Echoes of a Vision of Paradise, a Synopsis


Book Description

We have not heard of anyone besides the present author who has experienced near-death multiple times over a forty-year period. In fact, this author has experienced going to the other side more than half-a dozen times, each different than the one before, as well as over a dozen out-of-body events that leave the body interacting with others who remain unaware of the occurrence. We also know others who have died and come back. These unique experiences were meant to open up a new realm of understanding that tells a more complete story of existencea story of eternity that takes entities outside the box. We are seekers of knowledge and the love of God. Once we are connected to the root (the soul), responding to the clarion call from the beloved, forming communities of the Called (Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, Zoroastrian, Bahai, and others), awaiting to be chosen, obtain our missions, and assist in the advance of an eternal civilization, having each found, through the journey, his or her eternal companion. We exist to serve God, lord of all the worlds, eternally. We are entities, potentials in transit and transcendence, from one to other worlds of God. We are Soul-possessingthe engraved image of the Creator through which He reveals His beauty. This gives each of us a soul-based state of awarenesstenth-dimensionally speaking. We are spirits, imperceptible fields of activity, the precursor engine of all that becomes manifested.

Bee and Fairy Power


Book Description

“Who are you, and why have you entered my dream-space?” Donya asked. “I am a bee from planet Earth, and my name is Ben.” He circled around and chanted, “S.O.S. S.O.S. The bees are dying. The pollen is poisoned with chemicals, and the genetic code of the plants has been modified so that they no longer are nourishing to All Life.” “Earth Mother’s skin, the soil, is cracked and dead. If we cannot pollinate the plants, not enough plants will grow to feed the animals and the humans. Life on Mother Earth will cease as we know it. The humans won’t have food.” “I’ll help you, Ben the Bee.” Startling himself fully awake as he spoke out loud, Donya looked around. “Whoa. Manny, you’ll never guess who came into my dream-space.” Manny rustled his leaves and rumbled deep within his trunk, “Was it Ben the Bee?”

The Persian Garden


Book Description

For more than three thousand years, the Persian garden has been a focus of Iran's national imagination, influencing its art, literature, and even religion. The Persian garden's inspirational role has, however, extended far beyond the land of its origin; its precepts have exerted a profound influence on garden design around the world. The Persian Garden: Echoes of Paradise chronicles the history of the Persian garden, from the magnificent sanctuaries and hunting parks of fifth-century b.c. Persepolis to the magical nightingale gardens of nineteenth-century Tehran. All were seen as a kind of earthly paradise (the English word paradise has its roots in the old Persian word pairi-daeza meaning a walled space). To an astonishing extent, that vision seems justified. This book was meticulously researched and created over a period of six years in, Paris, Tehran and Washington by photographer, Mehdi Khansari and architect Minouch Yavari, together with the renowned Persian architect and architectural historian Reza Moghtader. It explains the philosophy behind Persian garden design and offers an authoritative account of its developmentintroducing new historical material in the process. This extraordinary story is enhanced by vivid descriptions of Persian gardens as seen through the eyes of travelers to Iran during the past five hundred years. Over 240 illustrations in full color, complement the text. They include magnificent color photographs, old plates and engravings, as well as exquisite architectural renderings and plans of the sites and the gardens. A selection of the finest Persian garden-carpets, textiles, miniature paintings, stone reliefs, painted tiles, pottery, and poetry, augment the reader's experience of an ancient art form that for centuries has sought to meld the physical and the spiritual.




Experiences and Insights


Book Description

There is so much murkiness within each point of view that prevents each of us from seeing and experiencing, knowing, and having the correct choices to progress toward Gods desired goal. Within our true nature as divine entities, the translucent complexity is brought into a singleness: our thoughts and feelings (from physiologically based states of consciousness) Spirits and Soul-based states of awareness are unified when we are properly modulated. Most beings ignore or deny the difficulties that occur when we choose egoic points of view rather than that of the First Mind. With the former disconnected viewpoints and the resulting lack of alignment and integration of Soul, Spirit, mind, and body within our Selves, we experience in our external worlds events and actions that reflect this improper arrangement and lack of coherence, as well as the distortion derived therefrom, from moment to moment. No amount of therapy and time can disentangle the disarray, the muddle of confusion, said predicament produces in the psyche of each and all. Suffice it to say, a transitory look at the world we live in reveals to any detached observer the games and traps being created from one to the next generation. Whether actively or passively pursued, these games cause effects which cost all of us, be it emotional or monetary costs, draining our production and reducing our resource utilization, or adding to a greater tragedythe loss of direction and meaning for our-Selves.
