The classic study of Pahlavi-era Iran, written on the eve of the 1979 revolution

Gomes is the creator of NeuroYoga (2009), a system that consists of the study of consciousness by training the concentration of attention and the mental state corresponding to meditation. He applies the knowledge of neurobiology and neurosciences, to perfect the techniques and correlate scientific theory on its results. It seeks to apply these developments through advanced neurodigital technology , NeuroYoga being the part of the Neurosciences dedicated to the understanding of the causal factors of the superconscious potential of the human brain, on another level NeuroYoga is the perfect complement to a complete neurological rehabilitation. The patient is stimulated to achieve goals which enhances self-esteem. Its effects are: increase of oxygen in the blood, decrease of high blood pressure, reduction of stress hormones, increased heart rest, activation of key brain areas, improvement of the immune system, etc.Each pathology is studied and the techniques are adapted according to the needs of the case. This defines if flexion and vertebral extension movements, joint movements or muscle toning are necessary.

In recent years, the Arab world and Iran have been afflicted by cataclysmic events, among them brutal state crackdowns of revolutions. Yet, filmmakers have persisted in their desire to tell their stories, against the odds, in creative acts that attest to their imagination, courage and resilience.In this book, Shohini Chaudhuri examines a broad range of films made during the tumultuous period since 2009, ranging from internationally award-winning festival favourites, such as For Sama (2019), Capernaum (2018) and Taxi Tehran (2015), to lesser-known films from the region. While freedom of expression is often understood through the lens of state censorship, she reveals the different types of obstacles that filmmakers face and their strategies for overcoming them so that those constraints are transformed into creative opportunities. Using her original interviews with filmmakers such as Waad al-Kateab, Yasmin Fedda, Larissa Sansour, Mani Haghighi and Ossama Mohammed, she identifies nine creative strategies for producing work under conditions of crisis.Chaudhuri argues that creativity is indelibly shaped by constraints, whether these are externally imposed by existing materials, funding and socio-political conditions, or self-imposed constraints, through choices of genre or acceptance of rules and responsibilities.She shows that the range of creative strategies emanating from the region is much wider than allegory and becoming ever more direct. She thus opens up new lines of inquiry into cinematic creativity in sites of conflict and crisis in the Middle East and beyond.

Memoirs of diasporic Iranian-American authors are a unique and culturally powerful way in which Iran, its politics, and people are understood in the USA and the rest of the world. This book offers an analysis of the processes of production, promotion, and reception of the representations of post-revolutionary Iran. The book provides new perspectives on some of the most famous examples of the genre such as Betty Mahmoody's Not Without My Daughter, Azar Nafisi's Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books, and Fatemeh Keshavarz's Jasmine and Stars: Reading More Than Lolita in Tehran. Hossein Nazari places these texts in their social, historical, and political contexts, tracing their origins within the trope of the American captivity narrative, teasing out and critiquing neo-Orientalist tendencies within, and finally focusing on modes of discursive resistance to neo-Orientalist narratives. The book analyzes the structural means by which stereotypes about Islam and women in the Islamic Republic in these narratives are privileged by news media and the creative industries, while also charting a growing number of 'counterhegemonic' memoirs which challenge these narratives by representing more nuanced accounts of life in Iran after 1979.

Little known in America but venerated as a martyr in Iran, Howard Baskerville was a twenty-two-year-old Christian missionary from South Dakota who travelled to Persia (modern-day Iran) in 1907 for a two-year stint teaching English and preaching the gospel. He arrived in the midst of a democratic revolution-the first of its kind in the Middle East-led by a group of brilliant young firebrands committed to transforming their country into a fully self-determining, constitutional monarchy, one with free elections and an independent parliament.The Persian students Baskerville educated in English in turn educated him about their struggle for democracy, ultimately inspiring him to leave his teaching post and join them in their fight against a tyrannical shah and his British and Russian backers. "The only difference between me and these people is the place of my birth," Baskerville declared, "and that is not a big difference."In 1909, Baskerville was killed in battle alongside his students, but his martyrdom spurred on the revolutionaries who succeeded in removing the shah from power, signing a new constitution and rebuilding parliament in Tehran. To this day, Baskerville's tomb in the city of Tabriz remains a place of pilgrimage. Every year, thousands of Iranians visit his grave to honour the American who gave his life for Iran.In this rip-roaring tale of his life and death, Aslan gives us a powerful parable about the universal ideals of democracy-and to what degree Americans are willing to support those ideals in a foreign land. Woven throughout is an essential history of the nation we now know as Iran-frequently demonised and misunderstood in the West. Indeed, Baskerville's life and death represent a "road not taken" in Iran. Baskerville's story, like his life, is at the centre of a whirlwind in which Americans must ask themselves: How seriously do we take our ideals of constitutional democracy and whose freedom do we support?

