The Beast. We all know it. We're surrounded by it. Mass culture; consumerism; materialism; the endless quest for wealth, goods, and celebrity; a continuous scroll of names and events. The Princess Diana saga, gangsta rap, Beavis and Butt-head, violence in the movies and TV, thinking machines and mechanized humans, exaggerated nationalism, sports rage, the domination of art by commerce. Should we jump headlong into popular culture or retreat from it into meditation? There is another way. Sevak Gulbekian offers a middle approach where we can hold our own ground in the midst of it all. In a manner both practical and inspiring, he shows how to take your spiritual focus right into the belly of popular culture, to really get within its skin and work within the Beast itself and comprehend it. All of it has meaning for us, even the seemingly destructive and evil aspects. All of it can be interpreted in terms of deep, underlying currents and trends in human evolution and spirituality. And it can be changed, from within, by us.

I died in the Battle of the Somme... These were the astonishing first words spoken to clairvoyant and healer Stephen Turoff by the soul of James Legett, a young soldier who was killed in World War I. For two years, the world famous psychic surgeon communicated with the soldier's soul and, in the process, wrote down his remarkable story―not the tale of Legett's tragically short life on the physical plane, but of his death on a battlefield in France and his soul's subsequent journey into the afterlife. Although he works with many discarnate spirits in his clinic, the dyslexic Turoff was initially reluctant to undertake the task of writing a book. But he was persuaded by the boisterous and genial soul of the dead man. Their literary collaboration involved an unusual method: Legett presented spiritual pictures to Turoff, who interpreted them into words with clairvoyant perception. The result is this enlightening testimony of life beyond the illusion of death, filled with insight, spiritual wisdom, and delightful humor. It is written to show that we are all eternal; there is no death―only change.

Much plagiarised and its contents distorted over the years, Stein's seminal work is a classic of original scholarly and spiritual research. In studying the central Grail narrative - Parzival by Wolfram von Eschenbach - Stein takes a twofold approach. On the one hand he searches historical records in order to identify actual people and events hidden behind the Grail epic's veil of romance. And on the other hand, he deciphers Eschenbach's hidden spiritual messages, revealing Parzival to be an esoteric document containing mighty pictures of the human being's inner path of development. 
Stein reveals the period of the ninth century to be of more than historical and academic interest. It is the karmic ground out of which the destiny of modern times grows - the mighty battle that must take place between the powers of the Grail and the sinister anti-Grail forces at large today.

These two short fiction works by Barbro Karlén―best-selling author of And The Wolves Howled―are a remarkable literary and visionary feat. In When the Storm Comes, the young Barbro writes in parable-like form, with the prophetic gifts and maturity of a seer, foretelling the catastrophic results of mistreating the earth. A Moment in the Blossom Kingdom is an inspired, imaginative journey into other worlds. Both works provide a glimpse into an exceptionally gifted, visionary child's secret world filled with love and humor.

Carlos Castaneda meets Jack Kerouac in an unforgettable true story: a metaphysical quest for the Grail through initiation and inner vision.... Disillusioned with his life as an entrepreneur in the mid-1980s, Richard Leviton headed for the ancient Celtic town of Glastonbury, England, on a quest for meaning. Arriving on Easter Sunday, his rebirth as a modern Grail knight was soon to begin. What’s Beyond That Star records the true story of Leviton’s spiritual awakening and his subsequent adventures on a metaphysical search for the Holy Grail, tracing his inner and outer journeys. Guided by a psychic friend and the family of angels whom he comes to know as “Blaise,” Leviton finds himself initiated into new realms of consciousness. One day he is an ordinary person relying on the relatively dense perception of the five senses, the next he is living in a world full of angels, gnomes, demons and dragons.

Michel Odent, the leading pioneer for natural childbirth, indicates that the period between conception and a child’s first birthday is critical to life-long health. In this prophetic book—first published in 1986 and reproduced here in its original form—he argues that different parts of the ‘primal adaptive system’ develop, regulate and adjust themselves during fetal life and the time around birth and infancy. "Everything which happens during this period of dependence on the mother has an influence on this basic state of health, this primal health." He suggests that the later well-being of adults, their ability to withstand the "diseases of civilization" such as hypertension, cancer, alcoholism and failures of the immune system resulting in AIDS, allergies and viral diseases, can all be traced back to society’s ignorance of the vital importance of the primal period. 
Since the first edition of this groundbreaking work, research has continued apace, offering further evidence to substantiate Odent’s ideas. In the important new Introduction and Postscript, the author reviews recent developments and relates them to the central themes of Primal Health. 
This book is essential reading for all who care about the health of our children and the ongoing health of society as a whole.

Following a formative childhood meeting with the soul of her recently deceased grandmother, Natalie Osborne-Thomason’s consuming interest has been to research and write about ghosts. As a natural psychic, she is blessed with the gift of being able to deepen this quest beyond the capacities of most ghost hunters, allowing her to sense, perceive and experience what many cannot.

In her thoughtful conclusion, the author suggests a solution to the mystery of ghosts, and indicates how ghosts might manifest. She also gives a list of ghostly locations for would-be ghost hunters.
