What if we could prove that love heals mental illness and is vital to successful therapeutic outcomes in all areas of health care? What if we could prove that people who live more for others than for self have greater psychological well-being? Professor Stephen G. Post, who heads the Institute for Research on Unlimited Love, is developing a new positive scientific program that integrates practice with high-level empirical research and religious-ethical ideas in order to explore these questions. The goal is to understand how our complex brains, unique imaginations, communicative abilities, reasoning powers, moral sense, and spiritual promptings give rise to the remarkable practice of unselfish love for our neighbors--or for those we do not even know. In Unlimited Love, Post examines the question of what we mean by unlimited love; his focus is not on falling into love, which is altogether natural, easy, and delusional. Rather, he focuses on the difficult learned ascent that begins with insight into the need for tolerance of ubiquitous imperfection, and matures into unselfish concern, gratitude, and compassion. He considers social scientific and evolutionary perspectives on human altruistic motivations, and he analyzes these perspectives in a wide interdisciplinary context at the interface of science, ethics, and religion. Teilhard de Chardin commented that the scientific understanding of the power of unselfish love would be as significant in human history as the discovery of fire. In Unlimited Love, Stephen Post presents an argument for the creation of a new interdisciplinary field for the study of love and unlimited love, engaging great minds and hoping to shape the human futureaway from endless acrimony, hatred, and violence.

“We have relied on science to tell us what happened in ancient sites around the world, it is time for research that is connected to Source.” --Sonja Grace "Spirit Traveler: Unlocking Ancient Mysteries and Secrets of Eight of the World’s Great Historic Sites" takes a unique approach to analyzing why famous historic sites, including the Great Pyramids, Stonehenge, and Tiwanaku, were constructed. Scientists and archaeologists have written thousands of books about these sites. While this information is crucial to our knowledge today, much of the mystery about these places remains unsolved and questions surrounding their purpose have lingered throughout the centuries. "Spirit Traveler", the companion book to the documentary film with the same title, offers a completely different perspective on why these sites were erected and what purpose they served. Only Sonja Grace, the internationally known mystic healer, is able to reveal the secrets of these ancient buildings in this new and fascinating way. Sonja is a Spirit Traveler deeply devoted to the protection of our beautiful Earth. She has spent a lifetime working in the ethers with angels and guides. She sheds light on what the people and cultures of the past were doing at these sites and why, offering a brand new understanding of the events that took place there centuries ago. Sonja Grace brings her unique understanding of the truth to history. In Spirit Traveler, Sonja travels back through the realms to reveal history as it happened. She answers the questions that have puzzled historians and archaeologists for hundreds of years: What was the purpose of Stonehenge? How were the Great Pyramids built, and why is their particular geometry so significant? Why was Skellig Rock so important to the monks? Have our beliefs about these great sites been wrong all along? Is their importance something other than what we have always thought? Sonja Grace’s discoveries shine a whole new light on our historical understanding of these places and on their relationships to the Earth. Sonja Grace aims to bring a new spiritual truth to these questions and fulfill her purpose in the awakening of humanity. Spirit Traveler is a purposefully structured book. Sonja discusses eight specific historical sites: Skellig Michael (Ireland) Tiwanaku - The Gate of the Sun (Bolivia) Stonehenge (England) Hagar Qim (Malta) St. Winifride’s Well (Wales) Chichen ltza and Temple of Kukulcan (Mexico) The Great Khafre Pyramids (Egypt) the Rock of Cashel (Ireland). Each chapter tackles the scientific and historical information available about each site up to this point in time. Sonja addresses the questions that continue to puzzle archaeologists and historians. The second half of each chapter is devoted to Sonja’s Spirit Traveler’ experience, what she learned, and the answers to some of those longstanding questions. Few people possess the gifts of Sonja Grace. Her heritage (part Native American, part Norwegian) provides her with the extraordinary ability to transport anywhere. She sees, hears, smells and feels the places she visits. In Spirit Traveler, Sonja shares every single detail of her riveting travels through space and time. Her work is marked by her distinct understanding of the dimensions and realms along with the convergence of Divine and Earth energies, which allows her to travel through the ethers and gather historic information.

"Readers may find themselves ordering their own DNA testing kit upon finishing this." —Publishers Weekly "The Soul of the Family Tree posits that a spiritual grounding in one's family history can combat 'historical amnesia' and nurture a sense of belonging." —Foreword Reviews Growing up in a passionately Norwegian-American Iowa town, Lori Erickson rolled her eyes at traditions like Nordic Fest and steaming pots of rømmegrøt. But like many Americans, she eventually felt drawn to genealogy, the "quintessential hobby of middle age." Her quest to know more about the Vikings and immigrants who perch in her family tree led her to visit Norse settlements and reenactments, medieval villages and modern museums, her picturesque hometown and her ancestor's farm on the fjords. Along the way, Erickson discovers how her soul has been shaped by her ancestors and finds unexpected spiritual guides among the seafaring Vikings and her hardscrabble immigrant forebears. Erickson’s far-ranging journeys and spiritual musings show us how researching family history can be a powerful tool for inner growth. Travel with Erickson in The Soul of the Family Tree to learn how the spirits of your ancestral past can guide you today.
