Imagine sitting quietly around a campfire. Deep throated Native
drums are playing softly in the distance and somehow remind you of
the beat of your mother's heart. A Native flute echoes in the wind
from tree to tree, and an uncommon peace begins to settle over you.
A sage old Native Warrior, in the full wisdom of his years, is
sitting with you ... and begins to speak ... and you close your
eyes to listen. He speaks of the old ways, he speaks of the old
honors, and he speaks of his love for his people and their devotion
to the balance in Nature. His heart and his words are kind and
gentle ... but the space between those words is filled with
foreboding. He offers hope, but ..... "This is the way I would
begin describe my waking vision ... a solo journey of four days and
three nights alone, into the wilderness ... a Lakota style "vision
quest" with no food and no water. It was a trail that would lead
deep into the heart, and the mind, and the body, and the Spirit "
......... Robin Miller

'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.

The highly anticipated memoir from the star of the hit series
"Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead"
When Lisa Williams was four years old, she told her parents about
the spirits in her bedroom. Since those first sightings, Lisa has
seen and communicated with thousands of people who have passed
over, listening to their stories and delivering messages of comfort
to the loved ones they left behind.
In "Life Among the Dead," Lisa invites readers into her
extraordinary life, from her childhood in Birmingham, England,
where her grandmother -- also a renowned psychic -- encouraged her
to respect and nurture her talent, to her decision to move to Los
Angeles, where her smash-hit Lifetime television show quickly made
her one of the world's most beloved mediums. Lisa shares memories
of her earliest psychic experiences and her gradual acceptance of
her gift, and recalls many of the amazingly accurate communications
she has shared with believers and skeptics alike. In her
compassionate, down-to-earth style, she reveals exactly what it's
like to live surrounded by spirits every day, and she recounts the
joy she feels in bringing solace to those who have lost someone
dear and the insights she has gleaned about spiritual phenomena,
hauntings, psychic healing, and the afterlife.
Warm, witty, and surprising, "Life Among the Dead" is a
wonderfully intimate account of Lisa's life as a medium, healer,
wife, mom, and TV star who has already won the hearts of millions,
a woman with an astonishing gift for seeing beyond the ordinary and
into a mysterious and fascinating realm.
