How Animals Talk : And Other Pleasant

Studies of Birds and Beasts
By William J. Long
Book Excerpt
I have found something that very much resembles telepathy in frequent use throughout
the entire animal kingdom. It is, as I think and shall try to make clear, a natural gift or
faculty of the animal mind, which is largely subconscious, and it is from the animal mind
that we inherit it; just as a few woodsmen inherit the animal sense of direction, and
cultivate and trust it till they are sure of their way in any wilderness, while the large
majority of men, dulled by arti?cial habit, go promptly astray whenever they venture
beyond beaten trails.

miracle possible. If you fulfill the necessary conditions for making divine intervention
possible, and then something seemingly miraculous occurs, you have good reason to
suppose that it isn’t a mere coincidence.

Book Summary by Linda Brown
The book is based on the fact that the basic elements of DNA - hydrogen, nitrogen,
oxygen and carbon translate directly to key letters of both the Hebrew and Arabic
alphabets and that in both alphabets they spell the name of God. What this means is that
the letters of God’s ancient name "are encoded as the genetic formation in every cell, of
every life."

HEALING THROUGH THE SHADOW

OF LOSS
By Deborah Morris Coryell
Book Summary by Ruby Gillion
Birth, death, and grief are the only experiences in life that every person will confront.
Regardless of our religion or non-religion, these three processes will be a part of life.
How these are dealt with will depend to a great extent on one’s belief system. If death
and grief are approached from a spiritual standpoint, it is believed that nothing is ever
lost.

too.’ Then she hugged me. I could actually feel her arms around me." But at the time of
this experience, Becky’s mother had been dead for five years.

Playing the Quantum Field: How

Changing Your Choices can Change Your
Life
By Brenda Anderson
An Excerpt
Have you ever experienced a sudden breakthrough? You know that feeling, when what
you picture in your head actually happens and you want to pinch yourself because you
can’t believe it’s real? Or when you have one of those moments of clarity, and your
biggest problem suddenly disappears because you look at it differently, or when the
perfect solution presents itself out of the blue? That’s when you’re playing the quantum
field.

Messengers of Love, Light and Grace:

Getting to Know Your Personal Angels
By Terry Lynn Taylor
Book Summary by Linda Brown
The definition of angel is messenger. Often these messengers come to us through
intuition, to warn or guide us. Every person has a guardian angel that is with him or her
all the time. This companion angel was with us as far back as when we decided to come
into life as the person we are today. Most people primarily think of their guardian angel
as a protector. This does not mean, however, that we can go through our life journey with
no bumps in the road. There are certain things we are meant to experience in order to
learn the lessons those experiences teach us.

Science and the Akashic Field: An Integral

Theory of Everything
By Ervin Lazlo
An Excerpt
Before embarking on the search for an integral theory of everything, we should review
the puzzles that are emerging in the pertinent fields of the sciences. We should be
familiar with the unexpected and often strange findings that stress the current theories of
the physical world, the living world, and the world of human consciousness, for only then
can we understand the concepts that not only shed light on one or the other of these
persistent domains of mystery, but also address the elements they have in common-and
thus give us a new, more integral understanding of nature, mind, and universe.
The Yoga of Sound
By Russill Paul
Medical research now validates immense physiological benefits from chanting: lowered
blood pressure, stabilized heart rate, improved circulation and the production of
endorphins, which are body’s natural painkillers and mood enhancers.

The Integral Vision of Reality

An excerpt from: Science and the Reenchantment of the Cosmos: The Rise of the Integral
Vision of Reality

By Ervin Laszlo
After our explorations of the big questions of universe, life, and consciousness, and the
existential questions of morality, reincarnation, and immortality, it is time to get down to
the most fundamental question of all. What is the real nature of the world we live in?

Science and the Akashic Field: An Integral

Theory of Everything
By Ervin Laszlo
Book Summary By Clayton Montez, M.A.

record.

The Inner Psychic: A Journey from

Reluctance to Self-Reliance
By Darrin Owens
As a psychic who feels called to help others connect with their own inner psychic, my
role is to encourage clients to deal with their challenges, not escape them. Accepting your
true psychic nature means taking your power back and redirecting your life. That is why
we are all reluctant psychics to some degree. We are afraid of the power and total
responsibility that comes with owning our psychic potential.

