Every day we are confronted with hundreds of choices that either make us feel confident and strong or rob us of the things we desire the most. When we lack confidence, we feel unworthy of having what we want, of speaking the truth, of making decisions that improve our lives.

Religion is supposed to be the branch of knowledge that explains God and life's purpose. It’s supposed to be as insightful as biology, geology, or physics. Yet religious affiliation is declining because the old and new age religions fail to offer valuable insights. The Puzzle of Religion isn't another compilation of spiritual anecdotes and clichés, nor is it another history lesson on religion. Instead, Douglas ...

This book is about GOD’S Cosmic Laugh. I can hear GOD laugh every day. No, I'm not delusional. I'm serious. It's not a normal laugh. It's a cosmic laugh.

So, in his wisdom, he created us human beings and gave us a special ability called a MIND. Some people have a wrong notion that GOD gave us a mind so that we could think intelligently and progress as a race. In fact, the contrary is true. GOD gave us a MIND so that the mind ...

To suggest that there are aliens/extraterrestrials/watchers is mind blowing. Perhaps no longer mind blowing to some of us. To also suggest that, that becomes the reason and evidence to deny the existence of the one God—Consciousness—might be considered as utter nonsense. There is Cosmic Consciousness always. That two hydrogen atoms could wrap their tentacles around a molecule of oxygen and become water is Cosmic Intelligence. That is Consciousness’ prewritten software. There are many gods but there is one Consciousness. Whether you can differentiate the very many gods and the only ONE...

Zen is a way of life rather than an ideology; a way of life that transcends dualistic everyday thinking to reach satori (enlightenment), a state of mind in which the oneness of all things is experienced. This is our original state of mind that becomes overlaid by the strategic egoic thinking that perceives the world in adversarial terms, of "us and them", a world of separate entities that compete for survival. Zen goes beyond the sense of self as a separate entity in the world to reach a non-dualistic perspective. One is no longer a drop in the ocean, but the whole ocean in a drop. This ...

The Upanishads are a vital thread in the evolution of Indian philosophy. Hindu philosophical thinking predates the Upanishads, dating back to the period of the Rig Veda. Even in the Rig Veda, issues about the genesis of the world and the origins of life are expressed. The sanctity of the Vedas is upheld by all six early orthodox traditions and philosophical schools. Despite the fact that Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Samkhya, and Yoga did not explicitly remark on them, they did absorb certain parts of the Vedic Samhitas. In this book, we provide the reader with an overview of the major Upanishadic ...
