By breaking free of your own self-limiting beliefs, you'll discover
the unlimited potential of who you really are. It's time to get
over your self! There is an insidious, global identity theft
occurring that has robbed people of their very recognition of their
true selves. The culprit-indeed the mastermind of this crisis-has
committed the inside job of creating and promoting the idea that we
are all a separate self, which is the chief source of our daily
distress and dissatisfaction. No more than a narrative of
personhood pieced together from disparate neural activations, the
self we believe ourselves to be in our own minds-although quite
capable of being affirming, inspiring, and constructive-often spews
forth a distressing flow of worry and second-guessing, blaming and
shaming, regret and guilt. This book offers an antidote to this
epidemic of stolen identity, isolation, and self-deprecation:
no-self (a concept known in Buddhist philosophy as anatta or
anatman). The No-Self Help Book turns the idea of self-improvement
on its head, arguing that the key to well-being lies not in the
relentless pursuit of bettering one's self but in the recognition
of the self as a false identity born in the mind. Rather than
identifying with a small, relative sense of self, this book
encourages you to embrace a liberating alternative-an expansive
awareness that is flexible and open to experiencing life as an
ongoing and ever-changing process, without attachment to personal
outcomes or storylines. To help you make this leap from self to
no-self, the book provides forty bite-sized chapters full of clever
and inspiring insights based in positive psychology and
non-duality-a philosophy that asserts there is no real separation
between any of us. So, if you're tired of "self-help" and you're
ready to explore who you are beyond the self, let The No-Self Help
Book be your guide.

An examination of the public fascination with spiritualism and psychical research in Britain from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth century. The book explores the variety of social background, education, and professional expertise that characterized the men and women who attended seances and investigated psychic phenomena, and places them in the context of their times without ridiculing their beliefs.
If you are seeking union with your Sacred Self, this book is the
Lamplight that will wipe the cobwebs of time from your mind and the
darkness of fear from your vision. Passion and sincerity are key to
initiating anything in life. When you begin to do what you love
continuously, a conscious connection to the Soul happens. In the
development and expansion of your life, you will begin to feel a
Presence. What is this Presence? The Divine, or is it Love of Self?
So now the question becomes, what is this Love? Is it God? It is
challenging to put this level of Consciousness into words. Bliss,
joy and effortlessness abound while the worries of life no longer
exist. In such unity, the universe awaits your beckoning call with
fruits you only dreamed could fall from the tree of life. This
place, this space, is the bridge to the Soul and your return to the
Garden of Eternal Playfulness. Welcome home.

Communing With The Spirits is the only book available that deals
with the magical practice of Necromancy in a non-initiatory manner.
The book has had excellent reviews in the serious occult online
press, and is considered by many serious Occultists to be a
standard in the field. This second edition contains some
interesting new material, but retains all of the old material that
has been found to be useful in guiding people who have the real
desire and inclination to successfully practice Necromancy.
Necromancy is not for everyone, but for those interested in
mastering the art, this book is an excellent guide. 100 words
While modernism's engagement with the occult has been approached by
critics as the result of a loss of faith in representation, an
attempt to draw on science as the primary discourse of modernity,
or as an attempt to draw on a hidden history of ideas, Leigh Wilson
argues that these discourses have at their heart a magical practice
which remakes the relationship between world and representation. As
Wilson demonstrates, the courses of the occult are based on a
magical mimesis which transforms the nature of the copy, from inert
to vital, from dead to alive, from static to animated, from
powerless to powerful. Wilson explores the aesthetic and political
implications of this relationship in the work of those writers,
artists and filmmakers who were most self-consciously experimental,
including James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Dziga Vertov and Sergei M.
Eisenstein.
A highly original study that examines the central role played by
women as mediums, healers, and believers during the golden age of
spiritualism in the late Victorian era, "The Darkened Room" is more
than a meditation on women mediums--it's an exploration of the
era's gender relations.
The hugely popular spiritualist movement, which maintained that
women were uniquely qualified to commune with spirits of the dead,
offered female mediums a new independence, authority, and potential
to undermine conventional class and gender relations in the home
and in society.
Using previously unexamined sources and an innovative approach,
Alex Owen invokes the Victorian world of darkened seance rooms,
theatrical apparitions, and moving episodes of happiness lost and
regained. She charts the struggles between spiritualists and the
medical and legal establishments over the issue of female
mediumship, and provides new insights into the gendered dynamics of
Victorian society.
My Big TOE, written by a nuclear physicist in the language of contemporary Western culture, unifies science and philosophy, physics and metaphysics, mind and matter, purpose and meaning, the normal and the paranormal. The entirety of human experience (mind, body, and spirit), including both our objective and subjective worlds, is brought together under one seamless scientific understanding.
If you have a logical, open, and inquisitive mind - an attitude of scientific pragmatism that appreciates the elegance of fundamental truth and the thrill of breakthrough - you will enjoy this journey of personal and scientific discovery. This trilogy delivers the next major scientific conceptual breakthrough since relativity and quantum mechanics raised scientific eyebrows in the first half of the twentieth century. No catch, no megalomania, no hypothetical wacki-ness, no goofy beliefs, no unusual assumptions - just straightforward science that better describes the totality of our experience and provides a wealth of practical results and new understanding that can be applied personally and professionally by scientists and nonscien-tists alike. This is the real thing. For a more in-depth description go to: http://www.My-Big-TOE.com
James Van Praagh is a spiritual medium--someone who is able to
bridge the physical and spiritual worlds. Unaware of his spiritual
gifts until he was in his twenties, he slowly came to terms with
his unique abilities. In addition, many of his sessions with
grieving people who came to him looking to contact the spirits of
deceased loved ones are explored. From a devastated mother
recieving a message of hope from her deceased little girl to
communicating with a young man, killed in Vietnam, who doesn't
realize he's dead, the theme of hope and peace in the afterlife is
affirmed. Van Praagh also helps the reader recognize and positively
deal with the pain of grief in a healthy, honest manner. Part
spiritual memoir, part case study, part instrumental guide, Talking
to Heaven will change the way you perceive death...and life.
Teresa Moorehouse's "narrative sculptures" tell deep, often
timeless stories in cold cast bronze, with patinas of copper,
silver, or gold. Some draw on traditional myths or legends. Others
discover new voices for contemporary experience of spiritual
mysteries. Her images weave a language of symbols that surpasses
logic and speaks directly to intuition and spirit. Soul Stories
elegantly displays thirty-nine of the artist's favourite works in
cold cast bronze. Her own brief narratives companion the
photographs, to lead us by the hand into each sculpture's magical
world.

