The Book of Unfolding Integration
ABOUT BOOKIn a world overflowing with data yet starving for meaning, The Book of Unfolding Integration takes readers on a profound journey to rediscover clarity, connection, and truth. Blending philosophy, psychology, and lived wisdom, this work exposes the fractures that keep us divided between knowledge and understanding, ambition and integrity, speed and substance.Through concepts like the 20/80 Spectrum, the Grand Disconnect, and the Synaptic Dance, it unveils how language, conditioning, and inherited illusions quietly shape our lives. But more importantly, it offers a path forward toward integration, wholeness, and what the author calls the Syntropic Future.This is not a book of quick fixes or empty slogans. It is a blueprint for becoming step by step, with humility, presence, and practice.

Awakening III
In AWAKENING I - The Beginning, Spirit establishes with Joanne a solid foundation of love and trust. In AWAKENING II - 1NF1N1T1, the various paths that would comprise her awakening, arose. In AWAKENING III - Eternal Love, Warick (spirit guide) shifts his focus from gaining Joanne's trust and love, to showing her how love is the bond that binds us through lifetimes. He shows her a life they once had in the physical-as Native American Indians-where their bond forms and Elder becomes a significant guide to them. Each of their ends in that life come to the fore, as does Joanne's connection to Jamie-her son in this lifetime-as he was also in that life. Her role as a scribe in ancient times emerges, and source consciousness, the divine, God, tells Joanne her path is set. Warick introduces her to the ability of non-physical consciousness to see through the eyes of another human in another life-to join another's consciousness in their body, like he does with Joanne in hers, and to know their thoughts as they are having them. Elder continues to teach Joanne about how to use her energy, and shares insights beyond what she knows in this life, such as, 'It's not just the chemicals in the rain that make the plants grow so well; it's also the raindrops being electrically charged with energy.' She learns the significance of being in the moment. The diversity of what Joanne can experience of the non-physical with her physical senses, grows. This includes being enveloped in strong energy, like foam pushing in on her from all sides, and being inside a portal, where energy rushes forcefully past her. Joanne is also introduced to the ability of non-physical consciousness to heal the physical body. There continue to be signs that what she is becoming is a trance medium, able to channel Spirit-like seeing purple through her mind's eye-which some claim to be associated with a trance medium's gatekeeper. Also, Joanne feels her facial features change as Warick merges with her, controlling her breath and making sounds using her voice box. She is woken in the night to the scrambled sounds of a male's voice using her voice box while she lies sleeping. Spirit's regular means of communication expands from touching Joanne's cheeks as a form of communication, to now also making her entire face smile, and showing her moving images in her mind's eye as she starts to wake first thing in the morning. The strength of Joanne's connection to John (friend supporting and encouraging her to write up her journals as books) surfaces, and the physical friendship circle grows. All meant to be. The connection of Joanne's awakening to what is happening in this cycle of humanity, continues to be an important theme, one which has surpassed her awakening journey, and continues to this day in another journey relayed in the ACCESS book series. At this time, in her awakening journey, however, COVID-19 continues to ravage the world. 20 January 2021, a lady being interviewed in the US said over 400,000 people have died so far from COVID and it's like it doesn't matter. Trump supporters also storm the National Capital Building in Washington D.C.

Reincarnation
#1 Bestseller in Eastern Philosophy#1 Bestseller in Zen Spirituality Every moment is a moment of rebirth. In this profound short book, Thich Nhat Hanh offers clear, accessible reflections on the nature of reincarnation--which he calls "continuation."

