AS FOR TOMORROW, I CANNOT SAY: 33 YEARS WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS by
Diana Neutze
"I have written this, more than 40,000 words, with one finger in just over a month. It has flowed out of me so fast, I can only conclude that I needed to tell my story.” New Zealander Diana Neutze was in her late 20s, living in London with her husband and young son, when she discovered that she had multiple sclerosis. More than three decades later, wheelchair-bound and largely confined to her Christchurch home, she has told her remarkable story. Fiercely independent and passionately determined, she has fought the illness with every psychological weapon in her armory. Unflinchingly honest, deeply moving, often humorous,
As For Tomorrow, I Cannot Say is a tribute to the power of the human spirit.
REVIEWS in Brief:
"I am recommending it to young doctors because it contains insights into managing multiple sclerosis that they will not find in their textbooks."
-
Jon Simcock, M.D., medical adviser to the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand, Auckland, New Zealand.
“A manifesto of spunk...It is attractively written, witty, interesting, and sprinkled with poetry--which makes a successful book by anyone’s standards. But the best thing about this little book is that "victim" isn’t part of Neutze’s vocabulary. "
-
Janet Godfrey, Wanganui newspapers, New Zealand, April 23, 2002.
“This book is a revelation and an inspiration. Also, it’s often very funny....[it] deserves to remain in print forever, as a classic resource.”
-
Rachel McAlpine, Quality Web Content: 75 articles for web content writers and managers <http://www.webpagecontent.com>, Autumn, 2001.
“...a story of courage, determination and extraordinary creativity....written in clear lucid prose, with poetical insights and humor.”
-
Helen J. O’Neill, TAKAHE Literary Magazine, Christchurch, New Zealand <http://www.artists.co.nz/tnopofi.html>, December, 2001.
“Reading this book was a little like being carried along by some unknown force....In it Diana Neutze raises many of the issues with which people who have a chronic illness must wrestle. [They are]...all clearly articulated in this wonderful piece of writing.” -
Angela Allen, EREMOS Magazine, North Parramatta, N.S.W., Australia <http://www.eremos.org.au>, January, 2002.

FUTURE
PROSPECTS OF THE WORLD ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE CODE by
Joseph Noah
On the morning of the 11th of September, 2001, the world changed
with the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York. President Bush
described it as the beginning of a long struggle between good and evil. He was
right. According to the Bible Code, it was the start of a ten-and-a-half-year
countdown, the time and half time as prophesized in Daniel 12 of the Old
Testament and also described in the last book of the New Testament, The
Revelation to John.
The Bible Code brings a final warning to mankind. We have caused the current
sickness of the earth and it must repair itself to accommodate the coming Golden
Age. Two-thirds of us professing to believe in God have not yet developed the
godly character necessary to survive the coming cleansing process that is
described herein and by most religions of the world. The coming earth changes
can be either gradual, or abrupt and catastrophic in nature. If we don't change
the way we deal with each other it will probably be the latter. The Bible Code
tells us exactly what we must do to survive.
REVIEWS in Brief:
"Riveting
from beginning to end. This is an excellent, easy read, and a
must read for all....You will not be disappointed if you purchase this
book, I guarantee it!!!" - Dennis R.
Hoyer, Sterling Heights, MI, AMAZON.COM, Sept. 29,
2003.
"This
is a scary book in many ways, for it sets out to establish further
findings in the Bible Code index. It is also a guide to survival, and for
the readers of paranormal writings, it will prove interesting
reading." - Lee Prosser,
<http://www.ghostvillage.com>,
Sept. 4, 2003.
"This is definitely not a book for those who
are into light reading; its depth and focus are intense and eye
opening...For those of you that are into religious theology, this is
a must read, and would make a wonderful addition to your spiritual
library." - Ann
Findley, PAATHways magazine, May-June 2003.
"If you are interested in the Bible
Code I believe that this book is well worth reading....the
most important message...is that our society is in trouble and
that we all need to change and better ourselves soon." -
A Reader from New Market, MD, AMAZON.COM, May
20, 2003.
