Books about Sisyphus from Amazon.com

The Greek mythic figure of Sisyphus was condemned by the gods to a life of pushing a rock up a mountain, only to have it fall back down to the bottom, there to begin his labors again. His life of futility mirrors our life in the body and the hopelessness inherent in pursuing any meaning in the world. The first part of the book addresses this view as presented in A Course in Miracles, summarized in the idea that we can never be truly happy in the world because it is not our home. The second part discusses the transition from futility to happiness in the context of the Course s offering of another way of looking at our seeming fate, reflecting Camus important essay on Sisyphus, which he ended by stating, We must imagine Sisyphus happy. Through a change of mind brought about by changing our inner teacher from the ego to Jesus, our lives of futility are transformed into opportunities for unlearning the ego s thought system. A purposeless life of inherent meaninglessness thus metamorphoses into a meaningful classroom that leads us to the Heaven we never truly left. As with the other books in this series, The Practice of A Course in Miracles, From Futility to Happiness is presented as an aid in applying the Course s principles of forgiveness more meaningfully to our everyday lives, that they may become increasingly happy and less futile in our experience..

Could September 11's Flight 93 be the key to unraveling the entire 9-11 mystery? In Phantom Flight 93 - the first and only book to emerge from the 9-11 truth movement on this subject - you will discover how this event in Shanksville could very well be the smoking gun which exposes the government's falsehoods once and for all. Starting with physical evidence - especially a 10x12 foot crater in an abandoned strip mine - it becomes clear that a passenger jetliner could not have possibly crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania where federal officials said it did. Rather, the reality of that fateful morning is much more troublesome, and far more sinister. Also revealed in this book are a plethora of lies concerning the now-infamous cell phone calls purportedly made by individuals such as Todd Beamer, 9-11 passenger list oddities, corrupt officials who have been covering up this matter, and the many inexplicable anomalies surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks on America and the fate of Flight 93. For too long, Flight 93 has been overlooked by researchers and commentators in the alternative media. With the arrival of Phantom Flight 93, the public will finally see that they were deceived not only about the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon, but also about an unproven crash in southwest PA which became the stuff of legend, but was ultimately nothing more than a poorly executed hoax..
