"Balthasar the Magus" by Marisa Calvi

 http://theindiespiritualbookawards.com/

Kuthumi’s human adventures continue on with his life as Balthasar the Magus – a high priest of the Zoroastrians at the time of Jesus the Nazarene.

The story of Balthasar takes us deep into the heart of the ancient priesthood and their passion to birth paradise on Earth for humanity. Dreams, stargazing and eternal wisdom are brought together to begin a great excitement that this awakening would be soon upon them.

As Balthasar shares with us the opening of a new era of consciousness, he also reveals the joy of living with his soul connection and the gifts it gave to him. This included being chosen as a leader along with Gaspar and Melchior of the grand caravan that made way to welcome the birth of one of the greatest teachers ever known.

Akashic Records: Case Studies of Past Lives by Lois Wetzel

Guest Blog Post by Dana Taylor, who can be found at SupernalLiving.com

 Review by Dana Taylor

The reason I’ve been posting about Akashic Records Readings is because learning about a past-life tie and the subsequent difficulties that resulted from that connection in my personal life was a major event. It took me over fifty years to put the pieces of my personal puzzle together, as is chronicled in Ever-Flowing Streams. It’s my hope that some people who are also dealing with mysterious phobias or afflictions that are linked to a past life occurence may be able to shorten the learning curve and move on to a better life.

My bouts of swollen glands, anxiety, and insomnia have all dissipated since my initial Reiki treatment in 2005. It took about three years to unravel the layers of connections, but my health and well-being are vastly improved over my previous four decades of life, largely due to understanding my soul’s long journey.

I recently came across a book by therapist Lois Wetzel entitled Akashic Records: Case Studies of Past Lives. I highly recommend investing $3.99 to read this fascinating compilation of case studies. 

Wetzel does an excellent job of explaining Akashic Records and the value they hold in helping people heal, break negative patterns, and understand puzzling relationships. Some of the stories are hard to grasp because they feel like a tale of science fiction. But, certainly modern living would seem completely unbelievable to people living only a few decades ago.

Written in a straightforward manner, the book gives example after example of past lives and how they affect modern people. Wetzel’s method of downloading particular lives as revealed by the Records Guardians is very interesting and somewhat different from the method I have experienced. Whereas the Record Readers I have visited have answered specific questions, Wetzel’s clients come in with an overall area they want information about. She then opens her mind up to viewing their past lives as if she is watching a movie.

I found myself looking at life with a broader perspective and a new understanding of karmic ties and cycles. If you have an interest in past life therapy, read  Akashic Records: Case Studies of Past Lives by Lois Wetzel.

"Enclosure: A Spiritual Autobiography" by Barbara Becker

Barbara Becker's is a tale of spiritual awakening which includes a near-fatal car crash, meeting with her Guardian Angel, out-of-body experiences, and a series of sessions with many alternative healing practitioners. The book is well written, and takes us on her path toward remembering and realizing who she is on a far different level than the mundane, where most people operate all the time. At the same time, she manages to work as a medical professional herself.

Barbara carries us through the highs and lows  of life, from her accomplishments as well as what most of humanity would call misfortunes or failures. In her wisdom, she is ever mindful that everything which happens has a reason for happening. We get to see  by watching her navigate  her life path, how to roll with the punches and from the most difficult of experiences, glean something good. There is a lesson in every life event, if we would just be aware that if we look for it, we will find it. Barbara lets us see this through her own life. What a service to humanity that is!

This book won the TISBA Finalist Award in the Inter-dimensional Beings category.

"Making Sense of Life Eternal," by Sharon Butz

This is an absorbing book which is essentially a transcription of many hours of conversation which the author, Sharon Butz, had with the former Civil War Surgeon, Dr. James Martin Peebles. Dr. Peebles was an historical figure, who not only was a naturopath and surgeon, but US Ambassador to Turkey in his later years. He died and ascended at the age of 99.9 years of age.

He has been channeled by various persons over the years, and in the case of the visits Sharon Butz had with him, through the mystic and trance channel, Summer Bacon of Sedona, Arizona. 

Sharon asks Dr. Peebles questions about a wide range of topics from his interest in channeling while alive and part of the spiritualist movement, to astrology. Of astrology Dr. Peebles says that it is a road map, but does not determine all outcomes. Like a map you can follow the road, or you can get off the road and go somewhere offroad. Yet a few things in each lifetime are cast in stone, and harder to change. He also says that if you want to know what your deceased loved one is doing, you can look at the chart as though the death date were a birth date to see what he is up to in the afterlife!

Dr. Peebles warns us not to check our discrimination at the door of the psychic's office, since some are amazing, honest people, and yet others definitely are not. He also reminds us that even what the honest psychic sees can be changed if we do not like the outcome he or she has seen. We can do this by taking appropriate actions to change that outcome. 