"Concentrates
mainly on searches for words contained in the Book of Revelation...A lot of significant new details have been
discovered in this book, particularly for the period 2010-2012." - EXODUS 2006

IN
SEARCH OF THE UNITIVE VISION: LETTERS OF SRI MADHAVA ASHISH TO AN AMERICAN
BUSINESSMAN, 1978-1997
compiled with a commentary by
Seymour B. Ginsburg
"If you want to pursue in a
Western way the path that we follow here at Mirtola, you need to study and work
with the Gurdjieffian teaching."
Thus did the guru Madhava Ashish, at
their first meeting, invite American businessman Sy Ginsburg on a spiritual
journey that would last 19 years (until the guru’s death) and include both
annual visits to Sri Madhava Ashish’s Mirtola ashram, near Almora, in
India’s Himalayan foothills, and a lengthy correspondence. Along the way, the
entrepreneur/author would not only be caught up in the teachings of G.I.
Gurdjieff, but also in the search for the elusive unitive vision—the world
viewed from the perspective of the greater Self and not the personality.
In this remarkable
spiritual document, the reader shares the search, increasingly catching glimpses
of the unitive vision as the book draws toward a close that is also an opening
out, into the vaster dimensions of the human mind.
REVIEWS in Brief:
"Generally,
the entire book consists of questions by Ginsburg on all kinds of topics
(e.g. synchronicity, theosophy, reincarnation, mediumship, Indian
philosophy, etc.) with guidance and opinions by Ashish. Ginsburg
comments regarding his own progress and related matters. " -
Yvonne Limoges, The Journal of Religion and
Psychical Research, April 2006.
"The value of this
book over and above any detail is that it carries an esoteric sense of
that legominism which is characteristic of Gurdjieff's own writing and
often missing in other G literature." -
Anuradha, The Mountain Path, Journal of the Bhagavan
Ramana Maharshi Ashram, India, Summer 2003.
“The last English saint...He came to India to repair spitfires, stayed to tame the inner fire.”
-
This Week of India.
"We need to be grateful to Ginsburg for persisting in his
questioning....These responses, always full of insight and sometimes wry humour, throw an impartial light on Theosophy, the Gurdjieff Work and Indian
spirituality”
- Ravi Ravindra, Ph.D., Chair, Dept. of Comparative Religion, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia,
Canada, published in QUEST, Journal of The American Theosophical Society,
Spring/Summer, 2003.
“The two strands of this narrative weave together to make a fine book....Sri Ashish is a constant presence throughout, guiding the author, certainly, but guiding us, too, through his answers to the constant stream of questions. George Gurdjieff is a second presence, guiding the author and us in similar ways, through the books he left behind and through the writings of his students.”
- DeWayne Rail, Stopinder: A Gurdjieff Journal of Our
Time, No. 11, Winter 2003.
"Particularly recommendable is Chapter 5, which appeared in
The American Theosophist of January 1979, entitled 'The Value of
Uncertainty' - Mary
Anderson, The Theosophist Magazine of India, August, 2002.
“Ginsburg is able to create an atmosphere of the palpable presence of the master by providing quotations from his letters and articles.” - Jagdish C. Nautiyal, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor, Dept. of Forestry, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
“...In a wonderfully accessible and articulate manner brings to us the teaching of an exemplary man as well as the record of a seeker’s developing
awareness.” -
Patricia M. Finkle, AMAZON.COM, Feb. 7, 2002.
“....Unitive vision towers above the rich and recognisable landscape of Sy’s quest....The stark challenge of Ashish’s insistence upon the development of an inner life and to seek within, primarily and ultimately, will strike every reader. This book’s message will remain in the mind.”
-
A Reader from Philadelphia, AMAZON.COM, Jan. 20, 2002.
“In this compact, highly readable collection lie innumerable pearls of practical and critical advice, focusing throughout on the uniqueness of man’s capacity to stand in the ‘awareness that he is aware.’”
-
Keith Buzzell, AMAZON.COM, March 3, 2002.

