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.

Stephen Karcher Thorsons Way of The I Ching The I Ching is the oldest and most powerful Chinese oracle. This clear and accessible guide explains how you can take advantage of its wisdom to create happiness and success in your life. What makes "Way of the I Ching" so special is that, for the first time, we have a concise adaptation of theI Ching that is both an accurate interpretation of the ancient original texts and remarkably easy to understand. Another benefit to this edition is Dr. Karcher's introduction of a new way to consult the I Ching that is not only as easy as the common "three coins" method, but also retains the mathematical model underlying the traditional (and laborious) "yarrow stalk" method. It offers practical information and insight into: the I Ching's roots and history. how the I Ching works - its 64 symbols or hexagrams. how you can consult the oracle and find answers to a wide range of questions. how to recognize and resolve your anxieties and fears, and realize your desires.

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.

Astrological theory implies a relation between vocation and birth horoscopes. Dr Gauquelin discovered in studying the birth of 25,000 European professionals listed in "Who's Who", that certain planets were found more frequently at the rising or culminating positions in the horoscope. For example, Mars ascended or culminated in the case of athletes with the probability against chance distribution ranging from 1 in 50,000 to 1 in 1,000,000. This work has been internationally recognised as the most important scientific support that Astrology has ever received. Dr Gauquelin has validated the existence of a correlation between the state of the solar system and human experience. Hans Eysenck, a scientist at the London University Institute of Psychiatry, has praised Dr Gauquelin's research. Whatever you think about Astrology, this book is a new and important view for sceptics, scientists and astrologers.

Graves presents a practical introduction to dowsing with the pendulum, with an emphasis on the thinking and interpretation skills needed to gain the greatest success from the practice.

The Book of Knowledge encompasses the secrets of divination by the motion of heavenly bodies; the essential wisdom of palmistry and physiognomy; the maintenance of health by proper balance of the four bodily humors; the true causes of such phenomena as earthquakes and lightning; folk remedies for man and beast; and the rudiments of agriculture and animal husbandry. Herein one can learn which months are most suitable for blood letting, how white wine can clear the winds in the head that cause deafness, and other practical wisdom. Attributed to the mythical Jewish astrologer Erra Pater, The Book of Knowledge has been printed in various forms for over four hundred years. Conceiving of the universe through the lens of superstition and sympathetic magic, it transports the modern reader to a pre-scientific era when the deep workings of the nature were as yet unseen and mysterious.

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.
