The View: Mind over Matter, Heart over Mind: from Arthur Conan Doyle to Conversations with God.
29 contributors led by Neale Donald Walsch (Author), Peter Russell (Author), Ervin Laszlo (Author), Dorothy Maclean (Author), Conan Doyle biographer Owen Dudley Edwards (Author), educationalist Roger Straughan (Author), Ruth Hadikin (Author), Anya Sophia Mann (Author), Dave Patrick (Editor)

Essays by twenty-nine authors on the spiritual future of humankind. From Conan Doyles Spiritualism and the subsequent years of new age thought into the developments likely to take humanity into an entirely new era.

In 1919 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published a call to the world to take up the challenges presented to it and enter upon a new age. He called his book THE VITAL MESSAGE and it marks the beginning of a movement often called the 'new age' . Today, many new age thinkers have been drawn imaginatively to the year 2012, for it is the moment at which one of the great achievements of civilization, the Mayan calendar, simply comes to an end. Rather than think of 2012 as an end date, however, it is probably best to think of it as a new beginning - and an opportunity for todays thinkers to review the new age with its vital message and ask "Just how far along our road have we come?"

What is Co-Dependency? How do we recognise the patterns? And what can we do to change? This best-selling book has helped thousands of people break the chains of co-dependence and create healthier relationships. When is it time to let go? Is it more harmful to stay or leave? This book walks the reader through 'letting-go'  - just one day at a time. The authors 'walk their talk' - working at relationship as a path to spiritual growth. A beautifully inspiring book. Something perhaps for all our relationships to aspire to.
An intelligent and in-depth exploration into the causes and effects of a bullying culture in the workplace. The authors provide clear information on the law and offer guidance for managers on how bullying can be  addressed. Practical help for both bullies and their victims.

Most of us think we are basically stuck with the personality we have from birth. Through reading this we realise that much of what we think of as 'fixed personality traits and temperament' (assertiveness, boundaries etc.) are actually skills that we can learn.
"Emotional intelligence is the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships." The practical application of meditatative techniques in everyday living, and the impact on reducing aggression in society. We can  learn to shift our emotions, moods and even basic temperament to a more peaceful state.  This book is designed to help readers get a view of current concept-
ualisations of emotional intelligence, while providing an opportunity to see how emotional intelligence has been interpreted and applied throughout the world.

In this edition, the author explores recent developments in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and shows how it has become even more significant in our increasingly unpredictable business and personal lives. Change can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. The message of Who Moved My Cheese? is that all can come to see it as a blessing, if they understand the nature of cheese and the role it plays in their lives.
This is a simple yet profound guide to creating abundance and prosperity in our lives. Chopra outlines simple steps to wealth consciousness based on a true understanding of the natural world.
This guide to yoga techniques emphasizes fitness and the proper alignment of the spine, and discusses posture, breath control, and relaxation. Most people avoid pain, run from it, or pretend it isn't there. In this simple book the Author shows how to use it and benefit from it. Mindfulness has gone mainstream, and author Deborah Schoeberlein pioneers its practical application in education. By showing teachers how to tune into what's happening, inside and around them, she offers fresh, straightforward approaches to training attention and generating caring both in and outside of the classroom. How often do you stumble through the day on auto-pilot, half asleep and out of contact with yourself, instead of feeling connected and alive? In this astounding book, Steve Taylor suggests that our normal consciousness is really a kind of 'sleep' from which we sometimes 'wake up', into a more intense and complete reality. Waking from Sleep provides what is perhaps the first ever clear explanation of higher states of consciousness, or 'awakening experiences'.

In this powerful book of quotations, Byron Katie talks about the most essential issues that face us all – love, sex and relationships; health, sickness and death; parents and children; work and money; and self-realization. The profound, light-hearted wisdom embodied within is not theatrical; it is absolutely authentic.  Ancient traditions viewed ‘time’ as the great ripples of a galactic wave that ebb and flow as they travel throughout the universe. Late 20th century discoveries revealed that even the most complex things in nature are really simple patterns – fractals – that repeat themselves in predictable ways.  This book relates the transpersonal to everyday life as well as to professional concerns and the various schools of therapy. Divided into three parts, Being, Doing and Knowing, it encourages the reader to explore the levels of consciousness, the techniques involved in transpersonal work and the underlying theory.

Hypnotherapist Dolores Cannon explores worlds and dimensions where dreams become reality and reality is only a dream. Readers should open their minds to a myriad of possibilities that have previously only dwelt in the imagination.

Soul Astrology Books Recommended by Ruth...
Before moving toward Soul Astrology one is advised to have a thorough understanding of conventional Astrology. This classic text by the world's leading Soul Astrologer Alan Oken provides a thorough foundation for anyone wanting to learn Astrology. A thorough guide to interpreting horoscopes from a Soul Centered perspective.
Another classic from the world's foremost Soul Astrologer, Alan Oken.
Written by one of my mentors, Errol Weiner. A fortuitous meeting with him at Scotland's Findhorn community, led me to return to Astrology, after many years. This time with a Soul  focus. Errol is knowledgeable, and passionate about Soul Astrology, and Full Moon meditations, as a key part of our spiritual journey. He is a wise and generous teacher. Alice Bailey's classic text "Esoteric Astrology". Written as part of the 'treatise on the seven rays' this work was the result of a telepathic communication between AB and "The Tibetan" (Master DK) At the time of writing it was said that humanity didn't have the cnsciousness to comprehend it, and it would take Astrologers of the future to interpret it's full meaning.
"The Labours of Hercules" - an astrological interpretation by Alice Bailey, gives a vivid account of the journey of the soul as it incarnates progressively through the twelve signs of the Zodiac. The labours that Hercules is required to perform symbolise the specific challenges that face all disciples as they seek to equip themselves to better serve their fellow human beings. Even though the author disagrees on the importance of the Ascendant (which is of primary significance in Soul Astrology) His descriptions of the planets in the houses are very accurate, appropriate and useful when reading charts from a spiritual perspective.
Just remember to add the Ascendant back into the equation!
As humanity evolves in consciousness, more of 'all that is' is revealed to us, and we are given exactly what we need for our spiritual growth. As we begin to interpret astrology from a spiritual perspective factors such as Chiron, and it's meaning for us as individuals, become increasingly relevant. Another classic, as Stephen Arroyo shares deep insights into the planets of transformation, and their role in our spiritual development.
