The Winner Stands Alone

Paulo Coelho

PB AUD33.00

'A Beretta Px4 compact pistol is a little bigger than a mobile phone‚ weighs around 700 grams and has a capacity of 10 shots. Small and light‚ it leaves no visible mark in the pocket carrying it and its small calibre has an enormous advantage: instead of crossing the victim's body‚ the bullet shatters the bones and tears everything it finds in its path.'

This is the beginning of The Winner Stands Alone‚ Paulo Coelho's 12th novel‚ a merciless portrait of the elites, from fashion to politics, that define the course of the world we live in.

Set backstage at the Cannes Film Festival‚ The Winner Stands Alone stages film directors‚ producers‚ stylists‚ models‚ consecrated actors and candidates for stardom to narrate the story of a serial killer who‚ obsessed with the woman that abandoned him‚ spreads panic in the world of the celebrities gathered in the French city.

Fractal Time

Greg Braden

PB AUD26.95

In a powerful yet comprehensible style Gregg Braden merges the modern discoveries of nature's patterns (fractals) with the ancient view of a cyclic universe.

The result is a powerful model of time-fractal time. Applying fractal time to the history of the world and life, he proposes that everything from war and peace between nations to the patterns of human relationships, mirror the returning cycles of our past.

As each cycle repeats, it carries a more powerful, amplified version of itself. He states that if you know where to look in the past, you know what to expect when the same conditions return in the present and future and gives us the tool to do just that!

Through easy-to-understand science and step-by-step instructions you will discover: how the conditions for 2012 have occurred in the past, and what we can expect when they repeat; the "hot dates" that hold the greatest threats of war, and the greatest opportunities for peace and how each cycle carries a window of opportunity that allows us to select a new outcome for the returning pattern.

Measuring the Immeasurable

Various

HC AUD40.00

Can your thoughts heal another person, even from across the globe? Does meditation create "superhuman" levels of perception? Can prayer and intention actually affect reality?

A few decades ago, scientists would have dismissed such ideas as superstition.

Today, a growing body of persuasive research has turned many skeptics into believers when it comes to the power of spirituality.

Measuring the Immeasurable brings together some of the most prominent authorities on the new frontier where science and spirit intersect, including:

• Bruce H. Lipton- The Biology of Belief- on the science of epigenetics, and how consciousness shapes our health, genetics, and evolution
• Lynne McTaggart- The Field- with the latest findings on the power of mind over matter from her ongoing "Intention Experiment"
• Gregg Braden- The Divine Matrix and Fractal Time- on how how prayer and intention can affect events on a global scale
• Gary Small- The Longevity Bible- on lifestyle changes that improve brain function
• Daniel Goleman Social Intelligence on "the brain's melody" and our moment-to-moment perceptions
• Candace Pert- Molecules of Emotion- on the intimate relationship between mind and body to name but a few.

Awakening - Authentic Meditation

Yogi Brahmasamhara

PB AUD33.00

The standout problem in our society is the life-pressure under which we place ourselves and that leads to the suffering of 'uber-stress', stored tension, illness and disease.

If you have watched how babies and small children are focused completely in the moment, and blissfully happy as they look around themselves in awe of their surroundings, they experience a purity of meditation - an openness of being that most people have long forgotten how to experience.

Awakening Meditation is about living in the now. Sydney Based Meditation teacher and author Yogi Brahmasamhara presents his 'Ways' of letting go of barriers to enable you to practise unveiling an awakened, naturally exhilarating engagement with life.

He states that meditation is largely misunderstood in the Western World with many people having preconceived ideas surrounded by myth and unwarranted mysticism. This is a book that 'teaches' true meditation comprehensively.
