Knowing or felling that we are all connected to each other and to the cosmos by more than our eyes and ears is not a new notion but one as old as humanity. Traditional indigenous societies were fully aware of nonmaterial connections and incorporated them into daily life. The modern world, however, continues to dismiss and even deny these intangible links - taking as real only that which is physically manifest or proved 'scientifically'. Consequently our mainstream culture is spiritually impoverished and the world we live in has become disenchanted. In THE AKASHIC EXPERIENCE, 20 leading authorities in fields such as psychiatry, physics, philosophy, anthropology, natural healing, near-death experience and spirituality offer firsthand accounts of interactions with a cosmic memory field that can transmit information to people without having to go through the senses. Their experiences with the Akashic field are now validated and supported by evidence from cutting-edge sciences that shows that there is a cosmic memory that contains all information - past, present and future. The increasing frequency and intensity of these Akakashic experiences are an integral part of a large-scale spiritual resurgence and evolution of human consciousness that is under way today. - includes contributions from Alex Grey, Stanislav Grof, Stanley Krippner, Edgar Mitchell and others. - Provides important evidence for the authenticity of nonmaterial contact that human beings have with each other and the cosmos.

In this compelling tour through the world of anomalous research, Richard Milton makes clear what the scientific establishment takes pains to deny: plenty of hard experimental evidence already exists for such things as cold fusion, paranormal phenomena, bioenergy and the effectiveness of alternative medicine. Because these subjects and those who dare to investigate them are continually denied legitimacy by what can only be called the "paradigm police," the public is led to believe that all claims made about such topics are completely groundless.

With humour and an eye for the telling detail, the author describes many instances when the defenders of scientific orthodoxy acted with unscientific rigidity in the face of the evidence. Faraday, Roentgen, Edison and even the Wright Brothers were thought to be charlatans by their contemporaries. Taking the broad view of the way science is done, Milton discusses the forces at work in the marginalisation of unorthodox research and makes the reader wonder if there is not something fundamentally wrong with the way that science is currently being practiced.

DNA dictates the physical features of an organism. But what dictates how something grows - from the division of cells in a human being to the fractal patterns of a crystal?

Massimo Citro reveals that behind the complex world of Nature lies a basic code, a universal information field - also known as the Akashic field, which records all that was, is and will be - that directs not only physical development and behaviour but, also, energetic communication and interactions among all living and non-living things. The author examines research on consciousness, quantum physics, animal and plant intelligence, the power of intention, emotional fields, Kirlian photography and the effects of thoughts, emotions and music on water. Citro shows how the universal information field connects every person, plant, animal and mineral - a concept long known by shamans and expounded by perennial wisdom. Putting this science of the invisible to practical use, he explains his revolutionary system of vibrational medicine, known as TFF, which uses the information field to obtain the benefits of natural substances and medications in their “pure” informational form, offering side-effect-free remedies for health and well-being.

From age-old scourges such as smallpox and tuberculosis to emerging threats like AIDS and SARS our interactions with animals have always played a pivotal role as a source of human disease. Bird flu is the latest such menace coming home to roost. Leading public health authorities now predict as inevitable a pandemic of influenza triggered by bird flu and expected to lead to millions of deaths around the globe. The influenza virus has existed for millions of years as an innocuous intestinal virus of wild ducks. What turned a harmless waterborne duck virus into a human mass murderer? In BIRD FLU Dr. Michael Greger traces the human role in the evolution of this virus whose humble beginnings belie its transformation into a killer mutant strain that could become as ferocious as Ebola and as contagious as the common cold. In the face of the coming pandemic Dr. Greger reveals what we can do to protect our families and what human society to can do to reduce the likelihood of such catastrophes in the future. Amid the growing panic surrounding this issue Dr. Greger takes a sobering look at a deadly cycle and offers a solution to ending it.

"The modern version of The Tao of Physics. . . We gain tantalizing glimpses of an elusive alternative to the thing we know as science. . . . Above all, Peat's book is an eloquent plea for a fair go for the modes of enquiry of other cultures." --New Scientist

One summer in the 1980s, theoretical physicist F. David Peat went to a Blackfoot Sun Dance ceremony. Having spent all of his life steeped in and influenced by linear Western science, he was entranced by the Native American worldview and, through dialogue circles between scientists and native elders, he began to explore it in greater depth.

