Presence, Volume I - Rupert Spira
Your self, aware presence, knows no resistance to any appearance and, as such, is happiness itself; like the empty space of a room, it cannot be disturbed and is, therefore, peace itself; like this page, it is intimately one with whatever appears on it and is thus love itself; and like water that is not affected by the shape of a wave, it is pure freedom. Causeless joy, imperturbable peace, love that knows no opposite, and freedom at the heart of all experience...this is your ever-present nature under all circumstances.Our self, aware presence, knows no resistance to any appearance and, as such, is happiness itself; like the empty space of a room, it cannot be disturbed and is, therefore, peace itself; like this page, it is intimately one with whatever appears on it and is thus love itself; and like water that is not affected by the shape of a wave, it is pure freedom.

You Are the Happiness You Seek - Rupert Spira
How may we find happiness and peace?In this book, Rupert Spira distils the message of all the great religious and spiritual traditions into two essential truths: happiness is the very nature of our self or being, and we share our being with everyone and everything.Drawing on numerous examples from his own experience, Spira demonstrates that to seek lasting happiness through objects, situations and relationships is destined for failure and disappointment, and skilfully guides the reader to recognise that we are already the happiness we seek.This book is for anyone who yearns for lasting happiness and is open to the possibility that it is continuously available within ourselves, irrespective of our circumstances.Could there be any greater discovery in life than to know that we are already that for which we long?''Rupert Spira''s articulate and very intimate style of teaching is truly transformational. I''ve read and treasure all of his books.'' - Rhonda Byrne, author of The Secret and The Greatest Secret''Let Rupert Spira, one of the finest teachers of the present time, gently guide you home to your innate peace and happiness.'' - Peter Russell, author of Letting Go of Nothing''I''ve gained deeper understanding listening to Rupert Spira than I have ...

A Meditation on I Am - Rupert Spira
"Rupert Spira is one of the great souls. Read his books, and be clarified."-Coleman Barks, translator of Rumi, including Soul FuryA contemplative poem about the intimate, impersonal, infinite nature of being.In A Meditation on I Am, Rupert Spira contemplates the essential nature of our self before it has been conditioned or qualified by the content of experience. It is a poem, a prayer and a hymn of praise to the simple fact of being that is the source of the peace and happiness for which we long above all else.For seasoned spiritual seekers and newcomers alike, this meditative poem explores and celebrates the truth of what we essentially are: the awareness of being that shines in each of our minds as the knowledge "I am," which is temporarily coloured by experience but is never modified, changed or harmed by it.

The Heart of Prayer - Rupert Spira
In The Heart of Prayer, Rupert Spira elaborates on the understanding that the peace and happiness we seek can be found in the knowing of our own being. Drawing on the wisdom of Being Aware of Being Aware and Being Myself, this new volume explores another essential aspect of meditation-that which is known as union with God and traditionally approached through prayer. The belief shared by most people that we are a separate person, a tiny part of a vast world, leads us to project the idea of God beyond the world, at an infinite distance from ourselves. As this person, we enter into a devotional relationship with God, we surrender to God. When, through an understanding of our self as unlimited, intimate being, God''s being, the sole reality of all that is, we see that we are not separate from God. Our longing for God is found to be God''s longing for us. The meditations in this volume are followed by dialogues in which analogies and practical examples help to clarify the teaching. Throughout The Heart of Prayer, Spira interlaces his contemplations with his own invocations-as well as teachings, prayers, and poetry gathered from centuries of great works and ...

Průhlednost věcí - Rupert Spira
Co je „já“? Co je „druhý“, co je „svět“? Kdo je onen „prožívající“, který, jak se zdá, spojuje oba póly dohromady? Co je podstatou zkušenosti neboli pro-žitku, který právě teď, v tomto okamžiku, zažíváme? Rozpoznání naší pravé podstaty nevyžaduje náročné studium duchovních textů a léta meditačních praktik. Vyžaduje pouze ochotu zapojit se do ne-kompromisního a upřímného zkoumání povahy samotného uvědomění, do hledání toho, čím skutečně jsme. Rupert Spira v knize Průhlednost věcí nejenže vystihuje podstatu tohoto výzkumu slovy každodenního jazyka, ale činí tak bez odkazu na jakékoli meta-fyzické nebo ezoterické doktríny. Vybízí nás, abychom se pustili do osobního zkoumání toho, co to znamená být vědomý, a dovolává se přitom jen naší přímé zkušenosti. Pokud využijeme jeho pozvánky a pustíme se do zkoumání své vlastní zkušenosti, zjistíme, že zažíváme poznání, jemuž se probuzené bytosti těší již celé věky. Průhlednost věcí je sbírkou kontemplativních esejí, jejímž účelem je podívat se jasně a jednoduše na povahu zkušenosti, aniž bychom se ji pokoušeli změnit. Jemně, ale přímo nás vede k poznání, že naší esenciální podstatou není ani tělo, ani mysl, nýbrž vědomá Přítomnost uvědomující si v každém okamžiku naši současnou zkušenost. Ačkoli na sebe bere podobu této zkušenosti, vždy zůstává sama sebou.

