Psychologists have long realized that the ancient Greeks had deep insights into the human psyche which, whether they realized it or not, they expressed through their mythology. Peter Lemesurier's new book offers a way of using these insights directly as a startling new method of self-healing and self-realization. In the full tradition of Joseph Campbell, James Hillman and Karl Kerenyi, it applies the dynamics of the Greek myths to quite overwhelming effect - as many who have used the approach report. Basically, the system is homeopathic, in that it encourages co-operation with each currently controlling god in turn (once identified via a simple diagnostic test) thus allowing that god to "move on". By the same token, therefore, it gives readers full permission - perhaps for the first time in their lives - to be who they really are, removing all the stultifying effects of chronic guilt about themselves. But first, discover your god...

Restoring Africa’s Spiritual Identity, authored by African Hidden Voices and inspired by the revelations of Inkosi Yomoya Imboni Dr. Uzwi-Lezwe Radebe, delivers a powerful critique of the spiritual displacement caused by colonialism and religious imposition. The book reveals how the forced introduction of foreign religions severed Africa’s access to the masculine energy—the upward spiritual dimensions—disconnecting the continent from its highest spiritual authority and divine guidance. African Hidden Voices argues that African Indigenous Spirituality (AIS), once centered on direct knowledge through revelations, was systematically replaced by belief-based systems that undermined Africa’s spiritual sovereignty. This disconnection resulted in the erosion of indigenous institutions that once guided African societies. The book also seeks to illuminate the role played by African Initiated Churches (AICs) in asserting their attempts to merge Christianity with African practices. They failed to restore the continent’s true spiritual identity, as they remained bound by the very religious frameworks that displaced them. Politics through the rise of Pan Africanism also failed to restore Africa to its authentic spirituality as it was fused with religious dogmas. Restoring Africa’s Spiritual Identity calls for a return to authentic spiritual institutions, guided by the revelations of genuine spiritual guiders, to reclaim Africa's spiritual sovereignty. It presents a scholarly and visionary blueprint for restoring the continent’s cosmic balance and reconnecting with its original spiritual essence.
The international bestselling spiritual book, now with a new look for its 20th anniversary. Eckhart Tolle demonstrates how to live a healthier, happier, mindful life by living in the present moment. To make the journey into The Power of Now we will need to leave our analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle offers simple language and a question and answer format to show us how to silence our thoughts and create a liberated life. Surrender to the present moment, where problems do not exist. It is here we find our joy, are able to embrace our true selves and discover that we are already complete and perfect. If we are able to be fully present and take each step in the Now we will be opening ourselves to the transforming experience of The Power of Now.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Most people have, at some time in their lifetime, asked themselves: Why me? What is life all about? What is the meaning and purpose of life? Why are we here? Why do we need to be here? And many other similar questions. To date, I am not aware of any authority, religious or scientific; that has given an adequate and meaningful answer to these questions. In reality, the answers lie in spirit evolution, in each individual's spiritual development, and in reincarnation. For too long populations have lived in ignorance of true spiritual facts and relied on the words of those with limited spiritual knowledge. This has led to them being indoctrinated and controlled by superstition and religious doctrines. The purpose of this book is to convey in simple layman's language the basic truths concerning the interrelationship between the human spirit and the physical body, and to introduce other related subjects. I would like to think that what you read will trigger a need for you to investigate further the facts for yourself, so that you can reach your own conclusions.
Born in the Isle of Man of Irish/Welsh parentage, Noel Stuart nursed no other ambition than to work with animals. His lifelong passion for all creatures and his interest in complementary medicine for humans and non-humans alike combined to culminate in his eventual choice of career as a veterinary surgeon. Noel's work both as a vet and his second career as a writer is a rich tapestry of down-to-earth practice alongside a sense of healing power beyond science. This is balanced by a great sense of humour running a sparkling thread through all that he writes. Noel has studied such unusually diverse directions as dowsing and the effect of ley lines on cattle. He can claim distinction as being one of the earliest vets of his generation to treat fish and once had the dubious experience of counting an alligator as one of his patients! Noel now enjoys an active semi-retirement in Cornwall. He turns his hand enthusiastically to a wide range of endeavours from 'lollipop man' to school governor and Rotarian. He may be found working with the local writers' group, or travelling the world and being a guru to his many grandchildren.

What we know about the Seventh Sense in this day and age in my experience suggests the mind is the ultimate correspondent between the past, present & future aspects in the known paranormal activity my restless mind appears to have move into another level of enquiries, such as how can we see and hear that which is beyond the five physical senses and today the six sense I am now concerned with the seven sense. When the physical mind becomes steady in the light nothing entering to upset the equilibrium becoming stabilised time stands still and through this process comes a perceptive awareness never before envisaged illuminating the mind with knowledge and wisdom in the natural world the above statement is called as imagination.