Emptiness is a key concept in Buddhism. Emptiness (Shunyata, in Sanskrit) does not mean Nothingness, it is not the negation of everything, it is not the extreme of nihilism. All phenomena do not exist in and of themselves, they are interdependent, they lack intrinsic existence. Each small object depends on the universe that sustains it to exist and on an endless causal chain. Everything is interconnected, it is the dependent origin of things, where nothing exists in isolation from the rest of the universe.However, the human being, because of his ego, sees external things in isolation and separated from himself. When everything that exists belongs to an inseparable causal chain. We suffer from an illusion of separation. When we open our mind to Emptiness, we understand that all phenomena are absent of intrinsic existence, including the individual self, then we understand the essential nature of what we are.

The MS technology, based on mantric meditation, increases your IQ 20% or more, after 2 years of continuous practice. After 7 minutes of meditating, your brain resets and starts working at Alpha wave, at an average frequency of 10 Hz, facilitating the entry of the mind to the state of superlearning, with peaks of 5 Hz of Theta waves and 2.5 Hz of Delta waves, allowing access to the superconscious. It is an effective and proven psychophysical method of self-control and mental relaxation, totally natural, without side effects, non-polluting. It is a totally free access knowledge that will change your life and expand your limits. Within 30 minutes of practicing the entire endocrine system will be self-regulated. During the practice of SM the metabolic rate is reduced by 16% in a matter of minutes, while in sleep the reduction is only 12% and after several hours. This means that meditation provides a deeper rest than sleep, but during the period the mind remains alert and awake, without loss of consciousness, as happens during sleep. This unique functioning of body and mind is called "Alertness at Rest".

Meditation is the training of the mind to induce a concentrated state of consciousness, focusing attention on an object, whether external or internal, and suppressing the flow of thoughts or mental modifications until reaching the state of less cerebral excitability. This state is characterized by a deep relaxation of the body-mind binomial and a reduction in stress. This Brain Fitness improves the ability to learn, memorize, reason and meditative creativity. Meditation allows us to explore the essence of man, which is Pure Consciousness, pure potentiality, source of infinite creativity, essence of all spirituality. These positive effects begin to be noticed by meditating 20 minutes a day, for the first 2 weeks. The benefits of meditation are numerous, among which we can mention: increased feelings of happiness and improved health, increased personal awareness, development of emotional intelligence and empathy, improved memory, decreased stress, decreased depression and anxiety, decreased blood pressure, decreased heart rate, decreased respiratory rate...

Yoga and Buddhism are fine for maintaining health of body and mind, emotional self-control, and equanimity; but beyond that what are they good for? We do not pay taxes, clothing, food, rent, and all the other costs involved in our subsistence with these systems. Unless we devote ourselves to teaching these doctrines, then: We need to apply laws, systems and practical equations that modify our material and economic reality and make it prosper with maximum efficiency.We have the same tools at our disposal as for the practices of Yoga and Buddhism: will, concentration, imagination, visualization, faith, positive and creative thinking. These are the forces that we must organize and orient ourselves in order to move towards success, to attract success towards us and not to run after it without ever reaching it.

Maitreya postulates that there is no God independently of the human soul, since both are the same manifestation of the Absolute Being on a different scale. It teaches that we cannot possibly prove the objective existence of Divinity, but affirms that the mind potentially possesses the capacity to develop as Cosmic Unified Consciousness, the only requisite being proper techniques and a psychological understanding of the foundation of this reality inherent in the human condition. .Maitreya argues that there are 400 billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy, with around 300 million Earth-like exoplanets capable of supporting life. And on the horizon of the known cosmos, there are another hundred billion galaxies.The reason indicates that we cannot be the only intelligent beings to possess a technological civilization. Maitreya warns that in the face of these stellar intelligences we live in our current state of savagery, where we do not live in harmony with nature, we depredate it to the extreme of putting our own survival at risk and we live in a state of constant violence against each other. .

