ZEN AND THE ART OF DEALING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE Mark Westmoquette
by: Mark Westmoquette
Only Back soon!
We all have to deal with difficult people. It is a fact of life. But often we don’t stop to think why these people are difficult for us to deal with, because they certainly aren’t difficult for everybody. This questioning is what this book highlights as the key to softening your approach when dealing with people who you find irksome. The author is a Zen monk and has suffered a lot in his life, including abuse by his own father. These techniques are tried and tested. Practising the art of Zen and mindfulness teaches you how to listen to the anger you feel and, rather than ignoring or indulging it, begin relating to it in a different way. These teachings will show you how the most troublesome people in your life can actually become your best teachers.

NOT I, NOT OTHER THAN I by Russel Williams
£6.49 £9.99
Our world is full of books on all aspects of spiritual teaching, from the serious academic to the borderline flaky, but now, suddenly, this little book appears like a jewel in the rock face of inspirational literature. Throughout his long and challenging life Russel Williams has been quietly dispersing his unique teachings to small groups, seeking no recognition or reward, just quietly changing lives. Now, well into his 90s, he has agreed to allow Steve Taylor to put together and publish both the story of his life and the essence of his teachings. Russel Williams received almost no education, after attending 17 different schools he finally left and started work at the age of 11. So this is no formal doctrine, but the freshness and clarity of thought that arises from the creativity of an empty mind. A jewel of a book to read from cover to cover, then read all over again.

GATEWAY OF LIGHT ACTIVATION CARDS by Kyle Gray
£17.99
Kyle is a much-loved author at Cygnus. He has done a number of decks already but this I think is the first that doesn’t involve angels or representations of beings of any kind. Instead they are mostly doorways, windows and wonderful mystical symbols. They are in his usual otherworldly style – painted by Jennifer Hawkyard, who also created the Angel Guide Oracle with him – and just hold the promise of “the beyond”. They are genuinely beautiful and draw you in: images include Annunaki Light Codes, The Divine Matrix, Higher Heart Activation and Sirius Star Blessings. It’s a way of bridging to other realms, to that which is beyond. It’s also called an Oracle and the book enclosed give suggestions for use, but for me it’s best as a vision of the cosmos on a broader and more radiant level. It’s an exciting and inspiring deck.

HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES by Joseph Campbell
£23.00
Since its release in 1949, The Hero with a Thousand Faces has influenced millions of readers by combining the insights of modern psychology with Joseph Campbell’s revolutionary understanding of comparative mythology. In these pages, Campbell outlines the Hero’s Journey, a universal motif of adventure and transformation that runs through virtually all of the world’s mythic traditions. He also explores the Cosmogonic Cycle, the mythic pattern of world creation and destruction.
As part of the Joseph Campbell Foundation’s Collected Works of Joseph Campbell, this third edition features expanded illustrations, a comprehensive bibliography, and more accessible sidebars.
As relevant today as when it was first published, The Hero with a Thousand Faces continues to find new audiences in fields ranging from religion and anthropology to literature and film studies. The book has also profoundly influenced creative artists—including authors, songwriters, game designers, and filmmakers—and continues to inspire all those interested in the inherent human need to tell stories.
