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...
A BOLD NEW VISION FOR A NEW WORLD
It's no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 2 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, "the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death." Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.

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.

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.
