A wonderful book by Paulo Coelho, this is about a shepherd, his dreams and his willingness to listen to his 'inner voice' and make his dreams come true.  This book will change your thoughts about your life and the people that you meet.  Absolutely enchanting and a quick read.

This book showed me more than any that Love is stronger than death.

Publisher's excerpt: Joel Rothschild and his partner, Albert, who were both HIV positive, made a pact; whoever died first would attempt to "signal" the other from beyond. Joel wasn't sure he believed in psychic abilities, but from the day Albert died he began receiving messages. Albert's messages have changed not only Joel's life but the lives of many others who have been helped by messages Joel has delivered to them. Their stories and Joel's account of his own psychic awakening - a transformation from cynic to believer - are both amazing and reassuring.

I was impressed in a meditation of a vision of a White Eagle. The next week at the book store I found within a personal search for a book to help me understand what was happening to me.  Spiritual Unfoldment 1 immediately felt like it was "meant to be" that I find this book. To quote from the introduction: "He teaches that true clairvoyance is a deep spiritual experience...By following White Eagle's guidance we learn that there are numerous levels of vision-awareness or consciousness of another state of life...man finds himself endowed with gifts of the spirit which make him free to contact the inner spiritual world at will, and convince him, beyond all shadow of doubt, of the immortality of the soul."  This first book made me feel like there was something blossoming inside me. I have since read, and return to, all four Spiritual Unfoldment books and many of the others.  Other books by White Eagle include:

• The Gentle Brother

The true story of Dr. Hank Wesselman, an anthropologist that begins with a series of vivid dreams he had while living on the flank of an active volcano in Hawaii. Eventually, Dr. Wesselman became convinced that what he'd experienced were not merely dreams but a vision encounter with what shamans have long called the "spirit world". This book pushed the limit of my imagination and understanding. Although I cannot fully say I quite believe everything, I can say that there is something within that touched my heart and rang true.

This book made it to #1 on the New York Times Bestseller List. On the night of November 19, 1973, following surgery, thirty-one-year-old wife and mother Betty J. Eadie died.... This is her extraordinary story of the events that followed, her astonishing proof of life after physical death. Written simply and honestly with all the doubts and confusion in tact

They say that when we leave this physical life and move on to the afterlife, we have a life review in which we feel what other people felt in their dealings with us while we were alive. If we hurt them, we feel their pain. If we added pleasure, we feel their joy.  Dannion Brinkley had two near-death experiences that profoundly changed his life forever. The initial journey is told to us in his first book "Saved by the Light: The True Story of a Man Who Died Twice and the Profound Revelations He Received" . This book takes us further in his discovery of his ability to give comfort where it is needed, especially to those who are dying, and demonstrates that the dying often have enhanced psychic ability and clarity of vision that can make death more graceful for everyone involved.

Conversations With God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 1

I passed over these books for quite some time because, quite simply, I judged this book by its title.  *Ahem*... I most humbly apologize to the Universe for being so full of myself.  I cannot rave enough about these books.  Call him God//The Creator/The Source/Universal Consciousness/Big Kahuna .. it really doesn't matter.  It's not who the words come from, but what they say to your heart and soul that makes this book so special.  And, I always knew that God must have a great sense of humour!  Other books by Neale Donald Walsch include:

•  Conversations With God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 2
•  Conversations With God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 3
•  Friendship with God: An Uncommon Dialogue

This book is amazing. The content is so powerful and moving and inspirational. The lessons truly lend themselves to helping you change your old patterns and evolve into a more peaceful, loving, non-judgemental person. It is a MUST READ for anyone interested in spiritual growth and seeking truth.

Kiss of God: The Wisdom of a Silent Child

A very touching book, one that we can learn much from this little child and his faith in the Creator.
