Book of Myths - Acharya Prashant
Question: What is positive thinking? Acharya Prashant: I write something on this blackboard in a language that you do not understand, and the positive thinker gets up and says, ‘Surely, something wonderful about me has been written on the board’. The negative thinker gets up and says, ‘Surely, it is written that tomorrow I am going to die.’ Is it possible to determine which of these two is the bigger idiot? It is very difficult to say. The positive thinker is not concerned with the truth, neither is the negative thinker. Both are just speaking out what is already there in their minds, and this will keep both of them deluded. What we commonly call as ‘positive thinking’ has no value. What we commonly call as ‘positive thinking’ is just a projection of our own thoughts upon the situation, and that does not help. It may create a make belief, a dream-like world, but dreams do not help. Reality helps. Clear understanding of what is there, that helps. What would be better: If I do not know what is written on the board, should I think positively? Or should I just try to know, without thinking at all? What is the point of thinking about it when I do not know it? I must make all efforts to really understand, and that cannot happen if I keep sitting and thinking about it, because my thought is limited by my past, I cannot go beyond that. I will only think as much as I already know. Do you understand this? Can you think beyond your knowledge? Can you think of things that are totally unknown to you? You cannot! If I ask you to think about the Spanish language, can you think? Your thinking is limited by your knowledge, your past, your experiences, that which you have already gathered. Even what you call as positive is again determined by where you stand. The same happening will be very, very positive for one person and very negative for another person, won’t it be? So, let us say that we are going to have a India-South Korea Hockey match. On one hand there are Indian supporters and on the other hand, there are Korean supporters. India scores a goal, is it positive for the Indian supporters? L: Yes, Sir. AP: Is it positive for the Korean supporters? L: No, Sir. AP: So, what is positive and what is negative? Your own mind is positive and your own mind is negative. It is your own make belief thing. Do not be trapped in positive or negative thinking, keep both of them apart and just try to know the reality. Just try to know the reality; that is the real positivity-to know the reality! The positives of life, the real positives of life have nothing to do with thinking. They have to do with things that do not really involve thought. What are they? You are asking this question because you want to know. Right? And I have constantly been talking about knowing the reality. Knowing is one positive; if you want to call it a positive, if you want to give it a good name. Otherwise, I will just say that Knowing is real and that will suffice. But for your sake I am saying that Knowing is positive. Knowing is positive; Joy is positive; Freedom is positive; Love is positive. And all the so called positivity has been captured in all these three-four words. What is positive about life? Knowing is positive. We want to know, we always want to know. Right? That is why we are inquisitive, we are curious, we question and that is why we feel bad when someone lies to us, because you wanted to know but he did not help you know. He lied to you. So, Knowing is positive. Knowing what? Reality! Not being trapped in positive thinking, knowing the reality. Joy is positive; Love is positive; Freedom is positive. These are the positives. Anything that leads towards these is a positive. And anything that takes you away from these is a negative. I could also call it real and unreal. In fact that is a better way of talking about these. Knowing is real because you want to know the reality. Joy is real because that is what you always want to go to. Does any of you feel good in sorrow, in misery? Anybody here who feels delighted in sorrow? Anybody here who says that I have not had a good beating over the last 10 days, so I am missing it? Nobody. Right? L: What is the difference between positive thinking and hope

Breaking Free Day by Day - Beth Moore
Welcome to Breaking Free. I have never written anything that meant more to me than the message of this book. And because this volume is so precious to me, I desperately desire for it to be precious to you. When I was eighteen, I surrendered to God's call to vocational ministry. Some years later, God spoke to my heart and said something like this: “I sent my Son to set the captives free. You will go forth and ring the liberty bell.” Sweet thought. Even a little poetic for a romantic like me, but it sounded awfully evangelistic for a young woman like me who was fairly certain her calling was in the area of discipleship. Oh, how could I have thought that the only people held captive in this generation were the spiritually lost? To confirm this fact, God proceeded to work on my own heart from the inside out. I had no idea I was in captivity myself until God began to set me free. That's why today I am desperate for you and for your freedom. I long for you to join the unshackled multitude that is breaking free! As we launch out on this year together, I need to challenge you. We will consider many biblical keys to liberty in the days ahead, but don't expect to find a magic potion inside. Real freedom requires real work. And a key part of this work involves God's Word. We need to hide His Word in our heart so that we might not sin against Him

