Energy Medicine and Consciousness 
Energy Medicine: This alternative-medicine self-help guide promises to teach you to help heal yourself and others using the body's own natural energies. Building on such diverse concepts as acupuncture and therapeutic touch, Donna Eden lays out a practical framework in Energy Medicine for flushing out and recharging the body's systems. 

"This book will show you how to work with the electromagnetic and more subtle energies that give your body life," Eden writes, along with her husband, psychologist David Feinstein. "These energies form the foundation of your health." 

The Energy Medicine Kit: Donna Eden invites you to learn the unspoken language of your body to boost your energy levels, address many specific health problems, and foster your overall health. You begin by learning a powerful "Daily Energy Practice" that combines simple movements, pressure point massage, and breathwork to create a reservoir of "vital life force" that you can draw upon throughout the day. 

The Energy Medicine Kit comes complete with: A 28-page booklet that teaches you the fundamentals of energy medicine and points you to specific exercises on the DVD and CD. 43 photo-illustrated Energy Medicine Cards. A DVD that demonstrates the methods of energy medicine and teaches you 15 restorative exercises. An audio CD that guides you through 21 more techniques for specific conditions.

The Promise of Energy Psychology: This groundbreaking book explains how to tap into your body's energy not only to change your health, but to change your behaviors and thought patterns as well. 

The energy approach presented in this book can help bring about significant change in your life. With this strategy, stubborn phobias often fade in minutes; the lifelong effects of an early trauma can frequently be reduced or completely eliminated; uncontrollable anger can rapidly become manageable; even elusive physical problems may respond where other treatments have failed. The Healing Power of Energy Psychology is an amazing tool that puts the ability to effect change directly into your hands, and finally gives you control over your fears, pain, and destructive behaviors.

