Within each of us lies the potential to activate a personal
connection to the superconscious. Called "Ureaus" in ancient
Egyptian texts and "Kundalini" in ancient Hindu yoga traditions,
our innate serpent power of spiritual transcendence inhabits the
base of the spine in its dormant state. When awakened, it unfurls
along the spinal column to the brain, connecting individual
consciousness to the consciousness of the universe enfolded within
the dark matter of space. At the root of creativity and spiritual
genius across innumerable cultures and civilizations, this
intelligent force reveals portals that enfold time, space, and the
luminous matrix of reality itself. Combining physics, neuroscience,
and biochemistry with ancient traditions from Africa and India,
Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D., explores the ancient Egyptian science of
the Ureaus and reveals how it is intimately connected to dark
matter and to melanin, a light-sensitive, energy-conducting
substance found in the brain, nervous system, and organs of all
higher life-forms. He explains how the dark light of melanin serves
as the biochemical infrastructure for the subtle energy body, just
as dark matter, together with gravity, holds the galaxies and
constellations together. With illustrated instructions, he shows
how to safely awaken and stabilize the spiritual energy of the
Ureaus through meditation practices, breathing exercises, and yoga
postures as well as how to prepare the subtle body for
transdimensional soul travel. By embracing the dark light of the
shining serpent within, we overcome our collective fear of the vast
living darkness without. By embracing the dark, we transcend
reality to the dimension of light.
In Enchanted Ground, Sharon Hatfield brings to life the true story
of a nineteenth-century farmer-turned-medium, Jonathan Koons, one
of thousands of mediums throughout the antebellum United States. In
the hills outside Athens, Ohio, Koons built a house where it was
said the dead spoke to the living, and where ancient spirits
communicated the wisdom of the ages. Curious believers, in homespun
and in city attire, traveled from as far as New Orleans to a remote
Appalachian cabin whose marvels would rival any of P. T. Barnum's
attractions. Yet Koons's story is much more than showmanship and
sleight of hand. His enterprise, not written about in full until
now, embodied the excitement and optimism of citizens breaking free
from societal norms. Reform-minded dreamers were drawn to Koons's
seances as his progressive brand of religion displaced the gloomy
Calvinism of previous generations. As heirs to the Second Great
Awakening, which stretched from New York State to the far reaches
of the Northwest Territory, the curious, the faithful, and Koons
himself were part of a larger, uniquely American moment that still
marks the cultural landscape today.

NEW SCIENCE / SACRED GEOMETRY "In showing the connection between
the Hermetic Code and the genetic code, Michael Hayes points to the
fact that the essence of evolution can also be found in religion,
and therefore in the realm of the evolution of consciousness. . . .
What he has discovered could be as important as the original
discovery of DNA. Like Jurij Moskvitin and Jeremy Narby, he has
created a new paradigm--that is, he is looking at our familiar
universe from a new angle and making us aware of magical
possibilities."--Colin Wilson, from the ForewordMany have observed
the distinct numerical patterns embedded in ancient philosophies
and religions from all over the world; others have noted that these
same patterns are apparent in many of the theories of
groundbreaking science. Michael Hayes reveals that there is a
precise code, the Hermetic Code, that connects these
patterns--information once known to ancient cultures but apparently
lost over time. Mirrored in the structure of this code are the
ordering principles of the universe and, intriguingly, also the
harmonic ratios of music. Our notions of what is harmonious in
music may therefore arise not from an abstract aesthetic sense but
rather as a response to an intuition of a fundamental cosmic
harmony.The resonance between biology and cosmology shows that life
is music, complete with "overtones"--nowhere more strikingly
present than in the helical structure of life itself: DNA.MICHAEL
HAYES is an administrator at the University of Central England and
is the author of The Infinite Harmony. He first recognized a common
link between all major religions and esoteric doctrines while
working in postrevolutionary Iran, where he was able toobserve all
the major religions practiced side by side. He lives with his wife
and family in Birmingham, England.
About 30 percent of hospice patients report a "visitation" by
someone who is not there, a phenomenon known in end-of-life care as
a deathbed vision. These visions can be of dead friends or family
members and occur on average three days before death. Strikingly,
individuals from wildly diverse geographic regions and
religions-from New York to Japan to Moldova to Papua New
Guinea-report similar visions. Appearances of our dead during
serious illness, crises, or bereavement are as old as the
historical record. But in recent years, we have tended to explain
them in either the fantastical terms of the supernatural or the
reductive terms of neuroscience. This book is about how, when, and
why our dead visit us. Allan Kellehear-a medical sociologist and
expert on death, dying, and palliative care-has gathered data and
conducted studies on these experiences across cultures. He also
draws on the long-neglected work of early anthropologists who
developed cultural explanations about why the dead visit. Deathbed
visions conform to the rituals that underpin basic social relations
and expectations-customs of greeting, support, exchange,
gift-giving, and vigils-because the dead must communicate with us
in a social language that we recognize. Kellehear emphasizes the
personal consequences for those who encounter these visions,
revealing their significance for how the dying person makes meaning
of their experiences. Providing vital understanding of a widespread
yet mysterious phenomenon, Visitors at the End of Life offers
insights for palliative care professionals, researchers, and the
bereaved.
Since the early nineteenth century, mesmerists, mediums and
psychics have exhibited extraordinary phenomena. These have been
demonstrated, reported and disputed by every modern generation. We
continue to wonder why people believe in such things, while others
wonder why they are dismissed so easily. Extraordinary Beliefs
takes a historical approach to an ongoing psychological problem:
why do people believe in extraordinary phenomena? It considers the
phenomena that have been associated with mesmerism, spiritualism,
psychical research and parapsychology. By drawing upon conjuring
theory, frame analysis and discourse analysis, it examines how such
phenomena have been made convincing in demonstration and report,
and then disputed endlessly. It argues that we cannot understand
extraordinary beliefs unless we properly consider the events in
which people believe, and what people believe about them. And it
shows how, in constructing and maintaining particular beliefs about
particular phenomena, we have been in the business of constructing
ourselves.

