The Love Path

The Love Path presents a radical, new, and exciting theory about the evolution of human love consciousness.  The author postulates that The Love Path is one of four developmental routes that can assist us to become who we want to be.  The other routes are The Truth Path, The Peace Path, and The Warrior Path. While we can change direction at any time and experiment with different modes of being, those who choose to focus on the developmental tasks of The Love Path right to its completion become Masters of Love.  

The first part of the book outlines key concepts which form the building blocks to the author’s theory, and explains why modern love relationships have become increasingly complex.  

The second part of the book is a step-by-step practical overview of how love consciousness can grow through four maturational stages of human experience: 

1. Sensuality, 2. Sexuality, 3. Advanced Intimacy, and 4. Compassion.

Individually, The Love Path offers followers happiness and inner peace.  Collectively, The Love Path is a guide for those wishing to create Eden on Earth.  The choice is ours.

The Ignorance of Racism

Why are some people, organisations, and institutions racist and discriminatory? And why do they continue to repeat their racist acts over and over?

It is because ignorance has been promoted to a level where it is used as a justifiable mindset to perpetrate shameful and ignominious behaviour.

This book is written for everyone to use to inspire others or be inspired to stop racism.

The Flight of the Gaels

The people of Scotland and Northern Ireland voted in the 2016 referendum to remain in the European Union. It is generally assumed that, whilst the public in these two jurisdictions might not be happy with the Brexit outcome, they will get used to it and adapt to a life as former Europeans.

The Flight of the Gaels demonstrates that there could be a set of circumstances in which this assumption is proved to be wide of the mark. The story begins in the UK and Irish Permanent Representations in Brussels and winds its way via a political research project at Ulster University and political lobbying in the United States and Europe to the establishment of a new political grouping in Scotland and Ireland. A constitutional earthquake follows, with the potential to transform the politics of the British Isles.

When this potential is realised, the political landscape that emerges is one that few could have predicted when the Brexit saga began in 2016.

The Benign Aristocrats

The years 1951 to 1964 were years of undeniable prosperity and progress. They were the years in which Conservative Governments decided not to dismantle Labour’s National Health Service and Welfare State, and for this they must be given a certain amount of credit. The four prime ministers concerned were all from an aristocratic background, but they had learned very quickly that times had changed and that they had to change with them. The result was that these years (and the periods of Labour rule before and after) saw possibly the best governance that Britain has ever experienced. This book, written from an uncompromising Socialist and working-class background, gives a great deal of credit to “the benign aristocrats”, but does not minimise their failures, in particular the Suez affair of 1956.

The Apathetic Country

Why are so many people uninterested in politics in Australia, yet the same people decide who governs us? The Apathetic Country is the first book to focus on the power of politically apathetic voters. The authors show how uninterested citizens, forced to the ballot box in Australia, vote in arbitrary ways, with clear and dramatic effects on political outcomes.Ironically, the voters least interested in politics are those the politicians are most interested in. Political parties understand their impact and focus on manipulating and lying to attract their attention. This is why we have to endure Mediscare, claims that cows will cost as much as houses due to the carbon tax, and the shenanigans of One Nation. It is why Labor lost in 2019, and why Scott Morrison campaigned for the “quiet Australian” vote by shearing sheep and having a beer with guys with mullets. It resonated better with the voters who decide elections.Based on 15 years of research, The Apathetic Country explains the reasons for the lack of interest and knowledge of apathetic voters and proposes a radical solution. With the effects of political ignorance felt worldwide, this book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of Australian politics and democracy.

Strangled

We’re taught from a young age to ‘think before we speak’. But has anyone ever dissected what this truly means?

It’s a scary thing, is it not? The idea that our most common version of communication has swept our world for countless generations, building relationships but also destroying them. We’re eagerly taught from a young age to use our words and build our own narrative but how often is this actually possible? What do you think will come first – our words being voiced or our words being silenced?

