This is a far moreprecise word that covers all experi-ences in which consciousnessseems to be outside of the body ...‘ec ’ indica ti ng outs id e and‘soma’ [being] a Latin term forbody.” Peake reviews the historyof this fascinating subject, and then,using recent discoveries in neurol-ogy, consciousness studies andquantum physics, suggests a chal-lenging new model of how our per-ception may interface with ‘reality’.

ples, the great master’s life-imageis lovingly framed and highlightedas Swami Kriyananda offers illumi-nating insights into his guru’s ex-periences, and his life’s work andteachings. “Yogananda was a tow-ering giant among saints - one ofthose few who come from age toage, having been sent by God withthe divine mission of guiding man-kind out of the fogs of delusioninto the clear light of divine under-standing.” Kriyananda tells hisstories from first-hand experience,putting to rest many misconcep-tions about his guru, and revealsYogananda’s many-sided great-ness.

The Path of the Yoga SutrasA Practical Guide to the Core of YogaNicolai Bachman PB $24.95

One of the great giftsof the yogic path isthat it returns us to alife of simplicity,even as we go aboutour lives in a worldof growing complex-

For today’s yoga stu-dent looking to take their practicebeyond asana and into everydaylife, Nicolai Bachman presents ThePath of the Yoga Sutras. Organizingthe sutras into fifty-one core con-cepts that support the Western stu-dent in germinating and blossom-ing these potent “seed” teachings,Bachman has created a break-through tool for integrating yogaphilosophy and practice, whateveryour level of experience.

The Science DelusionFreeing the Spirit of EnquiryRupert Sheldrake PB $33.00

The ‘science delu-sion’ is the beliefthat science alreadyunderstands thenature of reality:the fundamentalquestions are an-swered, leaving

only the details to be filled in. Inthis book, Dr. Rupert Sheldrake,one of the world’s most innovativescientists, shows that science is be-ing constricted by assumptionsthat have become hardened intodogmas. The ‘scientific worldview’has become a belief system.“Dogmatic ideology, fear-basedconformity and institutional iner-tia are inhibiting scientific creativ-ity.” Sheldrake examines the tencore beliefs that most scientiststake for granted, turning each doc-trine into a question. He showspersuasively that science would bebetter off without them: “freer,more interesting, and more fun”.“The realisation that the sciencesdo not know the fundamental an-swers leads to humility rather thanarrogance, and openness ratherthan dogmatism.”

Landscapes For a Mind’s EyeGemma Turvey and the New PalmCourt Orchestra CD $30.00It takes great talentto produce musicthat is engaging andat the same time of-fers respite, a placeto dream, contem-plate and be at peace. On Landscapes,jazz, classical and contemporary com-positions are combined, fulfillingthese criteria to a tee. Composed byGemma Turvey and performed byThe New Palm Court Orchestra, achamber ensemble, this is a CD of ele-gance and poignant beauty. On‘Adagio’, the combination of UilleanPipes and classical composition cre-ates a Celtic chamber piece that ispositively enchanting. ‘Ganges’ sees agentle minimalist pattern slowly buildto a beautiful crescendo, a superb playof repetition, tension and release.These are two songs amongst nine, allsuperbly rendered, like fine art.

KIRTAN NEWS: Local musician, Angela Hina Gates, has enlisted the talents of tabla maes-tro Glen Kneibiss, multi-instrumentalist Pin Rada, cellist Francesca Mountford and ban-suri flautist Vinod Prasanna amongst others, to accompany her new release Love Forever(CD $25.00). Inspired by her own spiritual journey, she writes heart-felt songs that arebeautifully realized. It’s great to see a local release of devotional music that is as accom-plished as this offering. David Newman and wife Mira have produced Stars (CD $24.95), a

collection of songs that creates a bridge between guitar/singer-songwriter styles and kirtan. It’s a pleasinglylaid-back affair that many yogi’s and Bhakti practitioners will enjoy for its blending of sa-cred and secular. Amrita (CD $19.95) from Ben Leinbach (vocals, guitars etc.) and PrajnaVieira (vocals, harmonium, kartals) features guest performances from Jai Uttal, BenjyWertheimer and others. The songs, all bhajans , are supported by a broad range of acousticinstruments that bring to mind the work of Rasa – undoubtedly through the presence of thesoothing tones of the cello.

Two stalwarts of the new-age music firmament have produced new releases:Deuter has produced Flowers of Silence ($26.95). Fea-turing shakuhachi, gongs, bells and keyboard textures,Deuter has created a series of pieces evoking musicfrom the Japanese Zen tradition.Sound healer Jonathan Goldman has created a releasethat his label proposes “takes you beyond Om”!! Cosmic Hum ($24.95) isa kind of ‘white noise’ deeply resonant, hum. Multi-tracked voicescreate a constant drone which is interspersed with singing bowls - it’ssuited for meditation practice and healing rooms.

I Am Tom Shadyac (Writer/Director) DVD $20.95While not new, having been available for eight months now, I Am is a film that is quietly devel-oping a reputation as a ‘must-see’ film. Tom Shadyac was a successful Hollywood director(Liar Liar, Nutty Professor, Bruce Almighty) who after suffering a life threatening head injury, be-gan to re-assess his motives and place in the scheme of things. He asked two basic questions,“What’s wrong with our world?”, and “What can we do about it?”. He then gathered a small filmcrew and visited poets, religious/spiritual leaders, scientists and teachers and sought their re-sponses to the causes of everything that’s ‘wrong’ with the world. Lynn McTaggart, Noam

Chomsky, Desmond Tutu, Coleman Barks and others helped Tom to come to the following conclusion: “Westarted by asking what’s wrong with the world, and ended up discovering what’s right with it”.
