The Buddha's teachings, the dharma, have gone through three paradigmatic shifts over the millennia, known as the 'turnings' of the dharmic wheel and are reviewed in this book. These paradigm shifts are a result of a deepening understanding into the nature of suffering and the methods of healing. At this time the process of cultural interaction between East and West, and its inevitable synthesis, is well underway as many of the fundamental insights of Buddhist contemplative psychology are becoming integrated into western psychotherapy. There is currently a need for integral dharma teachings that are grounded in the theory and practice of Buddhist contemplative psychology that is synthesized with Western psychological healing and adult development. This book opens a door to this amazing integral synthesis for our times.

FULL-COLOR VERSION: A guide to a deeper understanding of the world's great Global Wisdom Tradition of Humankind by examining its true core: the God-Realized Adepts - or Gurus - who, for one, founded all the major religions plus they teach and transmit to everyone the truth of our own inherent divinity - that we are God - and how we may become Enlightened and evolve through the Stages of Life happily with wisdom and love. This book focuses on two of the world's greatest spiritual philosophers of the new millennium, one a genuine Guru, the other an integral philosopher-psychologist (or pandit) who will be talked about and read for generations to come since their writings exceed all others of their age: Adi Da Samraj and Ken Wilber. This book is an integration of their two models of developmental growth to Enlightenment while highlighting Avatar Adi Da as being an authentic Guru-Adept available for the sacred and transformative relationship of Satsang (or Guru Yoga) for each and every individual across the globe in service to their Enlightenment and God-Realization.

Integral thought has profound implications for viewing the life of Christ in history as well as the role of Christ in the mystery of our own lives. To follow Christ is to go beyond the mind-metanoia-and to be transformed in the Heart and Mind of Christ. In this book, Stanich articulates how such a transformation leads us to see as Christ saw, to pray as Christ prayed, to love as Christ loved, to do the things Christ did, and as Christ said: to do "even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."Stanich employs the Integral injunction to Wake Up, Grow Up, Clean Up and Show Up as he explores the life of Jesus and what Jesus' example means for all of us, in the Spirit of evolution.

Our world is currently undergoing major transformations, from climate change and politics to agriculture and economics. The world we have known is disappearing and a new world is being born. The subjects taught in schools and universities today are becoming irrelevant at faster and faster rates. Not only are we facing complex challenges of unprecedented size and scope, we're also facing a learning and capacity deficit that threatens the future of civilization.Education in a Time Between Worlds seeks to reframe this historical moment as an opportunity to create a global society of educational abundance. Educational systems must be transformed beyond recognition if humanity is to survive the planetary crises currently underway. Human development and learning must be understood as the Earth's most valuable resources, with human potential serving as the open frontier into which energy and hope can begin to flow.The expansive essays within this book cover a diverse array of topics, including social justice, the neuroscience of learning, deschooling, educational technology, standardized testing, the future of spirituality, basic income guarantees, and integral meta-theory. As an invitation to re-vision the future of schools, technology, and society, Education in a Time Between Worlds replaces apathy and despair with agency, transformation, and hope.
