'Shaman', meaning 'intermediary between spirit and the natural world', has become a much overused word in the West. It's not a job title one can give oneself, and in indigenous societies, a shaman is usually born to this role. Ya'Acov Darling Khan is one of the few westerners who have been acknowledged as shamans by indigenous elders or teachers. After being hit by lightning, Ya'Acov took a 30-year journey into the heart of shamanism to seek his own healing, and to learn how he could serve others with the wisdom he acquired through his experiences. He has studied with indigenous teachers from the Arctic Circle to the USA and South America, and has taken part in ceremonies in such diverse locations as Welsh caves to the depths of the Amazon rainforest. Nowadays, Ya'Acov continues to study and regularly journeys to the Ecuadorean Amazon to work alongside the Achuar and Sapara people. For thousands of years, shamans helped the people in their communities remain in balance with themselves, each other, the natural world and the spirit world. This beautifully written book is not only a powerfully honest, humorous and inspiring memoir, but a guidebook for those from many cultures and walks of life wishing to return to their indigenous roots, and be part of midwifing a more benign human presence here on Earth as part of a new dream.

For Most of us, life is often a humdrum course of the same-old and the nothing-new. We may dream about running away to exotic lands or retreating to distant monasteries, but the whirligig of life won't let us out of its clutches.

Michael Lipson offers a fresh way of looking at this old predicament. Using exercises pioneered by the great spiritual teacher Rudolf Steiner, he gives ancient yet very timely keys to freshening our perceptions and opening our horizons.

The six steps on this stairway are thinking, doing, feeling, loving, opening, and thanking. If they sound simple, that's because -- in a way -- they are. They show us how to infuse consciousness and mindfulness even into ordinary and overlooked parts of life. Practiced for just a few minutes a day, they can reveal the surprise in the universe that is usually hidden by stale, habitual attitudes.

Because you do not accept what you are, an immortal being having a creative experience with body, you cannot find that which you seek so desperately. Your misteachings about sexuality and God keep you from integrating sexual energies with God energies in any meaningful way, and so the path to heaven on earth through blissful sexual union eludes you to a great extent.

The sexual energies of the ego are leading you to a dark and dangerous precipice, and we wish to call you back - back to love and the loving, kind, fulfilling, and glorifying expressions of spiritual love, your true salvation.

We are here to teach the way to divine bliss, and we know you are scared - scared to lie naked caressing your lover with rapt attention and honor. We know you are scared to kiss and kiss and connect, to feel such deep connection and pleasure that the ego starts to get very nervous, sensing the threat to the wellguarded and limited access to your heart that it deems to be safe.

Colin Wilson's classic work is the essential guidebook to the mind-expanding experiences and discoveries of the 20th century. His genius lies in producing a skillful synthesis of the available material - clarifying without simplifying, seeing the occult in the light of reason and reason in the light of the mystical and paranormal. It is a journey of enlightenment. He provides a wide-ranging survey of the subject, a comprehensive history of "magic" and an insightful exploration of our latent powers, and brings his own refreshingly optimistic and stimulating interpretation to the worlds of the paranormal, the occult and the supernatural.

Access the gifts of transformation, heal the self, and live in harmony with one another and with the Earth by journeying through the wisdom wheel-a fresh take on the traditional medicine wheel-its archetypes, and its four wisdom challenges. The teachings of the medicine wheel have existed from the beginning of time. Today, however, we are creating modern paradigms of shamanism while drawing on the sacred traditions of the past. In this book, shamanic practitioner Alberto Villoldo explains that the medicine wheel is also a wisdom wheel: an advanced tool for working toward personal and planetary transformation. By journeying through the wisdom wheel and its four directions-South, West, North, and East-each of which is associated with an archetypal animal and sacred journey, you will be able to access powerful healing energies and step into a new personal and collective destiny.

"I died in the Battle of the Somme..." These are the astonishing first words spoken to clairvoyant and healer Stephen Turoff by the soul of James Legett, a young soldier who was killed in World War I. For two years, the world-famous psychic surgeon communicated with the soldier's soul and, in the process, wrote down his remarkable story--not the tale of Legett's tragically short life on the physical plane, but about his death on a battlefield in France and his soul's subsequent journey into the afterlife. Although he works with many discarnate spirits at his clinic, the dyslexic Turoff was initially reluctant to undertake the task of writing a book. But he was persuaded by the boisterous and genial soul of the man who had died. Their literary collaboration involved an unusual method--Legett presented spiritual pictures to Turoff, who then interpreted them into words through clairvoyant perception. The result is this enlightening testimony of life beyond the illusion of death--filled with insight, spiritual wisdom, and delightful humor. The author wrote this book to show that we are all eternal--there is no death, only change.
