A TOTALLY absorbing work of fiction!

At 99 CENTS TODAY ON AMAZON, I simply couldn’t resist! Life and genuine love for family & friends, with the late, great comedian John Candy.

Wow. When it appeared in 1966, Joyce Carol Oates praised it to the skies, comparing it to Faulkner and Camus. It’s about a loner who embarks on a quest to find happiness and his true self - $1.99 TODAY ON AMAZON!

I first read this book when I was 12, in the school library. I’m going to browse through it again now to see if it evokes forgotten memories...!

My wonderful friend Elyse literally praised this one to the stars - and she’s usually right on the money! So why is this highly-rated psychological sci-fi masterpiece selling for $1.99 TODAY ON AMAZON? Maybe because it HITS YOU WHERE YOU LIVE!
Don’t be afraid of Deep Feelings. GET IT...

Just HAD to get this! And who can argue with today’s Amazon price of $1.99?!?

Thomas More was written by Chambers - a good friend of Tolkien - in the early twentieth century. You can buy this award-winning bio on Kindle for little more than a dollar! Incredible.

This guy was so amazing. I’m just at the part where he proposes to his forever soulmate, Eleanor. Lou was so flustered and tongue-tied in his extreme shyness she had to complete every other sentence for him...

The audiobook is excellent!

I first DNF’d this Byronic page-turner of a novel - rife with the political and religious intrigue of the Scottish Age of Bonnie Prince Charlie - while stuck in the Horse Latitudes of retirement burnout. So it brought no joy, only the quaint interest of a pastime. But now that I’m rereading and LOVING it, expect a much higher rating!

What a wonderful book! And Father Bodo’s writing is so warm and engaging - and he weaves such fairy tale splendour into this unforgotten life - even though it was lived nearly 1,000 years ago! See my Kindle notes for its opening pages...

Finally got this stunning book. Not going to argue with Amazon - at the going price of $1..99, TODAY ONLY!

When Lerita Coleman Brown, a 40-ish psychologist, discovered she had months to live without a heart transplant, she started this series of wise ‘n wonderful conversations with her Old Heart - and, after surgery, with her New One! $0.99 TODAY ON AMAZON!!!

KEY insight at the end of Chapter Two: to re-enter our infantile “state of Oneness with our world” - to “merge and then re-emerge” may be the successful therapy of the Future...

In other words, as the ancient Zen Master said, if you finally DO meet the Buddha along the road, KILL him!

This marvellous fantasy - so scandalously ignored by us English readers - on the subject of the hugely influential composer Gustav Mahler’s single day of therapy with the acutely insightful Doctor Sigmund Freud at the end of Mahler’s life is a Steal on Kindle!

The insidious invasion of ineluctable evil into unsuspecting Canadians’ headspace in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Not to be missed - IF you can find it!

This book of metaphysics had a HUGE impact in the 1890’s... Before WWI, T.S. Eliot did his doctoral thesis on it at Harvard!

WoW - the entire Earthseed Set is going for $2.99 today! Search Amazon under From Seed to Harvest on Kindle.

The modern brain researchers Lewis, Amini and Lannon say... “From birth to death, love is not just the focus of human experience, but also the life force of the mind, determining our moods, stabilizing our body rhythms, and changing the structures of our brains... love makes us who we are.”

Dr Jung reported that he worked for several decades with disturbed and unhappy women. Often those years were frustrating for him, until he realized that he was working on the wound to the archetypal feminine principle, that is now wounded by ages of rationalism, science and technology.

I’ve wanted to read Jabes for a long time now. You know, Jung once said the event in our lives that we can learn the Most from is our own worst mistake - if that mistake is strengthened and persevered in. Dark words. And so, like Jabes, I entered adulthood by the WRONG DOOR...

Good ole Phil! He always sets us back on the right track, out there in the bright sunshine - where we oughta be.

I know that the first generation Jungian analyst Erich Neumann is right when he says that it is the building up (providing a firm foundation for) and holding the tensions (inherent in our dualistic world) that arouses (true) creative potential in our deepest being.
- SO WISELY SAID!

White’s opening inscription to Vol. II of this Sword ‘n Sorcery Epic:
“When shall I be dead and rid
Of the wrong my father did?
How long, how long, till spade and hearse
Put to sleep my mother’s curse?”
(My Dad attended a school where White taught in the 1930’s! Wow...)

In his 40’s, this psychotherapist experienced a crisis: ‘(In my Dream) I saw a small boy... Shocked, I realized he was a five year old version of myself... he quietly said, “What have you done with my life?” That boy was asking the question life asks of us all: “What MEANING am I creating with my life?”’

There is no division here, but only the final and full Peace that Jesus came to bring. Now there is no time to take sides, but only the recognition of an Abyss so great and so beautiful that we can only admit that we are all in free fall.
- Richard Rohr, from the introduction.

The faceless government wraiths who have nabbed a US agent provocateur, now in an underground lab for cerebral experimentation, wonder... whatever became of the reality of their own lives in the nameless, uniform suburbs they call home? Can they even hope someday to GET A LIFE? Dark humour indeed!

Flowing, big-
celled sleepingden.
Each
partition travelled
by greysquadrons.
The letters are breaking formation -
The last dreamproof skiffs.

“The characteristic of love,” St. Thérèse wrote, “is that it stoops down - it must stoop down even to nothingness, and transform that nothingness into fire.”
