In this authorized biography of an amazing woman, we learn the story of Amma's humble beginnings in a poor remote village in southern India, where she was rejected by her family because they felt her skin was too dark. Forced into servitude as a victim of racial prejudice in her own family, Amma discovered her divine calling was to comfort others, and so embarked on a quest to provide healing through the simple grace of hugging people: black, white, yellow, and brown; rich and poor; healthy and sick. As the number of people she hugged increased, word of her healing powers spread. And what began as one woman's journey on foot has become the driving force behind an international organization promoting awareness of a greater spiritual journey and providing healing to millions around the globe.

Gregg D Jacobs
Why, at a time we're better off materially and live longer than any generation in history, are depression and stress reaching epidemic rates? As Dr. Gregg Jacobs argues, emerging scientific research suggests our emotional well-being is suffering due to our overreliance on the Thinking Mind - the rational, verbal, self-conscious part of ourselves. In the course of history we have gradually become severed from a deeper, older part of our humanity. Dr. Jacobs offers a practical program for re-engaging with this indelible part of our being, explaining how to access life-enhancing positive emotions while minimizing negative ones; connect with a more intuitive intelligence and foster a deeper, expanded sense of daily awareness; and achieve a more integrated concept of self through a closer harmony of intellect and emotion.

Marilyn Ferguson
Marilyn Ferguson has for the past two decades been one of the foremost philosophers and chroniclers of the holistic movement, during a period when holism has risen like a bright shining star in the early evening sky. The Aquarian Conspiracy chronicles the activities of an enthusiastic network of eminent and powerful movers and shakers from diverse fields working to bring about radical change and create a more cooperative society through a benign conspiracy for a new human agenda. Originally published in 1980 The Aquarian Conspiracy has sold over 1.5 million copies and was voted one of the 10 most important books of the 20th century by a prestigious European literary guild.
Excerpts:
As one chronicler of the sixties remarked, "LSD gave a whole generation a religious experience." But chemical satori is perishable, its effects too overwhelming to integrate into everyday life. For whatever glories the mushrooms and saturated sugar cubes contained, they were only a glimpse - coming attractions, but not the main feature. The entry-point experience hints that there is a brighter, richer, more meaningful dimension to life. Some are haunted by that glimpse and drawn to see more. Others, less serious, stay near the entry point, playing with the occult, drugs, consciousness-altering games. Some are afraid to go on at all.
Fear can keep us from innovating, risking, creating. Yet we settle for only the illusion of safety. We prolong our discomfort, and we are troubled in our sleep. On one level we know that we are in danger, avoiding change in a changing world. The only strategies imaginative enough to rescue us will come from listening to our "other" consciousness ...
Scattered brotherhoods, religious orders, and small groups explored what seemed to be extraordinary reaches of conscious experience ... they had no way to disseminate their discoveries widely ... quite suddenly, in this decade ... the riches of many cultures are available to whole populations ...

George Crane
Tsung Tsai is a 75-year-old Ch’an (or Zen) Buddhist monk, a famed calligrapher, a vegetarian. He does not drink. He is the last remaining practitioner from Puu Jih, a remote monastery in Inner Mongolia that was long ago levelled by the Communists. After the Communist takeover, hundreds of thousands of monks throughout China fled their monasteries or disguised themselves as civilians fearing for their lives. Untold thousands were beaten to death under Mao's rule for their religious beliefs. To escape famine and persecution Tsung Tsai walked the length of China, north to south, escaping to Hong Kong in 1959. It took him a year. Between 1958 and 1962, because of a campaign to industrialise China that Mao Zedong called the Great Leap Forward, 30 million Chinese starved to death. Tsung himself barely escaped being one of them. The book describes in horrifying detail the scenes he encountered on his flight out of China. Forty years later he returns to China with George Crane, his neighbour. Crane is a poet, a world traveller with a long list of odd jobs on his resume, thrice-married and a life-long seeker. He is a self-proclaimed Buddhist who doesn't like to meditate. "I am too fidgety," he laughs. Tsung Tsai is in search of his Buddhist master’s earthly remains to give them the proper burial they deserved. Crane's love for the old monk and a desire to know the source of Tsung's serenity keep him in a constant tug of war between doubting and believing. This tension and the observations that arise from Crane's questioning of himself and his companion make the book both meaningful and accessible. “As if a Ch’an master stepped out of the ancient tales and took you on a journey both moving and inspiring.” - Jack Kornfield. Highly recommended.
