Help the World and Yourself and Practice Transmission Meditation!
Transmission Mediation has transformed my life! Ever since I tried it with Benjamin Creme in LA in 1981 I have been practicing it, some 31 years now! I flew back to Colorado where I still live and with two other people started a group that same year. The proof is in the pudding. Try this meditation weekly for one year and try to convince me it isn't everything Mr. Creme says it is. He says it is 1) a world service second to none and 2) it speeds up your own evolution unlike anything else. To my mind it is definitely a meditation for this lifetime and the next and the next... It is simple, powerful and always free. Anyone age 12 or over can safely participate. No group in your area? Start one. Buy the book for details.
What makes this meditation different?
I had lots of questions about Transmission Meditation and this book helps answer them all. You might wonder, how does it affect my other spiritual activities...or compare to something like trancendental meditation? What have other people asked over the years? These are all answered in this book.Great if you have been meditating, and just as good if you are brand new to meditation. Either way this book is beneficial.
excellent overall
This recording is welcome because it refrains from the usual ultra-romantic performance style which tends to contaminate the Requiem in particular. I like the pure sound (no vibrato) of the chorus and orchestra, and I am very happy with the generally brisk tempi, which I much prefer to the slow, Wagnerian tempi with which the Requiem is usually saddled. I wish the soloists would also sing without vibrato, or at least not so much of it. I find Patrice Michaels' voice uniformly beautiful with impeccable pitch; I do not admire the other soloists as much. I do however recommend the recording, which is well worth the modest price that it is selling for.
A healthier way to visit the land of the mouse!
I bought this book because I have been trying to make my diet vegetarian and eating out is sometimes difficult. I thought that this would help me find the places for me. I also think it would be a helpful guide for anyone trying to just find healthier food in a junk food "world"The book is great and very thoroughly researched. The only problem I found was that I would start out my day planning ahead for which restaurants I would go to at the theme parks and when I got into the line for food the item I wanted was no longer on the menu. The biggest offender was not Disney but still when you've got a heartier meal in mind a salad doesn't always cut it. This is not the fault of the authors and I highly recommend this boook to anyone planning a trip to Orlando.
Wonderful!
This is an absolutely marvellous CD. I am a classical music lover, particularly of the baroque period and preferably with original instruments. But then I heard a snatch of this on the radio and bought it - and was immediately charmed. I'd say that it is definitely NOT for purists - the sometimes odd synthesised sounds, the swapping of the musical strands from one speaker to the other and back again, sometimes rapidly alternating, will probably be regarded by some as tasteless. However, for me, none of this takes away from the beauty of the creations of Jean-Philippe Rameau, one of the great figures of 18th. century French music, and Bob James does him both homage and justice. I simply never tire of listening to it.
I would love to meet this man...
Anyone who can successfully work within these genres has to be interesting.This is a successful project. Classical pieces redone with synthesizer, and with panache. This sounds like it was done out of love, and a great work.
