Enter the Light, Experiences of the Paranormal by Michael Hawking (1 Review)    Price verified 5 hours ago

"Light is the fire that burns and the sun that gives life. Light is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Light is the heavens and the earth, what is and what is not, and what lies in Eternity." -- Seneca Composed from the journals of explorer Michael Hawking's five years in remote areas of the Himalayas, this book transports the reader into a legendary land of light, a realm that in all history only a handful of people have experienced, a journey that leads to the discovery of the most refined and powerful psychical knowledge possessed by the human race. Many years ago, while trekking in an inner region of the vast frozen fortress of the Great Himalayan Range, Hawking chanced on an unexpected discovery. In a majestic valley surrounded by towering ice peaks he encountered a beautiful small village. In that community, called Siddhalaya by its residents, he had the privilege of meeting a number of truly remarkable men and women. This encounter marked the beginning of sixty-two months Hawking spent in the Himalayan regions of Nepal and Tibet, during which time he kept detailed records of his experiences and conversations with those legendary sages and masters. The team at Wisdom Masters Press, in association with Hawking, has worked diligently to compose a series of books based on his records. This was a daunting assignment; he had accumulated hundreds of pages of journal notes and field notes, all of which had to be sorted and cataloged. Yet it was a fascinating if formidable task, one that could not have been accomplished without the assistance and encouragement of some of the extraordinary individuals Hawking met in the Himalayas, all of whom you will meet in the pages of our books. From the Author: "The wisdom of the masters is powerful and profound, and one hopes it will bring great light into the lives of our readers, will offer them insight and guidance, will greatly expand their knowledge and power, will be validated by their experience, or, at ...

The Last Amendment by T. A. Miller (21 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

After a severe illness leaves nine-year-old Bee Scattercorn deaf, her grandfather Bart, a grizzled late-career American politician, presents her with a diary. His hope is that the heartfelt offering will compel Bee, his Songbird, to write and, in so doing, sustain her spirit. As she matures, Bee embraces her grandfather's gift and chronicles via journal entries and poignant letters her increasing separation from the five senses world. With the U.S. suffocating under toxic partisanship, Bart retires from the House of Representatives, but not before offering a radical, last-ditch solution: permanently divide the country by ideology so that freedom might survive. To Bart's surprise, and eventual lament, the notion takes root and a constitutional amendment is employed to raise two entirely new nations - one purely conservative, one purely liberal - from America's ashes. An adult now, Bee is drawn into her grandfather's chance crusade, pouring herself into the historic work of bisecting the nation. But Bee is soon haunted and consumed by a mysterious connection to her colleague Joe, his life and hers seemingly linked - intricately, impossibly - through ages past. Her grandfather's life expiring, Bee grows desperate for understanding. With the intrigues and dangers of this second (perhaps not-so-unlikely) American revolution reaching their apex, Bee sets out to prove that her mystic connection to Joe is no mere peculiarity, but rather somehow someway the root of her life's purpose.
