Book Description
Prof. Giuseppe Joseph Calligaris, an italian medical doctor who worked in the first half of the 19th century, had discovered that certain lines and points on the skin were related to the conscious and subconscious portions of the mind, and even to the enhancing of paranormal abilities. For over thirty years, Calligaris examined thousands of individuals, published about twenty books and discovered that the geometric system on the human skin could be stimulated in everybody to enhance clairvoyance, clairaudience, and precognition and retrocognition. He believed that our brain just may be a concave mirror for the Universal Consciousness. For his new research Calligaris was 'dumped' by the academic community after he demonstrated in several tests before professors that anybody can become capable of identifying objects on the other side of a wall, by pressing a specific point on the skin for only some minutes. Today the books of Calligaris are very rare., the majority of his materials are no longer available. This is the first book in english language, that helps you rediscover the potential which is hidden in all of us. Calligaris has proven, that the truth is just as near as our skin.

Science and Spirituality

Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 157

Book Description
This book is targeted to the millions who work with energy and the chakras, and it aims at giving you a scientific explanation to that ancient knowledge passed on to our generation throughout the centuries by the Masters. I, in fact, make a comparison with the discoveries of a scientist and nuclear physicist named Massimo Corbucci and the ancient knowledge that we use every day. I found it amazing to discover that the atom is made of seven colors, exactly the same as the chakras and in the same order as the chakras! The scientific explanations given about past lives, symbols, the power of thought, and being able to move in time and space are extraordinary. It continues with A Spiritual Path starting in Sae Babas Ashram in India and follows with extraordinary experiences on the Himalayas with His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, for the Kalachakra ceremony. Regressions in three past lives are described as well as those past lives seen by psychics. A large section is dedicated to my direct regressions into past lives, three directly experienced, and others viewed or seen by different psychics. It continues with The vibrations of prayers and The Mystery of the Senegalese Brooch and some very recent experiences with the Entities.

The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind

Author: Julian Jaynes
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
ISBN: 0547527543
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 580

Book Description
National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry

Politics of Kathy Acker

Author: Emilia Borowska
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press

Category : Electronic books
Languages : en
Pages : 278

Book Description
This study brings the radicalism of Acker's politics back to life. Moving beyond conventional accounts of her postmodernism, it explores her work as a continuation of the historical avant-garde and examines how she took moments and movements from modern history, including Russian nihilism, Spanish anarchism and the global revolts of the 1960s, to create her own political agenda. In doing so, it presents Acker in a new light: a revolutionary voice in an age when such voices are sorely needed.

Living Souls in the Spirit Dimension

Author: Chris H. Hardy
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1591433738
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 459

Book Description
An examination of our consciousness’s ability to pass between dimensions, both in life and after death, and how to communicate with spirits • Reveals that all beings exist simultaneously in the material dimension and in the soul hyperdimension and that our consciousness transcends death • Provides evidence that the deceased keep in contact with their loved ones and are able to visit them as apparitions, give them advice, and protect them • Offers rigorous scientific analysis of paranormal occurrences, including evidence of life after death, house spirits, near-death and out-of-body experiences, and communication with the souls of the deceased In this exploration of consciousness, after-death communication, and the validity of near-death and out-of-body experiences, Chris H. Hardy, Ph.D., a former researcher at Princeton’s Psychophysical Research Laboratories, reveals that all beings exist simultaneously in the material dimension and in the soul hyperdimension. During life, we can access the soul hyperdimension through heightened states of consciousness and dreams. After death, we cease to physically exist, but our consciousness continues on in the hyperdimension as a living soul, a complete personality able to perceive and even affect the material world. Through rigorous scientific analysis of psi experiences and surveys, the author shows that the deceased keep contact with the living by visiting them as apparitions, protecting them from harm, and even interceding to solve family problems or resolve their own unfinished business. She details her own psi and spiritual experiences, such as interactions with a house spirit, clairvoyance in lucid dreams, and her decades of communication with the souls of the deceased, including her own parents and scientific geniuses, and provides empirical evidence to support their reality. Moreover, Hardy offers tested methods for gaining access to the soul dimension and explores what can be accomplished there, including communicating with those who exist beyond our own matter world. Sharing her breakthrough understanding of the soul dimension as a hyperdimension pervading the universe, where our consciousness lives on after physical death, Hardy shows that we are all transdimensional beings and that the living souls of the spirit dimension welcome our interaction.

The Body's Recollection of Being

Author: David Michael Levin
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113579507X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 406

Book Description
This is a unique study, contuining the work of Merleau-Ponty and Heidegger, and using the techniques of phenomenology against the prevailing nihilism of our culture. It expands our understanding of the human potential for spiritual self-realization by interpreting it as the developing of a bodily-felt awareness informing our gestures and movements. The author argues that a psychological focus on our experience of well-being and pathology as embodied beings contributes significantly to a historically relevant critique of ideology. It also provides an essential touchstone in experience for a fruitful individual and collective response to the danger of nihilism. Dr Levin draws on Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology to clarify Heidegger's analytic of human beings through an interpretation that focuses on our experience of being embodied. He reconstructs in modern terms the wisdom implicit in western and semitic forms of religion and philosophy, considering the work of Freud, Jung, Focault and Neitzsche, as well as that of American educational philosophers, including Dewey. In particular, he draws on the psychology of Freud and Jung to clarify our historical experience of gesture and movement and to bring to light its potential in the fulfilment of Selfhood. Throughout the book, the pathologies of the ego and its journey into Selfhood are considered in relation to the conditons of technology and the powers of nihilism.

Addiction and Pastoral Care

ISBN: 1467452696
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 320

Book Description
A timely resource treating addiction holistically as both a spiritual and a pathological condition Substance addictions present a unique set of challenges for pastoral care. In this book Sonia Waters weaves together personal stories, research, and theological reflection to offer helpful tools for ministers, counselors, chaplains, and anyone else called to care pastorally for those struggling with addiction. Waters uses the story of the Gerasene demoniac in Mark’s Gospel to reframe addiction as a “soul-sickness” that arises from a legion of individual and social vulnerabilities. She includes pastoral reflections on oppression, the War on Drugs, trauma, guilt, discipleship, and identity. The final chapters focus on practical-care skills that address the challenges of recovery, especially ambivalence and resistance to change.
