Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This beautifully illustrated book is both an engaging memoir of the author's intensive involvement with one of the great enigmas of contemporary times and a thrilling prediction of imminent extraterrestrial contact. It is sure to gain wide recognition among both crop circle devotees and those interested in the evolution and future of humanity.How does mankind deal with miracles? This question has assumed a more-than-theoretical importance in the life of Michael Glickman, who has been witnessing the miraculous on a regular basis since he investigated his first crop circle in 1990. In the years since then, an intensive study of the crop-circle phenomenon in the region of its most important appearances-the English countryside-has given Glickman extraordinary personal insight into a subject usually known only through secondhand reports and speculation.More than eight years in the writing, Crop Circles- The Bones of God is unique among books on this modern enigma in that it combines the author's firsthand field encounters with some of the most famous crop-circle formations (such as Alton Barnes 1990 and Silbury Hill 1997, as well as more recent circles) with intricate and dazzling analyses of the structure and content of those formations. This beautifully illustrated mix of personal narrative with detailed study informs a larger discussion of the role of crop circles in the modern world and their unprecedented promise of new chapters in the history of consciousness.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Mary Stein took up aikido in her mid-fifties and quickly learned what it really means to face danger-both external and internal. In this powerful collection of short essays, she vividly describes learning an active and spirited defense on the mat, in the process uncovering a lifetime of habitual tensions and emotional reactions, of flight and ineffective fight. Stein's thoughtful musings make clear how the practice of aikido can show what is really needed, right now. The Gift of Danger is aimed at men and women for whom the question of what is genuine in their lives has taken on fresh urgency. Above all, Stein shows that a sense of danger has extraordinary importance for the martial artist; when danger is present during training, one learns to test limits and respond quickly and accurately. We follow the author as she stands, tentative but determined, on the razor's edge between knowing and not knowing, judgment and impartiality-the only place where real growth can occur. The Gift of Danger is both a striking story of personal growth and a potent argument for aikido as a model for human behavior.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. ***WINNER - IPPY Bronze Book Award - Best Regional Fiction (2009)***WINNER - BookBundlz Best Book (2009-2010 Winter Award)The Hierophant of 100th Street is a remarkable, unusual book- a metaphysical novel set in a violent world of slums, gangs, and prisons. Drawing on the author's experience of growing up in the infamous East Harlem neighborhood of 100th Street in the 1960s, the story follows 17-year-old Adam Kadman and his 9-year-old brother John through their respective initiations into the realities of street life while simultaneously introducing real-life characters who dwell in the life of the spirit.Veiled in the guise of fiction, most of what appears in the book is actually a truthful account of the author's real-life experience. Like the author, the young Adam also ventures out from the slums of New York to discover the meaning of life amid the horrors of existence, and finds romance, mysticism, and purpose.Seeking to extricate himself from 100th Street, Adam is drafted into the army and later travels to Egypt, where in a harsh world of theocrats and misogynists he falls in love with a young Arab woman. Out of his element, he attacks the social structure-and ends up running for his life. He returns back to the old neighborhood only to find it changed . destroyed by an invasion of drugs, betrayal, and murder.By chance he encounters a mysterious man, Clifford Bias (a renowned twentieth-century clairvoyant), and is taken under the wing of the "magus." Discovering his own psychic abilities, Adam enters his mentor's secret society and a world of mysticism and love. Tapping the same rich spiritual vein as The Da Vinci Code and The Celestine Prophecy and written in the stark language of the streets, this daring, cinematic novel explores the ancient truths and metaphysical mysteries hidden in the fabric of everyday life. Adam Kadman, 17 years old, and his 9-year-old brother John start their lives in East Harlem. Like most young men who came of age in the 1960s, Adam is drafted into the Army and sent abroad. In an unexpected sojourn away from the New York City ghetto, Adam finds himself in Egypt. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. ***FINALIST, USA Best Books 2010 Awards - Spirituality & Self-Help- Relationships The quest for lasting love is one of life's essential pursuits, in some ways the most essential. But it's also a quest that's impossible to separate from spiritual and sexual needs. In Eros Ascending, author John Maxwell Taylor offers a wide-ranging study of sexual dysfunction in society and explains how healthy sexuality can be an entryway to universal love and higher consciousness. Based on Taylor's twenty-three-year experience with Taoist practices, the book presents an engaging analysis of love, relationships, and sexuality from spiritual, romantic, and sexual perspectives. Taylor melds essential ideas by Jung, Gurdjieff, and Taoist Master Mantak Chia with science, biology, spiritual tradition, and current popular culture to shed new light on this eternal yet misunderstood subject. Not just for couples, the book is equally useful for single people who want to understand the methods for "learning to love yourself " in preparation for a fulfilling, long-term relationship. Taylor draws on his eclectic background as a successful playwright, composer, actor, and musician in this persuasive plan for converting ordinary sexual energy into food for the soul. ""Eros Ascending" is going to take you on an amazing journey toward the future of love in the Western world." --From the Foreword by Linda E. Savage, PhD, author of "Reclaiming Goddess Sexuality: The Power of the Feminine Way" "Taylor is an erotic visionary after my own heart. "Eros Ascending" is a fun, highly readable next-gen Bible for lovers of sacred sex. While Taoist sexual techniques supply the practical energetic methods, he rolls into one believable, continuous orgasm Kriya Yoga, Gurdjieff, tantric ecstasy, Jungian