| Farther Shores:
Exploring How Near Death, Kundalini and Mystical Experiences Can Transform
Ordinary Lives Yvonne Kason MD . iUniverse, 2008. www.farthershores.com
Researching spiritual experiences and their after-effects A guide to diverse types of spiritual experiences and long-term spiritual transformation of body, mind, and spirit. Written from a multi-faith and yogic perspective. This inspirational book describes the moving story of how a 1979 airplane crash transformed author Dr. Yvonne Kason’s life forever. Her profound near-death experience launched her on a quest as a medical doctor, to research spiritual experiences that can transform our everyday lives. The first US publication of this Canadian best-seller, Farther Shores is a synthesis of 25 years of Dr. Kason’s research, personal experiences and the experiences of the thousands of patients she has counseled. She has helped others understand and integrate their extraordinary states of consciousness and the long-term spiritual transformation that often follows. Written from a multi-faith perspective, the book draws deeply from yoga and Christian mystical traditions, along with modern medicine, psychiatry and psychology.
Topics include:
Filled with inspiring case stories, Farther Shores is a practical guide, offering insight and support. Kason offers sound advice and practical suggestions on how to use these extraordinary occurrences for spiritual deepening and personal growth, and discusses the importance of "psycho-spiritual housecleaning". Kason concludes that all types of spiritual experiences lead to the same conclusion, the same one truth: That we are all spiritual beings having a physical worldly experience; that we are all loved by a Higher Power, omnipresent loving force, or God; and that all true religions are leading us to this one same truth, albeit by slightly different paths. Yvonne Kason MD is a recognized international expert and Canada‘s foremost authority on near-death and other spiritual experiences. She has been on numerous television and radio shows across Canada and the US. Retired as a family physician and transpersonal psychotherapist in Toronto in 2006, she was as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto. She was also the co-founder of the Spirituality in Health-Care Network, a founder of the Kundalini Research Network, and founder of the Spiritual Emergence Research and Referral Clinic. Dr. Kason is a kriyaban and long-time member of SRF. |

| Little
Wave and Old Swell This is to inform all devotees of a just-publlished book entitled "Little Wave and Old Swell." It is a hardback gift edition, beautifully illustrated, of a spiritual fable based on tParamahansa Yogananda's frequently-used metaphor of human life as a wave on the Ocean of God. Among other themes, the story illustrates the guru-disciple relationship; dangers of competition, excitement, and negative friendships; meditation on the Om; the nature of delusion, and dealing with life's ending. There is much life learning involved in Little Wave's adventures. For busy people, Old Swell's wise counsel of "Don't hurry, don't stop" can be taken to heart. The story of how Little Wave faces death (going back into the Great Deep) has already proven to be of great help to children and families in bereavement. The book will be on display in the Bonaventure Hotel gift shop during
Convocation. I encourage you to visit www.littlewave.org

Cooking
With Swami Yogananda Email: cookingwithyogananda@gmail.com When Paramahansa Yogananda first issued his Yogoda lessons, each lesson contained a delicious and yummy recipe. The lessons also contained extensive information about vitamins, nutrition, food for healing, and about food and their pranic energy. These Yogoda lessons were later used to create the current SRF lessons, however all this material and recipes were not included in the new lessons. Paramahansaji opened two cafes: the Encinitas Cafe, and the Hollywood Temple cafe, called India Hall (mentioned in the Autobiography of a Yogi). These two cafes cooked delicious meals using the recipes which were in the Yogoda lessons. Eventually, the Encinitas Cafe and India Hall cafe were closed. The Self-Realization Fellowship still uses the recipes today in their ashrams. If you have gone on a pilgrimage to the Temples during Convocation, you know how delicious and yummy the food is that they serve. Many devotees wish they could have a copy of these recipes to use at home.This is exactly what you will find here. |
Atlantis Sinking It was the end of the world. It felt like the end of time." Atlantis Sinking is a fantasy love story set in the end days of Atlantis. The setting is partially based on the concepts of the Yugas which have been mentioned by both Sri Yukteswar and Tara Mata. There is a fun "Are you from Atlantis?" quiz page on the book website. In the more distant future, I plan to write a philosophical book about the ages of mankind (the Yugas). I hope to share more about what we can manifest NOW in this Bronze Age (Dwapara Yuga). |
