Breaking the Taboo - Why we need to talk about birth trauma

Theo Clarke

Sinopse

In an emotional debate in the House of Commons in October 2023, then MP Theo Clarke broke down in tears as she described being rushed into emergency surgery after the birth of her daughter, terrified she was going to die. Amazed at the public response, she quickly realised that although birth trauma is a huge issue, there is still a real taboo around speaking about it. In the UK alone, it's estimated that up to 30,000 women a year suffer bad experiences during the delivery of their babies, with one in twenty developing post-traumatic stress disorder as a result. Despite this, substandard maternity and postnatal care is too often tolerated as normal.
In Breaking the Taboo, as well as telling her own story, Theo presents the experiences of mothers and fathers from different backgrounds that show the undiscussed realities of birth trauma. She also shines a light on what it is like to combine motherhood with a career as an MP, revealing the shocking way new mothers are treated by our political system – something that has serious implications for our democracy.
A gripping memoir of a new mother's experience combined with a powerful call to arms for change, this urgent book will start a conversation that is as essential as it is overdue.

Departure of the Perfected One -...

Hermann Beckh

Presenting vivid pictures of Gautama Buddha's life, teaching, suffering, death and subsequent nirvāṇa, the Mahāparinibbānasutta is one of the principal Buddhist texts. In Hermann Beckh's words, it describes '…one of the greatest human beings that ever lived, who stood at the threshold of the super-human – a teacher and leader of humanity.'
Prof. Beckh's translation of this important sutta achieved a quality and faithfulness that was based on decades of extensive study and meditation. From his academic and spiritual knowledge, Beckh added insightful editorial material, including an introduction, commentary and notes. The English rendering here, by Indologist and long-standing Buddhist practitioner Dr Katrin Binder, is based on both the original Pālī and Beckh's German translation. An afterword by Thomas Meyer, informed by Rudolf Steiner's research, traces the development of Buddha's individuality in the afterlife.
Departure of the Perfected One brings to a conclusion the publication of Beckh's great triad of works on the subject of Buddha, including Buddha's Life and Teaching and From Buddha to Christ. Through a contemporary reading, these books open up vast new perspectives on the world of sacred Buddhist scriptures to anyone interested in spiritual development.

Collective Consciousness - How...

Dan Desmarques

The term cosmic consciousness, or collective consciousness, although widely studied in psychology, and explained by many in the field of spirituality, has never been fully understood and properly clarified at a higher level than the one made possible commonly on Earth. And the reason why, is that these terms are often misinterpreted on a wider scale, for how could we use words such as “cosmic” or “collective” without understanding first awareness from that other standpoint, much wider and more evolved than ours? And how can many claim to understand spirituality without understanding it first from the perspective of higher realms, which transcend our own?Many of such individuals who have attempted that, as I came to know, don’t even believe in life on other planets, or have a completely distorted view on how the beings of other galaxies manifest their own consciousness, therefore showing a version of truth which actually manifests their own ideologies. And it is then without a surprise that humanity remains as lost as always, in what regards finding its right path or discarding the wrong ones.For this reason, in this book a clear and linear perspective is shown to you, describing the exact values and mental states that must be acquired by one who wishes to self-evaluate himself on the path towards ascension, for they are interrelated with the same consciousness manifested in realities where the habitants of such worlds are far more evolved than those of Earth.The perspective presented here, although spiritual, is based on the realities presented in many other universes, and therefore explicit in showing you how to find the truth within, that will guide you towards a higher evolutionary state, with accuracy, precision, and much faster than what any other method from any other school of knowledge can offer you.
