Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Most people have, at some time in their lifetime, asked themselves: Why me? What is life all about? What is the meaning and purpose of life? Why are we here? Why do we need to be here? And many other similar questions. To date, I am not aware of any authority, religious or scientific; that has given an adequate and meaningful answer to these questions. In reality, the answers lie in spirit evolution, in each individual's spiritual development, and in reincarnation. For too long populations have lived in ignorance of true spiritual facts and relied on the words of those with limited spiritual knowledge. This has led to them being indoctrinated and controlled by superstition and religious doctrines. The purpose of this book is to convey in simple layman's language the basic truths concerning the interrelationship between the human spirit and the physical body, and to introduce other related subjects. I would like to think that what you read will trigger a need for you to investigate further the facts for yourself, so that you can reach your own conclusions.

Born in the Isle of Man of Irish/Welsh parentage, Noel Stuart nursed no other ambition than to work with animals. His lifelong passion for all creatures and his interest in complementary medicine for humans and non-humans alike combined to culminate in his eventual choice of career as a veterinary surgeon. Noel's work both as a vet and his second career as a writer is a rich tapestry of down-to-earth practice alongside a sense of healing power beyond science. This is balanced by a great sense of humour running a sparkling thread through all that he writes. Noel has studied such unusually diverse directions as dowsing and the effect of ley lines on cattle. He can claim distinction as being one of the earliest vets of his generation to treat fish and once had the dubious experience of counting an alligator as one of his patients! Noel now enjoys an active semi-retirement in Cornwall. He turns his hand enthusiastically to a wide range of endeavours from 'lollipop man' to school governor and Rotarian. He may be found working with the local writers' group, or travelling the world and being a guru to his many grandchildren.

What happens to us when we die? Does heaven really exist? If so, what does the afterlife look like? Although death happens to everyone eventually, we know little about the process and the only way that we can get answers is to talk to someone who is already there. Through channelled mediumship communication with a spirit called Battrick, this book attempts to answer some of those questions. The spirit world wants us to know that the essence of who we are does not die with our physical body. We are all spiritual beings having an earthly experience and the energy that is 'us' cannot be destroyed; this life is not all there is.

What we know about the Seventh Sense in this day and age in my experience suggests the mind is the ultimate correspondent between the past, present & future aspects in the known paranormal activity my restless mind appears to have move into another level of enquiries, such as how can we see and hear that which is beyond the five physical senses and today the six sense I am now concerned with the seven sense. When the physical mind becomes steady in the light nothing entering to upset the equilibrium becoming stabilised time stands still and through this process comes a perceptive awareness never before envisaged illuminating the mind with knowledge and wisdom in the natural world the above statement is called as imagination.

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.
