My Crazy Uncle: A Translucent IdentityAn excerpt from the book: The Translucent Revolution: How People just like you are waking up and changing By Arjuna Ardagh"Trailing clouds of glory do we come, from God who is our home," wrote William Wordsworth. As preverbal babies, we experience ourselves as limitlessness. At one with what we see and feel, we have no need to define ourselves. We are both nothing and everything.

We can spend an entire lifetime trying to find a satisfactory ending to the statement "I am..." Educating IntuitionBy Robin M. HogarthBook Summary by Susie PedigoDoctors, waiters, housewives, teachers, plumbers and stockbrokers all use intuitive judgment. Everyone does.

Twelve Keys to Leading a Psychic LifeBy Lorrie KazanDon't worry about what other people think. Don't worry about fitting in.

May 1 – May 5, 2006During the first five days of May, 2006, eight people will join Henry Reed and his wife at a Civil War era Plantation house on a 3,000 acre working farm in the Blue Ridge mountains for a Creativity Revival, with the theme of "Caring for the Creative Spirit." Perhaps you will be one of those eight people. How do psychics find missing people, or solve murders?By Lorrie KazanPsychometry is often used to find lost objects and people and it's something you can learn. Psychometry is the ability to see with touch. A psychometrist holds an object in hand, or sometimes pressed to the forehead, and simply relates the impressions she or he receives. Solving a murder, the late Bevy Jaegers held a rock from the crime scene and was able to describe the gruesome events. The idea is that objects take on the resonance of what has been pervasive in their environment.

The Yoga of SoundBy Russill PaulMedical research now validates immense physiological benefits from chanting: lowered blood pressure, stabilized heart rate, improved circulation and the production of endorphins, which are body's natural painkillers and mood enhancers. The Inner Psychic: A Journey from Reluctance to Self-RelianceBy Darrin OwensAs 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. Accepting your true psychic nature means taking your power back and redirecting your life. That is why we are all reluctant psychics to some degree. We are afraid of the power and total responsibility that comes with owning our psychic potential. Asking for Psychic ReadingsA Memo from A.R.E. Staff to those who inquire about a recommendation concerning a reputable psychic From the perspective of the Edgar Cayce readings, each of us is our own best psychic. Whether the information comes from a hunch, an intuition, our dreams, or synchronicity, each of us possesses a wealth of internal guidance that can be drawn upon whenever we need it. In fact, the Cayce material suggests that our true natural state is psychic and that as we progress spiritually in our lives we will have more personal experiences with this psychic dimension of our beings. Still, there are times in life when we may feel the need to receive external guidance. Just as it is appropriate for individuals to seek out help from a doctor, a counselor, a minister, or a trusted friend, there may be occasions when we feel the need for intuitive information from a professional. How Memories and Dreams can Help us to Transform our LivesBy Andrea FlewI offered a friend who was going through a period of transition, an opportunity to practice developing intuition for guidance by engaging with memories and dreams to reflect and analyze guidance contained in their stories. I found the whole experience to be affirming of my potential to contribute to opportunities for the transformational process to progress. I felt I grew in confidence within myself to apply my skills in service with another. I became aware of skills and insights within that I am capable of practically applying to daily life and living that can serve my own and others' conscious awareness, growth in spirit and confidence to serve others. Developing the Psychic Profession CommentaryBy Henry Reed onThe 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. Exploring Beyond the Ego MindAn essay on Transpersonal Knowing By Jan KruyffThinking is a great human pastime. We all think. Whether it is about our next meal, how to manage our present problem, or where to vacation, we always seem to be thinking. Maybe we even pass all of our time thinking. But how often do we think about thinking, a thing that comes so naturally to us. How often do we consider where particular thoughts come from? Where are the limits of our individual minds? Do we ever consider that some of the contents of our minds originate outside of us? Healing Through PaintingBy Patricia SulllivanDuring my AU studies I took the course on the use of visual arts for healing. I loved it. It got my creative juices going. And it helped me get rid of some fears I had regarding expressing myself. Applied Remote