TAO TE CHING Lao Tzu Modern English Version by Paul Smith from the Translation from the Chinese by Paul Carus The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text. According to tradition, it was written around 6th century BC by the Perfect Master Lao Tzu, a record-keeper at the Zhou dynasty court by whose name the text is known in China. The text is fundamental to both philosophical and religious Taoism and strongly influenced other schools such as Confucianism and Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and even gardeners have used it as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also spread widely outside East Asia and is among the most translated works in world literature. 'Tao' literally means 'way', or one of its synonyms, but was extended to mean 'the Way'. This term that was variously used by other Chinese philosophers has special meaning within the context of Taoism, where it implies the essential, unnamable process of the universe. 'Te' means 'virtue', 'personal character', 'inner strength' (virtuosity), or 'integrity'. 'Ching' as it is used here means 'canon', 'great book', or 'classic'. 81 chapters or verses in modern English, sometimes rhyming. Introduction on the book and its creator. 147 Pages.

POEMS INSPIRED BY 'GOD SPEAKS' BY MEHER BABA by Paul Smith Meher Baba's metaphysical views are most notably described in God Speaks. His cosmology incorporates concepts and terms from Vedanta, Sufism, and Christianity. Meher Baba upheld the concept of non-duality, the view that diverse creation, or duality, is an illusion and that the goal of life is conscious realization of the absolute Oneness of God inherent in all animate and inanimate beings and things. Meher Baba compares God's original state to an infinite, shore-less ocean that has only unconscious divinity - unaware of itself because there is nothing but itself. From this state, God had the 'whim' to know Himself, and asked 'Who am I?' In response to this question, Creation came into existence. In this analogy, what was previously a still, shore-less Ocean now stirred, forming innumerable 'drops' of itself or souls. Meher Baba often remarked... 'You will find all the answers to your questions in God Speaks. Study the book thoroughly and absorb it.' The poems in this book were composed by Paul Smith during studying Meher Baba's masterpiece.

FOUR MORE SCREENPLAYS BY PAUL SMITH GOING BACK is a movie inspired by a true story of love, courage and determination set in a land at peace, Australia; and a land at war... Cambodia. It is the story of people made into refugees by war: the orphans, the old, the young and those who have lost everything and the effect that deadly landmines often have on them. It is the story of the few from America and Australia who stand up to help and love and befriend and help them. But it is mostly the amazing true story of one man who rises out of the depth of despair and through a stroke of good fortune sets off on an odyssey into a living hell and by his inventiveness and sense of humour many lives are saved and changed. Unlike other stories set in Vietnam and Cambodia that tell of war from the soldiers point of view, GOING BACK tells the tale of an ordinary man and people who act extraordinarily in the worst kinds of situations. It is a story from the recent past that could have been ripped from the headlines of today and probably tomorrow. It is an important story, a sad, funny, weird, fantastic, awful, heroic story of war and love and peace and friendship that had to be told. THE GREATEST GAME unites sport, comedy and romance with a 'lost in the wilderness' adventure. It is the story of a clash of rival codes of football (Australian and American), two sets of lovers and two cultures: the most ancient and modern. It takes up the challenge to discover... what is The Greatest Game? It is spectacular, hilarious, sexy, fast-paced and full of surprises and witty conversations. Get to know the innocent (American) youth abroad, the tough Irishman, the down-to-earth beautiful Australian female, the over-the-top sexy Southern belle and her millionaire father and the wise old aborigine, his loving grandson and many others in novel that spans 50,000 years and two continents.

THE ETERNAL TRIANGLE The Dance of Love Paul Smith from a Scenario by Meher Baba. Music by Bob Welsh In 1934, Meher Baba dictated a scenario for a projected film entitled 'How It All Happened' to show evolution, reincarnation and the process of Realization. Many famous people in the film world of that time including the great film producer Gabriel Pascal were involved. In 1934, during a trip to Hollywood, Pascal was contacted by Princess Norina Matchabelli (wife of the perfume manufacturer and silent film star 'Maria Carmi') about a film project based on the teachings of her Spiritual Master Meher Baba. Pascal became very interested in this project, bringing writers Hy Kraft and Karl Vollmöller into helping him work up treatments and even making a trip to India to discuss the project further with Meher Baba. The project after many years of discussion never eventuated, mainly because the dialogue for the script could never be agreed upon. In 1987 Paul Smith received permission from Meher Baba's sister Mani Irani and the Meher Baba Trust to turn it into a wordless dance/film. Bob Welsh composed the music. It is only in recent times that the advance of computerized film effects have made the project a possibility. Not only does it represent the evolution, reincarnation and involution of the soul in the form, it represents the history of dance.

According to tradition, it was written around 6th century BC by the Perfect Master Lao Tzu, a record-keeper at the Zhou dynasty court by whose name the text is known in China. The text is fundamental to both philosophical and religious Taoism and strongly influenced other schools such as Confucianism and Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and even gardeners have used it as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also spread widely outside East Asia and is among the most translated works in world literature. 'Tao' literally means 'way', or one of its synonyms, but was extended to mean 'the Way'. This term that was variously used by other Chinese philosophers has special meaning within the context of Taoism, where it implies the essential, unnamable process of the universe. 'Te' means 'virtue', 'personal character', 'inner strength' (virtuosity), or 'integrity'. 'Ching' as it is used here means 'canon', 'great book', or 'classic'. 81 chapters or verses in modern English, sometimes rhyming. Introduction on the book and its creator.

