Contact with extraterrestrial and multidimensional beings began for Olive Stuart on New Year’s Day 2000 when she heard the Voice declare: "It's time." Childhood terror of an extraterrestrial presence triggered panic in Olive when the Voice later spoke to her through a client who was soundly sleeping during a Reiki session. Communication and trust with the Voice developed for several years until Olive’s fears of anything extraterrestrial were fully released and she understood why she had been selected for contact. Slowly a friendship developed with Avratar, a Fifth Dimensional being who guided Olive to a greater awareness of life beyond Earth’s three-dimensional boundaries. “They must understand that we are here to help” was the message Avratar wanted humans to hear. “Time is limited .... There are many individuals on your planet who wish to live in harmony with the planet and each other, yet they are denied this opportunity. That was not the original intention for this planet. The injustices and the continuing harm to Gaia will not be permitted to continue.” Reports of unidentified flying objects are increasing across the globe; soon even more ships will be appearing in our skies. Sightings, direct contact and even abductions can no longer be dismissed as fabrication. Changes, and the light beings, are definitely coming. The book is designed to help alleviate the anticipated fears and increase awareness of their objectives, how to comprehend the massive Earth changes that have been foretold, and most importantly how to “prepare your heart.” Written in the style of narrative fiction, the book is in reality an autobiography of the author’s growing awakening and acceptance of her role in the planet’s evolution.

This is the story of Jonathan Smith, an average guy, who spent the majority of his life trying to find purpose and reason. The only real quest he had was for truth. He wanted more than anything to know who he really was, where he came from, and what would happen to him when he died. Jonathan had all but abandoned any hope of knowing such things when, through an unexplained occurrence, he found himself outside of time and space in a Realm of Thought and Light. Through his experience, Jonathan came to understand who he was. He once again was brought back into the knowledge of all the things he had forgotten. He saw and experienced the Entities of Light, the Beings of Light, the Light World, the World of Matter, the Entities of Self and so on. He learned the nature of good and evil and he came to understand why things appear the way they do. Jonathan, knowing he could stay in the World of Light, came back to share his story with us, that we might remember who and what we are. --Please visit www.laynelayton.com

Discovered in Egypt in 1945 as part of the Nag Hammadi Library, the Gospel of Thomas was long considered irrelevant to the study of Jesus' teachings. Stevan Davies' influential The Gospel of Thomas and Christian Wisdom overturned this view, and enabled the Gospel of Thomas to be taken seriously as a source for the earliest Christianity. This Bardic Press edition brings a classic work of accessible scholarshp back into print. A entirely new forty page introduction discusses recent developments in scholarship, looks at Thomas' independence from the New Testament gospels, discusses the role of Mary Magdalene in the Gospel Thomas, and offers a variety of valuable insights. A fascinating additional essay speculates that Thomas may have been used as an oracle text in a similar way to the I Ching.

Earth and Gods is an attempt to introduce the reader to Heidegger's fully developed philosophy. The title Earth and Gods gives an im pression of not being a general study of Heidegger's philosophy. However, this is not true - the earth and the gods are fundamental ontological symbols of his fully developed philosophy, namely, his third and final phase of thought. This phase repeats the problems of both preceding phases in a fuller and more developed manner; hence, it implies them. The two preceding phases are the phase of Dasein and the phase of Being. These two phases are a natural flow of fundamental problems which reach their final formation and development in the phase of earth and gods. Dasein (the first phase) leads to Being, and Being (the second phase) bursts into fundamental ontological powers of Being (Seinsmiichte) which are earth and sky, gods and mortals (the third phase). Since earth is unthinkable without sky and since gods are gods in the world of mortals - of men, the title Earth and Gods is an abbreviation of these four fundamental powers of Being. Hence, an investigation of earth and gods is an attempt to present Heidegger's philosophy as a whole. Such a presentation provides the reader with the background necessary for a more adequate and efficient understanding of the writings of Heidegger himself. Thus, Earth and Gods may rightly be considered an introduction to Hei degger's philosophy.

“Education is not an art of putting sight into the eye that can already see, but one of turning the eye towards the proper gaze of Being. That’s what must be managed!” Plato insists. This claim is the take-off point for Eduardo Duarte’s meditations on the metaphysics and ontology of teaching and learning. In Being and Learning he offers an account of learning as an attunement with Being’s dynamic presencing and unconcealment, which Duarte explores as the capacity to respond and attend to the matter that stands before us, or, in Arendtian terms, to love the world, and to be with others in this world. This book of ‘poetic thinking’ is a chronicle of Duarte’s ongoing exploration of the question of Being, a philosophical journey that has been guided primarily through a conversation with Heidegger, and which also includes the voices of Plato, Aristotle, Heraclitus, Nietzsche, as well Lao Tzu and the Buddha, among others. In Being and Learning, Duarte undertakes a ‘phenomenology of the original’: a writing that consciously and conspicuously interrupts the discursive field of work in philosophy of education. As the late Reiner Schurmann described this method: “it recalls the ancient beginnings and it anticipates a new beginning, the possible rise of a new economy among things, words and actions.” Being and Learning is a work of parrhesia: a composition of free thought that disrupts the conventional practice of philosophy of education, and thereby open up gaps and spaces of possibility in the arrangement of words, concepts, and ideas in the field. With this work Eduardo Duarte is initiating new pathways of thinking about education.

Alberts Journey into the Universe explores our garden universe in a playful manner that is fun for children of all ages. The story includes many of the elements that make for imaginative learning. The story takes the reader to places that we are not capable of going with our normal perspective paradigm but they are places also within our realm of possible evolution. Change your paradigm, change your reality. Meet critters that can communicate with man, go to the far reaches if the universe, travel around the world in a day, visit inner Earth, vision what our imagination can achieve, navigate through the micro and the macro universe, take inner journeys that lead you to source then go on a vision journey of your own. Envision a world where mankind is learning how to steward our spaceship Earth as well as our physical space suit that we are provided with from birth till death. Take a comical look at the possible blockages that keep us from achieving our full potential as a galactic species on a path towards source. Take a moment to imagine where mankind is destined to go giving divine blessing from within (our consent), from our connection with source. It is up to us. No one can do this for us; no government, no religion, no parent figure, no space aliens not even our ascended masters can make it happen. Yep; it is up to us. We may as well have fun making the desired changes, so have as much fun reading and imagining as you can.