Viewing: Project Blind AwarenessBy Jenna LudwigA man explained to psychic Carol Ann Liaros (who is Senior Trainer at the Edgar Cayce Institute for Intuitive Studies) that although he had been totally blind for over 41 years since the age of four, he could see the auras of those around him. This led Carol Ann to consider the prospect of teaching the blind to "see" through the use of their psychic abilities. The result was "Project Blind Awareness." On Being Non-Attached to OutcomesBy Brandon BaysOften, we become attached to something or someone because deep down we fear we would't be complete without them. We fear letting go into the presence of the unknown, and feel that we would be left bereft, lost, alone without that outer possession, person, lifestyle. We fear non-existence. Taking The Journey to Wild DivineBy Jed J BendixOne advantage "The Journey" has over other biofeedback devices is in teaching the effect emotional states have upon our body's rhythms. Some sessions ask you to raise your energy level while others ask you to bring it down. Enhancing the Intuitive Coping Style through Transpersonal Course Instruction:A Pilot Study by David W. Miller Abstract of Culminating Project for Atlantic University Many people are unaware of their inherent intuitive skills for dealing with the stressful situations of modern life. But others are aware of this intuitive transcendent phenomenon in the form of hunches and have learned how to sporadically use it. A few have learned how to trigger this intuitive skill and use it to cope with modern life. Your Immortal RealityBy Gary RenardBook Review by Sidney GoodwinYour 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 Heart’s CodeBy Paul PearsallBook Summary By Clayton MontezHeart’s Code illustrates revolutionary discoveries about the heart’s role in the scope of human healing and consciousness and that an application of the heart’s code will lead to better health, happiness and self-knowledge. The Emotional Heart: The heart as an organ of perception and communicationBy Stephen Harrod BuhnerA 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. Story of a Dream QuestDebbie BaileyAt the beginning of the dream quest program, I was concerned about the way in which I make decisions. I felt that most of my decisions were based on past patterns instead of free will. This concerned me so I focused on decision making as I began recording my first week’s dreams. Shapeshifting My LifeBy Susan K. GarrettThe most striking thing I notice about myself since attempting this writing exercise is the realization of what an extraordinary life I’ve had to this point and how guided I have been. I often think of myself as hum drum and everyday. But my life experiences have been powerful and extraordinary, and just what I have needed. Walking with the Wisdom of All TraditionsAn Interview with: Sage BennetAuthor of Wisdom Walk: Nine Practices for Creating Peace and Balance from the World's Spiritual Traditions People can learn ways to reduce stress and find balance in their lives from overworking and other addictive behaviors by following simple wisdom practices such as creating a home altar, meditating and finding peace, surrendering to prayer, forgiveness, letting nature be our teacher, visioning, learning to go with the flow, and service. The Power of AwarenessAn excerpt from The Mandala of Being: Discovering the Power of AwarenessBy 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. The New Science of ConsciousnessBy 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). It is based on the premise that your consciousness -- your point of focus which can be compared to a cursor on your computer screen -- can create physical effects in your brain as well as the other way around. Connecting with the Divine MatrixBy Gregg BradenBook summary by Joanne AaronsonHow do you know if you are connected to a higher power? First, let's agree on what to call this higher power often called God, but many words could be substituted. Dream Quest: Trust in Yourself. Let God Do The RestBy Joanne LattiakSo it was, having tried everything I could think of over the years to break free of the fear that was holding me back, I came to the Dream Quest hoping for new insights. I also came with a hefty skepticismdoubtful this would give me that long sought-after key to freedoms door. Experiments in Past Life RegressionBy Georgia EdwardsThe long and short of my past life regression work simply tells me to be responsible for my actions as karma builds way too quickly. I can only imagine what living without the possibility of not creating karma can be like. It has a peace of mind, warmth of heart and an easy serene mind. The Art of Remembering and Interpreting DreamsBy Judith Orloff, M.D.Whatever I am doing, I always hear my dreams echoing in a distant underground chamber beneath my thoughts and feelings, attuned to the rhythms of my