The Last Ecstasy of Life: Celtic Mysteries of Death and Dying
by Phyllida Anam-Áire• Emphasizes how shadow work, integrating past wounds, and healing our ancestry allows us to facilitate the ecstatic transition into the next life • Offers exercises and visualizations to help us integrate emotions like anger and grief, which impact the soul&’s readiness to leave the body when the time comes • Discusses what happens to our cells when we die with regard to the human energy field and explores the soul&’s journey through the aítes or bardos In the Celtic tradition dying is considered an act of birthing, of our consciousness passing from this life to the next. Informed by an early near-death experience, spiritual midwife and former nun Phyllida Anam-Áire offers an intimate overview of the sacred stages of the dying process seen through the lens of her Celtic heritage. Compassionately describing the final dissolution of the elements, she emphasizes how important it is to resolve and integrate our psycho-spiritual shadows and wounds in this lifetime. What truly heals is our capacity for authentic compassionate love--in life, in death, and after. Healing our ancestry before leaving the body eases not only our transition but sets future generations free from old stories held in our family systems.Sharing her insights into God consciousness, our earth/ego mind, and the soul&’s journey through the Aíte or bardos, Phyllida&’s poetic words guide us toward the final ecstasy as the soul leaves its material form and enters the vast Universal Heart of cosmic energy. Providing a deep spiritual understanding of the mysteries of death and the afterlife, this courageous book combines Celtic and Christian wisdom to dispel the fear of dying and invites us to live consciously and with love to our very last breath.

by Thom HartmannThe world is reaching crisis point, as population growth escalates out of control, and species and cultures are being destroyed.

In this important book, award-winning author and international lecturer Thom Hartmann puts forward his lasting solution to our survival. Teaching us a new way of seeing, Hartmann introduces us to the lessons of our ancient ancestors - those which allowed sustainable living for many thousands of years but which we've forgotten. It is a call for consciousness combining spirituality and ecology that offers real hope for the future.
The Last Hours Of Jesus: From Gethsemane to Golgotha
by Fr. Ralph Gorman“Each of the four Gospels tells only part of the story of Jesus….and all of them leave out background facts that are essential to understanding events surrounding Jesus' arrest, trial, and crucifixion.That's because the Gospels were written for readers already familiar with many of the persons, places, parties, and politics that governed events in those long-past days. Not so modern readers, twenty centuries later!Which is why Fr. Ralph Gorman has here crafted a single, unforgettable, detailed account that combines material from all four Gospels with critically-important Old Testament passages, plus relevant facts from Jewish and Roman history, laws, traditions, and practices. He also includes helpful first century military, political, geographical, and archaeological information and keen depictions of Gospel places based on his three years residence there.The result?A richly-textured, moment-by-moment account that brings to vivid life the powerful events that transpired between Jesus' Agony in the Garden and His death on the Cross—a narrative that actually provides a fuller treatment of the events of Passion Week than is found in any of the Gospels.From The Last Hours of Jesus, you'll come to learn scores of new—and often surprising—things, including:—The exact moment that Satan entered Judas—The dangerous political currents in Palestine that fueled the fatal events of Holy Week—Why Jesus refused to answer many of His accusers—Pontius Pilate: why he admired—but condemned—Jesus—Why, so quickly, Palm Sunday's "Hosannas" led to Good Friday's "Crucify him!"—Why, after His death, the Sanhedrin still feared Jesus—And much more to enrich your knowledge, understanding, and love of Jesus!”-Print ed.
The Last Lecture
by Randy PauschWhen they retire, many professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture" where they speak about what they view as their legacy. When Pausch was diagnosed with terminal cancer, the lecture he gave, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment because "time is all you have ...and you may find one day that you have less than you think."
The Last Lecture
by Randy Pausch"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."---Randy Pausch <P><P>A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? <P>When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. <P> But the lecture he gave--"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"--wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have...and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. <P>In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

The Last Safe Investment
by Michael Ellsberg Bryan FranklinThe case for investing in your own career before anything elseMichael Ellsberg and Bryan Franklin think you've been fed a lie: that if you save for decades and invest in 401(k)s, IRAs, and a home, these investments will grow steadily over decades, allowing twenty to thirty years of secure, peaceful retirement.This might have been true at some point in the last century, but it is not true any longer. If you want to get ahead and enjoy a life of prosperity, the authors argue that you must invest in the most powerful source of wealth you'll ever know: your own earning power.Ellsberg and Franklin reveal how investing in yourself in various ways can guarantee a return much higher than the stock market or real estate. Boosting your skills, leadership, persuasion ability, and your network enriches the quality and meaning of your life at the same time that it enriches your wallet. Why wouldn't you bet on yourself?

