 LIVING IN THE INFINITEAND STILL GETTING TO WORK ON TIME A Guide for the Perplexed Stan Smith Have you ever felt confused about how to integrate your spiritual life with your material life? According to the author, Stan Smith, the need for this book arose from his experiences and observations of almost two decades as a teacher in the Actualism program for spiritual growth, transformation and integration. These observations came from his interaction with numerous students who were dedicated to exploring the processes of their own personal identities and growth, but often expressed confusion. The confusion was not unique to these individuals, but was, as the author explains, inherent in our cultural understanding of the interconnected interrelationship between the infinite and eternal, and the finite “here/now”. Living in the Infinite explains the complexity of the design of the individual human being, one’s personal relationship with the Creator aspect, and the powerful inner drive on the part of the Human to understand and integrate that relationship in day-to-day living. The author provides a series of experiential sessions designed to assist the reader in moving from intellectual understanding to actual experience of “being”. These graduated sessions start with a foundation experience, then build on that to more expanded awareness of the unique nature of the Infinite Beingness and yet Finite Embodiment that is the paradoxical challenge of human existence. An important part of this book is an excellent, detailed set of Appendices which allow for more in-depth exploration of the historical and socio-cultural evolution of religious thought and practice, in relation to the Infinite/Finite, dual nature of humankind.

Her story is particularly directed at today’s contemporary woman who, in the struggle for success and self-fulfillment has lost something of herself in the process.

Lea Terhune When a westerner thinks of Tibet it is difficult to separate the geography from the religion or either from the politics of the area. For most westerners, Tibet is located in a far away land, high in the Himalayas. It is Shangri-La, with Ronald Coleman and never growing old. It is a place of mystery shrouded in mists and challenges of isolation. It is Buddhism and the Dalai Lama, the religious leader of the Tibetan people, who makes his home in India, a country to the south; it is a place under the political and military dominance of Communist China, a country to the north. Author Lea Terhune skillfully and truthfully brings a part of the Tibetan political landscape into clear focus and provides the western reader with insight into the history, background and personality of the 17th Karmapa, Orgyen Trinley Dorje. This well researched work unlocks the riveting tale of the Karmapa’s disputed incarnation, and traces the roots of the Kagyu tradition and the history of the previous Karmapa in order to illuminate the tale of the young man born to play a key role in the future of Tibet. Lea is a writer and editor who was based in India from 1982 until 2005. She has also worked as a correspondent and producer for CNN International, Radio Deutsche Welle, ABCNews.com, and the Voice of America. In addition, she edited SPAN Magazine for the U.S. Embassy for more than seven years. She has maintained her connection to Actualism through the years. Recently she returned to California where she pursues her career as a writer and bodyworker. Wisdom Publications |

Valda E. Wells The author, Valda Wells, was a
valued member of the New York Actualism Center until her passing in January
2005. During her final months, she was able to bring together the works
which appear in this small, but vital volume. Valda was an ordained minister
and dedicated her life to service of others – human, animal, and nature.
Throughout her life, she maintained a stoic stance which enabled her to
bring to fulfillment projects which those less determined would walk away
from. The words of poetry and prose contained within the covers of this book
speak to a life which sought to balance the mundane and the spiritual,
business and art, freedom and responsibility. Counterbalance Books |