body and the very substance of the earth. They are my compass and my truth; they guide me and link me to the Divine. They call out to me in an intimate whisper, always knowing how to find me. They speak my real name. Leaving Old Ways at Ease: A Story of a Dream QuestBy Drude ClarkThe Dream Quest guidebook says, "whatever question or problem you choose to work on it will reflect something about you and how you are responding to your life situation... Dreams do their best, it is assumed here, when you are doing your best, in your conscious life, to work on your problem yourself." I will have to handle my own baggage. Shoe Dreams on My Dream Quest Path: A Report on a Dream QuestBy L.S. KingOne might think the focus of my dream quest was all about my dilemma of which kind of hiking boot I should buy for a recent backpacking trip. Should I go with a cloth-based shoe that dries fast or a Gore-Tex lined boot that keeps the feet dry? But this was never really a dilemma. I knew I wanted the latter, even if the shoe salesman did not want to sell me a pair. The focus of my dream quest was a little deeper than the qualms of my shoe issues. The Importance of Being in "Now"By Joanne AaronsonIn order to be fully present and operating properly (fully and completely), particularly with our creative abilities in gear, we must focus our attention on what's happening NOW. The Journey from Childhood to Adulthood: The Importance and Limitations of Rites of PassageBill PlotkinContemporary, Western society fails us during the transition from childhood to adulthood. Too many people reach their physical prime without ever attaining psychological maturity. Put plainly, in today's world, growing up is hard to do. By Stanislav Grof Summary by Pat Clendenen Most of us in our ordinary state of consciousness identify with only a small part of who we really are. In nonordinary states of consciousness we have the ability to access a deep inner intelligence that guides us through the healing and transformation process. Mental Resilience: Develop the Focus of a Warrior and the Peace of a Monk. By Kamal Sarma Most people come to meditation thinking, or even fearing, that it is difficult. No matter how much some people rave about the benefits of meditation, many think it would be easier to relax by merely playing a sport, reading a book, grabbing a drink, watching TV, or doing any number of things that do not require much effort. Active Imagination: Anyone Can Do It, And Everyone Should Access the Miraculous. By Lorrie Kazan* Active Imagination is a life-transforming process pioneered by famed psychoanalyst, Dr. Carl Jung. It is a powerful tool to gain access into one's own interior life. With practice, it offers intuitives an added doorway to experience areas of psychic functioning. The Mystery of the Crystal Skulls: Unlocking the Secrets of the Past, Present, and Future By Chris Morton & Ceri Louise Thomas. An Excerpt Conventional wisdom held Atlantis to be nothing more than a myth. But Hunbatz Men had now told us that according to the oral traditions of his people the Mayans’ earliest ancestors had come from Atlantis, bringing the crystal skulls with them. Primary Perception: Biocommunication with Plants, Living Foods, and Human Cells By Cleve Backster. Book Summary by Susan Joseph Do you know that the plant on your windowsill is “in-tune” with your thoughts and “anticipates” your return home, or that the unfertilized eggs in your refrigerator, the bacteria in yogurt, and cells removed from your body also respond to thoughts and actions? The Secret Teachings of Plants: The Intelligence of the Heart in the Direct Perception of Nature By Stephen Harrod Buhner. Book Summary by Naomi MullenThis book not only gives guidance on receiving plant communication it also goes into intuitive information that can be derived from humans, animals, objects, and places. In addition it gives the linear mind knowledge that has been determined scientifically about physics and physiology that ties the information together. So this book is a "how to" of intuitive heart connection that also provides poetic and scientific support to give balance in the training of the heart and mind.. Lucid Waking: Mindfulness and the Spiritual Potential of Humanity By Georg Feuerstein. Book Summary by Debbie Leighton What does it mean to be in the state of Lucid Waking? Is it possible to be completely and totally aware of who we are both physically and spiritually at the same time? If we as human beings find this state achievable, then the possibilities for the existence of humankind are limitless. By Brad Tesh God, the Angels and your Spirit Guides are always willing to help you with an all loving embrace, all one must do is ask for help and be open to receiving it and so it is. By opening our spiritual intuition to these loving beings, we are able to find peace, healing, and experience blessings of all kinds.
