Align: Living and Loving from the True Self by Harmony Kwiker
There is a fundamental core within each of us where our true nature resides. Our learned patterns of relating to ourselves and the world cause us to get pulled off our center, coming out of alignment with our True Self. While these conditioned patterns were at one time useful, continuing to live from them prevents us from experiencing the ease and beauty of our own true nature. In this remarkable exploration of the human condition, Harmony Kwiker provides a clear and comprehensive map to rediscovering how to live and love from the True Self, including how to come back to wholeness by accessing your subtle energy body, how to embody your alignment in all of your relationships and how to explore sexual intimacy in a sacred way.
Dining
with Jesus: A Seven Course Bible Study Unpacking the Key Meals Jesus Attended by Kate Jackson
This
seven-week guide aims to aid Christians, individually or in small groups, to
take a closer look at seven of the meals Jesus attended, focusing on what Jesus
was trying to communicate through them, either in the food eaten or in the
social interactions he had whilst dining. Each session examines set bible
passage(s), frequently considering them through the lens of the stories and
teachings which bookend the meal. The sessions also prioritise posing questions
to support Christians in reflecting upon their own lives and how they can
further incorporate Jesus’ teachings into them. This guide brings into one
user-friendly volume a range of ideas that these meals explore, including God’s
grace, what real purity means, how Jesus equips us to further his Kingdom, the
purpose of Jesus’ miracles and the nature of Jesus’ Messiahship, as well as
current interpretations of these occasions of commensality and the relevance of
their historical and social context, in a language that is easy to understand.

The
Fall of the West: The Story behind Covid, the Levelling-Down of the West and
the Shift of Power to the East with the Rise of China by Nicholas Hagger
In
The Syndicate (2004) Nicholas Hagger described how
in the 20th century a Syndicate of élitist mega-rich families levelled down the
leading Western countries by promoting revolutions, wars, and independence
movements against their empires, and planned a New World Order and world
government that would control the earth’s resources for their own benefit. In The Secret History of the West (2005) he traced the Syndicate’s
roots back to secret Freemasonic organisations and revolutions that undermined
the West from the Renaissance to the early 20th century. In The Fall of the
West (2022), the third book in his trilogy on the West, Hagger updates the
story to include the pandemic and describes how Syndicate-driven 21st-century
events from the War on Terror to Covid have brought the Western financial
system to the brink of collapse and shifted power from the West to the East,
and China.
In
this first impartial attempt to assemble all the evidence to date for the
origin of Covid (like fitting together available pieces of a jigsaw to reveal
the main picture) Hagger, the first to discover the Cultural Revolution in China
in March 1966, finds that the three main features of Covid-19 were man-made by
American NIAID-funded medics in 2002 and patented 73 times since 2008, and seem
to have been surreptitiously used as a bio-weapon in a Syndicate plan to limit
the rise of China and its expanding trade. A dangerous new Biological Age has
been born, and the West faces being levelled down and a sudden fall. Hagger
sees the post-Covid West’s dream of creating a good New World Order - a
vaccine-protected democratic, presidential, part-federal world government and
World State with sufficient authority to abolish war and solve the world’s
post-Covid problems - as being challenged by the self-interested Syndicate’s
levelling-down; and to survive, it first has to go along with the Syndicate’s
plan for West and East to draw together into an authoritarian world government
involving China, and democratise later. This is a thought-provoking work with a
prophetic vision of the future.

Lost
for Words: The poetry of mindfulness and non-duality by Martin Wells
Portalism:
An Externalist Theory of Consciousness
by Jeffrey Laird
The
mind is not the brain. The locus of our consciousness is in the world. Portalism
embraces radical phenomenal externalism and represents a contemporary form
of dualism that rejects materialist assumptions of mind/brain identity. As a
philosophy of mind, Portalism breaks with traditional thinking in two
significant ways: first by holding that consciousness is in fact a fifth
fundamental force of nature endowed with behavioural attributes not unlike that
of gravity, and second by arguing how consciousness inheres in all living
organisms regardless of their biological sophistication. Portalism
compels us to reject traditional monist theories about the nature of
consciousness and boldly enter into a new way of thinking about our own
reality.

Quaker
Quicks - Quaker Shaped Christianity: How the Jesus story and the Quaker way fit
together by Mark Russ
'What
is Quakerism?' can be a difficult question to answer, especially when Quakers
today struggle to find a shared religious language. In this book, Mark Russ
answers this question from a personal perspective, telling his story of trying
to make sense of Jesus within the Quaker community. Through this theological
wrestling emerges a Quaker Shaped Christianity that is contemporary,
open and rooted in tradition. In reflecting on how to approach the Bible, the
challenges of Universalism, and the key events of the Jesus story, this book
offers a creative, inspiring and readable theology for everyone who has
wondered how Christianity and Quakerism fit together.

The
Tragedy of Madagascar: An Island Nation Confronts the 21st Century by Nathaniel Adams
Why
has Madagascar failed to make any meaningful progress since independence?
A
mix of journalism and scholarship, the book is the result of almost nine months
spent on the ground in Madagascar travelling and interviewing a wide range of
political leaders at the national and local levels, including an unprecedented
interview with the country’s former president, Marc Ravalomanana.
The
book takes as its point of departure the military coup in 2009 that replaced
Ravalomanana with Andry Rajoelina, and all of the negative aftershocks that
followed, as well as including chapters on the bleak economic prospects of
young people across the island, the unsustainable population growth that
threatens so much of its future and a unique chapter on the effects of climate
change on the southern region of Madagascar, where worsening droughts have left
millions in humanitarian peril.

The
Ultimate Book on Vocal Sound Healing
by Githa Ben-David
The
concept of The Ultimate Book on Vocal Sound Healing is The Note from
Heaven - a condition of bliss, where time disappears and the voice seems to
sing you, rather than you sing the voice. The experience of surrendering to The
Note from Heaven is overwhelming and leads the singer into a state of Oneness,
where present, past and future merge together and energetic patterns and
traumas can be transformed, and profound healings happen. Book I: The Note from
Heaven - How to sing yourself into contact with Oneness. Book II: Regressive
Cell-Singing - How to sing yourself free of traumas and change emotional
programming. Book III: Sound Healing - How to sound-scan a fellow being with
your voice, plus a Q&A with members from the White Brotherhood.
