Karma in Human Life: As received through spirit guides
by Dr Bob WoodwardWhilst the concept of karma is derived from ancient Eastern religious tradition, the word is very much part of contemporary vocabulary. We speak of karma in the sense of individuals getting ‘what they deserve’ – usually in a negative sense. But is karma a retributive law or is it based on healing and love?In his latest thought-provoking work, Dr Bob Woodward investigates such issues in conversation with his spirit guides. Beginning with the most basic question, ‘What is karma?’, they discuss how this law of destiny relates to illness, human freedom, relationships and individual development – but also to major crises on the world stage, such as the coronavirus pandemic, wars and conflict, global warming and climate change. They also examine how such key matters might relate to ‘world karma’ rather than personal destiny.Bob’s spiritual guides speak of the law of karma as being, ‘…filled with compassion. It is not a law which makes people or beings subservient to some almighty and dictatorial power. It is a law which is generated by love itself, and is there to bring order, recompense and compassion to all beings and their mutual relationships.’ Karma in Human Life offers answers to many puzzles and enigmas relating to modern-day life on earth.

People, Pens and Paper: Fresh Ideas for Schools to Teach the Creative Process
by James WrenPeople, Pens & Paper is about creative and fresh ideas. It's not a creative rule book, but a suggestive guide of techniques and projects to make the creative process more fluid and more enjoyable for students. Often, it's our setting and mindset that determines creative output, so in order to be truly effective we need to set the scene, and that also includes within ourselves. At this initial stage of the process all we need are paper, pens and people - we keep it organic and focus on generating solutions without any interference. With the projects featured, there's a focus on seeking out solutions for our planet rather than profit and commercialism. These ideas are recorded in a simple sketch book. This book can then help form a 'portfolio' of concepts for each student, so not only do the ideas look to help our world, they also show initiative and entrepreneurial flair, useful for life beyond school. From a marketing campaign for a local charity through to looking at ways to solve traffic issues at a school, teachers will be able to use innovative projects to inspire and also foster habitual ways to conceptualise, be it written or doodled.Readers will find no rules or quick-fixes.People, Pens & Paper is all about the process.
