In Celtic Spirituality, acclaimed translator and scholar Philip
Freeman allows the voices of the Celts to speak once more. Though
the Celtic civilization has long disappeared, lingering traces of
their spirituality haunt Ireland and the surrounding land.
Tantalizing snippets of faded manuscript pages, ancient stone
carvings, and spells from the mystery-shrouded Druids have sparked
the imagination of generations of modern seekers. Translated from
their original languages--Gaulish, Latin, Irish, and Welsh--the
passages and stories in Celtic Spirituality are true artifacts of
the Celts' vibrant and varied religion from both the pre-Christian
and early Christian period. From a ritual of magical inspiration to
stories of the ancient gods and adventures of long-forgotten
heroes, Freeman has unearthed a stunning collection of Celtic work.
The translation is accessible to the modern reader, but maintains
the beauty and vibrancy of the original. Celtic Spirituality
includes material that has never been translated before, offering a
new glimpse into the wisdom and wild magic of the Celts.
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.

Bestselling author, life coach and sociologist Martha Beck explains why 'integrity' - being in harmony with ourselves - is the key to a meaningful and joyful life
In The Way of Integrity, Beck presents a four-stage process that anyone can use to find integrity, and with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. Much of what plagues us-people pleasing, staying in stale relationships, negative habits-all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole.
Inspired by The Divine Comedy, Beck uses Dante's classic hero's journey as a framework to break down the process of attaining personal integrity into small, manageable steps. She shows how to read our internal signals that lead us towards our true path, and to recognize what we actually yearn for versus what our culture sells us.
With techniques tested on hundreds of her clients, Beck brings her expertise as a social scientist, life coach and human being to help readers to uncover what integrity looks like in their own lives. She takes us on a spiritual adventure that not only will change the direction of our lives, but bring us to a place of genuine happiness.

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.
Beauty does not linger, it only visits. Yet beauty's visitation
affects us and invites us into its rhythm, it calls us to feel,
think, and act beautifully in the world: to create and live a life
that awakens the Beautiful.
Beauty is a gentle but urgent call to awaken. Bestselling author
John O'Donohue opens our eyes, hearts, and minds to the wonder of
our own relationship with beauty by exposing the infinity and
mystery of its breadth. His words return us to the dignity of
silence, profundity of stillness, power of thought and perception,
and the eternal grace and generosity of beauty's presence. In this
masterful and revelatory work, O'Donohue encourages our greater
intimacy with beauty and celebrates it for what it really is: a
homecoming of the human spirit. As he focuses on the classical,
medieval, and Celtic traditions of art, music, literature, nature,
and language, O'Donohue reveals how beauty's invisible embrace
invites us toward new heights of passion and creativity even in
these uncertain times of global conflict and crisis.
Jean Liedloff, an American writer, spent two and a half years in
the South American jungle living with Stone Age Indians. The
experience demolished her Western preconceptions of how we should
live and led her to a radically different view of what human nature
really is. She offers a new understanding of how we have lost much
of our natural well-being and shows us practical ways to regain it
for our children and for ourselves.
