Hi, it's me, Diana, with my notes from heaven. I'm letting you know how the Lord inspired me in my writings. The Lord is my great inspiration. I believe he give us great gifts to motivate and inspire people, to know his deep love and compassion for us, his dear children. Remember we are sons and daughters of our Most High God.

This is a 'Teach Yourself', as well as a 'Self-Help' book. 'Teach Yourself' because it presents the astrological background and required for understanding the simple, stepwise production and interpretation of natal charts using a computer. 'Self Help' because it describes an impartial method of generating Heaven's Message for each of us from the combined interpretations of matched epoch and birth charts as illustrated by those for Diana, Princess of Wales, and for Theodore Roosevelt, the twenty- sixth president of the United States. The book closes by suggesting ways of branching out from the natal studies into, for example, predictive relationship and political astrology.

More than half of American adults and more than seventy-five percent of young Americans believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life. This level of belief rivals that of belief in God. American Cosmic examines the mechanisms at work behind the thriving belief system in extraterrestrial life, a system that is changing and even supplanting traditional religions. Over the course of a six-year ethnographic study, D.W. Pasulka interviewed successful and influential scientists, professionals, and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who believe in extraterrestrial intelligence, thereby disproving the common misconception that only fringe members of society believe in UFOs. She argues that widespread belief in aliens is due to a number of factors including their ubiquity in modern media like The X-Files, which can influence memory, and the believability lent to that media by the search for planets that might support life. American Cosmic explores the intriguing question of how people interpret unexplainable experiences, and argues that the media is replacing religion as a cultural authority that offers believers answers about non-human intelligent life.

The world is in peril - and so are our souls. In this fresh reading of C. S. Lewis' science fiction trilogy, the members of the Cosmic Colloquy draw on their diverse backgrounds to create a commentary filled with observations, interpetations, and significance.

"In this book, Diana Senechal confronts a culture that has come to depend on instant updates and communication at the expense of solitude. Schools today emphasize rapid group work and fragmented activity, not the thoughtful study of complex subjects. The Internet offers contact with others throughout the day and night; we lose the ability to be apart, even in our minds. Yet solitude plays an essential role in literature, education, democracy, relationships, and matters of conscience. Throughout its analyses and argument, the book calls not for drastic changes but for a subtle shift: an attitude that honors solitude without descending into dogma"--Provided by publisher.
