Many of us have been desperately hurt and wounded in our lives. Torn between extreme opposites, we may feel ourselves to be flung and pulled in all directions, unaware that there can be a solution. The Transpersonal seeks to clarify the healing process. It's a natural process, like the healing of a wound.

Our hero is bound by honour and family tradition to avenge a past wrong, for this is a tale of vendetta. Long-lasting family feuds often do not work out well. Vendettas can also sour relations between tribes and between nations; we need only recall the long-standing conflicts all over the world.

This new book is written for already qualified professionals who want to add the use of Clay Therapy in their work with children and adolescents.

These Messages have been the foundation and the inspiration of my work. May they reach those who can assimilate their teaching and take it further. The words are witness to the fact that we live in a universe that is alive, sentient, full of wonders, peopled with countless beings in higher dimensions, other galaxies and other planets.

I cannot be the only one who thinks the work of this great Master is exclusively about Hell. 'Dante? - oh, you mean Dante's Inferno!' they say. NO! That's not it. There's far, far more.

Le Rêve du Cosmos est l'histoire d'une quête à plusieurs niveaux pour comprendre les causes de la souffrance humaine et renouer avec une réalité plus profonde que celle que nous habitons dans cette dimension physique de l'expérience. Il cherche à répondre aux questions: "Qui sommes-nous?" et "Pourquoi sommes-nous ici, sur cette planète?" Il est offert à ceux qui recherchent quelque chose au-delà des valeurs superficielles de notre culture, qui peuvent être déçus par les systèmes de croyances religieuses et laïques tels qu'ils sont actuellement présentés et qui remettent en question des valeurs politiques profondément embourbées dans la poursuite du pouvoir. Il est écrit à deux voix: l'une la voix d'une quête personnelle et l'autre qui explore les causes historiques et psychologiques qui ont fait naître notre vision actuelle de la réalité.

Il Sogno del Cosmo è la storia di una ricerca a più livelli per comprendere le cause della sofferenza umana e riconnettersi con una realtà più profonda di quella in cui abitiamo in questa dimensione fisica dell'esperienza. Cerca di rispondere alle domande: "Chi siamo?" e "Perché siamo qui, su questo pianeta?" Viene offerto a coloro che cercano qualcosa al di là dei valori superficiali della nostra cultura, che possono essere disillusi dai sistemi di credenze religiose e secolari come attualmente presentati e che mettono in discussione i valori politici che sono profondamente impantanati nella ricerca del potere. È scritto con due voci: una la voce di una ricerca personale e l'altra che esplora le cause storiche e psicologiche che hanno dato vita alla nostra attuale visione della realtà.

Before the rise of the patriarchy, when most cultures lived within the all enveloping 'body' of the Great Mother, death was accepted as a part of life and the soul's journey on its path to perfection. With the patriarchy came separation from nature, soul, and the loss of connection with the Ancestors. Fear, guilt and anxiety replaced the love, trust and security of living an ensouled life within the divine cosmic ground that gave life to all. Death, in particular, became something to fear, to be resisted rather than prepared for and anticipated as a natural transition towards the light. Over time, as a result, many people are now unaware they have died, especially those who have experienced a sudden or unexpected curtailment of life. They become trapped, believing themselves to be alive and capable of everyday life; attaching themselves to the living as a source of energy to feed their illusion. The 'living' who may be caught up in grief, guilt or any of the other emotions that accompany the death of a loved one, do not realise that their physical or mental health - or both - are suffering as a result. The author wrote this book with the evidence and experience gained from working with clients; partly to educate, but also to encourage family or friends to seek professional help if they noticed any marked changes in health in anyone close to a person who had recently died.

In Melinda Powell's new book on lucid dreaming, she continues to make creative contributions to understanding the mystery of dreams. Lucid dreaming has been a bit of an enigma that has in recent times been given more scientific attention. Melinda takes into account current scientific studies, including the growing literature and findings of the American Psychological Association. In addition to the scientific literature, she is well aware of the long-term recognition and value given to lucid dreaming in a number of depth psychological and spiritual traditions, including the practice of Tibetan dream yoga. Although resonant with Jungian, alchemical, transpersonal and other perspectives, she offers her own individual insights and discoveries into the world of lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming has been described as entering into the experience of a dream while feeling oneself to be conscious within it. Courageously, Melinda explores her own lucid dreams by releasing her 'ego will' - what she comes to call 'Lucid Surrender', a process through which she progressively enters into the Black Light and dark illumination of her dreams. The result of this release leads to an experience parallel with what the alchemists referred to as the lumen naturae, the light of nature or the light of darkness itself - a primordial phenomenon that links light and darkness into what Jung called a coniunctio oppositorum, or unity of opposites.For Melinda, 'Lucid Surrender' and moving beyond binaries open a pathway into the depths of the soul, an alchemical-like and poetic descent, a spiritual journey through which she explores the mercurial wisdom of dreams and advances new ideas that have both personal and archetypal relevance. With remarkable hermetic discipline, Melinda captures and shares her dream experiences and personal life in a way that gives substance to her insights. A remarkable aspect of Melinda's work is the positivity she discovers in her research: the fullness of the void, the awakening and freedom of the heart, and the healing, holiness and illumination she finds in her dreams.

A retelling of the Sufi parable, "The Conference of the Birds", a poem written in the thirteenth century, in which the birds of the Earth face seven invisible monsters in order to save the world.

This book presents rich source material; it makes no claim to being academic, though referring whenever possible to works available to the authors (the bibliography more or less stops with Ian Gordon-Brown's death in 1996). However, those interested in Transpersonal Psychology as an academic discipline will be able to avail themselves of the wealth of original material here and take it into the world of comparative study. Its origins could be traced back way beyond Jung, Frankl, Maslow and Assagioli to Far Eastern and Aboriginal sources, to Greek and later Western teaching, to other great transpersonal pioneers of the twentieth century and forward into the twenty-first.

Barbara Somers leads us into this world with a sure touch. Those among us who were fortunate enough to hear her in person remember the ease, elegance and wisdom with which she handled the weightiest subjects. Here, too, she guides us into the very centre of the symbolic Alchemist's den and through the phases, trials and tribulations of the inner process that helps us to become what we truly are. It's not an easy journey, it has its risks and dangers, but also its moments of joy and glory. And the gold that eventually manifests in the flask of the psyche is an indestructible treasure. Let Transpersonal Alchemy do its work through this book and spread its message far and wide. The world is in dire need of the gold that is, paradoxically, not of this world.
