Lewis Thompson
Journals of an Integral Poet

Volume One: 1932 to 1944

Edited by Richard Lannoy

An inspiring story of profound commitment to awakening through the utmost exertion of poetic action, told with daring and fiery zeal. In a luminous and accessible style that is critical, incisive and refreshingly alive, Thompson’s recounts his daily search for and experience of liberation while living in India among such spiritual luminaries as Sri Ramana Maharshi and Ananadamayi Ma. Thompson’s Western heritage – from Blake to Rimbaud – is illuminated by the wisdom of Indian thought, myth and symbol.

Integral Realist
The Journals of Lewis Thompson

Volume Two: 1945 to 1949

Edited by Richard Lannoy

"The critical point where European and Indian traditions of thought interrogate one another in full mutual respect... Phrase after phrase that might appear, at first glance, to be merely descriptive, acts on the imagination like the ringing of a temple bell; illusory boundaries between inner and outer are dissolved, and the poet is so entirely present inside the language into which he conjures his experience that there is no separating the one from the other or the observer from the thing observed."

— Lindsay Clark

Embracing Autism
In Preschool
Successful Strategies
For General Education Teachers

Karen Griffin Roberts
Foreword by Eva Thorp, Ph.D.

"Embracing Autism in Preschool is a valuable book for preschool teachers, special educators, speech/language clinicians and parents. It underscores social interaction as the foundation for the development and use of language in natural settings. These interactions are also crucial for further development of socialization, which is such a challenge for children on the autism spectrum. This book's practicality and resources make it possible to truly feel, in Karen's words, that "it is a privilege to have a child with autism in your class."

— M. Jean Buffardi, M.S., CCC-SLP, speech/language pathologist, early childhood special educator, and adjunct instructor, George Mason University.

Free and Easy Wandering
Markings on the Way

Richard Stodart

Inspired by a Taoist path of nonduality, Free and Easy Wandering is a journey of transformation within a nondual realizational/dynamic framework. The twelve markings from isolation to nonduality negotiate light and darkness as temporal designations of the activity of dependent origination.

Seventeen paintings illustrate the markings.

What really caused the 2008-2009 recession, and what are the global economic implications? Singling Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Boswell shows how these privately owned Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) set mortgage rates for the rest of the country and led the housing market into crisis. Much-needed solutions are offered for boosting the economy – including the use of methodologies such as PERC (Performance Evaluation Report Card).

Sacred Spark is the compelling true story of a child affected by mercury-poisoning and his minister-mother's decade-long battle to restore the light in his eyes.

Sacred Spark is also the inspiring story of Rev. Sykes' work with the United Methodist Church to pass the first global resolution advocating the elimination of mercury from medicine. As such, Rev. Sykes helps her church ignite a social justice movement on par with historical faith-based campaigns against child labor and slavery.

Sacred Spark is a pragmatic and compassionate call for putting the well-being of children first. Parents and physicians demanding safer vaccines will find clarity to support their informed choices, as well as inspiration and guidance to become advocates for children.

Rev. Sykes weaves into a seamless whole several strands of fast-paced and engrossing narrative: her family's horror in witnessing their happy toddler slip into autism; her victories in appropriate and landmark biomedical treatments for her son; her attempts to find precious allies against a corrupt and protected industry; the success of empowered parents to enact state bans on mercury and to approach Attorneys General across the country, and her own family's lawsuit defeat on a procedural technicality against a pharmaceutical company.

Roots That Shape a Life

In sequence or at random, I can visit any section and find poetry, spirituality and physicality together, unfenced. Inspired in its language, deeply meditative, fearless and mischievous, Bright Wild Stone achieves the trinity its title promises”.
