Paperback. Condition: Good. A combination of wisdom teachings and memoir, Navigating the River of Time shares incidents from the life of a confused but gifted young man who journeys halfway around the world and back in search of enlightenment, only to find his spiritual teacher in his own hometown. It's a tapestry that brings together years of meditation practice with day-to-day practical living. As a young man, the author encountered scores of spiritual teachers who spoke about love, peace, and pathways to enlightenment. They told him to chant, to study the Bible or the Bhagavad Gita or other sacred texts, to live on esoteric diets, light incense and pray, but had no answers when asked, How does one quiet the mind? How does one overcome the anxiety, depression, emotional quicksand, and internal chaos that keeps one from being happy? How does one live in a place like New York City and have a spiritual life? There had to be a practical way of integrating wisdom with everyday living, and the author describes how he searched for and found it. The author of Navigating the River of Time shares personal moments from his life and integrates them with concrete methods of spiritual development. He shows the reader that the path to enlightenment can begin in the tenement districts of the South Bronx. The author firmly believes that if he could do it, anyone on earth can. We're all born with the tools: mind, breath, chakras, need, will, and gratitude. We just have to learn how to use them. The esoteric needs to be made practical, and Navigating the River of Time is a guidebook that can open doors to inner peace and happiness. …

Paperback. Condition: New. James Laughlin-poet, ladies' man, heir to a steel fortune, and the founder of New Directions-was still at work on his autobiography when he died at 83. He left behind personal files crammed with memories and memorabilia: in "M" he is taking Marianne Moore to Yankee games (outings captured here in charming snapshots) to discuss "arcane mammals," and in "N" nearly plunging off a mountain, hunting butterflies with Nabokov ("Volya was a doll in a very severe upper-crust Russian way").With an accent on humor, The Way It Wasn't is a scrapbook loaded with ephemera-letters and memories, clippings and photographs. This richly illustrated album glitters like a magpie's nest, if a magpie could have known Tennessee Williams, W.C. Williams, Merton, Miller, Stein, and Pound. In "C": "I wish that nice Jean Cocteau were still around. He took me to lunch at the Grand Véfours in the Palais-Royal and explained all about flying saucers. He understood mechanical things. He would advise me." In "P": "There was not much 'gracious living' in Pittsburgh, where at one house, the butler passed chewing gum on a silver salver after coffee." And: "The world is full of a large number of irritating people." In "H" there's Lillian Hellman: "What a raspy character. When I knocked at her door to try to borrow one of her books (hoping to butter her up) she only opened her door four inches and said words to the effect: 'Fuck off, you rapist.'" Marketing in "M": "I think it's important to get the 'troubadours' into the title. That's a 'buy-me' word." In "G": "Olga asked Allen Ginsberg if he was also buying Pound Conference T-shirts for his grandchildren. She was most lovable throughout." In "L": "Wyndham Lewis wrote 'Why don't you stop New Directions, your books are crap.'" And we find love in "L": "Cicero noted that an old love pinches like a crab." But in The Way It Wasn't James Laughlin's love of the crazy world and his crazier authors does not pinch a bit: it glows with wit and enlarges our feeling for the late great twentieth century.…
