What started out as a linguistic investigation into the meaning behind the intriguing and perplexing shifts in her father’s speech during the final weeks of his life became a much bigger project, leading Lisa Smartt to the work of Raymond Moody and to the founding of the Life After Life Institute.When Lisa Smartt became curious about her dying father’s uncharacteristic language, she began recording what he said. How could the startling changes she saw in her cigar-chomping father in those last weeks of life be explained? How was it that a complete skeptic, whose God lived between the slices of corned beef on rye, suddenly spoke about angels and another dimension? Did his language reveal that there was perhaps something beyond this world?or that we are ?wired” for transcendent experiences at end of life?Because Lisa was a trained linguist and educator, she wanted to explore these questions more deeply, which led her to take a workshop with Raymond Moody, pioneer in research of near deat

Throughout time, people have turned to goddesses as symbols of what they seek — from abundance and healing to protection and passion. In a wide-ranging yet succinct daily reflection format, spiritual teacher Julie Loar presents the qualities and origins of an international array of these deities. She gracefully aligns the goddesses with the seasons of the year and the signs of the zodiac, and in an accessible, contemporary voice, guides readers to see reflections of their own power in these embodiments of the feminine and then put this power to practical use. Like the sherpas who worship Chomolunga while guiding climbers up Everest, readers may call on this Nepalese goddess as they struggle to attain a goal. Or on the Roman Fortuna — inspiration for gambling’s wheel of fortune — for good luck. Loar builds on the bestselling tradition of Jean Shinoda Bolen to help readers draw upon timeless wisdom, one day at a time.
