Politics and the Occult
The Left, the Right, and the Radically Unseen

Politics and the Occult offers a lively history of this enduring phenomenon.

Creative Evolution
A Physicist's Resolution between Darwinism and Intelligent Design

Amit Goswami

By denying evolution altogether, says quantum physicist Amit Goswani, intelligent design believers fly in the face of scientific data. But the idea of intelligent design does contain substance that neo- Darwinists cannot ignore. Goswani posits that consciousness, not matter, is the primary force in the universe. Biology must come to terms with feeling, meaning, and the purposefulness of life, as well as with the idea of a designer. In this timely,important book, the author offers clear arguments supported by the findings of quantum physics that represent a major step in resolving controversies between science and religion.

The war in Iraq is producing psychological casualties at an alarming rate.

Through case histories and stories, Tick helps us to comprehend the veteran's world from within and traces a path for his/her identity transformation from wounded or disabled veteran to honorable returned warrior. Furthermore, Tick investigates humanity's deep-seated fascination with war, why soldiers from countries like Vietnam do not experience PTSD, and why PTSD might just be our country's soul sickness.

Active message board now discussing In Search of P. D. Ouspensky: The Genius in the Shadow of Gurdjieff by
Gary Lachman, former bassist of the rock group Blondie. Gary has been tuning into the boards to initiate discussion and respond to your comments.

"Identified with form, we act out of ignorance. Our actions bring reactions, frequently producing consequences that we did not anticipate, and we learn bit by bit how things truly are. The veil of ignorance is gradually torn away and we perceive that we are in the world of opposites, but not of it. We discover that we are "the Other, " the inner self, the still point beyond good and evil."