Mental Radio
By Upton Sinclair
Book Summary by Jed Bendix
Upton Sinclair became first aware of the supernatural as a young man when he met a
Unitarian minister who claimed to be able to talk to ghost. Several years later, Upton’s
wife, Mary Craig Kimbrough, persuaded Upton to research the paranormal. As a result,
from 1928 to 1930, Upton and Mary did over 300 hundred telepathic experiments.

conducted very interesting experiments in ESP. During his research, Rene developed
three concepts crucial to understanding and performing ESP. The concepts involve:
models of the mind, information transfer, and signal-to-noise ratio.

Science and the Reenchantment of the

Cosmos: The Rise of the Integral Vision of
Reality
By Ervin Laszlo
Book Summary by Clayton Montez
Findings at the cutting edge of modern science imply that the cosmos is pregnant with
meaning for our life. We are not isolated from everything else in the universe, but an
integral part of it. The insights of technological science are coming together in the belief
that Intelligence is involved in the formation of the universe and that there is mind and
purpose that guides us to realize our human potential.

Entangled Minds: Extrasensory

Experiences in a Quantum Reality
By Dean Radin
Book Summary by Denise L. Dahl
The word "entanglement" was coined by one of the founders of quantum theory Erwin
Schrodinger. It refers to the connections between separated particles that remain
connected regardless of distance. These connections are instantaneous and operate
outside the usual flow of time. This implies that seeing things as separate objects is in a
sense an illusion created by our limited perception. Bioentanglement has to do with
quantum connections with and among living systems. In fact, entanglement may extend
to everything in the universe.

Developing the Psychic Profession

Commentary by Henry Reed
The Intuitive Career: How to Succeed as a Consultant, Reader, or Healer

By Cay Randall May

What can society expect from a professional intuitive? I think it is crucially important
that psychics get it together to provide us with an answer. It would create the actual status
of "profession" in the mind of society. What do psychics profess? We don’t know yet, but
we’re waiting.
The Psychic Mafia: Who Are They and
How Do We Escape Them?
By Lorrie Kazan
Mediums in this book are villainous con artists who use multiple techniques of fakery,
fraud and even sexuality in order to fool and fleece the public. Some techniques should
be obvious-for instance, if you’re having sex in the séance room with your dead
husband’s ghost, you might want to turn up the lights and see what’s real.

The Gift of Prophecy

By Echo Bodine
For centuries, religious leaders have clumped fortune tellers and prophets (psychics) in
the same category and called them evil and this is wrong. A prophet is someone who is
gifted and has usually worked hard to understand his/her gift. There is so much positive
support in the New Testament for the gift of prophecy and it’s time people know that.

On Being Non-Attached to Outcomes

By Brandon Bays
Often, we become attached to something or someone because deep down we fear we
would’t be complete without them. We fear letting go into the presence of the unknown,
and feel that we would be left bereft, lost, alone without that outer possession, person,
lifestyle. We fear non-existence.

Were the Atlanteans Neanderthals?

Atlantis and the Kingdom of the
Neanderthals: 10,000 Years of Lost History
By Colin Wilson
A Commentary by Noble Augusta On:
I would never have connected Neanderthal cave men with stories about the
technologically advanced civilization of Atlantis. By the time I had begun the third
chapter, I was out of my seat, reaching for my handy desk-top globe and world atlas. To
anyone else who reads this book, I might suggest they get their own globe out, too.

Gifts of Healing
By Hugh Lynn Cayce
We might say that when an individual obeys the spiritual law which he knows, he will be
drawn into the very environment and opportunities which make possible his greatest
spiritual growth. ... So, when the group raises the atomic vibrations that make for the
positive forces which bring divine forces into action in a material plane; those forces of a
destructive nature are broken down by the raising of the vibration.

Your Immortal Reality

By Gary Renard
Book Review by Sidney Goodwin

Atlantic University
Your Immortal Reality much like The Disappearance of the Universe attempts to explain
A Course in Miracles from the "good old common man" approach. Gary says that he is
just a common guy, not all that bright, who just happen to have his future self, who wrote
the Gospel of Thomas in a previous life, and a partner appear as physical forms in his
living room and give him sage advice on spiritual principles to living in everyday life.
Their banter adds color and some humor to the exchange that presses the message of A
Course in Miracles that forgiveness is the key to awaken us from the dream of this world.

The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes: Flood,

Fire, and Famine in the History of
Civilization

Simon Warwick-Smith

vetted scientists bring ancient myths and geological facts into, possibly, the most concise
picture of our planet’s history ever presented.

The Emotional Heart: The heart as an

organ of perception and communication
By Stephen Harrod Buhner
A chapter excerpted from his book:
The Secret Teachings of Plants: The Intelligence of the Heart in the Direct Perception of
Nature
The tendency for heart cells to entrain with one another, merely because of the proximity
of their electromagnetic fields, extends to any electromagnetic field that comes into
contact with them. Just as the electromagnetic fields of two heart cells cause them to
begin beating or oscillating in unison, when the electromagnetic fields of two hearts come
together, they also begin to oscillate or entrain to each other. But this phenomenon
extends even further.

