Download or read book Gordath Wood written by Patrice Sarath and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-06-24 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lynn Romano is a tough woman with a big job: as stable manager for Hunter’s Chase, north of New York City, she manages horses that weigh more than a ton, have unpredictable tempers, and are worth more than most people make in a year. Emergencies are what she’s paid for. When an earthquake tremor—almost unheard of in this part of the world—spooks the stable’s most valuable stallion, Lynn decides to ride him home through Gordath Wood rather than try to load him into a van. They never get there. Something has happened in Gordath Wood. The police think they have a murderer on their hands, but the truth is stranger than that. Lynn has stumbled into a hole between worlds, and now finds herself in a world at war, in a medieval society that doesn’t have much use for women. Someone she needs to keep herself alive long enough to figure out who the good guys are—and to find a way home.

Book excerpt: First allow me to 'thank you' for having an interest in my multi-dimensional research and photography. It 'has' been and 'is' a privilege to share my world, my thoughts and knowledge with you. In reading 'Portals- Gateways to the Multi-Dimensional Worlds', you will realize that the greatest secret of all is in the fact that 'Everything is connected'; from the physical to the metaphysical, Life and Death, the Sub-Conscious and Conscious, Portals, Vortices, Dimensional and Time Travel, Gateways to Heaven and Portals to Hell. This book will clarify how to 'tap' into portals and 'travel' into Alternate Realities, Parallel Universes and multiple Time Lines. 'Portals- Gateways to the Multi-Dimensional Worlds', could be seen as a 'Metaphysical Self-Help' book, because it will help you tap into your extrasensory abilities that are just waiting to be awakened! For the last several decades, it has been my desire to bring people together who are engaged in the process of learning the Truth behind the Invisible Realms. It has been my goal to inspire people to open their minds to all the possibilities in life; to apply their metaphysical skills for the enhancement of their lives as well as others. 'Portals- Gateways to the Multi-Dimensional Worlds' will show you how to understand multidimensional realities and how to communicate with the entities that live within these dimensions or the invisible ones that walk among us in our physical 3rd dimensional world. In reading my book, 'Portals- Gateways to the Multi-Dimensional Worlds' and my series 'Believe in the Magic', I assure you, that you will not be disappointed. Quite the opposite; this book and series offer to the reader a unique understanding of 'All that Is!'Spread throughout its pages, are photos I have taken through the years of the 'invisible worlds', filled with multiple selves, faeries, trolls, UFOs, angels and more. This book promises you not only 'understanding' but 'photographic proof' that Multi-dimensional realities do exist! When you understand the workings of these multi-dimensional levels, you will then appreciate not only the wonders of the multi-universe, but the 'magic that lie within'... 'Portals- Gateways to the Multi-Dimensional Worlds' will teach you to not only communicate with the multi-dimensional worlds, but to photograph these worlds, the entities that live within and the strange phenomena interacting with us. In this book and throughout the 'Believe in the Magic series', I will teach you how the mind interprets your reality and how you can use this information to create the reality or realities you desire. Throughout this series, I will continue to inform you about vortices, portals, time slips, the Oz Factor or Dead Zones, alternative realities, frequencies and vibrations. It is my purpose to help you, once again, believe in your own multi-dimensional capabilities and the magic that lies within! Mary Sutherland

Download or read book Portals written by Andrew Cox and published by Facet Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First applied to internet gateways such as Yahoo, the concept of the 'portal' has evolved in a bewildering number of directions. Different themes of personalization, aggregation or integration seem to have dominated our understanding of what a portal should be at different times. Many organizations and institutions have borrowed the idea from the net to address local problems of integrating and presenting information sources to users - yet they have developed the concept in different ways. Meanwhile new models seem to be constantly emerging from the internet. Tracking this evolving concept is clearly of particular concern for information services. How can they best take advantage of internet portals to improve access to resources? What are the requirements for delivery of diverse content through a local portal? And how do portals run by libraries relate to wider organizational initiatives? This edited collection seeks answers to these questions, providing the library and broader information community with an overview of how portals are currently being used. Leading edge researchers and practitioners explore the variety of ways in which the aspiration to portalize information is currently being realized and offer several views on likely future trends. The book is divided into five sections: Section 1 discusses generic aspects of portals such as questions of definition, as well as exploring the underlying technologies and overarching management issues, and the concepts of personalization and user needs analysis. Section 2 focuses on the role of information services in developing portals. Sections 3 and 4 analyse the current experience of portals within the corporate, public and academic sectors, with case studies and reviews of sector trends Section 5 offers various perspectives on the future development of the concept of the portal. Readership: This is an invaluable book for the growing numbers of information practitioners interested in developing or contributing to a portal, and those supporting users of portals. It will also be useful to students of information management seeking to increase their understanding of how the concept of the portal is being realized in the information world.

