A very special contribution to our conscious evolution." - Barbara Marx Hubbard "Awaken is a spiritual experience that ignites that place deep within that has been yearning to be touched." -Patricia, CA "An enlightened message (this is “The” message) delivered by “awake” beings, as if they are speaking directly and personally to you...with expansive visuals and glorious music that captures the sheer joy of being...we truly ARE all we seek." -Barbara Morrow, Santa Fe, NM "Awaken is a beautiful, heartfelt “wake-up call” for humanity. It provides sustaining words of hope amidst the current chaos and catastrophe. It illustrates in a very illuminating and powerful way that we can all let go of our walls and limitations NOW, and join a global family consisting of empathetic human consciousness. The film blends stunning imagery with poignant documentary-style discussion, for a result that is both meditative and life changing. The message of the film is that we have what we need, right now, where we are. We don’t need to spend time, money, or resources to arrive at a better place. We only need to wake up to this new era. I anticipate that Awaken will become much more than just a film, but also a movement towards a more loving and sustainable Earth." -Jocelyn Godfrey, President, Spiritus Communications, Inc. "The air in the room crackled with energy and intimacy during the movie. The passion of the teachers was felt when they consistently reached out by making direct eye contact. It was as if each one was speaking to me personally and I felt known by the end of the film." Karyn, NY "This was a visually stunning movie, inspirational and a call to "wake up" to our higher self. The Awaken film, takes the approaching year 2012 from the perspective of personal and human/spiritual transformation. Through the words of visionary speakers and the breathtaking views of earth's nature, themes or invitations to openness emerge. These recurrent themes were of connection (our bio-energetic connection to everything and everyone), creativity, compassion, love, oneness and responsibility. With the expected cosmic shift, we are invited to transform ourselves." -Nancy Restrepo-Wilson, NJ "While watching the film “Awaken”, I could feel a powerful, magical energy filling the room – It was obvious that I was not the only one feeling energized and electrified listening to the Awaken teachers. The film has given me the next steps to take on my spiritual journey. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is on a spiritual path looking for guidance or anyone looking for greater spiritual awareness." -Jennifer Gilmore, NY ]]> Fri, 17 May 2013 16:36:23 -0700 3262-1304 http://www.ncreview.com/psychic-communication/what-to-do-when-youre-dead-a-former-atheist-interviews-the-source-of-infinite-being Dear Reader, Once I finished the manuscript, What to Do When You're Dead: A Former Atheist Interviews the Source of Infinite Being, sent it to the publisher, and signed-off on the final edits, I didn't touch it again for months. But one night I started reading it for pleasure, and couldn't put it down. What To Do When You're Dead is not only a book that touches your mind through your heart, but your heart through your mind. The riddles I work out with the Source of Being as my interviewee, will inhabit your imagination, enlarge your sense of yourself and the world around you. It will change the appearance of things and the boundaries between other things - like a stranger's body and the soul that inhabit's that body. Think of this book as "Conversations with God" (Neale Donald Walsch, Hampton Rhodes, 1995), but with a woman former atheist, science and technology writer for industry asking the questions. A reader who picks this book up will not sleep when they're supposed to; each page turn will wind the crank of your soul, drawing you deeper and deeper to an inner world of being. This being is that which lives beyond time and space, and dwells with spirit through the spaces between matter's molecular construct.

His interest took on a unique twist as a college student when he heard a lecture on near-death experiences. Though the phenomena fascinated the young man, he had no idea how common it was until some years later when lecturing philosophy. It wasn’t long before he decided to delve deeper and conduct his own research into the afterlife. Drawing on a lifetime of personal scholarship, Moody presents the common factors that people encounter during a near-death experience, such as difficulty expressing the emotional experience, hearing themselves pronounced dead, feelings of peace, strange auditory sensations, the feeling of being drawn though a tunnel and meeting a being of light. His revelations about this life and the afterlife are interspersed with his own philosophical thoughts and his personal trajectory through life, including a compelling account of his own journey into his past lives through hypnotic regression. Already renowned for his seminal work on reincarnation Life After Life Raymond Moody, along with author and expert on near-death experience, Paul Perry, brings a fresh perspective to the subject of death and the afterlife based on his own personal encounters. This is a thrilling journey to the edge of death and beyond. Whether or not you are new to the notion of near-death experiences, this book will change your perspective on death and dying. ]]> Wed, 08 May 2013 13:51:41 -0700 352-1300 http://www.ncreview.com/science-consciousness/the-field-the-quest-for-the-secret-force-of-the-universe I highly recommend this well-researched, well written book on the fascinating connections between science and spirituality. ]]> Mon, 06 May 2013 22:51:53 -0700 3212-1294 http://www.ncreview.com/science-consciousness/its-about-you-know-your-self It's About You! is the first book of a trilogy. This first book is about Knowing your Self and it aims to take you on a journey of self-discovery.