Vibrational Medicine: The #1 Handbook of Subtle-Energy Therapies - Vibrational Medicine has gained widespread acceptance by individuals, schools, and health-care institutions nationwide as the textbook of choice for the study of alternative medicine. Trained in a variety of alternative therapies as well as conventional Western medicine, Dr. Gerber provides an encyclopedic treatment of energetic healing, covering subtle-energy fields, acupuncture, Bach flower remedies, homeopathy, radionics, crystal healing, electrotherapy, radiology, chakras, meditation, and psychic healing. He explains current theories about how various energy therapies work and offers readers new insights into the physical and spiritual perspectives of health and disease.
The HeartMath Solution: The Institute of HeartMath's Revolutionary Program for Engaging the Power of the Heart's Intelligence: The HeartMath Solution outlines 10 steps for harnessing the power of the heart's intelligence, including ways to manage your emotions and keep energy levels high. One of the most important is the "Freeze-Frame" technique for calming the nervous system, improving clarity of thought and perception, and boosting productivity (which is one of the many appealing features for those Fortune 500 companies). Each step includes references to data proving its effectiveness, with handy summaries of the key points to remember at the end of each chapter. This is a book that takes a bit of scientific understanding and a lot of time to wade through, but one that could help you prevent stress from ruling your existence. --Erica Jorgensen 
PSYCH-K...The Missing Peace In Your Life! - Your reality is created by your beliefs. These beliefs, usually subconscious, are often the result of lifelong programming, and represent a powerful influence on human behavior. Studies in neuroscience indicate that as much as 95% of our consciousness is actually subconscious. Its the subconscious mind that is the store-house for our attitudes, values, and beliefs. It is from our beliefs that we form perceptions about the world and ourselves, and from these perceptions we develop behaviors. Usually, it is self-defeating behaviors we wish to change. Often the most effective way to change a behavior is to change the subconscious belief(s) that support it. Based on years of split-brain research, also known as Brain Dominance Theory, PSYCH-K provides a variety of ways to quickly identify and transform beliefs that sabotage you into beliefs that support you, in any area of your life.
The Biology of Belief - With more than 100,000 copies sold of his self-published book, The Biology of Belief, Bruce Lipton teams up with Hay House to bring his message to an even wider audience. This book is a groundbreaking work in the field of new biology, and it will forever change how you think about thinking. Through the research of Dr. Lipton and other leading-edge scientists, stunning new discoveries have been made about the interaction between your mind and body and the processes by which cells receive information. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology, that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our thoughts. Using simple language, illustrations, humor, and everyday examples, he demonstrates how the new science of Epigenetics is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter and the profound effects it has on our personal lives and the collective life of our species.
Re-create Your Life: Transforming Yourself and Your World - This book describes something that most people think it absolutely impossible. It explains how people can quickly and permanently eliminate the beliefs that are responsible for virtually all of their undesirable behavior and emotions. When the negative beliefs are eliminated, people are able to thrive, not merely survive. The book describes personal, organizational, and societal applications
Biogenealogy: Decoding the Psychic Roots of Illness: Freedom from the Ancestral Origins of Disease - Biogenealogy: Decoding the Psychic Roots of Illness offers protocols for identification and treatment for conflicts that can span generations. While the idea that emotional stress lies at the origin of every illness is becoming more readily acceptable today, it also is possible to trace the root cause of an illness to our ancestors--their unresolved psychic distress can become part of the cellular memory inherited by their descendants. Until the issue has been settled successfully, it will continue to trigger illnesses in the generations that follow to offset the mind’s inability to resolve the problem. Illness is the body’s way of protecting those who experience severe emotional shock or excessive amounts of stress.
BioSpirituality: Focusing As a Way to Grow: The body can be connected with emotions, mind, relationships (with other people and with environment) and with spirit. "Focusing," an approach developed by Eugene Gendlin, directs us to attend to the felt sense of what is going on inside our body. This is the intuitive, right-brained way our unconscious mind brings to our attention the rightness and wrongness of what we are doing; the itch that says (my words), "examine what you are experiencing, because there is something out of harmony, out of alignment, misdirecting us from our proper life course." Gendlin teaches that "the direction toward a felt sense is always into and through the feeling, never away from it." Feelings and emotions change only when we identify the felt sense associated with the feeling and seek out the roots behind this - for these are what anchor the feeling in our psyche and prevent its release.
Holistic Healing and Personal growth 
You Can Heal Your Life: You Can Heal Your Life has been republished with bright, beautiful illustrations in full, living color and exquisite typography--each and every page is a work of art by artist Joan Perrin Falquet. The timeless message of the book is that we are each responsible for our own reality and "dis-ease." Hay believes we make ourselves ill by having thoughts of self-hatred. She includes a directory of ailments and emotional causes for each with a corresponding affirmation to help overcome the illness. For example, the probable cause of multiple sclerosis is "mental hardness, hard-heartedness, iron will, and inflexibility." The healing "thought pattern" would be: "By choosing loving, joyous thoughts, I created a loving joyous world. I am safe and free." --P. Randall Cohan
Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life - Known simply as "The Work," Byron Katie's methods are clean and straightforward. The basis is a series of four questions addressed to your own lists of written assumptions. Whether you're angry with your boss, frustrated with your teen's behavior, or appalled at the state of the world's environment, Katie suggests you write down your most honest thoughts on the matter, and then begin the examination. Starting with, "Is it true?" and continuing with explorations of "Who would you be without that thought?" this method allows you to get through unhelpful preconceptions and find peace. An integral part of the process is "turning the thought around," and at first this can seem like you're simply blaming yourself for everything. Push a little harder, and you'll find a very responsible acceptance of reality, beyond questions of fault and blame.
The Path of the DreamHealer: My Journey Through the Miraculous World of Energy - The Path of the Dreamhealer is not just remarkably well written, it turns out to be a very penetrating account of the human spirit in relationship to the cosmic whole. Adam guides us with precision ease through the Creation, how our body, mind and spirit integrate into all that is in such an easy to read and grasp format. Its illustrations well enhance the effectiveness of the processes outlined in the book. Though I am aware of other critics' counterclaims on Adam's healing techniques, I agree with Adam that there are no miracles involved here, rather a knowing more of your Self involved here. It is only due to ignorance that things appear or seem miraculous. Adam's honest and refreshing advice has been for everyone to practice, practice, practice! Ability is involved and naturally needs to be cultivated through diligent exercise, which includes feeling your tai chi energy ball, seeking auras, and forming imaginative visualization skill with the help of the colorful illustrations included. I have come to the conclusion that this outstanding literary offering is an invitation to transcend many of our current healing practices without any mind numbing intellectual jargon, from psychoanalysis to reiki. More astounding is the realization that this is the work of an extraordinarily bright and gifted teenager. By Charles Wildbank
The Power of Intention: After years of spiritual study and reflection, inspirational speaker and best-selling author Wayne Dyer has emerged a highly esteemed teacher. His current message about tapping into the power of intention may sound like good old positive thinking: just stay focused on what you want, rather than focusing on the lack of having what you want. But the teaching here goes deeper than just controlling thoughts (although he does acknowledge that thought control is a surprisingly challenging and significant endeavor). This book might help readers land a better job, but it's more relevant for those who are ready to detach from an ego-driven life filled with quick fixes of happiness and step into a more authentic, joyful, and spiritually fulfilling life. His core teachings speak to tapping into a universal source of energy that can also be called the "power of intention." He calls people who are consciously co-creating with this energy source "connectors" and describes them as "individuals who have made themselves available for success...They don't say With my luck things won't work out. Instead, you're more likely to hear something like, I intend to create this and I know it will work out." Connectors are also committed to Dyer's "seven faces of intention"--creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansion, abundance and receptivity, which he speaks to throughout the book. Each chapter concludes with five suggestions for becoming stronger connectors, such as how to monitor one's inner speech or shift out of low-energy beliefs.
No Boundary: Eastern and Western Approaches to Personal Growth - A simple yet comprehensive guide to the types of psychologies and therapies available from Eastern and Western sources.

