Ocean of Self printed books

Your real self is deeper than you can possibly fathom. Infinite and glorious possibilities await you. 



For nearly four decades Mark Spencer has balanced his career as a dental surgeon with his other passions of ocean exploration and underwater photography. His photographs – sometimes of rarely seen shipwrecks hidden in the deep – have been featured in publications such as National Geographic and Australian Geographic. 

A scientist at heart, Mark has long held a curiosity about the deeper levels of conscious awareness he experiences in meditation and how these experiences appeared to correlate with his ocean diving. 

Part autobiography, part science, and part philosophy, Ocean of Self is the culmination of Mark’s decades-long research into these correlations. Mark explains why we all need to become deep-sea ‘divers’ in the one ocean of consciousness that is proposed to underlie modern physics. The implications are profound for our physical, mental and spiritual development and also promise surprisingly practical solutions for world peace and harmony. 

Ocean of Self was published as an ebook in early 2017. Having seen success in sales it is time  Ocean of Self was seen as a book on a shelf. It is time the unique underwater imagery and the messages of depth within Ocean of Self are given the attention they deserve.  

The goal: 

To bring to life, as a hardcover book with dust jacket, the unique photographic underwater imagery captured by Mark Spencer. 

To bring to life, via libraries and bookstores, the philosophical and spiritual messages within Ocean of Self. 

To offer all the opportunity to discover clarity, mental and physical development and peace and harmony in one's life. 

To meet the request by readers for a paper copy of Ocean of Self. 
 

What readers are saying about Ocean of Self : 

" Beautiful, unique and fabulous. This book is a must read for everyone. I loved it and would recommend it to everyone.  You emerge better for reading it." - Rubina Bashir. Netgalley review. March 2017. 

"There is peace underwater, away from the hustle and noise of everyday life. The experiences related are inspiring and in some places frightening, but always real. Diving gives you a different perspective of the world and what is important. Allows time for introspection and a sense of belonging to a much larger picture, and life. Extremely well done." - Margaret Holmes. Netgalley review. May 2017. 

“This book is literally mind-expanding. Mark is a brilliant writer and explains complex concepts in a digestible manner. This book is to be read slowly and thoughtfully. I didn’t agree with everything but it gave me much to contemplate. Challenge yourself with some new concepts and ideas.” - John. Amazon review.  January 2018. 

“A very unique read. Comparing spirituality to the ocean really made me rethink certain aspects of my life. I would definitely recommend it.” - Audi Nissen. Netgalley review. March 2018.