Blackfoot Physics is the account of his discoveries. In an edifying synthesis of anthropology, history, metaphysics, cosmology, and quantum theory, Peat compares the medicines, the myths, the languages—the entire perceptions of reality of the Western and indigenous peoples. What becomes apparent is the amazing resemblance between indigenous teachings and some of the insights that are emerging from modern science, a congruence that is as enlightening about the physical universe as it is about the circular evolution of humanity’s understanding. Through Peat’s insightful observations, he extends our understanding of ourselves, our understanding of the universe, and how the two intersect in a meaningful vision of human life in relation to a greater reality.

In this lively and engaging collection of interviews, astronomer, Stephan Martin, talks with some of today's most innovative and cutting-edge thinkers on the nature of the universe and our relationship to it. Scientists, mystics, indigenous elders and cultural creatives all share their unique voices on the nature of reality, the interplay of science and religion, the future of humanity and the role of each person in a mysterious and evolving universe. The interviewees include: Brian Swimme, Fred Alan Wolf, Peter Russell, Bernard Halsch, Richard Tarnas and Barbara Marx Hubbard.

Filled with rich insight, dynamic discussion and penetrating wisdom, COSMIC CONVERSATIONS asks the fundamental questions about the universe that many of us have wondered about yet few have explored in-depth, questions such as:

· Do time, space and matter really exist?
· Can the universe be inside us, outside us or both?
· Is the universe alive, conscious and intelligent?
· Where are we in the cosmic evolutionary picture?

A compelling journey from the farthest reaches of outer space to the innermost realms of the human heart, COSMIC CONVERSATIONS will change the way you look at the universe (and yourself ) forever.

In 1950, while discussing UFOs with other physicists at Los Alamos, Enrico Fermi asked, "Where is everybody?" i.e., If there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, why do we have no proof? Samael Aun Weor has the answer. Through stories from his own experience and analysis of well-known events, Samael Aun Weor demonstrates that much of what we believe about extraterrestrials is false, based on fear, stubborn scepticism and outright lies.

One of the most important unsolved problems of current physics, astronomy and cosmology is the nature of dark matter and dark energy. These two invisible components of the universe seem to control the behaviour of galaxies, clusters of galaxies and the accelerating expansion of the universe, but we do not know what they are.

DARK MATTERS offers a unified explanation for dark matter and dark energy and, in doing so, formulates a new theory of ordinary matter. Central to this new theory is the concept of electric lines of force, encased in something called insulating space, which means we are generally not aware of them, just as we are not aware of the currents passing through insulated cables.

The essential feature of DARK MATTERS that sets it apart from similar titles is that it sees the whole universe as a tapestry. The background material of this tapestry is the space-time framework of Einstein's theories of relativity. The threads of the tapestry are magnetic and electric lines of force. The magnetic lines of force originate from planets and stars; many exist as independent threads that weave their way in the vast spaces that separate the stars of galaxies.

Sure to be discussed and debated in international scientific professional societies, DARK MATTERS is a fascinating, essential and accessible book for anyone interested in exploring the frontiers of physics and cosmology.

Darwin's theory of evolution is undoubtedly one of the most important scientific ideas of the modern age, explaining the existence of both life and consciousness without recourse to divine intervention. Yet how do we interpret evolution? How do we evaluate the ability of Nature to engineer something as exquisite as the genetic code or the human brain? Could it be that evolution is an intelligent process? Is Nature smart? According to most scientists, the answer is no. While humanity may be intelligent and purposeful, the natural processes that crafted us are deemed to be devoid of such attributes.

In a radical move away from orthodoxy, Simon G. Powell extends Darwin's vision by showing that evolution is not just about the survival of the fittest but rather the survival of clever and sensible behaviour. Revealing the importance of the context in which things evolve, he explores the intelligent learning process behind natural selection. Rich with examples of the incredibly complex plants, animals, insects and marine life designed by Nature - from the carnivorous Venus flytrap and the fungus-farming leafcutter ant to the symbiotic microbes found inside the common cow - he shows Nature as a whole to be a system of self-organising intelligence in which life and consciousness are always destined to emerge. Examining the origins of life and the failure of artificial intelligence to compete with natural intelligence, he explains how our scientifically narrow-minded views on intelligence are now acting as a barrier to our own evolution. As Darwin's unfinished business comes to light and Nature's intelligence is embraced, we learn that Nature's agenda is not simply the replication of genetic matter but of expanding consciousness.


By working with Nature's creative and innovative powers instead of against them, we can address today's social and environmental challenges with a new green science of evolution.

• Refutes the orthodox view of evolution as a mindless process driven by chance

• Explains why context is more important than mutation in evolutionary innovation

• Shows how, by recognising Nature's innovative and creative powers, we can overcome our social and environmental challenges with a new green science of evolution