NEW
DAUGHTERS OF THE ORACLE: THE
RETURN OF FEMALE PROPHETIC POWER IN OUR TIME by Virginia Adair
In
the mid-1970s to mid-1990s, Virginia Adair traveled the world over to
interview 43 female psychics and healers in 15 countries on four continents.
Among the "new daughters of the oracle" she interviewed were:
Glennie Scott,
of London, England, whose healing of Barrie Stonehill’s poorly-functioning
bowel
meant that, over 20 years later, he still had not had to use his colon at
all;
Elvia Chaquinga Zurita,
of Mexico City, who heals people’s mental and physical ailments by
telekinetically transmitting their negative energy into the whites of eggs;
Greta Woodrew,
of Waynesville, N.C., who in minutes cured ballerina Virginia Rich Barnett of a knee
injury so severe doctors had told her she would never even exercise again.
At
age 55, this associate director of Atlanta’s Carl Radcliffe Dance Group was
still dancing;
Daphne Possee,
of Kent, England, who foresaw the Zeebrugge, Belgium ferry
disaster and the Pan-Am Lockerbie air disaster and foretold the beginning
and ending dates of 1991's Gulf War against Saddam Hussein;
Sema Oztemir,
of Istanbul, Turkey, who foresaw the emergency heart surgery of her
country's Prime Minister;
Joy Herald,
of Newark, N.J., who used her psychometric powers—the ability to sense the
identity of all those who have ever touched an object—to solve an otherwise
unsolvable murder case;
And 37 more.
What did these female psychics and healers have in common? How did they come by their gifts?
Do their growing numbers mean humankind has entered upon a new and higher
stage in its evolution? Virginia Adair offers answers to these and other equally
compelling questions in her acclaimed new book.
REVIEWS in Brief:
Lee Prosser, <ghostvillage.com>.
August 21, 2003.
"Adair is a highly inquisitive interviewer who reveals many things unknown to the
readers, and shares her findings in a well-written, concise, and enjoyable way."
"To me, this book stated clearly that all
life is connected by an invisible web, and that humility, compassion, and an
unselfish desire to assist others can bring forth near-miraculous abilities in
anyone." - Michael Peter
Langevin, Magical Blend, Issue 82, November, 2002.
"Join her as she
strives to incorporate all of this fascinating testimony and insight into a
worldview that may help to bridge the proverbial gap that exists between science
and religion." - Brent Raynes, Alternate
Perceptions Magazine Online, # 56, May 2002.
"...This
is a valuable book for any psychical researcher to read....Adair has, in fact,
produced a patterned tapestry of her own impressions, not a random sampling."
- Eugenia Macer-Story, Paranoia
Magazine, Issue 29, Spring 2002.
"Highly recommended for women's studies, metaphysical studies, and
alternative medicine reading lists and reference collections, New Daughters
Of The Oracle is an eye-opening look at the intercultural belief in human
psychic powers and those who claim to practice this gift." -
Midwest Book
Review, March, 2002.
"For an exciting, intriguing read, explore New
Daughters of the Oracle, which introduces groups of extraordinary women who have mastered their
arcane psychic craft " -
Berthold
Schwarz, M.D. (Psych.), The Journal of Religion and Psychical Research,
Fall, 2001.
"I'm not sure one can get an understanding of how psi
works by asking psychics how they do it, any more than you can get an
understanding of how science works by asking scientists how they do it,
but given a general lack of scientific interest in psi--which the
author, a portrait painter, bemoans--it's a good start." -
Patrick
Huyghe, The Anomalist (Best Books of 2001).
"These 40-odd women do not sit over mephitic vapors
issuing from a crevice in a Greek cavern...but they all do seem to possess the
same innate psychic abilities which the ancient pythoness would find amplified
while atop the tripod of Delphos." - Robert C. Girard, President, Arcturus Books.
"...one cannot help but be struck by the honesty of Virginia Adair’s
efforts to faithfully report her experiences..." -
Miles D. Storfer, Ph.D., president,
Foundation for Brain Research, author, Intelligence and Giftedness.
.
