The Garden of the Mind is a compilation of public lectures examining the variety of approaches to the spiritualising of the whole person, and exploring the hidden aspects of life – in dreams, in the spiritual dimensions of biology, a study of life, death and eternity and the concept of transformation.

There are substantial references to ancient cultures and religions, and details of the workings of the natural world, with the chapters weaving together a common thread – the wonder of the Divine, the source of all creation.

The Continuum of Consciousness and other Essays is written as a sequenced course in spiritual development, where we are introduced to the principles of Work upon the self, and guided through their application in daily life as a path to transformation and the building of a spiritual body.

The material included here is drawn from the Fourth Way methodology of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, but also incorporates understanding of the mystical spirituality of Emanuel Swedenborg.

Spiritual Psychology is concerned with the arousal and development of the buried potentials of human life which are unknown to most people and but dimly suspected by a few. It is the application to ourselves of methods and disciplines that serve to establish the conditions in which a completely new kind of life may begin to appear. This new life is often referred to as rebirth or regeneration.

We cannot make it happen, because we have no power over the higher levels of the universe; but we can work upon ourselves and prepare the ground for the possible ingression of spiritual, celestial and Divine energies which are capable of reviving us. This book deals with details of a methodology which leads to self transformation.
