Book Description
From the ancient days of the King Solomon to the modern times of Mark Twain’s romance The Prince and the Pauper, there were numerous legends and folk stories about entwined destinies of the people who shared the same date of birth. Many thinkers and astrologers have tried to explore this phenomenon, but there were no solid facts confirming these legends. Celestial Twins is the first evidence-based work that establishes the historical truth behind such myths, exploring 17 representative life stories. It begins as a tale of one curious observation of meaningful interconnectedness between life-paths of two historical personalities born on the same day of the same year. This accidental observation led to a systematic 15-year study of well-known celestial twins in which cases of such entwined life stories were detected and studied. This research led to the discovery of a new phenomenon—the Effect of Celestial Twins (ECT)—which demonstrates that though each human being is unique, there is fairly exact matching between the biographical data of celestial twins. All personages in these stories are well-known historical characters, such as Ernest Hemingway, Oscar Wilde, Nancy Astor, King George VI, Carl Gustav Jung, and Pablo Casals. Each of them was believed to have an unprecedented life path; and yet each person in these stories had a “twin” who had the same unique life task, used the same methods to complete it, and gained the same results.

Book Description
Dante Quintrell is an Alchemer, the last of an ancient order that strove to protect Gaia, a wondrous land full of towering forests, titanic mountains, and stifling deserts. There's nothing Dante wants more than a pint of mead. Save for overthrowing the tyrannical Queen Medea Eldrid. The Queen will stop at nothing to control Gaia, all for some great, militaristic purpose which involves a mythical place known only as the Sanctuary. The Alchemer thinks his task will be as simple as assassinating Medea's military leaders before slitting her throat and calling it a day. However, the resurgence of an ancient poem will make Dante's quest more complicated than he first thinks. Join Dante Quintrell and the Oathkeepers as they cross the scorching Farid Desert, solve a monstrous mystery, learn to fly, and clash with Medea's Air Chief Marshals while drawing closer to discovering the Sanctuary's true nature. And, perhaps, the Sanctuary itself.

The Celestial Scriptures
Author: C. M. Houck
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595209130
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 706
Book Description
The Celestial Scriptures will challenge every spiritual principle that has been imposed upon us through tenets or organized religions. It is not easy to face the fact that religious pronouncements—often contradictory—are primarily distortions regarding some universal truth as seen through myth and superstition. The Celestial Scriptures will challenge the reader to get acquainted with a means of spiritual understanding that is unfamiliar, for it reinstates an extremely ancient device as a teaching tool. The irony is that most people in our technilogical society have at least a passing awareness of this device and associate it with a frivolous pastime. In spite of all humankind's technological advances, we have not learned to override the conditioned religious interpretations that were set down by ancestors who insisted that the Earth was the center of Creation. We have climbed out of such simplemindedness and have raised virtual mountains of technological wonders. But amazingly, from the summits these mountains where we are privileged to peer into the living heart of universal truths, we still bow before mythic explanations and superstitions! It is time to face the fact that deceptions have lurked in the halls of faith for far too long.

Explanations in Iconography
Author: Carol Diaz-Granados
Publisher: Oxbow Books
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Case studies combine archaeological data and oral tradition to illustrate how the archaeological expression of beliefs and meanings passed down in the oral tradition may be interpreted. Explanations in Iconography: Ancient American Indian Art, Symbol, and Meaning is a significant contribution to the field of archaeology – a contribution in iconography studies that has gradually been coming into its own. Iconography is a rich and fascinating field, as applied to the complex, and heretofore enigmatic, imagery on many ancient Pre-Columbian artifacts. When viewed through the lens of early ethnographic records and American Indian oral traditions, as well as information from knowledgeable American Indian elders, it opens a world of understanding and clarity until recently unknown in the field of anthropological archaeology. It brings us closer to the people who created the artifacts and offers a glimpse into the symbols and beliefs that were important to them. Chapters cover a wide variety of artifacts and imagery from several ancient American Indian cultures. These artifacts include petroglyphs and pictographs (rock art), mounds, engraved shell cups and gorgets, burial architecture and grave furniture, pottery, copper repoussé, and other media. Ancient graphics, engravings, mounds, and all were created to deliver a message to the viewer – and many of those messages are finally coming to light. The artifacts included are from a variety of regions, mainly in the Midwest and Eastern United States. We hope that this volume will encourage others to look more deeply into the meaning behind the ancient imagery and arts and give the past a chance to be known.
