Jane Greer
This fascinating and surprising book explores the spiritual aspects of the bond that exists between the living and the dead. Dr. Jane Greer began with the belief that this bond was not purely a psychological one but was, in fact, much more dynamic and empowering. It was only in the shattering aftermath of her own mother's death, that she began to explore and understand how to recognize and even initiate an ongoing communication that can have a profound impact on the ways we grieve and heal. In these pages we learn that transcommunication is not simply "a hello from heaven" but a powerful therapeutic tool that is available to any of us. Through the story of her deceased mother's many dream visits and manifestations - as well as those visits her patients receive from their loved ones - we learn to be alert to the signs of such phenomena and to recognize the messages they contain. Through this communication, the pain of grieving can be made more bearable. Ambivalent relationships can be healed. And a loved one's messages can bring relief and joy.

Wilhelm Reich
American Odyssey, compiled from his correspondence and his personal and work journals, chronicles Wilhelm Reich's first years in America. They were years of prodigious accomplishment in which he developed the orgone energy accumulator - the so-called orgone box - published his first books in English, made breakthroughs in his persistent investigation of orgone energy in social pathology, physics, astronomy, and cancer, and interested none other than Albert Einstein in testing his theories. American Odyssey describes more than a period in the life of an embattled scientist. It illuminates the social and intellectual life of a country in a tumultuous time in history. Remainder mark.

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 ...

Frank McLynn
"Complex, controversial, and profoundly influential, Jung presents the biographer with Herculean tasks, and McLynn's performance is heroic. He begins by describing Jung as "not untypical" of the Swiss, that is, conservative, xenophobic, melancholy, and obstinate. A family history follows, a litany of turbulent marriages, inherited clairvoyance, and careers in medicine and the church, all subterraneanly linked to Jung's revolutionary introduction of spirituality into psychology. As McLynn chronicles each stage of Jung's life--from his unhappy school years to his calculated marriage, close collaboration and exceedingly traumatic break with Freud, and the writing of his seminal works - he strikes a balance between deep respect for Jung's brilliant interpretations of the human experience and frank acknowledgement of his lack of compassion, a failing that made him a womanizer, an unloving father, and a Nazi sympathizer. Confounding as his darker side is, Jung was a man of awesome powers and vision, and his revelations will continue to shape our culture for many years to come." - Booklist.

In Children of the New Millennium, P.M.H. Atwater, Lh.D., presents the first serious look at the near-death experiences of children.

This groundbreaking book explores how these special children will dramatically impact the human condition by helping humankind rediscover the spiritual truths needed to survive in our radically changing world. "P.M.H. Atwater's book is a treasure trove of valuable confirmation. As usual, she is on the cutting edge of near-death research. Her book is fascinating.

Melody Beattie
In Choices, the author who changed forever how we experience our relationships once again revolutionizes how we see our lives. Don't do more, be better, or try harder, she says, but understand that all our actions have consequences and we must listen to our hearts and souls to gain a clear sense of how life, relationships, and love really work. We are not helpless; we have choices. We can choose our path and create meaningful lives. Melody Beattie shows us how even the smallest choices matter. By paying attention to everyday decisions and nurturing an intimate awareness of our lives, we build a strong foundation that can support us whenever the most difficult conditions loom large and require us to act. Beattie's compassionate wisdom shines light on the ways we sabotage ourselves from getting what we want and deserve, whether it's tangible -- good relationships, success in our career -- or the intangible benefits of grace, contentment, and peace. By clearly laying out situations in which we tend to give away our power or make decisions that compromise or diminish us, Beattie shows us the true range of choices we actually have. This book is about feeling again -- coming alive, not staying numb. It's about timeless values that we've walked away from, like service, caring about other people -- and ourselves. It's a new look at some great old ideas that will serve us well in our search for happiness, love, and making sense of the mystery of our lives. It's about reconciling the joy and the sadness, the failures and successes in life, and being willing to live comfortably with what we don't understand. It's about being willing to let go of guilt, and to live with pain. Filled with illuminating stories and offering the kind of practical yet inspirational guidance and comfort that have gained Beattie an audience measured in the millions, this book will move anyone who reads it to a new level of personal freedom, power, and wholeness.

In 1986, in the midst of a midlife crisis, Bolen received an invitation to a pilgrimage to sacred sites in Europe. With three other women, she traveled to places such as Chartres Cathedral, Iona, and Glastonbury - where traditionally "one crossed the mists to Avalon, the realm of the Goddess." Bolen interweaves her personal spiritual journey and midlife passage with a discussion of the psychological significance of mythic quests and a reinterpretation of the Grail Legend that illuminates its feminine aspects. Bolen's narrative has a sweetness that lingers with the reader. Many will respond to the author's hopes that her story will remind others of the importance of their own "soul journey."

Thomas Moore
'There's an old saying that a devil is appealing at first but leaves you in despair, while an angel appears terrifying at first but leaves you refreshed and hopeful. This eighth book since Moore's extraordinarily successful Care of the Soul considers loss, pain, conflict, confusion, anger, excess, deviance and other disturbing feelings and behaviors not as devils to be exorcised but as angelic opportunities for deepening and altering the self. Derived from a chapter of the first book titled 'The Gifts of Depression,' the idea is not that suffering per se is good for the soul, but that to regard such visitations merely as suffering is to miss their point and meaning. Art and religion feature more prominently here than psychology, which Moore, a Catholic monk turned therapist, finds too mechanical and fix-it oriented to serve the soul. He adopts F. Scott Fitzgerald's phrase 'the real dark night of the soul' to refer to anything from a short episode to an entire marriage and sees it as an invitation to spiritual cultivation, work that can be intellectual, creative or even physical, but which the monastically trained Moore tends to depict as quiet, solitary reflection. All this is set forth in a fluent, unflaggingly earnest style. Moore, who has an exceptional arsenal of literary and religious lore at his disposal, scatters allusions to figures as various as Madame Bovary, Gandhi, Thomas More and Glenn Gould with dexterity... this book coveys the important if familiar message that spiritual growth entails darkness as well as light.' - Publishers Weekly.

Alfred Ribi
According to Alfred Ribi, the demons and spirits that plagued the lives of ancient and medieval peoples have reappeared today in the form of our psychological complexes - those unconscious feelings, ideas, and impulses that have not been fully integrated into our identity and thus have split away to lead a life of their own. As a result our anxieties and compulsions - related to achievement, power, money, sex, ideologies, and other obsessions - threaten to overwhelm us and sabotage our conscious intentions and efforts. This book serves both as a practical introduction to dealing with our complexes and as an accessible survey of the principles of Jungian psychology.
