"Pharmakeia (far-mak-i-ah) Greek: the power of witchcraft/sorcery manifested in drug addiction.
Throughout history drugs were used with the specific intent of accessing the spirit realm. Today, unknown to most, dark spirits continue to patrol the perimeter seeking an entrance to the souls of all who partake of Pharmakeia.
College Freshman Joshua Mitchell's discovery of a shocking family secret creates a tremendous burden. Its weight proves too much for him to bear and the results are absolutely tragic. Meanwhile, his childhood friend, Ashley Wells has begun to feel she is losing a battle of her own, unable to let go of the pain of that fateful night. Both choose to fight past and present demons of addiction by dedicating their seemingly broken lives to helping others.
Behind it all, in the realm of the unseen, the Ruler of Darkness meets with demonic lords to discuss a threat to one of their greatest weapons. "Even as Pharmakeia reigns on many nations, there is an attempt to expose our campaign. We must offer our temptations with the greatest cunning. And remember the best lie is one told softly."

Did you know that the father of psychoanalysis believed in ghosts, or that Frederick Engels attended seances? Ghosts: Deconstruction, Psychoanalysis, History is the first collection of theoretical essays to evaluate these facts and consider the importance of the metaphor of haunting as it has appeared in literature, culture, and philosophy. Haunting is considered as both a literal and figurative term that encapsulates social anxieties and concerns. The collection includes discussions of nineteenth-century spiritualism, gothic and postcolonial ghost stories, and popular film, with essays on important theoretical writers including Freud, Derrida, Adorno, and Walter Benjamin.

'There is evidence to suggest that our world and everything in it - from snowflakes to maple trees to falling stars and spinning electrons - are only ghostly images, projections from a level of reality literally beyond both space and time.' This is the astonishing idea behind the holographic theory of the universe, pioneered by two eminent thinkers: physicist David Bohm, a former protege of Albert Einstein, and quantum physicist Karl Pribram. The holographic theory of the universe encompasses consciousness and reality as we know them, but can also explain such hitherto unexplained phenomena as telepathy, out-of-body experiences and even miraculous healing. In this remarkable book, Michael Talbot reveals the extraordinary depth and power of the holographic theory of the universe, illustrating how it makes sense of the entire range of experiences within our universe - and in other universes beyond our own.

Up until now, we have had little knowledge of what the state of unconsciousness was like from the patient's point of view. Surprisingly, in a state considered void of human experiences, Lawrence found that the events subjects reported were extraordinary. Her research in hospital units and in the literature reveals that more than 70% of the individuals who regain consciousness remember events during their unconscious period. They heard and understood conversations, had inner dialogues, recognized their emotions, and went out of their bodies. As would be expected, some of the patients' experiences are the now-recognized classic NDEs (near-death experiences).

The author also includes descriptions of related research from nursing, medicine, psychology, and parapsychology. The phenomena described in the book are not easily explained by the paradigm of one discipline. It is the author's point of view that because the phenomena crosses the lines of many disciplines, the answer to understanding and explaining the experiences can be obtained only by using theories and research methods from a variety of related disciplines. The integration of research from such varied disciplines brings a unique perspective to the chapters. Also included are suggestions for caregivers and families about what can be done for patients during their unconscious episode and after their recovery.

In A Sinner's second book he again states he has to keep to his pen name and again changes all names of churches, friends and family because of, as he puts it, " historical freedoms long ago fought and died for in my country, but now lost to dangerous forces, that are not only unchallenged but appeased and encouraged." He gives a chapter on his own English roots and background where he says his Saviour showed him the first signs of sin of which he needed to take to His cross. He mentions first hand experience of Jesuit and Christian Brother school teachers, who not surprisingly, he is no fan of. Yet his criticisms again are not left to Roman Catholicism alone. As in his first book, often humorous, often tragic words, but now not just in sermon notes but observations, experiences, speaking notes, modern parables, one or two poems and also in his own mostly pen and ink illustrations. He gives a little more detail than in his first book of his working for his Saviour in missionary organisations such as Prison Fellowship, SASRA and local church work. Through it all, he leaves the same message for all: look to the Bible for inspiration but especially to unbelievers for salvation only in the Bible's Author, The Holy Spirit and the Word of God Jesus Christ John Then they asked Him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?" Jesus answered "The work of God is this: to believe in the one He has sent John 6;28&29.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people in the US alone that have "something" living in their homes. "Something" they can't see. They hear voices and odd noises or feel that "something" touching them. Whatever it is, they want it gone Most people who have unseen entities in their homes have tried a variety of rituals to rid themselves of ghosts with little or no success. The Bible has the answers to questions like, "What are ghosts, really? Do ancient rituals work? What really does work and why?" and " How do I get rid of a ghost?"
