The Empty Path: Finding Fulfillment Through the Radical Art of Lessening

"A guide to embracing emptiness to declutter the mind and distill our experience of daily life to its essential beauty, clarity, and joy A clear and empowering antidote to our culture’s never-ending quest for more, The Empty Path is a how-to manual for cultivating the Buddhist principle of emptiness as the source of fundamental satisfaction in our lives. By exploring this often-misunderstood core teaching, author Billy Wynne dispels the common misconception that peace and fulfillment come via accumulation or achievement. Instead, he presents “the art of lessening” as the path to appreciating the depth and beauty contained in each moment. Wynne uses real-life examples and accessible practices to help us realize our inherent wholeness, overcome the barriers to lasting happiness, and replace anxiety with unbounded gratitude and ease."

Child of Earth and Starry Heaven

"L. Annette Binder’s Child of Earth and Starry Heaven is a memoir of motherhood, memory and memory loss. It looks to mythology, science, poetry, history, and fiction to find beauty and meaning even as Annette’s mother succumbs to Alzheimer’s disease. Sad and joyous, the book is a meditation on what makes us human. Kirkus notes that, 'The author writes with the probing lyricism of a poet... Readers will admire Binder's refusal of sentimentality, observant eye and determination to grasp answers that seem always on the verge of evaporation. An illuminating and moving meditation on dementia. (Our Verdict: GET IT.)' Foreword Reviews concludes that, “The prose is infused with love, exhibiting the grace Binder found in others and for herself...Despite the book's inevitable ending, there is no sense of tragedy to be found—only kinship.” James Brown, author of Apology to the Young Addict, calls the book 'a hauntingly powerful work of the sort only the very best of writers may hope to achieve in a lifetime,' while Harvard neuroscientist Daniel Schacter, author of The Seven Sins of Memory, calls it 'an essential book that both moves and informs.”"

Breaking Waves: Discovery, Healing and Inspiration in the Open Water: Discovery, Healing and Inspira

"The open water. To the uninitiated, it represents the unknown, an expanse of mystery and uncertainty. But to those who brave the wild waters, it is so much more. A space to heal. A place of communion. A balm to quieten the mind, soothe the soul, and allow you to reconnect with the world and yourself. Emma Simpson discovered wild swimming after a period of immense pain. Lost in grief, disillusioned with life, and feeling increasingly untethered from the world, she instinctively felt the pull of the water. There she found an unexpected source of hope and strength, a profound sense of connection, and a glorious sisterhood of women - each with their own remarkable stories to tell. Interweaving the tales of these inspirational women with reflections on her own experiences, Emma explores themes ranging from devastating loss to birth and rebirth; chronic illness to body confidence. Whether describing the taste of an iceberg or a kiss from a baby whale, Breaking Waves is a love letter to womanhood and the open water. It's also a celebration of community, renewal and the power of writing your own life story. Above all else, it is a joyous celebration of going with the flow."

The Occult Elvis: The Mystical and Magical Life of the King

""A lively new book." —The Guardian "Spine-chilling exposé." —The Daily Mail • Draws on firsthand accounts from Elvis's wife, Priscilla, his friends and family, the Memphis Mafia, and his spiritual advisors • Looks at key teachers who influenced him, including Yogananda, H. P. Blavatsky, and Manly P. Hall • Examines Elvis's efforts as a natural healer, the significance of his UFO encounters, and his telekinetic, psychic, and astral traveling abilities Elvis Presley, the most successful solo artist in history and an emblematic cultural figure of the Western world, has been widely perceived as a conservative Southern Christian. However, the truth about the man has been missed. Writer and researcher Miguel Conner reveals how Elvis was a profound mystic, occultist, and shaman. Beginning with the unusual circumstances of his birth—and his stillborn twin brother—Conner traces the diverse thread of mysticism that runs through Elvis Presley's life, drawing on firsthand accounts from the people closest to him, including his wife, Priscilla, the Memphis Mafia, and his spiritual advisors. He shows how Elvis studied seminal 19th- and 20th-century occultists, including H. P. Blavatsky, Manly P. Hall, G. I. Gurdjieff, and P. D. Ouspensky, and was a devotee of Indian yogi Paramahansa Yogananda. Conner argues that Elvis was well-versed in the esoteric practices of sex magic, meditation, astrology, and numerology and had a deep familiarity with Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Theosophy, and Eastern traditions. He also reveals how Elvis was a natural healer, telekinetic, psychic, and astral traveler who had significant mystical experiences and UFO encounters. Looking at the conspiratorial and paranormal aspects of Elvis's life, the author explores the 'Elvis visitations' that have occurred since the King's death and the general high weirdness of his life. As Conner convincingly argues, Elvis was not just a one-of-a-kind rock-and-roller. He was the greatest magician America ever produced."

