Book Description
People's timeless captivation with those supposedly endowed with supernatural powers - these gifted individuals oftentimes regarded as gods walking among everyone else - is a fascinating phenomenon in itself. Soothsayers and clairvoyants were particularly revered in past centuries, even by royals, nobles, and other influential figures, who placed oracles, mediums, and mystics in their retinues and sought counsel from them on a regular basis. Queen Elizabeth I, for example, famously appointed controversial polymath and occultist John Dee as her personal adviser. Various American presidents, including George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, are also known to have worked with psychics and spiritualists on at least one occasion. Needless to say, prophetic predictions regarding large-scale, epoch-making events that reportedly came to pass have only further cemented the convictions of believers, and in some cases, these stunning revelations have even caused skeptics to review their positions. Nostradamus, a 16th century physician, astrologer, sage, and seer, is perhaps the most renowned clairvoyant in history, as he apparently forecasted numerous transformative affairs centuries ahead of his time. In one such prophesy, he referenced "a young child born of poor people from the depths of the West of Europe, who would go on to "seduce a great troop by his tongue," which many now believe alluded to the rise of Adolf Hitler. While Nostradamus remains the most famous, a legendary prophet grew up further east during the 20th century. Known by millions of followers as the beloved Baba Vanga, she was a blind mystic often called the "Balkan Nostradamus." Despite her extremely humble beginnings, minimal education, and the seemingly endless string of hardships she suffered in her early life, the resilient, insightful, and peerlessly intuitive Vanga achieved global fame and recognition with her otherworldly visions and frighteningly accurate prophecies, attracting scores of domestic and international visitors from all walks of life, ranging from fellow villagers to celebrities and foreign dignitaries who clung on to her every word. The loyalty of her fan base, many of whom continue to spread forth her predictions and invaluable pearls of wisdom over 20 years after her death, is a testament to her prowess, especially in the present, when skepticism and cynicism have become the norm. Baba Vanga: The Controversial Life and Legacy of the Influential Bulgarian Mystic examines her life, her prophecies, and arguments over her legacy. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about Baba Vanga like never before.

The Last Prophecy of Baba Vanga

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
The Last Prophecy of Baba Vanga is an illustrated, space action romance with a spiritual twist.The action takes place in the year 2029 when 29-year-old Maya Najour, NASA's first female Muslim-Christian astronaut, is given command of the NAUTILUS, the successor to the International Space Station. On its maiden mission, the station encounters "the mother of all meteor storms" from Comet Pavlova 2 (discovered by Maya's mother, Mila, an amateur astronomer). Maya loses her sight when she is 10 years old after seeing a stork in her dream. Two years later, she encounters a stork again, this time talking with the voice of the famous, blind Bulgarian prophetess, Baba Vanga, who cures Maya's blindness and reveals her last prophesy about the "visitors from Vamtim." Vanga passes on her gift of prophecy to Maya, who as an adult, experiences "waking nightmares" that foreshadow world events. Layla, Maya's 12-year-old daughter, also inherits the "gift" and paints the visions she sees in her dreams, which, most recently, are ice-encrusted landscapes. Her prophetic paintings are found throughout the book. Maya and her international crew have been given a critical mission: Stop the three mysterious objects named the TRIAD from colliding with the Earth. A Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic causes the crew's Dragon-X shuttle launch at Cape Canaveral to get scrubbed, which forces the crew to take the slower-paced space elevator. Maya is also dealing with another "TRIAD," deciding on who she really loves: her estranged husband Marco, a Cuban-American journalist, who went missing on his way to cover Cuba's first multi-party elections; her new boyfriend, Ivan Petrenko, 21 years her senior; or her best friend, Gabrielle Sevigny, an astrobotanist. What's inside those mysterious objects hurtling toward the Earth, and will the crew be able to stop them in time, or will they hit the planet and turn it into a giant snowball from an "impact winter?" The fate of the world is riding upon the shoulders of the 5-ft-8-inch, 12-year-old Layla, who finds herself in a unique position to solve the mystery and help the crew stop the TRIAD.

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
To “invite a monkey to tea” is to befriend your own mind-which is often compared to a drunken monkey for all its mad twists and turns. A wild monkey is full of irrepressible desires, and thus chases its own tail in its search for happiness! This book is about learning to welcome the mind as an ally without fear or resistance, thus relaxing that frantic search, discovering genuine contentment and resting in the joy of who you are. As a psychotherapist, author Nancy Colier has accompanied hundreds of people in their “search for happiness” for nearly two decades. She has watched her clients try everything under the sun to be-and stay-happy. Witnessing and participating in this process, she has become an expert in happiness, or more specifically, in the monkeymind’s search and demand for it, and the unhappiness that all the striving ultimately creates. Along the way, the author has come to understand the workings of the mind-both from her clients and by her own diligent practice of meditation and self-observation. This book distills the wisdom and experience of her dedicated work, and offers readers a roadmap of the territory of mind, plus a toolbox of practical means for identifying and working gently with the unrealistic expectations that keep us from the enjoyment of who we are. Nancy Colier is a brilliant guide who clearly marks this path of well being with her own presence, kindness and compassion. At this “tea party” the reader can relax, renew intention, learn new skills, and choose a road to lifelong contentment. Nancy is a psychotherapist, interfaith minister, and long time student of eastern spirituality. She is the author of Getting Out of Your Own Way: Unlocking Your True Performance Potential. Give Up the Endless Search for Happiness. Delight in a Life of Genuine Well Being. A Book for Seekers after Happiness Who Have Been Frustrated by the Search; for psychotherapists and their clients; for counselors, ministers and spiritual practitioners of any (or no) faith tradition. Inviting a Monkey to Tea shows you how to: • Identify addictive (and dead-end) approaches to happiness • Build a new relationship to self-caretaking, putting aside the tyranny of blame, fear, neglect and perfectionism • Befriend your mind, with gentleness and compassion • Enter and stay rooted in the present moment • Live with genuine well being and lasting contentme

Book Description
Time travel to years 2035, 2041 and 6938. See the future world though the eyes of heroes and villains. However, don't consider this book to be a pure science fiction and entertainment. This book is built on Illuminati Secret Knowledge and secret CIA reports of world events of 2035 and 2041 that no one except two Presidents and a few generals ever saw. Also the book is based on the serious scientific theories such as retro-causality when future is affecting the past as well as the accounts of people who claim that they saw the future: from Nostradamus and Baba Vanga to the accounts of so called modern time travelers. We researched dozens of them and found a couple of them to be credible because they are keep repeating the same things: some from the distant past while others are from the far future, so don't be surprised if you live though World War Three, the Great American Earthquake and Earth's orbit change till 2041 to see how accurately this book predicted other future events that seems insane today.
