Science and the Akashic Field: An Integral Theory of Everything
By Ervin Lazlo
An Excerpt
Before embarking on the search for an integral theory of everything, we should review the puzzles that are emerging in the pertinent fields of the sciences. We should be familiar with the unexpected and often strange findings that stress the current theories of the physical world, the living world, and the world of human consciousness, for only then can we understand the concepts that not only shed light on one or the other of these persistent domains of mystery, but also address the elements they have in common-and thus give us a new, more integral understanding of nature, mind, and universe.

As a psychic who feels called to help others connect with their own inner psychic, my role is to encourage clients to deal with their challenges, not escape them.

Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences in a Quantum Reality
By Dean Radin
Book Summary by Denise L. Dahl
The word "entanglement" was coined by one of the founders of quantum theory Erwin Schrodinger. It refers to the connections between separated particles that remain connected regardless of distance. These connections are instantaneous and operate outside the usual flow of time. This implies that seeing things as separate objects is in a sense an illusion created by our limited perception. Bioentanglement has to do with quantum connections with and among living systems. In fact, entanglement may extend to everything in the universe.
Developing the Psychic Profession
Commentary by Henry Reed
The Intuitive Career: How to Succeed as a Consultant, Reader, or Healer
By Cay Randall May
What can society expect from a professional intuitive? I think it is crucially important that psychics get it together to provide us with an answer. It would create the actual status of "profession" in the mind of society. What do psychics profess? We don’t know yet, but we’re waiting.

On Being Non-Attached to Outcomes
By Brandon Bays

Were the Atlanteans Neanderthals? Atlantis and the Kingdom of the Neanderthals: 10,000 Years of Lost History
By Colin Wilson
A Commentary by Noble Augusta On:
I would never have connected Neanderthal cave men with stories about the technologically advanced civilization of Atlantis. By the time I had begun the third chapter, I was out of my seat, reaching for my handy desk-top globe and world atlas. To anyone else who reads this book, I might suggest they get their own globe out, too.
Gifts of Healing
By Hugh Lynn Cayce
We might say that when an individual obeys the spiritual law which he knows, he will be drawn into the very environment and opportunities which make possible his greatest spiritual growth. ... So, when the group raises the atomic vibrations that make for the positive forces which bring divine forces into action in a material plane; those forces of a destructive nature are broken down by the raising of the vibration.
Your Immortal Reality
By Gary Renard
Book Review by Sidney Goodwin
Atlantic University
Your Immortal Reality much like The Disappearance of the Universe attempts to explain A Course in Miracles from the "good old common man" approach. Gary says that he is just a common guy, not all that bright, who just happen to have his future self, who wrote the Gospel of Thomas in a previous life, and a partner appear as physical forms in his living room and give him sage advice on spiritual principles to living in everyday life. Their banter adds color and some humor to the exchange that presses the message of A Course in Miracles that forgiveness is the key to awaken us from the dream of this world.

The Emotional Heart: The heart as an organ of perception and communication
By Stephen Harrod Buhner
A chapter excerpted from his book:
The Secret Teachings of Plants: The Intelligence of the Heart in the Direct Perception of Nature
The tendency for heart cells to entrain with one another, merely because of the proximity of their electromagnetic fields, extends to any electromagnetic field that comes into contact with them. Just as the electromagnetic fields of two heart cells cause them to begin beating or oscillating in unison, when the electromagnetic fields of two hearts come together, they also begin to oscillate or entrain to each other. But this phenomenon extends even further.

Plants and Their Spiritual Nature
An excerpt from
Aromatherapy for the Soul: Healing the Spirit wth Fragrance and Essential Oils
By Valerie Ann Worwood
Having a conversation with a tree might seem like a strange thing to do, especially when you live in a large city, a long way away from trees. But when actually out among them, it seems like the most natural thing in the world to do. I can fully understand why traditional Native Americans, when planning to cut down a tree to make a totem pole or boat, asked permission and gave thanks directly to the tree making the sacrifice.

The Power of Awareness
An excerpt from
The Mandala of Being: Discovering the Power of Awareness
By Richard Moss, M.D.
Any story you tell yourself about who you are, any belief you have, any feeling you are aware of, is only an object of your larger consciousness. You, in your essence, are always something that experiences all these and remains more complete than any of them. When you realize that you are inherently larger than any feeling that enters your awareness, this very awareness will change the feeling, and it will release its grip on you.

