Book Description
A tale told by a dimension - a living consciousness to which some psychic minds are attune to. A tale about the Sicilian Mafia in the 18th century. The consciousness projects mental images of this period. Images of people, faces rarely distinct, in different situations. The opening words of Chapter 8 is one way to explain such projections: With night came a fierce storm with thunder and lightning and dark visions. Maria slept poorly, tossing and turning. The tale is developed to fit cohesively into those images. A tale about a Way of Life - not about organized crime. In the depression of the 1930s it was the gangster Al Capone who organized soup kitchens for hungry children in Chicago USA such a compassionate deed. Why? To aid the very poor is as much a trait of the Sicilian Mafia as are profits from prostitution. Prostitution always has been one of the largest sources of revenue for the Mafia. The Mafia Way of Life is not easily understood. One reason is that word Mafia is a modern invented word. This tale is about the people that became part of the Mafia in that period, about their background and what led them to accept this Way of Life. People like Pedro, an ox of a man and bodyguard; or Paulo, so talented and saving the life of a woman who would become his wife sets him on a path of no return; of Anastasia and Romeo, a high class prostitute and a killer who fall in love. Central to the tale is the seduction of the first Mafia priest which begins with mysterious notes slid under the church door. in a room full of women I saw her face When the Vatican hears a whisper in the wind young Sister Lucy becomes the key to solving the mystery what does Mafia want with our priests? Some still want the Sicilian Mafia to be a myth but read a modern researched book such as Into the Heart of the Mafia by David Lane and the question you may ask is not who in Sicily is Mafia but who is not? It is a Way of Life ancient in origin. The reader needs to bear in mind too that the original womans perfumes could only be made from an essence of a flower found on a tree that only grows in Italy. Thus the Most Elusive Scent mentioned all too often could have been the first true perfume ever discovered. Any wonder that scent had a powerful effect on men? And if we were to ask the Sicilian Mafia dimension what is the one word that can best explain Sicilian Mafia the answer is si. Italian for yes. Only a born Sicilian can say si and cosa nostra (our thing; our way) the Mafia way of saying those words. In Sicily there is even a Mafia (cosa nostra) museum and it is ever so popular with tourists!

Book Description
Beyond religion and enlightenment a dimension of life. Those with an interest in Buddhism or Islam or Judaism or Christianity, may find a Life in the Spirit. Beyond lay alien realms of life. Climbing higher, insights into heavens and the Dimension of Eternal Life – the incomprehensible God. But there is a problem. The Holocaust has wiped out Jewish Life in the Spirit and damaged others. One man is taught how to repair. In the man’s mind a diamond around his heart and a golden chain. Later it becomes clear that is a calling from the spirit. To such the spirit explains what he needs to understand. A more complex challenge presents itself: an eternal companion. As to what she is, however, is a mystery. The Dimension of Eternal Life is sensed, seen in the mind, and interactions in his eternity become possible. Can mortals gain insights into eternal life? A tale of eternal companions, Eternity, and how it comes together. To discern sense, which is not true telepathy, between any two people is hard enough. To do so with an alien source ever so hard. Mark’s eternal companion is a heavenly being, not a soul in the spirit. She needs two ‘bodies’, Helen but mostly Lisa, to assist her preparing Mark to understand he has been born into eternity already and she is his eternal companion - a soul mate. Kim also desires to experience human life in a simulated environment, in Life in the Spirit which can be an image of life in the real world. Some chapters go into the past and explain the effort of repairing Life in the Spirit over 40 years in the 'wilderness' (confusion).

The Diary of a Nose
Author: Jean-Claude Ellena
Publisher: Rizzoli Publications
ISBN: 0847840433
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
Hermès’ longtime master perfumer offers a rare glimpse into the mysterious, intoxicating world of creating luxury perfume. How does one capture the essence of emotions, of desire . . . in a scent? A scent has incantatory powers, capable of transporting you to your past, of kindling fantasies, of creating a vivid mise en scène—literally out of thin air. In the hands of the truly great, perfume creation is a kind of alchemy. Jean-Claude Ellena has a sublime gift. As parfumeur exclusif—or “the nose”—for Hermès, he elevates fragrance to an art form. A “writer of perfume,” his concoctions are as finely composed and evocative as a haiku. He is also a conjurer of sorts: “I create an illusion that is actually stronger than reality . . . you enter the scent and follow the path.” The Diary of a Nose is a collection of Ellena’s meditations on the world of scents, and what stirs his creation of some of the world’s most desired fragrances. Inspiration can come from anywhere—a market stall, a landscape, or even the movement of calligraphy. Though each smell has its own distinct character, a gifted perfumer creates olfactory experiences that are intensely personal and unique, that blossom on the body and leave a trace of us lingering after we have left a room. Seductive, delicate, and elegant as any of Ellena’s creations, The Diary of a Nose seeks to capture the most elusive facets of this rarefied and mysterious art.

The Smell of Fresh Rain
Author: Barney Shaw
Publisher: Icon Books
ISBN: 1785781146
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Smell is the most emotional and evocative of our senses: it can bring back memories faster and with more immediacy than a photograph – so why is it so little understood? Armed with a hungry curiosity and a willingness to self-experiment, author Barney Shaw goes in search of the hidden meanings of smells. Using plain words to describe what he finds, he investigates the chemistry, psychology, history and future of this underappreciated sense. Journeying around boatyards, perfume shops and memories, Shaw opens your nose to the world, breaking down "chords" of smells into their component notes and through them revealing new ways of understanding the spaces through which we move. An investigation into the biology, psychology and history of smell, and a search for effective ways to put into words scents that we instantly relate to, but find strangely ineffable, THE SMELL OF FRESH RAIN includes a 200-entry thesaurus of succinct descriptions of common smells.
