The central idea of the human equation

בצעירותי, הייתי כבן תשע עשרה, עלה בדעתי לכתוב אנציקלופדיה אנתרופולוגית על האדם, שתכלול מאה כרכים. אכן, לא השתניתי הרבה מאז, לבד מספר הכרכים שהאנציקלופדיה שלי אמורה לכלול. היום אמורים להיות לה 500 כרכים. נעשיתי יותר שאפתן, וכפי הנראה, גם יותר מפונטס. לזכותי יאמר, שכמעט והשלמתי את מאת הכרכים הראשונים, כך שחיפשתי לעצמי משימה יותר הירואית. ובכן, מהי האידיאה הכללית המרחפת על המשוואה האנושית שלי – ה'אקיס מונדי' או 'ציר העולם' שלי? האמת, התקשיתי להגיע למסקנה חד משמעית. אולי, אני רוצה להקיף את... כל האדם. הרבי מקוצק התבטא פעם, שהיה ברצונו לכתוב ספר אחד שיכיל את כל האדם, שיקרא בהתאם, 'ספר תולדות אדם', אך אחר כך, מסיבה השמורה עימו, ויתר על הרעיון. צדיק גדול אחר, השל"ה, אכן כתב ספר שנקרא 'תולדות אדם'. זה בערך רעיון 'המשוואה האנושית', שאני חשבתי עליו. אפשר לדבר איפוא על אידיאת האדם. אפשר לדבר על טבעו, אם יש לו טבע, ואפשר לדבר עליו כעל יוצר שליבת הוויתו היא החירות. הנה, לדוגמה, כמה הגדרות למהות האדם:

The archetype series

Jung and the process of individuation - libido alchemy, archetypes and self-realization

Jung felt he was a messenger to preach to the world an ancient / new truth, about the possible connection between the conscious and the unconscious; Between the ordinary personality, who lives in relative reality, and the 'self', who lives in dreams and in the deep dimension of our lives. His Torah was formed from the inquiry of himself. He himself was the experimenter and the experimenter, the researcher and the laboratory. Found, his mission was also to describe the process he went through as an inspiring story. He himself became the living model for his message; The man and the message have merged, as they merge in every ‘great life’ that becomes a masterpiece. Jung made a great innovation for both the West and the East. For the West, he has rediscovered to him a living God - living within the soul within, and not in churches and religious establishments. For the East, he refused to turn his back on the world, to life as it appears and is meaningful to man living in the world, in exchange for abstract nirvana. To the west, Jung mentioned the 'living god' - to the east, he mentioned the 'living man'. 431 pages

The Warrior - in life, philosophy and cinema

The protagonist is the exception, the one who even when he is afraid like everyone else, he does not let fear paralyze him. He learns to turn fear and pain into friends, energetic Sami and valuable teachers. Adrenaline, the great drug, which nature uses to prepare the body for escape or attack, is the dragon on which the hero rides out of self-control. And so, when others run for their lives, he is left alone in the face of the threat. When others go into hysteria, he goes into meditation. When others break, it becomes more sturdy. 186 pages

The Archaeologist - in life, philosophy and cinema

The archaeologist invites us to embark on an adventure, which is also a sacred journey of initiation, to explore a fascinating mystery and come into contact with a supersensible, magical, colorful world, full of magical and dangerous beings. Above all, he reveals to us how much the past, which we thought was 'dead', is vibrant and full of life. Our archaeologist, as an archetype of the self, is no ordinary scholar. It belongs to the 'other reality' and takes an active part in it. For him, the past is fascinating because it is full of life and present in the 'here and now'. He is completely involved within the present. 225 pages

Detective - in life, philosophy and cinema

The detective is a fundamentally modern hero. He is unlike any character we have known in ancient mythology. He has no superpowers - only developed senses like a predator tracing prey. Indeed, if he mentions anyone from the ancient period, he is similar to a tribal hunter. He does not hunt for a living but to protect his tribe from dangerous predators, which have begun to see humans as a type of food or have gone mad. He must follow in their footsteps and capture them, so that they will not continue to lay their brunt on the members of the community. The detective as a man of law belongs to the archetype of justice, which we all carry within us as conscience and moral sense. This archetypal energy is uniquely sensitive to injustice and feels a deep need to preserve the cosmic balance between 'sin' and its 'punishment'. She wanted to protect the innocent and save them from all evil. She despises the exploitation, the parasites, the contempt for the lives of others. She easily identifies with the sufferer of no injustice in his palm and is willing to sacrifice himself to save him. 257 pages

The Magician - in life, philosophy and cinema

The magician archetype appears in every soul, even if not with the same intensity; It is endowed with superpowers, the explorer of the secrets of creation, in contact with the 'other reality', the masterpiece and miracle, capable of attaining the unbelievable. The magic. We feel the need to bring back to life the depth and magic that they once had. What is the message of magic to our lives? Do we feel this magic or do we want to bring it back to the world? Do we have powers over or at least an alchemical ability to see the magic that appears in things when the heart is open in love? 201 pages

The Vampire - in life, philosophy and cinema

בספר זה אנו פטורים מן הצורך להוכיח או להכחיש את קיומו העובדתי של הערפד. אין לנו סקרנות מיוחדת לאגדה, לפולקור או למעשיות עממיות. ואפילו הוא יצור זאולוגי של ממש, אנו מפקידים את מלאכת הקיטלוג המדעי והצייד שלו בידי מומחים לדבר. אנו חוקרים אותו כאן רק כמטאפורה פסיכולוגית-רוחנית ודמות 'צל' של עצמנו. לאמור, הוא גילום של הנפש האנושית בראי הדמיון והאידיאה. הוא השתקפות, אולי מעוותת אך ססגונית, של היבטים מסוימים בתת מודע שלנו, האישי והקולקטיבי. הערפד הוא ארכיטיפ, כח פעיל ויצירתי בנפשנו. 190 עמ'

