Ethics and Enlightenment

Swami Bodhananda

Beschreibung

Swami Bodhananda in his book “Ethics and Enlightenment” critically examines the role of ethics and spiritual discipline for enlightenment. Religious fundamentalism and cultural arrogance that spurn reason and commonsense give added force and justification for all kinds of social and sexual perversions in the name of religious freedom and cultural uniqueness.
 
Swami Bodhananda raises questions such as:  What is the truth? Is spiritual experience merely a flowering of uninhibited libidinal energy? Are society, rules of conduct, moral behaviour, rationality, relationships and social responsibilities, unnecessary and an unacceptable imposition on the spirit? If so, are all forms of discipline and authority based on suppressed libido and sexuality? And can one by free sexual expression remove those superimpositions and live eternally in the spirit? Is self-discipline and moral discrimination actually a hindrance to spiritual flowering?
 
With a detailed set of arguments based on Vedantic scriptures he critiques the tenets of New-age-ism and emphasizes the role of moral, physical and emotional discipline central to spiritual progress. Finally in the book, Swami Bodhananda concludes that - A spiritually-awakened person lives in the infinite Spirit, mindful of an endless parade of body-mind events!

Cheaters Always Win - The Story...

Anonym

A social history of cheating and how American history -- through real estate, sports, finance, academics, and of course politics -- has had its unfair share of rigged results and widened the margins on its gray areas.Drawing from the intriguing (and sometimes unbelievable) true stories of the lives of everyday Americans, historian Julie M. Fenster traces the history of the weakening of our national ethics through the practice of cheating. From marital infidelity to financial fraud; rigged sports competitions to corruption in politics and the American education system; nuclear weaponry to beauty pageants; hospitals, TV gameshows, and charities; nothing and no one is exempt. And far from being ostracized, cheaters in every sphere continue to survive and even thrive, casting their influence over the rest of our society. And nowhere is this more obvious than in the recent tectonic shift in politics, where a revolution in our collective attitude toward fraudsters has ushered in a new kind of leadership. Part history of an all-American tradition, part dissection of an ongoing national crisis, Cheaters Always Win is irresistible reading -- a smart, sardonic, and scintillating look into the practice that made America what it is today.

The Women Behind the Few - The...

Sarah-Louise Miller

The courageous pilots of the Royal Air Force who faced the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, affectionately known as 'the Few', are rightly hailed as heroes. Recently, efforts have been made to recognise the thousands who supported RAF operations behind the scenes. And yet one group remains missing from the narrative: the Women's Auxiliary Air Force. WAAFs worked within the Dowding System, the world's most sophisticated air defence network. Throughout the Blitz, they used radar to aid Fighter and Bomber Commands in protecting Britain's civilians. WAAFs were also behind the discovery of the terrifying German V-weapons. Their work was critical ahead of the Normandy landings and they were present in their hundreds at Bletchley Park. In this thrilling book, Sarah-Louise Miller celebrates their wartime contribution to British military intelligence. Hidden behind the Few but vital to their success, WAAFs supplied the RAF with life-saving information. Here, for the first time, is their story.
