by Toni Boehm
|
Cassette tape, $9.95 CD, 73 minutes, $15.95

Brought to us by UNITY MiltiMedia, popular Unity teacher Reverend Toni
Boehm takes us on a journey from the head to the heart, and teaches us to
"feel" our thoughts so we can bring our ideas into concrete form.
"There lives within you a heart-wisdom. Your heart is an energy center,
and it
contains a depth of intuitive genius that has the ability to call forth
universal wisdom.
This wisdom doesn't come from books, but it's the result of tapping into
the spiritual
reservoir that resides within you. Once you learn how to tap into this wisdom,
it can and
will be your guide every moment of the day." ----Toni Boehm

Mind: The Master Power
|
by Charles Roth
|
Softcover, 210 pp, $9.95
|
|
Beginning October 10th through November 7th Nelda Bloom, our soon to be
Licensed Unity Teacher, will present a class based on a very popular Unity book, Mind:
The Master Power by Charles Roth. This will be a daytime class, in an effort to meet the
needs of some people who cannot attend an evening class.
The Reverend Charles Roth wrote Mind: The Master Power in response to
thousands of requests for more meditation and affirmation materials from around the
world. This book, which has almost become a Unity classic, contains information even
more pertinent today for the spiritual seeker than when it was first published in 1974.
Reverend Roth has taught his inspired techniques of meditation in various locations
around the world.
Millions of readers and students have used Mind: The Master Power to discover
how to use the five talents within each of us that makes us extra-ordinary today. We can
transform our lives by recognizing and using the cosmic power and spiritual catalyst of
gratitude. We can honor and reach the power of the indwelling Christ within each of us.
Learn to meditate by tapping into the power of word and practice using word
mindholds." Use the power of the master mind to become a practical mystic. If we plan
the use of creative visualization and unlimited imagination, we can change our lives. We
can take the three steps to releasing our spiritual energy and change our lives by putting
Truth into practice.
Creative visualization and unlimited imagination has been taught by Unity
teachers for years. But when we talk about cosmic power and spiritual catalyst, well, this
book and this class may be a s-t-r-e-t-c-h for many of us. But, we always feel so much
better after a good stretch.

The Inner Core
|
by Robert L. Marshall |
Softcover, 160 pp., $13.95
|
|
An exciting resurgence in the interest in mysticism and spiritual experience is
occurring, and Robert L. Marshall's book is an ideal handbook to teach the spiritual
explorer how to navigate the mystical realms, tap into higher Christ energies, and know
God.
Whole chapters in the book are devoted to teaching the basic tools readers can use
to break through to a higher experience, to design their own spiritual practices and
meditation techniques, and to achieve a heightened sense of group consciousness.
"The book intends to empower and train spiritual explorers rather than merely
offer philosophical answers," said Marshall. "There has never been a better time
than now to be an active participant in humanity's spiritual awakening--not just read about."
After reading the book, readers will understand what is meant by the statement
"Real life experienced at a heightened level of awareness is the most exciting thing we can do!"

Love Without End
|
By: Glenda Green-- Review by Michael Beale |
Softcover, 344pp, $18.95
|
|
How would you like to know more
about your innate ability to compress the particles of
God's universe into material form? Maybe you desire more knowledge of the magnetic
vortex that dwells within your sacred heart center? Perhaps you would like a glimpse at
future sciences that will soon alter existence on Earth as we know it. In this extraordinary book you may find this and much more.
If you are like many of us who have dabbled in the many spirit inspired books that
have begun to proliferate over the last quarter century, then you will be delighted in
reading this entry by Glenda Green. Glenda is an acclaimed artist who was led to embark
upon the task of painting a portrait of Jesus. As she continued to follow the trail of
serendipitous events that unfolded, she eventually found herself face to face with our
master Jesus in her studio to pose for the portrait. A magical story leads us to the reality of this visitation, which was to continue for a period of four months. During this time great deal of dialog with Jesus led to the inevitable publishing of all this wonderfully
fresh information.
In this amazing volume of work many new principles are brought forth for our
deeper understanding of our true relationship with God and instructions for returning to
our unique covenant. Jesus tells us that the original sin was simply judgment and remains
to this day the single biggest hurdle for collective consciousness. Once this comes to
pass, we will move into a revelation of new sciences. Many times he repeated, "Love is first, foremost, and always, because love calls everything into assembly. Love ignites
union. Love unites particles and formulates relationships. The physical agent is
magnetism. That power applied to physical existence is compression."
Much is offered here for assisting us in a successful life. All this was brought to us
deliberately and with great loving compassion. I sincerely hope that one by one this book
will become a personal manual for many. At the end of his appearance Jesus spoke these
final words, "I am the lion who came as a lamb and the lamb who roared as a lion. I am the living paradox of love unleashed upon the Earth--a force to end its duality. And you
are My Beloved."

