  Practice the Pause - Jesus'...

  These days, many of us live in a state of overreactive fight-or-flight response and chronic stress. The demands of modern life pull us in all directions and can often put the meaningful connections in our lives at risk—connections to our deepest selves, to others, and even to God. 
   
   
   
  But there is good news. New developments in brain science have recently proven that an intentional practice of pausing for a few minutes of meditation, prayer, or other contemplative practice actually rewires our brain in ways that make us calmer, less reactive, and better able to see the bigger picture. 
   
   
   
  In Practice the Pause, spiritual director and writer Caroline Oakes offers easy-to-understand explanations of how this new brain science is confirming what every spiritual tradition has been telling us for millennia: by practicing the pause, we become more self-aware and better able to understand others. We become more "God aware." With a refreshing focus on the Eastern Christian understanding of Jesus as a master of wisdom, Oakes shines a spotlight on Jesus's own centering pause practice as a transformative path for personal and social change. We learn that even a seven-second pause practice can move us beyond the fight-or-flight responses of our ego in our daily lives and actually equip us to cultivate the common good in the world.

  Learn how to think like a physicist from a Nobel laureate and "one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century" (New York Review of Books) with these six classic and beloved lessons    It was Richard Feynman's outrageous and scintillating method of teaching that earned him legendary status among students and professors of physics. From 1961 to 1963, Feynman delivered a series of lectures at the California Institute of Technology that revolutionized the teaching of physics around the world. Six Easy Pieces, taken from these famous Lectures on Physics, represent the most accessible material from the series.     In these classic lessons, Feynman introduces the general reader to the following topics: atoms, basic physics, energy, gravitation, quantum mechanics, and the relationship of physics to other topics. With his dazzling and inimitable wit, Feynman presents each discussion with a minimum of jargon. Filled with wonderful examples, Six Easy Pieces is the ideal introduction to the fundamentals of physics by one of the most admired and accessible physicists of modern times.    "If one book was all that could be passed on to the next generation of scientists it would undoubtedly have to be Six Easy Pieces."- John Gribbin, New Scientist

  The Physics of Consciousness -...

  What if consciousness came first?  
  Not as an idea inside the brain. Not as a side effect of matter. But as the field in which matter, life, identity, and the soul appear.  
  The Physics of Consciousness explores one of the deep questions a human being can ask:  
  Who am I, really?  
  Are you only a body moving through time—or the awareness in which body, thought, memory, and the world itself are known?  
  Ivan Antic presents a vision in which consciousness is not the final product of evolution, but the foundation of existence.  
  From the quantum field to minerals, plants, animals, and human souls, this audiobook follows one insight: consciousness and existence are not separate. They are one reality seen from two sides.  
  Modern physics has challenged the image of matter as solid and separate. Ancient wisdom traditions have pointed toward a deeper unity behind the visible world.  
  What if these two paths are not opposed? What if matter does not produce consciousness—but appears within it?  
  Drawing on quantum physics, metaphysical insight, and decades of Buddhist and Zen practice, Ivan Antic offers an inquiry into consciousness, existence, and the soul—from the physical world to self-awareness and the meaning of life.  
  This is not a conventional audiobook about the brain.  
  It is for seekers, thinkers, spiritual listeners, and anyone who feels that life cannot be explained by matter and chance alone.  
  The Physics of Consciousness invites listeners to reconsider matter and mind, body and soul, science and spirituality.  
  Listen to The Physics of Consciousness and enter a deeper exploration of reality, nature, and the Self.

  The Paradox of a Smart Atomic...

  The risk of nuclear conflict today is at its highest point in decades. Geopolitical tensions are on the rise, and we are witnessing an unsettling increase in reckless nuclear threats and the use of nuclear blackmail. This has made the long-standing taboo against the use of nuclear weapons appear more fragile than ever before. In 2022, the famous Doomsday Clock was set to a chilling 90 seconds to midnight, marking the closest it has ever been since its inception in 1947. This unsettling moment in history underscores just how vulnerable the world has become to the catastrophic consequences of nuclear war. 
  In this fragile and precarious situation, it becomes even more crucial for the global community to fully grasp the profound humanitarian impact that any use of nuclear weapons would have. Whether in the case of a limited strike or a full-scale nuclear conflict, the consequences would be devastating not just for the immediate areas affected but for all of humanity and the environment. The environmental destruction, the loss of life, and the lasting psychological and societal trauma would ripple across borders, affecting every nation. 
  Greater awareness and a deeper understanding of these consequences are vital for mobilizing the global community to take decisive, collective action. Only through a heightened sense of urgency and responsibility can we work together to prevent the use of nuclear weapons. This awareness is also the key to advancing the cause of nuclear disarmament. Moving away from a security model based on the dangerous idea of mutually assured destruction and toward one focused on cooperation, diplomacy, and peace is not just desirable—it’s essential for ensuring the survival of humanity and the planet for future generations.
