Book SynopsisWhy was the mission to the Moon named after the God of the Sun, and not after a Moon Goddess or God? In this unconventional work, Philippe Sibaud explores the symbolism behind the 1969 landing on the Moon. More than fifty years after this seminal event, and whilst the Moon is attracting renewed interest, the author offers a bold new interpretation of the iconic Apollo mission. Was the Apollo landing the ultimate triumph of solar consciousness over the ancient lunar ways, a concrete enactment of the god Apollo mythically slaying the mother dragon at Delphi, or can the whole venture be seen as the sacred union of Sun and Moon, birthing a new vision at a time of great need? By weaving his own personal story with a greater cultural and symbolic narrative, Philippe Sibaud invites us to reflect on the importance of myths and the power of the Imagination to unlock the deeper meaning of our individual and collective experiences. You will never look at the Moon with the same eyes again.

Book SynopsisA chronicle of lived experience, this astonishing book is a biographical exposé, its ultimate theme the great battle of the last days, the final war between God and the Devil. Drawing on her journals, Valerie tells how, at the height of a successful career as writer and actress, she suddenly disappeared. An innocent seeker of God, unaware of the pitfalls, or the unrelenting opposition of the devil, Valerie had strayed into an Indian sect where its female guru, learning of her vocation to ‘write a book for God’, feared her as a potential whistleblower. Vowing to 'stop Valerie writing', she attacks her with magic and occult powers. Now, the writing of the book itself becomes the battlefield. Converted to Catholicism and escaped to France, Valerie is helped by an exorcist. And God, giving her the added vocation to pray for souls lost in sects, comes to her in the Eucharist, fighting alongside, granting moments lifted into bliss and finally breaking the bondage. Thirty years on, the past erased, experience with Valerie the inside story.

Book SynopsisDespite centuries of analyses and debates between scientists and philosophers, consciousness remains puzzling and controversial. It is the most familiar yet mysterious aspect of our lives. There might be different levels of consciousness, or different kinds of consciousness, or just one kind with different features. Modern research into the human brain is yet to provide conclusive answers, and we don’t know if animals, insects or plants are conscious, or even the universe itself. The contrasting range of research suggests that a new approach might be needed -- one that includes both an objective scientific view and a subjective philosophical and spiritual view -- in order to unlock the mystery. All Is One investigates how consciousness fits into a larger picture of the universe by exploring what science, philosophy, religion, and spirituality have to say on the matter, and offers a conclusive definition of consciousness that might satisfy both the scientifically oriented and spiritually oriented reader.

Book SynopsisHenry, a cockney arsonist and psychopath, was the catalyst to Vony’s enlightenment. Ironically, she started out as the teacher and ended up as Eliza Doolittle, the naïve student. Perhaps Henry’s unwitting mission was to help others by telling their story. Angry at a God following the death of a sibling, Vony initially rejected religion. Eventually she realized that religion, science and philosophy are compatible; without investigating them all, the answer to a meaningful life would be incomplete. As an exercise therapist teaching classes for psychiatric offenders, as well as in nursing homes for people living out their final furlong, Vony met Henry. In her work she encountered individuals of all ages with mental, physical and emotional disabilities in contrast to socializing with the rich and famous. She sought to understand them all through a looking glass of behavioral psychology, Bible studies, philosophy, poetry, Eastern religions, spiritualists, psychics and astrologers. Whatever their weaknesses or limitations, everyone is similar at their core, and the same universal, simple truths apply to finding a meaningful life for them all.

Would you know which way to turn if you suddenly felt betrayed by the company you worked for or by the leaders of your country?

Book SynopsisHave you ever stood beneath a majestic 300 year old oak tree and thought, this tree lived before I was born, and will be alive long after I'm dead? Have you ever wondered about such a tree might have witnessed during its long life, and thought, if only it could talk? This is the story of an oak tree, from birth to death. Using the tree as our witness, we see many small moments in history - moments that rippled outward to affect the world. Intimate family moments and tragedies all take place under the oak's shade. But the tree is more than a witness, it is connected to all the life around it. It, too, has its tragedies, its suffering, and times of renewal. After reading this, you won't think the same way about trees again.

