Your Spiritual Lineage: Researching the Genealogy of Your Soul: Pioneering a New Understanding of the Origins of Personality DevelopmentTraditional psychology proposes that personality development begins at birth. Instead, this new study proposes that each of us has subconscious memories of past lives that from a much earlier origin. A child prodigy may be selectively “remembering” talents, skills, and accomplishments from a previous lifetime that he is building on early in this one. We are drawn to professions we are familiar with because we’ve done them before, and may choose places to live, visit or vacation because they are pleasant and familiar to us from a past life—walking on our own faded footprints without realizing it. When one of his students, in conversation, began quoting poetry of Arthur Rimbaud without knowing it, author William E. Bray, began exploring the possibility that his student might have been Rimbaud in a past lifetime. Subsequent research led him to develop a lineage chart showing that the spiritual lineage of Rimbaud stretched back through Andre Breton, Virgil and Alexander the Great. He shows how the adventures of Aeneas would have been based on Virgil’s subconscious memories of his own exploits when he would have been Alcibiades in a past life. Each chapter leads the reader through an exciting search to discover the past lives of some of the world’s most important figures. The book is also written as a guide to help the reader learn how to research his own past lives. ISBN-10: 0595395163 ISBN-13: 978-0595395163 |

Defining Art: Messages from GodIn today's murky attempts to define art we see countless articles entitled "Is this Art?" or "What is Art?" Overlooked and forgotten is the definition of art simply provided by perhaps the founder of Western Civilization: Socrates. It is clearly stated in one of Plato's earliest Dialogues Ion . In it, Socrates playfully questions an arrogant young actor who claims all the credit for his achievement, citing his skills. Socrates, instead, suggests that he is chosen as a channel (one of a chain of "divine" messengers) to deliver with force the message which came first to and through the poet (Homer), the first in the chain. The listener (audience) is the last in the chain, who becomes a messenger himself to take the message out into the world. Socrates is defining art as a process, whose origins and ultimate purpose is "divine." It is often overlooked by actors, who are urged to read Aristotle's The Poetics, a how-to manual for wannabe actors, for its oversimplified "step 1-2-3" which sometimes leaves the field of drama saturated with uninspired and uninspiring aspirants. In the end, it provides an empty set of exercises, side-stepping the real nature of art, which is essentially mysterious and religious. Author William E. Bray provides for the reader an introduction to the Socratic definition of art, a simple test for determining what art is, an introduction to and adaptation of Plato's Dialogue Ion and 12 of his reviews of movies which provide "food for the soul." He brings Ion, often neglected and ignored, up to date. ISBN-10: 0595427189 ISBN-13: 978-0595427185 |

At Full BloomAn 'Odyssey' is described as any extended journey. My life can best be described as a series of odysseys, beginning in the colonial period, in Jamaica, a tiny island in the Carribean Sea, extending to Great Britain and currently settling in the United States of America. For these journeys, my role evolved from that of a frightened, naive youngster, to an independent young adult, an abused wife, a mother, a nurse, and a divorcee to that of a senior citizen living in Athens, Georgia. I am now 'at full bloom', remembering all the stages and absolutely enjoying this stage with the utmost contentment. ISBN-10: 1462020577 ISBN-13: 978-1462020577 |
