Book Description
Long before "turn on, tune in, drop out" became the credo of the American counterculture, Aldous Huxley was using mescaline and LSD in controlled, carefully documented experiments. Accounts of those psychedelic experiences, along with his interest in Eastern mystical religions, accompany the moving story of Aldous Huxley's later years with his wife, Laura. Huxley's fascination with the spiritual world remained with him throughout his life and never wavered through his final illness in 1963. THIS TIMELESS MOMENT takes the reader into the lively mind of one of the most profound thinkers of any generation.

Book Description
From the rich wealth of experience of his work with people, Bruno Martin inspires with his new practice book to deepen and strengthen the conscious inner "work on oneself". The foundation of these insights is based on the methods of G I. Gurdjieff and John G. Bennett, which he has adapted and further developed to meet today's needs. The new exercises in this Gurdjieff Practice Book 2 can lead "seekers of truth" into previously unrecognized experiences of connection with themselves. From this conscious "self-remembering", a harmonious unfolding of one's own being can take place, for one's own good and for the good of the community. The exercises in this new practice book not only expand the existing spectrum of ways of inner work, they can also serve as "food for the soul".

Book Description
Readings in Sri Aurobindo's The Life Divine Volume 2 There is probably no other book [Sri Aurobindo's The Life Divine] that I know of which so well, completely, rationally and intuitively addresses the questions of our existence and the meaning of life, and provides a cogent answer rooted in the highest spiritual realization and yogic experience that can be adapted by all, regardless of their particular background or inclinations. Santosh Krinsky, a life long student of Sri Aurobindo, with great devotion, dedication and attention has served this crucial role of providing a bridge to help us enter more deeply into the vast universe of consciousness that Aurobindo holds open for humanity today. He leads the reader through each page of The Life Divine by extracting its essence. In this way, he makes the book easier to access, with no loss of its broader meaning. - from the Foreword by Dr. David Frawley, author of Yoga and Ayurveda
