The Whisper Of Pialigos

Hired to document an aging eccentric's search for an ancient scroll, novelist Stuart Adams sets out with Greek archaeologist Dr. Niki Mikos to a Mediterranean location that may hold the prize they all seek.

When novelist Stuart Adams joins an expedition led by Dr. Niki Mikos, a beautiful archaeologist resuming her murdered father's search for an ancient scroll, he doesn't count on romance, getting caught up in a perilous adventure dogged by a homicidal Greek official, an erupting volcano, and sinister forces that will stop at nothing to confiscate the artifact. The scroll, thought to contain the key that could save the last vestiges of a dying civilization and usher in an era of world peace, is lost somewhere in the beautiful setting of the Aegean Sea islands. Clues are scarce, but a series of inexplicable visions lead Stuart and the team to the scroll's location. The discovery is immediately countered by a heinous act of deception that robs the expedition of its hard-earned prize, leaving Stuart and Niki to die on the shores of the erupting volcano. Though they make a narrow escape, other team members are not so lucky. While Niki mourns her losses, Stuart is torn between staying with her and going back to a dubious relationship with girlfriend Marion Chandler. But the smoldering tinder of mutual attraction-souls once separated now rejoined-ignites between Stuart and Niki into the full-fledged flame of love. Their ecstasy is short-lived, for the flame casts light on Niki's secret knowledge of an ancient prophesy that she and a high priestess know only Stuart can fulfill. Running counter to all logic, his resistance to participation in a ritual walking a dangerous labyrinth blindfolded is softened by yet another vision urging him to accept his destined role in the deadly ceremony. His success at accomplishing it, he is told, will salvage the remnants of the once-great civilization and signal the beginning of a world sweet with the fragrance of peace. By all appearances it is a lost cause, a dying culture set on an irreversible trajectory toward extinction. Will Stuart muster the courage, the compassion, and enough trust in his own instincts to risk life and love to save them?

Lessons in Truth: A Course of Twelve Lessons in Practical Christianity is the core texts on Unity Church teachings and it is one of the best representatives of New Thought philosophy. The spiritual models presented in Dr. Cady's lessons show us how to enhance our confidence and inner power, and improve our spiritual development. In the beginning of 1892, a series of articles titled Lessons in Truth by Dr. Cady were published in Unity magazine. This material later was compiled into a book and it was the first book Unity published. It is now the most widely read book in that movement and it has been translated into eleven languages and braille. Harriet Emilie Cady (1848-1941) was an American homeopathic physician and author of New Thought spiritual writings. She was inspired and influenced by Biblical teachings and the philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson. She was taught by Emma Curtis Hopkins, the New Thought "teacher of teachers" and a student of Christian Science. Cady associated with several prominent figures in the New Thought movement of the time and Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, co-founders of Unity Church.

The belief in soul evolution comes from the commonly held assumption that each person is spiritually incomplete, that we have returned to this earthly school for lessons our souls need to move to the next higher level. The Complete Soul: Exposing the Myth of Soul Evolution challenges this belief. Your soul, like the drop of water taken from the ocean, is complete. The spiritual awakening is not about evolution. It is about recovering your soul from the false sense of self and its evolutionary timeline, a perceived barrier between where you think you are and where you want to be. This book takes the position that no such barrier exists. Within these pages, you will discover that you did not come here to learn something from the people, places, and things of this earth. You came for the experience. You came because you had something you wanted to give. The Complete Soul affirms your spiritual wholeness and suggests creative new ways of thinking about your reason for taking on this physical body. As you consider these ideas, you may discover that the fulfillment you seek is a lot closer than you think.

On the path to spiritual understanding, no practice is more important in terms of spiritual transformation than the practices of meditation and prayer. And yet, as in many areas of spiritual discipline, it is as important to know why we pray and meditate as it is to know how. This book answers some common but important questions relating to both the how and the why of these two disciplines. Part I lays the foundation necessary for a positive experience of meditation and prayer. Parts II and III explain the theory and practice of meditation and prayer and give steps for the practice. Part IV offers suggestions on the practical applications of prayer in the areas of healing, prosperity and relationships. Sprinkled liberally with helpful affirmations, inspiring quotation and the author's own wise insights, this book is more than a "how-to." It is a "why-to" that will be a valued companion to anyone seeking a deeper spiritual life through the practices of meditation and prayer.