By Laurie Nadel, Ph.D.
An Excerpt from her book:
Sixth Sense: Unlocking Your Ultimate Mind Power.
The term "new science" was first introduced in 1964 by the late Nobel neuroscientist Dr. Roger Sperry (1913-1994).

RELIGIOUS LITERACY: What Every American Needs to Know
By Stephen Prothero
Books Summary by Rosemary Roberts
Americans are feeling outnumbered and threatened, not so much by foreign terrorists but by their fellow Americans. An atmosphere of faith-based paranoia permeates a portion of our cultural climate. Unlike the Europeans, whose educations have included a thorough steeping in religious studies, we do not -- cannot -- view religion objectively. Instead, we clutch our Bibles to our bosoms and with varying degrees of emotional fervor, proclaiming ourselves "a religious nation."
Breatkthrough!
By Alan Watts
An excerpt from his autobiography:
In My Own Way
The power of something so apparently simple-and so seemingly absurd-as mantra- and om-chanting is that it fosters a relaxed concentration on pure sound, as distinct from words, ideas, and abstractions, and thus brings attention to bear on reality itself.
Far Journeys
Ronald Russell
An excerpt from:
The Journey of Robert Monroe: From Out of Body Explorere to Consciousness Pioneer
The question of proof no longer concerned him and he had lost interest in taking part in controlled tests. Also, he found it had become very easy for him to move into the out-of-body state. Refreshed after three or four hours of sleep, he was ready to slip out, as it were, but what was there to do? Everyone else was asleep and he saw no point in purposelessly drifting around.

Inwardly and in freedom, we must choose to come together.
Relationships: How Are You Connected?
By Christian de Quincey
An excerpt from:
Radical Knowing: Understanding Consciousness through Relationship
This may come as a surprise to some people: You cannot not be in relationship. It is a fact of life. Yet so many of us spend a lot of our precious time and money trying to find relationships, or the perfect one. But after some reflection and clear thinking we come to recognize a basic, simple fact: We are always in relationship ... of some kind. It's part of the welcome package we get on arrival into this world. Every one of us—no exceptions—gets the basic package: a body, a mind, and relationships.
Renaissance II: Rebirth in the New Clear Age
By Donn O'Connor
A summary by the author
Edgar Cayce, a dedicated Christian, was somewhat dismayed to learn that he had, while in a self-induced trance state, made a statement referring to reincarnation, since he had considered the concept to be "the work of the Devil." Such would be a normal reaction, since it is not commonly known that Christianity's theological foundation, rather than having been based on sacred Hebrew documents and the oral teachings of Jesus, was established principally on the philosophy of Plato, and reincarnation represented the very foundation of Plato's teaching.
The Nine Powers of Dreaming

WHERE IS GOD?
By John Welshons

By Graham Phillips
Commentary by Noble Augusta
Imagine what it would be like for a small town of fifty to a hundred people to host Woodstock, every day for two thousand years with no reason for anyone, at any time, to feel the need for town safety. Let your mind get around a kind of Eden where everyone got along and folks lived in harmony with each other. Imagine this utopia is in every place of human habitation around the globe. OK, imagine something like Haley's comet streaking across the sky. Everyone would turn out to watch a magnificent star together.

Visionary experiences are forcing us to think in new ways, which may be the purpose of these events, leading humanity to "modify our basic ideas of how reality works." They are not designed to control us, but to confound us. Extraordinary experiences loosen the chains of fixed ideas and make room for new ones. Before a new system can be put in place, the old system must be deconstructed and abandoned.

By James Hollis. Reflections by Lorrie Kazan
Renowned psychoanalyst, Carl Jung, said, “We all walk around in shoes too small for us.” In other words, we tend to live lives proscribed for us, based on others’ expectations and fears rather than searching and diving into the disarray and disillusionment the might be required to find one’s true path.

In the second dream, Dickson foresaw an attempt on the life of the king of Saudi Arabia. When the assassination attempt took place, his prowess as a prophetic dreamer was confirmed.

