My 10 Best
(In no particular order)
Cosmos & Psyche
A sweeping history of the western world as correlated with the positions of Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn showing the patterns, cycles and growth of humanity. Especially relevant to modern times are the cycles of crisis and contraction compared to creativity and expansion. Through understanding the past, we can help to create the future.
The Secret History of the World
Secret societies and mystery schools are reportedly guardians of ancient secret wisdom about the nature of consciousness and existence. This detailed recounting of spiritual beliefs and western esoteric teachings reveals the importance of imagination and how humanity has evolved in their understandings to the current day.
Fingerprints of the Gods
This book reimagines human history from the perspective of mysterious structures around the world showing evidence of advanced ancient knowledge. The evidence presented suggests that history goes back much further than is commonly accepted and that we have lost a critical connection to our past.
Death is But a Dream
Hospice research shows that death of the body is not the end of our awareness. Patients who were interviewed about their dreams and visions as they approached death reported that they are getting ready for a journey, reuniting with deceased loved ones, making amends for their past, and most importantly, reestablishing bonds of love and connection.
The Convoluted Universe
A mind-opening collection of hypnotic regression stories from various people that move beyond typical stories of past life memories. Whether the reports or true or not, the imagination is greatly expanded to consider the possibilities of how conscious awareness might exist and evolve throughout the universe.
The Art of Racing in the Rain
A touching story of love, connection and loss told from a dog’s perspective, who longs to be a boy. Anyone who has a dog will be touched by the expression of feelings, hopes and desires as he observes his human companions. A healthy respect for animals and their existence as a soul is reassuring and validating.
The Untethered Soul
A super clear and accessible explanation of ways to separate the ego mind from the neutral inner observer, the soul, without relying on a specific spiritual tradition. Letting go is a key part of the practice as you become free from limiting thoughts and emotions, and find inner peace, happiness and well-being.
Energize the Heart in 4 Dimensions
Learning to breathe in and out of the heart in different directions triggered long-buried emotional traumas I didn’t realize were there. The exercises based in a Sufi tradition allowed me to recognize and release stuck energy, layer by layer. The pure emptiness left in its place was then filled with the love of the universe, accessible at any time.
The Secret of the Soul
Having out-of-body experiences is one way to show that your awareness can exist outside of the brain and body. The exact method might be different for each person, but with focus and dedication, the techniques that work best are detailed throughout the book, along with strategies for managing fear and successfully guiding your spiritual self.
The Secret Life of Plants
As an avid gardener, it is especially gratifying to know that plants respond to human expression and emotion. Remarkable studies have shown that plants react to a nearby lit match, respond to music and adapt to human desires. This was the beginning of my understandings of the possibility to communicate with plants.
