How Do I Choose A Spiritual Tradition?
Code Name Price Description  
00604 Ram Dass
Involvement With Life
$11.95 Ram Dass discusses one of the common traps encountered by the spiritual searcher getting attached to the method of changing consciousness and warns against spiritual materialism. Each spiritual technique has its own exquisite function, and you must listen to your heart to know which is right for you. - 1974 Kentfield, Ca - One Audiotape
00606 Ram Dass
Hang On Tightly - Let Go Lightly
$11.95 Speaking through personal anecdotes, Ram Dass addresses the question: What does it mean to honor your incarnation properly? Do you go off to a mountain to meditate or do you get on the front line of activism? He believes that once you have a spiritual perspective, everything in your life becomes part of the process of spiritual unfolding. The game is much more interesting than just staying high. - 1980 San Francisco - One Audiotape
00607 Ram Dass

$18.95 1970 Esalen - Two Audiotapes
02403 Smith, Huston
Asian and Western Philosophy
$26.95 "In Asia, whenever discussions of the spiritual quest becomes serious, two questions come out: `Who is your teacher?' and `What is your practice?'" In a talk based on these questions, Smith provides personal, concrete details about Zen, Yoga, Hinduism and Tantra, and how these relate to Western experience. - 1971 Esalen - Three Audiotapes

09501 Krishnamurti, J
Krisnamurti and Swami Venkatesanada in Dialogue
$11.95 In a deeply provocative exchange, Krishnamurti and Swami Venkatesananda, a Hindu religious teacher, pose answers to questions such as: Can a guru dispel the darkness in others? How do I know when I've found it or that it is the truth? Can practice bring enlightenment? How can the individual realize he is the collective? - 1969 Switzerland - One Audiotape
10105 Rudhyar, Dana
Fate and Free Will
$11.95 Reconciling individual development and mystical self-realization with cosmic patterns and the intense desire of all cultures to maintain social order has been a focal point of Rudyhar's study. He contrasts the great problems of different cultures - liberation in India, freedom of choice in Europe, and individual rights in America - and maintains that in a very real sense, they are all false problems, because they are meaningless unless defined by their opposites. The role of cosmic patterns, then, is not to determine events, but to provide a context for interpretation. - 1970S - One Audiotape
13001 Trungpa Rinpoche, Chogyam
Richness and Poverty
$11.95 Spirituality is something applicable to everyday life, says Trungpa, applying the metaphor of richness and poverty to the process of spiritual seeking. - 1970 Esalen - One Audiotape
32704 Anderson, Tenshin Reb
Walk Around Budda
$11.95 Anderson explores some of the myriad practices that serve as supports for the central ineffable practice, which is to be awake. These practices emphasize the qualities of the Bodhisattvas - enlightenment workers - who work to respond appropriately to whatever people need ... teach appropriately and benefit beings appropriately, according to the ideal of dissolving suffering in the world. - 1989 Green Gulch - One Audiotape
33002 Kramer, Joel
Bringing East and West Together
$11.95 Kramer thoughfully and passionately examines the conflict in world-views he considers to be the root of most psychological difficulties. He terms individuation and merging - in which we want to be wholly ourselves, and yet also seek union with something vastly more profound than the personal - the opposing tendencies most of us alternate between. The latter, emphasized by many spiritual traditions, can be a cause of difficulty as easily as it can be a solution. - 1983 Chicago - One Audiotape
AA001 Armstrong, Ann and Jim
Go Within For Your Master
$11.95 We need but go within the silence of our own being to obtain all the wisdom and knowledge we need for our own enlightenment, for the wisest teacher of the universe resides there. - - One Audiotape
AA005 Armstrong, Ann and Jim
At Feet Of Master
$11.95 Anne speaks about the struggle between setting ourselves apart from the world as spiritual seekers and being in the physical material world. - - One Audiotape