Book excerpt: The implementation of an Enterprise Portal is more of an art than a science.

That being said, this book will highlight some of the core processes that are similar throughout companies; how they are implemented is where the customization part comes in.

Book excerpt: Heaven Is Opening for You… “I encourage you to read Joshua’s book, not only to learn about the glory but also to be changed by the glory.” —Bill Johnson “This book is boot camp for the next and greatest move of God’s Spirit in history.” —Sid Roth All Christians are intended to live, move, and operate in the supernatural realm. But many people aren’t sure how to enter into this realm—or how to go deeper in the Spirit. Joshua Mills explains that, much more than sensing what God is doing, we can participate in the supernatural on a daily basis through divine portals, or gates. Within a power portal, we may experience a sudden realization of God’s presence, an abundance of healing, spontaneous joy, signs and wonders, angelic activity, an increase in spiritual dreams and visions, or extravagant provision. Some portals can be activated in our own bodies through the mind, eyes and ears, mouth, heart, innermost being, hands, and feet. There are also direct heavenly portals and geographical portals, special places where we can experience the release of God’s power. Joshua’s writing is filled with amazing personal stories of the supernatural at work. Get ready to awaken your connection to the Spirit realm. Get ready to encounter Power Portals! “Joshua Mills…has taken deep spiritual revelation and translated it into language that any reader can understand and apply to daily life.” —Becky Thompson “Joshua Mills…gives you teachings you can trust and revelations that get you results.” —Tony Kemp

Whilst the city he has lived in all his life begins to expose the darkness that dwells within, Azar finds himself changing in ways he cannot control. As betrayal, mystery, and danger close in around him, Azar realises that there are three sides to every story: the Nations, the supernatural, and the truth.

Download or read book Reading Spiritualities written by Dawn Llewellyn and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenon of sacred text has undergone radical deconstruction in recent times, reflecting how religion has broken out of its traditional definitions and practices, and how current literary theories have influenced texts inside the religious domain and beyond. Reading Spiritualities presents both commentary and vivid examples of this evolution, engaging with a variety of reading practices that work with traditional texts and those that extend the notion of 'text' itself. The contributors draw on a range of textual sites such as an interview, Caribbean literature, drama and jazz, women's writings, emerging church blogs, Neo-pagan websites, the reading practices of Buddhist nuns, empirical studies on the reading experiences of Gujarati, Christian and post-Christian women, Chicana short stories, the mosque, cinema, modern art and literature. These examples open up understandings of where and how 'sacred texts' are emerging and being reassessed within contemporary religious and spiritual contexts; and make room for readings where the spiritual resides not only in the textual, but in other unexpected places.Reading Spiritualities includes contributions from Graham Holderness, Ursula King, Michael N. Jagessar, David Jasper, Anthony G. Reddie, Mich le Roberts, and Heather Walton to reflect and encourage the interdisciplinary study of sacred text in the broad arena of the arts and social sciences. It offers a unique and well-focussed 'snapshot' of the textual constructions and representations of the sacred within the contemporary religious climate - accessible to the general reader, as well as more specialist interests of students and researchers working in the crossover fields of religious, theological, cultural and literary studies."
Download or read book Unspun written by Thomas Swiss and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visit the Unspun website which includes Table of Contents and the Introduction. The World Wide Web has cut a wide path through our daily lives. As claims of "the Web changes everything" suffuse print media, television, movies, and even presidential campaign speeches, just how thoroughly do the users immersed in this new technology understand it? What, exactly, is the Web changing? And how might we participate in or even direct Web-related change? Intended for readers new to studying the Internet, each chapter in Unspun addresses a different aspect of the "web revolution"--hypertext, multimedia, authorship, community, governance, identity, gender, race, cyberspace, political economy, and ideology--as it shapes and is shaped by economic, political, social, and cultural forces. The contributors particularly focus on the language of the Web, exploring concepts that are still emerging and therefore unstable and in flux. Unspun demonstrates how the tacit assumptions behind this rhetoric must be examined if we want to really know what we are saying when we talk about the Web. Unspun will help readers more fully understand and become critically aware of the issues involved in living, as we do, in a wired society. Contributors include: Jay Bolter, Sean Cubitt, Jodi Dean, Dawn Dietrich, Cynthia Fuchs, Matthew Kirschenbaum, Timothy Luke, Vincent Mosco, Lisa Nakamura, Russell Potter, Rob Shields, John Sloop, and Joseph Tabbi.
