'Nature is Everything'-'Seeds of Wisdom for the Maturing Intellect'-Book 2, is an enlivening presentation of our sensory world of phenomena. Our sentient configuration, in whatever form it may take, is the very consequence of a collaborative union; it is based upon the relation and combination of substances-inorganic matter, in the form of emergent physical frameworks governed by the conditioned interactions of elemental substances, and organic matter, in view of life-elements subjected to processes of natural selection. Thus, our sensory body-along with associated sensory-events-is none other than the product of interplay between its reflective elements (of subjective sense-bases) and the projective elements (of objective sense-stimuli), in terms of Nature's substances that pertain to the relative dimension of 'life and being'. However, it must be emphasized that the substratum underlying the existence of all spatial bodies of relativity is the primordial essence of LOVE. This book, in particular, intends to elucidate the unfolding story of LIFE-in its magnanimous splendor-from brilliance to darkness. Every phenomenon-from the infinitesimal to the infinite-is the very unobstructed interpenetration and engagement of all phenomena. We call this the universe of implicate order! In addition, it is a profound telling of the advent of man empowered with the potential to surpass his innate instinctual tendencies. Yes, this unique being, endowed with an upright and adaptable physique along with a psyche powered by volition, reason, and imagination, is looked upon as the determinant of unfolding human time operating in tandem with nature's sublime moral principles of 'equality and reciprocity'. All in all, it is my fervent hope that this book, upon your reading and its completion, will arouse deeper curiosity, appreciation, and admiration for all that we experience as the wondrous nature of LIFE!
Nelunika Gunawardena Rajapakse is a proud citizen of her world having been long in residence-nearly five decades-in the United States. Mentored all along by her resolutely dedicated Montessori pedagogue mother-and, together, having worked in partnership for three decades- Nelunika is a proud beneficiary of an experientially founded, intellectual legacy. She boasts a rich, cumulative history of exemplary Montessori in practice for over forty years, having been the head directress, administrator, and chief operating officer of the much admired Bainbridge Solon Montessori School (1970-2012) that served scores of children and parents in Ohio, USA. The author, above and beyond all things, cherishes her morally grounded 'lived and learned' upbringing under the nurturing guidance of her parents. Nelunika's life idols, accordingly, are her parents who epitomized, through every breath of their existence, the compassionate values that remain central and universal to the great scheme called 'existence'. In observation of this view, all things, indeed, possess intrinsic richness; they call for equal value and respect-shunning egocentric norms, labels, and attitudes. Nelunika, in turn, reflects on living a spiritually rich life through every breath of her own existence. She realizes that improvement and enrichment in sustaining values 'as a help to life'-to all that compose life-requires patience and mindful effort, hand in hand. Hence, maintaining a selfless cultivated awareness is crucial to life's overall success. The aspiration to guide others in the direction of true peace and eternal joy, thus, is Nelunika's heartfelt wish. Presently, the author lives her renewed and pioneering vision along her steadfast mission to 'Raise the Position of Today's Child and the World' while sharing her 'Vision for Intellectual Wellness for all Ages'. As such, she disseminates her wisdom and expertise through the creation of invaluable time- stamps of her life-experience. In this day and age of confused human values and ideals, Nelunika stands passionately upon her convictions-to improve the human condition by way of books, videos, blogs, and dedicated websites. Additionally, Nelunika Gunawardena Rajapakse is a devoted professional trainer, and a mentor for parents-engaged in sharing her expertise by way of lectures, seminars, consultations, and continuous guidance to organizations, schools, individuals, and diverse social groups. She is the author of Eleven books:
