Light Beings



Light beings
Are human beings turning into machines judging by the music young people listen to?

I used to like garage a bit of house and some light trance when I used to rave but I was listening to the music on someones phone the other day and it was some seriously heavy industrial noise that they liked. I’d imagine listening to that is the quickest way to get a migraine. It’s almost like human beings are turning into machines if they honestly think that is music.

haha heavy industrial noise ;-D
im not a fan of pointless noise either

trance is one of the bst genres, but for me its more 90s trance-early 2000s, after that is when all music got kinda stale, including trance
trance is much more calming, more ethereal and even spiritual than the ‘industrial’ stuff ;-)

Great Way of All Beings


Great Way of All Beings


$28.03


The Great Way of All Beings: Renderings of Lao Tzu is composed of two different versions of Lao Tzu’s masterful scripture Tao Te Ching. Part one, River of Light, is an intuitive, spontaneous rendering of the material that captures the spirit of the Tao Te Ching, but does not presume to be a close translation. Part Two is a more conservative translation of the Tao Te Ching that attempts as much as possible to stay with the words and images used in the original text. The words and images used in Part One leap out from the center to explore how the wisdom of the Tao touches us today. By contrast, the words and images of Part Two turn inward toward the center, offering a more feminine, receptive version of the material.

This is the story of Jonathan Smith, an average guy, who spent the majority of his life trying to find purpose and reason. The only real quest he had was for truth. He wanted more than anything to know who he really was, where he came from, and what would happen to him when he died. Jonathan had all but abandoned any hope of knowing such things when, through an unexplained occurrence, he found himself outside of time and space in a Realm of Thought and Light. Through his experience, Jonathan came to understand who he was. He once again was brought back into the knowledge of all the things he had forgotten. He saw and experienced the Entities of Light, the Beings of Light, the Light World, the World of Matter, the Entities of Self and so on. He learned the nature of good and evil and he came to understand why things appear the way they do. Jonathan, knowing he could stay in the World of Light, came back to share his story with us, that we might remember who and what we are. –Please visit www.laynelayton.com

Antonia Scott-Clark has been researching the modern "light orb" phenomena for the past several years and has come to some astonishing conclusions. She has been photographing orbs for many years but started photographing them in earnest from the year 2000 onwards. She describes herself as always having been an incurable roving paranormal butterfly flitting from mystical flower to mystical flower without settling for long on any one bloom until orbs, which she prefers to call Light Beings, entered her life. She took these very seriously and has conducted a private research into the phenomenon. The results of her findings are described in this book and also included are many of her spectacular photographs. With her friend, GoGos lead singer Belinda Carlisle, Antonia tells of her many adventures with orbs and answers such questions as: Can you see orbs with the naked eye?; Are orbs intelligent?; What are the Black Villages?; What is the connection between orbs and crop circles? And tons more. Antonia gives instruction on how to photograph orbs, and how to communicate with these Light Beings of the Cosmos.

Real Angels: Guiding Spirits, Benevolent Beings, and Heavenly Hosts


$18.6


Theologians and historians have observed that accounts of angels and spiritual beings are always very popular in apocalyptic writings and in periods of war, catastrophe, and political unrest, bringing news of the pending "end times." Scholars believe that a widespread sense of community crisis and periods of personal devastation seems to open the door for heavenly visitors. A spiritual "gap" develops, and angels rush to fill the void. The Leger Marketing Survey of Canadians of October 21, 2001, indicated that nearly 60 percent of the population of Canada believes in angels.On December 20, 2001, Scripps Howard News Service released its findings that one out of every five Americans believes that he or she has seen an angel or knows someone who has. A 2002 Gallup Poll stated that 72 percent of Americans believe in angels, compared to 96 percent who believed in God and 90 percent in heaven. Our fascination with heavenly beings has been going on for centuries. As early as the third millennium, the written records of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia recognized a hierarchy of supernatural beings that ruled over various parts of the earth, the universe, and the lives of human beings. All the great world religions have some kind of tradition of a guardian angel or a spiritual guide assigned to each individual human soul.Brad and Sherry Hansen Steiger have been collecting and investigating reports of close encounters of the angelic kind for 40 years, primarily from respondents to the Steiger Questionnaire of Mystical, Paranormal, and UFO Experiences. Thousands of contemporary men and women from every walk of life have reported their interactions with guardian angels and spiritual guides. Of the more than 30,000 respondents to the survey, 42 percent claim to have witnessed angelic activity; 52 percent believe that they have a guardian angel or spirit guide; and 38 percent say that they have had an encounter with a benevolent being of light. These participants generally describe the beings as appearing youthful, commanding, beautiful of countenance, and often majestic and awesome, frequently with manifestations of light.Drawing primarily from this survey, ‘Real Angels: Guiding Spirits, Benevolent Beings, and Heavenly Hosts’ relates these stories in 22 provocative and groundbreaking chapters that examine angelic encounters by type, including invisible defenders; meeting spirit guardians during near death experiences; grandmothers who act as guardian angels; benevolent healing visitors; shamanic and totem guides; and benevolent beings who intervene during crisis situations. Across all religious and international boundaries, ‘Real Angels’ recounts inspirational stories of guidance, rescue, illumination, healing, and teaching from spiritual beings who were quite separate from the men and women who received their wisdom and divine intervention.As ‘Real Angels’ demonstrates, the belief that angels are among us, indeed watching over us and at times

Lucy Aspra’s rigorous investigations are surprising in their revelations as well as their extraordinary ability to situate beings of light and entities of darkness in their due place. With Seres de luz y entes de la oscuridad, the internationally renowned angeologist concludes one of the most shocking investigations into the supernatural world in recent years. This work is preceded by Angeles y extraterrestres and Batalla cosmica. In this, the third volume, Aspra teaches us how to recognize the presence and actions of angels, the wonderful power of prayer, and the way spirits and extraterrestrial beings manifest themselves. She analyzes the purpose of subliminal messages and how to overcome some of their most damaging effects; she also details underground energies and dangerous deities, to close with a reflection on love and its vital energy. This work will undoubtedly shake readers and will serve as a warning that extraterrestrial witches and demonic possessions are very real.

 ASTRONOMY AND SPIRITUAL SCIENCE


ASTRONOMY AND SPIRITUAL SCIENCE


$47.49


ASTRONOMY AND SPIRITUAL SCIENCE collects writings on astronomy by Dr. Elizabeth Vreede and is a fascinating compendium of scientific and spiritual knowledge. Between September 1927 and August 1930, Dr. Vreede wrote a monthly letter, available by subscription, about both modern astronomy and classical astrology in the light of spiritual science. These letters include clear explanations of the fundamentals of astronomy and discussions of the role of astrology in the modern world. They also include inspiring presentations of a worldview that sees the stars, planets, and in fact all physical phenomena as manifestations of spiritual beings and spiritual activities. Among the many topics Dr. Vreede considers are the role of nutation, precession, and other movements of the Earth in human evolution and life; the comets; the relations of the heavenly bodies to spiritual beings; horoscopes; solar and lunar eclipses; and the deeper meaning of the Christian holidays such as Easter and Whitsun.

We are all spiritual beings engaged in a human experience. Separated from happiness and fulfillment, this is the true story of one woman’’s journey to find her voice. Through the help of a certified energetic practitioner and others, she was able to experience the message of love, light, possibilities and opportunity. Most of this story is not so much about learning something new as it is about remembering what we already know; we are created in love to love and be loved. The story encounters questions such as, Where is God? and the process of healing by ”loving ourselves into being”. Issues of balancing ego with spirituality, learning to ”listen with soft ears”, and ”fulfilling our life’’s purpose” are explored. This story is entirely about miracles; how God is as much in us as around us. Ask yourself, what do you really want? What is stopping you from getting there?