The following words are nothing special, but that’s the thing. They don’t have to be. They’re mine!

Social Capitalism

Is Capitalism doomed; how long is its shelf-life? Can its promise of prosperity and the ‘good life’ be sustained? Have stories of its impending demise been exaggerated? If some soothsayers are to be believed it has been on a downward slippery slope at least since the financial crash over a decade ago, so that its days may well be numbered. This work analyses the place of the free market economy in modern society, distinguishes between neo-liberalism and traditional capitalism, and comes to quite different conclusions – as much for reasons of perception as for socio-economic realpolitik. But in the process some important conceptual myths need to be demolished: about the misunderstood role of the individual in modern society, about the absurdity of focusing on economic growth, about the unsustainability of current social inequalities and how they can be overcome, about the mirage of social mobility and the future of work. These issues can only be appreciated in their historical context – currently a yawning gap in any discussion of our current predicament. Suggestions are put forward as to how a reformed, ‘social’ capitalism would better serve the interests of the economy, the community and the individual – in a world where we must learn to consume less, travel less, and yes, work less – with the ultimate goal of greater dignity and justice for all.

Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman - A Scottish Life and UK Politics 1836-1908

Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman’s brief tenure as British Prime Minister between 1905 and 1908 represents an important transition in the history both of the country and of the Liberal Party, where he might be said to have bridged the gap between the party of Gladstone and that of Asquith and Lloyd George. As Liberal Leader from 1899 to 1908, he was widely credited with the restoration of the fortunes of his party, and his time in office includes one of the greatest landslide victories in British politics, when the Liberals won almost 400 seats in the election of 1906. 

Sir Henry’s distinguished political career included nearly forty years as the MP for the Scottish seat Stirling Burghs, Chief Secretary for Ireland, Secretary of State for War and, uniquely, ‘Father of the House’ (as the longest-serving MP in the House of Commons) at the same time that he was Prime Minister. 

This is the first major biography of Sir Henry for forty years. It is also the first to be written by a Scot since 1914; indeed, it has been written about one former pupil of the High School of Glasgow by another. 

‘Truly this is an intensively scholarly work which will do much to elevate Campbell-Bannerman’s reputation.’ – from the Foreword by David Steel (Lord Steel of Aikwood), Liberal Party leader, 1976-1988

Political Thought

Resting on a set of Great Concepts that have emerged from the Great Conversation, the development of political thought has literally determined the course of history and affected every dimension of human existence. The limitations of our modern languages complicate any perception and understanding of these Great Concepts, which emerged in languages of other societies with values much different from our own. Many of the words of modern political discourse—rights, democracy, justice, law, freedom—did not exist in ancient cultures that had no conceptions of their meanings. Other words—government, rule, obligation, obedience, and others—carried meanings for the Great Thinkers that modern thinkers would not recognize. While this inconsistency permeates all historical thinking, it is particularly true of political thought. Nationality, citizenship, nationalism, and patriotism are new words devised by modern Great Thinkers to describe new notions. Nation, people, country, community are old words, whose meanings have become unstable and therefore explosive.

William H. Mott IV’s in-depth analysis in Political Thought spans hundreds of years of political philosophy and belies a deep interest and knowledge of politics.

Philosophy in History: How Ideas Have Shaped Our World

What kind of forces have shaped our modern world? Have they been political, economic, scientific, or perhaps even theological? The answer is that all of these forces have been at work, but they have all been the product of ideas, as our views on all of these topics have changed over time. Can ideas be more powerful than armies? Surprisingly, the answer is ‘yes’. History teaches us that nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come. Throughout history, rulers, generals and in our own day even stockbrokers and plutocrats have always imagined themselves to be in charge, with that last group even describing themselves as ‘masters of the universe’. In reality, however, all of these individuals have themselves been the products of ideas, owing their positions entirely to existing trends of thought. How this has come about and how it has delivered for us our present-day world are the themes explained in this book.