Manifest Your Destiny
|
By: Wayne W. Dyer
|
Softcover,
171 pp. $13.00. |
|
This book really takes us
deep in to some New Thought principles. I quote: "When you cultivate the inner
conviction to manifest from the world of the unseen into the material world, you
understand that there is a universal God force that is in all things in the universe. There is
not a separate God for each individual, each plant, each animal, each mineral. They are
all one. Therefore the same God force that is within you and causes you to think and
breathe is simultaneously in everyone and everything else as well. It is universal. Thus,
there is no place that it is not. Consequently, that which you perceive to be missing from
you life also contains the same God force or universal intelligence that is within you."
- Are the decisions and actions in your life controlled by your ego? Do you have an
ever-present need to defend yourself? See The First Principle.
- Do you inherently trust yourself and your decisions? Are you weighed down with
troubles or unresolved issues in you life? See The Second Principle.
- Do you feel out of touch with your environment? Are your days more often out of
synch than in? See The Third Principle.
- Do you have limits in your life that prevent you from making changes or
achieving your highest goals? See The Fourth Principle.
- Do you love what you do, and do what you love, in life? Are you constrained by
feelings of unworthiness? See The Fifth Principle.
- Is you day filled with high energy and the feeling that "everything is going my
way"? Or do you experience frustration or anger? See The Sixth Principle.
- How would your life change after learning to attract what you want ___ peace or
love, job advancement or monetary fortune? See The Seventh Principle.
- Do you believe that the universe operates randomly? Are you impatient waiting
for good things to happen? See The Eighth Principle.
- Do you complain, find fault, or take for granted more often than you appreciate
your life? See The Ninth Principle.

Now The Time
|
by George Bendall, L.H.D.
|
Softcover, 192 pp., $14.95 |
|
Here is one of the very few books that talk you through the healing use of
metaphysics. Not preachment, lecture, or harangue; not an instruction manual; not a
discourse on theory.
Dr. George Bendall___a Roosevelt Administration brain trustee who switched
jobs and went to work for Science of Mind founder Ernest Holmes___ here brings to bear
his skills and savvy to walk us through the process of nothing less than changing our life,
beginning with the healing of whatever it may be and thereafter daily using "a power that can overcome every obstacle in our experience and set us safe, satisfied, and at peace,
healed and prosperous in a new light and a new life." (Ernest Holmes)
Not big talk or gimmickry, but there is a technique here, and Dr. Bendall explains
what it is, how it works, and how to use it. No externals, no paces to put yourself
through, nothing to pay and nobody to heed. Instead, everything takes place at causation
itself: Mental Headquarters: YOU.
But nobody is saying it's easy. That is up to you. Therefore "If ye know these
things, happy are ye if ye do them." (John 13:17)

The Sacred Continuum
|
By: Stephanie Sorensen
|
Softcover, 128pp., $8.95
|
|
Is it possible to practice prayer-like thought in the space between our "official" prayers?
Can we learn to transcend the world of appearances (which may be denying our
prayer, or at least discouraging it) with a ceaseless acknowledgment of Spirit as the only
true Source, Substance, and Power?
The Presence is still present whether we are acknowledging It in prayer or
ignoring It as we think and speak in our everyday lives. Universal Creative Energy
doesn't turn off or go somewhere else until we are ready to "use" It in our prayers. It is everywhere all of the time, and It is always active---whether we're ready or not.
There's a lesson in all of this: We cannot afford to pray only occasionally!
To "pray without ceasing" has been an elusive goal, ever since Paul urged it on us. Enter, now, the SACRED CONTINUUM and see at last how it's achieved.
The author writes:
"We must support the words we speak in prayer by perceiving
the space between our prayers as being just as sacred and creative
as the prayers themselves, and by living the Principle of those
prayers throughout the day."

What You Think Is What You Get
|
By: George Lavenia
|
Softcover, 189pp., $12.95
|
|
A book that brings to light the idea that we create the world we chose to live in. A
griping book that cuts right to the heart of the human problem. This book is for everyone
who is sincere about finding the truth about his or her real self and true nature which
Lavenia points out is the experience of mental and physical well being and the innate
ability to create what your heart desires. Everyone owes it to themselves to read this book
and take full advantage of what it offers.
"There is much food for action here." - Dr. Wayne Dyer
"George Lavenia has given us a very special gift - great and wonderful
wisdom in a small and wonderful package. You cannot help but benefit from
this book. Its clarity and insight are a treasure for the soul." - Neale Donald Walsch

The Four Agreements |
by Don Miguel Ruiz |
Softcover, 138 pp., $12.95 |
|
A Toltec Wisdom book
A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
In The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting
beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom,
the Four Agreements offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our
lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.
The Toltecs were members of an ancient group of Nahuati Indians who lived in
Mexico before the Astecs. Their culture shows Mayan influence. It is interesting to see
how closely their ancient wisdom compares to our Unity philosophy.
The Four Agreements are:
- Be Impeccable With Your Word.
- Don't Take Anything Personally.
- Don't Make Assumptions.
- Always Do Your Best
If you would add a Fifth Agreement, Always Wear Clean Underwear, this would be
exactly what my mother always taught me.