"Ms. Adair's journey into
the world of seers, psychics and what some people call the supernatural--which I
consider perfectly natural and part of human experience--is an eye opener to the
reality of the phenomena and experiences reported so faithfully by the
author." - Professor
Hans
Holzer, Ph.D, parapsychologist, and author of 126 books, including Ghosts
and Life Beyond Life.

THE CHINESE ROSWELL: UFO ENCOUNTERS IN
THE FAR EAST FROM ANCIENT TIMES TO THE PRESENT by Hartwig
Hausdorg
Like
his predecessor, Heinrich Harrer, who
spent seven years in Tibet, Hartwig Hausdorf has ventured, virtually on foot,
over many of the sacred places of the Far East. But his aim has been not to
discover his own soul, but rather to uncover tell-tale traces of an Alien Mind
which may have passed that way millennia ago, and may be passing by again. He
has sought out the fabled, forbidden 1,000-foot White Pyramid of Xian. In so
doing, he has stumbled upon the key to the ancient Chinese dream of material
immortality, a dream perhaps inspired by Alien Mind, and a key hidden in the
fabulous, mercury-filled tomb--chamber of the Emperor Shi Huangdi--a
tomb-chamber the possible excavation of which the Chinese government has kept
secret from the West. He has unearthed new facts about the mysterious stone
disks of Bayan Kara Ula, which some believe tell the story of a forced alien
landing 12,000 years ago. And he has discerned, in the prodigious
mind-over-matter techniques of the Tibetans, the Chinese and the Japanese, the
faintest whispers, still audible over the vast gulf of time, of an awesome
encounter which may have taken place on the sacred peak of Mount Meru at the
very beginning of man's time on earth.
REVIEWS in brief:
"Hausdorf presents us with some excellent
cases and scenarios--many of which are original and far-reaching--providing an
interesting mix of UFOlogy and parapsychology which can only broaden our
understanding of a previously unexplored area of the UFO phenomenon." -
X-FACTOR Magazine, No. 82.
"For all who wonder and desire to expand
their vision about the origin, purpose, meaning, and understanding of the UFO
problem, The Chinese Roswell by Hartwig Hausdorf is indispensable
reading." - Berthold E. Schwarz, M.D., author of Psychiatric
and Paranormal Aspects of UFOlogy. Alternate Perceptions, Winter,
1999.
"...An excellent, crackling good
read." - Robert C. Girard, President, Arcturus Books.
"If you aren't a fan of 'ancient
astronauts,' don't let that stop you from reading this book. The Chinese
Roswell covers a great deal of territory, something for everyone." -
Loy Lawhon, About.com, BORDERS.COM.
"The Chinese Roswell is
absolutely essential reading for all students of UFO and alien encounter
phenomena." - Wisconsin Bookwatch.
"...a doorway...opened into vistas
never before glimpsed." - Patricia Pereira, author of The Arcturian
Star Chronicles.

CONVERSATIONS WITH ETERNITY: THE FORGOTTEN MASTERPIECE OF VICTOR HUGO
translated with a
commentary by John Chambers with an introduction by Martin Ebon.
"Compared to the
soul-destroying banality of most séance texts, the Marine Terrace corpus
is a literary masterpiece, the unconscious product of a naturally dramatic
mind" (Graham Robb, Victor Hugo: A Biography, 1997).
From Aug., 1853 to Dec., 1855, while in political exile at Marine
Terrace, his home on the Channel island of Jersey, the author of Les
Misérables participated in numerous "table-tapping" séances.
At least 115 "spirits" communicated with him, his family, and
fellow political exiles. The group of alleged discarnate
entities included the illustrious dead such as Shakespeare, Plato and Galileo;
legendary animals like Balaams Ass and the Lion of Androcles; entities who
claimed never to have never been alive, like Shadow of the Sepulcher and
Death; a series of abstract concepts with names like India,
Metempsychosis, and Ocean--and aliens from the planets Mercury and
Jupiter. The first translation into English ever of the most important of
the transcripts of these séances, with an introduction by Martin Ebon
setting Hugo's channeling experiences in their historical context. Were
the séance texts only "the unconscious product of a naturally dramatic
mind"? Readers will decide for themselves.
