{"product_id":"9780980098907","title":"Flying With Seagulls: Rituals Of The Mind","description":"Man is problematic to himself, because he does not understand his existential position, which is to accept responsibility for life?his life! It is a duty not an obligation. He is not obligated, but whatever, he does have moral consequences. Without making a commitment to himself, he cannot live a moral and ethical life. Morality is utilitarian. This is not meant in a selfish way, for the commitment is to life. Even so, life only becomes meaningful and purposeful through the individual?we each lives in a vast expanse of ?nothingness? behind us, ahead and around us, which has no intrinsic or extrinsic meaning. Meaning and purpose come to us from the reality, we produce in consciousness. Truth is only in the reality we can conceive, perceive. And we only believe that to which we have made a commitment. So if we make a commitment to life, we can believe in ourselves, and live as close to the truth as we produce it in action.\u003cp\u003eThis book, ?Flying With Seagulls?, discusses these questions in poetic form, making it pleasurable to read, and at the same time enlightening. Its objectives are to share many perceptions, which could expand our Universe, giving us the insights, by which it?s possible to live peacefully on earth as genuine, authentic human beings. We could really stop deceiving us and accept ourselves unconditionally. So many of us insult the intellect with our beliefs; but Critical Thinking is not criticism, it?s an assent of the intellect?a recognition that that sets us apart, unique, relevant to the Universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery heart throb of life beats\u003cbr\u003eIn unison with the contrition\u003cbr\u003eAnd the forgiveness of the Universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough the tendrils of imagination\u003cbr\u003eOur bodies entwines with the Universe,\u003cbr\u003eEvery sinew binds as ligaments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Universe is an expansion,\u003cbr\u003eA reflection in consciousness, of\u003cbr\u003eA Universal mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Universal mind is our mind.\u003cbr\u003eOur body is the Universe.\u003cbr\u003eNeither exists without the other!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the dark long crawling night\u003cbr\u003eWhere my eyes awake robs my sleep.\u003cbr\u003eAway in the distance I hear the whispers\u003cbr\u003eOf a trillion stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eResuscitate me, they say, in you dream;\u003cbr\u003eIf ever you dream again!\u003cbr\u003eFor without the dream we are:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sparkle of light without meaning.\u003cbr\u003eVortices of energy unto itself, imploding!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lind Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49849753469168,"sku":"9780980098907","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780980098907","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