The Last Supper on the Moon Study Guide plus Streaming Video: The Ocean of Space, the Mystery of Grace, and the Life Jesus Died for You to Have
by Levi LuskoThis Study Guide includes:Individual access to five streaming video sessionsDiscussion and reflection questions with video notesPersonal study between sessionsLeader&’s GuideIn the summer of 1969, Buzz Aldrin had a mission. His goal was to fly 240 million miles from earth and, along with fellow astronaut Neil Armstrong, be the first to walk on the moon. But moments before that historic step, Aldrin poured a specially prepared drink into a cup and partook of a sacred celebration that had first occurred two thousand years before. The lunar Last Supper was full of meaning, just as it had been when Jesus himself took of the elements and acknowledged his calling and purpose. But the significance didn't end there. Today, as we remember the sacrifice of Christ on the cross, followed by his resurrection, we are reminded that what seemed to be an end became the genesis of everything—including the rescue and restoration of anyone who calls on Jesus' name. In this five-session study, bestselling author and pastor Levi Lusko journeys back in time and forward in hope, using the 1969 lunar mission as an analogy of the metamorphosis that was unleashed by the man from Galilee. Along the way, he uncovers the remarkable "seven statements" that Jesus made from the cross—words that provide us everything we need in the chaos of our world to conquer judgment, persecution, anxiety, and pain.Designed for use with The Last Supper on the Moon Video Study (sold separately).

The Law and Other Essays
by Neville GoddardCan man decree a thing and have it come to pass? Most decidedly he can! Man has always decreed that which has appeared in his world and is today decreeing that which is appearing in his world and shall continue to do so as long as man is conscious of being man. Not one thing has ever appeared in man's world but what man decreed that it should. This you may deny, but try as you will you cannot disprove it, for this decreeing is based upon a changeless principle. You do not command things to appear by your words or loud affirmations. Such vain repetition is more often than not confirmation of the opposite. Decreeing is ever done in consciousness. That is; every man is conscious of being that which he has decreed himself to be. Collected her are six essays on the Law of Attraction: The Law, Be What You Wish; Be What You Believe, By Imagination We Become, The Law of Assumption, Truth, and At Your Command.

Burroughs offers examples and stories which show how the Law of Agreement, and its partner, the Law of Adversity work simultaneously. What happens when we don't get what we want? What is the opportunity in adversity?The Law of Agreementshows how adversity can lift us up and out of our routines and help us to reach deep inside ourselves for answers to life's hardest questions.

The Law of Attention: Nada Yoga and the Way of Inner Vigilance
by Edward Salim MichaelHow to achieve a direct inner experience of your higher nature and the after-death state from which you originate and will return • Provides techniques for listening to the primordial sound within • Offers yoga and meditation techniques that are still little known in the West This book--at once simple and powerful--stands as a monument to the lifelong spiritual struggles of Edward Salim Michael, struggles that he heroically surmounted on his path to enlightenment. Due to the circumstances of his birth, Michael had no education, no mother tongue, and no book learning when he was drafted at the age of 19 into the British Royal Air Force during World War II. After learning to read and write he became an accomplished classical composer in France. In 1949, after seeing a statue of a Buddha for the first time, he experienced a powerful awakening of his innate Buddha Nature, which inspired him to begin a sustained and extremely disciplined meditation practice. Michael abandoned his career as a composer and went to India, the home of his maternal grandmother, where he lived for seven years fully focused on his spiritual awakening. Michael’s spiritual teachings reveal techniques of yoga and meditation that can open the door to one’s higher nature and to directly experience the after-death state. Nada yoga (meditation on the inner sound) is one of the core techniques for this realization. There is a vast luminous consciousness already within us, but it is obscured by the clouds of our incessant thoughts. With sincerity, moral integrity, and inner vigilance, which, when embodied, implies that we have internalized the basic tenets of the law of attention, we can move beyond the promptings of our lower nature and break through the clouds of our ordinary mind to realize our own divine nature. Emphasizing inner attention and an awareness of attitude, Michael’s practices can help aspirants make direct contact with the divine source each of us unknowingly carries deep within.
