Two women, strangers to each other and living 3,000 miles apart, were mysteriously brought together for a spiritual work. That work has continued, by word of mouth alone, for over 45 years, facilitating the growth of thousands of participants into higher consciousness. This memoir reveals the creation of a supportive, international Love Family of individuals that is open to everyone. It is rooted in the six Love Principles, originated by Arleen Lorrance in 1970 in a Brooklyn, New York, high school as part of The Love Project, including "Be the change you want to see happen," a phrase mistakenly attributed to Mahatma Gandhi for many years. In the pages of this book you will find the profound wisdom Arleen and Diane have lived and taught, the methods they have developed for expanding awareness and creating realities, and a description of their relationship which they consider a Divine Union. Filled with inspiration, practicality and humor, this is a must-read for those on a spiritual path.

This book is a practical guide to enchancing life through knowledge of the creative forces. It provides the keys to the new Partnership Paradigm that is supplanting the Patriarchy. It will help the reader to understand the yin and yang forces within, to open the floodgates of inspiration, imagination, creativity and fruitfulness, to tap into a life purpose, to harness the power of Will, and to trust the changes that occur in life. It addresses how the yin and yang can be brought into balance in relationships, in families, and in society as well as in body, psyche, and spirit.

Introducing new reprints by and about Bishop James Pike: The Other Side Search The Other Side is a moving narrative of a father's efforts to save his son from enslavement to psychedelic drugs, a tragic story of a young and gifted man's premature death, a startling story of poltergeist occurrences that led the father and other witnesses to believe that from beyond the grave his son was trying to get in touch, a detailed account of how this communication proceeded during a time when the father was under accusation for heresy for believing too little. Above all, it is an analysis by one of America's keenest minds of what all these experiences may mean. The Other Side certainly reads like a suspenseful novel, yet every phrase of the narration is painstakingly documented by eyewitness accounts of the strange occurrences that led the Bishop Pike to consult mediums in England and America, and by several word-for-word tape recordings of such seances. All readers will find here an honest and lucid exploration of psychic phenomena, and those who have lost a loved one to suicide will find reason to take heart and find hope. James A. Pike was bishop of the Episcopal diocese of California and a staff member of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions. Prior to becoming an Episcopal priest he was a prominent lawyer in Washington D. C. He authored many books on law, theology, and ethics, including Doing the Truth, You and the New Immorality, and If This be Heresy. Diane Kennedy Pike is the widow of James A. Pike. She graduated from Stanford University with a BA in education and earned her master's degree in English from Columbia University. She currently resides in Scottsdale, Arizona.

What stories do you find yourself telling again and again? Which experiences remain most vivid in your memory? What situations evoke the most powerful sensations and emotions in you? How can you live with greater freedom, purpose? creativity, and power? This books helps readers to explore these questions by examining their most vivid life experiences as if they were dreams. Through the stories of waking dream grouop participants, the author presents a method for deciphering the hidden messages of real life events. If we are in some sense "dreaming" while we are awake, then what we experience says far more about us than it does about the world around us. We can discover the power of our own consciousness by giving up the illusion that our lives are happening to us. We can learn instead to change our lives by changing ourselves.

Introducing two Stringfellow/Towne reprints about Bishop Pike: The Bishop Pike Affair The Death and Life of Bishop Pike The Death and Life of Bishop Pike is an in-depth, documented portrait of James A. Pike--the most controversial American clergyman of modern times. Based on prodigious research into private letters and unpublished documents, as well as exhaustive interviews, it is a biography so candid that the book itself is bound to be controversial. The authors are utterly frank about the bishop's turbulent personal life--his three marriages, his sexuality, his alcoholism, the suicides of his oldest son and of an intimate associate, the temptation of his celebrity, his complex relationship with his mother, and his terrible death in the wilderness. They have thoroughly investigated his notorious experiences with "psychic phenomena"--arriving at their own startling and provocative conclusions. Nevertheless, this book is neither an expose nor an apologia. It is an honest, dramatic, and compelling testament to an extraordinary and vital personality--to the colorful and courageous Christian witness of Bishop James A. Pike, whose advocacy of social justice and whose search for faith--restless and unorthodox as it was--had an astonishing impact on the contemporary church.

Introducing new reprints by and about Bishop James Pike: The Other Side Search Search is the complete story of how Bishop James A. Pike disappeared in the Judean wilderness in 1969 while pursuing his interest in the historical Jesus. His was a lifelong search for truth, and his interest in the new light cast by the Dead Sea Scrolls had caused him to reexamine who Jesus was in the context of the times in which he lived. Bishop Pike and his wife of eight months, the author of this account, wanted a direct experience of the Judean wilderness in which Jesus had fasted and meditated for forty days and nights. They drove their rented car on a little-used road and, after getting stuck, tried to walk to the caves at Qumran. Emotion radiates from every page of this swiftly paced, unsparingly honest and revealing account-a narrative that will make you not only identify and understand how it all could have happened, but also feel as if you were there yourself and-probably-would have acted as the Pikes did. The story of Search is tragic, but the author has a faith in God and in an afterlife that makes it possible for her to conclude her narrative by stating that she knows that ""Jim is alive and so am I.
