![]() | “A New Earth” ~ Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle In A New Earth, spiritual teacher and author Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now) advocates present moment awareness and the dismantling of the ego as the path towards awakened living. A New Earth gets its title from a Bible verse referring to the rising of “a new heaven and a new earth.” According to Tolle, “heaven” is the awakened state that will bring about “a new earth” in the outer world, the world of form. Tolle presents A New Earth as a vehicle to bring about a shift in consciousness, though he repeatedly admits that he can only awaken those who are ready for such a transformation. He tells his readers that if they indeed find something within his book that resonates with them, then the shift has already begun, and they are on the path. With millions of Oprah’s Book Club members picking up copies of A New Earth, that path will doubtlessly become a road most traveled. Eckhart’s profound yet simple teachings have already helped countless people throughout the world find inner peace and greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of the teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human evolution. An essential aspect of this awakening consists in transcending our ego-based state of consciousness. This is a prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for the ending of violent conflict endemic on our planet. |
![]() | “Fractual Time” ~ The Secret of 2012 and a New World Age by Gregg Braden What does 2012 mean for us today? History shows that World Age cycles of the past have triggered cataclysmic shifts in the Earth that have altered entire civilizations in the past. Today, the predictions for 2012 and what follows, range from an era of chaos and destruction to a thousand of years of peace and cooperation. What can we really expect from such a rare moment in time? New discoveries suggest that the message of the ancient timekeepers, merged with the best science of today, holds the answer to the mystery and the key to our future. The Bottom Line: If you know where you are in a cycle, then you know what to expect when it repeats! New York Times bestselling author Gregg Braden is internationally renowned as a pioneer in bridging science and spirituality. For more than 25 years, Gregg has searched high mountain villages, remote monasteries, and forgotten texts to uncover their timeless secrets. To date, his work has led to such paradigm-shattering books as The Isaiah Effect, The God Code, The Divine Matrix, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief and his most recent book, Fractal Time: The Secret of 2012 and a new World Age. Gregg’s work is now published in 17 languages and 27 countries and shows us beyond any reasonable doubt that the key to our future lies in the wisdom of our past. |

![]() | “The Responsible Individual” ~ LIFE CHANGING JOURNEY… by Karina Andersen I would like to acknowledge you for making yourself a priority. You are about to start a journey of embracing change and accepting responsibility. You are most probably looking for answers – the very reason that you were attracted to this process in the first place. We all have dreams and are busy booking a lot of flights – pursuing our goals. Yet, before we are able to pursue any direction it is important to know exactly where we start from and who we really are. If we neglect this important detail we often end up running around chasing different goals without the sense of ever arriving. There will always be something missing! No wonder – if the plane leaving for Durban, is boarding in Johannesburg and you are still hanging around in Cape Town – the fact is that you are actually not on board! What I am about to share with you might sound very strange, though, you will as you travel through the book, visiting all aspects of what you are find this to be one very essential truth. This book will not give you the answer. There is no golden recipe, a quick fix nor a band aid. The journey of responsibility is about taking ownership. It is about understanding with all of your being, that absolutely nobody is holding the answer but YOU. The moment we can embrace this, it will be given… |
| “Intimacy” ~ Trusting Oneself and the Other by Osho “Hit-and-run” relationships are common in a society that has grown more rootless, less tied to traditional family structures, and more accepting of casual sex. At the same time arises an undercurrent of feeling that something is missing – a quality of intimacy. Do you fear exposing your vulnerabilities? Do you have the feeling something’s missing–intimacy? Intimacy must be grounded in an inner strength that knows that even if the other remains closed, even if our trust is betrayed, we will not suffer any permanent damage. Learn how to nourish yourself as you create greater openness, trust, and intimacy. In this gentle and compassionate guide, Osho takes the reader step-by-step through what makes people afraid of intimacy, how to encounter those fears and go beyond them, and what they can do to nourish themselves and their relationships to support more openness and trust. Osho’s teachings defy categorization, covering everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing individuals and society today. Osho is known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, with an approach to meditation that acknowledges the accelerated pace of contemporary life. About his own work Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho’s work is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of the East and the highest potential of Western science and technology. |
![]() | “Seven Masters, One Path” ~ Meditation Secrets from the World’s Greatest Teachers by John Selby Seven Masters, One Path brings together the seven primary practices of the world’s most revered spiritual masters — Krishnamurti, Lao-tzu, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, Gurdjieff, and Patanjali — in one simple yet complete program. Finally everyone who wants to learn how to meditate, or to deepen their meditation practice, can turn to one comprehensive guidebook that leads readers gently yet surely into experiencing the seven universal dimensions of daily meditation practice. Seven Masters, One Path guarantees access to deep meditative experience for people seeking relief from emotional and mental stress, and especially for anyone who longs to experience a deeper sense of connection with our spiritual core. John Selby reveals that the underlying intent of the original masters was remarkably similar — to help people to point their attention toward regular contact with the divine, through opening hearts and souls to direct communion with God by whatever name. Psychologist Selby, who has written seven previous meditation and self-help books, here offers a guide to meditative practice as taught by the traditions of Patanjali, Lao-Tzu and the Taoists, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Gurdjieff, and Krishnamurti. While some adherents may not be comfortable with the yoking together of these often disparate traditions, Selby knows his audience, and his work will find a receptive readership among those interested in New Age spirituality. |
