The Lipstick Mystic's Guide to Time Traveling, Healing the Time Body, and Finding the Best Possible Timeline (while Others Do the Apocalypso Dance)


Book Description

Jennifer Shepherd, the Lipstick Mystic, reveals the fascinating secrets she learned as a professional "time traveler" in her psychic counseling practice. Her humorous, passionate account of her adventures with time includes stories about her experiments with "time slicing," retrocognition and examining future timelines. Each of these future timelines is different, reflecting numerous potential outcomes for humanity. She shows you how time's very nature is in the process of changing, prompting humanity to start living on shamanic time (or synchronistic time) instead of artificial, man-made time. And she describes the teachings she has received from the time angels, those mysterious multi-dimensional beings who are the guardians of time. She also outlines the various forces that are conspiring to manipulate humanity down the worst possible timeline. These forces range from doomsday religions to the broader "bad news" media culture to shadowy government factions that aggressively repress solutions and silence progressive voices. Mainstream New Age thinking is another influence that can poison people spiritually, teaching people to embrace "ascension in the light body," which is really just death and oblivion. You'll learn how Mother Earth adores humanity and discover how much healing energy she is always radiating. And along the way, you'll learn a powerful healing technique to repair your time body, which is one of the many subtle energy bodies that surrounds the physical body. As your time body heals, you become "allergic" to negative realities and situations and start moving along the best possible timeline. Isn't it time to banish doom and gloom "End Times" programming and start living life with power, passion, and a sense of fun? Let's get going! But be warned: Jennifer likes to rant, so you will find some sass and the occasional four letter word in this book. But really, out of some 500 pages, the naughty words don't take up too much space! From the Back Cover: Are you allergic to doom and gloom prophecies? Do predictions about the Rapture, Armageddon, and the "End of Everything" give you an itchy rash? Do you fervently wish that those ET channelers who are preparing to leave this dimension and ascend in their light bodies would just get on with it and leave you in peace? Congratulations! You're refusing to be affected by religious mind control or mass New Age /sewage hypnosis, and you're reclaiming your spiritual sovereignty. I invite you to meet me in a far better reality. Join me for a tasty Cosmic Cosmopolitan (or a nice cup of herbal tea), some home-cooked rants (complete with spicy four letter words) and my detailed guidance about how you can avoid that contagious gloom stuff. I'll also teach you my sneaky techniques for healing your time body, teach you how to live on shaman time (instead of artificial man-made time) and give you tips on how to choose a truly happy and prosperous timeline. Come along! Let's have some fun.

Psychomagic


Book Description

A healing path using the power of dreams, theater, poetry, and shamanism • Shows how psychological realizations can cause true transformation when manifested by concrete poetic acts • Includes many examples of the surreal but successful actions Jodorowsky has prescribed to those seeking his help While living in Mexico, Alejandro Jodorowsky became familiar with the colorful and effective cures provided by folk healers. He realized that it is easier for the unconscious to understand the language of dreams than that of rationality. Illness can even be seen as a physical dream that reveals unresolved emotional and psychological problems. Psychomagic presents the shamanic and genealogical principles Jodorowsky discovered to create a healing therapy that could use the powers of dreams, art, and theater to empower individuals to heal wounds that in some cases had traveled through generations. The concrete and often surreal poetic actions Jodorowsky employs are part of an elaborate strategy intended to break apart the dysfunctional persona with whom the patient identifies in order to connect with a deeper self. That is when true transformation can manifest. For a young man who complained that he lived only in his head and was unable to grab hold of reality and advance toward the financial autonomy he desired, Jodorowsky gave the prescription to paste two gold coins to the soles of his shoes so that all day he would be walking on gold. A judge whose vanity was ruling his every move was given the task of dressing like a tramp and begging outside one of the fashionable restaurants he loved to frequent while pulling glass doll eyes out of his pockets. The lesson for him was that if a tramp can fill his pockets with eyeballs, then they must be of no value, and thus the eyes of others should have no bearing on who you are and what you do. Taking his patients directly at their words, Jodorowsky takes the same elements associated with a negative emotional charge and recasts them in an action that will make them positive and enable them to pay the psychological debts hindering their lives.




