Those seeking to lead a spiritual life inevitably face challenges in their sincere pursuit of spirituality and practice. As spiritual development progresses, facing the many unintentional mistakes made through mind, speech, and conduct become disconcerting. Naturally one begins to wonder, “How to forgive and forget in unhealthy relationships?”, “How to forgive yourself - both for mistakes of the past and for ongoing mistakes in the present?” One of the most powerfu...

Absolutely revered Dada Bhagwan [Dadashri] always used to say that this jatra is the discharge of the karma ‘we’ have bound in the last life. The purpose of it is to wash off the viradhana (to go against another living being) ‘we’ have done knowingly or unknowingly in the past. ‘We’ do not organize a jatra with doership. Actually, the purpose of a jatra is for the sake of the Self and for the sake of bhakti (the Lord’s worship that brings one closer to the Self). It is i...
The Sunday Gospel passages of the Lectionary follow a three-year cycle (A, B, C), in the third year (C) of which the Gospel of Saint Mark is generally read. This semi-continuous reading of Mark during the Sundays of Ordinary Time (Year C) is interrupted by the reading of passages from the other Gospels (such as John) during the special liturgical seasons of Advent, Christmastide, Lent and Easter. Occasionally the Gospel of John is read also during the Sundays of Ordinary...
This continuous reading is often interrupted by the Gospels of solemnities and feast days, and of course during the special liturgical seasons. For instance, the Gospel of St John is read throughout Easter, and is used during the special liturgical seasons of Advent, Christmastide and Lent where appropriate. The first reading and psalm of weekdays are arranged in a two-year cycle (1 and 2). In this book, the first readings and psalms for Year 1 are cited in the Scriptur...
The Sunday Gospel passages of the Lectionary follow a three-year cycle (A, B, C), in the second year (B) of which the Gospel of St Mark is read. This semi-continuous reading of Mark during the Sundays of Ordinary Time is interrupted by the reading of passages from the other Gospels (such as John) during the special liturgical seasons of Advent, Christmastide, Lent and Easter. The weekday Gospel passages are so arranged that portions of all four Gospels are read each yea...
The first reading and psalm of weekdays are arranged in a two-year cycle (I and II). In this book, the first readings and psalms for Year 2 are cited in the Scripture references listed before the Gospel passage. The thoughts on the Gospels in this book are for Sundays Year B and the weekdays and feast days throughout the year.
The Sunday Gospel passages of the Lectionary follow a three-year cycle (A, B, C), in the first year (A) of which the Gospel of Saint Matthew is generally read. This semi-continuous reading of Matthew during the Sundays of Ordinary Time (Year A) is interrupted by the reading of passages from the other Gospels (such as John) during the special liturgical seasons of Advent, Christmastide, Lent and Easter. Occasionally the Gospel of John is read also during the Sundays of Or...

Nine of these sermons are from his later Evangelical years and were preached in St Clement’s Church Oxford, where the young Newman served as curate from July 1824 to March 1826. Although he was at St Clement’s for less than two years, he had a great impact on the parish, becoming widely respected as “a proper minister”. He visited every home (including, to his surprise, that of Fr Newsham, the Jesuit Catholic priest who had the small St Ignatius Catholic chapel there). H...
These sermons give both indirect and direct indications of his early views on the religious conscience, and they are among those Newman texts discussed in different chapters of the Part I ebook. With the exception of the last MS sermon, the copies of Newman’s sermons that now follow have been published in: Volume V of John Henry Newman Sermons 1824-1843. Sermons preached at St Clement’s Oxford, 1824-1826 and two charity sermons, 1827. Edited from previously unpublished ...
In a series of freewheeling reflections and summaries of historical scholarship, this book reinterprets history and culture along anarchist lines. From a rationalistic and Marxian point of view it illuminates capitalism, economics, U.S. history, popular culture, gender relations, and human psychology, even the nature of the fascinating concepts "genius" and "greatness." Its agenda is that of the seventeenth-century Levellers: deflate the pomposities of elite authority, a...
Our civilization is approaching the end. We’re peering over the precipice, and chaos boils below. The time has come to sum it all up, to take account of where we are and what we’ve done, and to pass judgment. We, the generations now living, have been lucky or unlucky enough to be present as history nears its climax; we have an abundance of human experience to survey and draw conclusions from, conclusions to pass on to posterity as it surveys the even more breathtaking ru...
In a decadent late-capitalist society, humanism is under attack from all directions. It's time we fought back and reclaimed what it means to be human, embracing the best of what history and thought have bequeathed us.
The world has changed since 2007, when I wrote the preface to the first edition of this book. That was still the age of capitalist triumphalism, of glacial politics in the U.S. and the Despair of the Activist. Cultural ennui—personal ennui for me. Aimlessness. Since 2008, though, and especially since 2011, life has taken on a new coloring. Horizons have opened; the world is in tumult, even more than it was, and nothing seems permanent anymore. Things have continued to ge...
Social democracy is dead and can't be revived. The solidarity economy is the hope for the world's future, and Marxism provides the intellectual tools to interpret and predict its growth.
The capitalist mode of production does not permit a socially efficient allocation of resources. Resource allocation is determined by the twin structural imperatives of having purchasing power (on the demand side) and of chasing profit (on the supply side). If one has a need but lacks the money to back up that need, as for example the billion children worldwide living in poverty do, one’s need will not be met by the market. Conversely, investors will pursue only those pro...
My hope therefore in undertaking this investigation into our social evolution and the framing of the anthropos, was to discern new ways out of the ‘blizzard’ in order to guard humanity from its chronic blind faith in either in an anthropomorphic deity or a super-human ruler.
The future of the anthropos is tightly linked with the global human society. Fundamental change in society can emerge only through freely undertaken radical change in the individual. Individuals can and will maintain their humanity and freedom through ‘real’ education. Only the indubitable features found within the reflecting subject can serve as an absolute foundation and as a basis for understanding the nature of the world. From this solitary standpoint (courage entail...
Spiritual Common Sense is based on a system of Principles of Christian Living including the Laws of Divine Establishment Principles AND Contemporary Historical Trends – 1976 to 2020. Common sense is NOT inherent but is something which has to be taught and Learned. Common sense is the application of things which you learn in life it is not instinctive.
