One Shining Day

‘Wow,’ said Toby. ‘Did all that really happen?’ While on a camping trip, Toby and Stella get lost in the bush, bump into a wallaby and find themselves in the mystical village of Spudley Vale, where they are welcomed by the tiny potato folk. They meet Shepody the Windwalker who takes them to Rockring for the Shining Ceremony. This is the beginning of an exciting adventure, as the children learn to bridge the gap between the two worlds and, in doing so, fulfil an ancient prophecy.

‘One Shining Day’ is the first of a collection of stories revolving around the mystical village of Spudley Vale.

ANSOROCA is a combination of Anna, Sondra, Rose and Carol. The authors Anna Dorling, Sondra Cracknell, Rose Klein and illustrator Carol Fairhurst who have been friends for many years, live on the New South Wales South Coast. They come from varied backgrounds but all have a strong interest in the arts and support community activities through their hobbies of music and various forms of dance. As mothers and grandmothers, they are very family oriented and have a keen interest in promoting strong personal, environmental and spiritual values for young people.

In the Purple Elephant Tales series, the authors’ vivid imaginations have created a delightful and ephemeral community with its own history, culture and values.

Carol is an accomplished artist and brings the whimsical characters to life in her colourful illustrations.

The Magic Alchemy – Forgiveness
by Anthony Emmett

Alchemy was the ancient practice of seeking by chemical means to change base metals of little value into gold, the most precious of metals on Earth. Sir Issac Newton, the distinguised British physicist, mathematician, astronomer and natural philosopher, was also an alchemist.

Alchemy is both a philosophical and spiritual discipline wherein one attempts to transform that which is base into that which is of the highest purity. What is the highest purity? That purity is purity of thought, word and action or deeds.

Here, Dr Anthony Emmett, a retired reconstructive surgeon from the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, ponders and explores the greatest of all alchemical transformations within the human person: that of Forgiveness.

This book is filled with simple, one page reflections in decorated and bordered text, reflections on the alchemy of Forgivness.

The secret alchemy of
Converting the dross metal
Of hatred and bitterness
To golden joy of love
Comes with embracing
Forgiveness within.
Of findign infinite life
In our consciousness
In the many levels of knowong
We can access with
Giving some insight to
The wider life of love
Through this lovely earth
To wider dimensions beyond
As we learn the lessons
We came here for.

Love is the Way
by Anthony Emmett

We are all beings of very Love itself. Our bodies, our thoughts, all our actions manifest love in one form or another. Everything else that is not love, is a self-deception.

Love, in its many forms is the basis of our lives. This book is about self-realisation through love. It is also about healing ourselves and the world, in these troubled times.

Here, Dr Anthony Emmett, a retired reconstructive surgeon from the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, writes and delineates the simple spirit of love within which gives the strength and courage to deal with this life, this place, these circumstances that we find ourselves in.

This small, pocket-sized book is filled with simple, gentle, flowing reflections on love. An excellent little tome to keep in the shirt pocket or the purse, to take out for reflective reading from time to time.

The Hidden Mystery
by Dr Anthony Emmett

This book is intended to be a practical guide for those engaged on the exploration of the spirit within. It is only a beginning, and in the list of further reading are the books that have helped us on this journey of exploration. Seeking the God within requires application and self-discipline but is fully rewarded. As Sai Baba says, he is showing the way to find God in this age, whether you wish to do this within yourself or whether you do so through whatever religion you were raised with, is your choice.”

This is the account of a young man from Ayr, Queensland, who followed his father into medical practice and qualified in the UK as a reconstructive surgeon (sometimes called a ‘Plastic Surgeon’). The author reflects that he has had spiritual guidance in unrelated compartments of his life, from a young man making boats, the practice of surgery, and after his surgery was discontinued, as an artist working with sculpture.

The reconstructive surgeon took one year off during 1986 from his practice and visited many ancient sites and spiritual places. He attended various psychic readers and learned of the spiritual realm, culminating in a visit to Sai Baba.

There is a diverse introduction to the spiritual life, commencing with reincarnation, the general karmic theory, divinity, inspiration, life after death, and the purpose of human incarnation. There is good integration between the author’s medical and surgical background and the broadminded introduction to spirituality.
