You smell the aroma of the food. You hear the sound of excited voices as customers prepare to eat to their heart’s content. You look closer and you are confused by what you see. In one corner of the buffet, you see a mouthwatering array of healthy and delicious food—prepared to perfection and smelling like heavenly delight: lobster, filet mignon, steamed vegetables, tropical fruits, and chocolate mousse. Yet, you are surprised to see that there is only a small line of people waiting for it. Hardly anyone is there for the amazing food. Then, at the other end of the buffet, you observe a mess of greasy, unappetizing, and unhealthy food piled up like a heap of junk. You are even more surprised to see that there is a huge line of people waiting for this terrible food. People are even shoving each other to get to the horribly tasting food. You wonder what is going on. It seems odd to see so many people eager to eat the lousy food, while so few are standing in line for the mouthwatering and healthy food. – 1 – 2 • Invincible You The answer is simple: People are in line for the food they expect to eat. What they expect is what they get. If they expect tasty and nutritious food, that is what they eat. If they are used to eating unhealthy and unappetizing food, then that is what they devour. Now think about your own life. What kind of psychological food have you been eating? Have you been stuck at the buffet line of negative thoughts: stuff- ing yourself with feelings of failure and inadequacy, criticism and self-doubt? Have you settled for a life of mediocrity and negativity? Or, have you been dining on a mental meal of positivity—love, optimism, gratitude, and hope? Are you living a life of sustained excellence and contentment? The good news is that you can choose the psychological meal that will truly satisfy you and fulfill your needs. In this book, you will be served a delicious and healthy mental meal that provides you with real sustenance; with true nourishment for your mind and soul. During this full-course psychological buffet, you will learn how to enhance the marvelous entity known as the Invincible Mind. What does the Invincible Mind consist of? The Invincible Mind is the part of your mind that thinks and acts like a champion—with continually expanding thoughts of confi- dence, love, gratitude, joy, and excellence. It is filled with “Mental Invincibility Imprints”—positive thoughts and habits—that rewire your brain to bring you maximum results. Your Invincible Mind helps you win over outside obstacles, includ- ing difficult people and circumstances, as well as inner challenges such as negative thoughts and feelings. It gives you a sense of con- tinual elevation in which you surpass obstacles and rise above neg- ative emotional states. Your Invincible Mind will ultimately lead you to emotional freedom and peace. The Buffet of Invincibility • 3 Mental Invincibility sounds wonderful, but let’s be clear about one thing: The type of Invincibility we are talking about here doesn’t mean that you are perfect or will never fail. It doesn’t mean that you won’t suffer pain. This Invincibility says you will prosper and be happy despite the obstacles and problems you face; despite the failures and setbacks. When you are Invincible in way we are describing, you will be able overcome whatever has held you back—turning pain into power to help yourself and others. With your Invincible Mind at the forefront of your life, you will possess that special trait called resilience, also known as mental toughness; the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. No matter how much pain or suffering you have experienced in the past, you are able to bounce back from temporary defeat. You will achieve your ultimate goals in your relationships, finances, career, health, and happiness. In the end, the Invincible Mind is your most loyal friend: The one who always has your back. When you are feeling down, it will pick you up and offer you genuine guidance and hope. Your Invincible Mind always wants what is best for you—helping you grow and prosper—so you can live your life to the absolute fullest. The Courses of Invincibility In this book you will learn how to develop your Invincible Mind. You will have self-command and achieve visible results much greater than you have ever experienced. You will enjoy maximum success in your personal life and career; in your relationships, financial matters, and mental and physical health. Utilizing the best of modern Western Positive Psychology and Eastern Mind-Body practices, you will learn how to transform yourself into a complete human being. You will become an Invin- cible person who is constantly growing and expanding—bringing 4 • Invincible You goodness and light into the world and leaving a lasting legacy of love and contribution. This book is broken down into three parts: Part One: Quick Bites.