Part one of It's About You!: Knowing Your Self looks at consciousness and the non-physical you including chapters on reawakening to intent, formation of the non-physical you, and your natural powers.

Part three looks at the creational keys to your physical experience including your truths, your beliefs and your thought processes. Packed with information and advice on how to manage the key areas of your life, Johnson has written an astounding book that will really sing to your soul and help you to live a more joyful life. He draws on the teachings of 'channeled guides' including Seth, Abraham and Elias which makes for extremely interesting reading.

Wherever possible, authors Marie D. Jones and Larry Flaxman reference current scientific studies and research, providing additional insights into what might be going on behind the scenes in our mysterious world. In addition to déjà vu, some of the related areas covered include: out of body experiences (OBE), astral travel, prodigies and savants, fugues, blackouts, amnesia, schizophrenia, confabulation, ghosts, talking with the dead, and mass hysteria. While no specific cause of déjà vu is provided as generally agreed upon, many possible explanations are provided, such as the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum physics, malfunctions of the brain, ego defense mechanisms or forgotten dreams. This book is organized more in the form of a buffet table than a many course-meal, presenting ideas to readers in such a way that they can pick and choose from a rather wide variety of scientific expert opinions, experiential reports and theories. I particularly enjoyed the question and answer section featuring responses from Michael Schmicker, Pamela Heath, Stanley Krippner, Nick Redfern, Loyd Auerbach, Jay Alfred, Meghan Shannon, and Dale E. Graff to such questions as, "What role do you think belief plays in the manifestation of paranormal phenomenon?" Highly recommended! ]]> Mon, 15 Apr 2013 19:41:28 -0700 3055-1286 http://www.ncreview.com/astrology/a-guide-to-tarot-and-relationships Got this book as a gift! Love it! ]]> Sat, 13 Apr 2013 05:47:28 -0700 3187-1285 http://www.ncreview.com/psychic-communication/mind-matter-interaction-a-review-of-historical-reports-theory-and-research Splendid Summary of Psychokinetic Research Written by a medical doctor, Mind Matter Interaction tackles a subject of psychokinesis with scientific rigor perfectly balanced with the human desire to understand our mysterious universe. Carefully organized into historical and scientific research sections, Mind Matter Interaction first takes readers on a historical and cross-cultural tour through religious and spiritual accounts of such things as: levitation, stigmata, teleportation, bilocation, poltergeists, inedia, luminosity, mediumship, fire-immunity, hemography, and materialization and transformation of matter. After reading fascinating real-life examples of such a wide variety of mind matter interaction, the second major section of this book covers research and theory. Containing one of the most thorough reviews of current scientific study into the field of psychokinetic mind-matter interaction, some of the areas covered include: metal-bending, anomalous photography, random number generators, and poltergeists. The third major section of the book covers experiential research and tips for achieving a conducive atmosphere through altered states of consciousness, dissociation from ego identity, suspension of intellect, playfulness, peak emotion, focused awareness, trust in the process, and openness to the experience. Designed to stimulate curiosity and motivation for further study, Mind Matter Interaction opens a series of doors to experiencing the world in new ways. I love the way this book contains just the right amount of information to whet the reader's appetite for learning more. Pamela Rae Heath has created a first-rate psychokinetic primer which should be required reading for every high school and college general studies program. Kudos to McFarland Pub dot com for publishing such a valuable work of historical and scientific significance.