Now updated to include present-day anecdotes and current personalities.
Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal - Quantum-Touch is the touch-based healing technique that uses the chi of both practitioner and client, bringing them into harmony to allow the body to heal itself. Quantum-Touch differs from other healing techniques because it does not require long years of study and presents none of the common hurdles of understanding or application; anyone can learn to use it to become a healer, both of others and of self. In this new edition of his best-selling guide, Richard Gordon leads the reader step by step, clearly explaining how to use breathing and body-focusing techniques to raise one's energy levels. Once that is achieved, the healer can correct posture and alignment, reduce pain and inflammation, help balance emotional distress, and even heal pets. Above all, Quantum-Touch can be used in tandem with all other healing modalities, including Western medicine, and its efficacy has been attested to by physicians, acupuncturists, chiropractors, and other healing professionals.
The 12 Stages of Healing: A Network Approach to Wholeness - Dr. Epstein has help thousands of people get a new perspective of health and healing. The 12 stages model provides ideas for a new journey in understanding the healing  process without the usual judgment of symptoms as bad or wrong. The book has some very easy exercises at the end of each chapter that can help integrate awareness to the body with breath and attention. A great book for those looking for a the bigger picture of health (from the inside out).
Practical Uses and Applications of the Bach Flower Emotional Remedies - Bach Flower Essences are not used directly for physical complaints, but for the sufferer's worry, apprehension, sense of hopelessness, irritability, etc., because these states of mind or moods not only hinder recovery and retard convalescence, but are generally accepted as primary causes of sickness and disease. Listed in this book are over 1,200 ideas and applications of the Bach Flower Emotional Remedies to enhance the everyday lives of your family, friends, and especially yourself. Plus, there are over 400 emotional applications for animals and how the Bach Flower Remedies can improve awareness, increasing communication with our furry feathered friends of mankind. The Essences are all prepared from flowers and wild plants, bushes and trees, and none of them is harmful or habit -forming.
Love Thyself: The Message from Water III - “The common language that the people of the world have been seeking is found in water crystals. Water speaks for what is in our mind. Water awakens the subconscious memory in each person. . . . I now know why water is indispensable to the phenomenon of life, and why alternative therapies exist and why they're effective. Water helped me understand religion and prayer and gave me a clue to understanding the nature of energy. It helped me understand the relationship between humanity and the cosmos. It gave me a clue to help me understand what dimensionality is. I could come one step closer to understanding the eternal theme of humanity that asks where we come from, why we are here, and what happens when we die.
        “Thus, for the release of this, the third volume in my series of The Message from Water, I decided to choose what the world most urgently needs at present as a theme. That is, of course, the need to eliminate war and terrorism throughout the world. The theme I have chosen is ‘prayer.’ When I thought about it more deeply, I realized that prayer is most effectively sent when each person in the world raises their energy of love by imagining a scene where the peoples of the world are living in peace. I've been taught this through the process of asking water many questions. 
        “For this reason, the title of this book is ‘Love Thyself. First you must shine with positive, high-spirited vibrations, and be full of love. In order to do that, I think it's important to love, thank, and respect yourself. If that’s the case, then each of those vibrations will be sent out into the world and the cosmos, and the great symphony of that harmonic vibration will wrap our planet in waves of love that serve to cherish our Heaven-granted lives. This is the message from water.” -  Masaru Emoto

