This lucid work challenges the pessimism of scientific materialism and endeavours to bridge the chasm which so frequently separates the scientific and religious interpretation of life. It is a balanced treatise in which Dr Leggett first considers the professed aims of higher education before focussing the reader's attention upon the evidence which suggests survival and reincarnation and which is provided by poetry, mysticism and the paranormal. With an extensive bibliography, this is an excellent book for those who are trying to formulate a personal philosophy.
From Madonna to Deepak Chopra, celebrities have been recording and embracing Rumi's poetry for the past two decades, creating a resurgence of interest in this 13th century Sufi mystic. Rumi's Little Book of Life is a beautiful collection of 196 poems by Rumi, previously unavailable in English. Translated by native Persian speakers, Maryam Mafi and Azima Melita Kolin, this collection will appeal to Rumi lovers everywhere. This collection of mystical poetry focuses on one of life's core issues: coming to grips with the inner life. During the course of life, each of us is engaged on an inner journey. Rumi's Little Book of Life is a guidebook for that journey.