Being Aware of Being Aware - Rupert Spira
Everybody is aware, all seven billion of us. We are aware of thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions. All people share the experience of being aware, but relatively few people are aware that they are aware. Most people''s lives consist of a flow of thoughts, images, ideas, feelings, sensations, sights, sounds, and so on. Very few people ask, "What is it that knows this flow of thoughts, feelings, and perceptions? With what am I aware of my experience?"The knowing of our being-or rather, awareness''s knowing of its own being in us-is our primary experience, our most fundamental and intimate experience. It is in this experience that all the peace, happiness, and love we have ever longed for reside. The happiness we have sought for so long outside of ourselves, in situations, objects, and relationships, turns out to be always present, always available, in the simple knowing of our own being as it is. The knowing of our own being shines in each one of us as the experience "I am" or "I am aware," or simply as the thought "I." Because this simplest, most obvious, most familiar, and intimate experience is to the mind not a thing, or nothing, it is ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Being Myself - Rupert Spira
Being Myself is a contemplative exploration of the essential nature of our self.Everyone has the sense of ''being myself,'' but not everyone knows their self clearly. In most cases, our sense of self is mixed up with the content of experience and, as a result, its natural condition of peace and happiness is veiled. Through investigation and analogy, the meditations in this collection take us back to our true nature again and again, until we begin to find our self naturally and effortlessly established there, as that. In time, experience loses its capacity to veil our being, and its innate peace and joy emerge from the background of experience.* * *The Essence of Meditation Series presents meditations on the essential, non-dual understanding that lies at the heart of all the great religious and spiritual traditions, compiled from contemplations led by Rupert Spira at his meetings and retreats. This simple, contemplative approach, which encourages a clear seeing of one''s experience rather than any kind of effort or discipline, leads the reader to an experiential understanding of their own essential being and the peace and fulfilment that are inherent within it.

Transparency of Things - Rupert Spira
The purpose of The Transparency of Things is to look clearly and simply at the nature of experience, without any attempt to change it. A series of contemplations leads us gently but directly to see that our essential nature is neither a body nor a mind. It is the conscious Presence that is aware of this current experience. As such, it is nothing that can be experienced as an object, and yet it is undeniably present. However, these contemplations go much further than this. As we take our stand knowingly as this conscious Presence that we always already are, and reconsider the objects of the body, mind, and world, we find that they do not simply appear to this Presence; they appear within it. And further exploration reveals that they do not simply appear within this Presence but as this Presence. Finally, we are led to see that it is in fact this very Presence that takes the shape of our experience from moment to moment while always remaining only itself. We see that our experience is and has only ever been one seamless totality, with no separate entities, objects, or parts anywhere to be found.

Red Carpets And Other Banana Skins - Rupert Everett
''Hilariously honest. . . a kind of rake''s progress'' Daily MailAn element of drama has always attended Rupert Everett, even before he swept to fame with his outstanding performance in ''Another Country''. He has spent his life surrounded by extraordinary people, and witnessed extraordinary events. He was in Moscow during the fall of communism; in Berlin the night the wall came down; and in downtown Manhattan on September 11th. By the age of 17 he was friends with Andy Warhol and Bianca Jagger, and since then he has been up close and personal with some of the most famous women in the world: Julia Roberts, Madonna, Sharon Stone and Donatella Versace. Whether sweeping the floor for the Royal Shakespeare Company or co-starring with Faye Dunaway and an orang-utan in ''Dunstan Checks In'' (they both took ages to get ready), Rupert Everett always brings as much energy and talent to his life as he does to his career.

