Anthony De Mello - Böcker

Bli medveten I vårt samhälle är det en utmaning att bli medveten om sig själv, om hur man påverkas, om vad som egentligen är viktigt i livet. Denna bok är en inspiration på vägen. Anthony de Mello behandlar universella frågor som förändring, lycka, lidande och förlust. Han ger råd om hur man hanterar kärlek, ilska och rädsla. Genom hela texten löper de Mellos anekdoter och historier tillsammans med råd och övningar till själv­hjälp. Här möts kristen andlighet och buddistiska liknelser, hinduiska andningsövningar och psykologisk insikt. Anthony de Mello var jesuitpräst, känd över hela världen för sina böcker, retreater och andliga konferenser. Som författare till Sadhana blev han internationellt känd som en av de största andliga ledarna i vår tid. På svenska finns även "Fågelns Sång".

“Wisdom from one of the greatest spiritual masters of our time.”—James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage The heart of Anthony de Mello's bestselling spiritual message is awareness. Mixing Christian spirituality, Buddhist parables, Hindu breathing exercises, and psychological insight, de Mello's words of hope come together in Awareness in a grand synthesis.In short chapters for reading in quiet moments at home or at the office, he cajoles and challenges: We must leave this go-go-go world of illusion and become aware. And this only happens, he insists, by becoming alive to the needs and potential of others, whether at home or in the workplace.Here, then, is a masterful book of the spirit, challenging us to wake up in every aspect of our lives.

Never before published in English, this is a step-by-step exercise book integrating the Christian tradition of contemplation and the Eastern wisdom of meditation. Fr. de Mello's stories and spiritual guidance are provocative, filled with humor, and grounded in everyday experiences.

The question Anthony De Mello's STOP FIXING YOURSELF poses and successfully answers is: Can you attain enlightenment without the slightest effort on your part? Spiritual seekers exhausted from years of fruitless striving might well sigh deeply and think, “If only that were true.” Well, Anthony De Mello asserts it is true. STOP FIXING YOURSELF provides the simple path to living an enlightened life. De Mello tells us that if you are watchful and awake, all that is false and neurotic within you will drop away and you will begin to live increasingly from moment to moment in a life made whole and happy and transparent through awareness. Awareness transforms you from a seeker to a finder, opening your eyes to the reality of the love, peace, and beauty that has always surrounded you. Awareness will set you free. In STOP FIXING YOURSELF, De Mello's down-to-earth teaching method helps you discover true awareness, releasing the divinity all around you and making your life meaningful, beautiful, and prosperous.

If peace, love, and happiness are our natural states, why aren't we experiencing it? As we have grown as a people, as a society, even as individuals, we have also grown further away from that which is at our core. But it is not lost. The fountainhead of serenity and joy hides in every human heart. It is there for any to embrace who choose to search for it. Call it God, call it grace—call it understanding, hope, or love. The answer to life's troubles, the mind's chaotic thoughts, and the heart's heavy burden is within our grasp.
