The Guardians Earth Humans and...

Kwame Adapa

Who are the Guardians that monitor and guide all sentient beings and civilizations in this galaxy? Why was planet Earth selected as a special zone of experience for souls that had incarnated elsewhere in our galaxy? What is the Earth experiment, and why are there so many different human races on planet Earth? What is the ultimate purpose of incarnation on Earth? These and many other questions are addressed in this book.
In The Guardians, Earth Humans and Ascension, Kwame Adapa develops the story about the Guardians, their role in this galaxy, within our solar system and here on Earth that was first introduced his book The Akan, Other Africans & The Sirius Star System. This sequel goes into far greater detail about the Guardians and the Sirian-Guardians in particular, their role on Earth and their connections with the Akan and many other people in Africa, the Americas and Asia.
A significant part of the story includes connections between extraterrestrial groups and the major human groups across the world. This book also develops the notion that the Earth human prototype offers the potential for spiritual ascension for all beings incarnated on other planets prior to coming to Earth in order to transcend beyond polarity. Kwame discusses spiritual ascension as a gift from the guardians, and he introduces a number of spiritual paradigms and traditions on Earth that offer tools for developing a spiritual vehicle known as the immortal body, which has also been called the light body or the rainbow body.

Maharaji A Life Of Miracles

Sripad Jaganantha Das

Neem Karoli Baba known to his followers as Maharaj-ji - was a great Hindu guru, mystic, and devotee of Lord Hanuman. He is very well known outside India for being the spiritual master of a number of prominent Americans who traveled to India in the 1960s and 70s, including spiritual teachers Ram Dass, and Bhagavan Das, and musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal. His ashrams are in India, and in Taos, New Mexico. Maharaji was a lifelong adept of bhakti-yoga and encouraged service to others (seva) as the highest form of unconditional devotion to God.

There can be no biography of him. Facts are few, stories many. He seems to have been known by different names in many parts of India, appearing and disappearing through the years. His non-Indian devotees of recent years knew him as Neem Karoli Baba, but mostly as “Maharajji” – a nickname so commonplace in India that one can often hear a tea vendor addressed thus. Just as he said, he was "nobody". He gave no discourses; the briefest, simplest stories were his teachings. Usually, he sat or lay on a wooden bench wrapped in a plaid blanket while a few devotees sat around him. Visitors came and went; they were given food, a few words, a nod, a pat on the head or back, and they were sent away. There was gossip and laughter for he loved to joke. Orders for running the ashram were given, usually in a piercing yell across the compound. Sometimes he sat in silence, absorbed in another world to which we could not follow, but bliss and peace poured down on us. Who he was was no more than the experience of him. Here are his sublime life and teachings.

In the bluegrass fields of Kentucky, Anne Wilson and her siblings, Jacob and Elizabeth, grew up in the security and love of their family--and Jesus. But when Jacob died in a car accident, Anne was thrust into a painful journey of grief and soul-wrestling that led to God calling her to create songs that glorified Him.
My Jesus weaves together Anne's personal story of tragedy and the journey toward healing along with an encouraging message to anyone longing for God to wipe away their tears.
No matter what season of life you're facing, My Jesus comes alongside you to:Show how God can bring purpose out of lossOffer hope in the midst of heartbreakRemind you that God never abandons you
My Jesus will help you discover the beauty that can emerge from suffering as you read Anne's story of growing closer to the God who always makes a way.
Praise for My Jesus:
"I love how Anne Wilson invites us into the cracks and crevices of her life and how she built her life on Jesus. My Jesus is personal, and it takes you on a journey through some of the most foundational parts of Anne's life that develop into a large picture where it is so clear that God was the artist of it all. As I read through each page, I felt like I was at coffee with Anne, hearing her story."
--Sadie Robertson Huff, author, speaker, and founder of Live Original
"The song 'My Jesus' has impacted so many of our lives in such important ways. Reading this book, being in the moments with Anne and her family, and hearing her faith rise up when her heart was broken, Anne has told a true and deep story that we all need to read."
