Matter into Feeling by Fred Alan Wolf
In this exploration of the evolution of feeling, Fred Alan Wolf brings into harmony the insights of spirituality and quantum physics. Using archetypes of transformation from the ancient Qabala to begin each chapter, Wolf uses spirituality and quantum physics interchangeably as different angles on the process of evolution. Offering deep insight into the unity of physics and spirituality this book also gives practical knowledge to guide us towards greater evolution of our own consciousness. Reviewed by Julian Potter.

Why God Won’t Go Away by Andrew Newberg and Eugene D’Aquili
Looking at brain science in an entirely new light, Andrew Newberg and Eugene D’Aquili show how the brain is wired to experience a deeper level of reality behind the material universe. In presenting the results of years of careful scientific research on meditation, myth-making , ritual and mysticism, Newberg and D’Aquili clearly show how this research has led to the conclusion that “the mind’s machinery of transcendence may in fact be a window…to glimpse something that is truly divine”. Arguing that it is this machinery of transcendence that has given rise to all religions and hence all conceptions of God, Newberg and DAquili present a powerful and engaging case that God is inescapably hardwired into the very structure of our brains. Reviewed by Julian Potter.

Hope For A Better World
by J. Donald Walters
In this groundbreaking new book J. Donald Walters explores with deep insight and intuition the thinking of some of the West’s most influential minds including Plato, Machiavelli, Darwin,Marx and Freud. He looks at the questions they asked, how they answered these questions and what impact their conclusions have had on the development of our collective world view. Walters then takes us “out of the box” in an exhilarating journey that profoundly questions these conclusions and puts forth some simple yet powerful alternatives. Above all Walters looks at what actually works. As the founder of one of the world’s most successful movements of cooperative communities, Walters is eminently practical. In the last chapter he shares his vision of cooperative communities as a way for the individual to move forward spiritually while thriving in an environment of kindred souls and rich, caring human relationships.

The Reconnection
by Dr. Eric Pearl
The Reconnection is an amazing story told with wit and humor that will impact everyone who reads it in a very positive way. It tells of a wonderful new way to heal and be healed. Dr. Pearl says he has been transformed by this reconnective energy and tells us that we can be too. The "new" frequencies of healing that Dr. Pearl talks about in The Reconnection, go beyond usual healing techniques and take us to levels above those previously available to anyone, anywhere. Dr Pearl's patients have been cured of diseases such as cancer, AIDS-related illnesses, birth defects, cerebral palsey and more and doctors and medical researchers worldwide are interested in these extraordinary healings. I consider this a MUST READ for everyone. Reviewed by Judy Gardner.