Mylné domněnky vědy - Rupert Sheldrake
Nejmylnější domněnkou vědy je názor, že věda již pochopila podstatu reality - že základní otázky jsou už zodpovězeny a nyní zbývá pouze dořešit detaily. V této knize vám Rupert Sheldrake, jenden z nejvíce průkopnických vědců současnosti, názorně ukáže, že věda je spoutaná domněnkami, které se změnily v dogmata. "Vědecký pohled na svět" se stal souborem pouhých domněnek a vírou. Veškerá realita je podle něj hmotná či fyzikální a svět je strojem, jenž je tvořen neživou hmotou. Příroda dle tohoto pohledu postrádá jakýkoli smysl a vědomí není ničím víc, než pouhou fyzickou aktivitou mozku. Svobodná vůle je iluzí a bůh existuje jenom jako představa v lidské mysli, uvězněn v naší lebce. Rupert Sheldrake vědecky prozkoumává tato dogmata a předkládá přesvědčivé důkazy, že vědě by se dařilo lépe bez nich - byla by svobodnější, zajímavější a zábavnější.

Rupert Kytka - Lukáš Bártl
Dosud málo známý a nezaslouženě zapomenutý výtvarný fotograf Rupert Kytka (1910-1993) patří do generace umělců spjatých s meziválečným amatérským hnutím. Nejvýznamnější práce ovšem vytvořil až v šedesátých letech jako zakládající člen olomoucké skupiny DOFO, prvního poválečného československého fotografického sdružení (vzniklo roku 1959), k jejímuž věhlasu přispěli později například Ivo Přeček a Vilém Reichmann. Z této doby vynikají zejména Kytkovy snímky v duchu poezie všedního dne (se styčnými plochami s tradicí surrealismu a imaginativního umění) a fotografie blížící se svým výrazem umění op-artu či informelu (mj. skleněné struktury). K jeho vrcholným snímkům patří zátiší v exteriéru i interiéru, často citlivě zobrazující odhozené a různě destruované předměty. Fotografickou dráhu pak Rupert Kytka zakončil výjimečným souborem Dobrá země (1969-1979), kdy zejména v detailech opět prokázal schopnost mistrovsky rytmizovat námět. Zhodnotil tak zároveň celoživotní zájem o fotografii horské krajiny. Reprezentativní výběr (téměř padesát kvalitních reprodukcí) z Kytkova neokázalého, ale dnes již klasického díla je uveden průkopnickou studií Lukáše Bártla a uzavřen soupisem výstav umělce.

The Science Delusion: Freeing the Spirit of Enquiry - Rupert Sheldrake
The Science Delusion is the belief that science already understands the nature of reality. The fundamental questions are answered, leaving only the details to be filled in. In this book (published in the US as Science Set Free), Dr Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's most innovative scientists, shows that science is being constricted by assumptions that have hardened into dogmas.The 'scientific worldview' has become a belief system. All reality is material or physical. The world is a machine, made up of dead matter.Nature is purposeless. Consciousness is nothing but the physical activity of the brain. Free will is an illusion.God exists only as an idea in human minds, imprisoned within our skulls. Sheldrake examines these dogmas scientifically, and shows persuasively that science would be better off without them: freer, more interesting, and more fun. In The God Delusion Richard Dawkins used science to bash God, but here Rupert Sheldrake shows that Dawkins' understanding of what science can do is old-fashioned and itself a delusion.

(And everyone else.) Travelling across Europe for the film, he weaves in extraordinary tales from his past, remembering wild times, freak encounters and lost friends. There are celebrities, of course. But we also meet glamorous but doomed Aunt Peta, who introduces Rupert (aged three) to the joys of make-up. In ''90s Paris, his great friend Lychee burns bright, and is gone. While in ''70s London, a ''weirdly tall, beyond size zero'' teenage Rupert is expelled from the Central School of Speech and Drama. Unflinchingly honest and hugely entertaining, To the End of the World offers a unique insight into the ''snakes and ladders'' of filmmaking. It is also a soulful and thought-provoking autobiography from one of our best-loved and most talented actors and writers.