The irresistible story of two rival mediums in Victorian London…
’Charming, gorgeous, an utter delight’ Marian Keyes Mrs Wood is
London’s most celebrated medium. She’s managed to survive
decades in the competitive world of contacting the Other Side, has
avoided the dreaded slips that revealed others as frauds and is
still hosting packed-out séances for Victorian high society. Yet,
some of her patrons have recently cancelled their appointments.
There are reports of American mediums nearly materialising full
spirits and audiences are no longer satisfied with the knocking on
tables and candle theatrics of years gone by. And then, at one of
Mrs Wood’s routine gatherings, she hears something terrifying –
faint, but unmistakable: a yawn. Mrs Wood needs to spice up her
brand. She decides to take on Emmie, a young protégé, to join her
show. But is Emmie Finch the naïve ingenue she seems to be? Or
does she pose more of a threat to Mrs Wood’s reign and, more
horrifyingly, her reputation than Mrs Wood could ever have
imagined?
Sophia Elizabeth De Morgan (1809-1892) was the wife of the
mathematician and logician Augustus De Morgan and mother of the
celebrated ceramicist William De Morgan. In this book, published in
1863, De Morgan, writing as 'CD' - with a preface by her husband
signed as 'AB' - acknowledges that alleged spirit manifestations
have faced much criticism and scepticism, but argues that it was a
little-understood phenomenon that merited further investigation.
She spent a decade on this research, and focused on the role of the
mediums, people who were believed to communicate with the spirit
world. She was aided in this by the arrival of a medium who lived
with the De Morgan family for six years. Her chapters also examine
in depth the process of dying and ideas about the afterlife. A
first-hand account of the nineteenth-century spiritualist world,
this book provides a fascinating glimpse into Britain's changing
religious landscape.

Rethink your view of the world with The Teachings of Don Juan, the
first book in Carlos Castaneda's spiritual journey into the world
of sorcery... The Teachings of don Juan is the story of Carlos
Castaneda's extraordinary experiences. In 1960 Carlos Castaneda was
a graduate student when he met Don Juan, a Yaqui Indian feared and
shunned by the ordinary folk of the American Southwest because of
his unnatural powers. During the next five years don Juan's arcana
knowledge led Castaneda into a world of beauty and terror, ruled by
concepts far beyond those of Western civilisation. Using medicinal
herbs Castaneda lived through encounters with disembodied spirits,
shamans in the form of huge wolves, and death in the shape of
silver crows. Finally, after a night of utter terror in which he
knew that his life was threatened by forces which he still cannot
fully explain, he gave up his struggle to become a 'Man Of
Knowledge'. 'It gives a different view of the world and challenges
the ideas and beliefs that we have be taught, whilst also providing
simple methods to changing the way we interact with the world on a
day to day basis.' - 5* Reader Review
