The story of consciousness describes the mystery we are; where we come from before birth and where we go after death; and the thinking both in our body mind and subconscious and beyond it. It is the dimensions of rational awareness of mind and heart we use for our ego and creative life on earth, and in other dimensions around us. Imagine that you have an all-pervading higher intelligence within in your many layered consciousness. How we employ it for this dynamic life with love, and the ways it works, make you the self you are. Consciousness is an energy which comes into the brain of the embryo to activate the mind for this life; it functions at many levels. The level we call the heart is an influence emotionally with love and loving. Consciousness radiates, and the way it relates in us and beyond is the story of our lives. We can use this to great effect with certain techniques. We are alive in several levels of consciousness.

There are many aspects to healing—healing the body, healing the mind and the influence of your soul spirit. We can achieve good health with modern medicine and nutrition, surgery and public health measures, but what you keep in your mind will be decisive, for you can broadcast good health to all the living cells in your body. Healing is multidimensional and involves our different levels of human body and eternal soul spirit, resident in the unconscious levels of your mind. Healing the world too has become vital and this involves our thoughts. In studying healing, we see who we are and what we are doing here in this life. We see healing of body mind with many techniques, medical, surgical, and healing of spirit through life. The spiritual healing processes involve planes of spirit within our levels of mind—conscious and unconscious. In the unconscious-mind we find our relationship to the Divine, the power of the universe, All That Is, called God. Belief is important. The combination of medicine, science and spiritual philosophy with mysteries held in trust by religions through time. In our overpopulated world the planet needs healing both by enhancing its regeneration and by refreshing it’s Spirit.

Thirteen-year-old Colter’s summer vacation takes a twist when he finds himself on a broiling city sidewalk, on the hottest day of the year. The young man finds hope in an ad in the back of a comic book. It promises to send a special rock, for free, that he can plant in his backyard. The comic claims that rock will grow into a massive mountain almost no one else can see with rushing streams, towering evergreen forests, and lofty granite peaks covered with snow. Colter thinks it sounds like a scam but curiosity makes him send for it anyway. Imagine his surprise when everything the ad promised comes true! Time stands still in the ordinary world while he explores his own majestic wilderness. There he meets a mountain man named Bridger, who explains the ways of the wild. He warns Colter of the many dangers that lie ahead. He must seek the help of skilled climbers from a local mountaineering lodge, including a girl his age named Chrysanthemum. Will they be able to overcome the challenges of convincing parents that can’t see the mountain?

Meet Turk, a frustrated claims adjuster who feels like a work monkey spinning his wheels for an insurance company. He desires to throw a monkey wrench in the works and develops a plan to free him from his boring life and make him rich. It might be one of the best fiction novels off the beaten path that looks at the American debt economy in what Kirkus Reviews called “an often-funny satire of the excesses of the free market ethos.” If successful, his plan will liberate a vast majority of human beings from the drudgery and monotony of their own monkey work or what the commoner might refer to as a job. Turk envisions the Primo-Primate Project to create a real work monkey from trained chimpanzees who operate digital sales registers. Suppose you’re looking for a fiction book with philosophical themes that explores the line between madness and spiritual revelation. In that case, you’ll enjoy the tension the author creates in this contemporary satirical novel as the lead character examines his loneliness and isolation amidst others’ perceptions of him. Enjoy the humor as Turk works to free humanity from the mundane and dull and replace it with monkey work that makes money and quite a few laughs too. The acclaimed Kirkus Reviews also said (In the Belly of the Bell-Shaped Curve,) “Carter doesn’t just offer readers a hapless Everyperson in these pages; he gives Turk dimension by making him a self-help disciple with delusions of grandeur.”
On a beautiful June day, the famous performance artist Magnifica is set to jump from a helicopter and parachute down through the Red Rock Pinnacle monuments of Sedona, Arizona.

