Download or read book Barefoot Through Burning Lava written by T. H. Meyer and published by Temple Lodge Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawn by the mysterious mount Etna, Thomas Meyer sets off on a quest to discover the secrets of the Mediterranean islands of Sicily and Stromboli. The Sicilian region is not only famous for the drama of its live volcanoes, but also for its associations with numerous cultural figures – ranging from Cain, Empedocles, Klingsor and the much maligned Cagliostro, through to Goethe and Rudolf Steiner. The author ponders their lives, work and karmic connections, whilst unexpected meetings with cryptic strangers result in discussions that are filled with spiritual insights and pearls of wisdom. Meyer’s travelogue is at once engaging, poetic and deeply esoteric, drawing parallels between the burning lava of Etna and Stromboli and the soul lava through which our spiritual feet must wade in the present day. In meditations on the Guardian of the Threshold and the explosive popularity of football, we are led to the conclusion that today human beings need to develop ‘spiritual feet’ to cross the boundary to higher worlds. The author’s final trip coincides with the recent natural catastrophe in Nepal, which prompts him to ask whether humanity can begin to take inner responsibility for the many such disasters – particularly earthquakes and volcanic eruptions – that take place around the world. For these natural calamities, says Meyer, are intimately related to our untamed passions and emotions.

Download or read book KO d in the Volcano written by Victoria Heckman and published by Writers Exchange E-Publishing. This book was released on 2002-11-03 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Honolulu police officer Katrina Ogden lands an assignment at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, her working vacation turns ugly. Caught between two forces--murder and Madame Pele, Goddess of the Volcano--K.O. races against time in her struggle to save lives before the volcano's eruption sweeps them all away. "Victoria Heckman's 'K.O.'d in the Volcano' is a terrific novel. The plot is as fast and hot as the lava that threatens to blow from Kupaianaha and the writing so vivid you can feel the ensuing heat. Katrina Ogden is an intelligent and self-confident protagonist who remains genuine in nature, a refreshing change from so many of the carefully constructed and gimmicky characters that populate so many of today's mysteries. I recommend it highly." --JR Ripley, author of the Tony Kozol mystery series
