"The aim of this book is largely reparative. I wrote it myself during testing times both emotionally and financially. The principles and aphorisms contained herein became a staff for me at the time and many of these formed the basis of the belief system that supports my psychology. They transformed the most chronic of problems easily and became the cornerstones and building blocks for a brighter, more positive future. Enlightenment for Beginners aims to educate and enlighten you, increase your awareness and give you an expanded view of what we call life. I hope to share this knowledge with you it comes from the depths of my awareness. With understanding and a solid foundation every problem we encounter becomes a way of extending ourselves and transforms into a gift. After taking "The Road to Recovery" and a short journey within, we can safely and confidently return to the mainstream of life with renewed interest and energy. Seeing where we are now, and how far we have come, allows us to settle into life knowing we are guided, gifted, supported and rewarded, throughout this intrinsic tapestry of life. I hope you have at least as much fun reading Enlightenment for Beginners as I did writing it." Matt Blythe Enlightenment for Beginners by Matt Blythe is a Spiritual Self-help guide to Enlightenment. Published September 17th 2010 by Xlibris and now available in 2nd Edition by Inner Vision Press.

This is a simple account of how and why you have been imaging yourself to be only a separate and limited being.

A clear and concise introduction to a number of spiritual principles and practices, starting from the premise that we are spiritual beings first and foremost and human beings second. It is not a book about religious creeds and dogma, but about personal choices and responsibilities.

There are a lot of books written on the topic of visualization. Mine is a little different. As an engineer and experiencer of many paranormal events I’ve got a different perspective enabled by my research and experience. There are many subjects I’ve studied that indicate that the mind really can affect our reality. In this book I will review why my research and experience says that visualization really works and some lessons on how to do it. The Reality we live in is much more malleable than we think and so why not set our goals and purposes to get that reality to work the way we want it? Techniques included in this book include various visualization techniques and building your own vision board.

Welcome to this book about intuition and prophecy. My first book on the Topic was over ten years ago and is titled “Prophecy: A History and How to Guide”. That one was a general overview of the topic. This book is much more focused on how intuition and prophecy skills can be used to improve your life. So what are intuition and prophecy and why are they important? These two things are spiritual abilities which we all have and which allow us to see outside of the present. Like athletes some of us have more natural abilities than others. However, we can train and exercise our abilities to improve our lives. Prophecy is a more advanced form of intuition and has been used throughout history. Intuition is more about being immediately aware of what or who is around us while Prophecy is focused specifically on the future. While intuition is more immediate it too can be very useful. In fact all spiritual abilities can help or hinder our lives. This is true of any physical or mental abilities. I’ve also included a lot of information on the history of prophecy and research into the paranormal to show that people have been aware of these subjects throughout history and in modern times they have been researched by scientists. Lastly, I want to say that like learning anything new there are things to watch out for, but like all things we do there are risks and rewards. Hoping you enjoy this material and the stories related here.

There is great interest out there in what people can do to improve their longevity. I’ve been writing books about longevity for fourteen years and I realized there was one topic I had not really covered in detail. That topic is what are the foods and supplements we can take which will help make us healthy enough to lengthen our lives. Improving individual longevity is not just about foods and supplements. There are a lot of factors which all affect longevity so I have a chapter here which talks about my work “The 10 Principles of Personal Longevity” which covers those issues in more detail. In addition there are some specific physical issues like telomeres, inflammation, and oxidative stress which also affect chronic diseases and therefore longevity and these are discussed in detail. I also think it is pertinent to see what long lived communities eat so I’ve copied some of the key data and conclusions from my book on four long lived communities around the world to see what their diets are. Some recipes of their traditional foods are also included. Foods and supplements which have been known from historical times and today are discussed in detail for you to learn what the wisdom of the ages and science knows about the correct foods and supplements to eat. After reading this book you will have new ideas about the food, diets, and supplements you can eat to help you live a much longer and healthier life.

The concept of Infinity has been around since the ancients and it has many practical applications in mathematics like Calculus. Infinity is also important in Fractals which are a graphical algorithm which is used in many computer graphics applications today and which has infinite depth. It is also applicable to our Universe since the standard concept we are taught about the Big Bang as the beginning of the Universe may be wrong. Modern evidence is showing us contradictions which say that we live in a Universe which is steady state and might even be infinite in size. The Universe doesn’t have a creation date we can be sure of. We don’t really know if it is infinite in size but the Universe is certainly much larger and older than our best scientific instruments can measure. This book is an exploration of Infinity and new understandings of our Universe which have come to light in recent decades.

Huatou is a skillful method for breaking through the prison of mental habits into the spacious mind of enlightenment. The huatou is a confounding question much like a Zen koan. Typical ones are "What is wu [nothingness]?" or "What was my original face before birth-and-death?" But a huatou is unlike a koan in that the aim is not to come up with an answer. The practice is simple: ask yourself your huatou relentlessly, in meditation as well as in every other activity. Don't give up on it; don't try to think your way to an answer. Resolve to live with the sensation of doubt that arises, and it will pervade your entire existence with a sense of profound wonder, ultimately leading to the shattering of the sense of an independent self. Master Sheng Yen brings the traditional practice to life in this practical guide based on talks he gave during a series of huatou retreats. He teaches the method in detail, giving advice for dealing with the typical pitfalls and problems that arise, and answering retreat participants' questions as they experience the practice themselves. He then offers commentary on four classic huatou texts, grounding his instructions in the teaching of the great Chan masters.
