Book SynopsisIn The Heart of Prayer, Rupert Spira elaborates on the understanding that the peace and happiness we seek can be found in the knowing of our own being. Drawing on the wisdom of Being Aware of Being Aware and Being Myself, this new volume explores another essential aspect of meditation-that which is known as union with God and traditionally approached through prayer. The belief shared by most people that we are a separate person, a tiny part of a vast world, leads us to project the idea of God beyond the world, at an infinite distance from ourselves. As this person, we enter into a devotional relationship with God, we surrender to God. When, through an understanding of our self as unlimited, intimate being, God's being, the sole reality of all that is, we see that we are not separate from God. Our longing for God is found to be God's longing for us. The meditations in this volume are followed by dialogues in which analogies and practical examples help to clarify the teaching. Throughout The Heart of Prayer, Spira interlaces his contemplations with his own invocations-as well as teachings, prayers, and poetry gathered from centuries of great works and sacred texts-creating a rich experience of the unity of the perennial non-dual understanding.

Book SynopsisTeachings from the Sirian High Council to help humanity as we merge into the 4th dimension. In 1996, while visiting the Julia Set crop circle in England, Patricia Cori experienced a galactic out-of-body journey—a transformational awakening that attuned her to a group of interdimensional light beings known to her as the Sirian High Council. Serving as their scribe now for more than 25 years, she shares the insights and teachings of these six-dimensional Sirian Light Emissaries to help humanity as we merge into the fourth dimension and face our collective karma—the source of so much of the dramatic events now unfolding around the world. Sharing new revelations that affirm the veracity of past prophecies as well as transmitting new visions for the human race, Cori’s messages from higher realms empower readers to peer fearlessly into the darkness, to understand it, and to focus on the light for all humankind and the earth. She explains how the Sirians hold us to our responsibility as guardians of this planet, with sound direction and advice for how to survive our imminent collective ascension and global awakening to new levels of conscious awareness. The Sirians’ discussions explain what we are undergoing right now and delve into many of the most crucial issues of our time, including the rush to merge the human mind with artificial intelligence, ET disclosure, cloning, the slipping of time, and the dark forces that are losing their grip on our planet and humanity. As the struggle between darkness and light is being fought at every level, Cori reminds us to take comfort in the fact that the Sirian High Council foresaw and told us how this time of immense upheaval would be the last phase of our passage out of the darkness and into illuminated states of consciousness and the light of planetary renewal.Trade Review“A magnificent, comprehensive, and absolutely accurate description of the state of the Earth at this time. In this time of extreme chaos on our planet, reading this book could save your sanity. Cori’s absolutely pure voice offers us a clear sense of direction! As a mature and highly complex channel, Patricia has integrated the intense Sirian communications deeply into her own heart, thus she speaks from her heart.” * Barbara Hand Clow, author of The Pleiadian Agenda and Alchemy of Nine Dimensions *“Infinite in its extent, The New Sirian Revelations presages a planetary renewal that significantly and convincingly bridges the Cosmos and the collective consciousness of our global human community.” * Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder of Agape International Spiritual Center and author of Spiritual Li *“Her extraordinary vision and the way she communicates her truth to her readers will make Patricia Cori a staple in every library.” * Donald Newsom, president of BBS Network, Inc. *“The Speakers of the Sirian High Council have transmitted to us a deep-dive corroboration of the science-based discovery of the Omniverse.” * Alfred Lambremont Webre, author of Exopolitics: Politics, Government, and Law in the Universe *“Twenty years ago a remarkable series of transmissions began from a six-dimensional collective, the Sirian High Council, to their scribe: Patricia Cori. This latest book is a most worthy successor to the original trilogy of Sirian Revelations and it is, quite simply, the best and most important book I have ever encountered. Each word radiates truth and illumines the path before