The superhero - in life, philosophy and cinema

The multitude of heroes we have met over the generations in mythology, religion and art, is vast and will not tell much. Starting with the first gods of ancient myth, continuing with colorful and magical characters from the legend and folk tales and ending with the mighty superheroes and technology wizards of comics, born in the twentieth century. Although the new superhero was born in the modern age, he was inspired by a long tradition of works of archetypal imagination and pure fantasy, born throughout history. And as the natives of the comics pro and multiplied into their thousands until they inhabited an entire universe of characters, dimensions and timelines, it became clear to all that we inadvertently had a new mythology born, full of animals and magic, beautiful for our age. Like ancient mythologies, she not only reflects us but also shapes us in her image as a photographer. 204 pages

Artificial intelligence - in life, philosophy and cinema

The day when our Android will be equipped with an emotion chip and self-awareness is still far away. But the day when artificial intelligence will be able to stand the Turing test and deceive us by a sophisticated assimilation of human intelligence, emotion and awareness, is just around the corner. We open up to our Android and our complex emotions as we do to almost everything in our lives. In any case, even if it is nothing more than a sophisticated mechanical toy, once it has acquired a kind of personality and life unique to it, our behavior towards it will reflect us for better or worse with an embarrassing degree of exposure. Our fear and vision, our hatred and love, sex and violence may not affect him at all, but they will be reflected from his reflection as if from a bright aspecarlia. 245 pages

Genetic engineering - in life, philosophy and cinema

A huge biotechnological revolution is knocking on our door. It has already changed our lives beyond recognition, but its impact on our children will be so extreme that it can be considered a pure fantasy. As usual, the blessing and horror of modern biology are bound together and they demand from us a thorough clarification. In another aspect, we return to the world of myth in a modern update. For the first time, we are able to fulfill the visions of mythology in a scientific way, accessible to all of us, not just individuals of virtue, lovers of the gods or geniuses of meditation. 201 pages

Time travel - in life, philosophy and cinema

Is time travel at all possible? And I mean, a real journey in the timeline, forward or backward, to history or to the future? Admittedly, fantasy and science fiction writers assure us that this time travel is not only possible, but has already come to fruition. But what do the physics geniuses of ordinary science say about this? Second, if it is possible, how can it be implemented? Are we able to build a time machine or use some other means to travel backwards or forwards in time? And a third question, which is no less important to any sane person: Assuming that this journey is possible and we are able to carry it out, should we make it? 205 pages

The Whisperer to the Spirits - in life, philosophy and cinema

A medium-sized person, able to see or converse with the dead is today known as the 'whisperer to the spirits'. He is endowed with a 'sixth sense' to see the 'hidden reality'. Perhaps this 'supersensible' talent is in all of us but often in a dormant state. In the whisperer to the spirits this sense is active and allows him to perceive 'another world'. He is able to cross the border between the 'Middle Land' - the three-dimensional reality, perceived by the senses, to enter that ghostly kingdom of souls and visit Sheol even before his death. Thus he becomes the essential 'link' between the living and the dead capable of carrying messages from here to there and back. 241 pages

Non-fiction and philosophy books

Introduction to the History of Philosophy - Ancient Greek Philosophy - Pre-Socrates

Man experiences his self as one, even when he is sensitive to the multiplicity of his face. Self-consciousness is always one. This personal identity is the basis for any other identity. We assume global oneness because we experience the inner oneness of our consciousness. We always refer to ourselves as one '- one' I 'is simple, with no parts and splits. Therefore, for us, the world must be 'one' and God must be 'one'. 270 pages

In the secret of the unit - the man in existential philosophy - following Kierkegaard and Nietzsche

It is easy to assume that if this person is not predetermined as nature, then he is evolving - he is more of a process than a finished product. In other words, the essence of man is the element of freedom and creation in him. Existential philosophy tries to tell us about this 'unit', when it first does a job of 'evacuating a place' - it shows us what should not be seen as fully human. So, it sharply raises the question: what does it mean from this situation that man is a 'unit'? Do we have a message or a message for this exceptional person? 190 pages

Angel of Death and Insurance Agent - Woody Allen as an existential philosopher

Woody Allen does not laugh at small things. He is not bothered by small things and does not inflate them unnecessarily. He is a true existential philosopher. He looks at the basic misery of life, love, loneliness, death - the 'state of man'. It deals with 'borderline situations' in which a person encounters his or her disability. This is not a technical limitation. You cannot improve over time through practice. As a person, you are forced into your reality. You cannot exaggerate your existential problems. For you, they are exaggerated to the end without any help from you. You can not change reality. You can only change your reaction to it. You can decide if you want to live your life as a tragedy or a comedy. You can run away from consciousness, come to terms with the circumstances, fight them, love them, or ... laugh at them. 169 pages

The Blind Librarian - on Borges' work

The supersensible demands for his use the waiver of the use of the ordinary sense. At the very least, the delay of the ordinary sense in order to enable the emergence of a high and sophisticated sense, belonging to a reality with a more refined frequency. In the case of Borges, the parable became a reality. He did gradually become blind while working as the director of the National Library of Argentina. Has Borges become a blind contractor? In my opinion, he did indeed turn his shortcoming into an advantage, as much as a true genius. He took advantage of the loss of external vision to cultivate clear vision of a different kind, more sensitive to the inner truth, behind the appearance of the eye. 196 pages

Infinity Researchers

All the mathematics and thought associated with the concept of 'infinity' has interesting implications for our psychology. When dealing with an infinite number of numbers you must use your mind. But when you are dealing with a quality infinity, you must use ... your heart. Again, the classic example is, as usual, our relationship to God. You can look at all that God has created in heaven and earth, and think that the universe is infinite - it is infinite in space and time and it is infinite in the amount of different and strange things that appear in the world. The more you count them one by one, the more your sense of admiration for divine glory and abundance will increase. But God appears not only as a numerical infinity in the 'universe of the ten things' - he also appears as a 'quality infinity' and an 'absolute one', which cannot be compared to anything else. Here, the mind will not help you at all. 189 pages

