Waking from sleep
Steve Taylor's new book 'Waking From Sleep: the Causes of
Awakening Experiences and How to make them Permanent' has just been
published by Hay House UK, and is now available on Amazon (and in
Waterstone's). It's had the following endorsements from Eckhart Tolle
and Ervin Lazslo:
'One of the best books on spiritual awakening I have read. An important
contribution to the global shift in consciousness which is happening on
our planet.' Eckhart Tolle.
'The most enlightening book about enlightenment I have ever read.'
Ervin Lazslo.
The book is available to order at

What do you mean by Transpersonal?
Let us begin by asking who it is that is reading these words
right now. Who are you? Are you your body, your thoughts, your
memories, your opinions? Are you all these things all the time, some of
these things some of the time? Are you merely the accumulated memory of
all you have ever sensed and experienced? As you read this do you begin
to suspect that there is perhaps something more mysterious at play?
Where does this feeling of being arise from?
Transpersonal literally means to look beyond the limited, self-imposed
personal sphere, with the ultimate aim of transforming or transcending
this small sense of ‘I'. It is often placed under the grand heading of
Spirituality, the Spiritual Dimension, Path and Experience. To this
extent the Transpersonal realm is concerned with Human potential and
wholeness.
Transpersonal Studies includes the study of all the world's great
Wisdom Traditions, Philosophy (Eastern and Western), Mythology,
Anthropology, Mysticism and Psychology.
Growing interest in the Transpersonal?
In recent years there has been an increasing amount of
interest in Transpersonal experience from the British Psychological
Society (which has a Transpersonal Section), and the Royal College of
Psychiatrists (which has a spirituality special interests group).
Previous courses have been run at Manchester University's Centre for
Continuing Education, to great acclaim. Due to their popularity it is
hoped that they may be offered at additional locations, open to the
general public