    Winter STAFF PiCKs From HArPer PerenniAl “When 27-year-old Peter Hessler volunteered to be a teacher in the small Chinese town of Fuling, located along the Yangtze River in Sichuan Province, he expected to learn a new language and spend some valuable time in a foreign setting under the auspices of the Peace Corps. What he experienced in those two years—the natural beauty, cultural tension, and complex process of understanding that takes place when one is thrust into a radically different society—is more than anything he could have imagined. Hessler observes firsthand how major events like the death of Deng Xiaoping, the return of Hong Kong to the mainland, and the controversial construction of the Three Gorges Dam have sent tremors large enough to sweep through China and reach the people of Fuling. The book takes place in the 1990s but it’s still a very poignant and compelling look at how China is still a country seeking to understand both what it was and what it has become.” Peter Hessler • River Town 978-0-06-085502-4 • $14.95 ($16.50 Can.) Alberto roJAs, Director of Publicity “Annie Dillard’s The Writing Life, though just a sliver of a book, brims with brilliance and simplicity as she explores the challenges that face those pursuing a life spent in the company of words. She delivers her poetic prose with pure and enviable perfection through insightful anecdotes and metaphors, extracting existential lessons from her seemingly casual observations of the world. She writes with candor and conviction, encouraging and invigorating the reader to take on the daunting task of a writer’s life.

  • Ramón Lull the Book of the Lover and the Beloved
    Ram—n Lull The Book of the Lover and the Beloved translated by E. Allison Peers In parentheses Publications Catalan Series Cambridge, Ontario 2000 Preface More than six centuries have passed since this little Majorcan classic was written, and, so far as I can find, it has never once been translated into English. Such an omission can only be explained by our comparative ignorance of the treasures of Spanish Mysticism, and perhaps in part by the fact that Lull wrote, not in Castilian, but in a little-known though beautiful idiom, that of Catalonia. It would have been attractive to reproduce the original version of the book together with this translation, and even more so to have translated the whole of Blanquerna, of which it forms a part. I hope that both these projects may be realised in the future, together with the translations of (at least) Els Cent Noms de Deu, El Desconort, and some of the short hymns and poems. But it seemed best to begin by making known some of LullÕs best work to as wide a circle of readers as possible. Accordingly, while following, as a rule, the oldest text (which is of the fourteenth century) I have not scrupled to add to my translation a few passages found only in the editions of Paris (1505) and Valencia (1521), which illuminate the authorÕs thought, or seem in other ways to be of real value. On the other hand, I have not allowed myself, through a desire to expound LullÕs ideas, to substitute paraphrase for faithful and exact translation.

  • Surreal Dreamscapes: Walter Benjamin and the Arcades
    © Michael Calderbank, 2003 Surreal Dreamscapes: Walter Benjamin and the Arcades Michael Calderbank Abstract This article examines Benjamin’s theoretical writings on the dream as a crucial aspect of his engagement with Surrealism. Given his ambivalence towards Surrealism’s potential for mystical thinking, it addresses Benjamin’s encounter in the Arcades Project with the work of Louis Aragon, and its resonances with the writings of vitalist philosopher Ludwig Klages, whom Benjamin had known in his youth. The article traces the ways in which Benjamin’s dream theory formed part of his understanding of the revolutionary project of Surrealism, only to lose its critical force in his later 1930s work, and it suggests ways in which Benjamin might have developed this project more successfully. Sometimes, on awakening we recall a dream. In this way rare shafts of insight illuminate the ruins of our energies that time has passed by. These lines are typically Benjaminian. In a sense, they might stand as a brief exposition of a critical insight to which he would attempt to give concretion in the Arcades Project. However, they are taken not from Benjamin’s mature work, but rather, from the unpublished early text ‘The Metaphysics of Youth,’1 written in 1914. Appropriately, Benjamin (above all writers) is stubbornly resistant to any smooth, teleologically-driven linear chronology of intellectual development. Likewise, Susan Buck- Morss uses the analogy, again peculiarly apposite in Benjamin’s case, of ‘development’ in the sense of photography: ‘Time deepens definition and contrast, but the imprint of the image has been there from the start.’2 Hence, I ought to qualify at the outset the sense in which it is possible to speak of Benjamin’s interest in the dream as a ‘legacy’ from Surrealism.
