Christina and Stanislav Grof report that many people are undergoing a profound personal transformation associated with spiritual opening. Under favourable circumstances, this process results in emotional healing, a radical shift in values, and a profound awareness of the mystical dimension of existence. For some, the changes can be so rapid and dramatic that they interfere with effective everyday functioning, creating tremendous inner turmoil. Unfortunately, many traditional health-care professionals do not recognize the positive potential of these crises. The Grofs are foremost pioneers on the subject of spiritual emergence, and draw on years of dramatic personal and professional experience with transformative states to explore these spiritual emergencies.

The Dalai Lama is an extraordinary example of a life dedicated to peace, communication, and unity. Robert Thurman explores why he has earned the world's love and respect, and how restoring Tibet's autonomy within China is not only possible, but highly reasonable, and absolutely necessary for all of us together to have a peaceful future as a global community. In the decades since the Chinese occupation of Tibet, Tibetans have seen their ecosystem destroyed, their religion, language and culture repressed, and systematic oppression against anyone who dares acknowledge Tibetan sovereignty. Yet, the Dalai Lama has been a consistent voice for peace, sharing a middle-way approach that has gathered accolades from the Nobel Peace Prize to the US Congressional Gold Medal. The author is professor of Buddhist Studies, Columbia University, a translator of key Tibetan literature, and friend of the Dalai Lama for 40 years. ISBN/ASIN: 1582702209.

Garden City, NY: Anchor Books / Doubleday. 326 pp. Paperback small octavo, good plus condition, edges slightly foxed, minor edgewear. Ken Wilber presents a comprehensive model of consciousness based on empirical, psychological and spiritual modes of understanding.
