Rational spirituality... surely this is a contradiction in terms? How can spirituality be rational, when it relies on faith and revelation? The simple answer is it does not have to any more. Modern science tells us there is far more to the universe than the physical world we all perceive. And the explanation that most closely fits the facts for a range of verifiable phenomena, from near-death experiences to past-life memories, is that the soul exists separately from the physical body and reincarnates repeatedly. This book could only have been written in the twenty-first century, because it uses the latest breakthroughs in scientific and psychological research to produce a truly revolutionary view of spirituality. By comparing this modern evidence with thousands of years of spiritual traditions, it finally provides rational answers to some of the most significant and intriguing questions ever posed by the human race: What experiences do we have in the interlife between incarnations? Do we plan all the major circumstances of our lives, both good and bad? How does karma operate? Does it really involve action and reaction? Can we be punished in the ways that traditional religions suggest? What practical steps can we take to ensure our karma is progressive rather than repetitive? Piece by piece, this book uncovers startling evidence to support a scientific and rational belief in reincarnation and the interlife. It brings together a wide range of research including the incredible insights of thousands of ordinary regression subjects in a logical, objective way to produce a major breakthrough in our approach to spirituality. No one who reads this book will ever view life in the same way again. The spiritual worldview it describes is coherent and rational, and has the capability to propel humanity forwards to previously unexplored levels... if only we will let it.

Personal Transformation

Was our planet once populated by a lost civilization that was destroyed? A fundamental reappraisal of the most revered ancient texts and traditions from around the globe, coupled with archaeological and geological evidence, suggests that it was. But what were our antediluvian ancestors like? Rather than huddling in caves to escape the ice age, were they expert navigators and astronomers who traveled far and wide? And did they have access to incredible technology, or was their culture defined far more by its spirituality? Indeed, what was it that caused the massive surge in culture that began around 75,000 years ago and led directly to the evolution of the modern human race? What ongoing impetus allowed it to snowball so rapidly, compared to the slow but steady evolution of our hominid forebears over millions of years? Were divine sages really sent to introduce civilization to humanity, and if so how can we understand who or what they really were? Some sort of gods, or angels, or extraterrestrial visitors? Or were they just highly experienced souls incarnating on earth with a job to do, as they still do to this day? Is there evidence that our forgotten ancestors were almost completely wiped out? If so, how did this happen, and when? And was it just a random natural catastrophe, or was there an underlying 'karmic dynamic' related to their increasing preoccupation with the material at the expense of the spiritual? Most important of all, did their destruction have anything to do with universal energetic cycles? And, if so, what can we learn about the future we now face in the modern era? Are we once again surfing the crest of a huge energetic wave? The veiled pointers to our hidden past have finally been unmasked as more than just the psychological constructs of philosophically primitive cultures. History is repeating itself. But what will happen this time round? And is the script already written... or can our actions now still help to dictate the outcome?

The History of the Soul

History

Ancient Civilizations

Together these three short books provide an easy, one-stop introduction to the sort of modern, spiritual approach to life now adopted by so many in our society, yet still largely ignored by the mainstream media. We start with THE LITTLE BOOK OF THE SOUL, which uses a storybook style to present a number of cases of near-death experience and past-life recall. Such as the Indian girl with memories of a past life, who astonished her former husband by reminding him how he had borrowed money from her just before she died. This truly fascinating evidence underpins a rational approach to spirituality, and is interspersed with helpful summaries and analysis. This is followed by YOUR HOLOGRAPHIC SOUL, which tackles the big, universal questions like who or what is God, why are we here, is everything just an illusion and even why is the universe itself here at all? It uses the answers to build a simple theoretical framework that we can all use to make sense of our lives. It then lays out ten hugely important suggestions for how we can apply this understanding in practice, so we can help ourselves to get the most out of our time on this wonderful planet. The last book of the trilogy is THE FUTURE OF THE SOUL, which again uses a question-and-answer style to present some incredibly positive yet grounded messages from channeled sources about 2012. These include that everything is just as it should be; that so many souls are on earth now to take advantage of an incredible opportunity that has been known about, planned for and eagerly awaited for thousands of years; and that the attention of the entire universe is trained on our humble little planet because no one knows the outcome. Above all they emphasize that the global shift in consciousness with which more and more people are resonating is already happening, and that the most important time is NOW! Which is why the aim of this book isn't to preach to the converted so much as to help even more people to wake up to their spiritual self, and to the incredible opportunities open to all of us right now. The sort of people who have no fixed views about religion or spirituality, and probably haven't even had much time to think about such things before, but are now ready to open up - especially when presented with a new, grounded, rational approach. If that's you, your incredible journey starts right here...