Grandma Spider's dream catcher

Undoubtedly, 'connectivity' is the name of nature's game. You have nothing that stands in isolation from other things. In any case, any attempt to describe a system as closed, which classical physics has always done without remorse, turned out to be a private case of an infinitely rich reality - complex, chaotic, whose clear hallmark is the 'butterfly effect'. 'Connectivity' immediately creates 'dependency'; Sometimes, it is a symbiotic 'reciprocity', and sometimes, a dependence of a consequence on its cause. An organism is a complex system in which it is easy to identify how 'everything is connected to everything' and how 'everything affects everything'. Let us try to trace some basic concepts that we have inherited from the magical, philosophical and scientific tradition that may teach us that modern network science is not so new. In fact, apart from being able to calculate connectivity mathematically, he would not add much to what we knew, even if he called it by new names. Of course, its main importance is its adaptation to the realities of our generation, the age of the Internet and mass media, where this connectivity has indeed become more important than ever. 178 pages

The Book of Wonder and Horror

Imagine that you are asking God a simple question: "Why did you create evil?" He's starting to explain to you. You carefully examine his answer ... and refute it! He brings you another answer. And again, you disprove it! You refute all of God's answers one by one. You prove that there is no need for any evil! Evil has no justification, neither logical nor moral! What do you think will happen now? Throughout history people have found excuses for why evil is needed ... and thus justified themselves and God to do evil. It seems to me that no one has tried to logically prove that he does not need evil ... at all! No one has yet systematically destroyed all the theories. It seems to me that this is a serious innovation in the history of thought. Assuming we can prove something like this, will God take this argument seriously and change the world fundamentally? 226 pages

Genetic engineering and the power of thought

To what extent are we able to influence our DNA by the power of thought? This idea, which is foreign to the mainstream of science, is at the heart of the Torah of latent evolution, guided by consciousness. Our spiritual and change any operating software we want, we are free to redesign ourselves, at any level.

The sacred tree - the insane wisdom of the sounds of the earth

It is impossible to talk about being in terms of 'benefit'. It is an existential quality that resembles an aesthetic experience - it is not 'useful' - its value in itself. You should not make it a kitchen cabinet or bookcase. You are supposed to admire and marvel, to open up to beauty. You are supposed to experience your self-being in a new way. You should be fascinated. 220 pages

Goofy genius

Presumably, every entity strives for the optimism of existence just as the ancients thought. Injury and life-threatening stimulates the brain to mobilize all its forces to survive. He uses all his abilities to regenerate tissues and create patterns to compensate himself for his injury and disability. More than once, he was forced to invent methods that had not occurred to previous minds. Admittedly, not every brain is so creative, but every now and then, a surviving brain with extraordinary resilience that is unwilling to succumb to its fate is revealed. We are here to successfully 'assemble a reality' and live in it out of self-fulfillment. Don Juan called for the fitness of the mind to make the world known to the extent that it would allow us to orient ourselves as ‘Tonal’. This is the 'mind' of the Far East and our 'consciousness' and 'mind'. As Kant explained to us at length, the brain works through processing software - 'categories', which are a type of 'brain' applications. The sages of the East spoke of the 'intellectual conditioning' that builds reality and thus turns it into a 'Maya' - a kind of illusion reminiscent of the 'Matrix'. 186 pages

Wondering about the first ones

All religions, philosophies, esoteric sects, yoga practices of all kinds, are ways to accelerate human evolution, compressing countless incarnations into as few incarnations as possible, and if possible, achieving everything in one incarnation - complete enlightenment. The deepest wisdom of conscious evolution is to understand how to accelerate your nature without throwing it out of balance. It is precisely when you seek to transcend your nature that you must cooperate with it in a much more clever and creative way. Here, your big challenge as a person. 181 pages

Beyond the principle of entropy

There is a divine happiness, like a treasure, that lies within the human being. Nothing compares to this happiness. This happiness is sought by all souls, it is the happiness that individuals of virtue known as mystics have become acquainted with and they do not stop talking about. It is a great treasure, a gift, a divine kiss that breathes life. Nothing will compare to her, all human happiness is only a hint to her. We seek this happiness in everything we do, in money, in glory, in sex, in ordinary love. 194 pages

Kabbalah books and storks

Preachers of God - the secrets of the body according to the Kabbalah

This book lovingly presents a detailed overview of the secrets of the body according to the Kabbalistic conception. For the first time in Hebrew, the body was surveyed in its entirety, skull-to-heel, not only according to random compilations from the sources, but in an attempt to formulate a systematic and in-depth thinking model that would answer the big question of how to make the flesh body divine. 381 pages

Isaac Newton and the Temple - Science, Kabbalah and everything in between

Newton believed that the Creator of the world had chosen to reveal his most hidden secrets to the Jewish people. In his view, the secrets of creation, on the material and human level, as they are expressed in history, were flooded with the dimensions of our tabernacle and temples and the sacrificial rites of the Levitical priests. 173 pages

In this book the reader will find guidance on how to use the Kabbalistic Tree of Life counts to dissolve old fears and defensive patterns that have made his heart rocky and opaque, lonely, through compassionate speech and trust, examining "talk to the rock" so that this rock becomes elusive again. 170 pages

Connect to the Tree of Life - Keys to Holiness, Love and Creativity

Each of the patriarchs served as a model and chariot for a different count. Through their characters one can understand the nature of the Sefirot and the order of their leadership. These ten spheres constitute the full portrait of the soul, the image of God, according to which everyone is created, reflects it and serves as its abode. This is the tree of life, the sacred tree, the secret of man for real. When we learn it we connect to it, we remember our original, deep identity, and open it to light. 191 pages

The Mask Game of the Absolute - The Metaphysics of the One and the Riddle of the Self

In science, we are looking for the "theory of everything", some super-equation, which will express the supreme unity hidden behind the screen of phenomena and the ocean of details. In mysticism, we seek the one within ourselves. This riddle pulsates and hurts us personally. The sparkle of this one we sometimes discover in the inner focus, beyond the veil of the senses; Suddenly, there is a kind of reversal, precisely the one that is natural to us and multiplicity is imaginary, a kind of 'illusion' born of self-forgetfulness. 180 pages