On the other hand, for anyone who wants to read well presented material presented in a logical order, this book is hard to beat.
Feng Shui Anthology: Contemporary Earth Design - The Feng Shui Anthology is a Feng Shui masterpiece and a rainbow soaring across the publishing industry... Most notable is that it takes difficult and comprehensive theories of Feng Shui and explains them on the mundane and transcendental levels, as well as from psychological, physiological, and spiritual aspects... Nothing is left out! --Feng Shui Grand Master Lin Yun "The Feng Shui Anthology is comprehensive enough to satisfy a beginner, while at the same time holding the interest of a more advanced Feng Shui devotee...a volume of information with a spiritual spin, this one stands out." --The Bloomsbury Review: Every aspect of Feng Shui is addressed in this comprehensive resource guide...Reading this book will give a complete picture.
The Feng Shui House Book: Change Your Home, Transform Your Life: -  Feng shui, the ancient Chinese study of the movement of energy or "chi," is about how the environments in which we live and work have an effect on our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. People now realize that in order to change their lives they need to change their homes. It is this understanding of the link between our spiritual selves and our living and work spaces that is at the heart of feng shui.

In this book you will learn how changes to the interior design of your home--color, furniture placement, organization and storage, art and ornament display, smooth and flowing lines--will be echoed by changes to your life. Different arrangements will affect the movement of energy in your home and workplace which will, in turn, be reflected in your wealth, health, happiness, opportunities, and feelings of peace.

The Western Guide to Feng Shui: Room by Room: After reading Terah Kathryn Collins's The Western Guide to Feng Shui: Room by Room, you'll never look at your home the same way again. Under Collins's caring and perceptive tutelage, the home becomes more than just a box to move around in; it grows into an entire ecology of meaning and encouragement. To begin, Collins explains in clear language the principles of Feng Shui and how it can be good or bad. After detailing a number of items used as traditional Feng Shui enhancements, Collins proceeds to walk us through all the rooms of a house, from foyer to attic, to family room, bedroom, and kitchen. She explains the significance of each room, common problems, and, most importantly, effective solutions. In westernizing her Feng Shui, Collins dispenses with some of the more bizarre and ungainly traditional practices, always keying in on the straightforward and pragmatic. By including inner practices as well as outer, Collins offers one of the most profound and enriching Feng Shui books yet.
Sacred Space: Clearing and Enhancing the Energy of Your Home - "Our homes are mirrors of ourselves. Through them we can interface with the universe."

Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui: Drawing on the success of her first book, Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui, Karen Kingston has met popular demand by expanding on the indispensable activity of clearing clutter. There is very little of actual Feng Shui here, and certainly nothing you can't get elsewhere, but the clutter problem gets full and complete treatment. Kingston reminds us that clutter is stuck energy that keeps you stuck in undesirable life patterns. Therefore, you can "sort out your life by sorting out your junk." Kingston covers the reasons we keep things as well as the amazing stories of people who have cleared their clutter away. More than just junk, clutter is all those things that have negative symbology and that collect stagnant energy. This latter can also apply to bodily, emotional, and spiritual clutter, all of which Kingston describes with characteristic passion. In an age of accumulation, it's good to see a book that frees up life again.
Dowsing
The Divining Heart: Dowsing and Spiritual Unfoldment: Building on the principles and practices presented in The Divining Mind (Richard Wright's first book on dowsing, coauthored by T. Edward Ross II), authors Richard and Pat Wright define dowsing as the "process of uncovering information through the medium of the self." The Wrights believe, as do many dowsers, that the ability to dowse is innate, but they also feel that its proper development is contingent upon the parallel unfoldment of the spiritual qualities in our nature. Through this process, the dowser becomes increasingly cognizant of the interconnectedness of all aspects of life and begins to play his or her part as an agent of healing and positive change.
Spiritual Dowsing: This book is for travelers on the spiritual path who would like to see if dowsing can help them along their way. With the resurgence of interest in dowsing, there has been an expanded awareness of its potential. Many new and very old ways of using these ancient tools are being re-discovered. Now people can dowse for tangible targets like water, oil, treasure, lost objects and lost children, and also for intangible targets like the energies at sacred sites, the human aura and healing. We are now finding that we can dowse for anything - the only limitation seems to be the dowser's imagination and level of consciousness. This immensely practical book by the leading expert guides the beginner into both usage and philosophy. Readable, non-dogmatic and wide-ranging.
Quantum Physics and Consciousness
The Holographic Universe: Author Talbot writes that ". . . there is evidence to suggest that our world and everything in it. . . are also only ghostly images, projections from a level of reality so beyond our own it is literally beyond both space and time." Hence, the title of his book. Beginning with the work of physicist David Bohm and neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, both of whom independently arrived at holographic theories or models of the universe, Talbot explains in clear terms the theory and physics of holography and its application, both in science and in explanation of the paranormal and psychic. His theory of reality accommodates this latest thinking in physics as well as many unresolved mind-body questions. This well-written and fascinating study is recommended for science collections. From Library Journal
Quantum Questions: Mystical Writings of the World's Great Physicists - Here is collection of writings that bridges the gap between science and religion. Quantum Questions collects the mystical writings of each of the major physicists involved in the discovery of quantum physics and relativity, including Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, and Max Planck. The selections are written in non technical language and will be of interest to scientists and nonscientists alike.
The Tao of Chaos: Essence and the Enneagram (Quantum Consciousness, Volume II) - Stephen Wolinsky is rewriting modern psychology. Do yourself a favor and get in on the first edition. -Larry Dossey M.D. This book is very timely in that it focuses on one of the major virtues of creative people- their ability to go on in spite of chaos and imperfections in their lives. Wolinsky masterfully develops therapy exercises to improve our ability to deal with chaos. -Amit Goswami Ph.D. This book is brilliant and it has fantastic and wonderful insights. I shall go back to it again and again. -Deepak Chopra M.D. Stephen Wolinsky offers a profound and unique approach that joins quantum physics and chaos theory to the physics and metaphysics of consciousness. In doing so he discovers radical but powerful methods to transform and enhance the human condition. It is quite possible that the process of therapy will never be the same. From the Publisher
The Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics - David Bohm, Professor of Physics, Birkbeck College, University of London, in Nature "This book is an extremely clear and easily understandable account of the latest developments in physics...
A Brief History of Everything: This account of men and women's place in a universe of sex and gender, self and society, spirit and soul is written in question-and-answer format, making it both readable and accessible. Wilber offers a series of original views on many topics of current controversy, including the gender wars, multiculturalism, modern liberation movements, and the conflict between various approaches to spirituality.