Building With Earth
Preface Written in response to an increasing world wide interest in building with earth, this handbook deals with earth as a building material, and provides a survey of all of its applications and construction techniques, including the relevant physical data, while explaining its specific qualities and the pos sibilities of optimising them. No theoretical treatise, however, can substitute for practical experience involving actually building with earth. The data and experiences and the specific realisations of earth construction contained in this volume may be used as guidelines for a variety of construction processes and possible applications by engi neers, architects, entrepreneurs, craftsmen and public policy-makers who find them selves attempting, either from desire or necessity, to come to terms with humanity’s oldest building material. Earth as a building material comes in a thousand different compositions, and can be variously processed. Loam, or clayey soil, as it is referred to scientifically, has different names when used in various applications, for instance rammed earth, soil blocks, mud bricks or adobe. Next page Minaret of the Al-Mihdar Mosque in Tarim, Yemen; it is 38 m high and built of handmade adobes This book documents the results of experi ments and research conducted continuously at the Forschungslabor für Experimentelles Bauen (Building Research Institute) at the University of Kassel in Germany since 1978. Moreover, the specialised techniques which the author developed and the practical experience he gathered in the course of designing earth buildings in a number of countries have also found their way into this book. This volume is loosely based on the German publication Das neue Lehmbau-Handbuch (Publisher: Ökobuch Verlag, Staufen), first published in 1994 and now in its sixth edition. Of this publication a Spanish and a Russian edition have also appeared. While this is first and foremost a technical book, the introductory chapter also provides the reader with a short survey on the history of earth architecture. In addition it describes the historical and future roles of earth as a building material, and lists all of the signifi cant characteristics that distinguish earth from common industrialised building materi als. A major recent discovery, that earth can be used to balance indoor climate, is explained in greater detail. The book’s final chapter deserves special mention insofar as it depicts a number of representative earth buildings from various regions of the world. These constructions demonstrate the impressive versatility of earth architecture and the many different uses of the building material earth.

Calm the F_ck Down_ How to Control What You Can and Accept What You Can’t So You Can Stop Freaking Out and Get On With Your Life
This is a book about anxiety—from the white noise of what-ifs to the white-hot terror of a full-blown crisis. As such, you’d be forgiven for thinking I’m the world’s biggest asshole for titling it as I have, since everyone knows that the first entry on a long list of Unhelpful Things to Say to a Person Experiencing Anxiety is “Calm the fuck down.” Indeed, when I’m upset and somebody tells me to calm down, I want to murder them in swift and decisive fashion. So I see where you’d be coming from. But this is also a book about problems—we’ve all got ’em—and calming down is exactly what you need to do if you want to solve those problems. It is what it is. So if it keeps you from wanting to murder the messenger, know that in these pages I’m saying “Calm the fuck down” the same way I said “Get your shit together” in the <cough> New York Times bestseller of the same name—not to shame or criticize you, but to offer motivation and encouragement. I promise that’s all I’m going for. (And that I’m not the world’s biggest asshole; that honor belongs to whoever invented the vuvuzela.) We cool? Excellent. One more thing before we dive into all of that anxiety-reducing, problem solving goodness: I understand the difference between anxiety, the mental illness, and anxiety, the temporary state of mind. I understand it because I myself happen to possess a diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety and Panic Disorder. (Write what you know, folks!) So although a profanity-riddled self-help book is no substitute for professional medical care, if you picked up Calm the Fuck Down because you’re perennially, clinically anxious like me, in it you will find plenty of tips, tricks, and techniques to help you manage that shit, which will allow you to move on to the business of solving the problems that are feeding your anxiety in the first place. But maybe you don’t have—or don’t realize you have, or aren’t ready to admit you have—anxiety, the mental illness. Maybe you just get temporarily anxious when the situation demands it (see: the white-hot terror of a full-blown crisis). Never fear! Calm the Fuck Down will provide you with ample calamity management tools for stressful times. Plus maybe some tips, tricks, and techniques for dealing with that thing you don’t realize or aren’t ready to admit you have. Just sayin’