The key to thieves' storks

The stork did not come but to teach the thief the key of the thieves who opens all the doors; Gd does not really need anything but the heart, the point of truth in the heart, for "in the beginning God created", the final words of Amt. There is no need for any virtues and miracles, for the bone of creation, the bone of the soul, the bone of this love, is the true virtue and there is no other. Every name of man is a holy name, and every prayer in the heart is a true uniqueness that connects heaven and earth with the joy of marriage of a bride and groom. 195 pages

Eternity, time and the source of infinity

Whether we give the title 'eternity' to God or to pure consciousness, we may repeat the same error of Permenides and imagine this eternity as a kind of autarkic wholeness, doing nothing but being itself. Da Aka, that this is a basic definition of a complete fool, who learns nothing, such a pit-secret that immediately loses every drop that one tries to put into it. We are trapped in the ancient logic that absolute truth must be without any change, otherwise it is an illusion. 244 pages

Government over the Angels - How Man Became Master of Himself

In the healing process, the beginning is a feeling of splitting and fragments that do not connect nicely together, a kind of internal contradictions or states of ambiguity that put the entity into a kind of existential doubt in relation to its identity and in relation to everything else. The 'separation force' has worked too vigorously and now it is necessary to summon the 'unifying force', which will once again turn these rifts into one fabric. 214 pages

The human experience to the issue

Bird of Liberty - Following the teachings of Don Juan

According to Don Juan, the ordinary self is just a tiny bubble of consciousness in an endless sea of universal energy. As human beings we have a chance to open up to more, new, unimaginable worlds. We are able to transcend patterns of routine, come in contact with great power and win the gift of eternal life. But the ordinary self will do anything not to abandon itself. He clings to his limits with terrible stubbornness and refuses to let go. This is the main reason this path is so difficult. This is a forced war that in order to win it requires immense caution and wisdom. Especially since it's a war against yourself. But every victory, and even a partial one, suddenly expands the limits of perception and opens a peek-a-boo into an infinite universe. 171 pages

One with everything - Stanislaw Groff and the Cosmic Game

הפעם הראשונה שבה גרופ נטל את סם ההזיה כמתנדב במחלקה הפסיכאטרית שבה עבד, עשתה עליו רושם כביר ושינתה את מסלול חייו והקריירה המקצועית שלו. היא הפכה אותו מפסיכולוג רגיל... ל'פסיכונאוט' – 'אסטרונאוט של החלל הפנימי' או בפשטות, מיסטיקן! אחרי החוויה המהממת הזאת, כבר לא הייתה שום דרך חזרה לתמימות הראשונית. לדידו, נפתרה התעלומה שטרדה אותו. השיטה הפסיכואנליטית לא מצליחה לרפא כהלכה את חולי הנפש מסיבה פשוטה, שכבר חשבנו עליה – היא לא באמת מבינה את... נפש האדם! רחוק מזה! גרוף מזכיר לנו איך התחוללה המהפכה בחייו בפתיחתו של כל ספר שכתב: "ההתנסות הראשונה שלי בל.ס.ד, שאני עומד לספר עליה, היתה ללא ספק החוויה החשובה והמשפיעה ביותר בחיי. למרות שזה נמשך רק כמה שעות – והחלק המשמעותי ביותר שלה רק כעשר דקות – היא שלחה אותי במסלול מקצועי שונה לחלוטין מזה שלמדתי והוכשרתי אליו. היא סימנה לי מסלול חדש, שאני עוקב אחריו בתשוקה רבה ובנחישות עד עצם היום הזה. היא גם עוררה אצלי תהליך של שינוי אישי עמוק והתעוררות רוחנית. היום, כמעט חמישים שנה לאחר מכן, אני מסתכל על החוויה הזאת כעל חניכה הדומה לזו שהוצעה למשתתפים בטקס מיסטריה עתיק." 347 עמ'

The greatest psychonaut of all - Terence McKenna and the archaic revival of the psychedelic era

Tres McKenna (1946-2000) is a social revolutionary and an anarchist of a new breed, far more radical than any of his predecessors, who slipped under the watchful eye of 'Big Brother' - the state, just because he was so exceptional that he was considered a holy, harmless fool. But Terence McKenna's brave and unusual voice did not die with his death. On the contrary, it has grown stronger over the years with the help of several books he has written and hundreds of fascinating, thought-provoking and inspiring lectures, which he has left on the Internet on a surprising variety of topics. This is a consciousness researcher, mystic, philosopher, metaphysical poet, anthropologist, expert in comparative religion, recluse, cultural critic, shaman, alchemist and psychedelic psychonaut, who in his delusional and learned way wanted to give us a great gift - reconnecting with the shamanic tradition, the universe and the hidden dimension. 261 pages

The mystical experience - the eternal search of man for ecstasy

Each of us is, as Kant puts it, a 'citizen of two worlds' - the ordinary world of the ordinary personality, which is the mental construction of the whole human race, and the world of mystery, which brings us together with our self, the hidden dimensions of reality and absolute reality above all. Here, the mind is challenged to the limit to make room for the unmediated experience. These two worlds are not just in parallel with each other but are mixed with each other and are constantly mating with each other - all according to the degree of maturity and spiritual depth of the person exposed to them. That is to say, what is strange to one, is simple and self-evident to the other. What constitutes a free space for one, is a wonderful fullness for the other. What torments the one, releases the other, and so on. Throughout history humans have recounted various experiences that befell them when these two dimensions, the familiar and the numinous, met. They called it revelation, mystical experience, ecstasy or transcendence. Usually, they interpreted them in a religious context. 228 pages

The pagan experience - the worship of nature in the new age

The movement to paganism comes as a return in repentance ... to nature, spirituality and femininity; All those aspects of our culture that have exaggerated and unilaterally nurtured science, the church, dry law and violent competition. The result was the suppression of essential elements in our psyche, both in the life of the individual and in the life of the community. One of the cures we have found for contemporary alienation disease is a return to paganism. We want to sanctify our lives and in the process rekindle the lust for life. We want to return to nature and the sanctity of being. We want to anchor ourselves in the body and as our spirit ascends to heaven to merge with Mother Earth. We feel that only in this way, whole in our physicality, can we become truly spiritual people. And perhaps, most of all, we want to return to love. 231 pages