Worshipped as the human embodiment of the Goddess, the earthly Sophia, her womb was the spiritual luminatrix that anointed and empowered Jesus, transforming him into the Christ. As a priestess of the Goddess, Mary Magdalene knew how to embody the light and the dark, how to harness the magic potency of sacred sexual energy, and how to cleanse, awaken, and resurrect the soul. Yet, even though she sparked the creation of a worldwide religion, her story and teachings have been forgotten. Unveiling the lost left-hand path of the Magdalene, the Feminine Christ, authors Seren and Azra Bertrand explore how this underground stream of knowledge has been carried forward over the millennia through an unbroken lineage of Womb Shamans, Priestesses, Oracles, and Medicine Women. They explain how the Magdalene Mysteries, symbolized by the Rose, have been encoded in Gnostic codices and gospels and in the highest art, literature, and architecture of many ages, including most significantly the Ghent Altarpiece. They examine Mary Magdalene's connection to moon wisdom, sacred harlot archetypes, and goddesses in many traditions, including Isis, Inanna, Asherah, Lilith, and Jezebel, and look at shamanic, tantric, and Cathar expressions of sacred feminine mysteries as well as the Witch and Templar roots of Robin Hood and Maid Marian. In this revelatory and magical text on the lost feminine mystery traditions of Mary Magdalene and the lineage of Sophia, the authors present encompassing theological, historical, mythological, and archetypal wisdom, with rituals and practices to initiate you into the Womb magic of the ancient priestesses and the path of the wild feminine."

Gnostic Philosophy: From Ancient Persia to Modern Times

"An extensive examination of the history of gnosticism and how its philosophy has influenced the Western esoteric tradition • Explains how the Gnostic understanding of self-realization is embodied in the esoteric traditions of the Rosicrucians and Freemasons • Explores how gnosticism continues to influence contemporary spirituality • Shows gnosticism to be a philosophical key that helps spiritual seekers 'remember' their higher selves Gnosticism was a contemporary of early Christianity, and its demise can be traced to Christianity's efforts to silence its teachings. The Gnostic message, however, was not destroyed but simply went underground. Starting with the first emergence of Gnosticism, the author shows how its influence extended from the teachings of neo-Platonists and the magical traditions of the Middle Ages to the beliefs and ideas of the Sufis, Jacob Böhme, Carl Jung, Rudolf Steiner, and the Rosicrucians and Freemasons. In the language of spiritual freemasonry, gnosis is the rejected stone necessary for the completion of the Temple, a Temple of a new cosmic understanding that today's heirs to Gnosticism continue to strive to create. The Gnostics believed that the universe embodies a ceaseless contest between opposing principles. Terrestrial life exhibits the struggle between good and evil, life and death, beauty and ugliness, and enlightenment and ignorance: gnosis and agnosis. The very nature of physical space and time are obstacles to humanity's ability to remember its divine origins and recover its original unity with God. Thus the preeminent gnostic secret is that we are God in potential and the purpose of bona fide gnostic teaching is to return us to our godlike nature. Tobias Churton is a filmmaker and the founding editor of the magazine Freemasonry Today. He studied theology at Oxford University and created the award-winning documentary series and accompanying book The Gnostics, as well as several other films on Christian doctrine, mysticism, and magical folklore. He lives in England."

[German] - Das Seelenkaufhaus: Spirituelle Erzählungen

"Meine Erzählungen, die ich auch selbst spreche, führen in das Reich der Seele. Die aus inneren Bildern entstandenen Geschichten beschreiben die ganze Bandbreite von Gefühlen, die alle Menschen haben und in denen sie sich wiederfinden können. Sie erinnern an Märchen, die viele aus ihrer Kindheit kennen und die uns in das Reich der Träume führen. Die Erzählungen dienen zum Eintauchen in die eigene Welt der Seele, zum Innehalten, zum Erkennen, Entspannen, Lachen, Weinen und Staunen. Beim Hören entstehen eigene Bilder, die tröstend, erkennend und selbstheilend wirken. Denn Bilder sind die älteste Sprache der Welt und eine wunderbare Möglichkeit die Botschaften unserer Seele zu verstehen und für unser Seelenheil zu nutzen. Geeignet sind diese spirituellen Erzählungen in erster Linie für die inneren Kinder der Erwachsenen, einige können jedoch auch schon Kinder verstehen, wie z.B. die Erzählungen 'Der sprechende Garten' und 'Haus der verschlossenen Räume'. Das gemeinsame Hören dieser Erzählungen von Eltern und Kindern ermöglicht es die Bindung von Eltern und Kindern zu stärken, indem sie gemeinsame Zeit verbringen und sich über die aufkommenden Bilder und die damit verbundenen Gefühle austauschen können und daraus mehr Nähe entsteht. Ich wünsche allen, ob groß oder klein von Herzen viel Freude beim Zuhören."