Winds of Doctrine, critical edition, Volume 9 - David E. Spiech, George Santayana
A critical edition of a classic work by the renowned philosopher George Santayana evaluating key movements in American intellectual history.Winds of Doctrine presents six essays by the internationally recognized critic and philosopher George Santayana. The essays, edited by David E. Spiech, Martin A. Coleman, and Faedra Lazar Weiss, and introduced by Paul Forster, address the broad sweep of intellectual trends—or, as the title suggests, the ever-changing winds of thought—of the Spanish-born American thinker’s time. The topics range from the secularization of American culture to the rise of religious modernism to the “genteel tradition” in American philosophy, the subject of Santayana’s final lecture in America and perhaps his best known essay. The original Winds of Doctrine, published in 1913, was the first book published after Santayana’s 1912 departure for Europe. Santayana had felt stifled at Harvard for some time, and his long-contemplated resignation from academia released him from previous obligations and allowed him a new freedom to think and write. Much later, Santayana remarked on the significance of that choice to step away: “In Winds of Doctrine and my subsequent books, a reader of my earlier writings may notice a certain change of climate. . . .

Faithful Presence - Bill Haslam
Two-term governor of Tennessee Bill Haslam reveals how faith--too often divisive and contentious--can be a redemptive and unifying presence in the public square.As a former mayor and governor, Bill Haslam has long been at the center of politics and policy on local, state, and federal levels. And he has consistently been guided by his faith, which influenced his actions on issues ranging from capital punishment to pardons, health care to abortion, welfare to free college tuition. Yet the place of faith in public life has been hotly debated since our nation''s founding, and the relationship of church and state remains contentious to this day--and for good reason. Too often, Bill Haslam argues, Christians end up shaping their faith to fit their politics rather than forming their politics to their faith. They seem to forget their calling is to be used by God in service of others rather than to use God to reach their own desires and ends.Faithful Presence calls for a different way. Drawing upon his years of public service, Haslam casts a remarkable vision for the redemptive role of faith in politics while examining some of the most complex issues of our time, including:partisanship in our divided era;the ...

Proč se zajímat o klimatický rozvrat - Rupert Read
Britský filosof Rupert Read tematizuje jako nejnaléhavější problém dneška změnu klimatu a ohrožení naší planety. Jestliže skutečně rychle směřujeme k zániku naší civilizace v podobě, jak ji dosud známe, nesmíme podle Reada před celoplanetární krizí zavírat oči, naopak si musíme uvědomit, jak neudržitelná je současná (klimatická) politika. Civilizace však ještě není ztracená, naději na její transformaci autor spatřuje v realistickém, lokálním a komunálním klimatickém aktivismu.

Amorous or Loving? - Sir Rupert Gavin
How did a marginal dialect spoken in the late ninth century by 200,000 people become the world’s language spoken by 1.6 billion people today?In Amorous or Loving? – The Highly Peculiar Tale of English and the English, Sir Rupert Gavin charts the unique evolution of our language into the resulting hodge-podge that is now the lingua franca of the world. He argues that English is ideal as the global language, not just by accident of history, but by fundamental construction and constitution. Further, he examines how all of this was determined not just by our unique language, but also our geography, our weather, our religion, the extraordinary status of London, and by a handful of inspirational figures – some well-known and some hardly known today at all.

The Eclipse of Christianity - Rupert Shortt
A call for Christianity to recover its confidence The mainstream Churches are faltering - or even at risk of dying out - in their Western and Middle Eastern heartlands. Surveys confirm that only a minority of people in a country such as Britain now claim Christian allegiance. The pattern is being matched in neighbouring societies. At the same time many opinion formers preach secularist ideology with a self-confidence shading into dogmatism. Others, unsure of their moorings, feel some residual attachment to spirituality, while being sceptical about the existence of God and other articles of belief. Yet church teaching remains intellectually robust, as well as inspiring a transformative global presence. In this major and wide-ranging international study - both a report on the unsettling consequences of secularisation and a defence of a creed too often belittled by its opponents - Rupert Shortt outlines Christianity's fading profile in the present, but also argues compellingly that Europe's historic faith remains critical to the survival of a humane culture.

Popa''Cool and controlled...Electrifying...Reading Rupert Thomson novels can easily become an obsession'' The Times--------Set on the eve of the financial crash of 2008, Barcelona Dreaming is made up of three stories that are linked by time and place, and also by the moving, unexpected interactions of a rich cast of characters.The stories are narrated, in turn, by an English woman who runs a gift shop, an alcoholic jazz pianist, and a translator tormented by unrequited love, all of whose lives will be changed forever. Underpinning the novel, and casting a long shadow, is a crime committed against a young Moroccan immigrant.Exploring themes of addiction, racism, celebrity, immigration, and self-delusion, and fuelled by a longing for the unattainable and a nostalgia for what is about to be lost, Barcelona Dreaming is a love letter to one of the world''s most beautiful cities and a powerful and poignant fable for our uncertain times.

