We are multi-dimensional spiritual, cosmic, noetic, psychic and physical beings. The central insight that emerges from entheogenic states and is confirmed by the perennial spiritual traditions of East and West, is that at every level, from macro-cosmic to micro-cosmic, from atoms and animals, to trees and planets and stars, Spirit dwells within created forms and expresses through them. This monograph is based on 50 years of experience as a participant-observer in the international underground sub-culture involved with entheogenic, consciousness-expanding substances. The author discusses the uses and values of such substances when the explicit intention or purpose is for spiritual awakening, psychotherapy, healing, increased understanding and the enhancement of creativity. The intent of this documentation is not to prove or promote any particular method or treatment of any condition. The evaluation of entheogens needs to be in terms of how productive these experiences are of healthier approaches to the issues of living in these times, in this world.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1954925158\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781954925151\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Metzner, Ralph, N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Four Trees Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Four Trees Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Apr 2022)","offer_id":45657277661381,"sku":"9781954925151","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781954925151.jpg?v=1768890103"},{"product_id":"this-book-is-a-planetarium-and-other-extraordinary-pop-up-contraptions","title":"This Book Is a Planetarium: And Other Extraordinary Pop-Up Contraptions","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDefying every expectation of what a book can be, this pop-up extravaganza transforms into \u003ci\u003esix fully functional tools\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eNever has humble paper had such radical ambitions.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eAs impossible as it seems, this brilliant book allows its reader to manipulate scientific concepts like light, sound, time, and space.

Vol. I, Grades K-2","description":"Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding (BFSU) - BFSU is for teachers, homeschoolers, and other educators to deliver a first-rate science education to K-8 students and older beginning-science learners. Vol. I (here) is for grades K-2 and older beginning-science learners. Volumes II and III are for grades 3-5, and 6-8, and older progressing science learners. BFSU provides both teaching methodologies and detailed lesson plans embracing and integrating all the major areas of science. BFSU lessons follow structured learning progressions that build knowledge and develop understanding in systematic incremental steps. BFSU lessons all center around hands-on experience and real-world observations. In turn, they draw students to exercise their minds in thinking and drawing rational conclusions from what they observe\/experience. Therefore, in following BFSU, students will be guided toward conceptual understanding of crosscutting concepts and ideas of science, as well as factual knowledge, and they will develop mind skills of scientific thinking and logical reasoning in the process. Implementing BFSU requires no particular background in either science or teaching. Teachers\/parents can learn along with their children and be excellent role models in doing so. Already widely used and acclaimed in its 1st edition form, this second edition of BFSU contains added elements that will make it more useful in bringing students to master the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1478738693\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781478738695\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Nebel, Bernard J., N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Outskirts Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Outskirts Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Sep 2014)","offer_id":45657912934597,"sku":"9781478738695","price":59.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781478738695.jpg?v=1768895806"},{"product_id":"the-redox-promise-the-key-to-cellular-resilience-and-better-aging","title":"The Redox Promise: The Key to Cellular Resilience and Better Aging","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWith \u003cem\u003eThe Redox Promise\u003c\/em\u003e, Dr. William A.

But since the widespread introduction of electric light, more than 90% of our time is spent indoors, under unhealthful and human-unfriendly electric light, which disrupts our circadian clocks and greatly increases the risk of cancer, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and hundreds of other diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday's LED fixtures, light bulbs, and screens are designed to produce cheap light with little regard for human health.

Engels, analysing the advances of science, demonstrates how dialectical materialism, the philosophy of Marxism, corresponds to the very way in which nature unfolds. The revolutionary advances of nineteenth century science, most notably the discovery of the cell, the law of conservation and transformation of energy, and Darwinian evolution, provided the material basis for a dialectical understanding of nature. For Engels, the dialectics of human history grew out of the dialectics of nature. Throughout the work, Engels battles with various unscientific schools of thought prevalent among scientists, especially idealism and vulgar materialism. Dialectics of Nature deals more fully than any other work of Marxism with such problems and categories of dialectics such as causality, chance (freedom) and necessity, relationship of induction and deduction, and many more. Even though unfinished, this outstanding work is amazing for its rich and profound theoretical content. Despite certain aspects being obsolete, notably some factual data and timescales, resulting from the prevailing state of natural science at that time, the general method and conception of the book remain valid today. The book also contains Engels' brilliant essay, The Part Played by Labour in the Transition from Ape to Man, which explains how and by what means our species originated.

For decades, a \"zero-sun\" policy has characterized our approach to sun protection, advising us to stay out of the sun whenever possible and apply sunscreen daily to any skin that might be exposed, rain or shine, summer or winter, indoors or out. But recent studies have proved that this policy is thoroughly mistaken and that this prolific misunderstanding is causing us to miss out on many of the health benefits of sun exposure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this incisive work, acclaimed journalist Rowan Jacobsen presents the growing case for the importance of modest sun exposure for our health and well-being. Aided by the most up-to-date studies on the effects of sunlight on human health, Jacobsen presents a much-needed, lucid assessment of not only what the sun can do for us, but how a lack of sun could actively be harming us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn Defense of Sunlight\u003c\/i\u003e sounds the call on what researchers have been sure of for years, and what health care providers and media outlets have been slow to take up: that sunlight is one of the simplest, and most equitable, treatments for a variety of health issues, from diabetes to dementia to multiple sclerosis. Laying out the new science of sunlight in a straightforward and responsible manner for mainstream readers, this book is an eye-opening story of scientific discovery, outlining not only best practices for sun exposure, but the story of how current recommendations became misguided, how a few inquisitive scientists glimpsed the truth and deciphered the mechanisms responsible, and how everyone can safely incorporate this new knowledge into their daily lives. It also exposes the implicit injustice underlying current approaches, which benefit the whitest people on earth (who are the most susceptible to skin cancer) at the expense of those with darker skin (who suffer extremely low rates of skin cancer and have the most to gain from sun exposure). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA call for a return to common sense in our relationship with our local star, \u003ci\u003eIn Defense of Sunlight\u003c\/i\u003e offers its own seven words of advice: Get sun.