A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness: A Cosmic Book on the Mechanics of Creation -  "A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness is a user-friendly, comical approach to what can be impenetrable subject matter.  Bentov keeps in touch with his audience by providing it with images and physical analogies.  For those who crave a more objective view of the same philosophy, Bentov's work is complemented by a selection of essays by other authors dealing with same subject matter in a more traditionally scientific manner.  Though not as easy to read as Bentov's humorous writing, it is refreshing to see something annotated and substantiated.  It reminds us that the insights gained from Bentov's intuition have their roots in fields ranging from Eastern philosophy to modern physics. By Patrick Brennan
Wholeness and the Implicate Order: At its heart, David Bohm's awe-inspiring book explores a deceptively simple and [I think] very old idea: everything in the universe that we can observe, measure, describe, and come to understand is connected, even if we cannot observe, measure, describe and come to understand that connection (Bohm's "implicate order"). It's not for the faint hearted. You'll be confronted with a devastatingly beautiful philosophical insight that completely undermines our post-"enlightenment" western tendency to divide, conquer, fragment and isolate everything we attempt to understand. You may need to skip the mathematical chunks and do some background reading into Quantum physics to survive the rigors of the argument. You'll probably get frustrated at Bohm's winsome ability to be mathematician and physicist one minute. By Peter Fyee
The Ending of Time: This very important work offers penetrating dialogues between the great spiritual leader and the renowned physicist that shed light on the fundamental nature of existence. Krishnamurti and David Bohm probe such questions as ‘why has humanity made thought so important in every aspect of life? How does one cleanse the mind of the ‘accumulation of time’ and break the ‘pattern of ego -centered activity’? The Ending of Time concludes by referring to the wrong turn humanity has taken, but does not see this as something from which there is no escape. There is an insistence that mankind can change fundamentally; but this requires going from one’s narrow and particular interests toward the general, and ultimately moving still deeper into that purity of compassion, love and intelligence that originates beyond thought, time, or even emptiness.
Spirituality and Philosophy
Autobiography of a Yogi: This is the book that can take you beyond organized religion, and beyond sectarian dogmatism, to help you explore the spiritual and the sublime. It will change your life. You will feel Yogananda's presence at your side while you read. It does not not matter what spiritual traditional you were raised in; this book will take you from where you are, without judgment, and guide you along the path to the next level. By  G. Allhiser
Conversations with God : An Uncommon Dialogue (Book 1) - Blasphemy! Heresy! Who does this man think he is, claiming to speak directly to God?! Jesus did it, Muhammad did it, the Jewish prophets did it, but none of their Gods had the sardonic wit or raw verve of Prophet Walsch's God. Neale Donald Walsch isn't claiming to be the Messiah of a new religion, just a frustrated man who sat down one day with pen in his hand and some tough questions in his heart. As he wrote his questions to God, he realized that God was answering them... directly... through Walsch's pen. The result, far from the apocalyptic predictions or cultic eccentricities you might expect, turns out to be matter-fact, in-your-face wisdom on how to get by in life while remaining true to yourself and your spirituality.
Awakening the Buddha Within: Tibetan Wisdom for the Western World - Lama Surya Das has masterfully written an enlightening introduction to Buddhism, which should prove to be an enduring classic on the subject for years to come. He takes the ancient teachings of Buddhist traditions and wisdom and delivers them succinctly and wholeheartedly to the Western mind.
The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: Thich Nhat Hanh's introduction begins with the Turning the Dharma Wheel Sutra, the classic tale of Buddha's announcement in the Deer Park of his awakening. Nhat Hanh then proceeds through a series of laundry-list definitions of core Buddhist terminology: Four Noble Truths, The Noble Eightfold Path, The Three Dharma Seals, The Three Doors of Liberation, The Twelve Links of Causation, The Three Jewels, The Six Harmonies, The Five Powers, The Five Wonderful Precepts and The Four Immeasurable Minds. Despite the tedium of the list, Nhat Hanh does present Buddhism as way of thinking and a well-traveled path toward enlightenment. Buddhism, he teaches, is not only about the individual's attainment of enlightenment but also about the community, past and present, which has fostered the possibility of an individual's enlightenment. As an introduction to Buddhism, this is a masterful inventory of the basic accouterments of a well-furnished Buddhist life. From Publishers Weekly
God Talks With Arjuna: The Bhagavad Gita - Just as Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi has established itself as peerless and eternal among the masses of spiritual biographies and surveys published each century, God Talks to Arjuna is becoming recognized as that singular presentation of the Bhagavad Gita which will be studied and restudied by sincere seekers and scholars for ages to come. The handsome and lavishly illustrated 1200 page, two volume set is available in both a finely bound slip cased hardcover edition ... and a surprisingly inexpensive paperback printing ... For a volume that will likely be returned to, Bible-like, many times over the years, the hardcover edition is to be recommended if your budget can possibly permit. 

