How Do They Do That? A young man of Dublin walks past a row of
streetlights at night--and they go out, one by one, as he passes.
An engineer in Woodville, Washington, is stopped by police and his
car searched to nd out what he's doing to their streetlights. An
Australian in the entertainment industry parks his car in a parking
lot, and the light above him goes out-until the following evening
when he parks in precisely the same space and the light comes on
again. And that's not all. When a guest in a restaurant in Athens,
Greece, asks that the music be turned down, they refuse--whereupon
she "kills" the restaurant's electricity and they eat the rest of
their meal by candlelight. Other people affect traf c lights,
computers, railway crossings... This is Street Light Interference
(SLI). Once considered to be folklore--something that happened to a
friend of a friend--today it is recognized as a scienti c enigma
with implications for our knowledge of the universe, including
ourselves. In this, the rst full-length book on SLI, we hear from
some of the hundreds of SLIders who have reported their uncanny
experiences, and consider the wider implications of this
fascinating phenomenon.
Texas - or the Lone Star State, as it is affectionately and widely
known - is the second largest U.S. state in both area and
population, and contains both colorful and majestic landscapes that
range from desert to plains, and forest to wild canyons. But that
is not all: all across Texas there lurks a wide array of monsters,
mysterious beasts and diabolical creatures that science tells us do
not exist - but that a significant percentage of the good folk of
Texas certainly know otherwise.

This book addresses general aspects of the elusive realm of African
religious experiences, using selected examples of evidence of how
Africans have acted in their encounter with the unknown world from
ancient times. Religious concepts and symbolisms such as
identifying the "supreme being" the supernatural, spirits and
spiritualism, ancestral veneration, ritual and ritual objects and
obligations, kinship and community relationships, spirit
possession, libation, divination, festivals and festivities, birth,
initiation, marriage and death rites, notions of witchcraft and
witches, are discussed. The central issue is that in African
religious thought and practice, the known and the unknown worlds
are not separated; also, science and religion are not in separation
- the two worlds must always flow and float together in harmony.
Religion and spirituality, as real life with a strong community
role, personification of the collective desire and the dual power
of a combination of spiritual and physical in healing and God as
personal are discussed in a global perspective, acknowledging the
African religious experience and associated conceptssuch as
behavior and symbolisms, as continuities that reflect the past and
represent basic elements of the rich and authentic aspetcts of the
African religious heritage. The book takes the liberty to present
the material in the ethnographic present although such practices
may belong to the past.
Passengers cancelling their tickets for Titanic's maiden voyage out
of apprehension; a famous social reformer who died on Titanic,
warned in 1911 that he would be in danger from water in April 1912;
inhabitants of the remote islands of Fiji aware of the sinking
before reports of the collision reached the Pacific; a dying girl
who, on 14 April 1912, 'sees' a big ship sinking in the water and
mysteriously knows the name of the violinist in Titanic's
orchestra. These are just a few of the numerous claims to psychic
foreknowledge of the ship's sinking. Within days of the
widely-publicised disaster of 1912, stories began circulating of
extraordinary omens and individuals who supposedly had supernatural
premonitions of the disaster. Furthermore, four fictional works -
one dating as far back as twenty-six years - came to be seen as
anticipating the disaster. Between 1960 and 2006, five major
commentators published extended analyses of the alleged
premonitions, none of which is now easily accessible to an English
readership. This book examines them all in detail. The whole
treatment of the matter opens up fascinating questions concerning
the paranormal, but also raises and leaves unresolved crucial
issues specific to premonitions and how they can be legitimately
examined. Readers are left to make their own judgement on Titanic
premonitions.
Integrating astrology, mythology and spirituality, this book is a
reflection on the themes of the astrological ages across the past
13,000 years and is an exploration of what astrology has to tell us
about the meaning of the changes happening globally and culturally
in this time. We are currently on the cusp of the Age of Aquarius,
at the end of a 26,000 year precessional cycle and, according to
ancient prophecies, at the close of a world era. With the recent
discovery of the planetoids Sedna and Eris, new forms of
consciousness are entering our awareness. Through listening to the
messages of the stars and planets, we find guidance for our lives
in this intense time of change. We live in a sentient universe,
which is calling us back into relationship with the cosmos and with
the Earth. In remembering our source (the galactic center),
reconnecting with the spirit in all of life and in becoming
centered within ourselves, we gain meaning and wisdom for who we
are and who we are becoming and find a path for the healing and
evolution of ourselves and our Earth.

A scientific investigation of the healing and energetic effects of
crop circles In 1990 while studying the energetics of a crop
circle, Lucy Pringle experienced a miraculous healing of a severe
shoulder injury. Inspired, she expanded her research to investigate
the physical, psychological, and energetic effects of these
mysterious formations on people as well as on animals. In this
book, alongside her stunning full-color aerial photographs of crop
circles, Pringle shares the results of her research, including
anecdotes from an 800-person questionnaire study, in combination
with detailed scientific explanations by aerospace engineer and
fellow crop circle researcher James Lyons. The authors discuss case
histories of healing, from temporary respite from arthritis,
Reynaud's, and Parkinson's, to the permanent cure of muscle strains
and chronic pain, to emotional healing and feelings of peace and
happiness. They explore the relationship of crop circle formations
and consciousness, highlighting "intention" as a key factor in crop
circle manifestation. Pringle describes the wide range of
physiological effects--both positive and negative--caused by the
frequencies in crop circles and shows how the negative symptoms may
possibly be caused by heavy use of pesticides. Drawing on the
science behind the formation of the Aurora Borealis, or Northern
Lights, the authors explain how the same electromagnetic waves that
produce these lights in the sky also interact with the Earth's
magnetic field and ley lines to produce geometric-energetic
patterns in fields--crop circles--akin to the cymatic patterns of
sand on a vibrating drum surface. They reveal dowsing as a way to
identify underlying sacred geometry within a field and explain how
healing arises as the result of communication with the
self-organizing energy field of a crop circle. With the first
recorded appearance of a crop circle formation more than 4,000
years ago, crop circles are an ancient part of Earth's and
humanity's intertwined history that we are only beginning to
understand.
