This book establishes that the ancient Greeks had a prevailing method of doing philosophy which was rooted in philosophical realism. Through extensive historical and philosophical analysis, it demonstrates that this method was challenged in ancient times by an apocryphal notion of philosophy which eventually became confused with philosophical reasoning, and was passed on to posterity through the work of Christian theologians until it was called into question by leading thinkers of the thirteenth century. It shows how this thirteenth-century challenge influenced the growth of the Renaissance humanist movement and how this movement, in turn, passed on to modernity the same apocryphal notion of philosophy as a rhetorical theology of allegorical prefiguration.

Homer’s Odyssey holds a timeless allure. It is an ancient story for every generation: the struggle of a man on a long and difficult voyage longing to return to love and family. Odysseus’s strivings to overcome both divine and earthly obstacles and to control his own impulsive nature hold valuable lessons for us as we confront the challenges of daily life. Sailing Home breathes fresh air into a classic we thought we knew, revealing its profound guidance for the modern seeker. Dividing the book into three parts—“Setting Forth,” “Disaster,” and “Return”—Fischer charts the course of Odysseus’s familiar wanderings. Readers come to see this ancient hero as a flawed human being who shares their own struggles and temptations, such as yielding to desire or fear or greed, and making peace with family. Featuring thoughtful meditations, illuminating anecdotes from Fischer’s and his students’ lives, and stories from many wisdom traditions including Buddhist, Judaic, and Christian, Sailing Home shows the way to greater purpose in our own lives. The book’s literary dimension expands its appeal beyond the Buddhist market to a wider spiritual audience and to anyone interested in the teachings of myth and story.

* Mesmerizing symbols that change everything and long reverberate in your conscience calling you to do what is right. * Thought-provoking truthapedia - a survivor's blueprint to being in integrity with all of life. * A quintessential handbook to right living based on ancient, timeless principles. * Trance inducing symbols that bypass the mind and its defenses taking you to the magic of subconscious wisdom, working their enchantment - transforming you in ordinary to extraordinary ways Symbol Odyssey: Guidebook to the 108 Uncompromising Principles of Wisdom and Truth encourages the reader to embrace and interact with archetypal symbols representing each of the universal laws. This visually stimulating book has paired ancient to modern, and even newly created, symbols to each of the long-existent 108 undeviating universal principles of wisdom and truth. In the book's layout, every one of the 108 laws is briefly defined. Each principle has a carefully selected symbol that carries a vital force that visually and energetically represents the truth and wisdom of the law. Generously peppered throughout the book are profound, philosophical, meaningful, and/or witty quotes to further illustrate the meaning of each law and its illuminating symbol or image. How is the book to be used? For example, take a moment and imagine reflecting on the majestic Seal of Shamash symbol, which is paired with the Law of Delegation. Embedded in this universal symbol is the knowledge the Law of Delegation illustrates, "Source assigned mankind stewardship of the heavens and earth to reflect back the wonders of creation. All souls are asked to act collectively in sacred trust to wisely manage and preserve a sustainable earth community and to care for all of creation." As you reflect upon and communicate with the symbol, ask yourself, "How can I embrace the Law of Delegation and do my part in caring for the earth and all of creation?" Indeed, the Law of Delegation is aptly summed up by Einstein, "A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." The underlying purpose of the book is for the reader to continuously use the book as a resource leading to individual and collective soul triumphs as each of the 108 uncompromising principles of wisdom and truth are embraced and lived, setting the stage for an ordinary life to be lived extraordinarily.

William Cowper was born 26th November 1731 in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire. Traumatically he and his brother, John, were the only survivors, out of seven, to survive infancy. His mother died when he was six. His education, after several temporary schools, was stabilised at Westminster school. Here he established several life-long friendships and a dedication to Latin. Upon leaving he was articled to a solicitor in London and spent almost a decade training in Law. In 1763 he was offered a Clerkship of Journals in the House of Lords. With the examinations approaching Cowper had a mental breakdown. He tried to commit suicide three times and a period of depression and insanity seemed to settle on him. The end of this unhappy period saw him find refuge in fervent evangelical Christianity, and it was also the inspiration behind his much-loved hymns. This led to a collaboration with John Newton in writing 'Olney Hymns'. However dark forces were about to overwhelm Cowper. In 1773, he experienced a devastating attack of insanity, believing that he was eternally condemned to hell, and that God was instructing him to make a sacrifice of his own life. With great care and devotion his friend, Mary Unwin, nursed him back to health. In 1781 Cowper had the good fortune to meet a widow, Lady Austen, who inspired a new bout of poetry writing. Cowper himself tells of the genesis of what some have considered his most substantial work, 'The Task'. In 1786 he began his translations from the Greek into blank verse of Homer's 'The Iliad' and 'The Odyssey'. These translations, published in 1791, were the most significant since those of Alexander Pope earlier in the century. Mary Unwin died in 1796, plunging Cowper into a gloom from which he never fully recovered though he did continue to write. William Cowper was seized with dropsy and died on 25th April 1800.
