Everything Happens For A Reason |
|
| This
book sheds light on many of life's nagging mysteries. If you've been wondering
why you were born, what death is, and why there can be so much pain in-between
. . . if you question your choices, aren't sure about the people you attract
into your life, and would love to stop making the same "mistakes"
over and over again . . . then read on. Now, in this unique work, she
examines the relationship between those who have passed over, our own
souls and the lessons we are here to learn-or our Soul Program-and shows
unequivocally that everything happens for a reason. Why are we here? We
are in this life for a purpose-whether we're aware of it or not-and that
purpose is to learn, to accomplish what each soul has chosen as its program,
and that could mean anything. |

Hidden Treasure: Poetry and Prose of Bailey Laurel Ginsberg by B. L. Ginsberg |

| It all began soon after the death of a seemingly average teenage girl named Bailey Ginsberg, when a lone computer disk fell from the closet shelf in her English teacher's office. A single poem called The Wonder Awaits was on this disk and speaks of the writer's need to return after death to explain what it's all about. This book is filled with her prose and poetry, much of which shows evidence of a connection to a higher realm. | |

Life After Loss by Raymond Moody Jr. and Dianne Arcangel |
|
| Editorial
Review from Publishers Weekly "Author of the seminal 1975 Life After Life and renowned expert on near-death experiences, Moody teams up with grief counselor Arcangel to provide a comprehensive and compassionate manual for the bereaved. Personal stories illustrate the short- and long-term effects of the death of a loved one, an event considered life's most stressful. With a clear and empathetic understanding of grief, Moody and Arcangel move beyond Kubler-Ross's stages of mourning to explore the variations in individual experience as influenced by such specific factors as the bereaved's personality and the circumstances surrounding the death, as well as more general factors, like cultural pressure. Arguing that "Grief is not an emotion but a process with a host of emotions," and that "each person is the expert for his or her grief alone," the authors emphasize the fallacy of assigning set timetables and linear phases to grieving. Offering plenty of helpful advice how to cope with stress, how to get sympathy, etc. Moody and Arcangel gently guide mourners through the four tasks of healthy grief (and here their debt to Kubler-Ross is clear): accepting the reality of the loss, working through the emotional pain, adjusting to the changed environment and moving forward. Going beyond loss can lead to "a spiritual rebirth" through increased appreciation, humility, tolerance, passion, clarity, sensitivity, spirituality and love.... On September 11, the audience for this work grew by the thousands...." Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc. (This text refers to the Hardcover edition.) |

Life As A Novice by Jeffrey Kane, Ph.D. Download and listen to the interview |

| "As a novice, a traveler in the open world with only a rare glimpse of a signpost or trail, I stack the words as totems for those who follow," Dr. Kane writes in the preface to Life As A Novice," "...The few words I've found, I share in the hope that those awakened to life beyond the wall of physicality and the gates of birth and death see that others have passed this way, and wandered on." According to Time magazine essayist Roger Rosenblatt, "Jeff Kane's poems have the brevity and the power of Emily Dickinson's, but they come from a different endurance. They make you weep and clap. Mainly, they make you feel." | |

The Gift by Dr. Sally Rhine Feather and Michael Schmicker |
|
| From
Publishers Weekly: "In the 1930s J.B. Rhine launched a series of
experiments focusing on extra sensory perception (ESP) at Duke University's
Parapsychology Lab. To both accolades and criticism from the scientific
community, he argued that the ability of a statistically significant number
of subjects to accurately guess the order of randomly arranged cards established
ESP's existence. Rhine's daughter Feather, an experimental and clinical
psychologist and director of the Rhine Research Center, with the assistance
of Schmicker (Best Evidence), draws on a database of thousands of reported
cases to present a variety of intriguing, if not fully convincing, accounts
that, she says, can't be explained except as instances of ESP. There are
three types of stories: precognitive (the ability to foresee an event),
clairvoyant (witnessing an event at a distance as it occurs) and telepathic
(reading another's mind). There are harrowing tales of mothers who sense
that one of their children is in danger, as well as young children apparently
able to sense what a parent is thinking. Feather includes a number of
examples of people who claim to have had a premonition of 9/11. Although
the author strains for an open-minded approach, she states clearly that
she accepts the validity of psychic experiences. This collection of anecdotes
will appeal most to those who share her convictions." Agent, Nat

