Rumi’s Little Book of Life The Garden of the Soul, the Heart, and the SpiritRumiTRansLaTed By maRyam mafi and azima meLiTa KoLinFrom Madonna to Deepak Chopra, celebrities have been recording and embracing Rumi's poetry for decades, creating a resurgence of interest in this 14th century Sufi mystic. This beautiful collection of 196 mystical poems, previously unavailable in English, focuses on one of life's core issues: coming to terms with the inner life. During the course of life, each of us is engaged on an inner journey, and this is a guidebook for that journey. The poetry is a companion for those who consciously enter the inner world to explore the gardens within – out of the everyday 'world of dust' – through an ascending hierarchy that restores one's soul to the heart; the heart of the spirit; and in finding spirit, transcending all.

THE GREAT SEAL describes our basis for development, the path and the goal of Diamond Way Buddhism and offers insight into both the conditioned world and absolute reality. THE GREAT SEAL, or Mahamudra view, is compared to painting on water. Everything fits perfectly in the moment, yet while it appears it is, also, dissolving.

Tai chi Wu style Advanced Techniques for internalizing Chi EnergymanTaK cHia and andReW JanCentred on a “small frame” stance – that is, feet closer together and arms closer to the body – and a slower progression of movements, Wu Style offers a gentle Tai Chi form for beginners. The more functional stance, smaller movements and conservation of internal energy make Wu-Style Tai Chi ideal for older practitioners as well as those with health disabilities. Condensing the 37 movements of Wu Style into 8 core forms, Master Mantak Chia and Andrew Jan illustrate how to build a personal short-form Wu-Style Tai Chi practice. They explain how Wu-Style Tai Chi removes energetic blockages and helps to elongate the tendons, reducing stiffness and allowing the limbs to return to their natural length and full range of motion. Regular practice of Wu Style relieves back pain as well as reducing abdominal fat, the biggest hindrance to longevity.

demystifying PatanjaliThe Yoga Sutras (Aphorisms) PaRamHansa yoganandaA great spiritual master of ancient times, Patanjali, presented humanity through his Yoga Sutras with a step-by-step outline of how all spiritual aspirants achieve union with God. He called this universal experience “yoga” or “union.” Since then, scholars have written commentaries that bury Patanjali's insights in confusing terms like “mental modifications.” Thankfully, a modern yoga master – Paramhansa Yogananda – has resurrected Patanjali's original teachings and revelations. in DEMYSTiFYiNG PATANJALi, Swami Kriyananda shares Yogananda’s crystal clear and easy-to-grasp explanations.of related interest:autobiography of a yogi £11.99mudras £14.99Polair illustrated yoga dictionary £9.99yoga sutras of Patanjali £15.99

The monks and meHow 40 Days in Thich Nhat Hanh’s French Monastery Guided Me HomemaRy PaTeRsonWith the death of her father, Mary Paterson felt as if she had no place to stand. She had lost her home. Paterson’s response to this life crisis, was to embark on a pilgrimage to Plum Village, the retreat of Nobel Prize-nominated Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh. This wonderfully frank and funny chronicle of her 40-day sojourn offers readers the 40 Buddhist precepts that she learned. The primary theme is the necessity of discovering how to “take refuge” or find a permanent home within ourselves – without taking oneself too seriously. With chapters such as The Lesson in a Bad Fish, The Man Who Nicked My Headphones, How a Monk Washes His Face, and How Not to Be Sneaky, this lyrical, wise, and witty personal journey book is inspirational and a joy to read.

Tough Questions Jews askA Young Adult’s Guide to Building a Jewish LifeSecond Editionrabbi edward FeinSTeinIn Judaism we’re allowed to ask questions. But for young people, it often feels as if no one is willing to take tough questions about religion, ourselves and the world seriously. This updated and expanded new edition turns that all around. With honesty, humour and respect, Rabbi Edward Feinstein tackles topics as diverse as:

● Why does God let terrible things happen? ● What is God anyway? ● What’s the meaning of life? Is that a

stupid question?With insight and wisdom Rabbi Feinstein encourages young people to make sense of the Jewish tradition by wrestling with what we don’t understand.