Book SynopsisAn uplifting collection of spiritually illuminating texts and powerfully thought- provoking real life stories, showing death as an integral part of life. Modern medical advances have resulted in death and dying becoming a taboo, which leaves us feeling isolated when the inescapability of death touches our lives. These touching observations of closeness to someone else who is dying, and personal accounts of near death experiences and after-death communication, illustrate how coming to terms with the inevitability of death is actually a life-affirming experience. These emotionally powerful and inspirational experiences address timeless questions and help expand our limited awareness of the nature of consciousness. They show how each of the individuals concerned has come to understand that death teaches us that the preciousness of life must be lived with a sense of purpose and meaning, as a celebration of our existence.Trade Review'This is a glorious book. It is an antidote to the fear of death, the bugaboo that has terrorized humans since time immemorial. "Practicing Conscious Living and Dying" raises the power of story to its most majestic purpose, that of helping people live richer, fuller, more meaningful lives. A science of immortality is in the making, and Annamaria Hemingway is one of its architects. Larry Dossey, MD, author of The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary ThingsIf you are looking for an inspirational uplifting book about dying, this is it! Annamaria Hemingway has brightened my perspective about death through her penetrating study of NDE and her wonderful stories, each one full of security, clarity and warmth. Michelle Cromer, author of Exit Strategy: Thinking Outside the BoxWith "Practicing Conscious Living and Dying", Annamaria Hemingway achieves a perfect equilibrium between spiritual insights, and inspirational testimonies of some exceptional individuals who, by their generosity, altruism and courage have transformed the lives of many. A must-read for anyone who wishes to live life consciously and, as a result, prepare for death and beyond. Evelyn Elsaesser-Valarino, author of Talking with Angels about Illness, Death and Survival. Co-author with Kenneth Ring of Lessons from the Light.Death, it has been said is the supreme teacher, and this beautiful and deeply moving book certainly exemplifies the adage. In it, you will meet about twenty people whose lives were profoundly touched - and immeasurably enriched - by an encounter with death, either through a near-death experience or the death of a loved one. Here, they tell their stories in their own voices, and in many cases, show how they came to devote their lives, selflessly and nobly, to the service of others as a result of their encounter with death. The stories you will find here are not just consolatory: they are inspiring and instructive, and some will cause you to weep or marvel. The authors also do a fine job of supplying just enough commentary to provide a scholarly context for their argument that death is not a dead end. This is a book that should find, and deserve, a wide and grateful audience. Kenneth Ring, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Psychology University of Connecticut, author of Lessons from the LightI am captured by the style in which this book is written. Counterbalanced within each section is a series of personal stories of real people, illustrating through events in their own lives what has previously been described. And the way that this is done is like nothing else I have ever seen in any book - creating a unique and friendly closeness that makes what is shared as immediate as it is intimate.The style serves the book well as the subject of conscious living and dying cradles in the notion of "continuum," the ever-lastingness of what we can know and experience. Continuum...not so much what science would tell us but rather through what the history of human experience can know, as reflected through voices and lives of people you might know or could know, maybe even your own.The comfort "Practicing Conscious Living and Dying" gives is so special and so deep, I would love to see every hospice on earth have this book readily available, hospitals, too, and every home where questions arise as to who we are and what might happen to us after we die. Annamaria Hemingway with John Griffin has done an exceptional job. Highly recommended. P.M.H. Atwater, L.H.D., Near-Death Researcher and author of nine books on her findings, including The New Children and Near-Death Experiences, Coming Back to Life, Beyond the Light, We Live Forever, and Near-Death Experiences: The Complete Sourcebook."Practicing Conscious Living and Dying" weaves an exceptionally beautiful fabric of historic, religious, modern-day and philosophical views of near-death and related phenomena interwoven with inspiring true stories that underscore the positive and dramatic effect that death can have on a person's life. A must read for anyone interested in near-death experience and the continuity of consciousness. Yolaine M. Stout, President, International Association for Near-Death Studies, Inc:"Practicing Conscious Living and Dying" offers a wide range of research that confirms death is only a transition. Even ardent skeptics will be impressed by the excellent firsthand accounts that provide evidence for the continuation of consciousness beyond the death of our physical body. Bill Guggenhiem co-author of Hello From Heaven"Practicing Conscious Living and Dying: Stories of the Eternal Continuum of Consciousness" offers an important and helpful message. For those who have experienced a near-death event, you will be familiar with these stories. For those who have not experienced such an event, the book offers insight and understanding to that space between life and death. It is not a new thing, but a familiar state of being, as if you have experienced it many times before. It is like going home.I am happy to have my story among this unique group. You just have to read it.' Larry Hagman

