Japanese Fairy Tales

Sinopse

This collection of Japanese fairy tales is the outcome of a suggestion made to me indirectly through a friend by Mr. Andrew Lang. They have been translated from the modern version written by Sadanami Sanjin. These stories are not literal translations, and though the Japanese story and all quaint Japanese expressions have been faithfully preserved, they have been told more with the view to interest young readers of the West than the technical student of folk-lore.

Medicine Miracles &...

John L. Turner

“A fascinating real-life voyage through medicine and beyond. . . . Intensely human and readable. Full of hope and wonder. A truly heartwarming page turner.” —Robert Bruce, author of Astral Dynamics and Energy Work

Medicine, Miracles, and Manifestations is a nonfiction narrative about the surgical career and spiritual quest of neurosurgeon Dr. John L. Turner and his journey into the field of Integral Medicine. During his career as a board-certified surgeon, Dr. Turner’s curiosity drove him to explore nontraditional healing techniques that broadened the scope of recovery for his patients, including energy healing, chanting and meditation (approaches historically found in religious practices), soul travel, and astral projection. In this fascinating book, you will discover:

• How metaphysical events such as remote viewing, telepathy, consciousness, and life after death are all verifiable manifestations of the way the human brain interfaces with the universal consciousness.

• That consciousness persists after the death of the physical body

• That our life is carefully planned before birth but there is an element of free will.

• That we can interface with a spiritual world and a collective human unconscious.

“I admire Dr. Turner for having the courage to share his life and truths with us. I truly recommend this book to every health professional and those willing to open their minds and accept the true nature of life. You will be touched by the stories he shares; his book can help you open your mind and become aware of new and exciting aspects of true healing and curing.” —Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of Love, Medicine & Miracles and Prescriptions For Living

The Actor

Haley Daniels

The Actor is a deep dive into the subconscious mind, an inner-excavation into the parts of self that go unrecognised, that seep through the cracks like black ink. As the blue-eyed blonde girl is forced to confront who is in the driver's seat. No different to a child believing strange shapes in the night to be monsters, only when brave enough to turn the light on can the illusion subside. 
There is a reason why people only call out for God during crisis or orgasm. The girl preferred to visit a gypsy than pray, that would require trust and she did not possess that. Perhaps that's why the gypsy told the girl that she had a cheating heart, sensing that she did not trust herself. Or rather, that she could not trust her shadow. A broken heart's quest for love will be marred by the thorns that have already pricked, and as the pair observed the souls of three men strewn across the tarot spread, it was clear that the issue did not lie with men. "I will give you six months," the gypsy said, "or what?" the girl nervously replied. 
The gypsy said coldly, "you will be lonely for a very long time."

Determined to piece together life from the brokenness, she sets out to uncover small instances of beauty to balance the delicate coexistence between love, motherhood, and a country so often at war. In an urban valley in Jerusalem, A Country Between captures the fragile ecosystem of the Middle East and the difficult first years of motherhood in the midst of a conflict-torn city. What unfolds is a celebration of faith, language, family, and love that fills the space between what was shattered, leaving us whole once more.
