The Problematic Religious and Political Situation in Today’s
Middle East

Manu Bakh spearheaded the development and curriculum planning of Iran’s largest naval training facility that after the Islamic revolution became Ayatollah Khomeini’s largest prison. Manu, a high-ranking officer in the Imperial Navy of Iran, was subjected to harrowing experiences with the new regime and miraculously escaped with his life. His living story, documented in his book, Escaping Islam, exemplifies the free world’s necessity to deal with the aggressive Islamic movement, supported by oil money that does not reflect the democratic yearning of the people for a Western-style modern life. www.escapingislam.com

Healing Our Trauma;
Healing Our World

Ruth Gould-Goodman, author of The Sacred Book of U,  pioneer explorer of the neuro-plasticity of our brain and the wisdom of the Body,  asserts that to heal our current social, political and economic impasse, we must first heal the relationship with our internal creative possibility.  If our connection to power is disrupted by ancient traumas, our outer world reflects this unconscious fragmentation back to us.  She offers a simple, accessible method to internally rewire the stagnation, depression and sense of victimization imprisoning our creative potential, guiding us to “fluid state stem cell energy,” the portal to a profound creativity that can heal, in the present paradigm, what appears to be broken. www.ruthgouldgoodman.com

Taking the "Ow" Out of Power:
Chance Favors the Prepared Mind

Our ability to take intelligent action depends
upon the depth of our vision and the quality of
our understanding. The smaller the perspective
the more likely we are to shoot ourselves in the
foot. Knowledge is based on a reasonable
account of actual events and their reliable
feedback; Opinion upon unreasonable perceptions
by which a wrong answer is better than no
answer at all;  Belief is a mystical premise, not necessarily truth but, faith. Arthyr W.
Chadbourne, third generation astrologer, author
of the award-winning Ancient Whispers from
Chaldea and most recently, The Moment of
Truth, explores and reveals the underlying soul
of the astrological chart, his trained eye reading
obvious messages in celestial configurations
to provide reliable feedback.

How to Let Your Spirit
Move You

Louise P. Hauck, futurist, intuitive, and time-traveling clairvoyant,  is the author of Beyond Boundaries, The Adventures of a Seer, Heart-Links, and Fearless Future.  She has had the gift from early childhood to view beyond the physical dimension where all time exists simultane-ously, thus challenging our limited perceptions of time and piercing the illusion of death.   She opens a corridor to the past, through which we receive gifts from our challenges, and to the future, from where a higher, expanded aspect of our consciousness, Source, nurtures and guides us in the present.  She shows how it is possible to change the past and shift the present and future; and she interprets future information for purposes that are relevant to the present. www.louisehauck.com