The Heart’s Code

By Paul Pearsall

Beyond Knowing: Mysteries and Messages

of Death and Life from a Forensic
Pathologist
By Janis Amatuzio, M.D.
Books Summary by John Hanson
The work is about half what you know and half what you feel. That’s why you have to
keep an open mind. That’s when you notice your gut feeling. It is this kind of knowing
that most of us have forgotten. For Janis Amatuzio, it is a way to understand a different
world.

Plants and Their Spiritual Nature

An excerpt from
Aromatherapy for the Soul: Healing the
Spirit wth Fragrance and Essential Oils
By Valerie Ann Worwood
Having a conversation with a tree might seem like a strange thing to do, especially when
you live in a large city, a long way away from trees. But when actually out among them,
it seems like the most natural thing in the world to do. I can fully understand why
traditional Native Americans, when planning to cut down a tree to make a totem pole or
boat, asked permission and gave thanks directly to the tree making the sacrifice.

Walking with the Wisdom of All Traditions:

An Interview with Sage Bennet

The Power of Awareness

An excerpt from

The Mandala of Being: Discovering the

Power of Awareness
By Richard Moss, M.D.
Any story you tell yourself about who you are, any belief you have, any feeling you are
aware of, is only an object of your larger consciousness. You, in your essence, are always
something that experiences all these and remains more complete than any of them. When
you realize that you are inherently larger than any feeling that enters your awareness, this
very awareness will change the feeling, and it will release its grip on you.

Knowledge Was Graciously Invoked in Me

by the Plant Teacher

The New Science of Consciousness

By Laurie Nadel, Ph.D.
An Excerpt from her book:
Sixth Sense: Unlocking Your Ultimate Mind Power.
The term "new science" was first introduced in 1964 by the late Nobel neuroscientist Dr.
Roger Sperry (1913-1994). It is based on the premise that your consciousness -- your
point of focus which can be compared to a cursor on your computer screen --can create
physical effects in your brain as well as the other way around.

RELIGIOUS LITERACY: What Every

American Needs to Know
By Stephen Prothero
Books Summary by Rosemary Roberts
Americans are feeling outnumbered and threatened, not so much by foreign terrorists but
by their fellow Americans. An atmosphere of faith-based paranoia permeates a portion of
our cultural climate. Unlike the Europeans, whose educations have included a thorough
steeping in religious studies, we do not -- cannot -- view religion objectively. Instead, we
clutch our Bibles to our bosoms and with varying degrees of emotional fervor,
proclaiming ourselves "a religious nation."

Breatkthrough!
By Alan Watts
An excerpt from his autobiography:

In My Own Way
The power of something so apparently simple-and so seemingly absurd-as mantra- and
om-chanting is that it fosters a relaxed concentration on pure sound, as distinct from
words, ideas, and abstractions, and thus brings attention to bear on reality itself.

Far Journeys
Ronald Russell
An excerpt from:

The Journey of Robert Monroe: From Out

of Body Explorere to Consciousness
Pioneer
The question of proof no longer concerned him and he had lost interest in taking part in
controlled tests. Also, he found it had become very easy for him to move into the out-of-
body state. Refreshed after three or four hours of sleep, he was ready to slip out, as it
were, but what was there to do? Everyone else was asleep and he saw no point in
purposelessly drifting around.
The Spiritual Journey in 21st Century
America
By Rosemary Roberts
We claim to be a religious nation; we believe we are believers. Statistics prove otherwise.
In tallying such factors as profession of faith, attendance at worship services, scripture
reading and study, prayer and meditation, and willingness to volunteer, evidence of
genuine commitment is steadily declining.

Return of the Goddes

By Edward C. Whitmont
Book summary by Jan Kruyff
History demonstrates that consciousness evolves in steps and phases. The study of
consciousness tells us we are in the midst of one such transitional phase. That the
feminine be involved should be a forgone conclusion. Both the masculine and the
feminine are original components of consciousness. Insight into the present struggle of
the feminine is had in understanding from where we have come and where we are going.
The Future of Man
By Pierre Teillhard de Chardin
Book Summary by Maggie Spilner
For man to continue progressing, without blowing himself, or the earth to bits, there must
be a passionate longing to grow emerging from Mankind. And that growth must be with
unification in mind.  As the earth becomes smaller (more people, same space) man, by
some force, will bring a common soul to mankind. Inwardly and in freedom, we must
choose to come together.

