Download or read book The Standing Stones Speak written by Natasha Hoffman and published by Renaissance Books. This book was released on 2001-02-24 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These messages in the standing stones combine and transcend spiritual truths from many disciplines and traditions. They explain the true power sources in our world and provide a design for realigning ourselves with them. The Standing Stones Speak unifies the underlying wisdom of Christianity, Buddhism, and the Sufis. It interprets the lives of the great teachers and recounts the dark history of Atlantis. Linking the chakras, crystals, and earth spirits, redefining reincarnation and forgotten realms of existence both here and on other planets, it promises us a future of tranquility and peace-- children born free of karma on a clean Earth-- the New Jerusalem. Natasha Hoffman knew that she'd been called to Carnac in northern France. An artist, healer, and "intuitive," Hoffman felt welcome in the presence of the mysterious giant monuments that stand there-- the megalithic standing stones set up around the same time as Stonehenge. Walking among these alignments with her companion, Hamilton Hill, she first heard the voice. "This is a library," she said, "and we can read it." So began the "receiving" of the revelations encoded in certain of the standing stones. Sneaking past barriers, eluding gendarmes, encountering a goblin, even working by moonlight, Hoffman and Hill sought out particular stones. Natasha "read" the information held in them, using a pendulum for question-and-answer dowsing to check it. Hamilton, also a dowser, transcribed it using rods. The messages were placed for us, as the two discovered, by the Archangels who watch over our planet. After World War I, seeing that the human race had fallen into profound disharmony with the environment and was becoming dominated by materialism and misuse of technology, these higher beings began to leave us guidelines for restoring the balance within ourselves and between humanity and nature. Readers will be struck by the beauty of the message, its clarity, authority, and compassion. "You are addicted to suffering," the Archangels say, "because you have been made to feel guilty about joy." The message leaves us with renewed hope. With notes on the authors' personal pilgrimages and more than a dozen photographs, The Standing Stones Speak is more than a great adventure; it's a text that may become the New Age Bible.

From the various interpretations of the origin of the symbols depicted on the disc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schliemann's excavation is but the opening chapter in this exciting story of what modern science has revealed about the ancient cultures of the Aegeans and Grecians. It is a story that begins with the potsherds of Neolithic villages and climaxes in the glories of Lyric, Classical and Hellenistic Greece. Among its fascinating events is Ventris' deciphering of the archaic Linear B script, a breakthrough which revealed the secrets of the fabulous Minoan civlization. Wedding the complex techniques of such archaeological methods as the carbon-14 dating of artifacts to an astonishingly complete cultural history of man in Greece, the author has produced a lavishly illustrated study that will interest nonprofessionals as much as archaeologists, historians, travelers and students of the fine arts.