From defender to critic The Search for a New Jewish Selfdavid harTmanDr. David Hartman presents his own painful spiritual evolution from defender of the rule-based system of Jewish law to revolutionary proponent of a theology of empowerment. In this daring self-examination, he explains how his goals were not to strip halakha – or the past – of its authority but to create a space for questioning and critique that allows for the traditionally religious Jew to act out a moral life in tune with modern experience. In achieving this synthesis of tradition with the sensibilities of contemporary Judaism, Hartman captures precisely what creates vitality in living Judaism and charts the path to nurture its vitality forever.

The Angel and The SorcererThe Remarkable Story of the Occult Origins of Mormonism and the Rise of Mormons in American PoliticsPeTer LevendABased on Levenda’s research into Mormonism, Freemasonry and esoteric societies over the past thirty years, this book is intended for an audience that is curious about Mormonism in light of the fact that at the beginning of 2012 there were two Mormons running for the GOP presidential nomination against two Roman Catholics. There has been much confusion in the media over various Mormon phenomena, such as the “magic underwear”, polygamy “Big Love” style and much else. This book examines the beliefs and reveals the facts of Mormon ideas and practice, starting with its founder Joseph Smith Jr. who began his religious career with rituals of ceremonial magic and divination and ended it with Freemasonry, the largest militia in the state of Illinois, a candidacy for US president and assassination.of related interest:Book of Mormon £14.99Freemasonry £10.99ratline £23.00Tantric Temples £55.00

The Cathar viewThe Mysterious Legacy of MontséguredITed By dAve PATrICKThe Thirteenth-Century Cathars, slaughtered at Montségur in 1244, today offer an alternative to mainstream Christianity that, for many, integrates better both with ancient pagan traditions and with modern 'new age' attitudes than does the church. Contributors to THE CATHAR VIEW range from the scholarly to the ‘alternative’. Chapters take us from accounts of their predecessors, the Bogomils, through to a review of recent ‘heretical’ viewpoints about the holy Grail – the basis of the Da Vinci code and the burgeoning legend of Mary Magdalene. There are contributions about Cathar sympathisers such as Otto Rahn, who for many is the original for Indiana Jones and a look at some of the occultists who have been intrigued by the Cathar inheritance, such as the mysterious Polaires.

Karma is NegotiableDestiny and the Divine Power of LoveNiKais aNNasKarma is not blind destiny or divine judgment, but is the principle that describes the natural reverberation that emerges from every action, whether that action is physical, emotion, mental or spiritual. Suffering and pain are not punishment from a tyrant God, nor are they “normal” or mere “coincidence.” When we truly understand the law of action and consequence, we can see that our lives are a result of our own moment to moment ignorance of the effects of our actions. No matter what religion or background we come from, through conscious action from moment to moment, we can originate a new set of causes, which in turn will generate a new set of results. The power to change is in our hands.

seeing, Knowing, BeingA Guide to Sacred AwakeningsJOhN GreerLiving a spiritual life has nothing to do with fixing ourselves. It is simply a matter of awakening to what we already are. The real work of self-discovery – and the answer to our suffering, emptiness and loss of meaning – is learning to see in a different way. In this all-embracing work, Greer artfully traces the steps and stages of the delicate process of awakening. He shows how we can move from society’s hand-me-down version of reality to the wonder of our true nature – from conceptual, habitual patterns of thinking to knowing the truth by being. What Greer shows, with great wisdom and compassion, is that when you put aside the map of the mind, you can follow the compass of your heart.

This apostolic lineage continues to this day, in a blend of Catholic sacramentalism and mysticism, while its essential message remains the same – “LOVE is not only the Rule of Antioch – it is a Law of Life.’ This small book by the “Bish,” as he was lovingly called, is an introduction to the writings of a mystic, as penned in an ecstasy of Love with all creation.

