An Open Window
‘Movement on the spiritual path necessarily involves taking light into the dark corners of our psyche, and it is there that dreams provide an open window into the inner reality’. In the early years of the twentieth century, Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung proposed that, more often than not, dreams represent those thoughts and memories which are unbearably painful and have been relegated to the realm of the unconscious. Unlocking the meanings in these dreams can help people free their mind and feelings from irrational desires, fears and insecurities. This brief but profound book assails the conventional understanding of dreams and their interpretation, drawing attention to a much-neglected aspect of dreams as a source of guidance for the spiritual aspirant. It uses the insights of psychology, but transcends it, to confront the inescapable questions most people should be driven by: What is the purpose of life, and does it all end with death? Laying bare dreams of childhood anxiety, traumas and sexuality – ‘cleaning the windows’ to uncover the deeply buried material that blocks our efforts on the inner path – it then invites contention from ‘materialists’ in its discussion of subjects beyond psychology, such as precognitive dreams, reincarnation, out-of-the-body experiences, death dreams, and numinous or ‘big dreams’- ‘an open window’ through which deeper, non-physical levels of reality can shine. Drawing on examples from real life, Sri Madhava Ashish teaches the ‘language of dreams, ensuring a better understanding and awareness of the unconscious self, guiding the reader on the path to mental and spiritual freedom.

In "The Pleasures of Ignorance," Robert Lynd showcases a series of essays that blend a reflective tone with a sharp wit, inviting readers to contemplate the value of knowledge juxtaposed with the bliss found in ignorance. This work, steeped in the early 20th-century literary context, is marked by Lynd'Äôs lush prose and keen observations on the complexities of modern life, exposing the paradoxical comforts of not knowing. It resonates with themes of simplicity versus complexity, positioning ignorance as a fertile ground for imagination and joy, challenging the prevailing ethos of an increasingly information-saturated society. Robert Lynd, an influential English essayist and critic, was deeply entrenched in the socio-political milieu of his time, which significantly shaped his worldview and literary output. His background in journalism and his interest in philosophy and literature enabled him to explore broader implications of knowledge and its limitations. Lynd'Äôs reflections often stemmed from his personal experiences, accentuating his belief that an unexamined life can lead to profound contentment and creativity, thus forging a unique space in the intellectual debates of the era. Readers seeking a thought-provoking yet playful exploration of the human condition will find "The Pleasures of Ignorance" both enjoyable and enlightening. Lynd'Äôs elegant prose not only entertains but also invites reflection on the paradoxes inherent in our quests for knowledge and understanding.