A Commentary on Integral Consciousness, by Steve McIntosh
We have come from a primitive ape like creation to the sophisticated complicated creatures we are today. The environment we live in has changed right along with us or some may say we have changed right along with our environment.

Once again we are on the brink of something new.

What Is the Occult? (And What Is It Doing In America?) An excerpt from Occult America: The Secret History of How Mysticism Shaped our Nation, by Mitch Horowitz
News drifted back to the Old World: A land existed where mystical thinkers and mystery religions, remnants of esoteric movements that had thrived during the Renaissance and were later harassed, could find safe harbor. And so began a revolution in religious life that was eventually felt around the earth. America hosted a remarkable assortment of breakaway faiths, from Mormonism to Seventh-Day Adventism to Christian Science. But one movement that grew within its borders came to wield radical influence over nineteenth and twentieth-century spirituality. It encompassed a wide array of mystical philosophies and mythical lore, particularly the belief in an "unseen world" whose forces act upon us and through us. It is called the occult.

LESS At Work: Antidotes to Busyness; Finding More Calm, Meaning, and Productivity, By Marc Lesser
Our daily incessant busyness--too much to do and not enough time; the pressure to produce and tick off items on our to-do list by each day's end--seems to decide the direction and quality of our existence for us. But if we approach our days in a different way, we can consciously change this out-of-control pattern.

Appreciationg Yourself, by Robert Mack
An Excerpt from Happiness from the Inside Out
The root of much unhappiness is comparison. Comparison gets in the way of healthy self-appreciation — and thus happiness — more than anything else. Because of comparison, hardly anybody is ever happy with what they get and nothing’s ever good enough for practically everybody. That’s because we measure our success in anything by comparing it to what others have or to what we have had before
The Secret History of Dreaming, By Robert Moss
Book Summary by Charlotte Gallucio

Finding Possibility in the Midst of Adversity. An Excerpt from Healing Into Possibility, By Alison Bonds Shapiro.
What do we do when adversity hits? Is there a way to work with adversity that makes a difference and is it something we have influence over? The answer is yes. The way we approach whatever happens to us can have a profound affect on the outcome.
Another Little Peace of the Heart. An Excerpt from The Compassionate Life, By Marc Barasch.
I've wondered from time to time what happened in this primitive, instinctual tit for tat, a variant of any playground fight. Some kid pinches you, and you pinch them back: There, now you know how it feels! The word revenge doesn't quite cover it; in an odd way, it's more like enforced empathy, a need to make the other feel, first-hand and in rough proportion, the suffering they caused us.
Where Hides the Spirituality of Men? By Henry Reed
It used to be, when I felt like crying, I'd get angry instead. During the discussion of the aftermath of the devastation I had created by my anger, I would learn that I had actually been sad, lonely, or hurt, and wished I had realized that earlier. It took me many years to recognize the anger signal, to look within, and to discover my tears.
The Magician's Way: What It Really Takes to Find Your Treasure, by William Whitecloud
Imagine if magic was real. Life would be so wonderful. We would live in a constant state of awe as the things we loved and cared about manifested in totally unexpected ways and with no apparent effort. To me, magic is real. All of us can recall times in our lives when things went unbelievably well for us.

The Spiritual Anatomy of Emotion, by Michael A. Jawer (An Excerpt)
"I feel, therefore I am." If this formulation is correct, it can be rephrased "I feel, therefore I am a self." In seeking the origins of selfhood, then, we ought to begin with the sensory foundations of feeling.
When in Doubt, Make Belief. By Jeff Bell (An Excerpt)

