KILL THE DANCING ACCORDION PLAYERS My Life Filming Travelogues A memoir by Doug Jones, one of America's best-known travel film producers. This is an amazing story of a by-gone era of entertainment. Before the Internet, cable television, and video, people packed auditoriums to see travelogue films hoping to learn about places they wanted to visit and relive memories of past trips abroad. At its peak, there were thousands of live-lecture travelogue film series in the United States and Doug Jones was one of the stars. He gave over six thousand travelogue lectures and he got to his shows by flying a twin-engine Cessna, logging over three thousand hours in the air and sixty coast-to-coast flights. Growing up in Kansas City, he traveled the world on his father's flight privileges as a Trans World Airlines engine inspector. College trips took him to Bangkok, Bombay, London, Cairo, Honolulu, Paris, Hong Kong; all the destinations TWA flew and he put himself through university and made money to travel by playing banjo in Kansas City jazz clubs. He shot film in sixty-eight countries, sailed around the world on the Queen Elizabeth 2, and traveled on every form of transportation imaginable. His film The Great Canadian Train Ride drew sell-out crowds in auditoriums and theaters and sold over 1,000,000 copies on home video and DVD. This very personal memoir is filled with fascinating stories of filming around the world and includes an array of observations about everything from travel to aviation to show business. Grab your passport, sit back, relax, and come along with Doug Jones as he travels the world, movie camera in hand, recording his adventures and filming travelogues. "The quality of the Doug Jones travelogues is first-rate." The Los Angeles Times

Dharma If You Dare

Dharma If You Dare

Are you looking for something more? Happiness? Meaning? Challenge? Transformation? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then keep reading. Doug Duncan Sensei's pithy book, Dharma if you Dare, offers an empowering starting point for addressing these common desires. This humorous and accessible book allows you to explore how you contribute to your own feelings of longing and dissatisfaction while providing practical tools - based in the Tibetan Karma Kagyu lineage and other wisdom traditions - which help you to free your mind. Dharma if you Dare offers concrete examples and illuminating metaphors compassionately intended to help you speedily reconnect with your real purpose for being here -- awakening in this lifetime. Here's a sneak peak into some of the book's insightful and liberating lessons: Do you feel as though you're running in circles? "There was a point in your life when you needed to run. But you've done that already. You can't keep running. Its time to stop, turn around, and meet whatever you're afraid of." Are you struggling to find your calling? "When you don't know what your calling is, it's because your highest motivation is to get pleasure or avoid struggle." Why meditate? "The purpose of meditation is to get a little key into a little lock to open the door to freedom." What is meditation? "In the beginning, meditation is mostly finding out what it's not. It isn't your internal dialogues; it isn't the feelings that arise. Meditation is the process of watching those things become apparent until eventually your whole makeup is revealed."

Spiritual awakening goes by many names. It's been referred to as enlightenment, the search for the Holy Grail, the Hero's Journey, Christ Consciousness and more. This experience is the focus of this book. But what does this mean in the 21st Century? Once thought of as the domain of mystics and sages living away from society, this guide to awakening is accessible to anyone seeking greater depth and fulfilment in the context of contemporary life. Rather than retreating from the world and its complexities, the mess of modern life itself can become a vehicle for cultivating awareness, compassion, and wisdom.Awakening, or the development of consciousness, is the path to seeing through delusion into the nature of reality. These ancient practices have never been more relevant than today, in the contemporary culture of consumerism and its attendant dis-eases of inequality, ecological destruction and the loss of diverse and sustainable forms of life. Spiritual practice is a form of radical resistance and antidote to these hollow, disconnecting forces, developing instead our capacity for attention, discernment, joy and wise action. This is freedom, this is waking up; the quality of our lives, our relationships, and indeed the future of the planet depends upon it.In this adventurous and contemporary guide to awakening, master teachers Acariya Doug Duncan and Catherine Pawasarat guide the reader through maps of the self from Buddhist philosophy, western psychology and wisdom traditions such as karma yoga, astrology and tantra. By first understanding the forces of ego and trauma that hold each of us back, we learn how to get beyond small views of the self, into expansive, ever-transforming selfhood, with the capacity to awaken through work, creativity, sex, relationship and action. In this way, we become bodhisattvas, vibrant forces of light, love, compassion and wisdom in the world.Honest, edgy, and accessible, this book is a must for anyone interested in exploring the true nature of reality, inner and outer. In this continuum, our challenges and gifts are co-existent threads in the vibrant tapestries by which we realize our agency, affecting and affected by the whole.

