We live in the midst of a vast universe. Currently, our sciences enable us to perceive less than 5% of it. The rest is designated dark energy and dark matter. This means 95% of the universe effectively remains a mystery. In "The Kosmic Web" human beings who have completed their cycles of incarnation offer intriguing insights into the mystery of all existence. Drawing on the ideas and vocabulary of current scientific and evolutionary thinking, they present fascinating yet often challenging observations on how the spiritual, biological, energetic, material and metaphysical aspects of reality interlace to form and sustain the extended kosmos. Ideas explored include:The origin of our universe as part of a multiverse The multiverse as an experiment in evolving consciousnessThe interlaced energetic layers that underpin all that existsThe origins and developmental nature of human identityThe ways spiritual identities co-associate with biological speciesThe purpose and process of reincarnationThe aura's developmental and communicative functionsThe concept of spiritual space and humanityís place in itThe ultimate intention and meaning of human existenceFor those seeking to understand the what, how and why of their lives, "The Kosmic Web" provides thrilling new concepts for understanding humanity's position in the multi-layered web of life.[From the book]: ¿¿"What if you could access trans-human explanations of reality? Human beings need to break free of the constant flow of their everyday impressions, feelings and thoughts in order to perceive what lies beyond the everyday, whereas we, as non-embodied identities, automatically have an overview of human existence that extends far beyond what any human can perceive.In asserting this, we make no claim for God-like knowledge. We are just another form of spiritual identity, the same type as you but at a different phase of our growth cycle. Our role is currently that of informant and guide. In this book we focus on two specific aspects of pertinent information. These are the nature of reality, and the source and purpose of human identity."

Learning Who You Are offers a contemporary take on the age-old questions of who we are and why we are here. The book builds on current scientific knowledge to show how the physical and spiritual realms are interlinked. It does this by presenting a number of innovative models and conceptual frameworks that mesh with twenty-first century understanding. The book also discusses the process of validating these models and concepts empirically, through observation, and explains how meditation may be used to expand vision within and beyond the everyday self. Throughout, the emphasis is on practical processes, focused on the here and now, yet which have the potential to open a doorway into the beyond.All this is explored using an open-ended, experimental approach that challenges the rigid dichotomies of the past, such as the mundane many vs the enlightened few, and the profane human vs the sacred divine. Historically, the notion of divinity has erected a barrier between humanity and the spiritual realm, which signals that whatever happens in the spiritual dimension is distant and so must remain an unfathomable mystery. Learning Who You Are alternatively, and controversially, asserts that the spiritual domain is not divine; individual human spirits, enlightened or otherwise, are not special; and the spiritual is neither distant nor unfathomable.The absence of divinity means no Divine Being is pushing or pulling any of us during the course of our lives. So understanding the fundamental nature of our existence doesn't depend on divine decree or sacred revelation. We are already spiritual, hence appreciating the spiritual bases of our existence may be achieved straightforwardly-should we wish to do so, and be willing to make the effort required to discern them.Learning Who You Are offers the spiritually inquisitive and adventurous a unique, contemporary perspective on what it is to be human, and what may be achieved while living on this often perplexing planet.

When Peter Calvert gathered a small group of meditators and set them the task of opening their minds to whoever arrived, he didn't anticipate the astonishing encounters that would result. Two situation rapidly emerged.The first was that the meditators discovered a small percentage of people become confused after death. Lost in a transitional zone, they need guidance to move on to the next phase of their existence. This book offers a selection from the many rescues the meditators performed.The second situation was profoundly troubling. In a series of vexed visits, nature spirits pleaded with the meditators to share an urgent message with humanity regarding the dire state of the planet's ecosystems, which have reached a point of crisis.Spirits have long been viewed as meddling or dangerous. People of the Earth shows this assumption is incorrect. The book offers a new perspective on spirits, indicating their diversity, their differing functions and perspectives, and suggests how they may be categorised. Through a sequence of intriguing dialogues between the meditators and visiting non-embodied beings, People of the Earth provides sobering insights to those who seek to understand what is required of us spiritually to sustain the health of the planet's ecosystems.
