Mind is a Myth - Enriched edition

U. G. Krishnamurti

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "Mind is a Myth," U. G. Krishnamurti offers a radical examination of human consciousness, dismantling prevailing notions of the mind and selfhood. With a style that is both poetic and incisive, Krishnamurti challenges the reader to confront the conditioning that underpins thought itself. His exploration transcends traditional philosophical paradigms, drawing upon aspects of Eastern philosophies while rigorously critiquing their foundations. The text defies categorization, oscillating between philosophy, psychology, and spiritual discourse, aiming to awaken an understanding beyond the conceptual confines of the mind. U. G. Krishnamurti, often seen as a maverick thinker, draws from his own experiences of disillusionment with established spiritual traditions and intellectual thought. Having once been considered a disciple of a prominent spiritual leader, Krishnamurti's journey led him to articulate a distinct viewpoint on the non-existence of the 'self' as a separable entity. His insights are steeped in a deep sense of personal inquiry, resembling that of a modern-day sage guiding readers towards a profound realization of existence uncolored by mental constructs. "Mind is a Myth" is an essential read for anyone intrigued by the complexities of consciousness and the illusions of identity. This book invites you to dismantle preconceptions and embark on a transformative intellectual journey. By engaging with Krishnamurti's revolutionary ideas, readers will find themselves encouraged to cultivate a direct encounter with reality, free from mental distractions.

The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell

William Blake

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell is a book by the English poet and printmaker William Blake. It is a series of texts written in imitation of biblical prophecy but expressing Blake's own intensely personal Romantic and revolutionary beliefs. Like his other books, it was published as printed sheets from etched plates containing prose, poetry, and illustrations. The plates were then coloured by Blake and his wife Catherine. It opens with an introduction of a short poem entitled "Rintrah roars and shakes his fires in the burden'd air". William Blake claims that John Milton was a true poet and his epic poem Paradise Lost was "of the Devil's party without knowing it". He also claims that Milton's Satan was truly his Messiah. The work was composed between 1790 and 1793, in the period of radical ferment and political conflict during the French Revolution. The title is an ironic reference to Emanuel Swedenborg's theological work Heaven and Hell, published in Latin 33 years earlier. Swedenborg is directly cited and criticised by Blake in several places in the Marriage. Though Blake was influenced by his grand and mystical cosmic conception, Swedenborg's conventional moral strictures and his Manichaean view of good and evil led Blake to express a deliberately depolarised and unified vision of the cosmos in which the material world and physical desire are equally part of the divine order; hence, a marriage of heaven and hell. The book is written in prose, except for the opening "Argument" and the "Song of Liberty". The book describes the poet's visit to Hell, a device adopted by Blake from Dante's Divine Comedy and Milton's Paradise Lost."

Ben Hur - A Tale of the Christ

Lewis Wallace

Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ is a novel by Lew Wallace, published by Harper and Brothers on November 12, 1880, and considered "the most influential Christian book of the nineteenth century". It became a best-selling American novel, surpassing Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852) in sales. The book also inspired other novels with biblical settings and was adapted for the stage and motion picture productions.
Ben Hur remained at the top of the U.S. all-time bestseller list until the 1936 publication of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. The 1959 MGM film adaptation of Ben Hur is considered one of the greatest films ever made and was seen by tens of millions, going on to win a record 11 Academy Awards in 1960, after which the book's sales increased and it surpassed Gone with the Wind. It was blessed by Pope Leo XIII, the first novel ever to receive such an honour. The success of the novel and its stage and film adaptations also helped it to become a popular cultural icon that was used to promote numerous commercial products.
The story recounts the adventures of Judah Ben-Hur, a Jewish prince from Jerusalem, who is enslaved by the Romans at the beginning of the first century and becomes a charioteer and a Christian. Running in parallel with Judah's narrative is the unfolding story of Jesus, from the same region and around the same age. The novel reflects themes of betrayal, conviction, and redemption, with a revenge plot that leads to a story of love and compassion.
