The Joyous Cosmology: Adventures in the Chemistry of Consciousness

Over 50 years after it’s initial release, The Joyous Cosmology, by Alan Watts, remains a classic of consciousness exploration, and a ripping good read. Watts, best known for introducing Eastern philosophy to a Western audience, was a spiritual philosopher and the author of more than 20 books. The Joyous Cosmology is full of insight into human consciousness, philosophy, and altered states of mind. Watt’s detailed descriptions of his experiences while using psychodelic drugs remain profoundly relevant today.

“The Joyous Cosmology inevitably sends me into a state of poetic euphoria and anarchistic delight. Alan Watts wrote this wonderful little book in the early 1960 s: that long-lost moment of innocence when psychedelic substances like LSD and psilocybin were starting to permeate the culture of the modern West but no final decision had yet been made on their utility or fate–or their legality. It was a time when a handful of philosopher-poets had the chance to muse on the power of these compounds–’to give some impression of the new world of consciousness which these substances reveal,’ Watts wrote. Reading it again, I can’t help but recall my first forays into the soul-unfolding and mind-opening qualities of the visionary plants and chemical catalysts. ” Daniel Pinchbeck, from the new introduction to The Joyous Cosmology

Expanding Lover’s Love To Infinity

| by Don Mordasini

Expanding Lover’s Love To Infinity by Don Mordasini The joy of a new baby welcomed into the family, spending time with a love one, or sneaking time with beloved friends are gifts that last awhile — but fall away. The enormous demands of caring for a newborn, disagreements with our partner, and life’s stresses in general redirect our emotional energy from love to the situation at hand.

A New Earth — Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle

| by Cheryl Shainmark

The key to more joy and purpose is by living in the present moment. Rather, “being” in the present moment. How do you do that? According to Mr. Tolle, it comes by a slow dismantling of the ego, and it’s endless attachment to the world of “form”. A New Earth is, very simply, one of the best offerings in the field of personal growth and spirituality to come out in years. No matter how near or how far you are along your own spiritual path, you can benefit (and save some steps!) from reading this book. Like his last book, this one is all about finding more joy and purpose in your life right now, and who doesn’t need that?” “A New Earth- Awakening To Your Life’s Purpose” is Oprah Winfrey’s new book club pick!

We’re Still Here…. Looking Beyond 2012

| by Triza Schulz

We’re Still Here… Looking Beyond 2012 Each step we individually take toward higher awareness is a step up for mass consciousness. I’m completely confident as I write this article, that humanity will continue here on earth after December 21, 2012… humanity is definitely inching forward in an evolutionary process of waking up to the greater reality of a compassionate unity within our differences, instead of separation in all its shadow forms.
