“That includes knowing that you are enough just as you are, and you always have been — rather than ‘I will only be happy when I achieve this goal or make this amount of money or can get this particular product.’”

From his moment of inspiration in 1915, when the full significance of the idea behind the phrase “Reverence for Life” dawned on Albert Schweitzer whilst floating past a herd of hippopotamuses on the Ogowe River in the Gabon, he worked for the remaining 50 years of his life, both in his actions and his writings to communicate the far-reaching importance of this idea to the world. However, beyond writing about it in numerous books and thousands of personal letters, and speaking about it in lectures, sermons and conversations with friends, he remained confident that the idea will make its own way in the world at its own pace.


Cheers!

This beautiful five-minute clip follows five children from five different religions - Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and Buddhism - as they eat breakfast, get dressed and set off to their respective places of worship. Each culture and tradition is so distinct and different, and yet the short film manages to capture the simplicity and purity of each. When it comes to the spiritual practice of their religion - every child is a natural.

Books are awesome, aren’t they? They open a whole new world of imagination, letting the reader travel to a distant land or accomplish otherworldly feats without leaving the comfort of their home. They stimulate the mind, increase knowledge, expand the vocabulary – and also teach important life lessons. In honor of International Literacy Day on September 8, here are 25 quirky, colorful children’s books that are ingrained with fundamental values - for every child to discover and enjoy.

"What do I think? I think that this comes from Sofo Archon being crazy in a sick society! ---> Remember: No matter how much suffering you might experience from walking the path of non-conformity, the advantages of doing so far outweigh the disadvantages. Just like a mother experiences tremendous pain while giving birth, you are experiencing immense pain birthing a new kind of life. A life of beauty, of joy, of celebration. Pain often goes hand in hand with positive change, so embrace it, allow it to guide you and let it be a catalyst for your inner metamorphosis."

Imagine asking a question, then without warning falling into a deep state of unconsciousness. Minutes later you open your eyes and find the complete answer written out on your computer screen. This is what James Twyman experienced, and "The Master Teacher Within" is the transcript of that amazing journey into the heart of enlightenment.

So what is the skill that is mastered with the deliberate practice of meditation? Some equate 10,000 hours of meditation to a PhD in happiness. Other people say it is peace, emotional freedom, serenity, self-awareness, liberation, or non-attachment. For me, I like to use the word Self-Mastery, which I believe encompasses all these concepts.