KosmosAn Evolutionary and Wholistic Account of CreationdeNNis miLNerDennis Milner proposes that our Universe is part of a living, evolving “Kosmos” that “started life” as an unconscious state of dormant energy. This energy stirred into activity and out of this there has arisen a succession of Universes, in which the Kosmos expresses and experiences itself. The scientific investigations have shown how the Universe and life on Earth have developed, the Kosmos viewpoint shows why it has all happened in the way that it has and the meaning and purpose behind it all. It offers new insights into:

● The Creation versus Evolution controversy ● The nature of “God” and Intelligent Design ● The Big Bang theory of the creation of

our Universe

Light from darkness The Practical Science of Spiritual AwakeningsamaeL auN WeOrEverything in existence functions because of laws of nature. Knowledge of those laws is what allows us to accomplish anything in life. Our spiritual and religious life is no different. Spiritual awakening is, also, managed by laws in nature. On every level of existence, there are basic facts that manage creation, development, decay and death. Our consciousness or soul is no exception to these facts and by knowing about them, we can achieve our complete development as a human being. Samael Aun Weor explains the fundamental laws and energies that we need to consciously harness in order to reach our full potential.

By severing ourselves from our heart intelligence, we are left with our selfish, survival-oriented reptilian brains, which create and reinforce “strange loops” between potential and actual reality, leading to our modern world’s endless cycle of self-inflicted disasters and social crises. Pearce explains that in order to break these cycles, we must reconnect with the compassionate intelligence of the heart.

sacred Geometry and spiritual symbolismThe Blueprint for CreationdONaLd B. CarrOLLThere is evidence that the “knowing” of spirituality can be unified with the observations of science through two geometric symbols consisting of the triangle and the arc and their aspects. Author, Carroll, shows how, through the millennia, religions have intuited the importance of these shapes and incorporated their symbolism throughout their beliefs, while these same shapes have been found by modern science to be the essence of life and the cosmos. This shared geometry is not mere coincidence.

The Gift of LoveThe Spiritual Nature and Meaning of LoveJOeL s. GOLdsmiThAs people grow and change, so grows their love. Not just in physical terms, but in spiritual and emotional terms as well. This can be a painful transition that yearns for a foundation to rest upon whether basking in love's glow or wallowing through the lonely times of solitude and isolation. Regardless of where one may be at any moment, the reality is that love is there with the potential to elevate any soul to the highest level of happiness. Joel S. Goldsmith recognised this potential and in THE GIFT OF LOVE he shares his intimate views on love, Christ and the eternal challenge faced by anyone seeking to transcend the material world and resonate in the peacefulness of love.of related interest:Collected essays of Joel s.

She was given the name Gangaji by her teacher, Sri H. W. L. Poonja, in 1990. Brought up in the 1950s in the racially divided southern states of the USA, she married young and had a daughter. Following the dissolution of her first marriage, she moved to Northern California and immersed herself fully in the spiritual culture that was flourishing there – but all her efforts to achieve lasting fulfilment ultimately fell short. In 1990 she travelled to India and to the meeting that would change everything. On the banks of the river Ganges, she met Poonja, also known as Papaji, who opened her mind to the eternal presence of being.of related interest:autobiography of a sadhu £15.99autobiography of a yogi £7.99encounters with Babaji £12.99

Conversations with JesusAn Invitation to DanceBook 2aLexis eLdridGeThe friendship with Jesus continues in this extraordinary second volume of conversations. The purpose of the communication is pure and simple: Jesus wishes to convey to us that the majority of the inhabitants of the planet Earth are heading in the wrong direction. Greed, power and apathy are ruling our cultures, both East and West. Jesus came to Earth to remind us that the golden rule, “Do unto others as you would have do unto you,” is the basic rule of spiritual practice. If people would live by the love that underlies that simple philosophy, the earth would become paradise overnight.

