This dialogue between Simon Macnab and Jean-Marc Mantel, is an inquiry into the profound nature of the Self, free from cultural or religious distortion. Based upon many years of spiritual research and life experience, their conversation explores the major questions of existence from a fresh and original perspective, allowing the beauty of language and the depth of silence to emerge. The themes addressed integrate ancient wisdom with modern life, weaving together the challenges of ordinary living with the extraordinariness of Consciousness, the personal involvement of the 'I' with the serene detachment of the Self. Thus is revealed how, in every moment, we are invited to awaken to the radiant splendour hidden behind the world of form. A French version of this book is also available.
This collection is born from a number of life experiences. Deeply personal these poems cover many of the important themes of life; Love and death, loneliness and connection, earthiness and transcendence. All with a sprinkling of humour.
In the last 50 years, the United Kingdom has witnessed a growing proportion of mixed African-Caribbean and white British families. With rich new primary evidence of "mixed-race" in the capital city, The Creolisation of London Kinship thoughtfully explores this population. Making an indelible contribution to both kinship research and wider social debates, the book emphasises a long-term evolution of family relationships across generations. Individuals are followed through changing social and historical contexts, seeking to understand in how far many of these transformations may be interpreted as creolisation. Examined, too, are strategies and innovations in relationship construction, the social constraints put upon them, the special significance of women and children in kinship work and the importance of non-biological as well as biological notions of family relatedness. -- P.
