CARTE AUDIO DE JULES VERNE: O zi din viata unui ziarist american in anul 2889. Gen: SF, Aventura, Nuvela, Distopie, Fictiune Literatura: Franceza O poveste scurta care este potrivita atat pentru adulti, cat si pentru copii si poate fi ascultata inainte de culcare sau oricand in timpul zilei. "Şi acum, dacă vreţi să ştiţi ce însemnează o zi din viaţa directorului ziarului „Earth Herald”, daţi-vă osteneala să urmăriţi multiplele sale îndeletniciri de astăzi, 25 iulie 2889. În dimineaţa asta, Francis Bennett s-a sculat destul de prost dispus. Soţia sa e în Franţa de o săptămână şi singurătatea a început să-l apese. De zece ani, de când sunt căsătoriţi, e pentru prima oară că d-na Edith Bennett, „professional beauty”, lipseşte atât de mult de acasă. De obicei, două sau trei zile sunt de ajuns pentru desele ei călătorii în Europa, şi în special la Paris, de unde-şi cumpără pălăriile. Cum s-a trezit, Francis Bennett pune deci în funcţiune fonotelefotul, ale cărui fire duc până la palatul său de pe Champs-Elysees. Telefonul îmbinat cu telefotul: încă o cucerire a epocii noastre! Dacă transmiterea vorbirii cu ajutorul curenţilor electrici e cunoscută de multă vreme, transmiterea imaginii este foarte recentă. O descoperire preţioasă – şi Francis Bennett îl binecuvântează pe inventator când îşi zăreşte soţia reflectată într-o oglindă telefotică – în ciuda distanţei uriaşe care-i desparte."

Estamos en 2890, y tenemos mucho que ver. Guiados por el narrador, pasearemos alrededor de la vida de Francis Bennett, editor del diario más importante de las dos Américas. Los avances científicos, las ideas revolucionarias y la puesta en práctica de los más llamativos aunque hilarantes (¿y actuales?) inventos son parte de este cuento publicado en Ayer y mañana (1910), una antología de Julio Verne. Aunque no se puede negar la visión futurista y científica que ostentaba el escritor francés, los expertos no se ponen de acuerdo sobre la autoría original del cuento: para muchos fue el hijo de Julio, Michel, quien redactó en inglés y por primera vez "La jornada de un periodista americano en 2890" (con el año cambiado, 2889). Con la traducción de Julio Verne al francés y la publicación del texto en la antología propia, se le atribuye al padre.

“The ‘story of me’ fell away utterly and completely.” ~ Francis Bennett   Description: This encouraging talk begins with excerpts from the book I Am That I Am by Francis Bennett. Zen practice allows us to join a level of experience where we are never separate from anything. This experience that can arise from deep absorption […]

Francis Bennett discussion by Discussion by Dennis and Phil

Francis (Fran) Bennett was a Trappist monk for a number of years, served as a pastoral care provider in hospitals and hospices, and is now a leading teacher of nonduality under the auspices of Finding Grace at the Center. This is our second interview with Francis. In the first we used masculine pronouns. We now shift to "she" and "her," as Francis has come out as transgender and lives openly in the female gender identity she always felt inside. This made for an especially interesting conversation about personal identity and nondual philosophy. In Francis's words, since leaving the monastery, "she has continued to emphasize the importance of returning to our personal bodies, minds and whole self while embracing the transformative power of the divine." We spoke of other issues around contemporary spirituality as well. Learn more about Francis (Fran) Bennett here: http://findinggraceatthecenter.com/abou

Francis Bennett is a former Trappist monk and hospice chaplain. His beliefs evolved to a more inclusive mystical, non-dogmatic approach when, in 2010, while in the middle of mass, he experienced “a radical perceptual shift in consciousness,” illuminating the awareness that the presence of God is at the heart of everything. His vision is informed by his love of the Christian mystics and is deepened by what he has learned from intensive work with Buddhist teachers. Francis now devotes shares his message with those interested in integrating spirituality into everyday life, offering events and retreats in the US and Europe. We spoke about his transformative awakening, his unique path and his current work. Learn more about Francis Bennett here:www.findinggraceatthecenter.com

