This book includes full-color illustration, personality traits and descriptions of the genealogy races, it is the companion book to a Galactic Genealogy Chart, also included in the book. The Chart and booklet are designed to help you find out what your Galactic Genealogy origins are. I have listed them in alphabetical order. Since photographs are not taking of the Extraterrestrials, both the drawings from the experiencer's and the other illustrations are meant to be an example of the different races and beings that are in our Universe. Some of them have the ability to appear in your mind and memory as whatever they want, and this induced "image" has nothing to do with their real appearance. They may have you see and remember them as a human celebrity or family member. A ball of light, a gray, a dwarf or even animals such as deer, owl, dog, monkey, because they want you to remember that. Most of the time they may want you to completely forget anything about you're experience with them, so you think it's just a dream. So, we can never be sure that they really look the way we see them. I was asked in by my galactic family, in downloads and channeling to put this information together with full-color illustrations, descriptions of our family and special traits about ourselves. The illustrations and info have been accumulated from many people and sources. Dare to find out what you Galactic Genealogy is!

This volume sets out to re-examine what ancient people - primarily those in ancient Greek and Roman communities, but also Mesopotamian and Chinese cultures - thought they were doing through divination, and what this can tell us about the religions and cultures in which divination was practised. The chapters, authored by a range of established experts and upcoming early-career scholars, engage with four shared questions: What kinds of gods do ancient forms of divination presuppose? What beliefs, anxieties, and hopes did divination seek to address? What were the limits of human 'control' of divination? What kinds of human-divine relationships did divination create/sustain? The volume as a whole seeks to move beyond functionalist approaches to divination in order to identify and elucidate previously understudied aspects of ancient divinatory experience and practice. Special attention is paid to the experiences of non-elites, the perception of divine presence, the ways in which divinatory techniques could surprise their users by yielding unexpected or unwanted results, the difficulties of interpretation with which divinatory experts were thought to contend, and the possibility that divination could not just ease, but also exacerbate, anxiety in practitioners and consultants.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Information Security and Practice and Experience, ISPEC 2016, held in Zhangjiajie, China, in November 2016.

For millennia, people have universally engaged in ecstatic experience as an essential element in ritual practice, spiritual belief and cultural identification. This volume offers the first systematic investigation of its myriad roles and manifestations in the ancient Mediterranean and Near East. The twenty-nine contributors represent a broad range of scholarly disciplines, seeking answers to fundamental questions regarding the patterns and commonalities of this vital aspect of the past. How was the experience construed and by what means was it achieved? Who was involved? Where and when were rites carried out? How was it reflected in pictorial arts and written records? What was its relation to other components of the sociocultural compact? In proposing responses, the authors draw upon a wealth of original research in many fields, generating new perspectives and thought-provoking, often surprising, conclusions. With their abundant cross-cultural and cross-temporal references, the chapters mutually enrich each other and collectively deepen our understanding of ecstatic phenomena thousands of years ago. Another noteworthy feature of the book is its illustrative content, including commissioned reconstructions of ecstatic scenarios and pairings of works of Bronze Age and modern psychedelic art. Scholars, students and other readers interested in antiquity, comparative religion and the social and cognitive sciences will find much to explore in the fascinating realm of ecstatic experience in the ancient world.
