Summary

In these talks in India , Krishnamurti begins by stating his intention to begin answering questions put forth to him by others. He points out that if an answer is to be right, the question itself must also be. "...a serious question put by a serious person, by an earnest person who is seeking out the solution of a very difficult problem, then, obviously, there will be an answer befitting that question." 
 
An extensive compendium of Krishnamurti's talks and discussions in the USA, Europe, India, New Zealand, and South Africa from 1933 to 1967—the Collected Works have been carefully authenticated against existing transcripts and tapes. Each volume includes a frontispiece photograph of Krishnamurti , with question and subject indexes at the end.
 
The content of each volume is not limited to the subject of the title, but rather offers a unique view of Krishnamurti's extraordinary teachings in selected years. The Collected Works offers the reader the opportunity to explore the early writings and dialogues in their most complete and authentic form.
Available since: 08/01/2016.

    Women are in a bind. They are told that in the name of sexual consent and feminist empowerment, they must proclaim their desires clearly and confidently. Sex researchers tell us that women don't know what they want. And men are on hand to persuade women that what they want is, in fact, exactly what men want. In this environment, how can women possibly know what they want—and how can they be expected to?In this book, Katherine Angel surveys medical and psychoanalytic understandings of female desire, from Freud to Kinsey to present-day science; MeToo-era debates over consent, assault, and feminism; and popular culture, TV, and film to challenge our assumptions about female desire. Why, she asks, do we expect desire to be easily understood? In contrast to the endless exhortation to know what we want, Angel proposes that sex can be a conversation, requiring insight, interaction, and mutual vulnerability.Angel urges that we remake our thinking about sex, pleasure, and autonomy without any illusions of perfect self-knowledge. Only then will we bring about Michel Foucault's sardonic promise, in 1976, that "tomorrow sex will be good again."Contains mature themes.

    This meditation will help to awaken, revitalise and energise your Chakras. There are seven chakras aligned with your physical body and two more that are outside your body. The eighth and ninth chakras relate to your soul and your connection to the divine. In this meditation we will work on cleansing and balancing all nine chakras. 
     
    Your chakras are swirling disks of energy that rotate clockwise three to four inches outside your body. When your chakras are clean and vibrating at their original purity, you will feel healthy, alive and radiant. As you work through each chakra you naturally become more connected to your spiritual self. 
     
    The recording also encourages you to expand your consciousness, open your heart and connect with a divine sense of bliss. At the end of the recording there is a grounding section to help you reintegrate and feel secure. 
     
    “Now become aware of the heavens and the stars above you… that hold great spiritual energy… and using your breath once again… imagine a pure white healing light… coming down from the cosmos… bring this energy down through your crown chakra… and into your body… and through each chakra… and know that this light is activating your energy body… illuminating your energy body… in a safe way… take a moment to do this now... and you may feel a sense of bliss as you do this… as you connect all chakras you create a healing energy within your body… which will continue working long after you have finished listening to this recording…” 
     
    Affirmations and subliminal suggestions relating to each chakra include: 
     
    • I am secure and grounded 
    • I have abundant creative energy 
    • I accept myself completely 
    • I give and receive love easily 
    • I freely express my thoughts and feelings 
    • I have clear vision and intuition 
    • I have an abundance of wisdom and knowledge
