What if there was a place in the universe, or in another universe,
where no evil forces, dark beliefs, negative thought projections,
energy blockages, or control issues were present? Is there a place
such as an intact field of light, benevolence, and love? In "The
Book of Origins, " author Ivonne Delaflor presents lessons she
received that propose a new vision of a universe, in which harmony
is seen not as something to fight for, but as a natural ebb and
flow of events through the choices we make. Throughout a period of
five years, Delaflor received more than five thousand messages
during conversations with her transpersonal masters. In this text,
she does not interpret the lessons but rather shares them in order
to help people form better relationships with their inner voices
and make sense of their spiritual experiences. A clear and readable
map for navigating the harmonic energy dimensions, "The Book of
Origins" supports humanity within the inner ascension process as we
evolve as species of consciousness in the here and now and beyond.
Ren Gunon (1886-1951) is undoubtedly one of the luminaries of the
twentieth century, whose critique of the modern world has stood
fast against the shifting sands of recent philosophies. His oeuvre
of 26 volumes is providential for the modern seeker: pointing
ceaselessly to the perennial wisdom found in past cultures ranging
from the Shamanistic to the Indian and Chinese, the Hellenic and
Judaic, the Christian and Islamic, and including also Alchemy,
Hermeticism, and other esoteric currents, at the same time it
directs the reader to the deepest level of religious praxis,
emphasizing the need for affiliation with a revealed tradition even
while acknowledging the final identity of all spiritual paths as
they approach the summit of spiritual realization. The present
volume, first published in 1958 by Gunon's friend and collaborator
Paul Chacornac, whose bookstore, journal (first called Le Voile
d'Isis, later changed to tudes Traditionnelles), and publishing
venture-ditions Traditionnelles-were so instrumental in furthering
Gunon's work, was the first full-length biography of this
extraordinary man to appear, and has served as the foundation for
the many later biographies that have appeared in French, as well as
the lone biography in English, Ren Gunon and the Future of the
West, by Robin Waterfield. Its translation and publication in
conjunction with The Collected Works of Ren Gunon represents an
important step in the effort to bring Gunon's oeuvre before a wider
public.
Annie grew up in a big, supportive family. She grew up happy and
confident with a strong faith in God. The darker side of the world
was never shown to her as a child, and as she grew into a bright
young woman, the darker side continued to remain hidden from her
view. When she earned a job at a nursing home, Annie felt lucky.
What a blessing to have a job that allowed her to help others on a
day to day basis
But soon, things went wrong at her new job. Suicides became
rampant among Annie s coworkers - women who had previously seemed
joyful and at peace. What could possibly cause such emotionally
stable women to take their own lives? When Annie meets her boss,
Benson, she begins to suspect he s behind it especially when she is
sexually harassed by this man who was supposed to be a guiding
force at The Lake View Hospital.
Annie soon learns of the darkness in the world. She learns that
bullying is not confined to playgrounds and schools; bullying
happens to adults, too, especially in the guise of sexual
harassment. Annie will not let Benson ruin her faith in the
goodness of people. With God s help, Annie will recover the lost
souls ruined by suicide. She will show them the light and save
herself in the process.

Engel and expertly crafted cocktails from mixologist Steven
Nichols. For thousands of years, witches young and old have

protection. All recipes include energetic properties and plenty of

and rituals to amplify their power.
"The guides, when they come, should bring great feelings of love.
This is the true indication that a high guide is present; there are
few else...The guides can only come in the space between two
thoughts - in that space between the in-breath and the out-breath,
that space that is the quiet pool or reservoir of the deep wisdom
within." - IAM IAM represents the wisdom in each of us, and is a
true teacher and friend. Written from a whole-brain perspective,
The Space Between Two Thoughts is profound and accessible to
individuals of all faiths and paths. With humor and compassion,
this text weaves over 70 healing transmissions with commentary,
dialogue, and easy to use Armchair Enlightenment exercises,
demonstrating that the spiritual and material planes are not
separate. What people are saying about IAM: "IAM's advice and
exercises have been very useful for my personal growth and mental
well-being." "IAM has made me realize that there truly is a higher
power, and it cares very much about every aspect of our lives, no
matter how small." "IAM tells us things about ourselves that are
really helpful and transformative in a way that no one else would
know. It gives us the clues or guideposts to help us transform and
evolve." A realization that I gained from IAM was the importance of
each person, each animal, every plant, every action, every moment.
We are all interconnected."
