“The Wandering Mind: What Medieval Monks Tell Us About Distraction” by Jamie Kreiner

"The Wandering Mind: What Medieval Monks Tell Us About Distraction" by Jamie Kreiner
"A revelatory account of how Christian monks identified distraction as a fundamental challenge―and how their efforts to defeat it can inform ours, more than a millennium later. The digital era is beset by distraction, and it feels like things are only getting worse. At times like these, the distant past beckons as a golden age of attention. We fantasize about escaping our screens. We dream of recapturing the quiet of a world with less noise. We imagine retreating into solitude and singlemindedness, almost like latter-day monks. But although we think of early monks as master concentrators, a life of mindfulness did not, in fact, come to them easily. As historian Jamie Kreiner demonstrates in The Wandering...>>

“The Nondual Universe: The Spirituality of Enlightenment Made Simple for the Western Mind” by James F. Twyman

"The Nondual Universe: The Spirituality of Enlightenment Made Simple for the Western Mind" by James F. Twyman
"The Nondual Universe is a deep dive into the actual "experience" of enlightenment or Whole-Mindedness, the same experience saints and sages from every world religion, or no religion, have enjoyed.

Twyman offers a series of short, concise teachings meant to crack open the door that separates you from your fully awakened self, into the experience of "Truth that has always been True."

"Daodejing" by Laozi (2023 translation by Brook Ziporyn)
🕵️🐷🕵️ zero-day🕵️🐷🕵️ "A transformative new edition of Taoism’s central text that overturns its reputation for calming, gnomic wisdom, revealing instead a work of "philosophical dynamite". Grounded in a lifetime of research and interpretive work and informed by careful study of recent archeological discoveries of alternate versions of the text, Brook Ziporyn, one of the preeminent explicators of Eastern religions in English, brings us a revelatory new translation―and a radical reinterpretation―of the central text of Taoist thought. Ziporyn offers an alternative to the overly comforting tone of so many translations, revealing instead the electrifying strangeness and explosively unsettling philosophical implications of this famously ambiguous work. In Ziporyn’s hands, this is no mere “wisdom book” of anodyne affirmations...>>

“The One: How an Ancient Idea Holds the Future of Physics” by Heinrich Päs

"The One: How an Ancient Idea Holds the Future of Physics" by Heinrich Päs
🕵️🐷🕵️ zero-day🕵️🐷🕵️ "A particle physicist makes the scientific case for an ancient idea about the nature of the universe: that all is One In The One, particle physicist Heinrich Päs presents a bold idea: fundamentally, everything in the universe is an aspect of one unified whole. The idea, called monism, has a rich three-thousand-year history: Plato believed that "all is one" before monism was rejected as irrational and suppressed as a heresy by the medieval Church. Nevertheless, monism persisted, inspiring Enlightenment science and Romantic poetry. Päs aims to show how monism could inspire physics today, how it could slice through the intellectual stagnation that has bogged down progress in modern physics and help the...>>
