A Line in Three Circles

Robert Lax (1915 - 2000) was a close friend of Thomas Merton, Ad Reinhardt, and the beatniks. After his studies at Columbia University, he worked for Time, Parade, and The New Yorker - and then published his first book: Circus of the Sun. As Jubilee´s roving editor he travelled a lot, and finally decided to stay in Greece, where he found the quietness he needed for his poetic work. Living a solitary life on Greek islands, he became one of the great loners of American literature. The process of his mental, spiritual, and artistic development is what makes Lax´s life most interesting. ´The Inner Biography´ stresses on his search for his own way of life, with references to his texts and poems. He made his daily life a ritual, transposing his experiences into his poetry: life has something to do with art, & it´s just a matter of finding the special point at which the two of them get together. His deliberate slowness, his spirituality, his charisma, and his poetic work impressed everybody who met Robert Lax. The book also contains a short biographical synopsis of Lax´s life, and a comprehensive catalog (635 entries) of the works of Robert Lax.

Calmness is the psychological condition of genuine feelings of calmness being free from tumult, energy, or aggravation. It likewise alludes being in a condition of quietness, peacefulness, or harmony. Calmness can most effectively happen for the normal individual during a condition of unwinding, yet it can likewise be found during substantially more alarm and mindful states. A few people find that concentrating the brain on something outer, or even inner, for example, the breathing, would itself be able to be very quieting.Smoothness is a quality that can be developed and expanded with training, or created through psychotherapy. It more often than not takes a prepared personality to remain quiet even with a lot of various incitement, and potential interruptions, particularly enthusiastic ones. The negative feelings are the best challenge to somebody who is endeavoring to develop a quiet personality. A few teaches that advance and create tranquility are supplication, yoga, unwinding preparing, breath preparing, and contemplation. Jon Kabat-Zinn states that "Fixation is a foundation of care practice. Your care might be as strong as the limit of your brain to be quiet and stable. Without smoothness, the reflection of care will have an unsettled and uneven surface and won't have the option to reflect things with any exactness." ungekürzt. Language: English.

Roommates for a Day , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 14min, (USK 18)

Robert woke up sometime during the night and thought that he was back at home; looking around for a moment, he wasn't sure where he was. He sat up for a moment and looked around the living room, and it all came back to him as he began rubbing his eyes. “I'm in my own place. That's where I am.” He muttered to himself tiredly as he laid back down and closed his eyes for a brief moment.Being alone was killing Robert inside, and he was thinking about what TJ had said to him about how it was going to be different. Wondering if he was going to be able to be on his own without anyone with him, not that he needed the help or anything, but just not having anyone around him all the time. He was beginning to feel the loneliness. It wasn't that he needed someone, it was that he liked being around everyone.For just a moment, he was thinking about taking down what he had in the living room. The idea that he had to scare TJ away from wanting to room with him, he was going to give in as his heart sank wondering if he would ever get use to the quietness of the apartment, flicking the television off now that he had his own bills for which he had to pay. ungekürzt.

Moon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 566min

The dark side. He had fled from the terrors of his past, finding refuge in the quietness of the island. And for a time he lived in peace. Until the 'sightings' began, visions of horror seeping into his mind like poisonous tendrils, violent acts that were hideously macabre, the thoughts becoming intense. He witnessed the grotesque acts of another, a thing that gloried in murder and mutilation, a monster that soon became aware of the observer within its own mind. And relished the contact. A creature that eventually would come to the island to seek him out. James Herbert was one of Britain’s greatest popular novelists and our #1 best-selling writer of chiller fiction. Widely imitated and hugely influential, he wrote 23 novels which have collectively sold over 54 million copies worldwide and been translated into 34 languages.

Buddhist Meditation: The Breath: The Mindfulness of Breathing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 210min

The Mindfulness of Breathing meditation has been practised in the Buddhist tradition for 2,500 years. It is now widely used not just among Buddhists but increasingly in the secular world as the basis of mindfulness training, and in other contexts such as yoga and, in recent times, stress and pain management. After all, as the author and teacher Vessantara observes, ‘The breath is always with us, necessary to our very existence, though it is often goes unnoticed. Yet giving it attention can transform our lives.’ In The Breath, Vessantara, who has been meditating on the breath for over 40 years, writes engagingly for both newcomers and those with some experience. On this recording, he shows how to pay attention to the breath, helping listeners first of all to achieve a level of concentration and calm; and then introduces the widely used four-stage method of the mindfulness of breathing. A bell marks the practice periods when listeners can stop the recording and practise. But Vessantara offers much more than a simple explanation. In following chapters, he explains in a lucid yet entertaining way how to develop a regular and meaningful mindfulness of breathing meditation practice. He gives important advice on how to prepare for a session, how to sit comfortably, how to deal with mental and physical distractions. He also discusses the effects of the mindfulness of breathing practice - which can vary from a deep quietness to curious sensations to, more mundanely, times of boredom! And he explains how to work with different states of consciousness that can arise. Called Anapanasati in Pali, it is said that meditation on the breath was the Buddha's practice when he attained enlightenment. Whatever ensues, Vessantara declares, this deceptively simple discipline can have the long term effect of really changing your life for the better. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vessantara.

It is ours now and forever. We have found the secret of life! When your spouse dies or your children get sick or you lose your job, you can have a peace that you don't understand. You may have tears at a graveside, but you can have an abiding peace, a quietness. "God's peace can be in your heart - right now. Whatever the circumstances, whatever the call, whatever the duty, whatever the price, whatever the sacrifice - his strength will be your strength in your hour of need. "It's all yours, and it's free.
