SECULARISM: THE HIDDEN ORIGINS OF DISBELIEF Mike King
by: Mike King
Only Back soon!
Spirituality can prove a difficult subject these days. Everywhere, from popular media to the bookshelf to the dinner table, religions are derided or marginalised, and some authors seem to make a living by setting upon anyone who admits to a belief in God. It seems, says Mike King, that science and religion are fundamentally at odds and that a mutual respect is unacceptable to either in their parallel pursuit of 'truth'. Yet the majority of 'Enlightenment' authors engaged with both science and spirituality and did not lose their faith. In Secularism, Mike King examines the elements of religion, philosophy and science which have contributed to an almost total disavowal of spirituality by contemporary western intellectuals. He engages with a wide range of thinkers, including Pythagoras, Marx, Spinoza, Darwin and Nietzsche, and incorporates detailed studies of a variety of 'spiritual' leaders, to uncover why the western world no longer has any interest in devotion or accords it any respect.

Thank you for considering donating to Cygnus.
For twenty three years we have sent the Cygnus Review out free with our love. It has been our delight and a pleasure to do so.
As you know Cygnus income has not kept up with the huge increase in postage costs for some time now. So to continue and to develop as a community we will now be relying on increased subscriptions and donations, at least until we have enough regular subscribers.
So your gift from the heart will breathe new life into our community, and will help us create a new future together which unites like-minded people more consciously.
Many of you have expressed an interest in meeting others of like mind so we have begun to find new solutions for this need. Till now your sense of community with Cygnus came through the letterbox in the form of the monthly Cygnus Review.
Now we'd like to explore new ways for you to meet each other as Cygnus Supporters, either locally at Cygnus Cafe Events, virtually in Cygnus forums, if enough of you want this, and perhaps in other ways too. The choice is yours. Till now, Cygnus was Ann's and my creation. I feel the time has come for the sense of ownership to become all of ours, those of us who are committed to spiritural tranformaton.
If you have skills and talents you'd like to share with us from time to time please ask to become a volunteer and we'll contact you. Just put Volunteer in the subject line to info@cygnus-books.co.uk
MEMORIES OF HEAVEN by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
£8.99 £10.99
Dr Wayne W. Dyer and co-author Dee Garnes had often talked about how the ones who know the most about God are those who have just recently been wrapped in the arms of the Divine: our infants and toddlers. In fact, Dee had an interaction with her own young son that convinced her of his acquaintance with our Source of being.
Curious about this phenomenon, Wayne and Dee decided to issue an invitation to parents all over the globe to share their experiences. The overwhelming response they received prompted them to put together this book, which includes the most interesting and illuminating of these stories in which boys and girls speak about their remembrances from the time before they were born. Children share their dialogues with God, talk about long-deceased family members they knew while in the dimension of Spirit, verify past-life recollections, give evidence that they themselves had a hand in picking their own parents and the timing of their sojourn to Earth, and speak eloquently and accurately of a kind of Divine love that exists beyond this physical realm.
This fascinating book encourages all of us, not just parents, to take a much more active role in communicating with our planet's new arrivals...and to realize that there is far more to this earthly experience than what we perceive with our five senses.
GIFT OF AN ANGEL by Wendy Jane Erlick
£8.99 £10.99
There’s a great quotation from renowned author Cilla Conway on this book, and it sums up my feelings as well: “I don’t normally read books on angels as I find many of them too saccharine, but I found Wendy Erlick’s book direct, authentic and sometimes very moving”. This gets it exactly right: it’s down to earth, everyday and for that very reason very inspiring. A spiritual gift like this can descend on any of us at any time, and her story is well-told and compelling, but the account becomes incredibly useful in the second half of the book when she goes into detail about her training and shows us how too we can get in touch with invisible beings. She discusses the different angels and what they specialize in and how we can work with them, but all this in a very straightforward and refreshingly non-ethereal way.
