Umbilicans of Babylon
Author: Richard Leviton
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1663260974
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 1047
Book Description
Do you ever think about solid ground? The author of this book does, a lot. Providing solid ground for consciousness is the umbilican function, he says. On January 1, 2020, the long-awaited Golden Age began. So did intense opposition to it from the shadows. It was like a thousand iron heels trying to stamp out spring blossoms. The dark forces exerted their manipulations in the outer world. The angelic contingent counterpointed in the subtle realm. The Earth wobbled. This is an insider’s report from three men who worked alongside the “good guys” to adjust the planet’s Light grid to better support the flowering of human consciousness that had been intended for this date and to resist, even undermine, the infernal opposition. These “good guy” benefactors included angels, archangels, the Great White Brotherhood, even some of the friendly Dead. Ronald, our narrator, with Joe and Mike, his dependable pals, call themselves geomantic engineers. They work on the Light grid, the subtle energy infrastructure of the Earth that supports the material world. They’re like electric utility pole linemen, up there in their extendable buckets, but their main tools are clairvoyance and knowledge of the mechanics of the planet’s many Light temples and systems. Ronald provides a vivid field account of an astonishing array of geomantic interventions and “adjustments” made in the last several years to shore up that potentially fabulous Golden Age, despite the dark forces’ protracted attempts to derail and smash it. The struggle reveals an Earth like you’ve never seen before. Our planet was designed to keep consciousness aligned with the spiritual world, galaxy, and beyond. People were supposed to feel firmly anchored in their bodies and planet. The Earth was meant to be the “gate of the gods,” the original pure meaning of Babylon. In recent centuries, that smooth reciprocal relationship has been upset. Light forces are trying to uplift awareness, dark forces to suppress it. Jump into Ronald’s riveting account to see how it all plays out.

By the Waters of Babylon
Author: Benjamin W. Farley
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1630873756
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
The Psalms have long been the preferred prayer book of souls in quest of God's guidance and comfort. It has been a hymnbook for the soul and a trove for canticles and verses of the heart. The Psalms have served both Judaism and Christianity's religious communities as a favored source of rich and magnificent readings perfect for liturgical settings. Most significantly, they have nurtured the soul in its desperate times of brokenness and longing for God. This is true of both religions and of their various branches across the years. For that reason, the Psalter ranks among the noblest of spiritual masterpieces, cherished for its eloquent and poignant prayers that lift the heart to God even as they bring God down to mend the soul. We need such times of private and communal withdrawal into the sphere where God alone reins. Solitariness with God heals the heart's wounds, individually and communally. Alone with God, God sees us as we are and allows us to acknowledge ourselves as we are--at our best and worst, in our joy and folly. The Psalms remind us that God is inescapably present wherever we allow God in to renew, inspire, redeem, and fulfill the highest hopes of our human capacity. By the Waters of Babylon provides meditations on all 150 of the Psalter's hymns. They are written to speak to the heart as well as to the mind and soul in search of grace and consolation.

New Day in Babylon
Author: William L. Van Deburg
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022617235X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
The most comprehensive account available of the rise and fall of the Black Power Movement and of its dramatic transformation of both African-American and larger American culture. With a gift for storytelling and an ear for street talk, William Van Deburg chronicles a decade of deep change, from the armed struggles of the Black Panther party to the cultural nationalism of artists and writers creating a new aesthetic. Van Deburg contends that although its tactical gains were sometimes short-lived, the Black Power movement did succeed in making a revolution—one in culture and consciousness—that has changed the context of race in America. "New Day in Babylon is an extremely intelligent synthesis, a densely textured evocation of one of American history's most revolutionary transformations in ethnic group consciousness."—Bob Blauner, New York Times Winner of the Gustavus Myers Center Outstanding Book Award, 1993

Enter the Babylon System
Author: Rodrigo Bascunan
Publisher: Vintage Canada
ISBN: 0307368467
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
A docu-style investigation of our fascination with the gun, from the perspective of the hip-hop generation. The 2003 shooting death of Toronto community-centre worker Kempton Howard put the spotlight on hip hop’s fixation with guns. Media and police soon blamed rap music and its tales of gang life on bullet-ridden US streets for the rising use of firearms in Canadian crime. Were these songs artful accounts of a terrible truth, or a self-fulfilling prophecy? Rodrigo Bascunan and Christian Pearce have interviewed many of the major players in the hip-hop world. As publishers of an award-winning magazine of urban culture, they’d watched rap music become a scapegoat for society’s much older and widely spread fascination with guns. What follows is their international adventure to deconstruct modern gun culture in all its manifestations. Bascunan and Pearce seek out hip-hop artists, illegal gun runners, firearms aficionados and manufacturers, museum curators, academics, politicians, video-game creators, activists, victims of gun violence and the family and friends left behind. Somewhere between Fast Food Nation, No Logo and a Michael Moore documentary, featuring sly sidebar material and original artwork, Enter the Babylon System is part outrageous journalistic pursuit and part passionate cri de coeur for sanity in the face of a society’s obsession.
