By Patrícia Pinto, Walter Parks. 2015
A Evidência Científica prova que a Cristaloterapia funciona. Tenho ouvido falar de Cristaloterapia durante toda a minha vida, mas assumi…
que era charlatanismo. Um amigo meu, que era um crente, pediu-me para fazer uma investigação e para tentar encontrar uma base científica para a Cristaloterapia. A minha carreira profissional é a de Engenheiro Aeroespacial, por isso ele pensou que eu seria capaz de encontrar a base científica para algo em que ele acreditava com tanto afinco. Senti que tinha que fazer esse favor ao meu bom amigo. Percebi que qualquer uma que fosse a base científica para a Cristaloterapia iria requer algum tipo de troca de energia, entre o cristal e o nosso corpo humano. Avaliei vários tipos de cristais e descobri que a ametista tinha o melhor campo de energia mensurável e um maior número de dados mais disponíveis. Já sabia, a partir da famosa equação do Einstein E = MC2 que os nossos corpos são, basicamente, dois tipos de matrizes: uma é a matéria (M), que é a nossa carne e os ossos, e a outra é a energia (E), que tem um campo eletromagnético mensurável. C é a velocidade da luz. Também sabia que os defensores da Cristaloterapia chamam a esse campo de aura. O objetivo básico era, então, encontrar um mecanismo que permitisse aos nossos corpos receber uma transmissão de energia, vinda das irradiações de um cristal. Li artigos sobre os Vedas, da antiga religião hindu, e aprendi mais sobre as suas crenças, sobre os chacras e, especialmente, que chamavam ao chacra de terceiro olho. Estive a fazer investigações sobre esse terceiro olho e aprendi que os nossos ancestrais, de fato, tinham um terceiro olho que podia captar as vibrações do seu meio ambiente. Algumas criaturas primitivas, que ainda estão hoje vivas nos nossos dias, têm terceiros olhos. As investigações posteriores revelaram que o Terceiro Olho dos nossos antepassadosGuerra Contra o Ocultismo, Feitiçaria e Falsa Religião

Este livro é uma obra sobre o que chamo de trindade do mal - ocultismo, feitiçaria e religião falsa. Estas…
são os organismos através do qual Satanás realiza seus planos perversos contra o avanço do Reino de Deus e da humanidade. Estes três ramos do reino das trevas trabalham em harmonia para atingir os objetivos acima referidos. Satã é o criador e cabeça de cada um deles. E você vai sempre encontrar o outro quando qualquer um deles estiver em operação. É por isso que eu os chamo de uma trindade. Por exemplo, no ocultismo, você também encontrará a feitiçaria e religião falsa. Os falsos profetas e as bruxas geralmente pertencem às sociedades e cultos secretos. Eles limitam-se a ramificar-se de acordo com os seus objetivos e ações imediatas. Eles são diferentes ramos de uma mesma árvore. Mas como podemos verificar esta ameaça espiritual que ao longo dos tempos tem causado tanta confusão para o homem e sua tensa relação com o seu Criador? Isto é o que nós tentamos mostrar aqui. Todo cristão deve se levantar, vestir toda a armadura do reino dos céus e lutar contra esses ataques satânicos. E nós temos que fazer isso agora; com urgência e de forma decisiva.The Nutcracker: The Original Holiday Classic
By E. T. Hoffman. 2018
On Christmas Eve, seven-year-old Marie and her eight-year-old brother Fritz anxiously await their Christmas gifts. When their godfather—a clock builder…
and toymaker—arrives, he unveils an ornate clockwork castle adorned with whirling figurines for the children. While Fritz plays with the clock, Marie is taken aside and given another gift—a nutcracker. After Fritz grabs the nutcracker from Marie and breaks its jaw by cracking too many nuts, their playtime ends and they head off to bed. When the clock strikes twelve, magic makes its way into this enduring tale and an epic battle ensues. This timeless classic, featuring all-new full-color and black-and-white illustrations by artist Arkady Roytman and abridged text by Gina Gold, is the perfect story to get anyone in the holiday spirit!Cristales Sanadores: Evidencia Científica
By Silvana Borghi, Walter Parks. 2016
He escuchado toda mi vida sobre la sanación por cristales pero siempre lo consideré pura charlatanería. Un amigo, creyente él,…
me pidió que echara un vistazo y encontrara la base científica de esta terapia. Al haber cursado una carrera en ingeniería aeroespacial, él pensó que, seguramente podría encontrar la base científica de algo que él cree tan fuertemente. Sentí que tenía que comprobarlo por mi amigo. Me di cuenta de que cualquier base científica para la sanación a través de cristales tendría que requerir algún tipo de intercambio de energía entre el cristal y nuestro cuerpo. He evaluado varios tipos de cristales y encontré que la amatista tenía el mejor campo de energía mensurable con la mayoría de los datos disponibles. Sabía debido a la famosa ecuación de Einstein E = MC2 que nuestros cuerpos son básicamente dos tipos de matrices: una de materia (M) que es nuestra carne y hueso y otra de energía (E) que tiene un campo electromagnético cuantificable. (C es la velocidad de la luz). Sabía que los defensores de curación por cristales llamaban aura a este campo. El objetivo básico entonces era encontrar un mecanismo que permita a nuestros cuerpos recibir una transmisión energética desde un cristal radiante. He leído sobre los Vedas de la antigua religión hindú y he aprendido sobre sus creencias respecto de los chakras y en especial del Chakra llamado el Tercer Ojo. He investigado este tercer ojo y aprendí que nuestros antepasados, de hecho, tenían un tercer ojo que podía percibir frecuencias de vibraciones del entorno. Algunas criaturas primitivas que aún viven hoy en día lo tienen. Investigaciones posteriores revelaron que el tercer ojo de nuestros antepasados había evolucionado a nuestra glándula pineal actual. Investigué entonces que nuestra glándula pineal segrega una hormona que se ha convertido en el conducLa guerra contro l'Occultismo, la Stregoneria e la Falsa Religione

