Wand Your Way To Healthy Living: The Miracle of Zero Point Energy Wand Healing

By: Bruce Goldwell

Wanding is based on real science, not science-fiction. It is not the case of someone scooping up some water from a stream high in the mountains and calling it the fountain of youth. Nor is wanding like choosing a berry from some distant country and saying it is a miracle anti-aging solution for longer life. Wanding comes to us from a history of bio-electromagnetic healing that dates back to the 1890's. From Tesla's published paper on "High Frequency Oscillators for Electro-Therapeutic and Other Purposes" in 1898 and Georges Lakhovsky's published paper on "Curing Cancer with Ultra Radio Frequencies" to the modern-day publication of Dr. Robert Becker's book “The Body Electric”, science has been leading us to this moment in time where each individual can be empowered to have greater control over their health and well-being than at any time in the history of mankind. This book is for Iyashi wand owners only or those considering getting an Iyashi Wand. It will help readers understand the history of the technology and how it will benefit them. "I am a metaphysician and have been involved in counseling and healing for over 40 years. One of the most exciting days of my life was when I found your book and ordered my zero-point energy wand. Nothing has been the same since then. Thank you so much for the work that you have done and continue to do to help people heal and live healthy lives." - Dr Catherine Thayer

The Light Alliance

Energy Centers Openings And Healing Modality

By: Gordon Bruce Waldie

Many people today are searching for a healing modality that addresses the totality of their being, not just the physical body alone. To be unified and balanced in body, mind, and spirit, is to be whole, in Oneness, and living their lives in joy, happiness, and peace. It is in this state of Oneness where they experience optimal health and well-being, and express the fullness of their true nature. They remember all they were intended to be as an eternal spiritual being in human form. The Light Alliance Energy Centers Openings and Healing Modality addresses, unifies, and balances every aspect of our being, enabling us to achieve the optimal health and well-being attainable at this stage of our evolutionary development. This is holistic healing. Its benefits are for everyone. While it is simple and easy to learn, the application of Universal Life Force Energy, or ULFE, throughout the energy centers openings and healing modality session can produce extraordinary results. The text covers, in detail, each phase of the modality. The hand positions are accompanied by illustrations that enable them to be quickly and easily learned. The universal application of life force energy will enhance the health and well-being of those who experience it. The first section of the book provides background material to establish a foundation of knowledge. This is a spiritual approach to health and well-being. We discuss the benefits of approaching this subject from the universal viewpoint of the spirit rather than just the limited viewpoint of the physical aspect of our being. We discuss the Awakening, or the shift in our consciousness from being influenced and directed by our ego to being influenced and directed by our spirit. This modality encompasses the totality of who we are, not just the physical body alone. To unify the body with the mind and the spirit is to become whole and balanced in each aspect of our being. This unification opens the door to experiencing our optimal health and well-being. By understanding Universal Life Force Energy, or ULFE, we comprehend who we truly are and the unlimited potential that its application can have for us to be able to live joyful, happy, healthy lives. We also discuss what the energy centers and meridians are, what they do, and how they are cleansed of lower frequency energies associated with illnesses and the disharmony so often experienced in our lives, both within and without. Principal and additional sources of ULFE are explained, in depth, to further establish an understanding of the energy, and its availability to us, as we grow in our knowledge of it. This is the natural outcome that we experience as we more fully comprehend what the energy is doing throughout each phase of the energy centers openings and healing modality. Before we begin our discussions pertaining to the actual sessions, an overview is presented to provide a framework to be filled in by the chapters to follow. The three phases of the program, the Questionnaire, The Energy Centers Openings, and The Healing Modality, fill in and complete the framework established during the overview. All the energy centers and hand positions for the energy centers openings and healing modality are sequentially presented in the illustrations chapter. Advanced methods of applying the energy broaden our understanding of its use in particular circumstances where condensed energy is to be pinpointed or delivered to a recipient at a physical distance from where the practitioner resides. For those who desire to conduct the modality, we provide a chapter that introduces each of the three levels of certification. Course curriculum, minimum requirements, and educational prerequisites are listed for those who have an interest in advancing their knowledge and become actively involved with conducting the modality for the benefit of others, as well as themselves. These are the Practitioner One and Practitioner Two levels. For those who desire to

Witches' Craft

A Multidenominational Wicca Bible

By: Bruce K. Wilborn

Do you seek to know more about the foundation and modern practices of witchcraft? In Witches’ Craft, Bruce Wilborn demystifies Wicca—a religion that is loving and nonjudgmental. Wicca’s strength is in its ability to provide spiritual light for a truly diverse group of people. However, its expansive range of rituals and traditions may be confusing to the new practitioner. Witches’ Craft provides detailed explanations of practices from each of the five major Wiccan traditions, removing the shroud of mystery surrounding one of the fastest-growing religions of the twenty-first century.