REVIEWS in brief:
"...Truly
great and deserve[s] to be in every library, both public and
private." - Prof. Dr. Hans
Holzer,
parapsychologist and author of 126 books including Ghosts
and Life Beyond Life.
"Much praise is due John Chambers for
his masterful and accurate translation and incisive commentary." -
Lee
Prosser, <http://www.Ghostvillage.com>, August 14, 2003.
"[Explores] fundamental
questions of existence, e.g. do we survive death. And the answers to those
pointed questions that were revealed to the Hugo circle during his period of
exile from France are simply breathtaking." - Mark Newbold, AMAZON.COM,
April 17, 2003.
"Quite a surprise, quite a
delight." - Patrick Huyghe, Editor, The Anomalist. Winner of The
Anomalist Award for Best Books of 1998.
"Read it, love it, share it,
talk about it; most of all, have fun with it. This is a total adventure, and I
would have given my eyeteeth to be there." - E.T., NAPRA Review,
March-April, 1999.
"Reading this work allows
one to view the nineteenth century from a refreshingly multi-dimensional
perspective....with something that is strangely alive, pregnant with a timely
spiritual urgency." - Jaye C. Beldo, Fate, May, 1999.
"Remember that it was after
these experiences that Hugo wrote his remarkable Les Misérables.
Clearly the experiences on Jersey had a profound effect on Hugo's later writings
and thoughts. For those interested in Victor Hugo and his works, or in the
phenomenon of channeling, I would recommend this book." - John F. Miller,
III, Ph.D, Journal of Religion and Psychical Research, Vol. 23, No. 1,
January, 2000.
"Conversations with
Eternity is superb reading and a splendid addition to the growing body of
metaphysical literature..." -Sharon Stuart,
Midwest Review,
February, 1999.
"Challenging, memorable,
poetic utterances abound. The reader's journey is not easy, but much guidance is
given. Martin Ebon ("dean of writers on the Paranormal") provides a
useful historical introduction. John Chambers (the translator) does much to
define operating conditions, explain process, and analyze themes and development
in the conversations." - Peter Skinner,
Foreword, February, 1999.
"The book certainly convinced me that Hugo was a far more complex
and interesting character than I had previously realized. In short, this is a
serious and intelligent piece of work and should be worthwhile reading for
anyone with an interest in Hugo in particular or channeled communications in
general." - Lance Payette, Reviewer, AMAZON.COM, April 16, 2001.

FATHER ERNETTI'S CHRONOVISOR: THE CREATION AND DISAPPEARANCE OF THE
WORLD'S FIRST TIME MACHINE by
Peter Krassa.
Blavatsky, Steiner, Spalding, Strieber--all claim to have peered into the mists
of the past or future and to have penetrated into mankind's origins and his
destiny. In the middle decades of our century, an Italian Benedictine monk
claimed to have made just such a journey. His name was Father Pellegrino Maria
Ernetti. He was a priest and scientist and musicologist, one of the world's
leading authorities on archaic music. He claimed to have yoked the insights of
modern physics to the ancient occult knowledge of the astral planes to build, in
secret, a time machine--the chronovisor. He asserted that, using the chronovisor
as his eyes and ears, he had watched Christ dying on the cross and attended a
performance of a now-lost tragedy, Thyestes, by the father of Latin
poetry, Quintus Ennius, in Rome in 169 B.C. Many have disputed Father Ernetti's
claims, regarding which the Benedictine monk fell strangely silent in the last
decade of his life. They say this distinguished scientist-priest was not telling
the truth. But why would the brilliant Father Pellegrino Ernetti, so
accomplished in other fields that his counsel was sought all over Europe, be
driven to such a fabrication? This American edition of Father Ernetti's
Chronovisor, translated from the German, contains the first translation
ever out of Latin of the text of Thyestes which Father Ernetti claimed
to have brought back with him using the chronovisor. It, and other
newly-discovered documents, contain astonishing revelations. They make it
impossible to dismiss the claims of the strange, tormented and brilliant Father
Pellegrino Ernetti.