La Guerra contro l' Occultismo, la stregoneria e la falsa religione di Gabriel Agbo Questo libro è un lavoro su…
quello che io chiamo la trinità del male - l'occultismo, la stregoneria e la falsa religione. Queste sono gli agenti attraverso le quali Satana svolge i suoi piani malvagi contro l'avanzamento del regno di Dio e l'umanità. Questi tre rami del regno dell'oscurità operano in armonia per raggiungere gli obiettivi di cui sopra. Satana è l'iniziatore e a capo di ciascuno di loro. E troverete sempre del resto quando qualsiasi è in funzione. Questo è il motivo per cui li chiamo una trinità. Per esempio, nell'occultismo, si trova anche la stregoneria e la falsa religione. I falsi profeti e le streghe di solito appartengono alle società e culti segreti. Essi si diramano meramente in base ai loro obiettivi e le operazioni immediati. Sono diversi rami di uno stesso albero. Ma come controlliamo questa minaccia spirituale secolare che ha causato tanto scompiglio per l'uomo e ha strappato il suo rapporto con il suo creatore? Questo è quello che abbiamo cercato di offrire qui. Ogni cristiano deve alzarsi, indossare l'armatura del regno dei cieli e combattere questi assalti satanici. E dobbiamo farlo ora; con urgenza e decisione.La Guerra contra el Ocultismo, la Brujería y la Falsa Religión

Este libro es un trabajo sobre lo que yo llamo la trinidad del mal-el ocultismo, la brujería y la falsa…
religión. Estas son las agencias a través de las cuales Satanás lleva a cabo sus planes malvados contra el avance del reino de Dios y contra la humanidad. Estas tres ramas del reino de las tinieblas funcionan en armonía para lograr los objetivos mencionados. Satanás es el iniciador y está a la cabeza de cada una de ellas. Y siempre encontrarás al resto cuando cualquiera de ellas esté en acción. Es por eso que digo que son una trinidad. Por ejemplo, en el ocultismo también encuentras brujería y falsa religión. Los falsos profetas y los brujos usualmente pertenecen a sociedades y cultos secretos. Ellos simplemente se expanden de acuerdo a sus objetivos y acciones inmediatos. Son diferentes ramas del mismo árbol. Pero ¿cómo detendremos esta amenaza de siglos que ha causado tanto caos al hombre y ha tensionado la relación del hombre con su creador? Esto es lo que intentamos exponer aquí.Honour: Achieving Justice for Banaz Mahmod
By Caroline Goode. 2020
When Rahmat Sulemani reported his girlfriend Banaz missing, it quickly became clear to DCI Caroline Goode that something was very…
wrong. In fact, Banaz had contacted her local police station multiple times before, even listing the names of the men she expected to murder her in a so-called 'honour' killing. Her parents didn't seem worried, but Banaz had already accused them of being part of the plot.DCI Goode's team took on the investigation before they even had proof that a murder had taken place. What emerged was a shocking story of betrayal and a community-wide web of lies, which would take the team from suburban south London to the mountain ranges of Kurdistan, making covert recordings and piecing together cell phone data to finally bring the killers to justice.The Saffron Trail: Discover Marrakech in this perfect escapist read