Each of the 700 Bhagavad Gita verses is presented in both Sanskrit and English. More importantly, each verse is followed by commentary and expansion that integrates your study of the Gita with the entire spiritual science of Raja (meditative) Yoga. Hundreds of thoughtful commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita have been published over the centuries; some have been finely crafted by brilliant intellects; only a handful have come from realized sages; in this long awaited Self-Realization Fellowship edition we have the insights of a soul who has experienced and mastered all the spiritual heights extolled by this dearest of Indian scriptures. By Richard Pinneau

I Ching: The Book of Changes and the Unchanging Truth - This book is a must for anyone who is looking for spiritual guidance. Master Ni (Hua Ching Ni) offers the reader straight-forward descriptions of I Ching concepts, along with many other related topics. He explains how the I Ching and nature are connected. His perception of the I Ching hexagrams contains the same gentle wisdom that comes forth in all of his books. He brings the I Ching principles to life by giving us realistic guidelines for daily living, using his experiential knowledge of ancient traditions passed down to him through generations of spiritual masters.
Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior: Awaited for twenty years, the publication of Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins, M.D. finally reveals to the general public secret information heretofore only shared by the author with certain nobelists and world leaders. Analyzing the basic nature of human thought and consciousness itself, the author finally makes available to everyone the key to penetrating the last barrier to the advancement of civilization and science; he details how anyone may resolve for himself the most crucial of all human dilemmas - how to instantly determine the truth or falsehood of any statement or supposed fact. 
This author's boyhood spiritual experience of the "Infinite Presence" has directed his life work as a healing psychiatrist- a healing that transcends his patients' physical world. Dr. Hawkins's basic thesis focuses on the "Ultimate Presence"- the source from which individuals can reach their highest potential. He uses theoretical concepts from particle physics, nonlinear dynamics, and chaos theory to support his study of human behavior. On the referenced Scale of the Levels of Consciousness, which calibrates the levels of Truth from 1 to 1,000, Power vs force calibrates at 850.
The Eye of the I:  Dr. Hawkins newest book describes and explains advanced states of consciousness and the way to Enlightenment. It includes dialogues with both beginning as well as advanced spiritual students worldwide. The nature of consciousness is described in terms which recontextualize and simplify the spiritual process itself, The non-linear reality of the enlightened sage is thereby made comprehensible to the reasoning mind. This exposition of the state of enlightenment is both unique and explicit in that it does not hide specifics in spiritual generalities, which has been the style of ' traditional spiritual classics. The scientific minded reader will be pleased in that for the first time a cogent and verifiable means of verification of spiritual reality is provided by means of an 'objective' reduplicable method of measurement based on physiologically derived clinical evidence. Whereas Power vs Force calibrated at 850 The Eye of the I is more advanced and calibrates at 980 which establishes its level of spiritual truth. I:Reality & Subjectivity calibrates to 999.8. 
I: Reality and Subjectivity: The book 'I: Reality and Subjectivity' concludes the presentation of a long-predicted major advance in critical human knowledge. It explains and describes the very substrate and essence of consciousness as it evolved from its primordial appearance as life on earth on up through evolution as the human ego, and hence, to the ego’s transcendence as the spiritual Reality of Enlightenment and the Presence of Divinity. 
The uncommon clarity and lucidity with which the highly evolved subject matter is presented facilitates the reader's understanding and comprehension.

Truth Vs. Falsehood: How to Tell the Difference - In today’s world of ‘spin doctors,’ controversial news reporting and outrageous advertising claims, we finally have a way to know what is true and what is false. In his landmark book, Truth vs. Falsehood: How to Tell the Difference, Sir David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., describes a simple technique that, like litmus paper, quickly differentiates truth from false and is applicable to all aspects of the human experience. 

Can the reader test a stock tip? No. Can the reader test the integrity level of the company selling the stock? Yes. Is a politician being truthful? Is this diet plan or drug safe for me? A pioneer in consciousness research, Dr. Hawkins reveals there are no longer any secrets. 

Transcending the Levels of Consciousness: Transcending the Levels of Consciousness explores the ego's expressions and inherent limitations and gives detailed explanations and instructions on how to transcend them. It expands the understanding of the levels of consciousness as presented in the now widely-known Map of Consciousness. This book focuses on the individual and studies the experiential subjective blocks to the advancement of consciousness that leads to progressive spiritual awareness and on to higher levels of consciousness preparatory to advanced states such as Enlightenment itself. By analyzing the various obstacles and levels to be transcended, certain principles that support spiritual evolution are self-revealing. This book is therefore a practical manual rather than a comprehensive analysis.
Oneness: In 400 pages of unprecedented Divine Revelations, Oneness gives us an astounding glimpse into the Divine Vision that explains what on earth really is going on in these extraordinary times. Here in these teachings are the answers we've prayed for and a vivid portrait of the fluid nature of the phenomenon we think of as "life." 
Our lives and our world are in upheaval. And in Oneness, we are guided ---with timeless wisdom and unmistakable grace ---to understand why. Oneness, the Divinity we all share, has stepped forth in this monumental moment in human evolution, to spell out exactly how we've managed to create our own worst nightmares, as individuals and as nations, and how to shift those patterns. 

This is a world where the rules are changing before our very eyes. The pillars of so-called scientific proof that supports much we have taught to believe in have begun to crumble in the wake of another kind of truth ---a profound sense of Divine connectedness we have begun to unearth from within the depths of each of us. In this groundbreaking material, we have been given the formula for thriving in the uncharted world at whose very edge humanity now stands. 
Ultimately, Oneness addresses our timeless quest for enlightenment with teachings that reveal the mystery of our existence and put true spiritual transformation within the reach of everyone. In the process, we come to grasp the significance of the choice each of us has made to be present, in physical form, in these extraordinary times.
