It's an art book...photos are great, they really show the quality
of the work...and you got Ray Bradbury. This will be a collectible
for sure, definitely a book to have in every collection... --Paul
Booth All of Me Is Illustrated is the first book to feature Ray
Bradbury's treasured stories The Illustrated Man and The
Illustrated Woman together alongside the most stunning tattooed
bodies of today. Bradbury's prose reminds us so wonderfully--and at
times violently and humorously--how foolish it is to assume the
origins and meanings behind a person's tattoos. Just as with
Bradbury's characters, the motivations of the featured collectors
and artists to ink (or be inked) vary. What is undeniable is that
their illustrated bodies are a source of pride, wonder,
titillation, and beauty, whether depicting the grotesque or the
mundane. With an introduction by tattoo collector and scholar Anna
Felicity Friedman, the result is a book that showcases masters of
their craft. Hardcover, 272 pages, 9.7 X 11.9 in., 127 photographs

This book is concerned not so much with the personality as with the
soul, with the inner dimension. It has no rigid framework and is
not over-concerned with precision. Step by step, it explores the
human condition from the point of view of the inner feelings. It
rejects planetary influence and points out the very beautiful
patterns of planetary synchronicity. Basically do-it-yourself, it
uses the symbols of astrology as a means of understanding our own
unseen dimension, our inner space. This understanding should
instigate a meeting between mind and soul; and help bring about a
further encounter between soul and spirit. Once achieved, this will
precipitate a spiritual journey previously only to be dreamed about
by saints, sages and seekers after truth: the hidden treasure that
has been sought ever since human-measured time began. Why settle
for less? Once the journey has begun, the symbols of traditional
astrology will be of little further use. The inner self is more
interested in realities. The diagrams include the birth chart of
Pak Muhammad Subuh, the founder of Subud.
Palmistry is not a science, nor is it a pseudo-science. It is an
art: the art of using the hand, or both hands taken together, to
symbolise the whole person. Forming a pattern unique to the
individual in every tiny detail, a person's hand can be seen to
represent his or her entire life, their personality, talents,
strengths and weaknesses, health, fortune and the fates which may
befall them. This book starts with the basics and presents the
subject in a way that is easy to learn. It will tell you all you
need to know to become a successful palmist, for fun or profit.
This book takes the reader through the entire gamut of dream
analysis and interpretation, with the emphasis on family life. A
family unit is a rather special entity, bound together by the
invisible bonds of intuition. Everybody is linked intuitionally at
a very deep level, but the family especially so. Intuition is the
means of knowing something about somebody else without having to be
told, without having to see or hear; it is the art of communicating
without words. One way to discover these golden bonds is by
remembering, recording and understanding your dreams: your own
personal dreams, your parents' dreams, your spouse's or partner's
dreams, your children's dreams. The more you study dreams, the more
important they are apt to become. Everyday dreams about everyday
affairs can grow and develop into something vastly more
significant. If you are studying your family's dreams, you may find
that their dreams too are becoming more important as time goes on,
as though they are keeping pace with your own personal dream
development. This is how they work. Our everyday thoughts and
feelings have to take a back seat as the 'dreaming cycle' kicks
into action and the hidden 'inner feelings', with their power of
intuition, explore the contents of those parts of our minds which
are normally unconscious.
There have been many books on the subject of dream analysis, most
of them repeating what has been written many times before, and many
of them of somewhat dubious value. Ray Douglas presents the subject
from a previously unknown perspective: from the point of view of
the inner feelings, also known as the higher emotional centre,
which, he claims, is the actual source of dream imagery. He has
been recording and interpreting dreams for many years, and has
experienced for himself all the types of dream mentioned in this
book. This is no small claim, for The Key to Dream Analysis
describes every known type of dream, as well as every piece of
information that may be useful in understanding our dreams.
Familiar dream symbols so beloved by authors of traditional
dream-books are not neglected here, but they are analysed in depth,
and the whole dreaming process is explained with clarity. As
Sigmund Freud pointed out, 'The interpretation of dreams is the
royal road to knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind'.
It pays to take our dream lives seriously.
This book carries the art of reading the hand to a new dimension.
Every person's hand is a map containing an incredible amount of
information concerning their life and character, their fate in the
past, the present and the future, and all this fascinating
information can be interpreted with ease once you know how. This
book includes everything you could want to know about traditional
palmistry with is focus on fortune telling, predicting matters of
fate and fortune, love, health, finance and success. It also deals
with every subtle aspect of human psychology as recorded on the
hand, intellectual, emotional, intuitional, and physical. Much of
the information, newly researched, has never been published before.
And more than any other book on the subject, The Handbook of
Palmistry delves deeply into matters of the inner self, the human
soul, and the undercurrent of life. It explains not only how
palmistry works, but why it works, symbolising through the palm of
the hand the movements of the life forces which govern the way we
all live.
Civilizations of the world are in a new phase of an ongoing
cultural meltdown and America is leading the pack. A revolution
typically begins with a relatively few people and grows as others
identify with the ideals, moving toward certain ideals or goals.
Like a cancer it spreads unless and until there is intervention. As
an example, the cultural upheaval of the 1950s and 1960s beginning
with Elvis cracking the walls of convention is addressed in this
book. However this current phenomenon is very different because it
has no direction, no identifiable goals. There is currently a
free-wheeling-anything-goes mentality raging throughout a large
segment of the population in America and the world seemingly based
on nothing more than how disrespectful, how weird, how physically
ugly, how vulgar, how offensive, how irresponsible and ignorant can
each individual be, and how much can each get away with? It strives
to obtain nothing positive. Coupled with this are generations of
Americans who expect everything and contribute nothing. Throw drug
and alcohol abuse into the mix and we have an attack from within
that is shaking the foundations of America. This has nothing to do
with race, it crosses all boundaries. It is a cultural problem.
America is under multiple attacks from outside. But possibly the
greatest threat is the disintegration from within. How many more
blows can America withstand? America is not going to fall off of
the face of the earth, but will you want to live in a second or
third rate America, or an America under the financial or military
control of a foreign power? This book suggests some possible ways
and reasons for offenders who are weakening America to straighten
up and flyright! Without intervention it is my opinion that America
is headed for a fall
