Ask Jesus - Discover a Faith...

James Doss

There are a whole lot of us, who secretly wonder as to why GOD doesn’t say yes more often. Statistically, it seems that there are some people, who seem to have their prayers answered a lot more often than others. While for others, heaven seems to be awfully silent towards their hard-pressed requests. By logical deduction you cannot help but wonder, “Does Prayer make any difference, does it change things? if so when, or how?”The answer is an overwhelming yes! Yes, Prayer does change things but it might not always bring about the changes we are expecting. GOD does not say “YES” to our every request, but desiring that HIS will be done before our own, changes us. Which is the most important change of all.

Cannabinoids and the Brain

Linda A. Parker

Parker describes the discovery of tetrahydocannbinol (THC), the main psychoactive component of cannabis, and the further discovery of cannabinoid receptors in the brain. She explains that the brain produces chemicals similar to THC, which act on the same receptors as THC, and shows that the endocannabinoid system is involved in all aspects of brain functioning. Parker reports that cannabis contains not only the psychoactive compound THC, but also other compounds of potential therapeutic benefit, and that one of them, cannabidiol (CBD), shows promise for the treatment of pain, anxiety, and epilepsy. Parker reviews the evidence on cannabinoids and anxiety, depression, mood, sleep, schizophrenia, learning and memory, addiction, sex, appetite and obesity, chemotherapy-induced nausea, epilepsy, and such neurodegenerative disorders as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's Disease. Each chapter also links the scientific evidence to historical and anecdotal reports of the medicinal use of cannabis.As debate about the medical use of marijuana continues, Parker's balanced and objective review of the fundamental science and potential therapeutic effects of cannabis is especially timely.

Health - Be mindful of your health

Dr. Denis McBrinn

This short audio presentation by Dr Denis McBrinn and narrated by Sara Dylan is designed to bring a clear understanding of what good health is, how to make sure you have it in your life, and to lead you gently into reflection on the level of good health currently in your life.

"To Lose One's Health Renders Science Null, Art Inglorious, Strength Unavailing and Wealth Useless" Herophilus 300BC How mindful are you about maintaining good health? It may be an old cliché that your health is your wealth, but it's true. The ancient Greeks knew that good health is something to develop and treasure.

It is easy to take our health for granted, until we lose it. Our whole experience of life can be very different if we don’t have good physical and mental health.

How this audio learning experience works
This audio presentation has been designed using an experiential learning model, Kolb, D. A. (1984): concrete learning, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation.
By taking this approach we hope to cater for all learning styles.
You will be given specific new information in the recording usually as “key tips”, “explanations” and “quotes”. You will be led through a gentle but positive meditative reflection process to assist you before conceptualisation and then putting your new skills into practice.
You will be encouraged to return to the recording from time to time to re-listen and reinforce your learning and the desired changes in your life.
Enjoy!

The Qabalah - Secret Tradition...

Papus

Papus (Dr. Ge'rard Encausse 1865-1916) was one of the great occultists of France, and was instrumental in developing and popularizing Eliphas Levi's earlier suggestions of a link between the Hebrew alphabet and the twenty-two trumps of the tarot. The Qabalah, first published in 1892, is particularly valuable because, along with his original theoretical explorations of the Qabalah, it also contains his complete translation of the Sepher Yetzirah, Eliphas Levi's famous Ten Lessons on the Qabalah, Rabbi Drach's important and rare treatise, The Qabalah of the Hebrews, and an extensive Qabalistic bibliography.This book gives a concise and valuable introduction to the sacred science of the Hebrews, and thus to the esoteric teachings of Christianity.
