Downshifting Make Easy

How to Plan for your Planet-friendly Future

Marian Van Eyk McCain

 

‘I found that after the first reading I was really enthused, but a second reading gave me all kinds of additional food for thought. Highly recommended.’ (Amazon customer review)

Santoshan studied world religions at King’s College London, was the bass guitarist of the new wave and punk band The Wasps and is the author of several books on spiritual matters, including The House of Wisdom: Yoga Spirituality of the East and West

(co-authored with Swami Dharmananda Saraswati). His latest book, Spirituality Unveiled, puts forward a succinct and compelling synthesis of numerous spiritual traditions. Whilst weaving together insights from contemporary and past masters of spirituality, along with holistic and Earth centred wisdom, the book beautifully highlights teachings about the essentials of creative unfoldment.

Spirituality Unveiled invites readers to join in the important search to find a healthy interaction with life. Key areas include the power of creativity, the effects of positive and negative actions, and harmonious living with the natural world.

GreenSpirit

Path to a New Consciousness

Edited by Marian Van Eyk McCain

Foreword by Satish Kumar

 

‘Never before have so many important ideas on these subjects been assembled between the covers of a single book.’ (Rupert Sheldrake)

Why do we humans so often make a mess of things? Does religion help or hinder?

Weaving the Cosmos opens a new insight into these questions. It explains how science and religion correspond to two strands of both the cosmos and the human mind, how they have become unravelled in our thinking and action, and how they can be reunited within an understanding of the Earth – of ecology. The story blends historical account with the author’s own experiences, pointing to a future when we can be in harmony with the Earth.

 

Chris Clarke was until 1999 Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Southampton, his research extending over astrophysics, relativity, the philosophy of quantum theory and the physics of the brain. Since then he has taught and published on the relations between science and spirituality.

Weaving the Cosmos

Science, Religion and Ecology

Chris Clarke

 

‘Humanity is in great need of a new vision that integrates rationality and deep intuition in a way of wisdom that takes seriously both scientific and spiritual understandings. Chris Clarke provides us with a deeply thought out and well based view of this kind, that also follows out its important implications for ecology. It can be highly recommended as a thoughtful contribution towards the deeper form of wisdom that is so much needed at the present time.’ (George Ellis, winner of 2004 Templeton Prize, Emeritus Distinguished Professor at the University of Cape Town)