The Value of Solitude* Although many cultures have long recognized solitude as an opportunity to look inward, in our culture we sometimes think that spending time alone is unhealthy. To be fully human we need relationships with other people, with the nonhuman world, and with our own inner depths Creating a Transpersonal Career, by Henry Reed, Atlantic University The story of Edgar Cayce tells us that there is guidance within us. It is fitting, then, that at Atlantic University, students not only learn to read the important literature, but they learn to meditate. In class they not only discuss their reading material, but they also pray for one another and learn to recognize one another within themselves. Their culminating work is just as often a project serving others as it is compiling ideas from books. Re-Discover the Divine within Your Intuition An ECIIS Home-Study Course by Keith Vonder Ohe. The Edgar Cayce readings emphasize again and again that personal spiritual growth and development needs to accompany the development of intuitive abilities in order for an individual to maximize the most healthy, creative use of these abilities. 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 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. When in Doubt, Make Belief. By Jeff Bell (An Excerpt) The author uses his personal experience living with severe OCD to offer a practical guide for the uncertainty that has become an inherent part of life in the 21st century, whether we have OCD or not. 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.
The
Practicing Mind:
Developing Focus and Discipline in
Your Life. By Thomas Sterner
As
when we were throwing tennis balls into a trash can, we should observe what
happens, process the information without emotion, and then move on. This is how
we should deal with ourselves as we work at learning something new, or when
we're changing something about ourselves that we don't like. This includes
working on something more abstract, too, such as becoming more
aware
or conscious of what we are thinking, becoming more of an observer of ourselves.
This disconnection from our thoughts and
actions is a way of thinking that we have learned during our lives, and one that
takes away all our real power. We must unlearn this approach to life.
Living
in the Light: 25th Anniversary Edition. By Shakti Gawain
By Gangaji
What is your story? You discover your story by noticing what you are telling
yourself over and over. Notice what you tell yourself about your past, your
present, and your future. In order to have any lasting impact, our stories have
to be told and retold. All stories have a narrative. Your narrative is what you
tell yourself through thoughts and images with accompanying emotions. What is
your narrative? You can check right now. It is bound to be familiar. By Lauren M. Prato
The
Art of Uncertainty: How to Live in the Mystery of Life and Love It
In our ongoing quest for self-improvement, we read books on a plethora of
topics we are certain we must master, from how to strengthen our relationships
and get our bodies in shape to how to find true happiness. Yet we forget that in
the face of all these challenges, only one thing is certain: uncertainty. Until
we can make peace with the uncertainty of life, we can not truly move forward.
Mastering Creative Anxiety
Many anxieties arise as you attempt to create anything: a painting, a new
recipe, a home business, or a solution to a personal problem. There is the
anxiety associated with going into the unknown, with relinquishing control, with
making choices -- innumerable anxieties arise as you endeavor to create, whether
that creation is something as grand as a novel or as everyday as a new filing

life change, reinventing themselves to live more vibrantly, healthfully and
creatively -- especially in the latter years of their lives. Becoming a life
change artist involves the same skills and creative process that great artists
use in their work. To sustain a creative body of work, great artists have seven
creative skills in common: Preparation for creative insight, seeing (connections
and possibilities), using context, embracing uncertainty, risk taking,
discipline, collaboration (engaging with others).
