Bøger af Anthony De Mello

Anthony De Mello er en af de sjældne kapaciteter, der får os til at åbne øjnene. Han påpeger klarsynet og præcist tilværelsens absurditeter og udstiller det sindsyge ræs, de fleste af os er en del af og tager for givet. Ifølge De Mello er der ingen, der kan vise os, hvordan vi skal leve, for det vil blot være en ny teknik, en ny programmering, men vi kan lære at iagttage os selv og på den måde bringe os ud af illusionernes fængsel, se klarere, se verden som den smukke symfoni, den altid har været.

"The Way To Love contains the final flowering of Anthony de Mello's thought, and in it he grapples with the ultimate question of love. In thirty-one meditations, he implores his readers with his usual pithiness to break through illusion, the great obstacle to love. "Love springs from awareness," de Mello insists, saying that it is only when we see others as they are that we can begin to really love. But not only must we seek to see others with clarity, we must examine ourselves without misconception. The task, however, is not easy. "The most painful act," de Mello says, "is the act of seeing. But in that act of seeing that love is born." Anthony De Mello was the director of the Sadhana Institute of Pastoral Counseling in Poona, India, and authored several books. "The Way To Love is his last.

"Wisdom from one of the greatest spiritual masters of our time."-James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage The heart of Anthony de Mello's bestselling spiritual message is awareness.

And this only happens, he insists, by becoming alive to the needs and potential of others, whether at home or in the workplace.Here, then, is a masterful book of the spirit, challenging us to wake up in every aspect of our lives.

Profound love is at the heart of this warm, compassionate collection of meditations by spiritual master Anthony de Mello -- a last inspiring gift to the countless readers whose lives he touched.

Delovni zvezek za dozivljanje duhovnosti. "Preteklih petnajst let svojega zivljenja sem prezivel kot umaknjeni mojster in duhovni direktor tako, da sem pomagal ljudem moliti. Veliko ljudi slisim kako se pritozujejo, da ne znajo moliti; da se, navkljub vsem njihovim prizadevanjem, zdi, da ne napredujejo v molitvi; da jim molitev postane dolgocasna in jih spravlja v slabo voljo." Anthony De Mello

"Ta knjiga je bila napisana za ljudi vseh izpovedi, verskih in neverskih ... In vse krasi posebna odlika: ce so brane na do-locen nacin, bodo prinesle duhovno rast." A.DeMello

Duhovnost pomeni zbujanje. Vechina ljudi, cheprav se tega ne zaveda, spi. Rojevajo se spe, zivijo spe, zenijo in mozijo se spe, spe vzgajajo svoje otroke in umirajo spe, brez da bi se kdaj zbudili. Budnost je namrech neprijetna. V postelji ti je lepo in udobno, zbujanje pa te vznemiri.

Release your true inner self, shed society’s expectations and programming, and regain your equilibrium with A Year with Anthony De Mello. This week-by-week workbook is filled with fifty-two passages and stories of De Mello’s echoing wisdom, inspiring quotes from a variety of influential world-famous people, and thought-provoking journal prompts.We have all been programmed to seek happiness outside of ourselves—seized through great effort from an unpredictable world—and then to become upset and self-condemning when our effort fails to realize its promise of fulfillment, which it always fails to do. This is not to say that success isn’t a reasonable pursuit, but it cannot give us happiness. Nothing of the world can. Why? Because we have it already. The happiness, peace, and love that defines fulfillment are already yours, encoded in your spiritual DNA. They are not earned or acquired. They live in you as you to be expressed through you. The only effort needed is really no effort at all; it's a matter of coming home to yourself. A Year with Anthony De Mello is a week-by-week workshop of fifty-two passages from De Mello, each followed by a favorite parable or koan Anthony admired to illuminate the passage, and two simple but engaging exercises to actualize the week’s teaching. There are also blank pages for journaling about your insights during the week.
