timely and moving, Impossible Causes is an unputdownable novel that

African shamanism teaches that nature is magical, and magic is
natural. After being rescued from a life-threatening encounter with
lions in the Timbavati game region by a sangoma known as the 'Lion
Queen', Linda Tucker embarks on a journey into the mysteries of the
most sacred animal on the African continent: the legendary White
Lion. It is a mystical journey into the knowledge and ceremonies of
Old Africa, in which humans and lions are able to cross the species
barrier - in accordance with the most guarded secrets of Ancient
Egypt and humankind's greatest riddle, the sphinx. It is also a
real living journey. Scientists in our day have established that
humankind's most significant evolutionary leap occurred as a result
of our ancestors' interaction with great cats. The White Lion is a
generic rarity of Panthera leo, and occurred in one region only on
earth: Timbavati. Today White Lions form the centre of the
notorious 'canned' trophy hunting industry - hand reared captive
lions, shot in enclosures for gross money. By contrast, shamans
believe that killing a lion-sun god is the ultimate sacrilege. How
the human species treats such precious symbols of God in nature may
determine how nature treats the human species.

Rudolf Steiner introduced detailed, scientific knowledge of reincarnation and karma to the West. He gave concrete descriptions of the metamorphoses of individuals in the course of successive incarnations and specific examples of the working of karma, as well as practical exercises for experiencing the reality of reincarnation. He believed that experiencing the reality of successive earth lives would form the basis for true spiritual knowledge of the relationship of human beings and the cosmos. These talks contain some of Steiner's most important teachings on reincarnation and karma. He gives examples and exercises that can lead to direct knowledge of the laws of reincarnation and karma. Included are: -- How to get direct perception of the part of our being that passes through many lives on earth -- How to develop a "feeling memory", which is necessary before direct experience of reincarnation is possible -- Thought exercises for gaining knowledge of reincarnation and karma -- Examples of the working of karma between two incarnations -- How knowledge of reincarnation and karma affects our moral life