Practicing the Promise

More Sermons for the Lectionary, Year C, Advent through Eastertide

By: Bruce L. Taylor

The Scripture readings for Year C of the Common Lectionary (Revised) pair the Gospel of Luke, rich in its unique stories surrounding Jesus’ birth, Jesus’ care for the marginalized, and parables at once beloved and profound, with Old Testament and epistolary testimony to life-imparting faith in God’s promises. Bruce Taylor’s homiletical proclamation through the first half of Year C expounds the gospel’s summons to live today in hopeful reliance upon all that God has pledged to those who trust the Bible’s testimony to God’s faithfulness. Like his previous collections of sermons for the Sundays and feast days of the Christian year, the penultimate volume in this veteran preacher’s second journey through the lectionary is theologically rich, sacramentally oriented, and ecumenically sensitive, celebrating the church’s unity and community as witness to Christ’s living presence in the world. The sermons, including representative story sermons, speak as powerfully to clergy as to laity, to seminarians as to parishioners, evoking ardent commitment and lives characterized by gratitude, grace, hospitality, humility, and love. This book will be a welcome addition on the bookshelf or, better, on the desk and nightstand.

The Caryatids

A Novel

By: Bruce Sterling

Alongside William Gibson and Neal Stephenson, Bruce Sterling stands at the forefront of a select group of writers whose pitch-perfect grasp of the cultural and scientific zeitgeist endows their works of speculative near-future fiction with uncanny verisimilitude. To read a novel by Sterling is to receive a dispatch from a time traveler. Now, with The Caryatids, Sterling has written a stunning testament of faith in the power of human intellect, creativity, and spirit to overcome any obstacle–even the obstacles we carry inside ourselves. The world of 2060 is divided into three spheres of influence, each fighting with the others over the resources of fallen nations and an environment degraded almost to the point of no return. There is the Dispensation, centered in Los Angeles, where entertainment and capitalism have fused with the highest of high-tech. There is the Acquis, a Green-centered collective that uses invasive neurological technology to create a networked utopia. And there is China, the sole surviving nation-state, a dinosaur that has prospered only by pitilessly pruning its own population. Products of this monstrous world, the daughters of a monstrous mother, and–according to some–monsters themselves, are the Caryatids: the four surviving female clones of a mad Balkan genius and wanted war criminal now ensconced, safely beyond extradition, on an orbiting space station. Radmila is a Dispensation star determined to forget her past by building a glittering, impregnable future. Vera is an Acquis functionary dedicated to reclaiming their home, the Croatian island of Mljet, from catastrophic pollution. Sonja is a medical specialist in China renowned for selflessly risking herself to help others. And Biserka is a one-woman terrorist network. The four “sisters” are united only by their hatred for their “mother”–and for one another. When evidence surfaces of a coming environmental cataclysm, the Dispensation sends its greatest statesman–or salesman–John Montgomery Montalban, husband of Radmila, and lover of Vera and Sonja, to gather the Caryatids together in an audacious plan to save the world.

Borderland

Essays from the US-Canadian Divide

By: Bruce Fisher

Poor Buffalo—so rusty and abandoned, so sadly persistent in its despair, so abused by comedians, yet so close to serene and orderly Canada, and so blessed with an attractively resilient and rebellious spirit that its expatriates cannot wait to return. In essays that are historical and lyrical, objective yet powerfully emotional, Bruce Fisher offers a unique look at the distinct history and culture of Buffalo and the Canadian border region. The place is a bundle of contradictions. Here, old-growth forests lie just down the road from landscapes despoiled by a century of heavy industry. Here, in a region that has been peaceful for almost two hundred years, monuments of ancient design define both sides of the Niagara River as a zone of conflicts one side refuses to forget. Here, in waters that used to ferry immigrants and the wealth of the North American interior, American children train to row against Canadian children in an event named for the monarchy. Here, in a city that struggles to make sense of an economy that no longer needs its labor, and where politicians are despised yet always returned to office, the very notion of sustainability is tested by an endless sequence of schemes for redemption. And here, in this unique border region, notions of justice rooted in family histories of Civil War veterans persist curiously through the politics that helped wreck Buffalo and frighten Toronto into a more attentive rectitude. In the texts of letters found in a village library, in the geology of a streambed that the seasons disrupt, in the bright snow that smoothes and gentles the landscape but terrifies mayors, Fisher finds the universal in the distinctive, crossing borders not just of geography, but of history, culture, and politics.

