New - The Call of Silence - Reflections on the Tao-Teh-King
These reflections on the Tao-Teh-King illuminate the universal truth that is at the heart of all true teachings. Abdullah hoped that by giving some insight into this Taoist work, readers would be able to take the ideas further and reach a deeper understanding within themselves. ‘For mankind to have been given such a jewel as this Taoist teaching is a rare occurrence. If a person could really understand what the Tao-Teh-King is about he would give up everything else.’
New - The Paintings of Abdullah Dougan
After writing his first book, in 1970 Abdullah turned to painting to help teach his own and others’ ideas and to show objectively man and his place in the universe.Abdullah believed the most important factor in art to be the content, the message, which is contained in the form. Objective art must have a definite system and his was based primarily on his scale of colour and use of the spiral - one of the basic forms used in our galaxy. The 168 full colour images, presented with notes on the concepts portrayed, span the seventeen years Abdullah painted.