The shamanic experience

The mystical approach to nature is markedly different from the scientific one. It is not guided by inquiry by way of trial and error but by revelation and sanctification. Usually, the shaman is chosen from childhood by the spirits and guided by them. He is sensitive from other children to the presence of the supersensible dimension in our lives. It is a destiny or 'role', which is often forced to do good, which demands from the person devotion, supreme discipline, and often, self-sacrifice. But it is not enough that man is the 'chosen one'. In order to deal with a hidden reality, clearly different from the physical one, prolonged training is required, which is passed on in the tradition from teacher to student. The ability to move freely between worlds comes only after many years of study and personal growth. From another angle, we are all artists by birth because we were all once children of wonder - we were open and attentive to the wonder of this reality, in which nothing is taken for granted. 202 pages

The tribal experience - tribalism in the modern world

It turns out that we have a lot to learn from the "primitives". First, a different attitude to nature, much more considerate and non-destructive. It is not about harmony but it is definitely about a relationship that is much more considerate and responsible towards other life forms, much less destructive and greedy than ours. They know a lot about herbs that we have forgotten or that our company has not discovered. They know a lot about community life together and feel less loneliness and alienation from us. Finally, they seem to feel greater intimacy than ours with the world around them and this is reflected in their spiritual connection to the natural world and the reality beyond. And so, whether it is ancient knowledge lost, an intimate spiritual connection with nature and life, a richer and more harmonious community life or some good advice for enlightened parenting, we hope to find in them something similar that we have lost. 198 pages

The return of the dreamer - the artist as a tribal artist

המונח VISIONARY ART – אמנות חזיונית, הוא מודרני יחסית ואפילו מומחים יתקשו להגדירו. דומה, יש כאן אסכולה יחודית, שהקדישה את עצמה לחיפוש דרכים לתאר מציאות שהיא באחת מוחשית ופנטסטית. היא רואה במציאות הפיסית הפשוטה מעין 'דלת תפיסה' אל ממשות עמוקה וססגונית יותר. אכן, באותה נשימה, היא מיסטית, סימבולית וסוריאליסטית. היא ספגה אל תוכה את החזיונות הדתיים, חלקם יפים להפליא וחלקם חולניים, של הצייר הירונימוס בוש, את הפאתוס הפיוטי והעוצמה הדרמטית של המשורר והצייר ויליאם בלייק, שיצר לו מיתולוגיה פרטית משלו בפיוט ובציור, שעד היום מפליאה אותנו ביופי ובמסתורין שבה. בעקבות הסימבוליסטים היא מחפשת את הארכיטיפי והרב-ממדי ב'תמונות קמאיות', העולות ישירות מן התת מודע אך גם מעובדות בכשרון ועומק המחשבה כדי להפוך אותן לסמלים אוניברסליים של הנפש האנושית. מן הסוריאליסם היא אמצה בהעזה רבה את החופש מכבלי ההגיון כדי להתמסר לרצף אסוציאטיבי של המוח הנאמן לחוקיות משלו. 196 עמ'

Visions of fantastic realism

In the challenging and magical childhood days of humanity, the creative impulse found for itself a pure expression in which reality and fantasy, the interior and the exterior, the personal and the universal, the one-time and the immortal, the self-search and the worship of the gods merged inextricably. Assuming that man has been winking from the beginning of his existence from the 'material from which dreams are made', there is nothing 'in' art 'about the ordinary mundane life. At most, it is the degree of freedom with which the spirit is allowed to search for itself in the thoughts of its heart without any remorse for neglecting its daily survival. 266 pages

Tiny Miracles of Beauty - Art Inspired by the Microscopic World

One of the great tools for our future is the extraordinary combination of science and art. Science can immensely enhance the power of our observation of nature and teach us about its hidden beauty. It can give us the means to capture the hidden and the elusive from the eye. With its help we can delve into the heart of the atom and peek into the dawn of creation. It also gives us sophisticated and powerful creative tools to produce infinite beauty in every aspect of our lives. In this way, we can unite the truth with the beautiful. And all this, while we remember well, that the truth and the beautiful must be united with ... the good. 150 pages

Sacred Realism - Modern Art as the Secular Sanctification

One of the most important roles of modern art compared to the old one was to rediscover to you the ... familiar and common - to surprise you precisely with something you have seen thousands of times around you, and in this way refresh your spirit, maybe even allow it a new birth. Undoubtedly, it's much harder than surprising you with something you've never seen before, such as the freaky creatures that appeared in The Circus of Oddities - a woman with a beard, a werewolf, an elephant man, Siamese twins, a crocodile boy, his skin scales, a man or A dwarf not through nature, and so on. 'Unnatural' we said? Not necessarily. Nature is much more creative than we thought. He clings to the norm compulsively but occasionally he amuses himself with renewing a hair nail while taking something normal and making it bizarre, ridiculous or monstrous. Quite a slight distortion to provoke fear, rejection, and yet, also quite a bit of curiosity. And the intense focus is enough to make something more present, to give it some magical aura. 185 pages

The magic of rust - the fragile beauty of the passer-by

תאר לך ילדה קטנה עם בובת סמרטוטים מרוטה. אולי תחשוב שהיא הייתה שמחה לקבל בובה אחרת תמורתה, חדשה, עשויה פלסטיק ולבושה כמו ברבי, שהיא כמובן, הרבה יותר יפה מזו שלה. אבל אתה לא מבין כלום בילדות קטנות. אתה לא מבין שהבובה הזו יפה בעיניה כפי שהיא. היא יותר מיפה, היא מיוחדת לה, היא אחת ויחידה. היא ספוגה בכל כך הרבה רגש שהילדה הזו הרעיפה עליה שאם היית חש זאת, היית מתחיל לבכות מרוב התפעלות וצער. לא, הסימטריה אינה מושלמת. העור אינו לגמרי חלק, האיברים לא לגמרי בנויים על פי 'חתך הזהב'. האם זה מה שאתה רוצה, 'חתך זהב'? היופי הזה, הקלאסי, אולי מספר לך למה התנהלה מלחמה עשר שנים עבור בעלות על האשה היפה ביוון, הלנה. אבל הוא אינו מספר לך כלום על הקסם שיש לבובת הסמרטוטים של אותה ילדה קטנה. כאשר אתה חושב על וואבי-סאבי תשכח מחתך הזהב, תשכח מהלנה מטרויה, תשכח מאותה שלמות פלסטיק שיש לבובת הברבי. תחשוב רק על בובת הסמרטוטים של ילדה אלמונית שהפיחה בבובה המרוטה שלה כל כך הרבה חיים בכח האהבה של לבה הטהור, התמים. 233 עמ'

