Change by John Wood From Catalytic SeaatONS, Bypassing the intellect and communicating directly with the ‘subconscious’ mind through animistic imagery, Change is not so much a book as a talisman containing no written words. It invokes and evokes a bal- ance of black and white, male and female, left and right; a union of opposites. Change can be used for meditation over a moon cycle; according to its creator, it can be used to draw your complementary ‘other half’ to you - on many levels. It has been ac- claimed by Guboo Ted Thomas of the Wal- laga Lake Aboriginal community as the first book which communicates on deep. ‘dreamtime' levels accessible to Aboriginals and colonists alike. by G.M. Glaskin Available Harper & Row/Collins - $10.95 plores astral travel and re-discovering previ- ous incarnations. It gives fascinating ac- counts of peoples “journeys”, including the author’s own experiences. There are de- tailed ‘instructions on how to mentally “travel” without losing consciousness of the “now’. All you need are a couple of close friends and a quiet space and you can jour- ney into the realms of your mind, using the ~Christos Method’ of freeing the astral body. This reviewer has personally experi- enced this method and found that it really works - I didn’t expect to appear as a four- teen-year old male in the Fire of London! For those who are into the concept of past lives, this book is a fascinating and handy tool for those realms.