Book Synopsis"A Woman's Way" is an optimistic account of transformative growth which maps the journey from inner turmoil to confidence, joy and fulfilment. This is a spiritual journey that is offered to all in early to middle adulthood but in this instance, the wisdom of a group of twelve women has been tapped to illuminate the process. Through an economical sharing of their experiences, the features of this journey are brought to light and ideas for getting through it are recommended. Describing the path that they have trodden removes its mystique and diminishes any fear that other travellers may have of exploring this (inner) landscape.Although challenging, it is an exciting journey that enables women to find their true expression and live vigorously and vitally in the world. Many who tread this path report the arrival at their destination in the most glowing terms as the dysfunctional behaviours of the past are shed in favour of self-confidence and self-responsibility. This is called the 'becoming' journey to suggest its ongoing nature and the dynamic of emerging beauty.Trade ReviewTrust me; this book could save your life. From the moment I read the first line 'I come from a family of wounded women' I was hooked. Gentle, wise and compassionate, Dena takes you by the hand and takes you on a journey that will change you forever. Erin Pizzey, international author, poet and playwright and founder of the refuges for women and children who have been subject to domestic violenceDena shows remarkable humanity in her perception of a woman's dilemma and a remarkable ability to see the synchronicity which pulls a universal strategy out of each of their narratives. What I think is really enlightening about the book is the way she takes the individual circumstance - a silk thread if you like - and instead of simply setting it up as a separate case, she takes the individual strands and twists them into an elaborate, thick, silken chord so that each one contributes to the strength of the whole. She extracts from each individual case a strategy of wisdom. Michael Glickman, architect, inventor, author and playwrightThis book is both an emotional and intellectual inspiration to those who have experienced the pain of feeling unloved and abused. It provides a female perspective on what it feels like to have lived through such events and also on what it takes to overcome the past. The author uses her own experiences and that of her contributors sensitively to highlight the ups and downs of the journey towards healing while providing a range of stages required to overcome the legacy that such events leave. Academic rigour and compassion come together. Gladeana McMahon, Fellow of the British Association for Counselling, Association for Coaching and Co-Director of the Centre for Stress Management"A Woman's Way" is an experience, a friend, and an inspiration to guide women who desire to make positive changes in their lives. In fact all women can learn from it, even those who have not been touched by trauma but are simply experiencing change. Dena's writing is eloquent, personal and helps the reader understand emotional experiences and options for change. Lynne van Brakel is a facilitator of personal and professional development and a life coachDena offers the sincere reader an outstretched hand with which to journey; a journey from despair and confusion to understanding and the blossoming into the fullness of being. From the first chapter I could feel the invitation to go much deeper so I entered the book and experienced it fully. As I did so, it created all sorts of emotions in me. I really liked her writing style and even laughed out loud in places! There is an appealing 'dryness' to her humour which made me smile in spite of the challenging nature of some of the messages. It is a much needed guide, support and most of all, a gesture of loving understanding and encouragement. I would recommend it to all women who are making conscious steps from healing to wholeness.

Book SynopsisIn our self-help oriented culture, we are often given the message by experts that we can achieve whatever we desire. "You Can Only Achieve What Is Possible", proclaims, quite to the contrary, that you can only achieve what is within your remit. This book is about realising our own limitations and learning to desire what we really need, rather than what we want. When we can achieve this, we can change our lives for the better. Each chapter begins with a case study and then discusses and dissects a particular notion held by various self-help experts and suggests an alternative theory. The chapters conclude with meditation, healing and intention-based techniques to help people get to grips with their own intuition and start achieving what is possible, rather than worrying about what isn't.Trade ReviewThrough a wonderfully honest and refreshing voice, Dawn Mellowship talks to all of us as a friend. Dr. Edward Dudzik (BSc, PhD) - Medical Biochemical Researcher, Reiki Practitioner.Illustrated with simple, practical exercises, this book contains stimulating advice and tips on how to overcome the perceived obstacles blocking one's true purpose.