The Gospel of ThomasAnnotated & ExplainedTranslaTed and annOTaTed By sTevan daviesIn 1945, twelve ancient books were found inside a sealed jar at the base of an Egyptian cliff. One of those texts was THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS, one of the most important religious archaeological discoveries of the twentieth century. While illuminating the origins of Christianity, it raises the question whether the New Testament’s version of Jesus’ teachings is entirely accurate and complete. Written at the same time as the canonical Gospels, THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS portrays Jesus as a wisdom-loving sage. The aphoristic sayings emphasise the value of the present, teaching that the Kingdom of God is here and now, rather than a future promise or future threat.

TranslaTed and annOTaTed By sTevan daviesTHE SECRET BOOK OF JOHN is the most significant and influential text of the ancient Gnostic religion. Part of the library of books found in Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in 1945, this central myth of Gnosticism tells the story of how God fell from perfect Oneness to imprisonment in the material world and how by knowing our divine nature and our divine origins – that we are one with God – we reverse God’s descent and find our salvation.of related interest:discovery of The nag Hammadi Texts £16.99Gospel Of Philip £14.99Hidden Gospel of Matthew £14.99

The Book of JobAnnotated & ExplainedTranslaTed By dOnald Kraus

FOrewOrd By dr. Marc BreTTlerTHE BOOK OF JOB, celebrated as a classic of world literature and one of the glories of the Bible, can often be puzzling and frustrating - puzzling for its dialogue form and off-putting because of the many questions it leaves unanswered. The book was written in a world very different from our own and yet the fundamental questions it raises are still ones we grapple with today: Is it worthwhile to act for the best? Does life have a meaning beyond itself? Why do the righteous suffer and the guilty prosper?of related interest:celtic christian spirituality £14.99end of days £14.99Gospel of Thomas £14.99John & charles wesley £14.99

desert Fathers and MothersEarly Christian Wisdom SayingsAnnotated & ExplainedannOTaTed By cHrisTine valTers PainTner The desert fathers and mothers were ordinary Christians living in solitude in the deserts of Egypt, Palestine, Syria and Arabia who chose to renounce the world in order to deliberately and individually follow God’s call. Their spiritual practice formed the basis of Western monasticism and greatly influenced both Western and Eastern Christianity. Their writings, first recorded in the fourth century, consist of spiritual advice, parables and anecdotes emphasising the primacy of love and the purity of heart. Focusing on key themes of charity, fortitude, lust, patience, prayer and self-control, the Sayings influenced the rule of St. Benedict and have inspired centuries of opera, poetry and art.

The Magdalene versionSecret Wisdom from a Gnostic Mystery SchoolsTuarT wilsOn and JOanna PrenTisFor the past twenty years, Stuart Wilson and Joanna Prentis have explored the early Essene community, the life of Jesus and the power of the teachings of Mary Magdalene through the use of past life regression. In the course of these sessions, some fascinating information emerged, including:

● Jesus survived his crucifixion and was spirited away from the tomb.

● There were a number women disciples led by Mary Magdalene.

● The secret role of the Order of Melchizedek in the Essene Community.

● Jesus did not stand alone, but had the full backing of the Essene community, led by Joseph of Arimathea.

Expanding on the information in their first two books, the essenes and Power of the Magdalene, Wilson fully explores the ancient mystery teachings of Mary Magdalene and Jesus that have never been revealed before.

The Path of initiationSpiritual Evolution and the Restoration of the Western Mystery TraditionJ. s. GOrdOn As the precessional cycle transits from Pisces to Aquarius, great shifts in spiritual evolution are on the horizon – not for all of humanity but for those who have undertaken the necessary spiritual preparation and initiatory work. Drawing from his deep immersion in the Mystery traditions of both East and West, author, J. S. Gordon, investigates the initiatic path from ancient times to modern day, detailing the step-by-step process of initiation and the sequence from spiritual aspirant to the highest Adeptship. He explains the natural logic and characteristics of each stage of initiation, including the associated problems and psychological issues that need to be faced in order to move forward to the next stage. He shows how humanity is naturally inclined to spiritual evolution and the development of higher consciousness.