Francis Bennett entered the Trappist Abbey of Gethsemane in 1981 and in the 90's subsequently lived at a "daughter house" of Gethsemane in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. Until recently, he was living in a small urban monastery in Montreal Quebec. He has been a "spiritual seeker" during all those years, practicing in the Christian mystical/contemplative Tradition and working deeply with teachers in both the Vipassana and Zen Traditions as well. In 2010 he experienced a profound perceptual "shift" in which he realized the ever-present presence of pure Awareness, which some would call, the Presence of God.He has worked in the field of Spiritual Care in Parish Communities and with the sick and dying in Hospice and Hospital settings. He has led retreats, offered spiritual talks and has accompanied many on their spiritual journey. He graduated from the Pontifical College Josephinum with a BA in Philosophy and completed a two year chaplaincy residency with Ohio Health Hospital system.Francis' forthcoming book, to be published by Non-Duality Press, is entitled "I Am That I Am - Discovering the love, peace, joy and stability of the True Self".

Part 1 | Part 2 Adyashanti and Francis Bennett on "The Embrace of Jesus and Buddha" Francis Bennett in panel discussion:: “Emptiness is also Form” A single unexpected moment in John Mark’s mid 20’s left him with a vast and dark sense of emptiness. He would spend the next 15 years immersed in feverish worldly activity, trying in vain to fill this emptiness. His “normal” life of businessman, husband, and father had all the hallmarks of great success. But finally, in 2007, he was compelled by some greater force to sell his business and begin the inward search for the peace and happiness that had always eluded him. Almost immediately he was swept up in a tidal wave of Grace. For a man used to control and responsibility, it was particularly unsettling that these miracles began to move and direct his life into uncharted waters. In 2009, he was guided to “A Course in Miracles”. Instinctively, he knew this was what he had been searching for. It was as though it had been written just for him. The Course in Miracles led him to the direct experience of God’s limitless Love and Peace. That experience of Awakening from the dream of separation to the ever present, perfect awareness of God finally brought the causeless Joy and eternal Happiness for which John Mark sought. With great Joy, he now shares that Limitless Love with all as One. John Mark's website Interview recorded 4/21/2013 Video and audio below. Audio also available as a Podcast.

Francis' book: "I Am That I Am: Discovering the Love, Peace, Joy, and Stability of the True Self". Here's a review of the book by Scott Kiloby: I gave this review of Francis Dale Bennett's book "I Am That I Am: Discovering the love, peace, joy, and stability of the True Self" without being solicited to give a review.  I think it is a marvelously simple but radical book.  Anyone can read this and feel into the direct experience of what he is saying, whether one is a long term spiritual seeker, someone raised in a Christian church, or someone right off the street who has never looked into these things.  There is a flow of simplicity and clarity in the pages that made it very readable.  I didn't have to stop and ask myself what he meant by certain words.  I could see he was using words very lightly, inviting the reader into an always, already present freedom, peeling apart many of the self-beliefs and beliefs about reality that keep so many people spinning their wheels in this lifetime.  Francis' background as a Catholic Monk makes this book even more delicious to me.  He has the ability to speak to those in the Christian Church in a way that is fresh and transforming.  Do read this book if you are seeking.  It keeps it simple, yet utterly profound. - Scott Kiloby You may contact Francis by email, Skype (francisdale3), or his Facebook page.

I'm sorry about the video quality. We had technical problems which we weren't able to surmount. “Adyashanti” means primordial peace. Adyashanti dares all seekers of peace and freedom to take the possibility of liberation in this life seriously. He began teaching in 1996, at the request of his Zen teacher with whom he had been studying for 14 years. Since then many spiritual seekers have awakened to their true nature while spending time with Adyashanti. Adyashanti offers spontaneous and direct nondual teachings that have been compared to those of the early Zen masters and Advaita Vedanta sages. However, Adya says, “If you filter my words through any tradition or ‘-ism', you will miss altogether what I am saying. The liberating truth is not static; it is alive. It cannot be put into concepts and be understood by the mind. The truth lies beyond all forms of conceptual fundamentalism. What you are is the beyond—awake and present, here and now already. I am simply helping you to realize that.” A native of Northern California, Adyashanti lives with his wife, Mukti, and teaches extensively in the San Francisco Bay Area offering satsangs, weekend intensives, and silent retreats. He also travels to teach in other areas of the United States and Canada.
