Oneness with All Life

Eckhart Tolle

HC AUD29.95

In the introduction Eckhart Tolle states he selected passages from the original book that are particularly suitable for inspirational or meditative reading.

He does not recommend that you read it from cover to cover, rather to read a page or at the most a chapter at a time, stopping at passages that elicit an inner response, letting the words sink in and sense the truth to which they point.

Oneness with All Life is a beautifully bound book filled with inspirational selections from Eckhart Tolle's bestseller - A New Earth. In selecting the passages, Eckhart has stayed clear of the ego and pain body.

The Mandala of Being

Richard Moss

PB AUD29.95

Richard Moss states that this book has been a true labour of love for him.

In the introduction he describes it as the culmination and distillation of what he has learned in thirty years of teaching about being alive no matter what the circumstances.

He goes on to say that early in his career he realised that it was relatively easy to bring people to a state of radical aliveness where the mind is silent, the body is filled with presence and a new enthusiasm for living is born.

He then realised the secret was about creating activities in which the body and mind are in the same place - in the Now.

Using a simple mandala, he illustrates the four places we go when we feel threatened, uncomfortable, or aren't fully centred or grounded in the present moment.

Like a trail of pebbles left behind on a hike, it helps trace the path back to the authentic self. He offers an always-available compass that directs you back to your true self, and into the magic of the present moment.

Letting Go - a Little Bit at a Time

Guy Finley

PB AUD20.00

The introduction to this gift book is a story about a traveller who feels incomplete despite a number of achievements.

As he wanders around a bazaar his mind is filled with torment as he tries to work out the 'secret' to feeling complete.

He comes across an artist who shares a pearl of wisdom with him " … that's how all great things are achieved: a consistent attention coupled with persistent effort - a little bit at a time - until the right time comes when that work is rewarded. Nothing can stand in the way of what must be released."

The book is perennial calendar featuring 365 life-changing insights into the art of letting go, and includes 100 inspiring photos of Mother Nature.

The End of Your World

Adyashanti

HC AUD50.00

In his introduction Adyashanti states that this book has come about because of the growing need for direction on the spiritual path. "Information about life after awakening is usually not made public, it's most often shared only between teachers and their students", he says

He describes the "I got it/I lost it" phenomenon that perplexes so many people.

That fluctuation between what he describes as 'non-abiding' awakening and the ultimate 'abiding' enlightenment.

With straight talk and insight he points out the pitfalls that 'un-enlighten' us along the journey.

These pitfalls include the ego, the illusion of superiority and the danger of becoming drunk on emptiness.

He teachers that "full awakening comes when you sincerely look at yourself, deeper than you've imagines and question everything."

Adyanshanti began teaching in 1996 after a series of transformational spiritual awakenings, at the request of his Zen teacher with whom he had been studying for fourteen years.

Also available as an audio book

Theory U

C. Otto Scharmer

PB AUD49.95

We are living in times of massive institutional failure, one that requires a new consciousness and a new collective leadership capacity.

Otto Scharmer invites us to see the world in new ways and discover a revolutionary approach to leadership.

Based on ten years of research and action learning and interviews with over 150 practitioners an though leaders, Theory U offers a rich and diversity of compelling stories and examples as well as including dozens of exercises and practices that allow leaders and entire organizations to shift awareness and connect with the best future possible.

He starts with the premise that what we pay attention to and how we pay attention is key to what we create. What prevents us from attending to situations more effectively is that we aren't fully aware of and in touch with the inner place from which attention and intention originate.

This is what he calls the blind spot. As you move through the U process you consciously access the blind spot and connect with your authentic self.