Consilience


Book Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • "A dazzling journey across the sciences and humanities in search of deep laws to unite them." —The Wall Street Journal One of our greatest scientists—and the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes for On Human Nature and The Ants—gives us a work of visionary importance that may be the crowning achievement of his career. In Consilience (a word that originally meant "jumping together"), Edward O. Wilson renews the Enlightenment's search for a unified theory of knowledge in disciplines that range from physics to biology, the social sciences and the humanities. Using the natural sciences as his model, Wilson forges dramatic links between fields. He explores the chemistry of the mind and the genetic bases of culture. He postulates the biological principles underlying works of art from cave-drawings to Lolita. Presenting the latest findings in prose of wonderful clarity and oratorical eloquence, and synthesizing it into a dazzling whole, Consilience is science in the path-clearing traditions of Newton, Einstein, and Richard Feynman.




Expanded Cinema


Book Description

Fiftieth anniversary reissue of the founding media studies book that helped establish media art as a cultural category. First published in 1970, Gene Youngblood’s influential Expanded Cinema was the first serious treatment of video, computers, and holography as cinematic technologies. Long considered the bible for media artists, Youngblood’s insider account of 1960s counterculture and the birth of cybernetics remains a mainstay reference in today’s hypermediated digital world. This fiftieth anniversary edition includes a new Introduction by the author that offers conceptual tools for understanding the sociocultural and sociopolitical realities of our present world. A unique eyewitness account of burgeoning experimental film and the birth of video art in the late 1960s, this far- ranging study traces the evolution of cinematic language to the end of fiction, drama, and realism. Vast in scope, its prescient formulations include “the paleocybernetic age,” “intermedia,” the “artist as design scientist,” the “artist as ecologist,” “synaesthetics and kinesthetics,” and “the technosphere: man/machine symbiosis.” Outstanding works are analyzed in detail. Methods of production are meticulously described, including interviews with artists and technologists of the period, such as Nam June Paik, Jordan Belson, Andy Warhol, Stan Brakhage, Carolee Schneemann, Stan VanDerBeek, Les Levine, and Frank Gillette. An inspiring Introduction by the celebrated polymath and designer R. Buckminster Fuller—a perfectly cut gem of countercultural thinking in itself—places Youngblood’s radical observations in comprehensive perspective. Providing an unparalleled historical documentation, Expanded Cinema clarifies a chapter of countercultural history that is still not fully represented in the arthistorical record half a century later. The book will also inspire the current generation of artists working in ever-newer expansions of the cinematic environment and will prove invaluable to all who are concerned with the technologies that are reshaping the nature of human communication.

Becoming Dangerous


Book Description

"Edgy and often deeply personal, the twenty-one essays collected here come from a wide variety of writers. Some identify as witches, others identify as writers, musicians, game developers, or artists. What they have in common is that they've created personal rituals to summon their own power in a world that would prefer them powerless. Here, they share the rituals they use to resist self-doubt, grief, and depression in the face of sexism, slut shaming, racism, patriarchy, and other systems of oppression"--

Women in Game of Thrones


Book Description

Game of Thrones, one of the hottest series on television, leaves hundreds of critics divided on how "feminist" the show really is. Certainly the female characters, strong and weak, embody a variety of archetypes--widow queens, warrior women, damsels in distress, career women, priestesses, crones, mothers and maidens. However, the problem is that most of them play a single role without nuance--even the "strong women" have little to do besides strut about as one-note characters. This book analyzes the women and their portrayals one by one, along with their historical inspirations. Accompanying issues in television studies also appear, from the male gaze to depiction of race. How these characters are treated in the series and how they treat themselves becomes central, as many strip for the pleasure of men or are sacrificed as pawns. Some nude scenes or moments of male violence are fetishized and filmed to tantalize, while others show the women's trauma and attempt to identify with the scene's female perspective. The key is whether the characters break out of their traditional roles and become multidimensional.
