Sinossi

Lighthouse Ship Murders delves into the dark and largely unexplored history of violence aboard these isolated maritime beacons. It examines the psychological toll of confinement and the unique circumstances that led to murder among lighthouse keepers. These vessels, vital for navigation and often operating in military contexts, became stages for grim, real-life dramas far from shore. The book uncovers unsettling cases, revealing that the isolation, typically small crews, and occasional hierarchical military structure created an environment where interpersonal conflicts could tragically escalate.

The book progresses by first establishing the historical significance and operational details of lighthouse ships. It details the lives of the men who served on them. The core focuses on meticulously researched cases presented chronologically or thematically, drawing from primary sources like shipping logs and court records. These cases offer a true crime perspective on events, examining the investigations, evidence, and legal outcomes. The study of maritime crime shows how the psychological impact of isolation can lead to unexpected and violent outcomes in confined spaces.

Concluding with an analysis of recurring patterns, Lighthouse Ship Murders offers insights into the psychological and social dynamics that underpinned these acts of violence. It connects maritime and military history with forensic psychology, challenging romanticized views of maritime life. The book's narrative nonfiction style makes it accessible to a broad audience interested in true crime and historical analyses.

Spirit Voices - The Mysteries...

David J. Shi

Provides a clear and accessible guide to the many different North Asian shamanic traditions, past and present.What is shamanism? Where is it from? How does one become a shaman? What are the requirements to become one? Anthropologists tell us that the word shaman derives from the Tungus language and traditions, but few people understand the full scope of what that means. In his groundbreaking book, Spirit Voices, David Shi answers all these questions and more.Drawing upon his own ancestral traditions, Shi explores the history and practice of shamanism. He guides readers through what may be the unfamiliar landscapes of North Asia—the place where shamanism was born—as well as the largely hidden and unfamiliar traditions of Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungus shamanism, exploring the subtle and unique aspects of each tradition. Shi provides a clear and accessible guide that explores the many different North Asian shamanic traditions.So, what exactly is shamanism? David Shi suggests that the most accurate definition derives from shamanologist Nicholas Breeze Wood, who writes, “A shaman is someone chosen by the spirits [typically at or before birth] and who can go into a controlled and repeatable deliberate trance state, during which they A) experience ‘spirit flight,’ where they go to the spirit worlds and meet spirits, who they either fight with, negotiate with, or trick, in order to create change in this physical world, or B) are often taken over/possessed by the spirits (normally ancestral shaman spirits, or local land spirits) while in this physical world—the spirits using the shaman’s voice and body to heal, or give advice to members of the shaman’s community. Without the spirits and their blessing, a shaman cannot exist or function. Without the trance state, it is not shamanism.”Featuring history, firsthand experiential reports, mythology, and folklore, Spirit Voices explores the spirits, spirituality, tools, and practices of true shamanism, past and present. Shi also provides practical information for those readers seeking to implement shamanic practices, including those that are appropriate to noninitiates and outsiders to the culture. As the author points out, “the purpose of shamanism can be summed up in two words: coexistence and balance—coexistence with our spirits and our communities, and the balance that must be preserved between all of us and within ourselves.”

Kundalini's Grace Revealed in...

Dr. Kunwar Singh

‘Having supported many on the path of 
Kundalini awakening, I recognize the 
rarity of such a journey.’ 
From the foreword of this book, 
by Santosh Sachdeva, 
author of The Kundalini Trilogy 
What begins as a spark of bliss can turn into a raging fire, burning through the mind, the body and every illusion of control. In Kundalini’s Grace Revealed in the Light of Advaita, Dr Kunwar Singh offers an unflinching and compassionate account of the fierce process of Kundalini awakening, where despair meets ecstasy and fire becomes grace. Moving through visions, insomnia, agony and revelation, this book is both a memoir and a guide for seekers who find themselves lost in the intensity of spiritual transformation through Kundalini awakening. 
Guided by the Advaitic wisdom of his guru, Gautam Sachdeva, the author reveals how the storms of awakening can be anchored in clarity and surrender. The vivid prose and devotional poetry that surged impulsively from within him illuminate the union of Kundalini and Advaita, Shakti and Shiva, energy and silence, and devotion and dissolution. 
This is not a story of attaining powers or escaping pain. It is the story of being burnt clean, of learning to trust that by which the ego is destroyed—Kundalini—in order to reveal that which cannot be destroyed—the Self.