Tools, Tricks, and Fetishes of Famous Writers

By: Harry Bruce

A witty round-up of writers' habits that includes all the big names, such as Dickens, Flaubert, Tolstoy, Hemingway At public events readers always ask writers how they write. The process fascinates them. Now they have a very witty book that ranges around the world and throughout history to answer their questions. All the great writers are here — Dickens, dashing off his work; Henry James dictating it; Flaubert shouting each word aloud in the garden; Hemingway at work in cafés with his pencil. But pencil or pen, trusty typewriter or computer, they all have their advocates. Not to mention the writers who can only keep the words flowing by writing naked, or while walking or listening to music — and generally obeying the most bizarre superstitions. On Shakespeare’s works: “Fantastic. And it was all done with a feather!” — Sam Goldwyn “I write nude, seated on a thick towel, and perhaps with a second towel around me.” — Paul West “I’ve never heard of anyone getting plumber’s block, or traffic cop’s block.” — Allan Gurganus “I’m a drinker with a writing problem.” — Brendan Behan

Spinner of Lies

A Sword of the Gods Novel

By: Bruce R. Cordell

A quest for love and a quest for justice take Demascus on a journey unlike any other in this second and final Sword of the Gods novel Memories of his past incarnations haunt Demascus, even as he searches for stolen portraits that contain the trapped souls of demigods. Meanwhile, drow creep beneath the city of Airspur, intent on precipitating war between Akanûl and a rival nation. As Demascus attempts to win freedom from the ghost of his murdered lover, he agrees to thwart the drow’s secret scheme—sending him on a trail that stretches between the Demonweb, Airspur, and an island that appears on no map. Spinner of Lies is a sequel to Sword of the Gods, and is also tied to the Rise of the Underdark, an event that will have bold, sweeping ramifications across—and under—the Forgotten Realms.

Dénouement

Alexei, Accidental Angel. Book 7

By: Morgan Bruce

Alexei and Tristan have a secret life as brothers. They are also angels trying to live on Earth as ordinary children, perhaps, the only angels attempting to live such a life. But now, they suddenly have four new brothers – also angels – who are not only their “twins,” but in miraculous circumstances, have been brought back to life and forward in time by nearly a thousand years. If Alexei and Tristan, as well as their newly resurrected kin, believe that the fulfillment of the prophecy from the cross signals the end of their trials, they are sadly mistaken. An ancient parchment long concealed in the crypt of the restored church reveals there are still dangerous old enemies to overcome, one more important battle to fight, and one more angel to find if they are to succeed.

Rapid Methods in Clinical Microbiology

Present Status and Future Trends

By: Bruce Kleger,Donald Jungkind

The papers published herein comprise the presentations given at the eighteenth of an annual series of clinical symposia arranged under the auspices of the Eastern Pennsylvania Branch of the American Society for Microbiology. This symposium allowed approximately 200 persons to gather and exchange ideas on the rapid laboratory diagnosis of infectious diseases. The institution of the Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) method for reimbursement by both government agencies and private insurance carriers has provided a financial aspect to the established clinical reasons for rapid laboratory diagnosis. Now the health of the institution, as well as the patient, is dependent on a timely diagnosis and, hopefully, cure. Accordingly, the goal of this symposium was to present the latest developments in "same-day microbiology". In the face of stable or diminishing resources, the laboratory director is presented with many choices. Do nucleic acid probes, non instrumental ELISA techniques, or time-resolved fluorometry have a place in his or her laboratory? Should the laboratory test for newly described human pathogens such as human immunodeficiency virus or human papilloma virus? Can rapid techniques supplant conventional methods? Or are they merely adjunctive? This symposium attempted to assist in the formulation of informed decisions. Bruce Kleger Donald Jungkind Eileen Rinks Linda A. Miller vii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to thank the Eastern Pennsylvania Branch of t~e American Society for Microbiology for sponsoring this symposium and for making this publication possible. We especially thank the Symposium Committee for their diligent work in organizing an informative and successful symposium.

Educating the Body

A History of Physical Education in Canada

By: M. Ann Hall,Bruce Kidd,Patricia Vertinsky

Educating the Body presents a history of physical education in Canada, shedding light on its major advocates, innovators, and institutions. The book traces the major developments in physical education from the early nineteenth century to the present day – both within and beyond schools – and concludes with a vision for the future. It examines the realities of Canada’s classed, gendered, and racialized society and reveals the rich history of Indigenous teachings and practices that were marginalized and erased by the residential school system. Today, with the worrying decline in physical activity levels across the population, Educating the Body is indispensable to understanding our policy options moving ahead.