There is only one universally true Religion: Experience!There is only one universally true Experience: Love!There is only one universally true experience of Love: Action!Jesus asked all of us to share our bread in His name. Sometimes, in these 20 centuries, we have tried and we have been discouraged, but certainly today we are not doing it according to how He asked us...Understanding that the current system of things does not lead to peace, to development in joint harmony and to one's own happiness, is the first step to repent of the World Organization of Injustice, of which we are a part consciously or unconsciously, directly or indirectly. What injustice?: 15 thousand children up to 5 years of age die of hunger, per day...The altar of God, before which we must commune, is that of daily work for a growing Social Justice, so that Jesus' mandate is concrete and effective: share our bread!Truly, we receive our bread of salvation from God, when we share our bread with others and give our bread to others.

About the physiological effects of Sophia, the technique is basically a method of vital energy control through the respiratory rhythm, whereby the blood is decarbonized and recharged with extra oxygen. This extra oxygen is transmuted into more vital energy, which rejuvenates the brain and spinal centers. It is a unique system within pranayama that allows accelerating the evolution of the brain and the integral nervous system, achieving in 3 years the equivalent of what nature takes 1 million years of slow evolution to produce, to achieve Cosmic Consciousness.By stopping the accumulation of venous blood, the accumulative deterioration of the tissues is avoided. According to yogi masters, during advanced practices this additional vitality input allows transmuting the cells into pure energy. This is a subject that requires serious scientific research. According to this statement, this process would allow the teleportation of yogis through simple mental concentration.

In Tibetan Buddhist meditation we find first the effort of relaxation to immerse the mind in the clarity of mental peace and then in the clarity of wisdom through analytical meditation. Thus it is possible to understand the essence of illusion of all phenomena and of the mind itself. This makes it possible to undo attachments to emotional attachments and aversions, cleansing the inner subconscious and freeing the conscious from all past conflict. It is not a matter of repeating a simple technique, but of carrying out a deep self-examination at the level of self-criticism, maintaining the attitude of simple observation.Through analytical meditation, one by one the thoughts follow one another, normally, but they are attentively observed by the conscious and as they arise, they dissolve in the unconscious, without causing subsequent reactions. The subject, understanding that the phenomena and the mind itself are in essence illusory, manages to remain detached from the continuous flow of his own thoughts and perceptions. The work done by attention in analytical meditation is similar to that of the Vipassana technique.

How to perform the Samyama?: First we enter a meditative state, we focus our attention on the object of our selection, we deepen our concentration until the notion of subject and object become undifferentiated. In such a situation and state, through an act of will we modify the internal or external nature of the object, or both at the same time, within the fluctuation of space-time, visualizing such an event, internally experiencing it happening in our own Being that is modified. at par.This perfection of yogi self-control is only surpassed when the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi Yoga is reached. Through Samyama the knowledge of the real nature of things is achieved and through this its control. This is how the so-called shiddis or psychic powers are obtained, which can cause disturbance and mental imbalance, for which it is advisable to renounce them and concentrate on realizing God, obtaining bliss and the supreme knowledge of Infinite Reality.

Father, forgive us and save us from the fruit of our sins. In your goodness bless us to have the strength to repent of every deed we do against your commandments and to pay the just price for our errors. In your love, Father, save us from your judgment, help us so that from you, in us, may triumph the will to renounce all evil. May the light of your love always shine in our souls and may we never again abandon you. So be it... Om, Amen, Amin, Aum. Because the times foreseen by God for the salvation of the sons and daughters of Man are now concluded, the power for the intermediation of sins has been exhausted, You must know that all protection from on High is being withdrawn from the world and concentrated at the feet of the throne of our Father.The angels are withdrawing as intermediaries of the divine light among mankind. It is now that every human soul must find the source of light within. Choose between hate and love, death and life, confrontations or peace, darkness or light.

