Athlete. Runner. Marathoner. Are these words you wouldn't exactly use to describe yourself? Do you consider yourself too old or too out of shape to run a marathon? But somewhere deep inside have you always admired the people who could reach down and come up with the mental and physical strength to complete such a daunting and rewarding accomplishment? It doesn't have to be somebody else crossing the finish line. You can be a marathoner. The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer is based on the highly successful marathon class offered by the University of Northern Iowa, which was featured in a Runner's World article titled "Marathoning 101." The class has been offered five times over 10 years, and all but one student finished the marathon. That is approximately 200 students -- all first time marathoners and many with absolutely no running background. This book follows the same 16-week, four-day-a-week workout plan. What makes the success rate of this program so much higher than any other? The special emphasis on the psychological aspects of endurance activities. You don't have to love to run -- you don't even have to like it -- but you have to realize that you are capable of more than you have ever thought possible. One participant in the program explained it like this: "I'm doing this for me -- not for others or the time clock. I just feel better when I run, plus it helps me to cope with things in general. The skills we've learned in this class don't apply just to marathoning -- they apply to life! Just like you never know what the next step in a marathon will bring, so too, you never know what will happen next in life. But if you don't keep going, you're never going to find out. By staying relaxed, centered, and positive you handle just about anything that comes your way." This is marathon running for real people, people with jobs and families and obligations outside of running. The Non-Runner's Marathon Trainer has proven successful for men and women of all ages. Now let it work for you.

An intimate account of a spiritual seeker, The Audacity of Freedom takes the reader on an amazing journey from Sal's early childhood of being turned away from God, his ensuing life as a rock musician and through all of his travels to India and elsewhere, meeting and living with genuine masters, having mystical experiences and revelations and finally to the simple recognition of that which has always been here, freedom.¿At the age of thirty-nine, Salvadore Poe was thrust to his knees in a desperate plea for help. This moment came after years as a rock 'n roll musician and excessive drug use. In this moment of complete surrender, his life changed completely and he was cast one-pointedly and earnestly on the spiritual path, driven by a burning question, "What is liberation?"To find an answer to his question, Sal sought out teachers and masters in USA, Europe and India, read every book he could get his hands on, meditated for countless hours, lived with two Indian gurus and had numerous mystical experiences until he was finally ready to hear a very simple message. With this message, his path was finished.In The Audacity of Freedom you will not only read about these experiences, but will come to know what was revealed by them and hear the clear message of freedom within them. That message is-freedom is for you. HAVE IT!This book can help you along your own path of discovery. Compelling, exciting and revelatory, you will not be able to put this book down.

In this remarkable book, Salvadore Poe guides you step by step to awakening. There are numerous books that talk about spiritual awakening and enlightenment. And while reading any of them, you may be inspired, and you may be impressed with the wisdom of the author, but you don't awaken. You just add more concepts and beliefs to your mind about what enlightenment is, and this keeps you seeking for answers and resolution.Liberation IS, The End of the Spiritual Path is different. It is intended as a final push for those who are ready to be finished seeking. Through inquiries and experiments, you are guided to recognize your free essential being, and what is revealed in that recognition is that you are whole and complete, lacking nothing, exactly as you are now. When this is clearly seen and becomes doubtless, seeking ends naturally, by itself.
