The Ultimate Journey: Consciousness and the Mystery of Death
AU$35.00 Read MoreAdd to cartStanislav Grof
Santa Cruz: Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, 2010.“Invaluable insights from more than half a century of research and personal discovery into the experience of death and dying. Beyond personal history and archetypal themes, a comprehensive psychology must also address the fundamental significance of birth and death. Stanislav Grof, MD, distills teachings from ancient wisdom and modern science that suggest how to face the process of death and dying. The ultimate journey challenges us all, and how we approach it is much more than major personal issue. Those who come to terms with death in deep experiential self-exploration tend to develop a sense of planetary citizenship, reverence for life in all its forms, and spirituality of a universal and all-encompassing nature. Such radial inner transformation might be humanity’s only real chance for survival. The Ultimate Journey describes ancient and aboriginal ritual and spiritual practices that help us understand the experience of death, develop effective ways of making dying easier, and integrate it as a meaningful part of life. The book also summarizes modern studies that shed new light on a variety of phenomena related to death and dying, including psycho-spiritual death and rebirth, near-death experiences, and the new expanded cartography y of the psyche that has emerged from GrofĂs fifty years of research of psychedelic therapy, Holotropic Breathwork, and spontaneous psychospiritual crises.” (publisher’s blurb)

Next Generation Independent Book Awards Finalist, Birth of a Psychedelic Culture explores these experiments and their cultural milieu through never before seen photographs, personal accounts of authors Ralph Metzner and Ram Dass, and conversations with luminaries such as Aldous Huxley, Charles Mingus, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and others that appeared on the scene.” (publisher’s blurb)

The Australind Journals of Marshall Waller Clifton, 1840-1861
AU$110.00 Read MoreAdd to cartPhyllis Barnes; J. M. R. Cameron; H. A. Willis; Marshall Waller Clifton
Perth: Hesperian Press, 2010.“Marshall Waller Clifton, Fellow of the Royal Society and Royal Geographical Society, and former Secretary of the Royal NavyÂ’s Victualling Board, was Chief Commissioner for the small agricultural colony of Australind. This settlement, on Leschenault Inlet on AustraliaÂ’s south-western coast, was formed in 1840 by a group of systematic coloniser supporters of Edward Gibbon Wakefield. To keep them informed of his activities, Clifton maintained a detailed daily account that he commenced on 1 December 1840, the day he left England. Unlike its sister colonies in South Australia and New Zealand, the Wakefield-inspired venture in Western Australia did not succeed. Australind failed within three years. Clifton, although freed from having to report to London-based shareholders, maintained his practice of daily journal writing and did so until six days before his death on 10 April 1. The result is a vivid and detailed portrait of life in a small and remote agricultural settlement on the edge of the British Empire. Clifton is an intelligent and insightful, if somewhat haughty, observer of people, events and places. His observations and reflections will appeal to a wide audience because he was heavily involved in colonial life through the activities of his large family and as local magistrate, Legislative Councillor and leading land-holder and horticulturalist. His garden at Australind was much admired, he was a pioneer of Western AustraliaÂ’s wine industry, one of the first to export local produce through the port of Bunbury, and a major employer of convict labour. CliftonÂ’s Australind Journals are published here for the first time, annotated and comprehensively indexed to make them more accessible and useful for modern readers.” (publisher’s blurb)

our face
AU$200.00 Read MoreAdd to cartKen Kitano
Beijing: Three Shadows Photography Art Centre, 2010.Exhibition catalogue for Japanese photographer Ken Kitano’s our face project at Three Shadows Photography Art Centre which opened 3 July, 2010. “At first glance these our face works might look like single individuals, but each is a composite image of a group layered into one. The production process is long and involved – and completely analog – burning negatives one by one onto silver halide printing paper at ultra-low exposures, over and over again. The Three Shadows Photography Art Centre on the outskirts of Beijing places great value on large-format silve rhalide photgraphs and is one of the very few facilities in the world equipped to handle production. In April 2009, Centre Directors RongRong and inri graciously informed me of their willingness to help me with the project, so from May 2010 I began a three-month residency to produce this our face series.” (from introduction) This copy signed by Kitano in silver marker and with a small drawing by the photographer.
