  There is a reason your pulse quickens when you turn to that one particular scene in a book – the one where tension spills over, where restraint shatters, and where characters surrender to something primal, something undeniable. That moment, the one so many readers secretly crave, is smut.Once whispered about behind closed doors, hidden beneath the guise of "guilty pleasures," smut has clawed its way into mainstream literature, proving that what was once considered taboo is now a genre in its own right. From centuries-old erotic manuscripts to today's bestselling scorchers, smut has evolved, adapted, and seduced millions along the way.But why do we read it? Why do we write it? And why does society continue to both embrace and condemn it in equal measure?

  The play of sunlight through leaves … the songs of the wind … the arc of a brush stroke on paper. To be awake, reflects Jack Kornfield, is to discover the beauty hidden in all things—and to express that beauty ourselves.With Turn Toward the Beautiful, this lyrical writer and teacher inspires us to reclaim our childlike wonder, attuning ourselves to the beauty that often passes us by unnoticed. Then, through insightful verses and stories from many traditions, he invites each of us to nourish the artistic impulse in ourselves—to choose to create as an essential expression of the spiritual life. In two compelling sessions, you will explore:  •  Why beauty and awareness are inseparable, and how they enrich each other  •  Rediscovering the world through our "child's eyes"  •  Presence—an essential component for awakening the artist's gifts of receptivity and wonder  •  How to use writing, drawing, music, dance, and more to bring insight to others  •  Practices to spark our own creative expressionWhat if the light that reveals the truth of our lives were waiting right here before us? For seasoned artists or novices of all spiritual traditions, Turn Toward the Beautiful points to that illumination—the beauty of the world that beckons to be received and shared.Session I: Turn Toward the Beautiful  •  Track 1: Introduction  •  Track 2: The retrieval of beauty  •  Track 3: A life of wakefulness  •  Track 4: The Lion's Roar  •  Track 5: Becoming a child of spiritSession II: Creativity as a Path of Liberation  •  Track 1: Introduction  •  Track 2: Poetry and Buddhism  •  Track 3: Poems as expressions of liberation  •  Track 4: Making the sacred visible  •  Track 5: Practice: Two Questions  •  Track 6: Creativity as an expression of dharmaCourse objectives:  •  Express story and poetry as offerings of art and beauty—awakening our hearts to move from a small sense of self to receive the world with compassion, understanding and presence.  •  Utilize creativity as an expression of liberation—making the sacred visible.  •  Recognize how creativity may become shut down, and how to open the gateway of creativity to become more free, present and alive.  •  Practice and express your deep understanding of the Dharma through a myriad of creative possibilities.

  HO'OPONOPONO - A Christian...

  Christians are called on to examine everything. Ho’oponopono may be integrated into spiritual life by Christians for soul-cleansing and self-healing purposes. There is no need to believe in reincarnation or to worship other Gods. Love, forgiveness, reconciliation, and gratefulness can only lead to a positive state of mind, which may benefit many aspects, from health to success in relationships and business. 
  Christianity and Ho’oponopono recognize that it is God who can cleanse the soul. Our job is to petition the cleaning, for which Ho’oponopono provides an effective method, which may be added to Christian soul-cleaning practices such as prayer, reading the Holy Scriptures, and listening to sermons inspired by biblical teachings. 
  In both traditions, soul-cleansing is a lifelong process. One must make this a way of life. Love, forgiveness, and gratitude bring about joy. We can choose to be free of the painful memories that burden our souls by making this mantra or prayer a habit. 
  This book goes deeply into both traditions to find similarities and insights.

  Volume One of the New and Complete Newgate Calendar, covering the years 1700 through 1723, relates stories of British trials, the persons accused and the crimes committed. It is primarily based upon contemporary newspaper and pamphlet accounts of these trials. Where the criminal is particularly well known, such as the highwayman, burglar and escape artist Jack Sheppard, other sources were used as well. The readings used here are selected to illustrate different aspects of the eighteenth century criminal world and the British legal system.(Summary by Roy Shreiber)
