Book Description
By now you probably know what telekinesis (TK) is. It's the ability to move something without actually touching it. Some people like "psychokinesis" better, I don't . Right off the bat, I can hear you say: "Telekinesis real? HAH! You're nuts!" Maybe you're right. Maybe TK is fake... maybe what happens is a gust of wind, or maybe a vibration in the table, or maybe... All I have to say to that is BLAH BLAH BLAH . You don't have to believe, no one is forcing you - but I recommend reading on anyways. You don't have to try the exercises, but just getting you to think "Hmmmm, maybe it is real?..." will be a good first step . I invite you to read my book .

Book Description
Working medievalists are often the only scholar of the Middle Ages in a department, a university, or a hundred-mile radius. While working to build a body of focused scholarly work, the lone medievalist is expected to be a generalist in the classroom and a contributing member of a campus community that rarely offers disciplinary community in return. As a result, overtasked and single medievalists often find it challenging to advocate for their work and field. As other responsibilities and expectations crowd in, we come to feel disconnected from the projects and subjects that sustain our intellectual passion. An insidious isolation even from one another creeps in, and soon, even attending a conference of fellow medievalists can become a lonely experience. Surrounded by scholars with greater institutional support, lower teaching loads, or more robust research agendas, we may feel alienated from our work - the work to which we've dedicated our careers. The Lone Medievalist (the collaborative community and the book) is intended as an antidote to the problem of professional isolation. It is offered in the spirit of common weal that marks the ideals (if not always the realities) of so many of the communities we study - agricultural, professional, national, notional, and of course, monastic. The Ballad of the Lone Medievalist isn't only about scholarship, or teaching, or institutional life, or the pursuit of new learning - it's about all of them. The essays in this volume address all aspects of the professional and intellectual life of medievalists. Though many of us acknowledge and address the challenges in being Lone Medievalists, these essays are not intended as voces clamantium; they are offered to provide strategies, camaraderie, and an occasional bit of inspiration. They are a call to action, a sharing of hard-won wisdom, and a helping hand - and, above all, a reminder that we are not alone.

Book Description

Book Description
I always hate reading the description on the back of a book; usually it reveals way too much of the plot. I mean what is the sense of finding out all of the plot twists ahead of time? Doesn't that remove too much of the suspense? But I guess some people (you know who you are) like to know what a book is about before they plunk down their hard earned currency. I prefer to just judge a book by it's cover. However some people find that idea distasteful, so for them and them alone I have encapsulated my entire text in three short sentences, enjoy. George is an ordinary man until something extraordinary happens to him. He must overcome this new challenge and the problems it brings. In the end he learns a valuable life lesson.

Book Description
The American comedienne Lily Tomlin once observed with surprise that we call it 'praying' when we talk to God and 'schizophrenia' when God talks back to us. In this book people speak about inner experiences in which they perceived themselves and the world so differently that they thought they were going mad. Experiences of existential voids, heights and depths, freezing wastes and silences, of pure energy, love and fear, oneness and chaos. They found no explanation in science or religion; traditional standards of normality and morality brought them no further than 'madness' and 'heresy'. From sheer necessity they learned to steer by a sort of inner compass, and began to tap unconventional resources. This gave their experience on balance the depth and dynamism of a spiritual transformation which they would not have wanted to miss. Since 1994 such spiritual crises have acquired an official place in psychiatric diagnostics, namely as non-pathological episodes. Knowledge and insight fall substantially short, however, both in professional circles and among the public at large. In this book the author shows how transpersonal psychology interprets such crises as the growing pains of human consciousness. This wider perspective transcends the traditional, individual frameworks of the life sciences, parallel to the earlier shift of classical mechanics to quantum physics. At a time that resounds with demands for meaningfulness, and which seems engrossed in a holistic model of reality, this book sets about giving a place within this perspective to the phenomenon of the spiritual crisis.

Book Description
In her final moments of life Betty connected with her daughter on another continent--setting in motion a chain of surprising and unexpected events. At the exact time Betty began suffocating in her hospital bed in Oregon, her daughter Annie began choking at work in England. Somehow distance no longer mattered and as Betty began to die she was reaching across the heavens to say "goodbye" to her youngest child. Seven days later after her death, extraordinary events began to happen. Annie felt her mother trying to comfort her at night. And this was just the beginning.... Empathically sharing in her mother's death had acted as a catalyst. Instantly, Annie's intuitive and psychic abilities dramatically increased, ultimately leading to a complete renewal of her faith. As a non-believer, Annie was completely transformed. She candidly shares her spiritual, paranormal and heavenly encounters, including verifiable after-death communications, seeing an angel, and "talking" with God. Annie's experiences led her on a journey of investigation. She consulted the world's experts on deathbed coincidences, near-death experiences and after-death communications, including: Dr. Penny Sartori, Dr. Pim van Lommel (author of the bestseller Beyond Consciousness), Dr. Peter Fenwick, Barbara Fenwick, Dr. Bruce Greyson, P.M.H. Atwater, and Barbara Whitfield. Talking with these experts confirmed that Annie's after-effects matched those of someone who had "seen the light" and had a near-death experience (NDE)--although it was her mother who actually died.

Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school, but she’s not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret—at least, that’s what she thinks… But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well…she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth, and she is forced to leave behind her family for a new life in a place that is vastly different from what she has ever known. But Sophie still has secrets, and they’re buried deep in her memory for good reason: The answers are dangerous and in high-demand. What is her true identity, and why was she hidden among humans? The truth could mean life or death—and time is running out.
