Books with author William Gilbert

This is the third edition of 'What's wrong with right now'. 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.

A lighthearted burlesque of Victorian English culture and the vagaries of love, The Mikado offers an ideal matching of William Schwenck Gilbert's elegant comedic gifts with Arthur Sullivan's agile and refined musicianship. The tale unfolds amid a fanciful version of Japanese society, in which a wandering minstrel has the misfortune to fall in love with the beautiful ward of the Lord High Executioner of Titipu.The sparkling lyrics and witty dialogue of this comic masterpiece are as much a delight to read as they are to hear with musical accompaniment. The complete libretto is reprinted in this edition from the standard performance text of The Mikado, complete with nine charming illustrations drawn by W. S. Gilbert himself.
