You are my one and only love, the one I long for wherever I am, the one who completes me. You are my eternal complement carrying within you the potential for me to become whole, for us to become whole, for us to become one. Thus begins One, Beyond Time Meet Grace and Luke, created in Atlantis when one spirit is split into two using crystal technology and powerful spiritual rituals. Differentiated only by gender, they know everything about each other and nothing at all. After arriving in a culture as dark and corrupt as it is magical and enlightened, they become catalysts for the expansion of divine love throughout humanity and risk their togetherness to expose perverse manipulation of the masses. This is the first volume in the Love Hope Give series, a saga about love across lifetimes that leads to oneness despite dramatic detours and difficulties.

Beyond Time begins blasting off for the stars and ends an affair of the heart, all the while bringing us closer to home. Mankind has ventured to every corner of the galaxy. No one expects another inch. No one expected Andre Martin, lab rat genius, rude social nerd. His plan—build a ship powerful enough to separate time and space; visit, explore, and explain the Big Bang. No one likes Andre. No one trusts Andre.

Her friend Michael, robust and adventuresome, melts in the arms of the most unlikely rebel onboard. The journey does not go well. The clock refuses to spin backward. Computer meltdown also informs the crew that Karen secretly used dating software to match each of the 240 twenty-six-year-olds onboard with one perfect mate. A love boat of partners start looking around. Michael's girlfriend comes up with a plan. And who doesn't love a scary dinosaur tale, or a ghost ship mystery to solve? How about losing the entire universe and hoping to find it again? What more joyful excursion could there be than riding imagination from one end of the universe to another, from the beginning of time to the next beginning of time. Hop onboard. Andre and Karen are waiting.

Northern Peru has often been described as the Egypt of South America. Between Ecuador and Lima countless archaeological sites, ancient cities and unexplored ruins await the traveler willing to deviate from the Pan – American Highway and to see more of Peru than Cuzco or Machu Picchu. Near the capital, Lima, there is a small town by the name of Supe. From there, a side road goes to the ancient city of Caral. It is thought to be the oldest city in the Americas and one of the oldest developed settlements in the world. There is Egypt. There is Mesopotamia. And there is Caral, in Peru, which is more than 5,000 years old …

Dreams Beyond Time: On Sacred Encounter and Spiritual Transformation offers readers an overview of dreams research as applied to non-ordinary dreams. Lee Irwin describes four basic types of dreaming: normative, mythic, psychic, and transpersonal, and he illustrates each type with specific dream examples. These types of dreaming are then used as a lens to look more closely at additional dream types that indicate dreaming as a process of creative discovery. Through virtual dreaming encounters, latent human potentials are revealed and suggest aspects for spiritual development based on dream recording, interpretation, and analysis. In turn this leads to a metaphysical description that is pan-sentient, illustrating a vivid, living universe of process-becoming in which certain dream types reveal mythic, psychic, and transpersonal capacities as intrinsic to a deeper more awakened sense of intersubjective self-awareness. While dream theories from many diverse authors are explored, the author uses an existential and phenomenological method to analyze dreaming contents in relationship to altered states of mind, trance, out of body and near-death experience, meditation, imagination, and stages of lucid self-awareness. Transpersonal dreams are given considerable attention in relationship to mystical traditions, paranormal research, and the comparative anthropology of self.

Nelly Flowers has the same problems as any twelve-year-old. Homework; the anxiety that goes with moving to a new place; finishing her food; being kidnapped and dropped out of a self-destructing aeroship; being kidnapped again and taken to a secret prison underneath Death Valley where a shape-shifting madman plots the enslavement of the human race. Yeah, typical kid stuff. And if Nelly and her new friends can't outwit another Gnostagar invasion force, humanity will be grounded... forever.

Both Alexander Schmemann and Joseph Ratzinger insist that the human person remains shrouded in mystery without God’s self-disclosure in the person of Jesus Christ. Like us, Jesus lived in a particular time and location, and therefore time and temporality must be part of the ontological question of what it means to be a human person. Yet, Jesus, the one who has time for us, ascended to the Father, and the bride of Christ awaits his return, and therefore time and temporality are conditioned by the eschatological. With this in mind, the ontological question of personhood and temporality is a question that concerns eschatology: how does eschatology shape personhood? Bringing together Schmemann and Ratzinger in a theological dialogue for the first time, this book explores their respective approaches and answers to the aforementioned question. While the two theologians share much in common, it is only Ratzinger’s relational ontological approach that, by being consistently relational from top to bottom, consistently preserves the meaningfulness of temporal existence.

The covers of such magazines as Time and Newsweek have described parents as living in "mayhem” and "madness” with their children. TV’s Supernanny regularly captures kids wildly, unbelievably out of control. How did our families get to such a state? Child psychologist Dr. Beth Grosshans has the answer. And mothers and fathers everywhere are listening. In what is sure to become a much-discussed blockbuster, Dr. Grosshans reveals why she believes nearly a half-century of parenting advice--with its emphasis on talking, exalting children’s self-esteem, and time-outs--is largely to blame for today’s lack of discipline. Her innovative ideas and techniques challenge this prevailing culture, proving that power and authority are as essential as love and good intentions to effective parenting. She persuasively explains why kids can only grow up healthy and strong when firmly led by their parents’ experience and better judgment, and provides a clear, easy five step program to follow. She enables parents to look at themselves clearly and identify their child-rearing sty≤ they are often shocked to discover how their own behavior has inadvertently caused an imbalance in the family’s structure. Reading Beyond Time-Out is akin to sitting with Dr. Grosshans in her clinical office--and her core truths about healthy parent-child relationships are timeless.
