Have you ever looked at the clock and been surprised at how often
it says 11.11 or 2.22 or 3.33? "The 11:11 Code" tells the story of
yoga teacher Hilary Carter, who was brave enough to follow the
coincidences around numbers to see what would happen. To her
amazement the number signs, in particular 11.11, led her to buy an
ancient convent in Andalucia, Spain. The problems this led her to
were in a different league to the normal "restoring old continental
properties" so common on our TV screens today. Her financial backer
died, her first builder ended up in prison and her second builder
was paralysed in a tragic accident. But that scratches the surface.
Formerly a home to the Knights Templar, the building was both
haunted and seemed to have a will of its own.This exploration of
synchronicity, destiny and past lives sits with The Celestine
Prophecy as an inspiring example of discovering meaning behind
events. It further looks at the modern explosion of interest in the
significance of 11.11, and how as a binary number it links directly
to the current wars in Iraq, the Lebanon and Afghanistan. With the
difference, of course, that this is a true story. You will never
look at the world in the same way after reading this book, for once
you are awakened to the 11.11 sign, there is no going back to
sleep.
* Examines animal intelligences within a greater evolutionary
context, detailing in particular the remarkable intelligence of
crows and octopuses * Looks at the Australian Aborigine Dreamtime
as an attempt to understand the combined geological and geomantic
landscape * Investigates a range of ideas as they relate to the
intersections of consciousness and reality, including
reincarnation, past-life memories, ghosts, and UFOs From the
origins of the cosmos to the microbiome, COVID-19 pandemic, UFOs,
and the shapeshifting of octopuses and language of crows, Richard
Grossinger traverses the mysteries and enigmas that defi ne our
universe and personal reality. Beginning his narrative with the Big
Bang, origin of the Milky Way, and birth of our solar system,
Grossinger o ers a chronology of Earth's geological,
climatological, biological, and sociological evolution, leading to
the current environmental and psychospiritual crisis. He explores
the origin of cell life, RNA-DNA, and larger biomes, detailing in
particular the remarkable intelligence of crows and octopuses. He
uses the Australian Aborigine Dreamtime to understand landscapes as
thoughtforms. He then o ers reimaginings, from the perspective of
"dreamings," of a wide variety of animals, including tardigrades,
llamas, sea turtles, pigeons, bees, and coyotes. Examining the
scientifi c dilemmas and paradoxes of consciousness, time, and
quantum entanglement, Grossinger carries these into the range of
issues around reincarnation, past-life memories, messages from the
afterlife, and ghosts. Sharing exercises from his personal
practice, Grossinger makes a distinction between the Buddhist
description of reality and how Buddhist practitioners create an
operating manual for the universe and an assured path of salvation.
The author then examines UFOs and their connections to elementals,
fairies, and cryptids in terms of psychoids, Jung's term for
transconscious processes that enter our world as autonomous
entities. Taking the reader on a journey through the seen and
unseen universe, from the Big Bang to the imaginal landscape of
Dreamtime, Grossinger shows that matter is infused with spirit from
its very beginning.

Newcastle, the largest city in the North East, has a long and proud
history stretching back to Roman and Saxon times. Its position
defending the mouth of the River Tyne gave it an importance in the
medieval border wars with Scotland and by the sixteenth century it
controlled the coal trade from Tyneside to the rest of England. The
city became an industrial powerhouse in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, and the legacy of civic buildings, industrial
heritage and housing can still be seen throughout the city. Today
the city is as well known as a cultural and commercial centre as an
industrial city, and its distinctive past and present-day identity
is a vital part of the city's heritage. Newcastle is steeped in the
supernatural and paranormal and many places both grand and everyday
have rich and complex stories to tell. In this book author Steve
Watson investigates the rich supernatural heritage of this city at
places such as the castle keep, the site of infamous local gaols,
and the nearby Black Gate, which has seen hundreds of years of the
bloody history of Newcastle; the Literary and Philosophical
Society, said to be home to sixteen ghosts ranging from a
Witchfinder General to a little girl; the Tyneside Theatre and
Opera House where a stagehand and a performer died tragically; the
City Hall; and many more. Paranormal Newcastle takes the reader
into the world of ghosts and spirits in the city. These tales of
haunted places, supernatural happenings and weird phenomena will
delight the ghost hunters and fascinate and intrigue everybody who
knows Newcastle.