Art - idea, self-expression, magic

Most of the masterpieces are not 'beautiful' in the usual sense. The artist is not just a guide who seeks to introduce us to beautiful worlds full of beauty. Most of all, he is a guide, skilled but a little delusional, perhaps insane, to his own psyche. He gives us a tour not only of his paradises, if he even bothers or is able to do so. He pays us a visit to his private hell. He is trying to get rid of his distress. He throws it on the canvas or expresses it in words on paper. The viewer or reader serves him here as a confessing priest or a merciful mother, who is supposed to redeem him from the secrets and nightmares that frighten his soul. 252 pages

New Age Books

The human equation

מורים רבים היו לנו לאורך הדורות ומכולם השתדלנו להפיק את המיטב, הנכון לנו לזמן הזה. כל אחד מהם הוריש לנו תורה כלשהי, אמת, יופי ורצון טוב, ומעל הכל, חזון אדם, שיהיה מוצלח מקודמיו... לא כ'על אדם' אלא כיצור אנושי במלוא מובן המילה. חפשנו לנו אדם אמיץ, המסוגל לראות את המציאות הזו נכוחה מבלי צורך למצוא מפלט באליל כזה או אחר... מעשה ידיו. חסון דיו לעמוד מול הראי פנים אל הפנים ללא מסכות טוטם. פשוט, מעורטל וישר דיו לעמוד כך מול זולתו. אדם אצילי, שלא נס מאחריותו כלפי עצמו וכלפי אחרים, ובכל זאת, יחיד ומיוחד. אדם שלא מרשה לאיש לכפות עליו את דעותיו ואת דרכו בחיים. אדם עדין נפש ועוצמתי, שחי היטב עם עצמו ושרוי בנועם הליכות והרמוניה עם זולתו. שלא משעבד אף אחד – ולא מניח לאף אחד לשעבד אותו. אדם שלא מנצל אף אחד – ולא מניח לאף אחד לנצל אותו. אדם הרואה את עצמו אזרח העולם – מבלי להתנכר לבני משפחתו ושבטו. אדם צנוע המכיר בערך עצמו, המכבד ומוקיר במידה זהה אדם אחר ויש לו כבוד והוקרה רבה לחיים בכל הצורות שהם לובשים. 166 עמ'

The Book of Ascension

The transcendence of the human race is closely linked to the refinement that the divine idea goes through in every age - until it becomes pure and completely transparent, the inclusion of glory. Is not that why you are here, to continue in this work of refinement of the divine idea? Was it not for this reason that you had to feel in your flesh all the abominations which had defiled it throughout the generations, perverted it out of ignorance and dark malice? In order to form a perfectly good will you had to wallow in a lot of wickedness and experience metaphysical abandonment. You had to understand the depth of evil in order to take from it all the sparks of miraculous power with which one can build the Hall of Love. 165 pages

The future of prehistory

לי נראה, מאז איבד האדם המודרני את אלוהיו ואת נשמתו, הוא תר אחריהם בכל מקום אפשרי. יש כאלו שהפכו את המדע לדת החדשה שלהם ויש כאלו שמצאו אותה במאגיה העתיקה, בשאמניזם או בפאגניות החדשה. אחרים, מוכשרים ורבי תושיה, יצרו דת חדשה. העב"מולוגיה היא דת לכל דבר, שהיום יש לה חסידים רבים ברחבי העולם. הם מחכים לשובם של האלים שלהם כפי שנוצרים רבים מחכים לשובו של ישו ואנו היהודים מחכים למשיח. הארכיאולוגיה האסורה מדברת על שפע עצום של ממצאים המוכיחים לדעת החוקר האמיץ את עובדת ביקורם של החוצנים בכדור הארץ. בדרך כלל, מדובר במבנים עתיקים שקשה לעלות על הדעת כיצד הוקמו ללא סיוע של טכנולוגיה משוכללת, מפות שנוצרו לפני מאות שנים שדומות במידה מפתיעה למפות מודרניות של כדור הארץ שנעשו בעזרת... צילומים מגובה של אלפי ק"מ בחלל, מידע אסטרונומי קדום, מדעי ביסודו, המפגין דיוק מפתיע שאי אפשר להסביר את מציאותו בידי אנשים שטכניקות הציפיה שלהם בחלל היו כה פרימיטיביות, וכיוצא. זאת ועוד, כמעט כל המיתולוגיות והדתות מספרות על ביקורם של אלים מן השמיים, על בני כלאים של אלים ובני אדם שיצרו נפילים וגיבורי על למיניהם. האם לא מדובר על הנדסה גנטית, הפרייה מלאכותית וניסויים בשיבוח הגזע האנושי? אכן, כך. אתם אמרתם.

Planetary Enlightenment - Preparations for divine inspiration and dimensional fusion

The new age did not emerge in the birth of a breech from nothing but from what existed before it - from ancient mythologies, great religions to esoteric sects such as theosophy and anthroposophy. It is impossible to understand it without exploring the influence of Eastern mysticism on the West, the flower generation, the LSD and other drugs, neo-paganism and neo-shamanism, Kabbalah and Hasidism as well as Buddhism, Taoism and Zen. But it is not enough to say that the new age It is an eclectic collection that contains all the theories that the human race has created for its generations side by side and all its most absurd ideas. , And yet, it has its own unique characteristics.

