Review for "Guardians of the Gate" by Gloria F. Orenstein

The Surrealists suggested that it would be interesting to consider the continuum of our dreams as the foregrounded narrative of our life---punctuated by moments of awakening from sleep as simply moments of interruption of the dream life continuum---the reverse of the way we think of these states now.  Yana Womack Castle in “GUARDIANS OF THE GATE: An Investigation of Numinous Presence, ‘Visions of the Divine’ in Dreams” created the narrative of her life from the perspective of dream experiences spanning over a decade in which she encountered deities and numinous presences in various forms.  In her numinous dreams, Yana received teachings and empowerments from Buddhist masters, yoginis, medicine women and shamans through methods of energetic transmissions and other means often accompanied by states of profound ecstatic bliss. She also interacted with lions, deer, snakes, flowers and ocean waves, flew above the clouds, met with guardians and shapeshifters and travelled to places inside the earth to receive counsel and healing from her allies.

Tibetan dZi beads

The dZi bead is part of a "family" of beads known as etched beads. This ancient process of decorating chalcedony (a kind of quartz) with a chemical treatment that changes the surface composition seems to have arisen in the Indus Valley Civilization and later moved into Iran in Sassanian Times. In general it can be said that a dZi is an etched agate or chalcedony bead that has the universally recognized patterns: eyes, a circle and a square, double wave forms, and certain stripes and waves. The most desired of these are those with eyes, especially the nine-eyed dZi (which lends more credence that these beads are from the time of the Bon faith, as nine was an important number in that religion whereas it is not important in the Buddhist religion). Also these beads are tubular, generally 1-2 inches long, though there have been cases of longer ones, must contain the shine associated with good dZi, and be in relatively good shape. One interesting type that does not represent the typical dZi at all, but is considered in their family is the "luk me" dZi, or "sheep's eye". This is a tabular bead with circles representing eyes or moons on either or both sides. It protects the owner from the "evil eye"The dZi, particularly those of sought after patterns, command high prices and are very difficult to come by. Most Tibetans will not let go of a dZi once they have it because it provides them with protection, and may cause bad luck if they were to get rid of it.

DNA Can Be Influenced And Reprogrammed By Words And Frequencies by by Grazyna Fosar and Franz Bludorf

THE HUMAN DNA IS A BIOLOGICAL INTERNET and superior in many aspects to the artificial one. The latest Russian scientific research directly or indirectly explains phenomena such as clairvoyance, intuition, spontaneous and remote acts of healing, self healing, affirmation techniques, unusual light/auras around people (namely spiritual masters), mind’s influence on weather patterns and much more. In addition, there is evidence for a whole new type of medicine in which DNA can be influenced and reprogrammed by words and frequencies WITHOUT cutting out and replacing single genes. See more
