His father's origins and disappearance are shrouded by family secrets. His sole remembrance of his father is flying through the stars nestled in his arms. Any comfort Preston derives is from an unseen advisor who teaches him of the invisible world. Now he is coming of age. Memories arrive from long ago when a brown-skinned woman cared for him.

BLOOD AND JADE tells of his mother, Lady Quetzal. Armed with little more than prophecy, vowing to regain the Jade Crown, she takes Pacal into exile. Hunted by the enemy, cut off from all she loves, Lady Quetzal grows as both leader and mystic until the gods Themselves become her allies. The perilous adventures of seven-year-old Pacal are also told in BLOOD AND JADE.

BLOOD AND JADE illuminates the time of the Classic Maya when majestic cities adorn the jungle like jewels, when Lords of The Blood wage taboo wars, when foreigners maraud ancient borders, and when common people suffer and despair. It is a story of magic and myth, when the powers of the human spirit triumph over all.

Book Synopsis Quantum Creativity by : Amit Goswami
Download or read book Quantum Creativity written by Amit Goswami and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2014-03-03 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this mind-expanding work, physicist Amit Goswami, Ph.D., explores the world of human creativity—the ultimate source of joy and fulfillment—through the lens of quantum physics, and offers up a unique way to nurture and enhance your own creativity. According to quantum physics, reality occurs on two levels: possibility and actuality. Goswami uses this same duality to explore what he calls "quantum thinking," which focuses on two levels of thinking—the conscious mind of actuality and the unconscious mind of possibility. He then poses questions that probe the wellspring of creation that exists in each of us. What is creativity? Can anyone be creative? What kinds of creativity are there? And through this inquiry, he lays out a guidebook for understanding the power of the mind to access creativity in a whole new way. Combining the art of creativity with the objectivity of science, Quantum Creativity uses empirical data to support this new method of thinking and outlines how to harness our innate abilities in order to live more creatively. In short, Goswami teaches you how to think quantum to be creative.

Book Synopsis The Strong Eye of Shamanism by : Robert E. Ryan
Download or read book The Strong Eye of Shamanism written by Robert E. Ryan and published by Inner Traditions / Bear & Co. This book was released on 1999 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of shamanism and the archetypal symbolism that sits at the foundation of all human life • Not just an academic work. Helps the reader experience the actual mindset of the shaman • Presents a cohesive view of the recurrent patterns of symbolism and visionary experience that underlie all religion The human psyche contains archetypal patterns largely lost to contemporary society but which shamans have employed for over 30,000 years to gain access to the spiritual world. Shamanic symbols both affect and reflect these durative patterns that exist, with uncanny similarity, in civilizations separated by expanses of time and distance. The Strong Eye of Shamanism draws together the many facets of the art of shamanism, presenting a cohesive view of the recurrent patterns of symbolism and visionary experience that underlie its practice. The "strong eye" of the title refers to the archetypal symbolism that sits at the foundation of all human life--whether in Paleolithic caves or today's temples. The author asserts that society has become separated from the power of those symbols that lead us into deeper understanding of our spirituality. In today's world of splintered psyches, a world in which people are in search of their souls, shamanism survives as an age-old technology of soul recovery, a living Rosetta stone that reminds us of the shared foundation that exists beneath even the most radically different perspectives. Through its study of shamanism, archetypal psychology, and symbolism, The Strong Eye of Shamanism encourages individuals--and society--to look inward and remember that the deepest forms of awareness begin with the knowledge that the answers reside within us.

Book Synopsis Serpent Vision: Science, Metaphor, Story by : Betsey Grobecker
Download or read book Serpent Vision: Science, Metaphor, Story written by Betsey Grobecker and published by Northshire Bookstore. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In mythology, the inner journey to release the conditioning of inherited cultural beliefs is essential to adult life. It is the journey of flowing with life's intelligent, self-reflective movement that expands inward/outward, while transforming all that it touches. Moving within the rhythmic "dance" of the cosmic mind that the serpent embodies, a former "truth" is continuously shed to know a new "truth." This book presents the sciences and spiritual traditions that served to reveal, at various points of my journey, the wisdom inherent to life itself. I also share significant life events that show the "messiness" of my inner journey as I continually shed cherished truths, identities, and support systems that no longer served me. Sacred, subtle energies whose beauty humbled me were expanded into, as well as potent energies of fear and doubt that led me to frequently question my sanity in choices made. This book serves to inspire those who are ready to question taught truths, to go deeper into their questioning and to encourage those already on their journey, to stay with the process of transformation as its inevitable challenges are met.
Book Synopsis Sacred Gardens and Landscapes by : Michel Conan
Download or read book Sacred Gardens and Landscapes written by Michel Conan and published by Dumbarton Oaks. This book was released on 2007 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of rituals in sacred gardens and landscapes offer tantalizing insights into the significance of gardens and landscapes in the societies of India, ancient Greece, Pre-Columbian Mexico, medieval Japan, post-Renaissance Europe, and America. Sacred gardens and landscapes engaged their visitors into three specific modes of agency: as anterooms spurring encounters with the netherworld; as journeys through mystical lands; and as a means of establishing a sense of locality, metaphorically rooting the dweller's own identity in a well-defined part of the material world. Each section of this book is devoted to one of these forms of agency. Together the essays reveal a profound cultural significance of gardens previously overlooked by studies of garden styles.
