  • For centuries, changes in science, historical thinking and philosophy have eroded traditional religious dogma and there was the chance that man could find himself quite alone and without resources except that which he can muster from within.  But there has also been  a new flow of thought as religion breaks free of the outworn, supernatural beliefs that presently stifle it. Based  on a BBC television series.
  • Atlantis...Avalon..Lemuria and Lyonesse; the country of the Amazons, the kingdom of Prester John and the realm of the Queen of Sheba...

  • If you want to have a life rather than existence, then learn to be bold - learn how to give and receive praise.  Giving praise can change your life and the lives of those around you, but most of us have no idea how to give or receive it! Praise costs nothing, takes practically no time and is available to all. It would be considered a crime to allow someone to go six days without food, yet we let people go sixty days, sixty weeks, sixty years without praise or recognition. The power of praise will encourage you to embrace change, take risks, fail and try again, act on your dreams and believe in yourself.
  • New perspectives from an old friend...and gentle reminders that we have a say in our destiny.  To have the life we want, we must embrace and move with Their vision. The secret to manifesting change is not to focus on the how - but to focus on  what it is you want and to live as if you already had it. Then the entire Universe will conspire on your behalf, rearranging the players and circumstances of your life to so-called 'accidents', coincidences and luck.
  • There may come a time when your idea of natural health will clash head-on with drugs, hospital and medical machinery and your natural way of looking after yourself rarely survives the impact. One in five Europeans have been to an alternative health practitioner; one in four shops in health shops. One in three of the US population uses unconventional therapies of some kind. But do they need to abandon all that as soon as they land in hospital?  Dr. Fulder believes that health products and practices are not just for the healthy; more, they have a vital role in coping with conventional medical treatments.  Here is a guide to surviving it all, getting the best out of your medical treatment and keeping your natural health attitude.
  • Do you feel 'spaced out' after using strong household cleaners or a photocopier? Do you feel sick while having your car filled up with petrol or do you love the smell and can't get enough of it? Do you get headaches or ache all over after a day in the city? Since World War Two, our bodies have been assaulted by a barrage of previously unknown physical hazards — thousands of new chemicals in our air, water and food; electromagnetic radiation and changes in ultra-violet light conditions. This book explains how chemical sensitivities can have a profound and alarming effect on our social, emotional and intellectual development. It also discusses what we can do about it. The book offers a range of sensible and practical precautions we can take to minimize our chemical exposure, and encourages us to choose the least chemically hazardous options — or demand that satisfactory alternatives be made available.

  • Eben Alexander teams up with the sages of times past, modern scientists, and with ordinary people who have had profound spiritual experiences to show the reality of heaven and our true identities as spiritual beings, taking a broad view to reveal how modern science is on the verge of the most profound revolution in recorded history - all around the phenomenon of consciousness itself. When Dr. Eben Alexander told the story of his near-death experience and his vivid journey to the other side, many readers wrote to say it resonated with them profoundly. Thanks to them, Dr. Alexander realized that sharing his story allowed people to rediscover what so many in ancient times there is more to life, and the to the universe, than this single earthly life. Alexander and his co-author Ptolemy Tompkins were surprised to see how often his readers’ visions of the afterlife synced up with each other and with those of the world’s spiritual leaders, as well as its philosophers and scientists. Here, they share the stories people have told him and shows how they are echoed both in the world’s faiths and in its latest scientific insights. It turns out there is much agreement, across time and terrain, about the journey of the soul and its survival beyond death.

  • Since Nostradamus' predictions first appeared in the sixteenth century, his reputation as the world's most renowned scholar and seer has grown and continues to grow. Many of his prophecies have come true with startling accuracy; the Great Fire of London, the rise of Hitler, the execution of Charles 1, the Vietnam war and more; others are more obscure and seem to have not yet been fulfilled. Cheetham is regarded as being the foremost authority on Nostradamus and made his prophecies her life work; continually re-reading, studying and reviewing, offering different possible interpretations of the hundreds of quatrains, all of which were written in code and in four different languages.

  • This is the story of a journey. It is the eagerly anticipated and altogether startling culmination of Shirley MacLaine's extraordinary -- and ultimately rewarding -- road through life. The riveting odyssey began with a pair of anonymous handwritten letters imploring Shirley to make a difficult pilgrimage along the Santiago de Compostela Camino in Spain. Throughout history, countless illustrious pilgrims from all over Europe have taken up the trail. It is an ancient -- and allegedly enchanted -- pilgrimage. People from St. Francis of Assisi and Charlemagne to Ferdinand and Isabella to Dante and Chaucer have taken the journey, which comprises a nearly 500-mile trek across highways, mountains and valleys, cities and towns, and fields. Now it would be Shirley's turn. For Shirley, the Camino was both an intense spiritual and physical challenge. A woman in her sixth decade completing such a grueling trip on foot in thirty days at twenty miles per day was nothing short of remarkable. But even more astounding was the route she took back thousands of years, through past lives to the very origin of the universe. Through a range of astonishing and liberating visions and revelations, Shirley saw into the meaning of the cosmos, including the secrets of the ancient civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria, insights into human genesis, the essence of gender and sexuality, and the true path to higher love.

  • Nothing can match the explosive energy created in the body by pure desire. For millennia, Tantric adepts have harnessed this force as a means of attaining the summits of the mystical life. The energies fueled by passion are used to nourish the inner flame that burns away the egotistical perception of the mind.  This is an exploration of the subtle techniques of Tantra that enable the seeker to attain the triple mastery of the breath, thought, and the natural processes of the body. Tantrics believe that the body is the temple and divinity lies at its heart. In order to arrive at profound awareness, the body needs to be perfectly tuned and working toward a state of perfect fluidity. Desire reveals many of the secret practices intended for this purpose that have been passed down in the major Tantric treatises such as the Vijnanabhariva Tantra and Ch'an master Chinul's treatise on the Secrets of Cultivating the Mind, including the important techniques of the ritual sexual observances known as Maithuna.
  • In this inspirational work, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer demonstrates how to restore a life balance by offering nine principles to align thoughts to correspond to desires. Imagine a balance scale with one end weighted down to the ground, and the other end - featuring the objects of your desires - sticking up precariously in the air. This scale is a measurement of your thoughts. To restore the same balance that characterises everything in our universe, you have to take up the weighty thoughts so that they match up to your desires. The seasons reflect the overall harmony of life. For example, winter passes and the blossoms emerge. This is balanced by a need to have the trees rest, so autumn arrives on time and helps the trees ready themselves for another period of repose. This book is dedicated to the idea that we’re a vital component of this creative process and have within ourselves the wherewithal to create all that we want if we recognize and revise out-of-balance thoughts.
