I Had It All the Time: When Self-Improvement Gives Way to Ecstasy

Great Book! A nice diversion from the self-help norm.
I found this book by Alan Cohen much better and different in style than anything written by Wayne Dyer (who is very good) if that helps put my review into perspective. Refreshing, insightful, and uplifting yet down to earth in a spiritual way (which is what are all doing of course).

DO NOT READ THIS BOOK...
...if you wish to stay the same because believe me, once you read it, you never will be. I got this book when I was about 26-27 years old when I felt as though I was just passing through life and not really living it. I felt like everything was "ho-hum". All of my senses were set to dull. Inside of me there was just this gnawing ache that there has got to be something more...not just "out ...

Not-A-Romance-But-A-Love-Story
Images of Ecstasy is a not too brief, but could of definitely lasted a few more chapters, amazingly take-your-breath-away love story. Like a highly-rated rollercoaster, "Images" gradually gains speed, drops down deeply into murder, creeps along carefully with mystery, pinnacles straight up with some sensual and sizzling romance and expertly twists you with several over and under turns of several ...

An informative find for any researcher of 2012
I found this book to be very informative in my quest for understanding the 2012 enigma. I've been studying this for quite some time and found this source to be an impeccable guide to understanding this prophetic date; this opus of 2012 covers a myriad of topics ranging from the calendar of the Maya to Christian correlations of 2012 to the scientific understanding of our Earth/Sun connection. I ...

Bitter Truths of Personal Failure, Pornography, and Alcoholism
Born in 1924, Wood was a highly decorated WWII Marine with an itch to wear women's clothes, make movies, and drink to excess. During his lifetime he would be notorious for transvestitism and alcoholism; he would also be involved in some twenty films, all of them cheaply made, all of them remarkable for their ludicrous incompetence. At the time of his 1978 death he was a raving drunk scratching ...

Excellent "history" book on the rave scene!
Excellent, informative history of the rave scene in England... everything is in here: how influential Ibiza was to the scene, MDMA and its history, smiley faces, baggy pants, all the main players and djs... it brought back a lot of happy memories of my raver days in NYC in the early 90s. A must read for those interested in this scene especially the beginning which shows that it all started ...

Shades of Meaning
Consider the varieties of verity: there is the naked truth, the whole truth (and its halves...and have-nots), the unvarnished truth, the awful truth,the real truth (whatever that is)...and the nothing-but-the-truth. Then consider "Ecstasy," whose truth is neither light nor dark. Call it, perhaps, the dappled truth. The kind that lingers in the long shadows of an eternal Sunday afternoon. A ...

This book changed my life.
Awake in the Heartland changed my life. I had been practicing Buddhism for 20 years but never understood that the mirage character (what I call 'me') was not the one to wake up. Also that the path is not about trying harder, as most religions encourage, but about relaxing into what is. It gave me completely new insights as to the way to work. I bought two of the books--one as a loaner--as ...

I'd give it six stars if I could.
M. Iam seriously addresses intimacy issues and provides a step-by-step deep relationship-nourishing format that begins with the art of exploring the pleasures of the Kama sutra from the vantage point of the couple's balanced physical, mental and emotional energy. In addition to initiating and maintaining the purely sensual aspects of love-making. Everyone should read this book. I have read a ...

Grit, Tears, Guts - War Remembrance From A Guy Who Was There
In "Dear Captain, et al." an ex-sergeant tells us the story of his company during the final year of World War II in Northern Europe. This story of war is compelling because it is told by an eyewitness who complements his own remarkable and unflinching memory with documents from official sources, making a narrative which is by turns as intimate as a conversation with an uncle and as far ranging ...

There Is Some Kiss We Want
Coleman Barks once again translates the words of Rumi with respect, good nature, a bit of humor, and a deep understanding of this 13th century mystic and poet. A renowned poet and something of a mystic himself, Coleman Barks leads us through his book as a constant and caring companion. He begins each chapter with his own touching stories, guidance, and expert explanations for the material he ...

Of Time and Water - an Ecology of Spirit
We in the West have at least a nodding acquaintance with the coded language of various mythic traditions - the Greco-Roman, the Norse, the Celtic - but here is something unique. It is a centuries-old story to live by - an ecology of the spirit - told by an ancient people, recorded and interpreted by Martin Prechtel. Prechtel gathered the Story over years of living among the Tzutujil Maya in ...

Origins of the Sacred: The Ecstasies of Love and War

Out of the Garden of Eden . . .
To many people Mr. Young's thesis will seem to be outlandish. Yet, he is the one author I know of who actually tries to seek out the origins of religion using modern research into chimpanzee behavior. I wonder what Jane Goodall thinks of it? First there was Freud's Totem and Taboo, a mere root to Young's amazing tree. As he writes, " . . . the Darwinian-Freudian-Foxian root-stock on to which ...

Timothy Mulder, 2008
"Powerful Stuff"
I found myself reading 'Lifted' with both hands holding on tight to my Kindle while perched precariously on the edge of my seat. This chapter of Timothy Mulder's memoir dealt with his experiences with drugs, one drug in particular and the effects this had on him both mentally and physically. It also describes how he came in touch with his inner psyche. I felt this section was well written. It ...

Socially, politically and spiritually neccessary
This book examines objectively the use of MDMA ("Ecstasy," "mole") in the US and Europe. Saunders reviews many aspects of the drug and its culture (eg his personal experience, history, psychological dangers, social effects, safety, psychotherapy and much more). While the majority of readers probably use the drug or are thinking about using, non-users should read this work as well (it was ...

An Absolute MUST READ for all Serious Competitive Obedience Students!
Willard Bailey's first book, Remembering to Breathe, saved me from what would have been one of the worst mistakes of my life--abandoning obedience training with my dog, Katie, after our initial unfortunate training with a force trainer. Katie shut down after those training sessions and with her attitude the way it was, I didn't want to impose further harsh training protocols upon her. Willard's ...
