The Stairway To Freedom


Book Description

This book, The Stairway To Freedom, was dictated from the spirit world by The Great White Brotherhood and is a complete primer of esoteric knowledge covering virtually every aspect of a human being’s development whilst here in incarnation and also will see ones life into in the spiritual realms as one progresses towards God. It covers a large gamut of seemingly unrelated topics covering: • Sexuality, • The birth process, • How life develops and is controlled by archangels, • What is God and what God’s Power is, • What our auras are, • How we can develop spirituality, • Diet, • Organising one’s daily routine and a host of other topics. The book cleverly weaves all these, apparently, disparate elements into a cohesive whole so that the student can have a firm grasp on the way that life operates whilst incarnate here on Earth and will help guide one through that life, and also what awaits someone when this incarnation is finished and they return to their true home, the spirit realms. There are also a couple of prayers that were dictated from the spirit world, some guided meditations and, lastly, a number of questions and answers that were asked of the Great White Brotherhood on a variety of topics. Although it is a book on spirituality, it offers a lot of practical information relevant to the problems that people face in their daily lives. The Brotherhood all had incarnations here on Earth at some stage and so have first hand knowledge of the difficulties that we face. It is not a remote, academic book just dealing with what is God. It is written in simple, if precise, language and all people will find that they can connect to the information presented in the various chapters. As a last point, a great deal of love was put in by the Great White Brotherhood to give us this book and a great deal of hard work was put in by various people to present this to you. It is hoped that the information will change your life.

The Great White Brotherhood


Book Description

"Throughout the ages, there have been men and women in every race and religion that have mastered time and space, transcended the cycles of karma and rebirth, and returned to the Source of all life. By attaining the goal of life, the ascension, these souls have become ascended masters. In this book, drawn from the author’s pivotal spiritual conference held at Mount Shasta in 1975, you will discover how the saints and sages of both East and West work together behind the scenes of life with seekers in every field of human endeavor. Learn about this vast brotherhood of light, known as the Great White Brotherhood (the word “white” refers not to race but to the aura of white light that surrounds these ascended masters), their devotion to humanity, and their tireless efforts to help you and those you love. Contains an easy-to-understand and unique approach to spiritual astrology called the “Cosmic Clock,” with diagrams. Also explores key interpretations of the Book of Revelation, America’s unique role, and the little-known vision of George Washington and the prophecy of Sir William Hope about the future of America.

The Invention of Wings


Book Description

The newest Oprah’s Book Club 2.0 selection: this special eBook edition of The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd features exclusive content, including Oprah’s personal notes highlighted within the text, and a reading group guide. Writing at the height of her narrative and imaginative gifts, Sue Monk Kidd presents a masterpiece of hope, daring, the quest for freedom, and the desire to have a voice in the world. Hetty “Handful” Grimke, an urban slave in early nineteenth century Charleston, yearns for life beyond the suffocating walls that enclose her within the wealthy Grimke household. The Grimke’s daughter, Sarah, has known from an early age she is meant to do something large in the world, but she is hemmed in by the limits imposed on women. Kidd’s sweeping novel is set in motion on Sarah’s eleventh birthday, when she is given ownership of ten year old Handful, who is to be her handmaid. We follow their remarkable journeys over the next thirty five years, as both strive for a life of their own, dramatically shaping each other’s destinies and forming a complex relationship marked by guilt, defiance, estrangement and the uneasy ways of love. As the stories build to a riveting climax, Handful will endure loss and sorrow, finding courage and a sense of self in the process. Sarah will experience crushed hopes, betrayal, unrequited love, and ostracism before leaving Charleston to find her place alongside her fearless younger sister, Angelina, as one of the early pioneers in the abolition and women’s rights movements. Inspired by the historical figure of Sarah Grimke, Kidd goes beyond the record to flesh out the rich interior lives of all of her characters, both real and invented, including Handful’s cunning mother, Charlotte, who courts danger in her search for something better. This exquisitely written novel is a triumph of storytelling that looks with unswerving eyes at a devastating wound in American history, through women whose struggles for liberation, empowerment, and expression will leave no reader unmoved.

Or something worse than dead.” Jane Hawk knows she may be living on borrowed time. But as long as she’s breathing, she’ll never cease her one-woman war against the terrifying conspiracy that threatens the freedom—and free will—of millions.

The Stairway To Life


Book Description

Spontaneous generation of living organisms-life arising without progenitor or seed-was a common belief in the time of Aristotle. Over the next two thousand years, support for spontaneous generation slowly retreated to its final stronghold: spontaneous formation of the first living organism. From recently acquired insights into the complexity of the simplest organisms, Tan and Stadler specify requirements for spontaneous formation of life and evaluate the prospects for natural processes to satisfy these requirements. The Stairway to Life is a thought-provoking inquiry that breaches the final stronghold of spontaneous generation.