The creation that is always born

There is another history, which hardly appears in the regular textbooks. History of the development of the human spirit. Because it is hidden it is easy for you to go wrong and mislead and you need to find the most accurate data to start examining its components. It deals with the realization of ideas. How ideas descended from the world of nobility to the world of action. How they lost their upper radiance along the way, just as the first man lost his limbs. But something remains; Something thin, powerful, concentrated, a kind of information crystal, a kind of hazelnut bone that remains in the body even when it dies - a thin line of light that descends into the dark, broken or severed vessels from their source. 176 pages

On the verge of the 21st century

Technology confuses us in all sorts of ways. The most serious of which is that it replaces our 'inner chariot', a spiritual growth of consciousness, in an 'outer chariot', in one material act or another. It guarantees us a paradise of physical comfort and artificial immortality. We were so fascinated by this technological vision that we largely forgot our inner chariot; The need to cultivate alertness, love, the delicacy of conscience, the magic of the senses, the creativity, the faith, the deep desire to reach enlightenment. 180 pages

The global family

The world has become a global village, the internet has turned humanity into a global mind, and now the conscience demands to turn all peoples and life forms across the planet, into a global family. As Confucius was well aware, only those who were devoted sons to their family received the best training to be good citizens for their country. And now, the circle is closed, when you are a devoted and loving family member, when you are a loyal citizen of your homeland, then you have received the best training to be a citizen of the world, and to understand that your first family is the family of man and life. The Declaration of the Rights of Life embodies the human sense of justice. But in justice, love itself must sometimes be the result of sensitive empathy. This is the most enlightened selfishness, which alone is sacred to me. Everyone is you because everyone resides in your heart without partition, without discrimination, without arrogant arrogance. This is the mature humanity that man deserves. In fact, she looks forward to his future. 177 pages

Through Beauty - a metaphysical story about dance, sex and enlightenment

In 'The Way of Beauty' Arie Y. Live takes us on a personal and universal, archetypal journey, to another kind of dance - not that dictated by a choreographer or a sacred tradition but that which is guided by the higher self, always present in the here and now; The spontaneous, ecstatic movement, born out of a deep listening to the unstoppable flow of energy from the heart to all the organs of the body. 128 pages

The guide for the lazy - how to succeed in life without effort

It's not a shame to be lazy, and I've heard of a lot of lazy people whose laziness made them invent the wheel, and all sorts of other wonderful inventions that have made life so much easier.

You need to find your own methods to do things well and quickly so that you can get rid of them and rest afterwards. 125 pages

The universal dreamer

Beyond rest and rejuvenation sleep has to offer us more, amazing things. It can serve as a gateway to our higher self, to creativity and prophecy, to other dimensions of reality. It can bring us together with the 'universal dreamer', of whom we are all sparks, prisms in its infinite light. It can become a whole yoga and offer a unique training method to awaken to our true identity. 170 pages

Poetry books

The architect of the matrix

Writing a song is one way to focus the gaze on small flashes of light, fog figures, distant sounds like a dream, which take place on the fringes of consciousness - like meeting another self, or another aspect within me, who lives in secret, feels and thinks things from a different angle than the ordinary self. . The charm of a poem is in its fog, being rising like a vapor from a kind of hidden earth, hidden even from the kind of poet himself. The song does not belong to him but to someone else who lives in it and weaves his own reflections on life, as a kind of spectator who shows interest in things from a quite different angle from the private perspective of his daily personality, the trifle. 272 pages

Redemption of soul

Songs struggle for confession and insight and create a kind of strange spiral dance among themselves. For a moment, they seem to move on, solving or skipping an ancient riddle that always tails after them, and suddenly, they return to their first place, as if nothing had happened and the Messiah from whom they expected redemption was revealed to be a false Messiah. Perhaps it is the way of this correction that is subject to a different logic, to the beauty of chaos, to shake the wings of a butterfly that creates an unexpected effect. 215 pages

A wounded pilgrim

And again we are here, in the ancient encounter between love and death. It is simple, that the previous being should dissolve when a new being is born. In every deep love, which gives birth to life, a certain death must appear, a certain parting from the self you were before, before being administered to another being. Otherwise, the merger was not deep and everyone remained what they were before. This was not the poet's intention and it does not interest him. He is interested in how one is born again by the power of love. Therefore, it is constantly dealing with extreme melting conditions that occur at high temperatures. 178 pages

The amusement of the king in his bones

This book is based on the notion that the world and the soul are fragments of the divine being. It begins with the shattering of worlds, the brokenness of the soul, and ascends to rejuvenation and resurrection. One pole, the 'wonder' - the pain and longing, a consciousness of disconnection from the divine source and a terrible thirst to return to it. His other pole, the 'correction' - the uniqueness out of love, out of admiration and beauty. 128 pages

Following the invention of the computer - the ultimate tool for storing and processing information, and the advent of the Internet, we have received new, powerful tools for disseminating knowledge and perfecting creativity. And now, following developments in artificial intelligence, we are on the verge of a huge revolution in the basic force that shapes our human culture - our learning skills.

When you realize, that you are living in an ocean of infinite energy, all you have to do is convert one form of energy into another form, which you are comfortable using. Usually, we want to produce from all energy ... electricity - the power behind our culture. Not only the sun is an inexhaustible source of energy, (I am not worried about the prediction that the sun will 'run out' to us in ... 5 billion years.) - Every movement is an expression of free energy - wind, wave motion, temperature differences, pressure differences, and the like.

Is a habitable apartment supposed to cost you several millions, enslave you to a bank mortgage or get you stuck in a troubled neighborhood? Can only professional architects and builders build a house that will not collapse on its occupants? It turns out that this is very far from the truth. Buying a home in our new and brave world is just another way for the rich to maximize their profits on you. Housing should be one of your basic rights in an enlightened society. In such a company, if you do not have the option to purchase your own home, the government offers you free housing for the rest of your life. It certainly does not give the bank any legal right to foreclose on your home for a debt and throw you into the street. In this article we will see how easy and cheap it is to build a beautiful house in a surprising variety of construction methods, from the simplest and oldest to the most up-to-date and sophisticated.