The Creative Life
|
By: Eric Butterworth
|
Hardcover, 155 pp., $18.95 |
|
7 KEYS TO YOUR INNER GENIUS
In The Creative Life, Eric Butterworth brings his spiritual insight to a unique
exploration of the creative process. Within every person, he says, is hidden genius to
which we give expression through commitment, discipline, and the enthusiasm that works
with passion. He has identified seven keys to releasing our creative genius: sequential
steps that correspond symbolically with the days of creation as outlined in the Book of
Genesis. These keys allow us to see creativity as something within ourselves rather than
something with form and substance, as a moving process rather than a series of discrete
acts, as a divinely granted inner flow of inspiration.
With its transcendent wisdom and gentle guidance, Eric Butterworth's book will
delight his dedicated followers and new fans alike.

The Seat of the Soul
|
By: Gary Zukaw
|
Softcover, 249 pp., $14.00
|
|
The Seat of the Soul is about the birth of a new species---and the explosion of
human perception past the five senses. It is about the values of the soul---harmony,
cooperation, sharing, and reverence for Life. It is about authentic power---the alignment
of the personality with the soul. It is about nonphysical guides and Teachers. The Seat of the Soul is written for the largest, fastest growing market the world
has ever seen or ever will see. That is because the new species is being born inside of us.
The Seat of the Soul is about this birth, what it means, and how to participate in it wisely.
"Filled with wisdom, and written in a beautifully simple, almost poetic style, The
Seat of the Soul is a book to be savored." --Brian Weiss, M.D.
"A readable, thought provoking work on how our perceptions must change
dramatically if we are to survive." --Library Journal

the basic principle that creative expression is the natural direction of life, Julia Cameron

how to tap into the higher power that connects human creativity with the creative energies
of the universe, and guides you through a variety of highly effective exercises and
activities that spur imagination and capture new ideas. Whatever your spiritual orientation, The Artist's Way will resonate in your
creative mind with truth, wisdom, and inspiration.

The Power of Now
|
By: Eckhart Tolle
|
Hardcover, 191 pp., $21.95 |
|
A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
To make the journey into The Power of Now we will need to leave our analytical
mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. From the beginning of the first chapter
we move rapidly into significantly higher altitude where one breathes a lighter air, the air
of the spiritual. Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle offers simple
language and a question and answer format to guide us. The words themselves are the
signposts.
If we are able to be fully present and take each step in the Now; if we are able to
feel the reality of such things as the "inner-body," "surrender," "forgiveness," and the
"Unmanifested," we will be opening ourselves to the transforming experience of The
Power of Now.

The I of the Storm
|
By: Gary Simmons
|
Softcover, 159 pp., $13.95 |
|
Embracing Conflict, Creating Peace
Gary Simmons takes us beyond merely managing the conflict of our lives to
actually embracing the conflict, allowing it to teach us what we otherwise might not learn.
This process leads to peacemaking....whether it be within ourselves, in our relationships,
or as a result of outside circumstances.
He integrates spiritual principles, biblical principles, biblical quotes, and martial
arts philosophy as well as concepts from modern science---especially quantum theory. In
this way he points us to the "I" of the storm of conflict, to our spiritual self, as the means of realizing peace in our lives.
With this book we can transform fear in fearlessness....resistance into
nonresistance. It is ideal for anyone struggling with relationship discord and personal
challenges and in general for everyone who feels uncomfortable with conflict.

Good Morning, Sun
|
By: J.C. McCrary
|
Softcover, 154 pp., $9.95 |
|
|
A NOVEL OF TRANSFORMATION
Good story! Quick "read". Thought provoking. The story is fiction, and the
healing "device" is fantasy; but maybe this simple book answers some questions for those
looking for spiritual direction. Maybe now we can understand the possibility of
"reincarnation." Is our ages-old mindset (that judges us physical) out of date? Are we
truly "spiritual beings having a physical experience?" Do we truly come to earth, time
and time again - meeting the same people in different environs - facing the same chances
to learn - time and time again?

Climbing The Mountain
|
By: J. Cline-McCrary
|
Softcover, 438 pp., $16.95 |
|
Bible Study for Those Who "Hear"
The Bible is a book of life, but sometimes people get lost shortly after the Garden
of Eden. Now we can be guided to "see" more. Climbing the Mountain
provides a new approach to Bible study. The reader is invited to "see" himself or herself
as a climber - alongside the major Biblical characters. The CLIMB is from the
understanding of Adam and Eve to that of Jesus, the Christ. All mankind is invited to
CLIMB. All mankind is invited to "hear."
From the introduction: "Climbing the Mountain is not about mountain climbing.
It is a lesson book for Bible study. It is a lesson book for going through life. It is not to
be memorized or learned; it is to be freely modified by each reader. Moreover, it is not to
be regarded as the definitive work of the Bible, for at its core is the premise that there can
be no definitive work on the Bible. In fact, the title might be more revealing if expanded
to Lessons for Climbing the Mountain as I have Heard Them for Myself. Although
excessive in length, the expanded title subtly reveals an important truth: each of us is an
individual who has a direct and personal relationship with what we call God, whether we
recognize it or not. Each of us is on the way to becoming a righteous person;
consequently each of us is climbing the Mountain. Each of us is developing this
relationship with what we call God. "To what end?" To the end which Jesus personified -
to perfecting this relationship until we, too, know that we are the beloved child of the
living God."
