        Transcendent Dreaming

        Stepping into Our Human Potential

        by Christina Donnell, PhD

        Transcendent Dreaming: Stepping into Our Human Potential (Winds of Change Books, October 2008) by Christina Donnell, PhD, recounts a series of dreams that, much to the author's surprise, revealed within her a capacity for prophecy, clairvoyance, stepping out of time, materialization, and ultimately, a state of oneness with all creation. These faculties of expanded consciousness, she proposes, lie dormant in humankind, ready to be awakened. This multiple award-winning book chronicles Donnell's radical spiritual awakening through "transcendent dreaming," a form of dreaming that expands consciousness, allowing dreamers to identify with the intelligence that animates the universe. Through example, the book invites readers to access their infinite nature by delving into their own dream experiences. In the process, it eases theirtransition from identifying with the individual self to identifying with the underlying intelligence pervading the universe. This blueprint for a transcendent humanity guides us toward a future of inner peace, joy, and wonderment independent of external circumstances. Donnell offers ten of her own dreams, not so much as revelatory epiphanies, rather as sources of inspiration so that readers will want to delve deeply into their own dream experiences. Her dreams are organized in a way that lets readers witness the dream experiences as they unfolded, and learning more about their significance for expanding consciousness and accessing transcendent reality.

        The Spiritual Lives of Scientists

        by Paul J. Mills, Ph.D.

        Spirituality is the Final Frontier for ScienceContrary to popular belief, not all scientists are materialists fervently discounting the spiritual. Science, Being, & Becoming is about the spiritual lives of scientists, their actual transpersonal, metaphysical and mystical experiences. The book's material is derived from intimate interviews with over 30 scientists as they describe the circumstances under which they had the experiences and how those experiences changed their consciousness, transformed their belief systems about the nature of the world, and changed their scientific work.

        Journey in Trumplandia: The Rise of Populism in America

        by Tiberiu Dianu

        The book is a collection of essays about the transformation of America, which has turned from a united nation to one more divided than ever. Some pundits predict that, if things don’t change, another civil war could occur. Have we reached a point of no return? Hopefully, America is mature enough to learn from its mistakes and avoid further scars along its evolving history. "Trumplandia is a welcome addition toward understanding current events, Washington’s international policy, and the present American society; a society polarized and divided as it has not been since the Civil War.” NICHOLAS DIMA, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor and Research Associate, Nelson Institute, James Madison University, Virginia. "The book is fascinating. It provides background to, and insights into [the] current and past political history as well as offering a personal view... of the country and society. Presented in thematic form in chapters and sections, the insights offered provide a suggestive radiography...” Dr. DENNIS DELETANT, OBE, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Washington DC. "There has been this backsliding in... what a truly functioning rule-of-law state is, that has proper separation of co-equal powers, which, if you don’t keep working on that, you backslide. And I am even worried about that here, in the United States right now, about backsliding.” OBIE MOORE, Esq., OLM Advisors LLC, Washington DC “Indeed, Trumplandia should be a welcome addition to any scholar, student or layman’s library, especially in its international edition. If anyone loses sleep over its challenging assertions, then it will have been well worth it.” ERNESTO MORALES HIZON, Ph.D. Candidate in American and Comparative Politics at Claremont Graduate University, Member, Integrated Bar of the Philippines ABOUT THE AUTHOR: TIBERIU DIANU has practiced law in Romania (as a corporate lawyer, judge, senior counselor at the Ministry of Justice, university professor and senior legal researcher), and in the United States (as a legal expert for the judiciary). He published several books and a host of articles in law, politics, and post-communist societies. Tiberiu currently lives and works in Washington, DC.

        Zekamerone

        Geschichten aus dem Gefängnis

        by Maxim Znak, Volker Weichsel, Henriette Reisner

        In einer auf Zellengröße geschrumpften Welt gewinnt jedes Detail an Bedeutung: die Kakerlake, die ihren Job macht, die Mausefalle, mit der sich die Zeit totschlagen lässt, die seltsamen Rhythmen des kollektiven Schnarchens, wie sie der Schlaflose wahrnimmt.Maxim Znak, ein brillanter Jurist und prominentes Mitglied der belarussischen Oppositionsbewegung, wurde im Herbst 2020 verhaftet und im September 2021 zu zehn Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt. In seinem Zekamerone (von »zek«, dem russischen Akronym für Häftling), das er im ersten Jahr seiner Haft schrieb, erweist er sich als begabter Schriftsteller – pointiert, ironisch und mit erstaunlichem Humor erzählt er in einhundert »mini stories« von seinem neuen Alltag. Seine Geschichten legen Zeugnis ab von Widerstand und Selbstbehauptung, vom leisen und lauten Verrücktwerden. Maxim Znak, Jg, 1982, prominentes Mitglied der belarussischen Oppositionsbewegung und Anwalt von Maria Kalesnikava, sitzt seit dem 9. September 2020 in einem Minsker Gefängnis. Sein »Zekamerone« (von zek, dem russischen Akronym für Häftling), eine Sammlung von einhundert mini stories, hat er während des ersten Jahres in Haft in ein Notizbuch notiert, das nach draußen gelangte.

        Socially Competent Kids

        How to Stimulate the Eight Key Social and Emotional Skills of your Child

        by Steven Pont

        What makes children truly happy? The answer to that question is simple, but challenging: their social-emotional competences. Socially competent kids feel good and are more successful in different aspects of life.   One of the most important tasks of a parent is therefore to support their children in developing social skills. This book shows parents how to encourage the social-emotional development of their children. It distinguishes eight skills: awareness of the self, social awareness, self-management, goal oriented behaviour, relational skills, personal responsibility, decision making, and positive thinking.   After giving a clear introduction on social-emotional development, the author explains these skills in more detail in eight chapters. Each chapter contains a detailed real-life example, psychological background information, and practical interventions ready for use by parents, teachers and other caretakers. The interventions and examples are aimed at four to twelve year olds.
