Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Have you ever looked at the clock and been surprised at how often it says 11.11 or 2.22 or 3.33? "The 11:11 Code" tells the story of yoga teacher Hilary Carter, who was brave enough to follow the coincidences around numbers to see what would happen. To her amazement the number signs, in particular 11.11, led her to buy an ancient convent in Andalucia, Spain. The problems this led her to were in a different league to the normal "restoring old continental properties" so common on our TV screens today. Her financial backer died, her first builder ended up in prison and her second builder was paralysed in a tragic accident. But that scratches the surface. Formerly a home to the Knights Templar, the building was both haunted and seemed to have a will of its own.This exploration of synchronicity, destiny and past lives sits with The Celestine Prophecy as an inspiring example of discovering meaning behind events. It further looks at the modern explosion of interest in the significance of 11.11, and how as a binary number it links directly to the current wars in Iraq, the Lebanon and Afghanistan. With the difference, of course, that this is a true story. You will never look at the world in the same way after reading this book, for once you are awakened to the 11.11 sign, there is no going back to sleep.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Our lives are directed, either consciously or unconsciously, by our most fundamental beliefs and values. But where did those beliefs and values come from? Up until now, most of us who grew up in the West have only had two choices - either accept, lock, stock and barrel, the beliefs and values of the faith and culture we were brought up in, or reject that faith and choose another one that reflects more clearly our own sense of soul. But choosing between the many different brands on the shelves of the current 'spiritual supermarket' is no easy task - Christianity or Zen Buddhism? And what many of us have found is that even in the 'new' faith, any direct spiritual experience of our own was often denied. The new faith's own established dogma usually said that it alone had the spiritual authority to validate our experience. Now The Quest opens up another path. It does not tell you what to think or believe. Instead, it gives you some very powerful tools to re-examine, re-appraise and rebuild your most fundamental beliefs and values and then re-integrate them into your life. It does not reject the established faiths but offers you the chance to create and validate your own sense of soul - a faith that works for you - that sees you as a unique individual with your own spiritual authority and expression. Widely acclaimed for excellence and quality, The Quest is already in use worldwide by individuals, by people working in small groups, in the community, in churches, in colleges and universities. The Quest is linked to and promoted by the latest of the Quest series of specials in the, A Passion for Life, due from PBS in March 2005, which have consistently captured top ratings and reached 90 million households across North America, as well as being broadcast in Europe and Israel.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The question whether or not we survive physical death has occupied the minds of men and women since the dawn of recorded history. The spiritual traditions of both West and East have taught that death is not the end, but modern science generally dismisses such teachings. The fruit of a lifetime's research and experience by a world expert in the field, Is There An Afterlife? presents the most complete survey to date of the evidence, both historical and contemporary, for survival of physical death. It includes mediumship and channelling, spontaneous cases, hauntings, apparitions, near death experiences, out of the body experiences, Electronic Voice Phenomenon, Instrumental Transcommunication and recent laboratory work. It accepts that evidence is often disputed but makes the claim that much of the phenomena is inexplicable without some form of survival. It looks at the question of what survives-personality, memory, emotions and body image-in particular exploring the question of consciousness as primary to and not dependent on matter in the light of recent brain research and quantum physics. It discusses the possible nature of the afterlife, the common threads in Western and Eastern traditions, the common features of "many levels," group souls and reincarnation. As well a providing the broadest overview of the question, giving due weight to the claims both of science and religion, Is There An Afterlife? brings it into personal perspective. It asks how we should live in this life as if death is not the end, and suggests how we should change our behaviour accordingly. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. On April 8th, 2002 Andrew Furlong, the Anglican Dean of Clonmacnoise in Ireland, came before a heresy trial for denying the divinity of Christ. This the story of how the church in one part of the world brought one of its own to a heresy trial for being honest about what many clergy in churches throughout the world believe, though they are afraid to say, that the Bible cannot be taken as a literal statement of fact. Andrew Furlong sees himself, like so many do today, as belonging to an evolving religious tradition. We create our own religions to the changing ways we understand the universe that is our home. Our ideas of God and of our own identity evolve with that developing understanding. As well as an account of the ordeal Andrew Furlong went through, as he was forced to leave his church's ministry after 30 years of service, "Tried for Heresy" tells the story of how and why a very human Jewish figure, the historic Jesus, was presented as both human and divine and transformed into Christ, Saviour and Living Lord. These hallowed titles impede a credible 21st century faith. More importantly, if we can see as part of the diverse human response to the inevitable risk and certainty, love and beauty of this life, this puts the historic conflicts between the old religions in a new light. Could conflict lead to peace? "Tried for Heresy" should be useful reading for anyone interested in reconciling knowledge with faith. It highlights the questions of liberal identity and of how a church that doesn't admit pluralism can survive in the modern world. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Shaman, artist and author Elen Sentier writes, "I was first taught the trees of the goddess as a child. The old ones from the village would tell us about the tree, how it lives, what creatures it lives with, its whole environment. They would tell us stories then we would go to the tree and sit with it, listen to what it had to show and tell us. Later, we would ask it for a piece of its wood to make its spirit- home. These were rituals but all so natural and normal they were just a part of life and living for me as I grew up. TREES OF THE GODDESS will help you find your way of doing this.".
