Extreme Spirituality is any experience — whether it be firewalking or practicing humble service to others — that shows us how our egos mask, limit, distort, or diminish our knowledge of a greater reality. Over twenty extreme spiritual practices are highlighted, and readers will learn how even unpleasant or dangerous situations can help us experience how love, wisdom, compassion, and interconnection reveal aspects of our divine nature and leave us with a crystal-clear distinction between our egos and our "higher-selves."

This book, using many different extreme spiritual practices as examples, uses a logical and enthusiastic approach to teach people how to assume a totally spiritual perspective in any situation. By doing this, even sorrowful or frustrating situations don't have to cause as much suffering. We can choose our reactions to them and use them as insights for spiritual growth..

La Mortificación del Pecado por John Owen. Una guía práctica ayudar a los creyentes a entender y a poner en práctica la mortificación del pecado. Quizás muchos encontrarán dificultad leyendo o interesándose en un libro que toma tanto en serio la santidad de Dios, y la culpabilidad del pecado como el autor John Owen, porque la indiferencia e inversión de valores que destacan nuestra sociedad también han afectado la iglesia. Pero esto sirve para enseñarnos la urgencia de recuperar la reverencia de la presencia de Dios, y de tratar las cuestiones espirituales que son elucidadas en este libro..

A writer's public life is not -- as is often thought -- a round of glamorous parties, prize-acceptance speeches, and triumphant readings to amphitheatres full of loyal, cheering fans; it is, in fact, a grim treadmill of humiliation and neglect. Mortification sets the record straight, once and for all. A collection of seventy specially commissioned contributions -- true stories of public indignity by some of our finest living writers -- this is a celebration of defeat, and a chance to indulge in that most malicious of pleasures: schadenfreude.

You will read about dashed hopes and collapsing bowels, thwarted desire and unimpeded drinking; of fans queuing up for Stephen King's blood; Margaret Drabble bidding at a mock slave auction in Dallas; Louis de Bernières and the S&M prostitute; A. L. Kennedy's disintegrating trousers; William Boyd endorsing Shake 'n' Vac; Margaret Atwood's on-air brush with the Colostomy Association; about an author wanting to kill a member of her audience or another succeeding (accidentally) in killing his host's beloved pet.

These are the best kind of stories: those told against the teller. While readers may be transfixed by the baroque twists of fate, the toe-curling embarrassments, the body's betrayals, and the mind's vanishing acts, they will also wonder at these writers' brave acknowledgment of their own vulnerability and the willingness to expose their shame, a second time, before the public.

Long neglected or scoffed at by poetry "purists," the prose poem is now taking its rightful place as a distinct and accepted genre in American letters. Johnson's work as founder and editor of The Prose Poem: An International Journal did much to garner acceptance and respect for the genre among both poets and critics alike. This book, his second collection, is filled with the mystery, humor, and pathos that make this form so appealing and so accessible.

Peter Johnson lives in Providence, Rhode Island, with his wife and son. He teaches at Providence College.

1920. This little book represents Adyar Pamphlet No. 118. Mr. Mead presents a dissertation involving hostility to the flesh. He extolls the virtues of ancient Aryan India and their beliefs, while striving to get rid of the antagonism of duality, of the effort of mind to dominate body and suggests the use of self-contemplation..