androgyny, Plato, and sexual communion with deep Earth Goddess. It's loaded with practical 'how-to' tips and decades of amazing stories. He adroitly reverses Christianity's demonization of sex by revealing the inherently erotic nature of Christ-cum-Solar Logos. An enlightening and entertaining must read." --Michael Winn, coauthor with Mantak Chia, "Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy" "Taylor understands the role of Eros as creating interconnection. He unites man and woman, Eros and Psyche, spirit and nature, and heaven and earth, while seeding our hearts and minds with a sense that our true destiny lies in reclaiming for ourselves the beauty of love. A unique and original masterwork." --Radmila Moacanin, PhD, author of "Jung's Psychology and Tibetan Buddhism: Western and Eastern Paths to the Heart" ""Eros Ascending" sharpens our focus on the power of loving consciously and intelligently. The book sweeps us into the twenty-first century with its breadth of vision and message of hope for true lovers everywhere. Destined to become a classic." --Margot Anand, author of "The Art of Sexual Ecstasy: The Path of Sacred Sexualityfor Western Lovers" "Excellent! A sweeping intelligent study of sacred sex long overdue! Especially one helpful to individuals in their spiritual and sexual growth . and useful to popular culture. Those practicing Tantra already will find their excitement rekindled, their minds stimulated, and spirits re-enthused as they move to the next evolutionary stage." --Deborah Sundahl, author of "Female Ejaculation and the G-Spot: Not Your Mother's Orgasm Book!" ""Eros Ascending" profoundly explores the power of shakti and sacred sexuality as life-transforming sacraments. [The book is] a journey into higher states of consciousness and ecstasy." --Charles Muir, author of "Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving" and founder of Source School of Tantra Yoga ""Eros Ascending" is one of the few and finest offerings to honor the concept of the sacredness of sexuality.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Military memoirs abound, but few prove to be trustworthy accounts free of spin, bravura, or military glitter. John Merson's War Lessons takes a rare reflective approach to this pressing issue of our time. In vivid, unadorned prose, he interweaves his own experiences in war with thoughtful assessments of how to prevent it. He highlights the daily experience of combat from the perspective of both the foot soldier and the villager in whose home the war is being fought. When he leaves Vietnam, Merson begins an odyssey that brings him back eight times. The book limns this process as a poignant personal voyage and the author struggles to understand why young people are drawn to war, how it changes those who fight it, why its destructive effects persist on both sides, how former enemies reconcile, and how soldiers wanted to be treated and remembered by the citizens who send them to war. War Lessons also offers hope, suggesting strategies for young people to help the world reclaim its humanity through healing actions such as participating in UN peacekeeping programs, working to prosecute war crimes, and protecting refugees. Portrays the daily experience of war from the perspective of both the foot soldier doing the fighting and the villager in whose home the war is being fought. This book looks at war as an instrument of policy and examines how the actual effects of war can undermine the very purposes for which a war is being fought.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A complete overview of all aspects of combat, from the primitive to the cutting-edge, Immortal Combat uses Bruce Lee's life and work as a martial artist to examine the crucial differences between the soldier and the warrior. It draws an analogy between the ambitions of the competitive, ego-driven martial sportsman, typified by the career of karate champion Joe Lewis, and the spiritual aims of the martial artist, personified by the life of Morehei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido. Bruce Lee represents the man torn between his ambitions and his art, who somehow has to reconcile the two. The book argues that the path of the martial artist is that of self-mastery and self-knowledge, while the ambition of the martial sportsman is to set himself above and apart from others. This thought-provoking read moves beyond the popular image of Bruce Lee as an action hero, placing his life and legacy in a deeper context.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. From the "chop-sockey" kung-fu epics on the big screen to practices like tae kwon do at local community centers, the martial arts have become a major phenomenon in Western culture. In On the Warrior's Path, author Daniele Bolelli examines the central figure in this trend--the warrior--while emphasizing that "the way of the warrior is not a hobby nor is it a collection of fighting techniques and physical exercises. It is a way to wake up, to walk, to drink, to think, to act."An entertaining and insightful history of martial arts and the role of the warrior, drawing on pop culture, philosophy, mythology, religion, and spiritualityThe urge to forge one's character by fighting, in daily life as well as on the mat, appeals to something deep within us. More than a collection of fighting techniques, martial arts constitute a path to developing body, spirit, and awareness. On the Warrior's Path connects the martial arts with this larger perspective, merging subtle philosophies with no-holds-barred competition, Nietzsche with Bruce Lee, radical Taoism and Buddhism with the Star Wars Trilogy, traditional martial arts with basketball and American Indian culture.At the center of all these phenomena is the warrior. Though this archetype seems to manifest contradictory values, author Daniele Bolelli describes the heart of this tension- how the training of martial technique leads to a renunciation of violence, and how overcoming fear leads to a unique freedom. Aimed at students at any level or tradition of martial arts but also accessible to the armchair warrior, On the Warrior's Path brings fresh insights to why martial arts remains an enduring and widespread art and discipline. Two new chapters in this second edition focus on spirituality in the martial arts and the author's personal journey in the field. The urge to forge one's character by fighting, in daily life as well as on the mat, appeals to something deep within us. More than a collection of fighting techniques, martial arts constitute a path to developing body, spirit, and awareness. This title looks at relationship between spirituality and combat sports.