us. If I could bring only one book with me to a desert island, it would be this.” * Bruce Steffek, psychotherapist and coauthor of Helping People Change *“We must pay attention to Patricia Cori’s messages from the Sirian High Council; our emergence into the galactic phase of coexistence is upon us and discernment in our communication, especially telepathically, is a priority. Listen closely and without reservation to their guidance about our ascension, and heed their warnings—lest you get caught unaware and fall back into the matrix. Minus sugar coating, boldly unveiled in The New Sirian Revelations is our final step toward complete sovereignty . . . a must-read!” * Debbie West, journalist, cohost of Lost Knowledge radio show *“Patricia Cori has once again shown me the intense love the Sirian High Council holds for us—in very rich language, on a variety of subjects that describe, in a most intricate way, the beauty that awaits humanity. What they share in The New Sirian Revelations has touched me on the deepest level possible, broadening my perspective of our cosmic reality and accelerating my awakening.” * Maarten Horst, founder of ET-First Contact Radio *“The New Sirian Revelations is the ultimate quantum journey, a wakeup call for our times. From galaxies to gravity, wonder and pragmatism unite in this tour of the universe. This is a must-read for anyone willing to make a choice. Consumer or caretaker? Ultimately, this book inspires hope: an empowering guide for a new heart-centered world. Patricia Cori excels as channel and scribe—bridging the Sirians’ multidimensional perspective into a page-turning read.” * Mags MacKean, author of The Upside Down Mountain *“A powerfully honest, yet loving, six-dimensional wake-up call to all beings of our sun system: human, earthly, and cosmic. During this paramount time in our collective unfolding and ascension, The New Sirian Revelations offers us awareness of the greater picture and a choice to play our important part in the symphony and song of Creation. What a gift Patricia Cori has brought through for humanity!” * Kristin Hoffmann, composer, producer, and performing artist *“I’ve read all of Patricia Cori’s books and loved every one of them—but this is the absolute best yet. I consider The New Sirian Revelations to be one of the two most important books I have read in my life—the other being The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche. Filled with vision, hope, and truth, Cori’s book is a must-read for every conscious being on the planet!” * Peter Brightman, CEO of the International Entertainment Corporation *“The book is incredible. . . . It really blows my mind.” * Jimmy Church, host of Fade to Black radio show *Table of ContentsPreface to the New EditionIntroduction 1 The Early Transmissions: Prophecy Unfolds 2 Declaration of Intent 3 Greetings from Satais, Sirius B 4 What of the Stars? 5 Cosmic Soup 6 Navigating the Fourth Dimension 7 Hope, Empowered 8 Who Shall Inherit the Earth? 9 Parallel Universes: The Cosmic Hall of Mirrors 10 Stargates, Wormholes, and Portals 11 Your Star’s Magic, Mutation, and Song12 Electromagnetism: The Glue that Binds13 Starseed: The Soul of Interstellar Dust 14 Technology and the Mind Masters 15 On a Crash Course with Artificial Intelligence 16 Alien Outposts and Extrater restr ial Inroads 17 And So Goes the Reptilian Reign of Terror 18 The End of the Days: The Old Ways Epilogue About the Channel The Divine Blueprint: Online Course in DNA Activation and Repair Notes Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisThe artist Celia Pym lives in London and has been exploring damage and repair in textiles since 2007. Working with garments that belong to individuals as well as items in museum archives, she has broad experience with stories of damage, from moth holes to accidents with fire. Textile language crops up in the body: mending language works on the body as well as on garments. We describe the body as mending after illness or injury – ‘I’m on the mend,’ someone might say if they’re feeling better. You might hear a doctor or nurse describe a broken bone as ‘mending well’, or broken bones are often described as knitting back together as the break heals. Pym is interested in exploring the varied evidence of damage, and how repair draws attention to the places where garments and cloth wear down and grow thin. These personal tales document the intimate damage caused to clothing by everyday use and the parallels with the consequent wear and tear on the body. Mending work builds on what is left behind. It’s not replacing, or remaking, or cutting apart and putting back together, instead it is slow work that makes things better. It conjures an unhurried recovery or change. In textiles, the act of mending wear-and-tear, thinning cloth or accidental damage builds on what already exists, anchoring threads and yarn into the robust healthy fabric and filling in the holes or reinforcing the areas that are weak. ‘Darning is small acts of care,’ she says, ‘and paying close attention.’ Trade Review'Celia Pym sees touch as an act of tenderness, whether that’s mending clothes or caring for others. Mending clothes that once belonged to someone you loved can take on a different significance. “It used to sit on the skin of someone you loved, it’s like a diffused kind of touch,” says Celia. “Touch isn’t only through your hands – your skin is your biggest organ – and clothing will take on the shape and the smell of someone and become an evocative reminder of the owner.” In her book, Celia tells the story of ten special items she’s mended. One that really illustrates the connection of touch to memory: “I mended my mother’s childhood sweater that my brother also wore – it was so small I couldn’t imagine my mother ever wearing it, but I could picture struggling to hold my brother when he was one and I was three,” she recalls. “The tactility of the sweater really conjured up that memory.”' Katie Antoniou, The Simple Things; Pym has been exploring mending since 2007 and has extensive experience of repairing small holes at heels, elbows and inside pockets, as well as working on more dramatic damage, whether it be from water, animals or moths. For Pym, the greater the damage, the better. Pym studied sculpture at Harvard and has an MA in constructed textiles from the Royal College of Art. She was a finalist in the Woman's Hour Craft Prize (2017) and Loewe Craft Prize (2017). Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Nouveau Muse National de Monaco and the Textile Arts Centre, New York and the Curator's Cube in Tokyo.' Toast Magazine; 'Pym acknowledges that in the process of mending she is, in fact, mending more than just the garment. The process enables people to approach her for advice and also to talk candidly about the meaning implied in restoring a treasured piece of clothing. Sometimes, the garment will have been the property of a loved one who has died, so repairing it, she says, enables the relationship to continue. The act of mending artfully is a form of caring and memorialisation.'

Book SynopsisWhen Oliver Sacks was twelve years old, a perceptive schoolmaster wrote in his report: 'Sacks will go far, if he does not go too far'. It is now abundantly clear that Sacks has never stopped going . . .From its opening pages on his youthful obsession with motorcycles and speed, On the Move is infused with his restless energy. As he recounts his experiences as a young neurologist in the early 1960s, first in California and then in New York, where he discovered a long-forgotten illness in the back wards of a chronic hospital, as well as with a group of patients who would define his life, it becomes clear that Sacks's earnest desire for engagement has occasioned unexpected encounters and travels – sending him through bars and alleys, over oceans, and across continents.With unbridled honesty and humour, Sacks shows us that the same energy that drives his physical passions –bodybuilding, weightlifting, and swimming – also drives his cerebral passions. He writes about his love affairs, both romantic and intellectual, his guilt over leaving his family to come to America, his bond with his schizophrenic brother, and the writers and scientists – Thom Gunn, A. R. Luria, W. H. Auden, Gerald M. Edelman, Francis Crick – who influenced him.On the Move is the story of a brilliantly unconventional physician and writer – and of the man who has illuminated the many ways that the brain makes us human.Trade ReviewDeeply moving. . . a gift to his readers - of erudition, sympathy and an abiding understanding of the joys, trials and consolations of the human condition -- Michiko Kakutani * New York Times *Sacks's empathy and intellectual curiosity, his delight in, as he calls it, "joining particulars with generalities" and, especially, "narratives with neuroscience" - have never been more evident than in his beautifully conceived new book. . .remarkably candid and deeply affecting * Boston Globe *Honest, lucid, passionate, humorous, humane and human (also slightly Martian). . .