At the Water’s Edge


$15


At the Water’s Edge delves into evolution’s most dramatic transitions — the journey of animal life from water to land, and the return of some land creatures to the sea. In a story that encompasses four billion years, Carl Zimmer describes the changes — in bodies, minds, and living habits — that occurred as descendants of fish evolved to become a dynasty of animals ranging from dinosaurs and snakes to elephants and human beings. He then tells the mirror tale of how wolf-like mammals took to the sea and became today’s whales and dolphins.With first-person accounts by scientists in the forefront of these macroevolutionary studies, and detailed drawings of fossils, this entertaining, accessible book demonstrates how newly discovered ecological, developmental, and behavioral evidence is shedding new light on the patterns and processes of nature. Like The Song of the Dodo and The Beak of the Finch, At the Water’s Edge presents fascinating and authoritative answers to age-old questions.

 Baby and Child Heroes in Ancient Greece


Baby and Child Heroes in Ancient Greece


$43.35


In addition to their famous gods and goddesses, the ancient Greeks also worshiped deceased human beings, including child and baby heroes. Although these heroes played an essential role in Greek religion, Corinne Ondine Pache’s Baby and Child Heroes in Ancient Greece is the first systematic study of the considerable number of Greek babies and children who became enduring myths, objects of worship, and the recipients of sacrifice. Examining literary, pictorial, and numismatic representations, Pache opens up a vast territory once occupied by children such as Charila, Opheltes, Melikertes, and the children of Hercules and Medea. She elegantly argues that the stories, songs, and sanctuaries honoring these heroes express parental fears and guilt about children’s death. Pache further demonstrates that while the myths and rituals articulate basic human anxieties, their emphasis is ultimately on the beauty that transcends the gruesomeness of the narrative, turning their dread into poetry. By showing the continuity of child heroes in Greek religion, she is able to throw new light on iconographies that have previously defied explanation.

 Between Silence and Light

In the development of contemporary architecture, no one has had a greater influence than Louis I. Kahn, whose many buildings include the Salk Institute, the Yale Study Center, and the Exeter Library. He is remembered, however, not only as a master builder, but also as one of the most important and creative thinkers of the twentieth century. For Kahn, the study of architecture was the study of human beings, their highest aspirations and most profound truths. He searched for forms and materials to express the subtlety and grandeur of life. In his buildings we see the realization of his vision: luminous surfaces that evoke a fundamental awe, silent courtyards that speak of the expansiveness and the sanctity of the spirit, monumental columns and graceful arches that embody dignity and strength. Updated with a new preface, this classic work is a major statement on human creativity, showing us Louis Kahn as architect, visionary, and poet.

 Birth Without Violence


Birth Without Violence


$18.95


The classic guide to gentle birth that revolutionized the way we welcome our children into the world. – The first book to express what mothers have always known: babies are born complete human beings with the ability to experience a full range of emotions. – Shows how gentle lighting, a quiet atmosphere, and a warm bath allow a newborn to ease the transition from womb to world without trauma or fear. – New translation overseen by the author himself; also includes a new author preface. Birth without Violence revolutionized the way we perceive the process of birth, urging us to consider birth from the infant’s point of view. Why must a child emerge from the quiet darkness of the womb into a blaze of blinding light and loud voices? Why must an infant take its first breath in terror, hanging upside down as its vulnerable spine is jerked straight? Why must the infant be separated from its mother after spending nine months inside her nourishing body? Examining alternatives to technocentric approaches to childbirth, this classic text shows us how we can create an environment of tranquillity in which to welcome our children: a relaxed mother, gentle lighting, soothing atmosphere, and a warm bath that mirrors the child’s prenatal surroundings. Dr. Leboyer’s simple techniques show us how a birth without violence has far-reaching implications for improving the quality of human life physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

