A true friend is a soul friend or &#8220;anam cara&#8221;; &lt;em&gt;anam&lt;/em&gt; is the Gaelic word for soul and &lt;em&gt;cara&lt;/em&gt; means friend. The Celtic world believes that a soul friend is the awakening power to the soul within us. &lt;em&gt;The Garden&lt;/em&gt; is a story of this love and friendship. It is the journey of a Dreame &#8230; an everyman, facing the existential journey of his evolving consciousness but at the same time observing humanity from the outside.&lt;em&gt; The Garden&lt;/em&gt; is a blend of fantasy, lyrical description, dialogue, poetry and dazzling illustrations, helping you awaken to your inner awareness&#8211;our own Anam Cara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peliguin.com/spiritual_life_meaning_purpose.html" title="Voyager: An Adventure in Higher Consciousness" target="_blank"&gt;Voyager: A Definitive Map to Higher Consciousness&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Voyager&lt;/em&gt; is a spiritual handbook that teaches all the necessary skills for charting new frontiers of human thought. This is a definitive spiritual book on How Live a Spiritual Life in the 21st Century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;With an impressive &#8220;star-studded&#8221; cast, &lt;em&gt;Voyager&lt;/em&gt; is a practical book that boldly explores new worlds of higher consciousness. A deeply thought-provoking spiritual journey with many insights into the soul. Using an artistic blend of sepia and colour, the reader is taken on an exciting spiritual voyage that dares to cross the meridian between two worlds of thought. These luxuriantly multi-layered illustrations contain deeper and often elusive messages that encourage the phenomena of an awakening mind and higher consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Freely available for download are: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peliguin.com/the-garden_gaia.pdf" title="The Garden" target="_blank"&gt;The Garden Sneak Preview!&lt;/a&gt; 1.24mb&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.peliguin.com/voyager-gaia.pdf" title="Voyager" target="_blank"&gt;Voyager First Chapter&lt;/a&gt; Journey to the Centre of the Earth 2.58mb&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More information and book previews available at &lt;a href="http://www.peliguin.com/" title="Peliguin Publications" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.peliguin.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;STEP INTO THE SPOTLIGHT!&lt;/span&gt; If you&amp;#39;d like to be considered for an MFA FREE Art Spotlight, or wish to nominate one of our peers, just let me know (&lt;strong&gt;in a private letter to my Gaia email&lt;/strong&gt;).
