  • What's wrong with right now: If you don't think about it

    Gilbert Schultz

    eBook
    This book has turned many seekers around and ended a tedious search for what they had been overlooking, for many decades in some cases. This book is packed with mind stopping pointers, that enable a recognition to take place. Primarily, what can be recognized is that there is nothing to acquire or achieve regarding the search for meaning. What is necessary is the clearing away of erroneous beliefs and this can only happen via paying attention to all the ideas and concepts that appear to bind the individual into an illusion of seeking. There is no actual 'seeker', just an idea of a 'seeker', which has no possibility to transcend its own 'dogma'. The actual intelligence is already freely available and it is a series of insights that clear away the misunderstandings, which bind the mind into a tedious series of repeating patterns (of belief). I produced this book as a first edition in 2001 because I recognized its potency and because one of the pointers demolished the activity of belief. Belief is never something real but one does not suspect this is so. When belief is dissolved, the unrelenting fact of being shines forth, unencumbered by the dullness of beliefs and misunderstandings. I will not try to convince you of the value of these pointers because your belief in what I or anyone else says is more or less useless to you. You must come to KNOW for yourself and discover your own self contained true nature. No one can do it for you. - Gilbert Schultz, Author of this book.

  • The Pirates of Penzance

    William S. Gilbert

    MP3 CD (IDB Productions, Jan. 1, 2015)
    Learning About Duty And Love In The Comic Opera The Pirates Of PenzanceOne of the most famous comic operas of the 19th century is without a doubt The Pirates of Penzance by W.S. Gilbert. and music composed by Arthur Sullivan. This opera was the first Sullivan and Gilbert collaboration to be introduced in the US first, as the state didn’t offer copyrights to foreigners. However, due to problems in London with their previous success H.M.S. Pinafore having authorization productions mounted and no royalties paid, they decided to open in the US.The story is about a young lad named Frederic who has been serving as an apprentice to a band of “tender-hearted” pirates for 21 years. Soon after his 21st birthday he meets a beautiful young woman called Mabel, who is also the daughter of the renowned Major General Stanley, and they fall in love with each other right away. However, it appears that Frederic got things wrong as he later finds out that he was born on the 29th of February. Technically, that means that he has just one birthday every lap year. In his indenture it is specified that he must serve until his 21st birthday, which means that he will have to serve for 63 more years.Mabel is devastated when she hears that Frederic is bound to serve that long, especially with his sense of loyalty preventing him from running away. She promises that she will wait for him, and from here things just take a different turn. The broken-hearted woman will turn to the police, the pirates will attack Major-General and the end will most likely amuse everyone.So read about loyalty, true love and a series of funny events that will keep you laughing to the end in The Pirates of Penzance; or, the Slave of Duty.
  • Fifty Bab Ballads: Much Sound and Little Sense

    William Schwenck Gilbert, W. S. Gilbert

    Paperback (Dodo Press, June 1, 2007)
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836-1911) was an English dramatist, librettist and illustrator best known for his fourteen comic operas produced in collaboration with the composer Sir Arthur Sullivan, of which the most famous include H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, and one of the most frequently performed works in the history of musical theatre, The Mikado. Gilbert was born in Strand, London and was educated at Boulogne, France and then at the Great Ealing School and King's College London. He wrote a variety of stories, comic rants, theatre reviews and, under the pseudonym "Bab" (his childhood nickname), illustrated poems for several comic magazines, primarily Fun. The poems, illustrated humourously by Gilbert, proved immensely popular and were reprinted in book form as The Bab Ballads (1869-73). His plays and realistic style of stage direction inspired other dramatists, including Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw.