How does Dr. Peebles read individuals? He goes into their hearts and learns who they truly are. He also answers questions we are thinking before we ask them, according to the author. In this book he answers questions about a wealth of subjects, including Guides, karma, twin flames, Akashic Records and whether or not people can come back as animals. There is a wealth of information in this book as seen from the viewpoint of a 16th dimensional being who is not in a body any longer. Some of it will challenge a reader's beliefs, some of it will confirm what she /he already knew. 

In any case, it is a wild, fun ride!

"Facing the Shadow, Embracing the Light" by Niara Terela Isley

"Facing the Shadow, Embracing the Light" is actually more like two books for the price of one. It is written in two sections, and could have actually been two books. It is well over 500 pages long. Yet the author did not divide them, and one can see why at the end of the first part of the book. It would be a shame to stop there; honestly it would.

This is a true story of a female radar operator in the Air Force and what happened to her in the middle of the night, repeatedly, as she was drawn against her will - while on duty - into a terribly shadowy realm which included interactions with more than one variety of extra-terrestrial being. She had the most difficult of her experiences with human beings, black ops personnel who were involved with the alien beings. This is a frightening, true tale of abduction with the all-too-common loss of memory. Long after she was no longer in the military, Ms. Isley realized that she had a gap of several months' time during which she had no memory. It was this realization which led her on her quest to get to the bottom of things.

And get to the bottom she did. Afterward, the trauma was great, and she commenced a long journey of personal healing and transformation of a profound nature. This journey changed the course of her life, deepening her greatly. Her level of understanding of the nature of consciousness itself is impressive, and it is the direct result of her journey of healing from the horror she experienced while in the military.

This is a book not to be missed, if for nothing else, the explanation of why our governments of the world still will not admit that they are in contact with off-world civilizations. But most of all, the reader will benefit from the understanding of how consciousness works, how it affects us and the world, and just how immensely powerful the energy called consciousness is.

"Ever-Flowing Streams" by Dana Taylor

This is a book quite unlike any other I have read about energy medicine. It is an important book because it is a bridge between those still trapped in the fearful aspect of Christianity and those involved the world of spiritual healing, or energy medicine. Dana Taylor says many things I have often said to my clients about Jesus and his healing abilities. He clearly said the things he did we could do and greater. We can all tap into that energy stream of healing ability if we are not locked out of it by "Christian trepidation," or fear of things not understood by ourselves, Christian friends, family or pastors.

Ms. Taylor came to Christianity as an adult, having been raised in California by agnostic parents. She married a Christian man in the 1980s in Oklahoma where she had gone to study as a young woman. Gradually she began to accept Christian teachings, especially healing prayer. When her church began to change, and the emphasis was no longer on healing or even the form of prayer she had been taught, she adjusted. She found new ways to continue her spiritual path, new fields to study - ever careful not to become involved in anything like a cult. She did this without ever giving up her Christian faith. For this reason, her book is of great importance to the world.

There are a lot of sincere, good-hearted people who because of this book will finally be open to deeper levels of spiritual understanding and acceptance of that healing  energy which is also called the Holy Spirit  Many of them are people who would not otherwise have been reached due to the fear-based nature of beliefs taught to them from early childhood. Dana Taylor creates the language necessary for many people to see the connection of energy medicine to our Creator Source. Some of these are people who doubtless would not otherwise have seen that connection. Her work is clearly a mission of service to the world. and in the case of this book, also as a World Teacher.

Miracles of healing came to Dana on her quest, an illness which had plagued her since she was a little girl was finally healed through a combination of healing prayer, energy medicine, a past life memory and forgiveness. She has gone on to facilitate miraculous healing for others through the use of healing prayer, energy medicine and other techniques. She still sees clients.

This is a book not to be missed. I highly recommend anyone interested in energy medicine, healing or miracles read this powerfully moving and illuminating book.

"The Afterlife of Billy Fingers" by Annie Kagan

The lovely Annie Kagan lost her older brother, a life-long alcoholic and drug addict, to a horrific automobile/pedestrial accident. In the depths of her despairing grief he came back to her, talking to her and asking her to write a book with him about his experience of the afterlife. She hesitatingly began writing down what he was saying, and over time, her brother sent her enough confirmation in the real world of what he was saying, that she realized it was happening for real. It was not her imagination!

This is a well-written chronicle of one spirit's experience of the afterlife, and what is more, it shows for the first time, so far as I know, what happens to us when we have lived our last lifetime on earth! And I always deeply, sincerely wondered what that was going to be like. 

The Afterlife of Billy Fingers is chock full of wisdom. It is also deeply comforting for those who have recently lost a loved one; it is confirmation that we are not our bodies, and that we continue beyond the grave or crematorium.

It goes without saying that this book is a "must-read" for the grieving.
