Outside of religious orders, who are the people that choose to practice celibacy and why? Approaching celibacy as a practical discipline for those on a spiritual search, The Celibate Seeker surveys a number of ordinary men and women to discover the benefits they derive and their advice to others. Discover how celibacy affects intuition and energy, how it reveals the habits of our mind, and is a natural state for anyone involved in intense effort. Hear from those currently practicing, former practitioners, and those who have struggled mightily with what Gandhi called "the highest goal."

In these timeless works, Patanjali, Buddha, Lao Tsu, and other great masters of the Way speak with resonant authority on man's deepest questions, and offer explicit instructions for how an earnest seeker of Truth should conduct his or her search and life. These insightful new versions by Bart Marshall are presented without commentary. Clear and poetic, yet intensely faithful to the language and nuance of the originals, they invite direct communion with the masters, and vibrate with revelatory self-evidence that resonates in the mind and heart long after reading.

Personal Transformation

Illusions, delusions, or faulty beliefs prevent us from seeing clearly and acknowledging what we truly are ... beyond personality and even beyond individuality. In sharing the simple facts of his spiritual quest, Art Ticknor takes us on an extraordinary journey, which hopes "to inspire another with a possibly unimagined possibility, and to encourage another to persevere." With a natural storyteller's voice and conversational style that draws the reader in and pulls us gently along, he conveys his view that the journey beyond the mind, to the solid ground of being, will bring full satisfaction to life.

Solid Ground of Being

Arthur R. Ticknor

If you're looking for the next level for your mindfulness or meditation practice, this book will take you there.
Bob Fergeson distills the best of his advice on the practical matters of the spiritual search in this little book of self-knowledge. Unafraid to speak of his own difficulties and realizations, Bob offers an everyman's guide to self-realization: not through believing the words of another, but through seeking within; cultivating what he calls the Listening Attention.

The Listening Attention

Fergeson, Bob

"There is a fountain-spring of endless guidance and information within every human being."This is not a book of beautiful words, but of hard-won truths. As a diagnosed schizophrenic, Jim Burns was a man tortured by his outer self for much of his life, yet truly "at home with the inner self." His illness gave him unique insight into psychology and the impetus to study the mind as, truly, his life depended on it. Perhaps his greatest gift is leaving clues for other spiritual seekers looking for inner truth. "My answer," he says, "is to know the Self."

Ticknor's work is a beautiful story of despair and hope: a family man with a fine life and a gnawing emptiness of meaning, who finds himself on a wild ride of a spiritual path. Ticknor shares his lessons and discoveries - from human failings to transcendent revelations with an insider's view of what it means to be a modern spiritual seeker. It is a book that will give you chills - because a part of you will recognize the truth being spoken. If you are a fan of nonduality, advaita, Adyashanti, Eckhart Tolle, and other spiritual literature, you will find this a worthy addition to your bookshelf.

"A beautiful collection of poems and imagery, and an invitation to self-exploration."
Spiritual poetry combined with spiritual photography makes this a stunning meditation on nature and awareness. Every photo, every word, is a reminder of the mindfulness inherent in daily life. These words and images amplify each other, creating a work that artfully anticipates our most basic questions of self and God, and relentlessly whispers the ancient admonition to "Go Within."
"It's like Rumi with a Nikon." - Dr. Ron Masa

"Enlightenment isn't just for exotic persons from by-gone eras. This potential is in everyone, and this is what all seekers are seeking." 
This beautifully organized book is about the writer’s spiritual voyage, all the way to its ultimate unfolding– an end to her suffering. Throughout Tess' story, she is profoundly generous, holding nothing back. She welcomes readers into a journey so sensitive, so private, that at times it feels like we shouldn’t be there; her feelings, fears, revelations, struggles, joys, confusion, delight, reflections, courage, tenacity—are all laid out in these pages so that someone else might benefit. The serious seeker will find this book, and the depth of this writer’s generosity, refreshing and uplifting. Tess not only openly reveals her own path, but continually supports and encourages ours. It is a rare read.
