  • 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.
  • The first authoritative biography of Babaji, the immortal master made famous by Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi. Babaji lives today near Badrinath, in the upper Himalayan mountains. His body has not aged since the age of sixteen, when centuries ago he attained the supreme state of enlightenment and divine transformation. This followed his initiation into scientific art of Kriya Yoga by two deathless masters, the siddhas Agastyar and Boganathar, who belonged to the "18 Siddha Tradition", famous among the Tamil speaking people of southern India. This rare account, by a long time disciple, reveals their little known stories, ancient culture and present mission, as well as how their Kriya Yoga can be used to bring about the integration of the material and spiritual dimensions of life.

  • Pele, the volcano Goddess of ancient Hawai'i, is still openly revered and worshipped in the islands. Her personification has evolved from a rich heritage of mythology and lore of her exploits introduced to the Western world by W.D. Westervelt. First published in 1916, there are also adventurous tales of Pele's sister Hi'iaka with mortals such as the handsome chiefs Kahawaii and Lohiau and the love affair with the half-man, half-pig demigod Kamapua'a. The powerful conflicts between Pele and Poliahu, the snow goddess, and Hi'iaka and the many mo'o (supernatural water creatures) are recounted with great dramatic suspense. Cover art by Brian Ibaan.

  • A Course in Miracles is s et of three books that teach that the way to remember God is by undoing guilt through forgiving others. The Course originated in  1965 in response to a request of two psychologists to find another way of relating to others.  Many refer to the Course as the "Third Testament,"believing that it represents the same basic theology of the Bible, although in a more spiritually evolved form.  The essential characteristic of the Course that lies at the core of our differences is that it is a non-dualistic spirituality . Christianity, as Judaism before it, is a dualistic thought system in which God and the world, spirit and matter co-exist as separate states, both of which are real. Reality is thus seen to be a dimension of opposites - as with good and evil - in marked distinction from the Course's understanding of reality as being only perfect unity in which there are no opposites. Kenneth Wapnick and Rev. W. Norris Clarke, S.J., priest, philosopher, theologian, and Professor Emeritus from Fordham University, engage in this dialogue in order to identify the radical differences, as well as the similarities, between the thought systems of A Course in Miracles and biblical Christianity.
