We are living in exciting times. World peace is something we have all wanted but was seemingly unachievable. Now, however, through a global humanity awakening, our aspiration for a harmonious society is within our reach. Through the irony of paradox, this book theorises that by understanding what we do not want we can establish what we do want. If peace is what we want, surely this can be created by practising the polar opposite of war?Using psychospiritual philosophy and quantum psychology, Susan Broomhall is part of the global community currently co-creating heaven on earth. It is Susan's belief that global peace and harmony and the co-creation of the new humanity is assured - if everyone trusts in themselves as creators of peace.While each individual is contributing to the rich and diverse tapestry of humanity, not everyone understands what this means. This book reveals 'how to' create a harmonic new humanity through the art of peace. World peace starts with you.

You want to do what? Live in solitude next to the rainforest while you find your real self? Do not do this.His rational brain had no idea.The Creek is based on a true story and is about a young man who leaves the Darling River in western New South Wales to live next to the rainforest in South-East Queensland at a place called The Creek.At The Creek, he searches for his real self, the one he thinks will find if he lives in solitude. His self-reflection, his searching, and his day-to-day within this solitude are occasionally beautiful, often mind-bending, and usually way too political. There are big swear words, sexual adventures that may or may not startle you, and possibly too many judgements laid upon those whom he deems not so much as inferiors, just total dickheads. You have all met a few.The building of his house, and the subsequent vegie gardens, are done with limited skills. The genuine guesswork and multiple mistakes are below basic levels of arbitrary. The rainforest descriptions, the bird observations, and the character analyses of the locals are somewhat random and do not follow known patterns, norms or legal requirements needed to partake in civilised society. Thank God. The metaphors are accompanied by solace, the optimism joined by lilting bullshit, and the analogies quaint.After many years at the Creek, and a devastating trauma, he misses the Darling River, but he still wants to hang on to The Creek. What to do? If he returns to the Darling River, will it be enough to soothe the pain? Anyway, how is that search for the real self-going?This story is about an individual on the edge of society, who rarely listens to his rational brain and only occasionally to his emotional brain, and it is about landscape, lust and life itself.

Escape into a rich world of family intrigue and self-discovery that reaches across three centuries and across cultures. This unique tale draws us gently into itself but it also stimulates discussion about other important issues that remain current.At a time when Australia had its back turned on Asia and when White Australia buried its origins, a curious girl refused to accept the stuffy options on offer and reached out beyond the confines of her known world in search of love and something more. It began as an escape but became a much deeper quest. Her adventures took her from Australia to Bougainville, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Bangladesh and Thailand as she collided with love, betrayal, political flashpoints and destiny in a journey of metamorphosis.Given a pack of cards that dictate our gender, place of birth, time of birth, that can spell poverty, revolution, persecution or comfort, love and ease, how do each of us manage these and what chance is there of rising above them through the choices we make? Is our fate written? Do we let our shadows lead us to repeat our mistakes? What power do we have to create our own destiny? What is it that all human beings want most despite culture and so-called accidents of birth? Is it just to eat, pray and love or to give something more to the world around them?

As a young Friar I was fortunate to spend some time on my own in reflection and meditation, as I wandered in the Holy Land, including Jerusalem and elsewhere, Dorset in the United Kingdom, and Assisi in Italy. I see this an important moment of pilgrimage in my life. This volume was crafted at that time. Moments of beauty, lucidity and exploration are reproduced for you here, in the hope that you might also make some sense of what can only ever be, your own deeply personal journeys.

Turn it Up! is part-memoir of my time as a musician and journalist, and part-pop history, examining some of the unsung or more interesting bands which I have connected with in some way since I began listening to the radio as a kid.It begins with my first concert experience as a thirteen-year-old watching Ike and Tina Turner. I then revisit the records that impacted on me as a young teenager and the music that spurred me on to play myself when I was older. I weave in and out of my chequered progress in music, while pausing now and then to shine a light on the way rock music evolved in the eighties and nineties. The mood is studious and knowledgeable but also light and comedic as I revisit some of my more eventful interviews I conducted with acts such as Bjork, Nirvana and Pulp. Throughout the book I detail the way my own bands became successful, but not quite successful enough, and detail the various catastrophes which may have contributed to that. I introduce the reader to some of the more eccentric characters I have met through music, from Lenny the Launceston punk, who burned down his own shop accidentally, to Kevin Shields from the band My Bloody Valentine who took 55 minutes to answer one question I'd put to him. The book is not dissimilar to Giles Smith's Lost In Music, but that book is very much of the UK in the '80s, and doesn't examine the strange dynamic between the interviewer and the interviewee, which can veer between both parties wishing they were doing something else, to a more edgy encounter where the possibility of a 'scoop' gets the blood rushing. The book ends with some reflections on why music can be the most constant and loved companion in our lives. Turn It Up! is 55 000 words long.

The 2 tomes, Infinity of Zeitgeist Doppelgangers and The Compleat OWL: The Forever Zeitgeist 1950-2050, have been created primarily for a reader-market who hasn't been born yet. Through the lens of satire they will read about the thoughts, beliefs and aspirations of those who lived in our 'Century of Insanity', 1950-2050. But current generations might also be interested in learning what all 'our' thoughts are 'now' according to the psychologist author. Hubris, (individual and species) will take a back seat to enlightenment as ordinary characters wrestle with intuitive realisations of infinite cosmic evolution to 'perfect intelligence.'It's also a literary phenomenon which places Australia, the little big country, in the global headlight. The two books, a combined sixteen hundred plus pages, are not created to just facilitate further thought and discussion but to galvanise real action to address obvious global social injustices and resource imbalances.For readers alive in our current epoch, in this Century of Insanity, the target reader market is Baby Boomers; especially those who might be feeling guilty about the way civilisation has ended up under their watch.Infinity of Zeitgeist Doppelgangers - Volume OneHere are four cosmic tales where names, time, places, characters, genders and plots are, in one sense, arbitrary. They are just shadows of the doppelgängers that inhabit an infinite number of universes where chronology is meaningless.Yet they share the constancy of the cosmic zeitgeist. In this case the Century of Insanity 1950-2050. Alien TouchThe Vampire Club has tentacles around the world, holding key business and political members in a fatal lock. The mysterious, secretly held happenings of the Sydney 2000 Olympics are finally revealed.Greenwars: The End of MankindAnimal Farm for the 21st century. Animals are the sole survivors of Mankind's annihilation, and take over the remnants of human civilization. Anything can happen in an infinite cosmos.Pie SquarePie Square is the benign exploitation of youth through an addictive, technically sophisticated fast food chain ... Awareness is building of an invisible 'Cosmic unity'. Coming of Age: Near End of the BeginningIn the 1960s-70s, young Adam struggles to find his place in contemporary society. He brings the self-help concept to fruition, experiences the rigours of capitalism and the responsibility of playing with nuclear power; all the while unknowingly monitored by a cosmic entity.This literary phenomenon starts the Australian journey from 'good ideas' to Global leadership ... and far beyond!