It is always worth learning from those who have done so. It turns out, there are also clean cities in the world, which are exemplary of sustainability and they teach us about the wonderful potential of the human race to grow as an enlightened society. Such a society not only does not destroy nature but cultivates it. It turns the city itself into a forest.

It is hard to believe that one ordinary person can have a great impact on society as a whole. Unfortunately, this is usually true - the community is stronger than the individual and keeps him from deviating from the 'grass height' of the 'meanest average' and the 'silent majority'. But every now and then, someone shows up to prove the opposite - one person can inspire and generate a big social movement that will make waves. Of course, this person must be determined, brave and persevere in the task he has undertaken ... 'against all odds';

One of the wonderful topics that touches deep in my heart is the topic of ‘restoration’ or ‘rehabilitation’. In English it sounds more exotic - RESTORATION. Anything that has been destroyed, worn out, or lost its beauty over time and circumstances, can be restored to its original glory, and with creativity and good will, one can even ... improve it to a new degree of perfection! To our bond, we can rehabilitate and renew all the forests we have leased for two hundred years without mercy and restore the soil to its fertility. We can clean the rivers and seas and purify the air we breathe. We can return en masse the nearly extinct fish, and other species on the verge of extinction. We can heal the world!

There is a ridiculous, unimaginable and unforgivable gap between the sophisticated technology we have developed and the fact that hundreds of millions of people still suffer and die from things that are very easy to prevent, such as hunger, polluted water, lack of housing, etc. - simply, basic needs. Not to wait for the dysfunctional governments of many of the countries, all these problems can be solved if we adopt for them the principles of 'Gandhi engineering' - relatively simple, very cheap means, some of which are zero, very easy to produce.

Laughter frees you from patterns of perception and thinking - it shows you a different angle on reality and thus helps you escape from the prison of the routine and the obvious. It makes you more powerful because it frees you from the 'conventions' that your mind is bound to.

The Buddha says that if you want to remain loving you must turn your love into compassion. It is a deep awareness of the sorrow and suffering in reality, in every existence on earth, but also an agreement to love what is there. In this way, your pain is transformed into a unique sweetness.

אנשים רבים יוכיחו לך מדעית שהצחוק יפה לבריאות, ממש כפי שיוכיחו לך שאמונה באלהים יפה לבריאות. מן הסתם, הם מניחים שהבריאות היא ערך עליון. די להוכיח איך משהו משרת אותה כדי להפוך אותו חיוני לחייך. אני למשל חושב, שהבריאות אינה ערך עליון. היא אמורה לשרת ערכים אחרים, שהם הרבה יותר גבוהים ממנה. כאשר אתה מהפך את הסדר הזה, כאשר אתה רציני במקום הלא נכון... אתה נהיה מגוחך. הייתי אומר שהבריאות יפה לאהבה, לחכמה, ולכל דבר אחר, שיש בו להפוך את חיינו... יפים יותר. לעצמה, הבריאות אינה יכולה לשמש ערך בלתי תלוי. היא רק תנאי להגשמתם של ערכים אחרים, גבוהים ממנה. הצחוק לא רק משחרר כל מיני אנדרופינים במוח שלך, שגורמים לך תענוג המסייע לבריאות שלך. באמת, שהצחקתם אותי. אמנם, זה חשוב אבל רחוק מלספק את הצורך במשמעות לחייך. אלו המאמינים בבריאות כערך עליון גם מאמינים בהישרדות כערך עליון, וכאן דרכינו נחלקות לגמרי. על פי סולם הערכים שלי, הצחוק חשוב כי הוא משחרר אותך מדפוסי תפיסה וחשיבה – הוא מראה לך זווית אחרת על המציאות וכך מסייע לך לברוח מהכלא של השגרתי, המובן מאליו והמוסכם על הכל. הוא הופך אותך עוצמתי יותר כי הוא הופך אותך חופשי יותר מה'מוסכמות' שהמוח שלך כבול אליהן. הצחוק דורש כח אבחנה. הוא מזהה פערים תמוהים בין הכוונה למעשה, בין הגלוי לעין למתחולל מאחורי הקלעים. הוא רגיש לדיסונס קוגנטיבי שנוצר כאשר אתה פוגש בשני רעיונות סותרים שנדחקים יחד וכל אחד מנסה לשכנע אותך שהוא, ורק הוא, האמת הבלעדית. שניהם יחד יוצרים פרדוקס הסודק את המציאות שקודם לכן חשבת שהיא 'פשוטה' ואין להרהר אחריה. וכך יוצא, שהצחוק עושה אותך בהתחלה מהורהר בנפשך ובמהרה, מוצא דרך להפוך אותך... מעורער בנפשך. אך האם אתה הוא המשוגע או המציאות? הטיפש רואה את הפשט. המציאות שלו מאוחדת כי הוא לא רגיש לצללים החמקמקים המרמזים שיש מאחוריה 'מציאות נסתרת' ואולי אפילו מספר רב של רבדים סמויים. החכם רואה שהאחדות של המציאות היא מדומה. למעשה, מדובר במציאות מפוצלת שאוהבת את משחקי המסכות, בין השאר כי יש כאלו האורבים בחשיכה לטרף. הצחוק הוא דרך לפוגג את הסכנה בעודך מצביע עליה... בצורה עקיפה. אם היית תמים, לא היית צוחק. אבל אם אתה חכם, אתה מגיב על מציאות מפוצלת בפיצול אישיות דומה. גם אתה הופך להיות חמקמק ומלא רמזים. כעת, החכמה שלך 'מטורפת'. זאת הדרך הטובה ביותר לדבר אל אנשים החיים במציאות מטורפת. כמובן, רבים לא יבינו את החכמה שלך. אך היא לא מיועדת לרבים בכל מקרה. היא מיועדת לאלו כמוך, שמסוגלים לזהות את הרב ממדיות והאשליה של המציאות ואת מסך הערפל של המוסכמות החברתיות.