Although famous throughout Europe for his mind-reading skills,
Stuart C. Cumberland (1857-1922) was a staunch critic of the
'rascality' of some spiritualist practices and their practitioners.
He claimed that many of the seances and other events which he had
experienced were merely fraudulent money-making impostures. He
wrote several books on his life as a thought-reader, in which he
also revealed the techniques of fake mediums and psychics. (His
That Other World, of 1918, is also reissued in this series.) In
this 1888 work, Cumberland narrates his own history and career and
describes some of his most memorable seances. One of these took
place in the House of Commons, where Cumberland subjected none
other than the prime minister at the time, W. E. Gladstone, to
having his thoughts read. Their encounter made a great impression
on the author, who found Gladstone one of his most remarkable
subjects.

In 2008, Dr Eben Alexander's brain was severely damaged by a
devastating case of bacterial meningitis, and he lapsed into a
weeklong coma. It was almost certainly a death sentence, but Dr
Alexander miraculously survived - and brought back with him an
astounding story. During those seven days in coma, he was plunged
into the deepest realms of consciousness, and came to understand
profound truths about the universe we inhabit. What he learned
changed everything he knew about the brain mind, and consciousness
and drove him to ask a question confounding the entire scientific
community: How do you explain the origins of consciousness if it is
not a byproduct of the brain? In Living in a Mindful Universe, the
New York Times bestselling author of Proof of Heaven and The Map of
Heaven shares his insights into the true nature of consciousness.
Embracing his radically new worldview, he began a committed program
of personal exploration into non-local consciousness. Along the
way, he met Karen Newell, who had spent most of her lifetime living
the worldview he had only just discovered was possible. Her
personal knowledge came from testing various techniques and
theories as part of her daily routine. With Living in a Mindful
Universe, they share techniques that can be used to tap into our
greater mind and explore how the power of the heart can enhance
healing, relationships, creativity, guidance and more. Using
various modalities related to meditation and mindfulness described
herein, you too can gain the power to access that infinite source
of knowing so vital to us all.
The Wisdom of the Chakras is the result of Ellen Tadd's years of
spiritual exploration and counseling work. She shows how the chakra
system functions in everyday life, how our thoughts, words, and
actions affect this system, and how the chakras in turn shape us.
She also provides practical exercises that can be integrated easily
into daily life to heal each chakra and attain the alignment needed
for a healthy and spiritual life. The author describes each of the
seven chakras, their functions, and their individual and
interconnected qualities and components. Although each chakra is
discussed independently, each nonetheless functions as part of an
interdependent cooperative whole. As a result, the chakra system
offers a framework and the tools needed to understand numerous
common imbalances, individually and in combination, helping the
reader to integrate the various characteristics and create greater
harmony and balance in daily life.
