This second volume takes the reader deep inside the "Planetary Initiation of 2012" and describes in detail the physical changes scheduled for the third week in December 2012, just before the Winter Solstice. The book shows how these changes align with the ancient prophecies of the Mayan and other Elders of ancient tribes, both in North America and other locations. They are part of a much larger plan for an energetic upgrade of the whole Solar System and the galaxy itself. The role of mankind is to learn to fit in with the Cosmic Plan and release the belief that all life revolves around human needs and desires - just like we had to release an earlier misunderstanding that the Sun revolved around the Earth. Humanity now faces the extraordinary challenge of choosing one of two diverging paths, as we come to terms with these stark new realities. The author provides unusual insights into how an individual can best address the process of making enlightened choices in these challenging circumstances. He goes further to describe the Spiritual and physical consequences of the choices available, and encourages the reader to go significantly beyond what we may previously have thought possible, when deciding on our path forwards. The author leaves us with the encouraging understanding that there is much help and thoughtful guidance available for individual humans going forward to 2012 and beyond. It is time for Earth and humanity to reconnect with the vast population of planets and living beings throughout the universe, one step at a time. It is time to release the outworn and somewhat despairing belief that we are the only meaningful lifeforms in the cosmos.

"What is the nature of matter?"Within conventional science, the reductionist, materialist view asserts that matter is solely physical. Hauschka shows that open-minded study, based on qualitative observation and quantitative research, can overcome this now standardized view. Without denying the laws of matter, he shows the limitations of a science restricted by them, and points to new research that indicates the primal nature of spirit. This classic work, reprinted in its original form, is the result of Dr Hauschka's many years' research at the Ita Wegman Clinic in Arlesheim, Switzerland. Through decades of experimentation he came to radical conclusions that suggested potential new directions for science. This book includes the detailed results of Hauschka's experiments although his approach is not restricted to measurement and outer observation. Based on the work of Goethe and Steiner, he encourages a method of seeing nature that has an artistic quality, and calls for direct experience rather than intellectual theorizing. "The Nature of Substance" is generally accessible. The author deliberately avoids technical terms and academic style in favor of vivid descriptions and lively discussions. His fascinating study takes in many substances, with chapters on plants, animals, oils, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, metals, carbon, oxygen, poisons, high dilutions, and much more. This book is a companion volume to the author s other work, "Nutrition."
