The Mother of Creation is a universal concept and appears in many
guises: Divine Mother, Holy Spirit, Goddess of Light, Shakti, Mary,
Madonna, etc. This is the divine feminine of the Mother which is
beloved by many. Throughout the ages, artists have recorded their
spiritual visions. Think of great masters like Michelangelo and Da
Vinci. Consider William Blake who was ridiculed in his life but is
now revered. His visions were extraordinary and included Adam and
Eve. They had a basis in truth. The Mother is also portrayed
through many forms of art. But this is not just the religious and
Renaissance art of western civilisation. Sacred art is everywhere.
Music also has a vital role in this renaissance. Sacred music has
evolved through the centuries - from western classical composers to
the mystical traditions of India and the East. Music is a universal
language of passion and feeling. The world is enriched by music in
all its many forms. Art can be combined with music to increase its
appeal to the spiritual self. So that a meditation on the Mother or
Spirit - that combines art and music in this way - may help a
person towards a state of enlightenment. This is an enlightenment
to the Spirit of Truth - the Mother - who is instrumental in the
renaissance of Man. The Spirit is the Helper and Comforter - and
with us forever. So that we can live in the grace of the Spirit.

A Disciple describes a singular journey with a universal appeal, on
the path of Perennial Wisdom. There are lessons for us all as we
recognise the call from our inner spirit, our yearning for
'something other' in a materialistic world that so often leaves us
dissatisfied. There is another way for us to live, and A Disciple
asks important questions about faith and spirituality and connects
us with the power of meditation. The author believes passionately
that it is meditation that provides the foundation for a caring and
compassionate future. The story is told with engaging candour, with
tales from mythology, quotations from Rumi, and references to Sufi
texts all adding colour to the Wisdom Teachings he is receiving.
The wise ones spoke in parables and metaphor because that is the
form that penetrates and transcends our defenses. We go to some
deeper part of ourselves; non-linear and non-cerebral, which is
what meditation is. A Disciple is a fascinating exploration about
how meditation can not only awaken our latent potential to live the
best lives we can, but also transform the world.

Sacred Geometry exists all around us in the natural world, from the
unfurling of a rose bud to the pattern of a tortoise shell, the
sub-atomic to the galactic. A pure expression of number and form,
it is the language of creation and navigates the unseen dimensions
beyond our three-dimensional reality. Since its discovery, humans
have found many ways - stone circles, mandalas, labyrinths,
temples- to call upon this universal law as a way of raising
consciousness and communicating with a divine source. By becoming
aware of the dots and lines that build the world around you, Sacred
Geometry will teach you how to bring this mystical knowledge into
your daily practice.
