    This book is an authorized translation of the original book that was written in Croatian in 1966. What follows was written by the original publisher. There is no stronger or more reliable material than the one that is born from one’s own experience. Eyewitnesses and direct participants provide us with not only the facts, but also that sublimely human spirit common to all happenings in which people participate. It doesn’t matter that this account is about the fear that the people of Jasenovac experienced, or about the deeds of their torturers. For every one hundred thousand people in the Jasenovac camp during its horrifying four-year existence, there was only one—literally one—who survived. Those were the odds in the balance of life and death: one hundred thousand dead and one alive. And there is a witness, right in front of us, who found the strength to reminisce, to go back to the place of his torture, to break the psychological barriers, and to lead us step by step through his nightmare, through waves of terror that exceed every notion of horror. From the beginning of his time at Jasenovac to the end, Egon Berger was witness—and victim—to a rampage without limit. Of those who survived, he is the only one who told the story. Berger does not bring us a literary masterpiece—he brings us only the experience, a story about forty-four months of his life in a camp, told simply. A story is enough—a story that calls images to mind and makes us tremble with the thought, “Are such things possible?” For myself and every person who had been to Jasenovac and lived, it is a miracle that we survived. Yes, it is possible, it is real, and it is true. A terror arose in front of us from the oblivion. It should not be forgotten. Share this record with future generations who will hopefully not know such terror. Ivo Frol, 1966

    Now in his latest work Banned Manifestation Secrets, Richard Dotts delves even deeper into the spiritual world of manifestations, the Law of Attraction, and the direct shaping of energy to explain how you can create whatever you want in life... every single time, with very few exceptions. Writing from his own personal experience and pitfalls, Dotts shares why the Law of Attraction seems to work beautifully for some people but not for others. Or why it works in certain cases, for certain things, and not for others (for example, the "big" stuff). His study and interpretation of both ancient and modern manifestation traditions may delight and shock you. What most modern self-help and Law of Attraction books teach is essentially a 'watered-down' version of creating one's own reality. They take a very formulaic or recipe-like approach to manifestation: Do this, then that, followed by that... But this is clearly not the way ancient spiritual masters approached manifestations and the creative process. Ancient spritual teachers did not have a fixed formula through which to create. Instead, they used their inner states to shape and influence the energy fields directly. Modern man in a scientific age is trying to do what they did, through lots of affirmations, forcefulness, and rationalizations in a very convoluted way, resulting in lots of wasted and misdirected effort. As Richard Dotts points out in this book, the art of manifesting is not about what you DO. It is about what you FEEL and who you are inside. The key to successful manifestations lies in cultivating an inner state of being that is conducive to allow such manifestations to happen in your own life. What's covered in the book: * The #1 misconception about manifestations and the "Law of Attraction", that is unknowingly perpetuated by every new book or "technique" out there (Once you understand this principle, you'll greatly increase your effectiveness as a "conscious manifestor") * What the ancient spiritual masters (Jesus, Buddha) know about manifestations and creating your own reality* Is it true that certain manifestation principles are secrets and deliberately hidden from the general public? Are they "banned" or forbidden in any way? * 4 ways to state your intention clearly, irrevocably to the Universe (No, this does not involve affirmations or visualizations. Instead, Dotts explains how the Universe picks up on every single one of your intentions... every single time.)* Scientific proof that you REALLY have access to an unlimited stream of income, money, well-being, or anything that you want. If you have never been convinced by the New Age talk about having faith, then you need to read Dotts' scientific answer to this question. * The #1 hurdle to effective manifestations and how to remove it * How to get rid of negative doubts, beliefs, fears and worries which just seem to arise spontaneously along with your desires... thus preventing them from sabotaging your efforts (Dotts explains one easy, and one difficult way to achieve this.) * What happens every single time when your manifestations fail to appear? * Tools to speed up your manifestations and the attraction process* Is action needed / necessary in the manifestation process?

    Now, in this book of astonishing true tales of love and sex in long-ago Greece, Rome, and other cultures around the Mediterranean, she opens the doors to shadowy rooms and parts the curtains of decorum.León goes far beyond what we think we know about sex in ancient times, taking readers on a randy tour of aphrodisiacs and anti-aphrodisiacs, contraception, nymphomania, bisexuality, cross-dressing, and gender-bending. She explains citizens' fear of hermaphrodites, investigates the stinging price paid for adultery despite the ease of divorce, introduces readers to a surprising array of saucy pornographers, and even describes the eco-friendly dildos used by libidinous ancients.