She may be heir to a fortune gathered up by her ailing mother, the once-famous artist Sophia Saville. In search for answers, Peale moves through the LA art scene, the tech world of San Francisco, the gamers conventions in Las Vegas, the underworld of art betting and Russian organized crime, and finally to the famed counter-cultural festival in the desert of Nevada, the Oracle of Fire—where Magnifica has audacious plans to crash the party. As the dust settles in a Chicago courtroom, all the motives in this art world menagerie are revealed—especially, who blew up Devil’s Finger?

RELIGION

Rediscover your spirituality from our diverse and extensive Religion shelf.

"A persistent dumbing down of religious faith and the perception that science is the only path to truth are key reasons the Nones, those with no religious affiliation, represent nearly fifty percent of all young adults in America today. God and science are falsely portrayed as conflicted and innately incompatible. Afraid to offend this new status quo, and unable to defend religious beliefs against increasingly aggressive intellectual bullying, the young have flocked to the safety of no belief. In Defensible Faith, author Robert Ryan demonstrates that God and science are both true and are both necessary in understanding ourselves and the world around us. He looks at how science provides many compelling arguments for belief in God as well as the more philosophical justifications for faith and the evidential basis supporting Christianity. If you have ever struggled to defend your faith in an intellectually well-reasoned manner, then let this book be your guide."
"For the longest time people have been waiting for a Messiah to show up. This is the story about how religion had started thousands of years ago before Jesus Christ's time by historical research. It is a same ole story about the same ole pattern of how a child name Isis and translating that name to English is Mary comes along, gives birth when she is a child and how famous prophets prediced the coming of the Son-of-God from the time of Egypt and how both stories of Jesus Christ and Horus are so much the same. The story does not stop there and only just gets started as World War Two broke out and in the midst of six and a half million Jews being sent to the death camps, a baby girl is born named Mary. She will give birth to a baby boy when she is a child. She will have a gandson that had the government claiming during this pregnancy and the time of his birth that this baby matched the Nostradamus preditions. For the first time it is tell all story about abuses that he had endured, how governments went out of their way to keep him a secret and how many people made millions off of his intellectual property and ideas while no one would protect him from having a decent living and went out of their way to keep it all a secret. For the first time people get to hear his side of his story in his own words."
<em>Through a glass darkly</em> is a peculiar phrase. It implies that we can&rsquo;t comprehend reality through the lens of personal experience. While the Bible offers worthwhile principles for living, it is not a reference of authority to someone who hasn&rsquo;t acknowledged it as truth. So rather than wrestle with ideology, let&rsquo;s change the focus and consider ourselves as evidence of a Divine Personality!</p> <p><em>Because I Made You That Way</em> presents twelve contentions for the way God designed you to recognize Him. This book offers an explanation for why God made you the way you are&mdash;not your flesh and bone, but your mind, will and spirit. Topics are grouped in three sections: <em>How You Were Born, What You Have, </em>and<em> What You Want</em>. In these chapters you&rsquo;ll find thoughts and ideas that drive home each point with tongue-in-cheek humor along the way.</p> <p>This book was written for men seeking focus and validation of the Christian message. It is pragmatic, including &ldquo;Deal With It&rdquo; study questions to provoke thought and discussion. <em>Because I Made You That Way</em> is a spiritual commentary that explores human nature and the way that perceptions influence a man&rsquo;s world view. Ultimately it attests that human nature directs us to the personality of God."

"WARNING Be prepared to be amused by the odd ways of the characters here portrayed in the first section of the book devoted to Limericks. Be prepared to feel sympathy for their mishaps and trials. But especially be prepared to be shocked by their goings-on and shenanigans - the forger, the glutton, the cheat, the drunkard, the proud, the greedy, the slothful, the unfaithful, the exhibitionist, the sex-mad, the dominatrix, the cougar, the transsexual, the transvestite, the masochist, the homosexual and many more. However also enjoy the more gentle humour of the later lengthier works set both in the UK and Australia which include homage to the Australian love of sport and the beach as well as a sad childhood tale."
