"Twelve Tribes"

The Twelve Tribes lived in California in the days before American colonization. They based their lives upon astrology, pushing the boundaries of that ancient science to new heights, as each tribe attempted to master one sign above all others. Learn their unique system, which features a zodiac of native California animals, and hear their stories, as featured in the book The Twelve Tribes. Hale, the author, will also unveil and demonstrate his unique talent of sign shifting, which is the ability to change your sign at will. He developed this talent while writing the book and it has given him a new understanding and appreciation of the nature of astrology.

'The Visionary Window: A Quantum Physicist’s Guide to Enlightenment'

After almost a century of using quantum physics to delve into mystery of matter, it is clear that by itself it is not complete; the conscious observer is necessary to complete it. Thus opens the visionary window, introducing into science the idea of consciousness as the ground of all being and the metaphysical basis for a new paradigm. Does God exist? Can spirituality be integrated with science? Is happiness possible? Do miracles really happen? Not only does "The Visionary Window" answer "yes" to all of these questions, but it skillfully combines the fields of philosophy, cosmology, religion, and psychology to form a new way of thinking about science and spirituality.
