Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awareness
AWARENESS was a very thought provoking piece of literature.
It is beneficial toward promoting expansion beyond limited
concepts of belief and behaviour. One is drawn into the
difference between Authority as experience and consciousness
and authoritative as those who tell us what to think rather than
how to think. The book was in excellent condition.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Don't bother, unless you are willing to consider the truth!
This is not for those content with their status quo! Father de Mello leaves no stone unturned to ruffle feathers about our "reality existence." But, if you are a true seeker, there is no better book than his to contemplate.Love and Immortality: Long Journey of My Heart



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I'm happy I became aware of "Awareness" because it's amazing!
I'm a big fan of Eckhart Tolle and became aware of "Awareness" by word of mouth from other Tolle fans. I couldn't put the book down; read it in one sitting. As I was reading, I tripped out that the author was actually a priest! His style of writing is straight to the point, "in your face." Picture a highly energetic motivational speaker who genuinely wants you to change for the better; well that's what I pictured. He speaks the truth bluntly. It'll open your eyes, make you see things from a totally new angle.

Although I love Tolle's "The Power of Now," for someone who's new to this, I would recommend reading "Awareness" first because it's much easier to understand. I had to read Tolle's books a few times before I really had an understanding. And if you're already familiar and enjoyed Tolle's works, you will surely enjoy this. "Awareness" covers a lot of material that Tolle goes over: disidentifying with thoughts, labeling, presence (not covered in depth like Tolle though), and more. But Anthony covers the material in a different, more down-to-earth type style. If you had trouble understanding Tolle, "Awareness" could probably help you have a better understanding.

You can easily find live recordings online of Anthony speaking to an audience. He's not highly energetic as I had in mind, but he doesn't need to be. There's surely some magical quality when Anthony speaks. If you check out the audience, you'll notice that they are all giving Anthony their full undivided attention. They're transfixed, hanging on his every word. "Awareness" is actually a transcription of his live talks. Just like how the audience is transfixed seeing Anthony live, you too will be transfixed reading the words just like how I was. Amazing read!




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awareness by Anthony de Mello
Awareness was recommended by a friend who has bought more than 10 books to give away to friends. It is a great way to understand how your mind can torment you and keep you in addictions of all kinds. A good book to reread often to help move forward in emotional wellbeing.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Catholicim marries Hinduism has child
I loved this book and it has a lot of helpful advice for anyone who is struggling to be happy. It has helped at least two of my friends and myself to focus on what DeMello calls being "aware" or understanding why things make you happy or unhappy and how to overcome the unhappy times.

It has some excellent opinions about love as letting the object be free, rather than what many call love which is really manipulation, control, and covetness.

On paper, the Mio DigiWalker P550 looks to be an attractive gadget for the mobile professional, combining the capabilities of a PDA and GPS into one device. However, its poor battery life and subpar navigation skills tell a different story.

Though it won't appeal to the masses quite yet, the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is a nice, portable device for on-the-go Web browsing, and it has some worthy upgrades.

Though it has a few design and performance glitches, the Sony Ericsson W300i is a quality, basic MP3 cell phone.

Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.

But now, thanks to the oft-reported combo of newly-raised CAFE standards, not-so-newly-raised gas prices, and the 50-state diesel engine, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are about to dip more than a hesitant toe into the diesel game. Chrysler offers a diesel in the Grand Cherokee, but soon all three automakers will offer diesels in their best-selling lineups of light trucks -- the Dodge Ram 1500 is expected to offer a 50-state diesel after 2009. Light trucks are being used to lead the charge since those buyers stand to gain the most with the least amount of (perceived) sacrifice.

Diesels currently have 3.2-percent of the American market. Some estimates put them at 15-percent by 2015. That's a huge leap, and diesel still has plenty of hurdles. Diesels will come with a cost premium over gasoline-engined cars. That should be easy enough to conquer -- incentives and some quick cost and longevity calculations should convince people of the benefit. The real hurdle is the nagging issue of perception. The plan will probably be to attack that with a price that makes the proposition unbeatable. Said Chrysler's director of environmental affairs, "If it's priced right, we can sell diesel here. Diesel can give you an immediate poke in fuel economy -- 20 to 40 percent. Not many technologies can deliver that today."
