Rumi: The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing

The Sufi mystic and poet Jalaluddin Rumi is most beloved for his poems expressing the ecstasies and mysteries of love in all its forms-erotic, platonic, divine-and Coleman Barks presents the best of them in this delightful and inspiring collection. Rendered with freshness, intensity, and beauty as Barks alone can do, these startling and rich poems range from the "wholeness" one experiences with a true lover, to the grief of a lover's loss, and all the states in between: from the madness of sudden love to the shifting of a romance to deep friendship to the immersion in divine love. Rumi, the ultimate poet of love, explores all "the magnificent regions of the heart," and he opens you to the lover within. Coleman Barks has made this medieval, Persian-born (present-day Afghanistan) poetic and spiritual genius the most popular poet in America today. This seductive volume reveals Rumi's charms and depths more than any other.

The Chandian Effect: Explaining the Modus Operandi Behind Near-Death Experiences, Religious Visions, and Other Paranormal Projections , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 55min

The Chandian Effect describes subjective visionary manifestations in which a devotee has a transpersonal encounter involving a sacred figure or form, of which the object of devotion is unaware. The term was first coined by David C. Lane, and so called because Faqir Chand was the first Sant Mat guru to speak at length about the unknowing aspects of such encounters. The effect designates two major factors in these manifestations: The overwhelming experience of certainty that is associated with religious ecstasies. The subjective projection of sacred forms by a meditator or devotee without the conscious knowledge of the object beheld as the center of the experience. Faqir Chand revealed that all gurus are ignorant about the real cause of the visions and miracles attributed to them, and that because of this ignorance, the gurus gained power and devotion from followers that accredited omnipresence and omniscience to them even though these gurus possessed neither. ungekürzt.

Eucharistic Miracles: And Eucharistic Phenomena in the Lives of the Saints , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 453min

On many occasions throughout the history of the Catholic Church, God has provided visible proof of the invisible reality of the real presence of Jesus Christ in the holy eucharist.In her book, Eucharistic Miracles, Joan Carroll Cruz documents 36 such miracles which occurred from 800 AD to the present day.

It details the official investigations that have been made into these miracles by scientists throughout the world, and where some can still be venerated today. Finally, it also recounts miraculous eucharistic phenomena in the lives of saints: saints who lived with only the eucharist for sustenance, received communication miraculously, or experienced raptures, ecstasies, levitations, visions, locutions, and more.Eucharistic Miracles is a superb compilation of God's visible testimony of the truth of the Catholic faith, proving the reality of one of its loftiest mysteries - the real presence of Jesus Christ in the holy eucharist. ungekürzt.

The Story of the Jews: Finding the Words, 1000 BCE - 1492 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1268min

It is a story like no other: an epic of endurance against destruction, of creativity in oppression, joy amidst grief, the affirmation of life against the steepest of odds. It spans the millennia and the continents - from India to Andalusia and from the bazaars of Cairo to the streets of Oxford. It takes you to unimagined places: to a Jewish kingdom in the mountains of southern Arabia; a Syrian synagogue glowing with radiant wall paintings; the palm groves of the Jewish dead in the Roman catacombs. And its voices ring loud and clear, from the severities and ecstasies of the Bible writers to the love poems of wine bibbers in a garden in Muslim Spain. And a great story unfolds. Not - as often imagined - of a culture apart, but of a Jewish world immersed in and imprinted by the peoples among whom they have dwelled, from the Egyptians to the Greeks, from the Arabs to the Christians. Which makes the story of the Jews everyone's story, too. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrew Sachs, Saul Reichlin.

A Simpler Time, A Simpler Place: Three Mid-Century Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 212min

Ellen sat waiting in the Buick while Fr. Dean Finn checked in at the motel office. He always registered them as Mr. and Mrs. George Adams of Syracuse, New York. There was no objection to a couple without luggage taking a room for a couple of hours at the Hit-the-Sack. The desk clerk, a poorly-shaven, perpetually smirking man of 35 lewd years, had managed, in the midst of an ambiance of sexuality which should have inoculated him against disgust, to cultivate a urinal of a mind. People came to his office thinking of their affair as a matter of love or fun or nature or bawdry or even mystical oneness. The desk clerk never allowed these patrons to raise him to their level of innocence. Rather, he saw to it that their ecstasies were not unashamed. His grin evoked for them the puritanism of their parents, the prurience of the adolescent gang, the hellfire of the preachers, the chancres of sex hygiene movies, the self-consciousness of the stag party. Finn hated the man; he was always tempted to sprinkle holy water on him. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gerald Locklin.

Saint Agnes of Montepulciano: Visions of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min

During one of Catherine of Siena's ecstasies, she exclaimed, referring to St. Agnes of Montepulciano: "I give you thanks oh my Lord, for showing me the place that will be mine (in Paradise), next to my sister Agnes."Who is this saint (virtually unknown in our country) that a powerful saint and doctor of the Church - Catherine of Siena should say this of her?We're about holy clusters again. God is bringing us to Tuscany, once more - ancient Tuscany, filled with a history of the greatest saints and most deplorable sinners. Agnes, one of the great saints, was born in 1268 in a hamlet three miles from Montepulciano, named Gracciano, in the "Villa di Gracciano Vecchio".A Dominican like Catherine, Agnes died in April 20, 1317, 30 years before Catherine of Siena was born. Again, the Church is in crisis. Again, God sends us powerful men and women saints!Agnes was born into the nobility. At age nine, she would ask permission from her parents to enter a monastery of nuns living a very austere life in Montepulciano. They were called Le Suore del Sacco, Sacchine or Sisters of the Sackcloth, because of the coarse material of which their habits were made. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Fat Sex: The Naked Truth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 579min

If there are two subjects that are universally fascinating and rife with controversy, they are sex and fat. Though our culture is obsessed with both, the two commingling are sometimes seen as offensive, obscene, or even grotesque. Fat people are not viewed as sexual beings. Of course, this perception is far from accurate. Fat people have normal and peculiar sex lives, just like everyone else. A compilation of true stories, cultural references, and narrative commentary, Fat Sex: The Naked Truth tells the honest, and often heroic, heartbreaking, and hilarious experiences of large-size women and men in their romantic, intimate, and sexual relationships. Subjects touched on include heterosexual relationships, gay men and lesbian women, those who have gained and lost a great deal of weight, and the sexual "underground" such as fetishes. Although the people portrayed in Fat Sex: The Naked Truth sometimes face bigotry and experience shame - they are often valiant and live remarkably fulfilling lives. The stories are compelling and told with sensitivity and wit, connecting people on profoundly important aspects of their lives. This book is not just for large-size people. The stories and issues discussed touch all of us - each and every person who has ever experienced the trials and tribulations, as well as the ecstasies, of intimate relationships. ungekürzt.
