"Something's Coming..". and it's good news for a change! In an era when many are focused on end-of-the-world doom and gloom, along comes an exciting book to uplift humanity, reminding us that we are not alone and that help is already on the way. In Something's Coming author Genii Townsend, a trans-audio visionary, shares information kept secret for 25 years. Her "inner-vision journeys" began in 1982 when her husband, Rev. William Townsend, a Religious Science minister, brought forth drawings of Cities of Light while in meditation. After his passing, Genii Townsend continued where he left off and the city visits are now recorded in this book. No development on earth is more fascinating than the advent of the Cities of Light, and the discussion can be traced to the middle of the last century. What, exactly, is a City of Light? Much like Atlantis, it is a portal where the star brothers and sisters can come for exchange of cultural ideas, technology, art and healing. The book describes it as "the unfoldment of a very large universal plan. It is going beyond the universe to...an interdimensional portal of love where beings from everywhere can experience a community of love." The Cities of Light can be glimpsed with our physical eyes but are more apparent to our Third and Fourth Eyes. They are "crystal cities of the future, places of peace and harmony where love prevails." As real places in the higher dimensions, people can "anchor new realities and new dimensional realities within the 3rd dimension" as an expanded experience. They are also for advanced healing through light, sound and color-"examples of what can be done by using our technologies for the good of all." The book describes the purpose and plans for a City of Light in Sedona, Arizona-a prototype for 13 more cities to appear around the planet "any day now." Included are diagrams and descriptions of advanced technologies, prophecies, discussion of the need for spiritual awakening and enlightenment on earth, and details of the city's amazing features. Genii paints a picture for readers of what it's like to enter such a place after 100+ visits she has made within the City of Light. "Imagine entering a place of such beauty that it makes you an instant believer that anything is possible, like entering a 5-story-high gate that is encoded with your personal beliefs that makes you feel like you just came home. "Imagine experiencing healing techniques in light modules where no drugs, knives or needles can sever the body's electrical lines. Imagine a Memory Manor building where you can release past memory hurts with no emotion attached and a Fountain of Light that makes you feel physically and mentally great, and sitting on benches that massage the body. Imagine an Empowerment Emporium where you can balance your emotions and a "Birth-aterium" where babies are born laughing with the mother who had no anesthesia, no pain and the only crying is for the pure joy of the experience. And finally, imagine a stadium-size building called The Embassy of Peace Headquarters where "Light Beings gather to help bring forth peace on this earth." The Cities of Light function to heal us and raise our vibrations and consciousness. They are delightful places to be, they are places where peace reigns already. They exist in the Fifth Dimension and higher and are destined to play a large role in the transfer of learning and technology for us in the new Golden Age. Townsend writes: "Will it enhance peoples' lives? I think the common words will be 'OH MY GOD!' I ask you to hold the vision in your heart. Make no mistake, this planet will glow in love like never before." The stage is ready, the scenes inside these pages invite you to witness what is coming about, and this is your invitation, page by page, before the magic happens. Get your copy and get ready for the greatest show on earth. This book will show you how you can enter the city portals and change your reality forever.

Sir Humphrey Burton is one of Britain's most influential post-war music and arts broadcasters. Witty, humorous and full of humanity, Burton's account presents us with never before recorded perspectives on the world of British cultural broadcasting and classical music. Burton worked with such outstanding directing talents as Ken Russell and John Schlesinger, before becoming the BBC's Head of Music and the Arts. Already in the 1960s, in conversations with Glenn Gould for instance, Burton helped to create innovative ways of presenting music to new audiences. Following Sir David Frost's call to LWT/ITV, Burton rose to prominence with presenting the award-winning arts series Aquarius (1970-1975). The early 1970s saw the beginning of Burton's long association with Leonard Bernstein. Burton was at hand filming the maestro's educational programs, as well as concerts with the Vienna Philharmonic. Unforgettable are his chronicles of Bernstein's last years, culminating in a worldwide broadcast of the conductor's Berlin Freedom Concert after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Burton's gift for communicating music turned him into a celebrated Bernstein biographer. With multi award-winning television programmes to his name, such as the BBC's Young Musician of the Year, Burton left an indelible mark on Britain's music and arts broadcasting history. Sir Humphrey Burton offers us many encounters with twentieth century classical music's superstars and former broadcasting colleagues. What transpires is a creative mind at work that never lost sight of the demand that the appropriate presentation of music can only go hand-in-hand with a deep understanding of music itself. This long-awaited autobiography is a must-read for classical musical enthusiasts and those fascinated by some of the twentieth century's star performers. It also offers unique insights into the history of music, the BBC and arts broadcasting in twentieth-century Britain.
