Arthur Young conceived of The Geometry of Meaning as an essay in philosophy, but philosophy in the older sense, encompassing the natural sciences, exploring the implications of science, and dealing with the relationship of the knower and the known. At the heart of this book is what he called the “Rosetta Stone of meaning,” a diagram of relationships based upon the twelve measure formulae of modern physics, which he used to describe the interaction of mind with matter.


Over a period of years Betty J. Kovács, her husband and their son experienced dreams and visions of future events that completely changed their lives. They learned that life and death, sorrow and joy, and matter and spirit are inseparably intertwined. Every page of this testament to life loosens our grip on the imagination and opens us to dimensions of the mind that speak in images, metaphors and symbols.

The Believer is the weird and chilling true story of Dr. John Mack. This eminent Harvard psychiatrist and Pulitzer Prize–winning biographer risked his career to investigate the phenomenon of human encounters with aliens and to give credibility to the stupefying tales shared by people who were utterly convinced they had happened. The Believer reveals the life and work of a man who explored the deepest of scientific conundrums and further leads us to the hidden dimensions and alternate realities that captivated Mack until the end of his life.


To illustrate Jung’s theory of active imagination as a powerful tool for transformation, Erica Lorentz presents case material that facilitates the readers’ experience and understanding of the Mundus Imaginalis (the imaginal realm). In this space, the soul, body, emotion, energy, imagination, somatic unconscious, and subtle body guide both client and analyst into a dialogue with the personal and archetypal unconscious during healing work. 


In The Abstract Mind, bestselling author and cognitive neuropsychologist Chris Niebauer illuminates how abstraction creates illusions that interfere with our perception of reality, how these illusions give rise to mental suffering, and how, with a little practice, you can learn to see through them. This book isn’t another guide to mindfulness. It’s a mirror―one that reveals how deeply we’ve confused thought for life. Like a dreamer realizing they’re asleep, the moment you notice the abstract world is a mirage, the spell begins to break.


The ‘impossible’ events chronicled in Witnessing The Impossible: The Diary of The Scole Experiment are not science fiction. Much of the data and evidence gathered during The Scole Experiment was collected in the presence of experienced and knowledgeable scientific investigators. These investigators, who also became witnesses, published their own witness testimony in a scholarly, peer-reviewed, technical document, The Scole Report, which forms part of the Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), London.

In his entranced state George Chapman surrendered his identity to a distinguished surgeon named William Lang who had passed away in 1937, just a decade before he first spoke through Chapman. Through Dr. Lang, Chapman was responsible for many extraordinary cures. The evidence for his claim to be the mediumistic channel for William Lang is extremely impressive, involving not only former patients but also Lang’s family members and former medical colleagues.


From Shadow Into Light reveals why insight alone doesn’t create transformation and how suppressed emotions, unintegrated shadow, and outdated self-identities quietly keep you repeating the same patterns in your life. Rather than teaching you how to “fix” yourself, this book shows you how to integrate the parts of you that were never meant to be erased.

Robert Thurman, the preeminent scholar and interpreter of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy for the modern world, leads us on a joyful exploration into the nature of reality through Buddha’s threefold curriculum of “super-education.” “Buddha had to be an educator, rather than a prophet or religion founder, since he had achieved his goal of exact and complete understanding of reality by using reason, experiments to open his own mind, and vision to do so,” Thurman writes. 


Angels at My Fingertips takes us back to the territory that made Angels in My Hair a million selling, international bestseller. Stories of Lorna’s early life in rural Ireland, of how angels helped and guided her through traumatic events, lead to a detailed description of what angels are like, the different types of angels, how they behave in interact with God and other angels as well as human beings, and their role during our lives and after death.

In this illuminating book, Radin shows how we know that psychic phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis are real, based on scientific evidence from thousands of controlled lab tests. Radin surveys the origins of this research and explores, among many topics, the collective premonitions of 9/11. He reveals the physical reality behind our uncanny telepathic experiences and intuitive hunches, and he debunks the skeptical myths surrounding them. Entangled Minds sets the stage for a rational, scientific understanding of psychic experience.


The overwhelming majority of mediums today cannot do what they claim. Some are frauds, others are inexperienced, and many delude themselves into believing that they have such ability. These practitioners have no business sitting with the bereaved and they can do great harm. On the other hand, there are some mediums that truly can speak to the dead, do so at a very high level of accuracy, and provide an invaluable service to those who have suffered the loss of a loved one. This book provides a guide for all those who have either sat with a medium or intend to do so. You will learn what to expect, how to evaluate the information that you are told, and how mediums operate.

Not a day goes by without our being called upon to help one another —at home, at work, on the street, on the phone…. We do what we can. Yet so much comes up to complicate this natural response: “Will I have what it takes?” “How much is enough?” “How can I deal with suffering?” “And what really helps, anyway?”


Here is a book involving alien contact, ancient Egyptian religion, and an interesting metaphysical premise — consistent with the mystical teachings of every age — that we are connected intimately with the whole universe.

In My Grandfather’s Blessings, Rachel Naomi Remen, a cancer physician and master storyteller, uses her luminous stories to remind us of the power of our kindness and the joy of being alive. Dr. Remen’s grandfather, an orthodox rabbi and scholar of the Kabbalah, saw life as a web of connection and knew that everyone belonged to him, and that he belonged to everyone. He taught her that blessing one another is what fills our emptiness, heals our loneliness, and connects us more deeply to life.


The story of the Watchers began during the third century B.C. when a wave of apocalyptic Essene writings swept the Mediterranean world and came to fruition at the time of Jesus. From this epoch emerged a new hero, Enoch, ‘the Translated Man’, who was transformed into a being of light and joined the Watchers in heaven. William Henry proposes that the Watchers correspond to the Seven Rayed Naga “rainbow serpents of wisdom” of Buddhist tradition and the seven fish-cloaked Apkallu sages of Mesopotamia.


Presented as a philosophy of hope, the influence of Hermeticism runs like a river through Egyptian, Hellenic, Sufi, Renaissance, and Romantic territories, before branching into the delta of twentieth century philosophical and psychological thought. Drawing on her experience as a practicing psychiatrist, Nasser shows how the existential pioneers of the last century not only acknowledged their debt to their Hermetic past, but also spoke to the emergence of a new Self capable of exploring and integrating its multiplicities.


Good Answers to Tough Questions About Death explains the terms, beliefs and rituals surrounding dying and death. This book is designed for children up to twelve years of age.

Mark Booth offers an alternative view, showing us how the great geniuses of modern science, from Marie Curie, Nikola Tesla, and Albert Einstein to today’s architects of AI, turned instead to secret, mystical, and “higher” teachings, including Indian mysticism and Freemasonry, to make sense of the strange phenomena they were encountering. Experimenting with alternative states of consciousness, they risked isolation and even madness.


In this edited volume, Sharon Mijares and her colleagues explore approaches to mental health that integrate psychology with spiritual practices such as meditation, mindfulness, and yoga. The book examines alternative perspectives on a wide range of psychological disorders while emphasizing treatment of the whole person rather than symptoms alone.
