These are just some of the ideas that were conceived and developed during the Enlightenment, and which changed forever the intellectual landscape of the Western world.

From music to a spiritual quest: a whole destiny will play out between these two poles. First, a childhood marked by poverty, followed by the trauma of the Second World War and a passion for music. Then, one day, everything changes. London, 1949: for the first time in his life, Edward Salim Michael, 28 years old, at the time a composer and solo violinist, sees a statue of Buddha. He is transfixed. That evening, he feels an irresistible urge to replicate the Buddha's posture and to concentrate on a sound he hears within his ears and head, without even knowing that what he is doing is called ...

“It is very difficult for a beginner to understand that the goal to which he aspires is closer to him than the blood in his own veins; it is, in truth, within him and in the present.

Since ancient times, the writings on the art of relations between men and women have been circulated all over the world. Cervantes wrote, and so did Boccaccio, out of the sheer delight of creation. We find there many prescriptions that are correct and useful for the human body and spirit manifested in the realm of sexual life. The rules and methods of the so-called 'Oriental Erotica' are a part of the world's cultural heritage, and so I thought to make my own modest contribution to this critical side of human life. In Daoism and Zen Buddhism, for example, as in some other eastern religions,...

This concise volume provides a survey of the methods of Yoga as they relate to the rise of the non-dual condition of enlightenment, or "Liberation" ("Moksha" in Sanskrit), and practices that can be utilized during the end stage of the journey. It is about the rise of the witness and the evolution to ripeness and relational self-inquiry for permanent realization of the observer being both beyond and in unity with all objects of perception, accompanied by the natural emergence of an unending flow of divine love in the world.