You were born for battle. And the time to engage in the fight is now. An invisible, spiritual war is being waged against us. At stake in the battle are the eternal souls of men and women: your family, your friends, your coworkers, your neighbors. That's why God calls to the warrior in each of us, and Doug Smith's The Warrior's Advance sets forth both the urgency and the how-to's of responding to that call.A catalyst for spiritual awakening, The Warrior's Advance challenges men to stand, walk, and war in Christ's power... against a cunning and ruthless Enemy... for our good, the good of our families, the good of our society... and for God's great glory. As we respond to God's call to battle--as we invest time and energy in learning how best to fight, as we stand strong in the face of Enemy attacks--God will transform us from fear to faith, from lamb to lion, from weakness to warrior

Befriending the Mind: Easing Into the Heart of Awakening

Befriending the Mind: Easing Into the Heart of Awakening

Doug Kraft

Easing Awake Books
2019
nidottu
Some meditators put too much of the wrong kind of effort into meditation. The mind doesn't need to be controlled, shaped, or trained. Trying to do so is like standing in a hammock: it's difficult to do, destabilizing, and completely unnecessary. A natural kindness and intelligence imbue the mind-heart. They can easily be obscured. Our job is to discover the clarity and wisdom inherent within. This may take effort and discipline. But wisdom is about revealing rather than ruling. Awakening begins with befriending the mind. *** To be sure, sometimes the mind goes out of control with more enthusiasm than it knows how to manage. Other times it's lethargic or lost, not knowing where it is, where it's going, or where to find the energy to keep moving through the gloom. During these times we may yearn for stability, peace, vitality, clarity, or uplift. We may be tempted to take charge and will these qualities onto the mind. However, habit is stronger than will. Willpower may work for a while. But in the long run, it's hard to sustain. Rather than trying to overrule the mind-heart, we can befriend it - open up to it with kindness, get to know it better, see how it operates. *** A traditional Buddhist metaphor for this process is the parting of storm clouds. As the sun shines through, we notice the openness of the sky itself. The sun is always shining. The sky is always spacious. Clouds can obscure the luminous expanse. But these qualities are always present. We don't create them. Instead, we discover what was hidden. *** What we truly seek is already here, though it may be obscured. Realizing our natural peace and vitality is a middle way that is neither domineering nor out of control. It exposes a natural mind-heart that is peaceful, luminous, patient, intelligent, kind, wise, gentle, agenda-less, and so quiet it draws no attention. Attuning to it could be called "easing awake." Or it could be called "befriending the mind." *** This book explores how to befriend the mind-heart, the inner landscape that is revealed by this process, and the natural non-dual awareness that emerges.

After making eight, one hundred-page comedy books with cartoons and humorous essays and giving them to friends, and doing enough poetry to fill a four-hundred page book, I finally had the desire remember the past and think maybe I could write it. I'd tell myself the EARLY STORIES of my life. At the age of sixty-five and prompted by my mother's gift of three tattered family photo albums, I was reminded of the past and suddenly wanted to remember everything of that far distant time. I started with my birth. It should organize easily. The outline would be chronological. In remembering everything, perhaps I indulged myself too much, but you be the judge. When I finished the book after writing about graduating from the University of Illinois, I felt, perhaps my life story could not be told in a mere three or four hundred pages. It looked very much like there would at least be a LATER STORIES.

If you are comfortable with off-the-wall dream-poems, scribbly diagrams suggesting meanings, several Maps to the Right Brain, and explorations into the depths of a man's soul, this book is for you. Apparently the author thought organization and planning expendable. It seems whatever drifted into the author's head was suitable for posterity. Who else would mix dream poetry, art, cartoons, weird essays, scribbly diagrams, and Maps to the Right Brain in one book? This "piece of art" is held together by lack of continuity. Read the neurotic efforts of a temporarily confused author, Doug Rucker, who, in addition, has come up with the puzzling title, CRANDALICUS? Good reading