When we release the illusion of a separate self, we open the door to a liberating insight: rebirth is not somewhere else, someday later. It is happening now, in every moment.
The Disengaged Teen
"Our education systems are shortchanging far too many teenagers. This book is brimming with insights on how to change that. It's an engaging, evidence-based, and practical read about how to develop a generation of lifelong learners."--Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential and Think Again, and host of the podcast Re: Thinking A powerful toolkit for parents of both checked-out and stressed-out teens that shows exactly what to do (and stop doing) to support their academic and emotional flourishing. Adolescents are hardwired to explore and grow, and learning is mainly how they do this. But a shocking majority of teens are disengaged from school, simultaneously bored and overwhelmed. This is feeding an alarming teen mental health crisis. As kids get older and more independent, parents often feel powerless to help. But fear not, there are evidence-backed strategies to guide them from disengagement to drive, in and out of school. For the past five years, award-winning journalist Jenny Anderson and the Brookings Institution's global education expert Rebecca Winthrop have been investigating why so many children lose their love of learning in adolescence. Now, weaving extensive original research with real-world stories of kids who transformed their relationships with learning, they identify four modes of learning that students use to navigate through the shifting academic demands and social dynamics of middle and high school, shaping the internal narratives about their skills, potential, and identity: - Resister. When kids resist, they struggle silently with profound feelings of inadequacy or invisibility, which they communicate by ignoring homework, playing sick, skipping class, or acting out. - Passenger. When kids coast along, consistently doing the bare minimum and complaining that classes are pointless. They need help connecting school to their skills, interests, or learning needs. - Achiever. When kids show up, do the work, and get consistently high grades, their self-worth can become tied to high performance. Their disengagement is invisible, fueling a fear of failure and putting them at risk for mental health challenges. - Explorer. When kids are driven by internal curiosity rather than just external expectations, they investigate the questions they care about and persist to achieve their goals. Understanding your child's learning modes is vital for nurturing their ability to become Explorers. Anderson and Winthrop outline simple yet counterintuitive parenting strategies for connecting with your child, tailoring your listening and communication styles to their needs, igniting their curiosity, and building self-awareness and emotional regulation.
PLANET OF CiEs
Planet of CiEs invites you to look at life, death, and rebirth through an entirely new lens - that of the CiE (Conscious Intergalactic Entity). In this groundbreaking work, author Madhava Kumar Turumella presents a unifying framework that bridges reincarnation, karma, free will, and consciousness as dimensions of one vast, entangled field of existence.Drawing upon ancient Indian philosophy, Egyptian symbolism, and modern scientific thought, Turumella explores how every living being - from the smallest organism to the most evolved human - is an expression of a universal consciousness unfolding through cycles of experience. He introduces a profound yet accessible model based on four primal urges (food, sleep, sex, and safety) and three boundaries (knowledge, survival, and happiness), showing how these forces guide the evolution of life and the lessons of each incarnation.From the migration of birds to the behaviour of subatomic particles, from mythological archetypes to the mysteries of the soul, Planet of CiEs brings together science and spirituality with clarity and compassion. It invites readers to see themselves not as isolated individuals, but as cosmic travellers - conscious entities participating in a greater galactic design.Whether you are a seeker, a scientist, or a philosopher at heart, this book will expand your understanding of what it means to be alive, aware, and connected across time and space. Planet of CiEs is not just a theory - it is a map of consciousness that illuminates our shared origins and our potential for deliberate, awakened living on Earth and beyond.

Treating Children with Disruptive Behavior Disorders
Kids with "bad" behavior aren't inherently "bad" kids......and behavior problems don't occur in isolation. So why do we treat them like they do?In Treating Children with Disruptive Behavior Disorders, clinicians will find a family-focused, phasic treatment approach known as integrative systemic play therapy (ISPT), which is designed for children and adolescents who exhibit challenging, defiant, violent, or antisocial behaviors.Rooted in family systems and play therapy, ISPT works to address the needs of the child and the system--that is, the relational interactions and processes in the family that are contributing to the presenting problem--rather than focusing on the child alone. Featuring handouts, vignettes, personal stories, and more, this clinical guide walks you through each phase of ISPT so you can: Reset family dynamics to break cycles of reactivity, power struggles, and punishmentRestore the child's sense of "goodness" and inherent worthReframe behavior problems as requests for connection, safety, and recognitionHelp children and their adults regulate, cope, and communicate more effectivelyEmpower parents to serve as the main change agents in their child's lifeAddress triangulation, ineffective commands, and other unhelpful patterns on the spotKids who act out are often only seen for their behavior, and not for who they really are. By recognizing the needs that underlie these behaviors--and the systems that reinforce them--you can facilitate paradigm-shifting change for the entire family.

The Goetist
If you called forth a demon, not for riches or power, but for insight-what truths might it reveal?The Goetist is a wisdom book, a manual of living the good life, in the shape of a sorcerous rite. A despairing man's devil-conjuring invocation turns into a meditative, unsentimental education in the most important subjects of all: how to build up a soul from nothing, make art without apology, and find purpose in the face of a hostile universe.Structured as a series of poetic essays, in the tradition of Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, The Goetist moves topic-by-topic through the driving concerns of a lonely introspective aspirant: desire, necessity, joy, morality, myth, constraint, legacy, and more. The book's demonic expositor offers the makings of a magician's worldview, rooted in the self-constructed self rather than in any community or dogma, but still unsparing in its demand for truth and excellence. In these pages, you will discover: How magic is more real than any material reality-and why it is found, not in the world, but in the selfThe roots and the nature of desire, and how to rule your desires rather than being ruledA narrative-driven, individualist account of morality that can hold true in a world of untrustworthy moral authoritiesHow true love can grow forth from a mind consumed by self-interest and self-obsessionA vision of the soul that endures beyond flesh, time, and even deathLyrical and transformative, challenging and unexpectedly tender, The Goetist is a book to read slowly, return to often, and carry with you like a lantern in the dark. It is a companion for mystics, philosophers, and all those who yearn for truths that transcend the world around them.

An insightful memoir with careful reflection on the theory and practice of psychiatry, case studies and selected articles published over a diverse career."In the silence of therapy...a glance carries great weight.""...childhood's time is rekindled in the ashes of lost opportunities. As eachperson is encouraged to share their needs, the fear of rejection pales andloving is risked again. This I believe is the essence of the healing experience: to be able to be whowe are in the presence of another.""Listening is like standing quietly in a hurricane. Everything is moving andthere is no ground to shape individual identity. Accusations fly in the wind, uprooting defences and causing even greater awareness. My first task is tocreate a safe haven for the human voice. I do this by insisting that theyaccept me as a listener and not as a judge..."