The Hardest Problem - Rupert Shortt
To many, the problem of evil and suffering constitutes by far the most serious objection to mainstream religious belief. For all its starkness and salience, though, the dilemma is also widely misinterpreted. That visceral feelings often dominate discussion is understandable on one level. But this can displace the clearer-headed thinking needed to shed greater light on the subject. In this brief but broad-ranging book, Rupert Shortt shows that belief in a divine Creator is much more coherent intellectually than many sceptics suppose. Basic misconceptions about core aspects of Judaism, Christianity and Islam can in turn spawn still greater caricatures of subjects including divine power. Having cleared the ground, Shortt goes on to discuss the nature of evil from a classical Abrahamic standpoint and how Christian resources in particular offer guidance in an area where raw emotion, conceptual thought and the deepest trials of the spirit overlap. If the dilemma has no clear solution, that need not discredit sensitive and creative ways of grappling with it.The Hardest Problem is an accessible contemporary reflection on the perennial question of human suffering.

Price Wars - Rupert Russell
War in Ukraine, a global hunger crisis, the West''s cost of living crisis - the eruptions of 2022 were all too predictable. In Price Wars, Rupert Russell lays out just how these crises are connected and how many such events plunged the 2010s into a decade of turmoil. Entering the eye of the storm - from the trenches of Russian separatist-controlled Donbas to bomb disposal squads in Mosul to cattle raiders in Kenya - Russell discovers a butterfly effect of chaos in the real world being driven by chaos in the commodities markets. The price of food and oil has the power to bankroll foreign invasions, plunge continents into poverty and spark revolutions, civil wars and refugee crises. And these prices, whistle-blowing hedge fund managers and Nobel Prize winners told him, have become irrational. In this thrilling exposé of the dark financial forces that rule our world, Russell takes us on adventure into the inner workings of global disorder unlike any other.

Diaghilev's Empire - Rupert Christiansen
Serge Diaghilev was the Russian impresario who is often said to have invented the modern art form of ballet. Commissioning such legendary names as Nijinsky, Fokine, Stravinsky, and Picasso, this intriguingly complex genius produced a series of radically original art works that had a revolutionary impact throughout the western world.Off stage and in its wake came scandal and sensation, as the great artists and mercurial performers involved variously collaborated, clashed, competed while falling in and out of love with each other on a wild carousel of sexual intrigue and temperamental mayhem. The Ballets Russes not only left a matchless artistic legacy – they changed style and glamour, they changed taste, and they changed social behaviour.The Ballets Russes came to an official end after many vicissitudes with Diaghilev’s abrupt death in 1929. But the achievements of its heroic prime had established a paradigm that would continue to define the terms and set the standards for the next. Published to mark the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Diaghilev''s birth, Rupert Christiansen - leading critic and self-confessed ‘incurable balletomane’ - presents this freshly researched and challenging reassessment of a unique phenomenon, exploring passionate conflicts and outsize personalities in a story embracing triumph and ...

The Theory of Educational Technology - Louis Major, Rupert Wegerif
Educational technology is controversial – some see it as essential to providing free global learning, others view it as a dangerous distraction that undermines good education. In both instances, most theories that have previously been applied to educational technology do not account for the distinctive nature and vast potential of technology. This book addresses this issue, exploring how education has been bound up with technology from the beginning, and recognising that educational aims have already been shaped by technologies. Offering a ‘dialogic’ theory of educational technology, Rupert Wegerif and Louis Major respond to contemporary challenges to education within this book, including, but not limited to, climate change, misinformation on the internet and the impact of Artificial Intelligence.Chapters introduce, discuss, and contextualise key theories and illustrate through case studies their uses within a diverse range of educational contexts, spanning from primary education to adult lifelong learning. Each chapter also concludes with a short summary, demonstrating how these theories translate to practical implications for design.A fascinating response to current developments in educational technology, this is a crucial read for all involved in creating, researching or making decisions about the use of technologies within educational contexts.