Relationships: How Are You Connected?

By Christian de Quincey
An excerpt from:
Radical Knowing: Understanding Consciousness through Relationship
This may come as a surprise to some people: You cannot not be in relationship. It is a
fact of life. Yet so many of us spend a lot of our precious time and money trying to find
relationships, or the perfect one. But after some reflection and clear thinking we come to
recognize a basic, simple fact: We are always in relationship ... of some kind. It's part of
the welcome package we get on arrival into this world. Every one of us—no exceptions
—gets the basic package: a body, a mind, and relationships.

Renaissance II: Rebirth in the New Clear

Age
By Donn O'Connor
A summary by the author
Edgar Cayce, a dedicated Christian, was somewhat dismayed to learn that he had, while
in a self-induced trance state, made a statement referring to reincarnation, since he had
considered the concept to be "the work of the Devil." Such would be a normal reaction,
since it is not commonly known that Christianity's theological foundation, rather than
having been based on sacred Hebrew documents and the oral teachings of Jesus, was
established principally on the philosophy of Plato, and reincarnation represented the very
foundation of Plato's teaching.

The Nine Powers of Dreaming

By Robert Moss
An excerpt from:
The Three "Only" Things
Have you ever said, "it's only a dream"? While we often dismiss dreams, or fail to make
room for them in the hurry of our daily lives, dreams can be a fabulous source of
guidance, healing and juice for any day. Dreams offer us nine tremendous gifts.

The Mayan Calendar and the

Transformation of Consciousness
Carl Johan Calleman
Book Summary by Mimi Hoke
The Mayan calendar is based on a philosophy of natural rhythms that are in synch with
the cosmic plan and, therefore, prophetic. The structure and cycles of the calendar reveal
the time plan for the evolution of human consciousness, and correlate with the wave
patterns of significant historical events.

The Reflecting Self: Would We Lose Our

Souls in a World Without Animals?
By Gary Kowalkski
My own children remind me that becoming human is a continuous unfolding. One
evening my son was playing with his toys in the tub when suddenly something caught his
eye. Reflected in the chrome fixture encircling the faucet was his own image. With a
happy smile of recognition, he called out his name, "Noah."
WHERE IS GOD?
By John Welshons
Based on his book, When Prayers Aren't Answered
Where is God when tragedy strikes? When events happen that break our hearts? When
human beings inflict cruelty and suffering on one another? These and similar questions
form the basis of nearly every quest for spiritual understanding, and nearly every
individual crisis in faith.

The End of Eden: The Comet That

Changed Civilization
By Graham Phillips
Commentary by Noble Augusta
Imagine what it would be like for a small town of fifty to a hundred people to host
Woodstock, every day for two thousand years with no reason for anyone, at any time, to
feel the need for town safety. Let your mind get around a kind of Eden where everyone
got along and folks lived in harmony with each other. Imagine this utopia is in every
place of human habitation around the globe. OK, imagine something like Haley's comet
streaking across the sky. Everyone would turn out to watch a magnificent star together.

THE OMEGA PROJECT: Near-Death

Experiences, UFO Encounters, and Mind
at Large
By Kenneth Ring, Ph.D.
Book Summary by Quentin T. Benson
Visionary experiences are forcing us to think in new ways, which may be the purpose of
these events, leading humanity to "modify our basic ideas of how reality works." They
are not designed to control us, but to confound us. Extraordinary experiences loosen the
chains of fixed ideas and make room for new ones. Before a new system can be put in
place, the old system must be deconstructed and abandoned.
Old Souls: Compelling Evidence from
Children Who Remember Past Lives

transformation process.

Mental Resilience: Develop the Focus of a Warrior and the Peace of a Monk.

By Kamal Sarma

A Revolution of Angels

By Dawna Markova. An excerpt from her book, A Spot of Grace

When I was five, my grandmother who was a Russian midwife and healer told me a
creation myth about a huge crystal bowl in the dark sky. One night it shattered into
millions of tiny seeds of light that lodged inside of every being on the planet. Each
was called a spot of grace. She told me that our task as humans is to find, grow, and
shine that seed into the darkness of the world. She said that when everyone does
this, the bowl will be made whole again.

The Value of Solitude*

How Do You Think the World  Ends?

Henry Reed

Shifting one’s perception, from seeing the glass as half empty to seeing it as half full,
creates a minor miracle. It changes an impoverished world into one of opportunity.

no. Could this difference in understanding be fueling today’s culture wars?
