"Living As God"
Healing the Separation
with P. Raymond Stewart
(Namaste)
We’ve come a long way since the 1980’s when Shirley McLaine went Out on a Limb on national TV to say the words out loud, “I am God.” And even she had trouble saying that. Since then many others in the vanguard of spiritual questing have been bringing back the same message from the frontlines: we are energy, we are creators, we are responsible for what happens in our lives, we are healers, we are capable of miracles – in short, we are gods. Stewart makes the case wonderfully that we are finally ready to embrace this message on a collective level, indeed that we have manifested this book because we are ready for the next evolutionary leap in consciousness.

"Blazing Splendor"
The Memoirs of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche
(Yeshe Publications)
as told to Erik Pema Kunsang and Marcia Binder-Schmidt
Joined by Daniel Goleman and Tara Bennet-Goleman
Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche (1920-1996) was one of the outstanding Tibetan Buddhist teachers of his generation. Forced into exile by the Communist invasion of Tibet, he came to settle in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. Though spending over 25 years in retreat, he not only taught extensively, but also founded numerous monasteries and retreat centers the world over. A unique document in both religious and cultural literature, whether one’s interest is spiritual, historical or simple reading pleasure Blazing Splendor is without a doubt a captivating read.
The Oct. 13 event with author Janet Champ has been canceled.
"Myth of Enlightenment"
(Innerdirections)
with Karl Renz
Karl's unique ability lies in exposing the beliefs we've built our lives on, beginning with our root sense of individuality. Our current predicament is the result of believing ourselves to be something other than what we really are. This self-imposed limitation causes our incessant searching and suffering. Throughout these dialogues Karl unceasingly brings us back to the truth of our real nature by helping us recognize the fleeting and impermanent nature of the self we've come to believe in. Even momentarily seeing the truth of who we really are immediately frees us, if only temporarily, from these self-imposed limitations. Karl's purpose--if we can say he even has one--is to reflect our own divinity, which he skillfully and uncompromisingly expresses throughout the pages of this book. By realizing the implication of his words, we can live life to its fullest and experience the boundless freedom that is our essence.
"People Who Don't Know They're Dead"
How They Attach Themselves to Unsuspecting Bystanders and What to Do About It.
(Red Wheel/Weiser)
with Gary Hill
In People Who Don’t Know They’re Dead, Gary Leon Hill tells a family story of how his Uncle Wally and Aunt Ruth, Wally’s sister, came to counsel dead spirits who took up residence in bodies that didn’t belong to them. And in the telling, Hill elucidates much of what we know, or think we know, about life, death, consciousness, and the meaning of the universe.

A combination workbook, spell book and informational guide, each chapter of Sexy Witch offers creative exercises and personal rituals to help women reach self-empowerment through self-knowledge. By encouraging women to move from body shame to body acceptance, from genital shame to pussy pride, and from sexual fear and disempowerment to a new, self-defined relationship with their own sexuality, LaSara Firefox helps initiate readers into the mysteries of their own bodies, psyches and power.
