This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remarkable story of a research project on the bioenerscience – intuitional knowledge – and a particular way of interaction with the bioenergemal ('spiritual') universe called bioenergemal communication. The author talks to a person (called Lucela) in relaxation as she describes extraordinary interactions with religious figures, including God the Father, Jesus, Mary and others – as well as the author himself. The author detects that threats and instructions become less and less veiled, and the religious figures are revealed as monopolistic and self-serving; while some of Lucela's bioimages and bioscenes are truly terrifying. The conclusions are swaying tradition's foundations and are ground-breaking steps in the fascinating field of bioenergemal communication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique and nonfiction book compiles some extraordinary and unrepeatable experiences mainly with Mary, Joseph and Jesus who during relaxation of many participants -collectively named as Lucero- suggested and induced many beautiful bioscenes and bioimages to her. The author detected hidden persuasive forces at work in the unfolding dramas. Threats and instructions became less and less veiled, and the religious figures revealed as monopolistic and self-serving; while some of Lucero's neurobioenergemal (i.e. related with brain and bioenergy) bioscenes and bioimages were truly terrifying. Therefore, soon became evident that the religious figures were trying, subtle or openly, to convince us to form a sect and preach the Jesus' Gospel. However, we always refused working on that possibility. We started studying conscience during relaxation, then the religious figures spontaneously presented themselves in the neurobioenergemal bioscenes and bioimages of the person(s) in relaxation, and finally our study derived towards a bioenergemal research work. Then, as you will read, this book -number one of seven- belongs to the first stage of our bioenergemal research work applying a novel neurobioenergemal communication, neurobiocommunication or, in short, bioenergemal communication or biocommunication technique and which needed the development of a new terminology. Undoubtedly, this book is a bestseller by itself and consequently makes potential bestsellers to the rest of this series of remarkable and surprising books

Download or read book Cultish written by Amanda Montell and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of the widely praised Wordslut analyzes the social science of cult influence: how cultish groups from Jonestown and Scientology to SoulCycle and social media gurus use language as the ultimate form of power. What makes “cults” so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we’re looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join—and more importantly, stay in—extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell’s argument is that, on some level, it already has . . . Our culture tends to provide pretty flimsy answers to questions of cult influence, mostly having to do with vague talk of “brainwashing.” But the true answer has nothing to do with freaky mind-control wizardry or Kool-Aid. In Cultish, Montell argues that the key to manufacturing intense ideology, community, and us/them attitudes all comes down to language. In both positive ways and shadowy ones, cultish language is something we hear—and are influenced by—every single day. Through juicy storytelling and cutting original research, Montell exposes the verbal elements that make a wide spectrum of communities “cultish,” revealing how they affect followers of groups as notorious as Heaven’s Gate, but also how they pervade our modern start-ups, Peloton leaderboards, and Instagram feeds. Incisive and darkly funny, this enrapturing take on the curious social science of power and belief will make you hear the fanatical language of “cultish” everywhere.
