D rs. Ron and Mary Hulnick, co-directors of The University of Santa Monica, the Worldwide Center for the Study and Practice of Spiritual Psychology, maintain in Remembering the Light Within that the quality of your inner life is fundamental to living a fulfi lling life. Becoming aware of your essential loving nature is the key. This awareness is rooted in the universal truth that we are spiritual beings having a human experience; it is imperative that we peel back the layers of our physical, human existence to reveal the majesty of our Soul. Part spiritual self-help guide and part workbook, Remembering the Light Within is a conduit for empowering your life with clear intention and fi nding freedom from limiting interpretations. If energy follows thought, what you focus on will most likely manifest. Becoming aware of what you believe is one vital task in the awakening process, as it forms the lens of your perception and experience. Your current reality can be perpetuated by any negative or detrimental beliefs you hold; learning how to set these hindering beliefs free is a key illumination of this insightful book. Enhanced with a toolbox full of exercises, meditations, and journaling prompts at the end of each chapter, Remembering aims to set spiritual seekers on the path to awakening. The authors share the tools readers need for tapping into their authentic selves in order to reveal the work they are here on Earth to do. Coupled with the authors' expansive wisdom, the book's tools benefi t readers of all levels of spirituality. From spiritual novices to advanced seekers, Remembering offers insight even to those already steadfast on their spiritual path. Certainly we can all appreciate the reminder of the light within us, keeping us grounded and aware of the power of love that resides at our core. (Hay House) — Ashley Ess BOOKS art & soul D r. Martinez makes a convincing case for the existence of a race of super-intelligent, super-advanced, white- skinned, white-haired humans predating written history, that splintered and dispersed to all continents following their homeland's destruction on the doomed Pacifi c continent of Pan (Mu), 24,000 years ago. In the process, she rallies data from diverse disciplines: oceanography and geology, linguistics, folklore and oral history, archaeology, fossil history, compara- tive anatomy and DNA analysis, and more. An assiduous effort is made to incorporate valid research methods and references where possible, to build a diffi cult case. Her major reference, however, goes uncited and unsup- ported—the automatic-writing transmitted Oahspe: A New Bible, received in the 1880s by American dentist John Bal- lou Newbrough. Among other things, this exhaustive volume chronicles a long view of the geological and human history of the planet, in a manner abreast of roughly contemporaneous H.P. Blavatsky and The Book of Mormon. She is a leading schol- ar of the subject and researched in earlier texts, yet Martinez's thesis would seem much more credible if she spent a little more effort in support of this source. Likely prospective readers probably need little convincing; others will hesitate to invest great effort in such a weighty tome. These latter readers, espe- cially those represent- ing the research fi elds involved, would ben- efi t from the carefully presented data and conclusions, however far and wide a pursuit might follow. Far from uncritical or mystical in approach, Martinez dissects and debunks the Atlantean ver- sion of a lost, prehistoric continent, even as she sharpens and refi nes her analysis in the Pacifi c.