DHAMMAPADA Gospel of the Buddha (Large Print & Large Format Edition). Translation & Introduction Paul Smith. From ancient times to now, the Dhammapada has been regarded as the most succinct expression of the Buddha's teaching and the chief spiritual testament of early Buddhism. In the countries following Buddhism, the influence of the Dhammapada is immeasurable. It is a guidebook for resolving problems of everyday life, and a primer for the instruction in the wisdom of understanding. The admiration the Dhammapada has elicited has not been confined to followers of Buddhism. Wherever it has become known, its moral earnestness, realistic understanding of human life, wisdom and stirring message of a way to freedom from suffering have won for it the devotion and veneration of those responsive to the good and true. Here is a modern English translation that keeps as close as possible to the meaning of the original in poetic prose. Large Print (16pt) & Large Format (8" x 10") Edition. 253 pages.

THE ROSE GARDEN OF SECRETS by Shabistari (Poetic Prose Edition) Translation Paul Smith, Introduction E.H. Winfield & Paul Smith. This Sufi Classic was composed as a 1000 couplet long masnavi poem in the form of questions and answers on spiritual matters by Mahmud Shabistari of Tabriz in 1317 at the request of his Spiritual Master. Since then it has been regarded as one of the finest books on Sufism. E.G. Browne in his classic work, 'History of Persian Literature' calls this book "On the whole, one of the best manuals of Sufi theosophy that exists." Rev. John A. Subhan in his 'Sufism, Its Saints and Shrines' states, "We know little about the life of the author... But his work is important out of all comparison with the importance of the author because it is a compendium of Sufi terminology in the form of question and answer." The correct rhyme-structure has been kept in this complete, modern translation and the beauty and meaning of this beautiful, mystical, work. Large Print (18pt) & Large Format (8" x 10") Edition.

Hvis man ikke vidste bedre, så kunne mordet på Olof Palme let fremstilles som en krimi. Og det er præcis, hvad Paul Smith har gjort. I tre bøger opklarede han for efterhånden mange år siden Palmemordet, og selvom den svenske mordkommission egentlig var kommet frem til det samme, så tav man. I bogen rekonstruerer Smith minutiøst morderens færden og genskaber suverænt begivenheder, der i 1986 førte til, at Olof Palme efter at have været i biografen med sin kone, Lisbeth, blev skudt af en tilsyneladende gal mand.

GHAZALS OF 'ATTAR & THOSE OF HIS TRANSLATOR, PAUL SMITH, INSPIRED BY THEM... Farid al-din 'Attar is seen with Sana'i and Rumi (who he met and influenced) as one of the three most important Sufi Poet-Masters of the 13th century. He composed over forty books mainly in the epic masnavi form, his most famous being The Book of God and The Conference of the Birds. He also composed many powerful mystical poems in the ghazal form that influenced Sadi and Hafiz and all who came later. 'Attar's powerful, honest and controversial ghazals remain as fresh today as they always were. With 'Attar the image of the 'rend'... the drunken debauchee, the thief of love, the carefree outsider, the honest scallywag, appears as the poet, the lover... the voice of the ghazal. The way of the malamati, or the path of 'no blame' has now stepped onto the stage of the play of the history of the ghazal and the story of the lover and beloved, the wine and the intoxicated, the Master and the devotee... will never be the same again! Here is a largest translation of his ghazals in English in the correct-rhyme structure with the beauty and meaning and all by his translator inspired by their first couplets. Introduction: Life & Times and Poetry and essay on the Ghazal. Selected Bibliography, Glossary. 204 pages. Large Format Paperback 7" x 10".

SHAHIN OF SHIRAZ The Jewish Sufi Poet of the Time of Hafiz SELECTED POEMS Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Maulana Shahin of Shiraz was a 14th century Jewish Persian Poet who composed only masnavis in the Persian language but written in the Hebrew script. He was alive in his birthplace of Shiraz during the reign of the Il-khanid sultan of Baghdad Abu Said (1316-1335) at whose court was Obeyd Zakani and Khaju Kermani. He is said to have greatly admired three great masnavi writers who came before him, Firdausi, Nizami and Rumi and to have been much influenced by Sufism. It is quite possible that although he would have lived in the large Jewish quarter of Shiraz at the time, with the liberality that existed in that city of about 100,000 (within the walls and another 100,000 outside) he would most likely have come into contact with other poets living there including Hafiz (see Appendix), Obeyd Zakani, Khaju Kermani and Ruh Attar and Jahan Khatun. His first epic masnavi Musa-Nama, 'The Book of Moses' (10,000 couplets) was composed in 1327 and he followed that with Ardashir-Nama, 'The Book of Ardashir and Esther' (9000 couplets) six years later. It would be another 25 years for his last masterpiece to appear in 1358, his Bereshit-Nama, 'Book of Genesis' (8,700 couplets). In his 'Book of Moses' (see cover illustration) he turns Moses into an epic hero like those in Firdausi's Shah-Nama that seems to have been a great influence on him. He should be known as one of the great masnavi Sufi poets of Iran. The form of the masnavi has been kept.

This book presents a model of Christianity that incorporates the insights of a Jesus-centered theology of biblical interpretation, integral philosophy, and over fifty years of pastoral experience in leading evolutionary change in the local church. The perspectives of integral theory and practice, articulated by Ken Wilber, help uncover the integral approach that Jesus advocated and demonstrated in the metaphors of his time and that traditional Christianity has largely been unable to see. Smith incorporates elements of traditional, modern, and postmodern theological viewpoints, including progressive, New Thought, and emerging/emergent ones. However, he goes beyond all of them and moves to a Christianity that is devoted to following both the historical Jesus and the Risen Christ whose Spirit beckons to us from the future. Smith says, "The oldest thing you can say about God is that God is always doing something new. Jesus pushed his own religion to newness by including the best of its past, and transcending the worst of its present. He calls us to do the same, whatever our religion is today."
