For the Earth to move to the next vibration, says RichardGrossinger, consciousness must change in profound ways, and theseinvolve core elements of humanity: evil, grief, bliss, andcompassion. 2013 locates these elements in often unlikely placesand seeks their nature and capacity for change. With playfulnessand precision, 2013 tackles the questions of creation and existencein their twenty-first-century incarnation. In these intellectualfield notes, the author’s absorbing style combines memoir withscientific deconstruction, metaphysical ontology, and experimentalprose that recalls the Black Mountain school to draw transcendentalinsight from the ephemeral space-time we call daily life. Movingwith equal ease between matters cosmic and earthly, Grossingerdetails existence as an exhilarating adventure always pushing ustoward a higher state in this wide-ranging, humorous, and heartfeltbook. Including an informal course in psychic development, 2013sheds light on the ephemera of planets and iPods, politics an

佛教称人生为一大苦难场，生、老、病、死都是人的一辈子必须承受的折磨，所以希望人看破红尘，对人生不要有什么留恋。与此相反，道教则对现实的生命极为看重，因为它认为，人只有有了生命，才能享受人世的种种乐趣。如晋代道教学者葛洪就说：“凡人之所汲汲者，势利嗜欲也。苟我身之不全，虽高官重权，金玉成山，妍艳万千，非我有也。”唐代道士司马承祯更是直截了当地说∶“生者天之大德也，地之大乐也，人之大福也。”正因为道教重视生命，所以他们特别注重生命质量的提高，所谓生命质量的提高，就是让生命排除生、老、病、死的干扰，更好、更多地享受生命。也正是为了提高这一生命质量，道士们在几千年的修炼实践中，摸索出了种类繁多、行之有效的道教养生术。

Conceived originally as a serious presentation of thedevelopment of philosophy for Catholic seminary students,Frederick Copleston's nine-volume A History Of Philosophyhas journeyed far beyond the modest purpose of its authorto universal acclaim as the best history of philosophyin English. Copleston, an Oxford Jesuit of immense erudition who oncetangled with A. J. Ayer in a fabled debate about theexistence of God and the possibility of metaphysics, knewthat seminary students were fed a woefully inadequatediet of theses and proofs, and that their familiarity with most of history's great thinkers was reduced tosimplistic caricatures. Copleston set out to redress thewrong by writing a complete history of Western philosophy,one crackling with incident and intellectual excitement --and one that gives full place to each thinker, presenting histhought in a beautifully rounded manner and showing hislinks to those who went before and to those who came after him.
