This book presents a collection of communications that author Daniel Perret has experienced with nature spirits and other spirit beings. They bring forward the insights, and intelligence of the different beings and show how precise and wide ranging their knowledge and wisdom is - some are recent conversations and some are already published in his previous books. In the coming times humanity can only evolve through respecting all sentient beings and cooperating with them. How can we develop a communication with the invisible realm that enables us to know who is 'on the phone'? In this helpful book Daniel presents many of his own expe-riences and tells us how he built up his communication with nature spirits and spirit beings. He shows how we can learn to ask questions and to distinguish valuable from non-valuable dialogues and partners. He sets out how we can distinguish between our projections and a real communication. The usefulness of any communication with invisible beings depends on how much we really know ourselves and speak from the depth of our heart, from our higher spiritual self? This requires a high degree of sincerity and allows us to distinguish valuable from non-valuable dialogues and partners.

Do you know that invisible beings, Nature spirits, of the most various kinds exist in Nature, and that every one of them has a special task? Unfortunately, most of us don't know this, and moreover, we only believe in things which we can see with our physical eyes. Fortunately, there are those who are able to see behind the veils we generally have in front of our eyes ... Through our ignorance we kill and scare off these elementals with our toxins, our violence, and our insensitivity, which already have had dire consequences. But it has not always been so. Once, a long time ago, humans cooperated with the elementals in harmony and balance, and to this unity we must return. In this book, the writer's spiritual inspirer, Jan, together with a religious historian and two elves, will make peep-holes into different ages - from about 20 million years ago and forward - in the greatest, most magical, and secretive of all worlds: Nature. The mission is to inform humans about the magic of Nature and also to investigate when, where, and how humans, elves, and Nature spirits cooperated in good spirit. The time journeys are always started from Mother Earth's beautiful green cave in the innermost of the Earth. At the end of the book are included a number of channeled messages from Pan, the uncrowned ruler and King of Nature. Mariana Stjerna has, ever since her childhood, had a deep feeling for Nature and the elementals, both of which she has experienced and communicated with and still does. The time is now ripe to tell about this magical but so far invisible world, which exists right next to us. This is the fourth book inspired by Jan Fridegard.

Winner, 2023 Columbia University Press Distinguished Book Award Finalist, 2023 Pauli Murray Book Prize in Black Intellectual History, African American Intellectual History Society Shortlisted, Historical Nonfiction Legacy Award, Hurston / Wright Foundation Ralph Ellison famously characterized ensemble jazz improvisation as “antagonistic cooperation.” Both collaborative and competitive, musicians play with and against one another to create art and community. In Antagonistic Cooperation, Robert G. O’Meally shows how this idea runs throughout twentieth-century African American culture to provide a new history of Black creativity and aesthetics. From the collages of Romare Bearden and paintings of Jean-Michel Basquiat to the fiction of Ralph Ellison and Toni Morrison to the music of Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, O’Meally explores how the worlds of African American jazz, art, and literature have informed one another. He argues that these artists drew on the improvisatory nature of jazz and the techniques of collage not as a way to depict a fractured or broken sense of Blackness but rather to see the Black self as beautifully layered and complex. They developed a shared set of methods and motives driven by the belief that art must involve a sense of community. O’Meally’s readings of these artists and their work emphasize how they have not only contributed to understanding of Black history and culture but also provided hope for fulfilling the broken promises of American democracy.

In this unique book Spirit Guides are invited to communicate to us teachings which they consider relevant and important at this time. However, the author also questions and challenges what the Guides have to say, instead of just acquiescing to their messages. The book is intended to help awaken people to the reality that they each have Spirit Guides who are more than willing to be of help and service to them. However, since they always respect our free will, they depend on us taking the initiative to get to know them. This is precisely the challenge of learning to trust in Spirit and in our own potential abilities. I can honestly say that when I read the manuscript I was amazed at its power to inspire and heal. As you read this book your spirit guide will be close and help you understand the teachings that are relevant to you. Anne Lewis - Spiritual Medium and Healer. You are only limited in your abilities by your own set beliefs and expectations. If your beliefs grow and widen, then so do your abilities to contact beings on all different levels. Philip. The Angel.

Climate change, development and development cooperation are, individually and jointly, three politically sensitive, complex issues, especially in the context of relations between developed and developing countries. This book tackles these issues by combining theoretical, political, and practical perspectives, analysing the dominant paradigms and exploring the meaning of the concept of mainstreaming. At the practical level, it presents the results of case studies focusing on assistance provided by the European Union and key member states and the climate needs articulated by developing countries. At the political level, it highlights the sensitivities between developed and developing countries and examines the mainstreaming debate in various fora. This book is valuable for policymakers, academics, politicians and non-state actors working in the fields of development studies, international law, politics, international relations, economics, climate change, and environmental studies.

Why give money to beggars? Why make sacrifices to help others? The current volume targets such questions with the tools of neoclassical and behavioural economics, philosophy, and sociology of religion. Both religion and economics are analyzed as social institutions that support human intra-group cooperation. Even if individuals are rational maximizers of personal utility, they yet must take into account the reciprocal nature of human relationships. It is better to be part of a cooperative group and make some personal sacrifices because, in the end, everybody benefits from this. Sometimes the metaphor of an invisible hand is used to describe the fact that economic exchange seems to follow some rules that guarantee the best possible result for everyone. In religion, it is of course the hand of God that guides the world. In both cases, individuals are in a way playing against a superior being that always seems to win. In this volume, some of the cognitive mechanisms and cultural selective forces behind this are examined by specialists in different fields of science. The first contributions analyze theoretical and methodological issues; in later chapters, developments in the European history are explored from the perspectives of sociology and economic theory.
