The Upaniṣads are an integral part of Vedas, they represent a branch of the primordial Tradition and constitute the essence of Vedanta itself. The expression Vedanta (end of the Vedas) should be, understood in the double meaning of 'conclusion', as the Upaniṣads are the last part of the Vedic texts, and of 'purpose,' because what is being, taught is the ultimate goal of Traditional Knowledge.

The Dṛgdṛśyaviveka, which is attributed to ŚAṄKARA, invites us to discern (viveka) between Real and non-real, between the ātman (Self), the "Seer," and the non-ātman (non-Self), the "seen," between Infinite and finite, between Life and death. The human being's greatest conflicts stem from attachment to and identification with the non-ātman, with the finite. Knowledge, on the other hand, leads to the unveiling of sat, True Existence.

In The X-Files and Philosophy, thirty-six fearless philosophers seek for the truth which is out there, in here, at least somewhere, or (as the postmodernists claim) nowhere. One big issue is whether the weird and unexplained happenings, including the existence of entities unknown to traditional science, might really exist. And if they did, what would be the proper way to behave towards them? Some of these entities seem to flout conventional laws of...

This is a collection of essays that gathers the voices of both reputed veteran and young cartomancers.
The book captures the heart of cartomancy through 21+1 snappy rules, delivered with martial arts aplomb in the form of manifestos.
While each fortuneteller imparts his and her deep wisdom about what works and what doesn't in any cartomantic session, the idea is to go beyond the flashy, the verbose, and the dictatorial, and rather suggest instead...

Telepathy, clairvoyance, ESP... in these ten chapters, leading parapsychologists and philosophers explore experiences that challenge the modern scientific worldview-a worldview that has brought us to a state of planetary crisis. It is imperative that our thinking about perception and experience be outside the box-in this case, outside the Western commitment to a materialistic, mechanistic, atheistic metaphysics.
