(New York, NY) Dr. Howard Scheiner invites you to share his "I" ON LIFE, as he continues his highly personal journey of life and spirit. He offers his readers a distinctive, and even greater, understanding of universal truth as he enlarges his vision for happiness and a joy-filled life. Moving further than his last book, REAWEKENING, he adds new perspective and perceptions to self-awareness. Filled with enlightenment and wisdom, it is offered from the same point of intersection of science and spirituality called "belief." Through examples of his own life, readers are again given understanding and insight into their own personal journeys. A successful Manhattan physician, Scheiner awakes each day happy to be alive, feeling blessed with the joys and sorrows of his life, joyfully connected to All-That-Is and thoroughly savoring his singular journey. "How can the heart soar in the midst of personal struggles and a world in crisis? How can one savor blissful delight when emotional or physical pain takes hold? The answer is easy to state: when one recognizes that the struggles are only illusory and that apparent crisis is a perfect backdrop that offers opportunities for learning and growth; pain is a teaching, and we designed the course... The seemingly impossible task is to take the answer and believe it to be true." While most everyone has dissatisfactions, not everyone questions, nor recognizes that there must be a better way. He invites investment in a spiritual toolbox and offers his tools to do just this. He again bares his soul with a highly personal and sometimes humorous and often shocking "I" ON LIFE, enlarging his interpretation regarding the concept of "God/Universe."

Dream Walker is a novel based upon truth. What is truth and what is fiction for each reader will depend on how the information resonates with his or her emotional circuitry. The characters depicted and the situations described are a montage drawn from actual and fictional accounts. The story is not told chronologically; instead, it moves back and forth to different times in the life of Roger, the main character, as a part of this montage. It is through the description of his reactions to those experiences that the book attempts to show how it is possible to arrive at spiritual awareness through difficult, and sometimes even preposterous, circumstances. This is the story of a lifetime journey through our third dimensional physical reality on the planet Earth. It is all part of what is called the Grand Experiment of free choice on this beautiful blue sphere floating on the edge of this universe. The ultimate challenge is for us to find our way back through it all to our own spiritual selves, and who we are on the other side of the veil. This is one person's story about his dreams of romance and adventure through this earthly experience that somehow leads him to his own spiritual awareness.

Based on her personal search for life's meaning, Judy Binda's anthropological research on spirituality led her to write this ethnography. Without God's presence in her life, she would never have been able to overcome the many challenges she faced in her dual journey to grow both as a human being and a spiritual being.

In the first part of this work, through her encounters, Judy learns that her own spiritual path was mirrored in that of her contributors. She engages her applied research in the second part of her study in integrating traditional medicine and healers into Western clinics, in order to find solutions to improve the wellness of people and encourage Native spiritualism as a way of life. These ethnographic studies-conducted with those who walk their Native spiritual journey as spiritual seekers and the traditional medicine people and healers who have the ability to heal through spiritual guidance, traditional practices, and medicines-offer richness and benefits for those seeking different paths to wellness.

Have you ever watched the evening news and wondered why there is so much pain and destruction in our world? Have you ever wondered why so many bad things happen to seemingly good people, perhaps yourself?

So often, when something bad happens, it appears to be nothing more than meaningless suffering. But, what if your challenging experiences were actually loaded with hidden meaning, meaning that you yourself selected before you were even conceived? Could it be that you are the sole entity responsible for your circumstances, that no other source is to blame for your current state of affairs? We plan our life challenges before birth in a process called pre-birth planning, not for the mere principle of enduring pain, but for the personal growth that it affords our soul. Thus, human suffering has the noble purpose of teaching compassion as we each travel our own spiritual path.

Giving meaning to our suffering is vital to our growth as a whole. Understanding the adversity in our lives leads to personal acceptance, freedom and fulfillment. Feelings of fear, anger and resentment are replaced with the motivation to extract as much meaning as possible from each earthly experience. This shift removes us from the victim role and places us in the driver's seat of our own lives.

These true life stories have been happening throughout each of our lives and we are honored to share our uniqueness, as an individual and as a family entity, with you. We want everyone to know that you can and do have the exact type of life experiences that we have shared, and all you need to do is open yourselves up to listening to the quietness around you. You are loved and are important to our world. Go and be aware of your surroundings?do not be afraid of what is out there waiting for you. Live in that place where you can find your own uniqueness in this incredible life we have been given to live. We all need that special place where we love, laugh, and live without enduring ridicule or others? opinions. We should realize by now that no one can hurt us except ourselves, when we listen to closed-minded people. This is your time, and our world is growing in a rapid direction with the veil opening for our souls here in our earthly experiences.