Light

A Radiant History from Creation to the Quantum Age

By: Bruce Watson

Light begins at Stonehenge, where crowds cheer a solstice sunrise. After sampling myths explaining First Light, the story moves on to early philosophers' queries, then through the centuries, from Buddhist temples to Biblical scripture, when light was the soul of the divine. Battling darkness and despair, Gothic architects crafted radiant cathedrals while Dante dreamed a "heaven of pure light." Later, following Leonardo's advice, Renaissance artists learned to capture light on canvas. During the Scientific Revolution, Galileo gathered light in his telescope, Descartes measured the rainbow, and Newton used prisms to solidify the science of optics. But even after Newton, light was an enigma. Particle or wave? Did it flow through an invisible "ether"? Through the age of Edison and into the age of lasers, Light reveals how light sparked new wonders--relativity, quantum electrodynamics, fiber optics, and more. Although lasers now perform everyday miracles, light retains its eternal allure. "For the rest of my life," Einstein said, "I will reflect on what light is." Light explores and celebrates such curiosity.

Making Do and Hanging On

Growing Up in Apple Country Through the Great Depression

By: Bruce L. Foxworthy

No place in America escaped the impacts of the Great Depression, from 1929 to 1939. Even the quiet, orchard-filled Entiat Valley of the author's boyhood suffered its cruel effects. Making Do and Hanging On Growing Up in Apple Country Through the Great Depression, presents the author's recollections during those mean years memories of local conditions and events, and of his family's coping with seemingly endless setbacks in its struggles upward. These memoirs, sometimes stark, sometimes poignant, sometimes touched with humor, call up thought-provoking parallels to modern events.

Dreamland Diaries

By: Bruce Ballister

It is May of 1976 when fourteen-year-old Bradley Hitchens stumbles upon a mysterious metal artifact in the North Florida woods. Spooked by a feeling the something-or someone- is watching him, Brad takes the odd metal scrap with no idea of the peril that lies ahead, or that beneath the forest floor a greater mystery waits. Seeking answers to the strange metal object's riddle, Brad's quest endangers university researchers and his own family. They are all unaware that the government has taken a keen interest in the find and will stop at nothing to ensure that no one discovers the truth. When the artifact is lost, Brad must hide from federal agents for seven years, relying only on his wits and trusted family members as he struggles to recover and safeguard the artifact and relay its important message to the public on his own terms. In "Dreamland Diaries," a young man faces government pursuit and cover-ups and meets a most unusual new friend as he tries to protect another deep secret-one that has the potential to shake world philosophy to its very foundation.

Bruce

The Autobiography

By: Bruce Forsyth

Bruce Forsyth is known across four generations as the face of family entertainment classics such as The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right and The Price is Right. His is an amazing story that spans more than two thirds of the twentieth century. In the late 1950s, over half of Britain would tune in to Sunday Night at the London Palladium, making Bruce a star in a few weeks. But it had been a long slog since his debut as a fourteen-year-old 'Boy Bruce the Mighty Atom' in 1942, then wartime work for the Red Cross and National Service, and playing every theatre, concert party, summer season, double act and review known to man. Bruce's first-ever account of his whole life is chock full of anecdotes, honest appraisals of tough times, failed marriages and affairs, comments on entertainment and what it took to be a comedian at the height of his powers. 'In the gameshow of life, Brucie hasn't just won the TV, the golf clubs and the hostess trolley. He's won the cuddly toy as well' Mirror

Implantable Defibrillator Therapy: A Clinical Guide

By: Antonio Pacifico,Philip D. Henry,Gust H. Bardy,Martin Borggrefe,Francis E. Marchlinski,Andrea Natale,Bruce L. Wilkoff

Implantable defibrillators as originally conceived by Michel Mirowski were limited to the detection and automatic termination of ventricular fibrillation. In the original "AID" device, the detection algoritlun sought to distinguish sinus rhytlun from ventricular fibrillation by identifying the "more sinusoidal waveform of ventricular fibrillation. " The therapeutic intervention was elicited only once deadly polymorphic rhythms had developed. It was rapidly learned, however, that ventricular fibrillation is usually preceded by ventricular tachycardia. Mirowski recognized the pivotal importance of developing algoritllms based on heart rate. Ventricular tachycardia detection allowed the successful development of interventions for the termination of ventricular tachyarrhythmias before they degenerated into ventricular fibrillation. Current device therapy no longer confines itself to tlle termination of chaotic rhythms but seeks to prevent them. Diagnostic algorithms moved upward along the chain of events leading to catastrophic rhytlulls. Rate smoothing algorithms were developed to prevent postextrasystolic pauses from triggering ventricular and atrial tachyarrhytlmlias. Beyond the renaissance of ectopy-centered strategies, long-term prevention received increasing attention. Multisite pacing therapies provided by "Arrhythmia Management Devices" were designed to reduce the "arrhytlunia burden" and optimize the synergy of cardiac contraction and relaxation. Clinical evidence now suggests that atrial fibrillation prevention by pacing is feasible and tllat biventricular pacing may be of benefit in selected patients with heart failure. However, these applications of device therapy that generally require ventricular defibrillation backup remain investigational and were not considered in this book.

