This book is about the profound utility of philosophy. It is rooted in the conviction that philosophy is not a luxury—it is a necessity that none of us can afford to ignore. This is not an instruction manual for inquiry or a collection of philosophical ideas to adopt. It is not written it in order to tell you what to think, but rather to give you some things to think about. The philosophical ideas most discussed in this book are those held by the classical American philosophers Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and John Dewey. These three brilliant minds were the originators of the philosophy called pragmatism, which remains to this day America’s most significant contribution to world philosophy.

In this book Jeff Carreira explores the experience of Radical Inclusivity. These experiences arise out of the direct recognition that everything is always included as part of some larger whole. That larger whole is itself included in yet another whole. This recognition of profound holism gives us a glimpse into a new possibility in consciousness and a way of thinking that moves us beyond dualistic comparison of opposites. The writing style is personal, fluid, fast moving, and at times poetic because a new consciousness can best be articulated through words that point us to a reality that lies beyond words. This book is meant to initiate an inquiry that will inspire you to embark on a profound investigation of your own experience.

The Practice of Having No Problem introduces a deceptively simple approach to meditation because it utilizes instructions so simple that you literally can’t do them wrong. In fact, this form of meditation is the simplest thing you could possibly do, so simple that you are already doing it right now without realizing it. You have been doing it for as long as you've been alive and will continue until the day you die. In fact, I believe that you were doing it before you were born, and will continue after you die. To approach this form of meditation you have to consider if you are ready to live a life without a problem because until we are ready to have no problem we will continue to make problems for ourselves. Once you give up the luxury of having a problem to escape into, you will discover that you never had one in the first place.

Embrace all that You Are: Meditation as a Path to Wholeness explores the most profound realization that meditation offers - the discovery of who we really are. In this book Jeff Carreira explores how the practice of meditation can take us beyond all limited experiences of self into the consciousness that animates the whole universe. In deep mediation we see how Ideas, memories and emotions continually parade past the mind's eye. We have habitual relationships to these elements of consciousness - some we hold on to, others we push away, some we surrender to and others we ignore. These patterns of relationship make up so much of what we identify with as who we are.In this book you will learn an approach to meditation take you beyond the fa#65533;ade of a limited and isolated existence into a direct encounter with the mysterious sources of awareness that we really are.

Embrace All That You Are: meditation as a path to wholeness

The Soul of a New Self is an exploration of our sense of self, how it creates the reality we live in, and how we can change reality by changing our experience of who we are. Drawing on a wide range of contemporary and classical sources from David Byrne of the Talking Heads to the 18th century German Idealist Immanuel Kant, Jeff Carreira, explains that we are currently caught in an identity of separation and isolation from each other and the world. This book takes the reader step-by-step into the realization that we are part of an unfolding continuity - a wholeness that grows. As we embrace our potential for living in unity together we open into a new phase of existence.

Phillip Moore's book The Future of Children describes the work of an innovative independent school in Michigan and the principles of a love-based education. This book grew out of over four decades of direct experience with children who have been educated in a school that was based on love. These children have grown up to be very different kinds of people. Their direct connection to the natural world has influenced them to feel a deep connection with life. Their sensory rich education has given them a life long love for creativity, for doing and making things of beauty and function. Their abilities to collaborate with others has given them the direct experience of accomplishing projects that live beyond the possibility of an individual. Their ability to do their own thinking and to be in love with life long learning has given them the confidence to live in a world of shifting complexity and deep uncertainty. The lessons and the stories of this school provide us with insights and the creative inspiration that will fuel new ways of teaching and new ways of learning. This book is essential for parents and educators who are dedicated to shifting from the dominant industrial (failing) educational paradigm to a new paradigm that is based on love, trust, and deep inter-connection. “This book is graced by a wisdom that is rare and insight that is profound. Its pages speak to a new paradigm of educating and treating children. It suggests a New Way, an Enlightened Way. Those who dare to follow its precepts will not only transform the lives of those they teach and touch, but will themselves be forever revolutionized at their core. I cannot recommend this book highly enough!” --Shefali Tsabary, Ph.D. NY Times bestselling author of The Conscious Parent and The Awakened Family “Wow, wow, wow. This book is mind-blowing! The whole concept of the school is based on love” -- Ram Dass Spiritual teacher, cultural revolutionary, author of Be Here Now “I take great joy in commending Phillip Moore and his Upland Hills Ecological Awareness Center to you. I’m personally convinced of the competence of Moore and his associates, of their integrity and of their realistic commitment to society. Warmly, faithfully, -- Buckminster Fuller April 20, 1979

The Catholic Church cannot uplift or minister by diminishing its presence in the world. The ongoing priest shortage has led to the massive, worldwide closure of parishes, largely without the input or consent of the laity. Eileen DiFranco insists that the People of God deserve better. Her beautifully written and meticulously researched How To Keep Your Parish Alive provides those faced with parish closings with a practical way to resurrect their parish as an intentional Eucharistic community much like the way the church was organized at its beginning. It is informative, hard-hitting, and ultimately deeply inspiring. “DiFranco inspires us to want to be part of a parish centered on God’s love for us and on our response to that love by loving others.” -- Betty Clermont, author of The NeoCatholics: Implementing Christian Nationalism in America. “Anyone who knows Eileen DiFranco knows her passion and her lack of fear. In How to Keep Your Parish Alive the reader gets to know her deep insights into love, community, scripture, and the message of Jesus. DiFranco goes beyond injustice to provide practical advice about forming – or perhaps joining – an intentional Christian community.” Regina Bannan, Ph.D. “In every age the church needs prophets, not to predict some future events but to challenge and energize people to reflect and to reform church structures. In every age the church needs reform and reformers otherwise, the Gospel is not proclaimed and the church becomes just that closed and empty building down the street. As Eileen DiFranco says, we are living in desperate times and the church must be characterized today by its active presence and availability, not its absence or pastoral chaos. Eileen Di Franco is a prophet indeed. She is wife, mother, teacher, and a Roman Catholic woman priest. In her book, How To Keep Your Parish Alive” DiFranco correctly assesses and describes the current pastoral calamities arising and spreading across the church in the United States. More importantly she proposes creative and life-giving structural changes that offer encouragement and hope for today and tomorrow. She realistically addresses parish closings, a shortage of ordained ministers, financial accountability, shared decision-making, combating hierarchical power, building small communities of faith, and moving the church from signs of death to Christian realities of resurrection and ascension.” -John A. Dick , Ph.D., international speaker and journalist, is an historical theologian, emeritis Catholic University of Leuven
