Allowing Divine Intervention


Richard Dotts - 2014
    It does not help that ancient religious texts have portrayed “miracles” as extraordinary events beyond the comprehension of the average person.In his latest book Allowing Divine Intervention, Richard Dotts explains how miracles and divine interventions are not reserved for the select few, but can instead be experienced by anyone willing to change their current perceptions of reality. Instead of writing another book filled with stories of other people’s miracles and tales of divine intervention which may make good bedtime reading but be of little practical help, Dotts shares the simple steps one needs to follow to experience miracles in their own lives. Miracles are deeply personal affairs that can occur on a regular basis for anyone. The Universe is so ready to intervene on our behalf that when such interventions occur, their meanings will be instantly made known and clear to us at a very deep level. Therefore, Dotts teaches that we should never use what other people’s experiences to set expectations of our own. Trying to “replicate” someone else’s “miracles” is thus a recipe for disappointment. Perhaps the most practice-oriented book ever written by Richard Dotts, Allowing Divine Intervention draws on Dotts’ own experiences, including his own struggles with depression and conflicts, and the lessons he has learnt from them. Dotts uses everyday anecdotes to explain: * How to deal with pressing problems in your life as they occur in a spiritual way* The 3-step approach to asking for divine intervention, no matter the outer circumstances or the issue* How to allow the Universe to “get through” to you with creative insights, solutions and ideas that the greatest thinkers and artists in our generation often speak of* Is it alright to ask the Universe to fulfill your “small” requests?* One kind of requests you should never ask the Universe for* What are synchronicities (a concept coined by Carl Jung), and how to allow more meaningful synchronicities in your life* The Quantum Physics “observer” effect, and how it relates to a key principle with regards to creating miracles in your life* Why you should "dial" 955 whenever you need a divine intervention, and not 911! (Understanding the 95-5 code is the fastest way to allow divine interventions into your life)And more…

Son of the Tree / The Houses of Iszm (Ace Double, 77525)


Jack Vance - 1964

It was the soul of life, trampling and vanquishing the inert, an Joe understood how it had come to be worshipped by the first settlers of Kyril. For Joe Smith, the sight of the tree was the beginning of an experience that would forever change his life. He had journeyed into space in search of a man, but found instead the Tree. A Tree which held the power of life-and-death over millions of slaves!"The Houses of Iszm:"The inhabitants of a planet called Iszm, a species known as the Iszic, have evolved the native giant trees into living homes, with all needs and various luxuries supplied by the trees' own natural growth. The Iszic maintain a jealously-guarded monopoly, exporting only enough trees to keep prices high and make a great profit. The protagonist, Aile Farr, is a human botanist who goes to Iszm (like many others before him, of many species) to steal a female tree, which might allow the propagation of the species off world and break the monopoly."

The Rose of the World


Daniil Leonidovich Andreev - 1991
    It is a journey to places where, according to the author, many of us have already been but about which we have forgotten. It is also a journey within, into that psychological space where our ideas and beliefs about God, spirituality, and religion reside. During both journeys, we are likely to encounter wonder and recognition, skepticism and acceptance, rejection and admiration, confusion and long-sought understanding. For some, this journey will be the start of a much larger one; for some it is but one more leg of a journey undertaken earlier; in any case, The Rose of the World is not a final destination." Completed in 1959, hidden from the Soviet secret police for twenty years, The Rose of the World was first made public through excerpts in the magazine Novy Mir in 1989. The Rose of the World is a unique and poetic cosmological treatise, passionately written out of personal spiritual experience. It offers a prophetic call for the spiritual reunification of all people and an open and harmonious relationship among the great world religions. For Daniel Andreev, The Rose of the world is a spiritual flower whose roots are in heaven; each petal is a unique image of the great world religions and cultures, and the whole flower is their joint co-creation with God.Lindisfarne Books is proud to publish the first English translation of this masterpiece of contemporary Russian spiritual literature, a work that belongs to Russian religious thought in the tradition of Vladimir Soloviev, and to the West in the tradition of Dante and Blake--truly a work for the twenty-first century.
