The Ancient Egyptians continue to fascinate people from all walks
of life. Of all the knowledge we have of their culture, the rituals
connected to death and the afterlife are the most compelling.
A modern guide to connecting with the other side, Signs is full of
stories of hope. It teaches us how to recognise and interpret the
life-changing messages from loved ones and spirit guides, by a
renowned psychic medium. Laura Lynne Jackson is a psychic medium
and the author of the New York Times bestseller The Light Between
Us. She possesses an incredible gift: the ability to communicate
with loved ones who have passed, convey messages of love and
healing, and impart a greater understanding of our
interconnectedness. Though her abilities are exceptional, they are
not unique, and that is the message at the core of this book.
Understanding 'the secret language of the universe' is a gift
available to all. As we learn to ask for and recognise signs from
the other side, we will start to find meaning where before there
was only confusion, and see light in the darkness. We may decide to
change paths, push toward love, pursue joy, and engage with life in
a whole new way. In Signs, Jackson is able to bring the mystical
into the everyday. She relates stories of people who have
experienced uncanny revelations and instances of unexplained
synchronicity, as well as others drawn from her own experience.
There's the lost child who appears to her mother as a deer that
approaches her unhesitatingly at a highway rest stop; the name
written on a dollar bill that lets a terrified wife know that her
husband will be okay; the Elvis Presley song that arrives at the
exact moment of Jackson's own father's passing; and many others.
This is a book that is inspiring and practical, deeply comforting
and wonderfully motivational, in asking us to see beyond ourselves
to a more magnificent universal design.

"Renaissance II" represents a synthesis of Christianity; the
philosophy of Plato; deism, which holds that God allows us to
determine our own destiny without his interference (except for our
access to grace), a belief held by Founding Fathers Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, and Franklin, and also by Lincoln; and certain
discoveries in quantum physics - all of which tend to suggest a
rational explanation of human existence and, to a degree, what the
spiritual goal of mankind might be.
The author had not seriously explored Plato's philosophy until it
was mentioned by a speaker at a business seminar. Because of the
intriguing manner in which his teachings on reincarnation had been
presented, the author made an effort to determine what the Bible
may have revealed regarding this particular subject. The most
startling disclosure he found was an emphatic, unqualified, and
unambiguous statement by Jesus that "John the Baptist was the Old
Testament prophet Elijah." In addition, there appeared to be many
other indications that tended to support reincarnation - Jesus'
prolonged discussion with Nicodemus regarding rebirth, for example.
On the other hand, there appeared to be only one contrary
indication: the statement that "it is appointed for men to die
once," and it is primarily this statement on which Christianity's
opposition to reincarnation has been established. (Curiously,
however, the first humans were not appointed to die, rather they
were endowed with immortality.) Another unusual result was to
emerge from this scriptural investigation: the author had convinced
himself of the essential principles of seventeenth-century deism, a
concept of which he had no prior knowledge.
Surprises were to continue, with further research establishing that
Christian theology had not been based on the revelations of Jesus,
or otherwise on Scripture, but "primarily on the teachings of
Plato" - with one significant omission: Plato's central principle,
reincarnation, had been ignored. Strangely, however, early
Christian history illustrated that a belief in reincarnation had
been openly accepted and disseminated by virtually all of the Greek
Christian Church Fathers, including the illustrious Origen, by
several bishops, and even by some saints - and we must wonder how
their canonization processes overlooked their having embraced this
pagan belief. In addition, reincarnation was being taught
essentially as doctrine in prominent Christian schools located in
Athens and Alexandria.
Also of significance is St. Augustine's prediction that Platonism
would "unlock the treasures of the faith," and we must wonder why
Augustine believed that certain Christian truths remained locked
up? In fact, it now appears that reincarnation may have been
"locked out" of Christian doctrine - not because of the
determinations of religious authorities, but by Roman Emperor
Justinian, who held no ecclesiastical powers and who, by historical
evaluations, was a personal disgrace by Christian standards. His
initial hostile action regarding reincarnation was to close the two
schools that had been promoting the belief. Also, it has been
established that he opposed a group called "Origenists;" however,
at that point the record becomes unclear. The final irony is that
religious scholars cannot determine that reincarnation has ever
been officially condemned by a Church Council, even though two such
councils, having met in 1274 and 1439, apparently had assumed that
reincarnation "had previously been condemned "