Book SynopsisWar, terrorism, poverty, all can be traced to one single event: the switch, about 6000 years ago, from goddess - to god-worship. This switch rumbled over the landscape when a large part of the planet turned to desert, and hundreds of thousands of the world's first farmers starved to death. The switch from goddess to god helped lock into place a new starvation culture, one that might have faded away once its usefulness had passed. Instead, this new culture became set in stone and passed down from generation to generation. Even in the midst of plenty, the deep-rooted and largely unconscious fear of starvation haunts its bearers. Starvation culture is now threatening to wipe us off the face of the earth. The fix is in coming to terms with starvation culture, ditching the gods, and switching back to goddesses. This book tells how to do that.Trade Review[ Switching to Goddess] is almost certain to provoke lively, animated discussion. -- Dr. Elinor Gadon, Cultural Historian, Brandeis UniversityI wanted to read it all again as Studebaker candidly infuses contemporary relevance with herstory. -- Karen Tate, scholar, lecturer, radio show hostess, and film maker; author of Sacred Places of Goddess: 108 Destinations and Walking An Ancient PathJeri has written a feisty, upbeat exploration of the place of Goddess in the ancient and modern worlds.

Book SynopsisDoes consciousness continue after death? Are the deceased capable of communicating with the loved ones they've left behind? Do our thoughts reach the deceased? In this book I share the answers that I've received regarding these urgent questions. In 2005, my brother, Murray, died unexpectedly while sleeping. Minutes after saying goodbye to his lifeless body, he began communicating with me. He hasn't stopped since. Whether Murray speaks to me directly or through varied and often humorous physically occurring signs, his message is always one of love and light. He dispels the fear of what the transition from this plane to the next means for all of us and offers comfort to those grieving the loss of a loved one. Skeptics and believers alike are astounded by these accounts of contact between two worlds.Trade ReviewAs human beings, our biggest challenge is to understand how life and death are inextricably linked. For many, the devastating loss and grief surrounding the death of a loved one can open a portal to a hightened state of awareness that gives rise to extraordinary insights and reinforces a primordial affirmation - death heralds new life. In Poppies From Heaven, Faye Schindelka describes her own powerful journey to a spiritual awakening, following the death of her brother, Murray. In sharing this moving account of after-death communication, Schindelka reminds us that death can result in a positively transformative, life-affirming experience. (Annamaria Hemingway, Ph.D., author of Practicing Conscious Living and Dying and myths of the afterlife) Faye Schindelka has done a superb job of baring her soul on the difficult subject of death. It is never easy to deal with a loved one's death; yet she also gives the reader hope of the continuity of life. She had the remarkable good fortune of being a soul mate with her brother and ultimately of being able to communicate with him. Not only was this journey a life-affirming soul quest for her, but it also helps others to deal with their own grief by knowing their loved ones are in a better place. (Jody A. Long, JD, Author, From Soul to Soulmate: Bridges From Near-Death Experience Wisdom, researcher and webmaster for After Death Communications Research Foundation)

Book SynopsisAge-old African beliefs about a body that is not the physical body; an ancient Mesopotamian epic with a hidden message about life and death; old Tibetan and Chinese writings on the importance of nothingness; tales of those who have come back from a death-like experience after a heart attack or accident. These, along with what the major faiths tell us about an existence after death, are the focus of this book. The author's search in often unexpected places provides insights into the nature of consciousness after death, the structure of our being, the meaning of time and space and the inevitability of suffering as well as of goodness. Through this book we will be better equipped to come to terms with the deaths of those dear to us, and also with our own death.Trade Review"Brown presents a well written thought provoking text which is one of those books that can either be dipped into periodically or devoured in a day, depending how much time you have available.The style of writing asks the reader to question their stance more often than offering answers to the questions presented.Citing examples from different myths, for instance he explores the story of Gilgamesh as an analogy for the creation of the Soul or Self.Unexpected Places will appeal to those with a grounding in psychology and the function of myth and archetypes.The Author delves into facets of consciousness and attempts to explain how the various afterlife states can be used as reference points, or markers in waking life.Briefly dipping into the Qabalah and the Tao, Brown offers a well referenced and nicely balanced text offering his insight into sensitive subject matter.Through the lens of "building up a picture" the book is comparable to a literary initiation, or awakening experience via objective comparison. Rather than clinging to one ideology and professing it the only way, the author encourages the reader to open up and consider the deeper meaning behind inherent fears and anxieties on the subject of death and dying."
