The Inner Palace -- a 2-volume set -- investigates teachings from around the world known as Wisdom Traditions, teachings which attempt to describe and to explain what is divine, sacred, or holy. These include the Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, and Taoist traditions.To explore these teachings, The Inner Palace approaches them with a respect for primary ("source" or "root") texts and for their interpretation in a way that is relevant to personal experience. It uses an extensive sampling of teachings in a variety of languages (always given in English, and where possible and relevant, in the original languages). The Inner Palace looks specifically at common, core issues addressed on spiritual paths, and demonstrates their similar and often complementary foundations.The Inner Palace will be of special interest to individuals who would like to apply the teachings of these wisdom traditions - teachings that express some of the highest aspirations and insights that have ever been articulated - in their own personal path, placing it into a more inclusive vision.A work interweaving philosophy, psychology, theory of religion, the history of ideas, the psychology of spirituality (the phenomenology of religion), spiritually-oriented psychotherapy, and theoretical transpersonal psychology, it is a treasury of resources for teachers and students and for scholars and spiritual seekers alike.

Calm, Clear, and Loving: Soothing the Distressed Mind, Healing the Wounded Heart

Wisdom Moon Publishing

Presenting an understanding of the mind, emotions, and communication, Calm, Clear, and Loving invites an understanding of the transformation of mind, both in a meditative and therapeutic context. It is relevant to those dealing with histories of abuse and trauma, for those in the fields of mental health, and for those on meditative and spiritual evolution.

The Inner Palace interweaves philosophy, the phenomenology of religion, the psychology of spirituality, the history of ideas, and transpersonal psychotherapy. It investigates Wisdom Traditions from around the world and the sacred realities they reveal, including teachings with Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, and Taoist roots. Its discussions are grounded in primary sources from these traditions, with support from some 2,000 books, taking us into the underlying experiences that sages of these traditions invite us to contemplate and to apply to our own lives. There are valuable tools here that describe spiritual paths and mystical experiences, placing them in the context of a more inclusive vision that reflects some of the highest aspirations and the heart-felt insights of mankind.

The journey of this raft is to the far shore, an ancient metaphor for a consciousness that can see our realities calmly, clearly, and with great compassion, free of the distortions and reactivity that are our more usual human lot. With this compassionate insight, this wisdom, we see other sentient beings and ourselves with understanding, appreciation, and caring good will. Here, with calm and well being, the awakened mind operates effectively, skillfully. Mindful Raft over Troubled Waters describes and illustrates the practicing and developing of this transformed consciousness, as found in the teachings on insight (vipassanā) meditation or mindfulness practice, common to the world's Buddhist traditions. This book portrays this fresh consciousness in a wide range of experiences; it presents our thinking and feeling processes afresh, offering us self-understanding and a deep appreciation of our experiencing mind in all of its workings. Beyond boredom, confusion, and judgment, we clearly see here our various states of mind, trains of thought, preferences, the creation of intentions, and, ultimately, the carrying out of actions that lead us in one direction or another in our lives.

Hitler and the National Socialist (Nazi) Party and government saw themselves as the defenders of European civilization against the mortal threat of the armies of nomadic warriors—barbaric hordes—from the Asiatic steppes: Slavs, Russians, Bolsheviks, Jews, Asians. The Third Reich was claimed to be led by members of a Herrenrasse, a supposedly pure, superior race of Aryans (Noble Ones).
What came to pass was quite different: These self-declared Aryans were themselves violent hordes—Germanic, murderous warriors who acted on an unprecedented level of savagery, viciousness, and remorseless brutality, stunning the world, which could only comprehend the extent of these actions, years if not decades later.
This work, grounded in extensive research, explores in depth the diverse, multi-faceted cultural and historical background in which Nazism developed, rooted in rage and the fierce, sweet dream of revenge, and fed by a nightmarish core conviction that the Jews of Europe wanted the extermination of all Germans. 
It investigates the earth-shaking times from the mutual slaughters of World War I to the disastrous last days of the twelve years of the thousand-year Third Reich. 
In this, it examines key dimensions of the complex world of the Third Reich and its own peculiar inner logic, along with the repercussions it has had on hundreds of millions of people, both then and through the several generations of individuals impacted by this catastrophic violence, inviting us to face questions about morality, civility, society, and government that are vital and pertinent to us to this day. 
With images, illustrations, maps, bibliography, and an extensive index.
