Paperback. Condition: 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. Condition: Very Good. Modern culture is obsessed with controlling women's bodies. Our societies are saturated with images of unreal, idealised female beauty whilst real female bodies and the women who inhabit them are alienated from their own personal and political potential. Under modern capitalism, women are both consumers and consumed: Meat Market offers strategies for resisting this gory cycle of consumption, exposing how the trade in female flesh extends into every part of women's political selfhood. Touching on sexuality, prostitution, hunger, consumption, eating disorders, housework, transsexualism and the global trade in the signs and signifiers of femininity, Meat Market is a thin, bloody sliver of feminist dialectic, dissecting women's bodies as the fleshy fulcrum of capitalist cannibalism.

Paperback. Condition: 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. Condition: Very Good. Both the universe and ourselves are regulated by universal principles. Through understanding these we can move away from the continual pursuit of change and dissolve the barriers that prevent transformation. We can find the inner poise, expand our consciousness and stop being at the mercy of circumstances and fate. Five of these principles are located within the domain of space/time/matter and can be summed up as: gender, causation, correspondence, rhythm and polarity. There are a further four outside the physical universe that can be described as: vibration, creative impulse, insight and communication. Gaston Saint-Pierre has developed the metamorphic technique, an approach to creativity, healing, self-healing, growth and transformation that draws widely on Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity and Western esoteric literature. It is based on the fact that many of our life patterns, including illnesses and behaviour, appear to be implanted into our consciousness at the moment of conception. Understanding these principles allows us to reform our lives. Practically, it involves touching specific areas of the feet, hands and head, allowing innate intelligence to guide life forces towards release of patterns and difficulties, ensuring the release of our potential.

Paperback. Condition: 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. Condition: New. Dr Roberto Assagioli's innovative work, which began in 1n 1910, went beyond his contemporaries, Freud, Jung and Reich, to embrace wholeness on all levels. Because of this, psychosynthesis has become known as 'the psychology of the soul.' This psychospiritual psychology aims to uncover the layers of complexity which render the personal will powerless. Through a process of bringing awareness to unconscious processes in the psyche, each masquerading as 'sub personalities' the self can achieve integration and synthesis between the personality and the Self (spirit). Psychosynthesis aims to heighten awareness of one observing 'I' so that a dialogue can take place between the self (personality) and the Self. This awareness is expanded through visualization exercises, meditation and utilization of the will which can work in service of the 'Divine.' Today psychosynthesis provides a simple, yet scientific template where psychology, soul and spirituality can meet on mutual ground.