The Man Who Didn't Die

A new consciousness is emerging on planet earth  huge swathes of the human population are waking up  to the incredible truth of who and what we really are  and now the next pieces of the jigsaw reveal  a power in each of us way beyond our wildest imaginings…  the power of our SUPERSOUL.  In the latter decades of the twentieth century a degree of spiritual consensus emerged. It centered around the idea that we all have a soul that survives our physical death; that lives many lives to gain a rich variety of experience; and that will at some point have overcome the multitude of challenges the human experience has to offer, and move on to grow in other ways in other realms. Some have taken a different tack and focused more on ideas of illusion and addiction, but arguably their influence has remained more on the fringe.  This worldview has served us well as the tide of the new consciousness has gathered momentum. But what if it only scratches the surface of an underlying reality that is far more complex and intriguing?  The clues have been available, scattered here and there, for decades. In Robert Monroe’s pioneering journeys out of his body, when he met with supreme intelligences that he eventually realized were only ‘other aspects of himself’. In Jane Roberts’ seminal Seth channelings, which revealed that he and she were part of the same ‘oversoul’. And in the widely channeled messages from the ‘group entity’ Michael, who describe ‘themselves’ as comprised of many individual ‘soul fragments’.  All these sources remain hugely popular, yet somehow the vital clues they left for us have remained somewhat overlooked. But now they can be pulled together into a worldview potentially enhanced by scientists who propose a fundamentally holographic and digital reality. A radical worldview that opens up huge new possibilities for us all as we collectively pioneer the most radical change in human consciousness ever witnessed on planet earth. 

Supersoul (a radical worldview for a new consciousness)

New Age & Spirituality

Do you want to know what it's really like to die? Would you like a state-of-the-art guide to the afterlife? Thanks to a variety of modern sources, now you can prepare yourself... with the most reliable information that's ever been available. For millennia various prophets, gurus, visionaries and mystics have given us descriptions of what happens after death. Their tales of assorted heavens and hells have inspired and terrified in equal measure. But their use of symbolism and archaic language can be baffling. What is more the reliability of their accounts is questionable. The good news is that now we have a variety of more modern sources. For example, ordinary people who have passed over and 'channelled' reports of their experiences via human mediums. Increasingly too we are hearing from those who have visited the afterlife planes when 'near death'. Perhaps even more important are the pioneering 'out-of-body' explorers who have learned to repeatedly and deliberately expand their consciousness so as to experience other planes of reality. The reports are remarkably consistent, both within and across each source of information. Now they can all be brought together to produce a simple,up-to-date guide to an afterlife we'll all experience sooner or later. One that contains myriad possibilities. These range from various heavens created by the collective human expectations of different religious groups, to personal hells where misguided souls insist on punishing themselves. To those involved these experiences appear just as real as earthly life, yet all represent varying degrees of illusion. Most of us enter the afterlife in ignorance. But if you're ready to take advantage of modern discoveries, this guide will dispel the illusions and free your soul to expand into realms previously attained only by the few. Realms of supreme lucidity, awareness, unity... and, above all, love.

Afterlife: a modern guide to the unseen realms (Supersoul)

Have you ever felt like you're not in control?That you're a victim of circumstance, or of your partner or family or boss?But what if you're actually in complete control as you create your reality afresh in each new 'moment of now'? All the modern evidence - from the world of sport, through out-of-body exploration and channelled messages from wise entities, to modern scientific research - suggests the primacy of the 'law of attraction'. That is, we create our experience, both good and bad, via our beliefs, conditioning, thoughts and intentions. So at least theoretically we can 'consciously create' any outcomes we desire. Think of top sportspeople employing psychologists to help them stay 'in the moment' and visualise winning. But we also attract less desirable experiences into our lives. Not because God is vengeful, or because random chance just deals us a bad hand sometimes, or because we're victims at the mercy of others, or even because of bad karma from our past lives. But because of negative or limiting beliefs stored mainly in our subconscious that are often at odds with our conscious desires. Think of the person with low self-esteem who constantly attracts abusive partners. The majority of the best-known sources of channelled wisdom insist it's time for us to take complete responsibility for, and control of, our lives. To remember that we create everything we experience at some level of our consciousness. They include Seth, Abraham, Walsch's 'God', Ramtha, Elias, Bashar, Jeshua and the Pathwork Guide. The trick then is to recognise we're responsible for attracting the entirety of our life experience, both good and bad, and to maximise the extent to which we create consciously rather than unconsciously. This understanding is arguably what the current 'consciousness shift' is all about. But it's also about reclaiming our birthright as the human race. Because as the 'creator gods' talked of in myth and legend down the ages, we're more powerful than we've ever dared to imagine.

The Power of You (why you have the potential to change your life in an instant)

Would you like to de-stress your life and take back complete control?How liberating would it be if you could remove much of the hurt from the painful experiences in your life?How would you like to guarantee yourself that you'll never be a victim of anyone or anything ever again? Ever since our early ancestors started inventing various gods, humanity has been trying to find ways of explaining why bad things happen. So crops failed because they hadn't sacrificed enough virgins. By contrast in our increasingly secular age we've been conditioned to accept that sh*t just happens sometimes. Which sounds like a wonderfully laid back and philosophical approach to adopt. The only trouble is it's just plain wrong. All the modern evidence - from the world of sport, through out-of-body exploration and channelled messages from wise entities, to modern scientific research - suggests the primacy of the 'law of attraction'. That is, we create our experience, both good and bad, via our beliefs, conditioning, thoughts and intentions. So we attract sh*t into our lives not because God is vengeful, or because random chance just deals us a bad hand sometimes, but because of negative or limiting beliefs stored mainly in our subconscious that are often at odds with our conscious desires. Think of the person with low self-esteem who constantly attracts abusive partners. The trick then is to recognise we're responsible for attracting the entirety of our life experience, both good and bad, and to maximise the extent to which we create consciously rather than unconsciously. Above all we need to remember that we're not puny human beings buffeted by outrageous fortune, nor are we ever victims of anyone or anything. Instead each of us is a divine 'creator god' possessed of incredible power and wisdom.
