Book Description
Born around 1,000 years ago, most probably in Tuscany, Guido d’Arezzo is remembered as the father of modern musical notation. His musical contributions surpassed all former methods of writing music, which did not represent the exact notes to be sung or played. He developed a linear system of musical notation capable of indicating pitch with absolute precision. His innovations accompanied a cultural crisis fundamental to the growth of Western music. While still a boy, Guido entered the Benedictine monastery at Pomposa, on the Adriatic coast. He probably died in the hermitage of Fonte Avellana in about 1050. This book envisions his life in relation to ancient musical history, to plainchant, and to the glories and conflicts of medieval monasticism. In writing of Guido, the author reveals her love for Italy and her fascination with Gregorian chant and Catholic traditions. She says, “Few documents remain concerning Guido’s life. I had to create a framework around his existence, considering ancient musical traditions, plainchant, medieval monasticism, the Italian countryside, and the revolutionary importance of clear notation.”

Book Description
The Shekhinah is Coming offers a comprehensive, detailed, and mind-expanding study of ancient wisdom that includes sacred text to illuminate these teachings and breaks down some of the religious boundaries that continue to separate mankind. It offers an opportunity to expand the thought process by blending the enshrouded mysteries of ancient wisdom with history, science, sacred geometry, myths, and legends. Author Valjean Tchakirides demonstrates that the three major religions are more alike than different, illustrating their shared beginnings. We are all connected to God, as is revealed in the ancient texts of the Bible and the Quran. The life of Jesus is described as set in the constellations to be forever constant and seen without any religious oversight. It makes clear that the old laws no longer exist and only two laws remain to be followed. Those two laws are about one thing and only one thingLOVE. The Shekhinah is Coming presents a circular study of the Divine plan that ends where it begins"in light". It also offers an explanation of the recent NASA discoveries and how they relate to 2012 and Jerusalem. Visually appealing, this text includes pictures that provide a visual aid to an understanding that will lead the seeker to empowerment and enlightenment.
