Equally, it will only bring you further calamity if you fail to become its master… You alone can decide what is to spring forth from the seed of your suffering! – Only when you cease looking backwards and see the tasks which lie ahead will you harvest the blessings of suffering! – Your destiny wants something from you, whenever it leads you through pain and suffering! – Every experience of suffering is both an end and a new beginning. If you tarry too long at the end, you will paralyse the best strength within you destined to help you make a new start! - THE BOOK OF COMFORT CONTENTS: On suffering and comfort. On the Teachings of Suffering. On Every Manner of Folly. On the Comforting Power of Work. On Comfort for those Who Mourn. The Standard-translation© into English __________________________________________________________________ What I have to say is beyond belief and disbelief! I'm not a prophet who needs "confessors" – nor a fighter, who is looking for "followers" behind him, but only a mediator of spiritual insights about the real home of mankind. My writings shouldn't be "believed" but taken up objectively, to awaken innermost experience. – ABOUT MY WRITINGS Countless people – and in truth not just those whose souls are the most frigid – continually await an immense experience to shake their innermost depths. Since all their longing is incapable of summoning up this experience, they rush restlessly searching from experience to experience, caught up in the delusion that the hoped for experience is bound to be attained, if they could only locate the powerful phenomenon capable of overpowering their souls with its immensity. – SHOWING THE WAY A yearning is passing through the world, – a consuming desire, – and every soul not yet completely hardened and incapable of awakening feels gripped by it. (...) One ‘may’ once again believe in things which cannot been proven by 'experiments’, and one is no longer mocked for recognising that we are surrounded and influenced by the invisible, even if we cannot solve its mystery… The ‘miraculous’ would again become reality; the realm of faith extends its borders. – THE BOOK ON THE LIVING GOD The design of pages, emphases placed on particular words, use of spaces, long hyphens, exclamation marks etc. — included in this English translation enables ‘heart-Readers’ to meditate, to breathe-in while willingly absorbing the text as a ‘spiritual sustenance’. – Sarah Havah Theebaum, historian of ideas, painter, poet. __________________________________________________________________ Books to Light, Publisher Here are the main sites our books are currently available (look for Books to Light or for the Author's name): Amazon, for hardcopies and eBooks (regions available: US, UK, DE, FR, ES, IT, NL, JP, BR, CA, MX, AU, IN, PL) Google Books, for eBooks (regions available: AR, AT, AU, BE, BO, BR, BY, CA, CH, CL, CO, CR, CZ, DE, DK, DO, EC, EE, ES, FI, FR, GB, GR, GT, HK, HN, HU, ID, IE, IN, IT, JP, KG, KR, KZ, LT, LU, LV, MX, MY, NI, NL, NO, NZ, PA, PE, PH, PL, PT, PY, RO, RU, SE, SG, SK, SV, TH, TR, TW, UA, US, UY, UZ, VE, VN, ZA) PayHip, for PDFs (worldwide) Contact us at:
