called "spice." To control the spice, Paul and his mother Jessica, a devotee of the pseudo-religious Bene Gesserit order, must find their place in the culture of the desert-dwelling Fremen of Arrakis. Paul must contend with both the devious rival House Harkonnen and the gargantuan desert sandworms—the source of the spice. The future of the Imperium depends upon one young man who will need to lead a new jihad to control the universe. 
   
   
   
  Dune and Philosophy recruits twenty-three philosophers to sift wisdom from Frank Herbert's Duniverse, including the first of an expected series of films following Paul "Muad'Dib" Atreides and his descendants, captivatingly brought to the big screen in 2021. Substantial yet accessible chapters address philosophical questions including: 
   
   
   
  ● Is it morally right to create a savior? 
   
   
   
  ● Would interplanetary travel change human nature? 
   
   
   
  ● In conflict, how can you stay light years ahead of your opponents? 
   
   
   
  ● Does history repeat itself?