Play, by Stuart Brown. Book Summary by Susan Parcheta
The impulse to play is a biological drive like sleep, food or sex. If play is denied over a long period of time, we tend to become depressed and unable to feel pleasure. A play deficit is like a sleep deficit. And, there is the same need to catch up or experience "rebound" play as there is for sleep.
The Universe, Reincarnation, and the Transformation of Humanity: An Interview With Christopher Bache, Edited by Stephan Martin
Imagine a spool of kite string that you're winding round and round. The soul-process of collecting and accumulating experience takes place over hundreds of thousands of years of evolution and reincarnation, and what's being wound around the spool toward the end is some of the most precious stuff in the universe -- human experience. It's very different, for example, than tree experience. As the soul winds more and more experience round itself, the system starts to glow until eventually it ignites. I think that's what the universe has been doing with us for millions of years, spinning us up on the inside, and now we're coming to critical mass.
Harry Houdini: The Ultimate Escape, by John Chambers
The escape artist's world-famous stunts, such as escaping from a box that had been nailed shut and dropped into the Hudson River in midwinter with Houdini manacled inside, were achieved through a skillful combination of mental acuteness, discipline, and brawn. Yet another side of Houdini was on display when, in the decade before his death, he made separate post-life pacts with more than twenty friends, providing each with a unique code by which that friend would be able to tell if Houdini were attempting to communicate with him after the escape artist's death.
What Is Consciousness? By Richard Smoley
We've been hearing a lot about consciousness these days. Scientists are trying to take it apart; magazines are reporting on it; theorists of all kinds are trying to figure out how it arises out of the brain. Unfortunately, you could read quite a bit about this subject without going away any wiser.
The Widsom to Know the Difference: When to Make a Change and When to Let Go, by Eileen Flanagan
The wisdom to know the difference between what we can and cannot change is central to my definition of a well-lived life. When we accept our circumstances, we spare ourselves frustration and anxiety, though we suffer needlessly when we put up with what we shouldn't. Too often, however, we get the equation backward.
A Novel, by Ray Cullis
"We have no secrets!" I shouted. "God knows all our secrets! God sees everything!" I glanced down from the pulpit at the right front pew where my wife, Christina, had sat during my sermons until that fateful Sunday two weeks ago. "And so, my fellow worshippers, next Sunday I will preach about...the secret life of God!"
What is God? By Jacob Needleman. An Excerpt: And What of God?
Every relatively normal man, woman or child has genuine experiences of the inner world of the Self. But in a culture such as our own, these experiences are not recognized as what in fact they are: namely, "messages" from the Self indicating what a human being is meant to be and what he or she can become.
The Resonance Key: Exploring the Links Between Vibration, Consciousness, and the Zero Point Grid.
By Marie Jones and Larry Flaxman.
An Excerpt: "What's the Frequency?"Remember those cheesy coin-operated vibrating beds that were all the rage in nearly every motel back in the 1970s? How about alphanumeric pagers that would vibrate when someone paged you? Has some heartless idiot ever driven through your neighborhood in the middle of the night "bumping" the latest rap hit? It seems like everything vibrates.
The Science of Happiness, by Ryuho Okawa. An Excerpt: The Principle of Happiness
The first principle of happiness is love. This love is not the kind of love that you expect to receive from others. The love that I teach at Happy Science is love that gives.3 The true nature of love that gives is based on awakening to the fact that all human beings are children of God and originate in him, and that you are essentially one with others.
Emotional Wisdom, by By Mantak Chia and Dena Saxer: An Excerpt
Why do we have emotions in the first place? Many of us experience them as a disturbance, something out of our control. But they're not simply a thorn in our side. They are natural energy responses to what we experience throughour senses. They're vital messages from our Soul, our higher self, to our personality or body.
Healing and the Creative Response: Four Key Steps Shared by Healers and Artists. By Rev. Cay Randall-May. Reviewed by Henry Reed

of significant historical events.
Kundalini Energy and Christian Spirituality
Book Digest by Fran Kramer
Imagine a high energy
electric current running up your spine, coursing through your body, making
your limbs tremble or feel the sensation of warm fluid flowing or bees
buzzing around in your head. For the average practicing Christian who
experiences such phenomenon, these scenarios most likely will be the outcome
because the vast majority of physicians, psychologists and average people do
not understand what is now being recognized as a world-wide human
experience, not just an exotic Hindu concept: kundalini energy.

Testimony of Light
By Helen Greaves
Book Talk by Gayl Woityra
There should be no fear of death, for the death of the body is but a gentle
passing to a much freer life. All Life is lived as a serial, that we go from
one experience of living to another experience of living at a different
rate, i.e., on a higher level of awareness. Much of what we thought
praiseworthy on earth is mediocre to us in the Light of wider knowledge, and
conversely much for which we blamed ourselves and were blamed by others, is
viewed here from a wider angle and even becomes merit!
