Synopsis

Christmas Island, an Australian territory, serves as a microcosm for understanding global issues. This book explores the island's complex history, focusing on its strategic importance in resource economics and immigration policy.The story of phosphate mining on Christmas Island, for instance, reveals how a seemingly remote location became a key player in global trade, impacting the island's unique cultural and ecological landscape. The book also examines the ethical and geopolitical implications of using the island as a site for immigration detention, raising critical questions about national sovereignty and humanitarian obligations.The book provides a comprehensive historical context, tracing the island's geological formation to its present-day challenges. It begins with the discovery and exploitation of phosphate, detailing how this resource attracted laborers from various countries and transformed the island's demographics. Later chapters shift to Australia's controversial use of Christmas Island for processing asylum seekers.Christmas Island provides valuable insights into how resource management, migration control, and environmental sustainability are intertwined, making it essential reading for anyone interested in politics, history, and the challenges facing island communities in a globalized world.

    WISDOM FROM THE WOMEN HEALERS OF THE PSYCHEDELIC UNDERGROUND 
     
     
     
    The use of entheogens, or psychedelics, is out of the closet today. LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, and other medicines once associated only with the counterculture are now being legally studied for their healing properties. But as Rachel Harris shows, the underground use and study of psychedelics by women dates back to the Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece. 
     
     
     
    Harris interviews the modern women elders carrying on this tradition to gather their hard-won wisdom of experience. Any listener interested in inspiration, healing, and enlightenment will find here a wonder-filled narrative packed with provocative and perhaps life-changing insight.

    In this 2024 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Cynthia Jurs tells us of her 30-year worldwide trek to join elders, activists, and diverse communities to ceremonially bury Earth Treasure Vases around the planet in service to Gaia. As part of an ancient Tibetan practice, these clay vases are created and empowered to bring healing, stabilization, and immeasurable blessings when they are ceremonially buried in the earth. Cynthia Jurs was given her life assignment by Charok Rinpoche, a 106-year-old lama living in a cave in the Himalayan mountains of Nepal. Little did she know at the time that this would launch her on a 30-year worldwide trek to bury these precious vases in diverse and distressed places on the planet. These vases are said to be activators of Gaia acupuncture meridians and set in motion healing on many levels: socially, physically, and spiritually. For Jurs, this practice is deeply rooted in the feminine, honoring indigenous traditions, and the teachings of an embodied, engaged, sacred activism dedicated to global healing and collective awakening. Jurs describes her journey to a diversity of communities as indigenous peoples, elders, and activists joined her in a commitment to steward and heal Gaia, Mother Earth.
