    The Balance of Mind and Heart
    Suffering
    How Can We Help
  
   
  Ram Dass explains that we must first acknowledge our humanity, if we hope to be an instrument of presence and peace. When we embrace our humanness, we create the space necessary for compassion to arise. We learn to balance the suffering we encounter with the innate empathy of the human heart. We awaken through our life experiences, which become the curriculum for our incarnation. Our humanity itself is the vehicle through which our spirit can manifest. The help we offer is who we are, our very being.
   
  Ram Dass asks us to consider the ways in which our culture’s pervading myth of unbridled individualism has generated the destabilizing forces confronting us. "Injustice is rooted in a frightened heart."To remain open to the tremendous suffering we encounter requires an exquisite balance of the rational mind and intuitive heart. Ram Dass' exploration of practical methods for expanding our awareness without closing our hearts offers a blueprint for how we might navigate an ever-changing universe and return home to that quality of being where there is only one of us.

  Memory is one of the most powerful cognitive abilities we possess. It shapes our experiences, informs our decision-making, and defines much of who we are. From recalling important facts and names to navigating the intricacies of our personal relationships, memory plays a central role in virtually every aspect of life. However, in a world filled with distractions, the ability to retain and recall information can sometimes feel like a lost art. Many of us struggle with forgetfulness, whether it's forgetting where we left our keys, what we were supposed to do today, or even details of a conversation we had just hours ago. 
    
  The good news is that memory is not a static trait. It is a skill that can be developed, honed, and improved with the right techniques. In fact, memory improvement is within everyone’s reach, regardless of age or background. By understanding the mechanisms of memory and applying proven strategies, we can enhance our ability to retain and recall information with greater ease and efficiency.

  • The desire to change in a particular direction gives an energy that is divisive. 
  • Will you free the mind taking time, through analysis, or can you look totally and 
  therefore be totally free? 
  • Does choiceless rejection of the false give a different kind of energy? 
  • Does a foundation give me direction or does it bring confusion?

  The inside story of the CIA’s secret mind control project, MKULTRA, using never-before-seen testimony from the perpetrators themselves.Sidney Gottlieb was the CIA’s most cunning chemist. As head of the infamous MKULTRA project, he oversaw an assortment of dangerous—even deadly—experiments. Among them: dosing unwitting strangers with mind-bending drugs, torturing mental patients through sensory deprivation, and steering the movements of animals via electrodes implanted into their brains. His goal was to develop methods of mind control that could turn someone into a real-life “Manchurian candidate.” In conjunction with MKULTRA, Gottlieb also plotted the assassination of foreign leaders and created spy gear for undercover agents. The details of his career, however, have long been shrouded in mystery. Upon retiring from the CIA in 1973, he tossed his files into an incinerator. As a result, much of what happened under MKULTRA was thought to be lost—until now.Historian John Lisle has uncovered dozens of depositions containing new information about MKULTRA, straight from the mouths of its perpetrators. For the first time, Gottlieb and his underlings divulge what they did, why they did it, how they got away with it, and much more. Additionally, Lisle highlights the dramatic story of MKULTRA’s victims, from their terrible treatment to their dogged pursuit of justice.The consequences of MKULTRA still reverberate throughout American society. Project Mind Control is the definitive account of this most disturbing of chapters in CIA history."Listeners will be transfixed" —AudioFile on The Dirty Tricks DepartmentA Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