REVIEWS in brief:
"Venice-based Father Ernetti (1925-1994)
was an authority on archaic music, a scholar in Greek and Latin, a sought-after
exorcist, a confidant of the influential, and an object of questioning by the
Vatican and NASA. His work on the so-called chronovisor stemmed from his time at
Father Gemelli's electroacoustical laboratory at the Catholic University in
Milan from 1952. So writes Peter Krassa in his fascinating exposé of Ernetti's
life and work..." - Nexus, Aug.-Sept., 2000.
"Wow! Once you start reading Father
Ernetti's Chronovisor, you won't put it down till you've finished. It is a
first-rate, challenging mystery-thriller, not fiction but--whatever the true
explanation behind it all is--the 'real thing!'" - Berthold E. Schwarz, M.D.
(Psych.), author of Parent-Child Telepathy, UFO Dynamics, and
others.
"Peter Krassa's book is a well-researched
account of Ernetti's life and work that has garnered huge critical
acclaim....The book...offers insights into the lives of many of the great
figures within the world of 20th-century paranormal phenomena....an intriguing
account of one man's attempts to understand the secrets of the universe and his
own place within it. A riveting read." - X Factor Magazine,
early June, 2000, No.91.
"CERTAINLY A CULT CLASSIC IN THE
MAKING.
4 out of 4 Stars....a beautifully written literary-cum-fictional experiment, in
the Umberto Eco tradition....This style, while not 'stream-of-consciousness' or
collage, nevertheless juxtaposes many elements: an esoteric story, essays on
occultism, historical elements and technological myths.....we are treated to a
fascinating investigation threading through Edison, Edgar Cayce, Mesmer, and
even Whitley Strieber!" - Colin Bennett, Fortean Times, July,
2000.
"...investigative reporting of a
fascinating mystery. And, it helps the reader understand better where we stand
today by better seeing from where the spiritual movement has arisen. This is one
of the most interesting accounts I have read, and I recommend it for those
wanting to take an unusual reading trip." - Steve McCardell, The
New Times, Seattle, Washington, Fall, 2000
"Father Ernetti's Chronovisor is
a highly recommended biographical study for students of metaphysics, religion,
and science." - Midwest Review, April, 2000.
"The author describes other achronological curios such as
Baird T. Spalding's Camera of Past Events, the Secret School of Whitley Strieber,
as well as Edgar Cayce. Also, information on Thomas Edison's device to
contact the dead is described in this worthwhile volume."
- Jaye C. Beldo, Dream Network, Vol. 19, No.3.
"The second half of the book, while not quite so
spellbinding, may hold more interest for the discerning reader. In this section,
Krassa gives detailed summaries of many key figures in the paranormal
movement....All in all, this book is very entertaining at first, and fascinating
later on, but in the end I remain unconvinced of the reality of Father
Ernettis chronovisor." Janet Brennan, Fate,
November, 2000.
"This updated American edition leaves no stone unturned and is a
comprehensive wealth of knowledge. Each chapter is a story within this
multifaceted work; both newcomers and serious students of occultism will be
impressed by Peter Krassa's well researched and refreshingly unbiased study into
time and space." - Kyles, Psychic Interactive, No. 4
(Australia).
"Besides the fascinating work of Father
Ernetti, Krassa includes intriguing study of other time and space manipulators,
from Madame Blavatsky to Thomas Edison. So rev up your astral fluid for a
titillating journey into the ether." - Linda Fleischman, Magical Blend,
Issue # 72.
"...there is genuine wonder why such an
otherwise accomplished individual as Father Ernetti would have fabricated
such a bizarre fantasy or hoax. A curious book, and a book for the
curious." - Robert C. Girard, President, Arcturus Books.
"Ernetti is no visionary or magician, but
a highly regarded scientist, an authority on prepolyphonic music, a professor,
and the director of the Italian Secretariat of Religious Instruction of Man. As
Krassa attempts to reconcile fact and fiction, his book will challenge your
thinking..." -
