Have you ever wondered if we live when we die? Do our beloved pets live on after death? Will we see them again? Have you ever thought you've seen a dark, ghostly figure out of the corner of your eye, but it vanished when you looked towards it? How many times have you awoken suddenly, certain that someone has called your name, but there is no one to be seen? What is clairvoyance? How does a medium make contact with the Spirit World? What is a ghost, and can we communicate with one?

The Voice of Spirit: A Mediums Story introduces a clinical nurse specialist whose vocation to become a medium led her to devote her full attention to the messages that spirits desire to share with the people they have left behind in this world. Judy OBrien, whose work has given rise to her business, Angels Amongst Us, speaks with a conversational and honest voice in the pages of this book that blends the genres and intentions of a memoir, a spiritual reflection, and a guide. As the author tells her lifes story, she notes, I can communicate with loved ones who have crossed over. I have been aware of this abilityor giftsince I was five, but it wasnt until many years later, that I wanted to learn more about spirituality and understand the messages I was receiving because I had always thought they were just my intuition. Readers following her on the journey narrated in The Voice of Spirit will traverse the same path of deepening insight and recognize the blessings that come from listening to the messages that arise and contemplating their sources and meanings. In The Voice of Spirit: A Mediums Story, Judy OBrien desires to validate the existence of spirits for all whom those same spirits have left behind. As you read her story, you can find hope and peace and appreciate the love that transcends the boundaries of the physical world and that beckons you toward the spiritual world in which eternal love never dies.

For the most part, democracy is simply presumed to exist in the United States. It is viewed as a completed project rather than as a goal to be achieved. Fifteen leading scholars challenge that stasis in Materializing Democracy. They aim to reinvigorate the idea of democracy by placing it in the midst of a contentious political and cultural fray, which, the volume’s editors argue, is exactly where it belongs. Drawing on literary criticism, cultural studies, history, legal studies, and political theory, the essays collected here highlight competing definitions and practices of democracy—in politics, society, and, indeed, academia. Covering topics ranging from rights discourse to Native American performance, from identity politics to gay marriage, and from rituals of public mourning to the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, the contributors seek to understand the practices, ideas, and material conditions that enable or foreclose democracy’s possibilities. Through readings of subjects as diverse as Will Rogers, Alexis de Tocqueville, slave narratives, interactions along the Texas-Mexico border, and liberal arts education, the contributors also explore ways of making democracy available for analysis. Materializing Democracy suggests that attention to disparate narratives is integral to the development of more complex, vibrant versions of democracy. Contributors.

There are dominion forces in our atmosphere that people can be subjected to, and these forces can make them alien to natural and evil forces that dominate human life. This dynamic enablement comes about when a persons soul anchors itself to the real source of life. The soul is a spiritual embodiment of knowledge and emotion in man. A soul is a search engine in man; it seeks a resting place to which it can attach itself so it can draw out the virtues of knowledge and emotion. When a persons soul is changed, everything about that person takes a different route. Mans nature changes only when a complex soul is achieved. The soul draws from blood its ability to unite with another soul to form a complex soul. Without blood the soul cannot find its resting place and cannot be changed. This is why the first requirement in the salvation of man is blood. And the blood of salvation needed to have different contents from the usual human blood on earth. The contents of the blood of Jesus can make people live like Martians in this world. Common human blood is highly wicked and only leads man to unite himself with wicked spiritual forces to form a soul that is dominated by evil.

Clancy D. McKenzie, MD and Lance S. Wright, MD I was very skeptical about [Dr. McKenzie’s] findings, but the Finnish database on 6,000 schizophrenic patients revealed a very high level of statistical significance. We confirmed a substantially higher rate of schizophrenia among those with siblings less than two years younger. ––Sarnoff Mednick, Social Science Research Institute, University of Southern California The concepts presented are based on sound psychodynamic principles supported by findings in the literature. Theory is a marriage between psychological and biological, spanning the neuroses and psychoses, from infancy to old age. It identifies mental illness as one mechanism, and psychology and biology as one process. As such, it is the beginning of a new unification theory of mental illness. ––O. Spurgeon English, formerly of Temple University This book breaks with traditional thinking from the first paragraph ... offers an alternative to viewing, treating, managing and preventing serious emotional disorders ... breaks ground in suggesting the role of early trauma in accounting for mental disorders throughout the life cycle, in identifying the two trauma mechanism, and in the conceptualization of early traumatic events relating to the development of Borderlines, Schizophrenia, PTSD, Autism, Symbiosis and other disorders–– forcing academics to reevaluate our thinking. The research is respectable, adds to their arguments and is in support of their model. ––Charles F. Figley, Psychosocial Stress Research Program, Florida State University Through literature review and their own research, Drs. McKenzie and Wright demonstrate the profound relationship between early infant trauma and the later development of serious emotional disorders. Evidence of early traumatic origin may soon be recognized as one of the most important research findings in recent decades. This model goes beyond prevalent thinking to show that biological research only measures the results of the disease process and does not address the origins of mental illness. This book identifies primary prevention and offers new treatment methods based on the recognition of the two trauma mechanism.
