In 1921, Paul Amadeus Dienach, a Swiss-Austrian teacher with fragile health, falls into a one-year-long coma. During this time, his consciousness slides into the future and enters the body of another man in 3906 A.D. When Dienach awakens from his coma, he finds himself back in 1922. Knowing that he doesn't have much time left, he writes a diary, recording whatever he could remember from his amazing experience: the mankind's history in the forthcoming centuries, from the nightmare of overpopulation and World Wars up until the world-changing globalisation, the radical new administration system, the colony on Mars and the next human evolutionary stage. Without any close friends and relatives to entrust, he doesn't say a word to anyone out of fear of being branded a lunatic. Before he dies, he hands his diary to his favourite student, George Papachatzis, later prominent Professor of Law and Rector of Panteion University of Greece.The diary circulates as hidden knowledge amongst high ranking masons in the lodges of Athens. In 1972, professor Papachatzis, despite an intense dispute, decides to publish Dienach's diary in Greek. Paul Dienach was not an author, poet, or professional writer. Rather, he was an ordinary man who kept a journal, never with the expectation that it would be published. This unique and controversial book, a universal legacy, is now carefully edited, translated and available to everyone. This is the history of our future! We deliver it to you."

'The healing has begun. It began when you picked up this book. The goal of these offerings is to assist the children of the earth in the redevelopment of their minds, bodies and spirits . . . Buried deep in the earth are precious diamonds. In order to get to them, however, we must dig and dig deep.' In ACTS OF FAITH, life coach Iyanla Vanzant offers a inspirational passage for each day of the year, particularly aimed at people of colour. Vanzant considers that there are four basic areas that create stress and imbalance for people: our relationship with ourselves, our relationship with the world, our relationship with each other and our relationship with money. This book addresses all four issues in turn thus providing a meditative and uplifting guide to living successfully.

PURA BELPRÉ HONOR BOOK ALA NOTABLE BOOK “An important, must-have addition to the growing body of literature with immigrant themes.” —School Library Journal (starred review) Twelve-year-old Jaime makes the treacherous and life-changing journey from his home in Guatemala to live with his older brother in the United States in this “powerful and timely” (Booklist, starred review) middle grade novel. Jaime is sitting on his bed drawing when he hears a scream. Instantly, he knows: Miguel, his cousin and best friend, is dead. Everyone in Jaime’s small town in Guatemala knows someone who has been killed by the Alphas, a powerful gang that’s known for violence and drug trafficking. Anyone who refuses to work for them is hurt or killed—like Miguel. With Miguel gone, Jaime fears that he is next. There’s only one choice: accompanied by his cousin Ángela, Jaime must flee his home to live with his older brother in New Mexico. Inspired by true events, The Only Road is an individual story of a boy who feels that leaving his home and risking everything is his only chance for a better life. The story is “told with heartbreaking honesty,” Booklist raved, and “will bring readers face to face with the harsh realities immigrants go through in the hope of finding a better, safer life, and it will likely cause them to reflect on what it means to be human.”

Mientras vivamos, el futuro se hace realidad. Ahí está, una promesa o un espectro. A un hombre le trae la alegría y la realización de sus sueños, a otro, la tragedia. Durante toda tu vida has visto cómo sucedían esos futuros. Hace años, algún íntimo tuyo dio muestras de espléndidas posibilidades. Ahora es un hombre roto, enfermo y desacreditado. Un conocido que creías poco prometedor es rico y venerado. ¿Cómo ha sucedido? No hay cuestión más importante que ésta, ninguna sobre la que tú y yo necesitemos más luz. Aquí estamos, trabajando en nuestras tareas, tratando de ahorrar un poco de dinero, dando el amor que tenemos a nuestros íntimos, y esperando, siempre esperando, un mañana mejor. Pero supongamos que estamos trabajando, ahorrando, luchando en vano. Tenemos que hacer algo sobre el mañana AHORA. ¿Y si descubrimos, dentro de unos años, que la ignorancia de ciertas leyes y el descuido de métodos importantes comprometieron nuestros esfuerzos y nos dejaron decepcionados? Ese es nuestro miedo. No se puede construir el futuro en el futuro. Sólo puedes planearlo con programas constructivos y acciones positivas hoy. Ahora hay algo que puedes tomar y algo que puedes dar. Tu dar puede ser sólo una atención cortés a las ideas de otro hombre, pero eso es algo, de hecho, mucho. Cuando este acto de dar y tomar se repite sabiamente, aprendes no sólo que puedes producir una vida en constante desarrollo, sino cómo, que es hasta cierto punto. Debemos estar preparados para enfrentarnos a un escenario siempre cambiante. Seguramente esto siempre ha sido así. ¿Acaso el arte de planificar el futuro no comienza con el interés por saber cómo superar los obstáculos de hoy? El mañana es nuevo. Se necesitan nuevos caminos en el ahora si queremos estar preparados para el tiempo que viene. Supón que, en lugar de vivir en este siglo, fueras un hombre primitivo tratando de levantar una enorme piedra, desgarrando tus dedos sangrantes. Supón que alguien llega con una palanca, gritando: "Toma, tengo una palanca, te sacaré la piedra". ¿Qué harías: seguir tirando, o apartarte y dejar que use su barra? Si le vieras realizar la tarea con facilidad, ¿dejarías que el hombre se fuera, dejándote luchar con otras rocas, o le preguntarías cómo funcionan esas palancas? Supongamos entonces que, después de haber aprendido todo sobre esta forma más fácil de mover las rocas, descubres que este desconocido utilizaba otros métodos nuevos para ti. Podía mover cosas sobre lo que él llamaba "ruedas". Sabía cómo aprovechar una cascada y hacerla funcionar para ti. Podía ahuecar un tronco para que, en él, pudieras viajar con facilidad por el agua. ¿No te emocionarías un poco y querrías averiguar más de lo que sabía? Llevo muchos años entusiasmado con lo que me parece un hecho asombroso. El descubrimiento de cómo controlar la materia, para facilitar la vida física, llegó a la humanidad lentamente.

Coping with anger and pain is more challenging than ever in these times—and more necessary. Two acclaimed Buddhist teachers offer strategies and wisdom in a book that’s been called “possibly the most inspiring and liberating meditation on love ever written.” When people and circumstances upset us, how do we deal with them? Often, we feel victimized. We become hurt, angry, and defensive. We end up seeing others as enemies, and when things don’t go our way, we become enemies to ourselves. But what if we could move past this pain, anger, and defensiveness? Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, this book introduces us to the four kinds of enemies we encounter in life: the outer enemy, people, institutions, and situations that mean to harm us; the inner enemy, anger, hatred, fear, and other destructive emotions; the secret enemy, self-obsession that isolates us from others; and the super-secret enemy, deep-seated self-loathing that prevents us from finding inner freedom and true happiness. In this practical guide, we learn not only how to identify our enemies, but more important, how to transform our relationship to them. Love Your Enemies teaches us how to . . . · break free from the mode of “us” versus “them” thinking · develop compassion, patience, and love · accept what is beyond our control · embrace lovingkindness, right speech, and other core concepts First published in 2013, Love Your Enemies is, more than ever, required reading for navigating our world. Throughout, authors Sharon Salzberg and Robert Thurman draw from ancient spiritual wisdom and modern psychology to help you find peace within yourself and with the world. * Includes new prefaces from both authors *
