Our fingerprints, the dermatoglyph symbols that are inscribed upon our hands, are not only an irrefutable mark of our identity - they also describe individual psychological profiles, each with their own unique signature traits. This definitive glyph pattern guidebook enables you to easily identify your individual fingerprint patterns, so as to understand more about yourself; physically, emotionally, vocationally, mentally and spiritually. Jennifer Hirsch presents over 200 images of the cosmic patterns that cover our palmar surfaces. The samples were chosen from her collection of well over 2,000 sets of hand prints, and include contributions from criminal records. Guaranteed to capture your imagination, the illustrations are accompanied by meanings for when the glyph patterns are on thumbs, index, middle, ring and baby fingers, and the palm. This is a comprehensive chirology 'bible', designed to draw attention to the newest developments in hand reading today and to present a fresh look at the increasingly popular craft.

Have you ever noticed that life is like a treasure hunt?

The more we understand ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us, the wiser we become. The challenges we face in our lives are hidden gems of wisdom that are waiting to be discovered and added to our personal treasure box. The events in our lives are irrelevant. They are simply the foundations we lay for our personal growth-and opportunities to add other gemstones to our treasure box. It is up to us to discover the gemstones of wisdom that are buried within the events of our lives.

This book will help you gain insights into your buried treasures by teaching how to connect with your Akashic Records. With the loving assistance of your Divine Spiritual Family (God/Goddess, All That Is, Ascended Masters, etc.) and the connection to your Akashic Records, you will experience a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you.

The Akashic Records can help you find the gemstones within any arena-relationships, repeating patterns and behaviors, influences from past lives, spiritual growth-and help you open to more peace and joy in your life.

In 1909, the Champlain and Hudson Valleys-and America and the world along with them-celebrated the 300th anniversary of European "discovery" of these regions. Marking America's entry onto the world stage, the 1909 commemorations' parades, pageants, speeches and other spectacles prophetically mapped the nation's 20th century course toward empire. In the same year, the Austrian esoteric teacher Rudolf Steiner prophetically envisioned a very different American and world destiny, one whose culmination comes in 2009, the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain and Henry Hudson's fateful landings. Focusing its historical gaze on Burlington, Vermont and Manhattan, A Short Story of American Destiny, 1909-2009 is an unsettling, surprising look at a small set of past events with profound implications for our present moment. Author of Across the Great Border Fault: The Naturalist Myth in America and Bright Colors Falsely Seen: Synaesthesia and the Search for Transcendental Knowledge, Dr. Kevin Dann teaches in the History Department at State University of New York, Plattsburgh.

New revised edition, 2012. The YI JING (I Ching) or Book of Change is China's oldest classic. It is a book of divination attributed to the mythical emperor Fu Xi. It contains 64 hexagrams or six-line images, which can be used to give answers to any question. Commentators such as the Duke of Zhou (8th century BCE) or Confucius added their wise words to these hexagrams and for ages this book has guided China's millions. The present version of the "Book of Change" is mainly meant as a divination tool. In this translation the authors did not only depend on the text and context, but mainly stayed with the basic structure of the YI JING namely the meanings and order of the trigrams, and the images and order of the hexagrams to clarify the meaning of the hexagrams and lines. They were also supported by their long-time experience of working with the Yi Jing. This new translation of the Yi Jing was therefore not a matter of translating the text from the Chinese language into English, but was rather a transcribing of the essence of the YI JING into concepts that come as close as possible to its actual meaning and purpose. The authors attempted to construct what they see as THE BASIC YI JING: one that is simple and easy, and comes as close as possible to the essence of the Yi-tradition. In their additions, notably named "The Twelfth Wing," the authors delved into the abstract and philosophic aspects of the book. They conversed with other researchers, and completed the book with an extensive bibliography. TOC: About the authors Preface Introduction, Origin, signs and omens, The Inner stgructure of the Yi-Jing, Three main methods of consultation, Inquiry and interpretation THE BASIC YI JING The Twelfth Wing: Introduction, Eight main principles of the Yi JIng, The Yi Jing and the process of change, The Yi JIng and the concept of time, The Yi Jing and the theory of chance, Parallelity and the Yi Jing, Inconsistencies in the Yi Jing, The Yi Jing's ways of wisdom, The order and sequence of the hexagrams, Yi Jing methodology, Consulting the Yi Jing with a die, Yi Jing numerology, A Mandala of hexagrams Appendices: The working method, Yi Jing corrections, The Trigrams, Miscellaneous, Chart to identify the hexagrams Bibliography

"New Thought" adherents at the turn of the 20th century vehemently believed they could tap into latent and mysterious mental powers, and one of the most influential thinkers of this early "New Age" philosophy offers here, in this delightfully weird 1908 work, a crash course in this benign and useful magic. You'll discover. . how to see through solid objects . how to diagnose hidden disease . how to peek into a person's secret history . how to travel by astral projection . how to see into the past . and more. American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, some of which are likely still unknown today, including "Yogi Ramacharaka" and "Theron Q. Dumont."

Dowsing is a core skill throughout the 'alternative' fields, especially in healing and in earth-mysteries studies - sensing patterns and energies in the landscape to extend our understanding of the past and provide practical value in the present. Yet whilst there are many introductory texts for beginners, there has been almost nothing that tackles the deeper disciplines of dowsing - the systematic practices and processes to take your skills beyond the beginner level. This book addresses that essential need. In a lighthearted, engaging and refreshingly open style, two of the most experienced dowsers in present-day earth-mysteries research - writer Tom Graves and archaeographer Liz Poraj-Wilczynska - explain what can and does go wrong in dowsing practice, and what to do to get it right. They guide you past the pitfalls that cause so many dowsing problems, and show you how to improve the reliability of your results. You'll explore how to: - use the Four Disciplines of Dowsing - artist, scientist, mystic and magician - switch between the disciplines in seamless practice - use psychology and physiology of perception to enhance your awareness - avoid the Seven Sins of Dubious Discipline - hype, newage and the like - know how, where, when and why to use, or not use, your dowsing skills This book also introduces a new technique of deviceless dowsing, using GPS technology to map intuitive sensings and their locations at any dowsing sites. Illustrated throughout with useful anecdotes and exercises, this is one book you'll want to keep close to hand whenever you use dowsing in your work.
