This book tells the story of how and why millions of Chinese works
of art got exported to collectors and institutions in the West, in
particular to the United States. As China's last dynasty was
weakening and collapsing from 1860 into the early years of the
twentieth century, China's internal chaos allowed imperial and
private Chinese collections to be scattered, looted and sold. A
remarkable and varied group of Westerners entered the country, had
their eyes opened to centuries of Chinese creativity and gathered
up paintings, bronzes and ceramics, as well as sculptures, jades
and bronzes. The migration to America and Europe of China's art is
one of the greatest outflows of a culture's artistic heritage in
human history. A good deal of the art procured by collectors and
dealers, some famous and others little known but all remarkable in
individual ways, eventually wound up in American and European
museums. Today some of the art still in private hands is returning
to China via international auctions and aggressive purchases by
Chinese millionaires.

animada- de entre los cuales nuestras acciones o conductas eligen

Zen of Stars (Part 2) - Designing A Sane World - From 2009 until
2019 we will live through the plutonian decade of Pluto tearing
apart the structures of mankind. St.Clair asks: "If we can predict
the outcome, can we change it?" Zen of Stars addresses our special
relationship with the Cosmic age of knowledge, in which we design
our own destiny through a conscious interaction with the mystical
forces of Cosmos. Imagination is an important doorway to the part
of the mind that can view the future or the past. The soul as a
time traveler holds the key to understanding our true destiny.
St.Clair sees Reich's Orgone research, Tesla's free energy
inventions and a revolution in consciousness as the way to a
sustainable future as the 'age of deception' comes to an end. Zen
of Stars inspired two ground-breaking Project Camelot videos with
Michael St.Clair at Chillon Castle.
Zen of Stars (Part 1) - Advancing The Light - The "Master of The
Light" opens the true portals of time travel. St.Clair introduces a
new inter-dimensional mythology, navigating the inner passage to
the mystery within us. Core message: 2012-2020 will see the merging
of new realities, challenging us to adapt and change. Zen of Stars
clarifies everything, from hidden doctrines to unsolved mysteries,
as it discloses the purpose of Cosmos, while showing the futures of
planet earth. Part 1 of this two part work outlines influences of
astrology, while part 2 outlines practical solutions for a sane
world. Zen of Stars led to two ground-breaking Project Camelot
videos with Michael St.Clair at Chillon Castle. Returning from the
future, our own souls lead us through turbulent earth changes to
create a new way of living. St.Clair proposes that change begins at
a personal level from psychological to psychic, and goes on all the
way to the inter-dimensional levels.
Beyond disclosure, Light-Seeds unearths the oldest story known to
mankind: Earth has been visited by beings from other worlds since
the beginning. Extra-terrestrials have not only lived on Earth;
there are portals & dimensional crossings that are active now.
Many strange lights observed in the skies have a special interest
in Earth - some are "friendly" and some are not. Humans are the key
to their own destiny. How we navigate the next hundred years will
determine our future as a planetary species. Until 2024-25 we will
live through "The Winter of The 21st Century", which will mirror
chaotic societal changes to which we have to adapt from within with
clarity and purpose. By 2011 there will be many moments of highest
intensity on this planet. The world economy will have collapsed and
there is only a short time to be mentally transformed, spiritually
coherent and physically ready for this unprecedented
hyper-dimensional shift in our realities. Light-Seeds includes: Zen
of Stars and FORESEEN in one volume.

A new reality lies ahead of us: In the sequel to Zen of Stars,
St.Clair continues his timeless journey with The Master of Light.
Future space travel is accomplished through interdimensional time
travel. The soul activates the NewMind Technology, guiding us
beyond time-space and back to our true origins. St.Clair gives
essential astrological information connecting the mysteries of
Atlantis with the extra-terrestrial origins of mankind, and
predicts that it is our destiny to return to Cosmos. His
precision-guided prophecy reveals how timing of world events is
written in the stars. 2020 is the Capricorn planet alignment
changing the earth. By 2070, with Pluto in Aries, the human species
will be a unified teacher group and part of a new civilization.
This spell-binding book by the seer, designed with light-encoded
words, alters your reality and allows you to engineer your own
future. It answers the most fundamental issues facing mankind now.
This book examines the extraordinary changes that technology brings
and how these affect all of us and our families-at home, at school,
and at our work places-with profound consequences for society.
Twenty-first-century technology opens up fabulous opportunities,
but also changes how we relate to each other and warps our sense of
time, reality, duty, and privacy. Technologies and time-saving
devices make everything happen faster, with the result that we feel
busier than ever before. "Free time" seems in danger of extinction.
So Much, So Fast, So Little Time: Coming to Terms with Rapid Change
and Its Consequences provides fascinating insights about how our
changing world is changing our families and our personal
relationships; how we travel, behave as consumers, and communicate;
and how we entertain ourselves and deal with our anxieties. Written
in a popular, accessible style, this book describes seven areas of
significant societal change, providing concrete examples and
engaging stories to illustrate how drastically our right-now
mindset has shifted our perception and experience of the world. In
the last chapter, the author makes some practical suggestions on
how to take thoughtful action to respond to the onslaught of
inevitable change.