We Are Eternal: What the Spirits Tell Me About Life After Death By Robert Brown |
|
|
"Since ancient times, humankind has been fascinated with what happens after our physical bodies have ceased to function. Though most of the world's leading religions promote the idea of life after death, their followers remain in the dark about what specifically is to come when our souls leave our bodies. According to Robert Brown, the truth about the afterlife is available to all of us. In WE ARE ETERNAL, Brown reveals what he has learned from those who have crossed over, and shares stories of clients who have gained peace of mind knowing that their loved ones do go on. In the process, the author explains all he has found to be true in mediumship and the spirit world, including how the spirit world works through spirit communicators (or mediums), what happens when our physical body dies and our beta body reaches the other side, and what the spirits really want us to know about such hot-button issues as abortion, capital punishment, suicide and man's inhumanity to man."

Deeper Orders of Reality: Creating Our Future
Seminar II: Dreams, Visions and the Human Mind (3.50 Hrs.) CD/DVD $25:
Our health and well-being require that we value our dreams, our life stories, our visions, and our feelings as much as we value our ability to think about ideas. The language of picture, symbol, and metaphor is our first language, the "native" language of the human species. Not only does this language reflect our relationship to the outer world, but it also reflects our unique relationship to deeper orders of reality: it is the living fiber that connects us to multidimensional worlds. It is the language of the sensuous world, the body, instinct, feeling, memory, dream and vision. And it is the language of myth - the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and our place in the universe. Dreams, visions and myths shift our perspective, provide new modes of resolving problems, and trigger neurological mechanisms in the brain that open us to the most profound and expansive potentials of the human mind.

Seminar III: Why Death Won't Go Away (3.50 Hrs.) CD/DVD $25:
Sooner or later we all must face what we fear most: the death of someone we love. Our attitude toward death is our cultural inheritance from a world that has closed itself off from other dimensions of reality. When someone we love dies, we are devastated because we experience absence from the material world as a total loss. This cultural belief about death as the end of all that we have ever known and loved affects every aspect of our lives. When we limit our vision to the boundaries of this material reality, we are not able to live our lives fully and we become vulnerable to unbearable sorrow, indifference, depression, addiction, violence, and fanaticism. The consequences of this limited vision now threaten our existence. Our present belief about death is symbolic of our limited vision of ourselves and our ability to create a sustainable future. Yet, in the midst of this crisis, a new consciousness is being born on this planet. The core aspect of this consciousness was known in the ancient world and in most indigenous cultures: to be initiated into Life one must be initiated into the Mystery of Death. Just as birth is the manifestation of life in this dimension, death is the dynamic process of birth into another dimension. Birth and death are the primary polarities of life, the inseparably intertwined force of life.

41 The Movie (October 28, 2007 Premiere Showing:Woonsocket, Rhode Island)
On the night of February 20th, 2003, pyrotechnics ignited an instant inferno at the Station Nightclub fire in West Warwick, Rhode Island. 100 people lost their lives – the youngest of which had just turned 18. He was an actor, musician, singer, lyricist and playwrite. His name was Nicholas O’Neill. The title 41 refers to Nick’s conscious obsession with the number throughout his life - a mysterious interest well documented in his journal entries, drawings and by those who knew him. In his last year of life, Nick and Christian made conscious attempts to understand the nature of his obsession, but the clearest answers were only to be found could following the tragedy of the Station Nightclub fire. At the heart of Nick’s story is a one-act play that he wrote a year before his death called They Walk Among Us, a story about teens who die and exist as guardian angels. The only known manuscript of this play was found and re-read after his passing. The prophetic nature of his writing, as well as the song lyrics he wrote and performed with his band “Shryne,” is the driving force behind the story of 41.
