The Tao Te Ching is a principal text of the ancient Spiritual tradition of Chinese Taoism. It is a compilation of 81 wisdom sayings attributed to Lao Tzu, the old boy/philosopher/Master, written down over two-thousand years ago and which has since undergone hundreds of translations, commentaries, adaptations and applications. Tao Te Ching maxims originally were wise counsel given by Taoist sages to feudal rulers on how to harmoniously and peacefully live their lives, order their states and govern their peoples at a time period in Chinese history of pervasive socio-political conflict and upheaval. The wisdom sayings have become universally meaningful and perennially relevant guidelines for enlightened leadership, Spiritual awakening and Soulful living.The present work is an original rendering of the Tao Te Ching, the title of which is typically translated as The Way Virtue/Power Classic but is here rendered as Spirit Soul Passages. The Ultimate Reality of Tao is interpreted as Spirit and its Virtuosity/Te is interpreted as our embodied Spirit, inner Spirit-nature or Human Soul. The textual maxims and their Soul-journeying commentaries and meditations are considered as some passages we human beings can make on our Soul-journeying from being ego-identified to identifying with/as Spirit and Soul and which are relevant, meaningful and useful for some dynamic-kinetic energetic aspects of Soul-work, Soul-making and the enSouling process throughout our human life course, life cycle and life span.

As the post-modern world lurches toward the disasters and bereavements that signal the end of an age, we turn to myth to comprehend the elemental forces that move through our lives, to know who we are, to understand which stories inform our consciousness. Madness At the Gates of the City, writes Robert Johnson in his introduction, "e;shows how America regularly re-enacts old patterns that cause us to subvert our goals and miss the deeper meaning in events. But by looking at American history, politics and popular culture through the lenses of Greek mythology, indigenous wisdom and archetypal psychology, the author discovers new hope in very old ways of thinking. This book should appeal to anyone interested in myth, Classics, history, psychology or progressive politics."e;

Compared to technology, management practices have not really changed much over time. The typewriter and mimeograph machine are artifacts from a lost civilization. Ironically, the way we solve problems, make decisions and resolve issues are also artifacts from that past. The grooves in our brains keep us from embracing new ways of perceing and understanding. Complexity becomes overwhelming when we limit our mental bandwidth this way. Confessions of a Corporate Shaman is about expanding our personal bandwidth. There is a field of greater intelligence available to us. If we embody the parts of a problem and arrange them as a system we can tap into that intelligence and benefit from what we learn. A big problem quickly shrinks. Opaque complexity gains clarity and simplicity. This visual process, powered by the nearly limitless power of the subconscious mind, generates transformative insights and new possibilities. The shaman in some traditions is "e;the one who sees."e; Everyone has this innate capacity. The invitation between these covers is to embark on your personal hero's journey. Whether your challenge is about leading others, leading yourself or trying to understand and resolve the obstacles to organizational change the place to start is within yourself. The compass that will guide you is to be the change you want to see in others. As you explore the inner dynamics that shape your world hopefully you will feel inspired to embrace those dynamics as an essential part of your mission and leadership path.

ABOUT THE BOOKIn the early 1960s America became involved in a brutal, devastating war in Southeast Asia. The war polarized much of the nation and threatened to destabilize America''s influence throughout the globe. The world was introduced to an entirely new kind of sports icon. He was an outspoken, confident young man who vigorously voiced his opinion about the Viet Nam War and racial inequality in America.In 1963 President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was brutally gunned down in Dallas, Texas. Two days later his alleged assassin was murdered on live television in front of a shocked nation. Later that same year the Warren Commission Report would be released to the public. Critics blasted the report for its alleged inaccuracies and narrowness of scope. The civil rights movement grew increasingly more powerful in the 1960s. The movement was a key factor in the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Horrific repercussions would shortly follow, however. Many young, innocent blacks were murdered and its charismatic leader, Martin Luther King, Jr., would be assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. A rock band from across the ocean would captivate a generation and future generations of young and old alike with its electrifying and unique style of rock and roll music. 1964 was the year that all these elements began to crystalize and produce the cultural phenomenon that we now know as the 60s.ABOUT THE AUTHORThomas Brennan lives with his family in Collingswood, New Jersey. He enjoys reading and writing about important historical milestones. One of his forthcoming books will be about America''s first mega sports hero, the incomparable heavyweight champion, Jack Dempsey.

The Viet Arcane is a poetic vision of the Viet Nam War written in the early 1970''s. It was inspired by a book by René Depestre, A Rainbow for the Christian West, in which a series of poems enacts an invasion by the Vodou Loas - or Haitian gods and goddesses - into the southern and most reactionary part of the United States. Hirschman imagines a similar invasion manifested by Vietnamese Mediums who follow the Dao Mau (the Worship of the Mother) religion. He strives to remind us that the war in Vietnam, although now history, was the major catastrophe of its time and must not be forgotten by future generations. ABOUT THE AUTHORJack Hirschman was born in 1933 in New York City and grew up in The Bronx. A copyboy with the Associated Press in New York, his first brush with fame came from a letter Ernest Hemingway wrote to him, published after Hemingway''s death as "A Letter to a Young Writer." He was a popular and innovative professor at UCLA in the 1970s, before he was fired for his anti-war activities. Hirschman is a member of the League of Revolutionaries for a New America (LRNA), a founding member of the Revolutionary Poets Brigade and the World Poetry Movement, the fourth emeritus poet of the city of San Francisco, and poet in residence with the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library.

ABOUT THE BOOKAt the beginning of this dreamlike graphic novel, a young woman's sleep is disturbed by a mysterious voice calling in the night. She follows the sound into a forest grove where she is inspired to weave a dress of leaves. As she adorns her garment with one last leaf, it breaks and falls away, ruining her creation. She collapses in frustration only to awaken as some other tiny self on the surface of that torn leaf. She begins to explore her microscopic new world under the moonlight, unaware that a frightened, hungry creature, Samael, is growing on the darkened underside of this leaf world. Scott David Finch's "A Little World Made Cunningly" is a story about creativity built on the ancient template of the Creation Story. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Drawing upon images from esoteric Christianity, the syntax of postmodernism, and Saturday morning cartoons, Finch's work demonstrates an interest in the arcane strata below and beyond ordinary waking consciousness. He often employs several parallel lines of metaphor at once in a dense, layered visual language. After more than twenty years of making large brightly colored paintings derived from photographic imagery, during a creative block 2010, images of a woman weaving leaves into a dress around her own body began to unfold in his mind's eye. This narrative impelled him to devote the next year to writing and drawing "A Little World Made Cunningly."