The Depraved Dances of Taram Zhod

By: Stanley Bruce Carter

Taram Zhod is one of the hottest dancers on the planet, and he has millions of female fans. But two of them are a royal pain—Queen Gelydia and Queen Scaldera. Each one claims to be the rightful ruler of the United Realms of Mariga and both are desperate to win public approval, using any means necessary. Hoping to score a propaganda coup, Scaldera orders her soldiers to kidnap Taram and bring him down South for a command performance, but Gelydia sends her own army to intercept them, vowing that Taram will dance to HER tune instead. Taram has no desire to be a pawn in a civil war, but with two sets of soldiers on his trail, as well as alien gangsters, foreign assassins and absinthe-guzzling socialites, he'll really have to keep on his toes if he hopes to stay one step ahead of them all.

The Fate of Transcendentalism

The Fate of Transcendentalism

Secularity, Materiality, and Human Flourishing

By: Bruce A. Ronda

The Fate of Transcendentalism examines the mid-nineteenth-century flowering of American transcendentalism and shows the movement’s influence on several subsequent writers, thinkers, and artists who have drawn inspiration and energy from the creative outpouring it produced. In this wide-ranging study, Bruce A. Ronda offers an account of the movement as an early example of the secular turn in American culture and brings to bear insights from philosopher Charles Taylor and others who have studied the broad cultural phenomenon of secularization. Ronda’s account turns on the interplay and tension between two strands in the transcendentalist movement. Many of the social experiments associated with transcendentalism, such as the Brook Farm and Fruitlands reform communities, Temple School, and the West Street Bookshop, as well as the transcendentalists’ contributions to abolition and women’s rights, spring from a commitment to human flourishing without reference to a larger religious worldview. Other aspects of the movement, particularly Henry Thoreau’s late nature writing and the rich tradition it has inspired, seek to minimize the difference between the material and the ideal, the human and the not-human. The Fate of Transcendentalism allows readers to engage with this fascinating dialogue between transcendentalist thinkers who believe that the ultimate end of human life is the fulfillment of human possibility and others who challenge human-centeredness in favor a relocation of humanity in a vital cosmos. Ronda traces the persistence of transcendentalism in the work of several representative twentieth- and twenty-first-century figures, including Charles Ives, Joseph Cornell, Truman Nelson, Annie Dillard, and Mary Oliver, and shows how this dialogue continues to inform important imaginative work to this date.

Sentry the Horizon

By: Bruce Merritt

In this author's first book of verse, Bruce Merritt brings years of unique poetic experience to bear on the tedium of empty, overnight hours employed as a Security guard, to "fashion the minutes, transcribed in a log book, which fortunately conformed to the ordinary protocols for my assigned post. Due to the Vicissitudes of the late hours, and what I presume to be the whims of the creative temperament, this log-book began to brim with records, observations and entries derived from a waking dream, so to speak. These poems exist on an alternate schedule, the concepts and activities of night and day are shuffled, reversed, at least out of synch, with the so-called normal routine of daily life".

Eyes of the Tarot

By: Bruce Coville

Bonnie must make the choice to unleash or destroy an ancient power, but can she unlock her own memories in time to make the right choice? Bonnie McBurnie remembers the old trunk in her grandmother’s attic, full of weird souvenirs collected by her seafaring ancestors. But she didn’t recollect the secret compartment or its deck of tarot cards—cards that feel strangely familiar. Back home, Bonnie studies the mysterious tarot deck. The cards seem to be trying to tell her something—but how can she be sure which ones to believe? And why can’t she recall what happened on her last visit to the attic—a childhood memory that hovers just out of reach? With the help of the town spiritualist, Madame LePanto, Bonnie delves into the origin of the cards and races to discover their connection to her family, even as the powers trapped within them threaten to tear apart her world . . . and the people she loves. This ebook features an illustrated personal history of Bruce Coville including rare images from the author’s collection.