 Christ's Fulfillment of Torah and Temple


Christ’s Fulfillment of Torah and Temple


$24.77


Christ’s Fulfillment of Torah and Temple is a concise introduction to the Christian theology of salvation in light of the contributions of Thomas Aquinas. In this cogent study, Matthew Levering identifies six important aspects of soteriology, each of which corresponds to an individual chapter in the book. Levering focuses on human history understood in light of the divine law and covenants, Jesus the Incarnate Son of God and Messiah of Israel, Jesus’ cross, transformation in the image of God, the Mystical Body of Christ into which all human beings are called, and eternal life.Taking the doctrines of faith as his starting point, Levering’s objective is to answer the questions of both Christians and non-Christians who desire to learn how and for what end Jesus saves humankind. Levering’s work also speaks directly to contemporary systematic theologians. In contrast to widespread assumptions that Aquinas’s theology of salvation is overly abstract or juridical, Levering demonstrates that Aquinas’s theology of salvation flows from his reading of Scripture and deserves a central place in contemporary discussions.As a Thomistic contribution to contemporary theology, this fruitful study develops a theology of salvation in accord with contemporary canonical readings of Scripture and with the teachings of the Second Vatican Council on the fulfillment and permanence of God’s covenants.

 Heidegger Explained


Heidegger Explained


$28


Martin Heidegger s (1889-1976) influence has long been felt not just in philosophy, but also in such fields as art, architecture, and literary studies. Yet his difficult terminology has often scared away interested readers lacking an academic background in philosophy. In this new entry in the Ideas Explained series, author Graham Harman shows that Heidegger is actually one of the simplest and clearest of thinkers. His writings and analyses boil down to a single powerful idea: being is not presence. In any human relation with the world, our thinking and even our acting do not fully exhaust the world. Something more always withdraws from our grasp. As Harman shows, Heidegger understood that human beings are not lucid scientific observers staring at the world and describing it, but instead are thrown into a world where light is always mixed with shadow. The book concludes with a comprehensible discussion of the philosopher s notoriously opaque concept of the fourfold.

Human Diversity and the Culture Wars: A Philosophical Perspective on Contemporary Cultural Conflict


$119.3


Raising the war on political correctness to a new and higher intellectual level, Philip Devine sheds fresh light on the whole question of cultural standards and the fashionable notion of multiculturalism. While acknowledging the diversity of ways of life and the differing belief systems that arise from and justify those ways of life, the author attacks the current exploitation of diversity to justify a militantly intolerant relativism. His wide-ranging and erudite work connects cultural issues to our real-world existence as biological and historical beings, pulling together ideas of bioethics, education, and the structure and purpose of families. This work will be of interest to those fighting the culture wars across the humanities and social and behavioral sciences.

Intersecting Sets


$29.95


Poet Alice Major was given a book on relativity at the impressionable age of ten, so she never quite understood why science came to be dismissed as reductive or opposite to art. She surveys the sciences of the past half-century — from physical to cognitive to evolutionary — to shed light on why and how human beings create poems, challenging some of the mantras of postmodern thought in the process. Part memoir, part ars poetica, part wonder-journey, Intersecting Sets is a wide-ranging and insightful amalgam.

Journey Through the World of Spirit: God, Gaia, and Guardian Angels


$13.95


Journey Through The World of Spirit: God, Gaia, and Guardian Angels is the detailed near-death experience of David Oakford. Triggered initially by a fatal drug overdose, David became bewildered then frightened to find that we do not die. But instinctively he knew to pray to God and was soon rescued by a wise guardian angel he calls Bob. Specifically, David shares what he was shown concerning the life-after-death realms: heavens, light beings, dark souls, the life-force energy dynamics of our planet and its inhabitants, and the lessons-learned from a panel of evaluators. This clearly-written, plain-talking account of the life, death, and rebirth cycle provides much food for thought for all leaders and members of the world’s major religions to contemplate. The single truth that shines through this old, old story is this one realization: Love is the answer to life’s questions when all is said and done.