The "I" is the root thought behind all thoughts. In meditation it is possible to isolate it and it remains the only witness of perception. By taking a step further and suppressing it, the cessation of the mind and the exit from Duality is produced, this is when one enters the plane of Nirvana. The technique is simple, it requires perfect concentration and relaxation. Difficult, but not impossible. The very cause of the mind, the root thought "I", is at the same time the exit from the state of conditioned existence to the Absolute. There is no practice or theory superior to this. You must experience, if you fail to isolate your root thought I, your concentration is still deficient and your nervous system is impure. You must discharge your accumulated stress. You can do this through the Vipassana or Synaptic technique, also through the Kriyas. When your mind is pure you will enjoy perfect concentration and achieve the goal. You must train to achieve the goal.

As a child, Maitreya listened to the Om and perceived the spiritual eye in the ajna chakra. During his adolescence, at the age of 16, he had a decisive moment for his later spiritual life. He went with some high school friends to see the movie "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" by Franco Zeffirelli and at the very moment when the actor who played the role of St. Francis of Assisi had the vision of God, Yogi's mind entered Samadhi. Leaving the theater in a trance-like state, he was drawn to the coast and went to the tip of a breakwater. There his "third eye" spontaneously opened and the night was illuminated. He saw trillions of beings occupying the firmament and all in chorus were saying "Lord of Heaven, save us!". Then he wondered to whom they were speaking thus, and as he thought this his attention was seized by a divine force from on High. Suddenly he knew that he was in front of the Creator, he saw before him a source of intense light, unbearable to see from the front. Surprisingly, she heard a deep and sweet voice that said to her, "Son, you are Spirit". After these words were pronounced, the whole vision disappeared and the darkness of the night, illuminated by the stars, returned.

Marjane Satrapi recounts her childhood and coming of age in Tehran during the Islamic Revolution, as well as her self-imposed exile from her native country, through comic strips that reflect how her own history is tied to the history of Iran.

In the middle of the oceanic solitude, in a clear night, I raise my eyes to the stars and I feel the upward pull of the center of the Milky Way and, the consciousness that everything exists because the essence of my Being exists, springs up in me. I know that if I were to stop the thought of the universe in my Being, the entire Creation would be reabsorbed into my nonbeing and from there I could return it to the sense of time and existence, within the same instant that I return it to me..... If I submerge my body and mind in the roar of my silence, the universe disappears for me, to fill my emptiness with me, though my body remains; now, if I stop the thought of the universe in my emptiness, it disappears completely, though its inactive singularity remains differentiated in me. From there, I can vomit the universe back into existence under my will. Here, the essence of my Being finds the ultimate level of the differentiation of non-existence; silenced from all thought: I am what I Am....

The light is within you, depend only on it and not on anything outside, nor on any other... Follow the path of the Dharma itself and no other, trust it and no other. Observe the impurities of your bodies and restrain your desires. Reflect that both pleasure and aversion are the origin of pain and suffering, therefore do not cling to them. Observe your soul and realize that there is no such thing as an ego in it, that your self is illusory. Restrain your attachments and thus detach yourselves from all sufferings. If you comply with all these indications, you are my worthy disciples. Practice fasting, prayer and meditation constantly and regularly, without ever abandoning asceticism. If you do this you will always be full of happiness. The most important thing is self-control of the mind, repress your desires and conquer yourselves. You must keep your bodies, minds and souls pure, for you depend on them for everything.

The Buddhist doctrine of Maitreya emphasizes the acquisition of knowledge and the awakening of Full Understanding, acquiring equanimity and the clear vision of wisdom, accessing a state of Samsaric Rational Nirvana, of Non-Duality within duality, transcending all suffering and selfish desire for personal happiness. In Emptiness, Full Peace of mind and Equanimity are more important than the intuitive powers of the soul.It is a matter of attaining Calmness of Mind and use of Pure Reason. Under the first system there is an interaction between the soul and God, under the second it is a philosophical state of the Self itself which, through self-knowledge, has succeeded in realizing its identity with the Absolute.This state of full awakened consciousness does not depend on ecstasy to develop, but on the capacity of ontological discernment, of logical reasoning. It is the product of analytical and applied scientific thought, being within the reach of anyone who exercises adequately the principles of the system of reflection of this aspect of the Root Reality.