[a] marvelous memoir, which is as unconventional and singular as the man himself -- Colin McGinn * Wall Street Journal *Absorbing * Chicago Tribune *A fascinating account - a sort of extended case study, really - of Sacks' remarkably active, iconoclastic adulthood. . . .On the Move is filled with both wonder and wonderments * LA Times *Intensely, beautifully, incandescently alive * Newsday *On the Move is as much a dense journal of Sacks's own astonishing, incident-rich life as a meaty handbook on how to live * Globe and Mail *No matter what he writes about - whether struggling to understand what his patients are going through, or describing his love of swimming or photography - Sacks always seems open to learning more. He appears keenly interested in everything and everyone he encounters. He's a wonderful storyteller, a gift he says he inherited from his parents, both of whom were doctors. But as he proves again in his latest . . . book, it's his keen attentiveness as a listener and observer, and his insatiable curiosity, that makes his work so powerful * San Francisco Chronicle *On the Move is entertaining and illuminating and sometimes shocking, and it's given a deep tinge of poignancy by Sacks' public announcement in February that he has terminal cancer. If On the Move is his effort, at age 81 and in the face of death, to record a life well lived, he has succeeded beautifully * Tampa Bay Times *A compelling read. . .The memoir offers a glimpse into one of the greatest minds of our time, made all the more special by the knowledge that it's one of his last gifts to a devoted readership * Men’s Journal *[Sacks'] delving accounts of the invalids he treats have until now stood in stark contrast to his restraint about revealing himself deeply, even though autobiographical threads run through such books as A Leg to Stand On, Uncle Tungsten and Hallucinations. A doctor - concerned, engaging, humane, eccentric and unforthcoming - has occupied the foreground in his self-description. With On the Move, he has finally presented himself as he has presented others: as both fully vulnerable and an object of curiosity. -- Andrew Solomon * New York Times *His truly has been a life lived to the full - and beyond . . . it is the adventure of ideas he has undertaken that has bestowed on his life its remarkable originality -- Will Self * Guardian *[Sacks] could not have written a more breathtaking account of his too-full life. Who knew the most important medical writer of our time was also a complete and total badass? * Men's Fitness *Sacks' zest for life has been extraordinary. . .Coursing through On the Move is his constant sense of joy in the natural world, in scientific epiphanies, and people in all their oddity. . . one of the most singular and inspiring men of our time -- Peter Forbes * Independent *Sacks's accounts are startling in their frankness and express the release of a wise man who, never burdened by snobbery, has also shed that petty encumbrance, embarrassment. . . In February this year Sacks revealed that he has terminal cancer. He wrote in The New York Times that, though not without fear, his predominant feeling is gratitude. "I have loved and been loved; I have been given much and I have given something in return." This book is a remarkable record of those exchanges * London Evening Standard *In this genial and often humorously narrated life, [Sacks] is very much alive and full of passionate energy, as well as of and wry self-awareness . . . He is an astute observer of the life around him. Judging from early motorcycle diaries and writings included here, he could have had an alternative career on the road with Hunter S Thompson * Guardian *Like many of his readers, some months ago I responded with a sense of real personal sadness when reading Sacks' New York Times op-ed announcing his "bad luck" of now facing a terminal cancer. I felt as if a vital window on the world were being closed. On the Move is a glorious memoir that throws open that window and illuminates the world that we have seen through it. In this volume Sacks opens himself to recognition, much as he has opened the lives of others to being recognized in their fullness -- Michael Roth * The Atlantic *This moving book confirms that it is Sacks's expansive passions for learning and for experience that have made his such a vigorous, fascinating and influential life . . .This book is a delight and a fine prompt to return to his earlier work * New Statesman *A lively read and a fascinating insight into a man who changed the way the world sees things. . .revealingand heartbreaking * Courier Mail *What emerges from On the Move is a celebration not just of a life, but of life itself, in all its glorious variousness and possibility. . . [a] joyous whirlwind of a book -- James Bradley * Capital City Daily *A wonderful legacy to leave behind . . .It's an unmitigated pleasure to be in the company of this physician, teacher and storyteller * Big Issue Australia *An affecting read. . .Much will be lost when we can no longer eagerly await the next gift from this dearly loved,stray Santa * The Conversation *
