Miracles Happen

The Transformational Healing Power of Past-Life Memories

Brian L. Weiss & Amy E. Weiss

Genre: Spirituality

Price: $12.99

Publish Date: October 2, 2012

Publisher: HarperOne

Seller: HarperCollins


As a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss was skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas. Yet these memories allowed her to recover from her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks in a way he'd never experienced. His skepticism eroded further when she began to channel messages from "the space between lives" and reveal truths about his dead son that she never could have known. Now a leader in the field of past-life therapy, Dr. Weiss has helped thousands connect with their past lives and experience tremendous healing. In Miracles Happen , Weiss, along with his daughter, Amy, shares these remarkable real-life stories to reveal how past-life regression holds the keys to our spiritual purpose. The awareness that we have multiple lifetimes, separated by spiritual interludes on the other side, helps to dissolve the fear of death and bring more peace and joy into the present moment. And in Miracles Happen , personal stories, accompanied by Dr. Weiss's inspiring teachings, reveal how getting in touch with our past lives can profoundly and permanently heal mind and body. In the end, we come away inspired, renewed, and assured of the truth that we are eternal beings who are free to heal our current wounds by better understanding our past. It's a practice that helps us improve our current lives, evolve along our spiritual paths, and live each day with purpose.

A Space-Based Telescope for the People Wants Your Support

In just a few short days, Planetary Resources, a fledgling space mining company, has raised more than $500,000 from the fine citizens of the world for their project to put a small space telescope into orbit around the Earth—one that would be controllable by regular folks down on the ground. With the telescope, a 200 millimeter orbiting telescope known as the Arkyd, you’d be able to take photos of the planet, of the stars, or of the other awesome things poking around in the solar system.

The team is looking to raise $1,000,000, and with 30 days left to go on their Kickstarter fundraiser it seems likely they’ll hit the mark.

The telescope’s big selling point for those not interested in doing planetary sciences is the option for you to take a “space selfie.” The Arkyd has a little camera pointing at a little screen aboard the telescope. With the selfie-cam, you’ll be able to take a photo of the screen with the cosmos as a backdrop. On the screen, you can display a photo, a graphic, whatever you want.

The project is being put together by Planetary Resources, a company whose main purpose is to mine asteroids for minerals. So, as cool as it is, the Arkyd kickstarter is sort of like paying De Beers to take you on a safari. Check out their slick promotional video:

According to the Economist, the relatively cheap $1 million price tag of the space telescope is enabled by a two trends:

The revolution has been made possible by two developments: the realisation of long dreamt-of nanosatellites that pack control systems, solar panels, scientific instruments, communications and computing gear into devices little larger than a mobile phone; and crowd-funding websites that turn the public’s enthusiasm for space into viable businesses.

Aside from taking space selfies, you can buy time on the telescope for schools and museums. Planetary Resources’ goal with the for-the-people telescope is to encourage enthusiasm for space research.

People care about stuff they can participate in,” says Peter Diamandis, co-founder of Planetary Resources. “Space for the last 50 years has been non-participatory. This is making space cooler and more fun.” The risk that fun might supplant function is something Mr Diamandis rejects. He is adamant that providing a “photo booth in space” will not detract from Planetary Resources’ primary aim of prospecting for minernal-rich near-Earth asteroids.

Masters over, it’s back to the books for Guan

hh

<!– google_ad_section_start –> AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — No matter what the leaderboard says, Guan Tianlang leaves the Masters a winner. Making history from the moment he stepped on the first tee Thursday, the 14-year-old made quite an impression on Augusta National. He finished the week without a double bogey, and never had a three-putt. (Not one that counted, anyway, though Guan was quick to point out he had one from off the green.) With a 75 on Sunday, he finished the tournament at 12-over 300 — maybe not a threat to the leaders, but not the worst score, either. <!– google_ad_section_end –>

By: Helene

I have been checking in with your website over a year now. I still think what you offer is incredible. I know so many people who would benefit from your offer. * However, it is just not afforable for the average person – at least not at the beginning. Later, of course, it pays off. Hopefully, you will offer workshops in other locations so that it would be more accessible and affordable for travel. (We live outside of Fort Bragg, NC) Some of us learn best by seeing and doing. My thoughts are, getting several friends to join me. (We are all young-female senior citizens, on fixed budgets) and start at the very smallest level. I have plenty of yard space, it’s just a matter of we single females getting an afforable and viable start. Anyway, Keep up the good work. It is a very good thing you are doing in light of how our country (and world) is going. Regards, Helene *I am meeting today with the Director of Cumberland County’s continuum for feeding and caring for the homeless. The statistics of homeless people here in Fayetteville for women, children, families and veterans is very high.
