HEALING THE LUMINOUS BODY:
The Way of the Shaman
With Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D
Featuring paintings by Alex Grey
In this fascinating and informative video, Alberto Villoldo, PH.D., introduces viewers to the luminous energy field that surrounds and informs our physical body like a blueprint of life. Unveiling the secret of ancient shaman-healers, he teaches us that many of our physical and psychological problems stem from imprints within our luminous body. Dr. Villoldo reveals the nature of this luminous field, how it acts as a blueprint for our physical body and how by understanding its nature, we can actually heal ourselves and each other. Once the luminous body is cleared, Dr. Villoldo explains, physical and emotional healing can begin.

Trained as a Medical Anthropologist, Dr. Villoldo left the academic world behind twenty years ago to study among the Inka shamans. It was in the Andes Mountains of South America that he discovered the wisdom of the luminous body from the indigenous shamans. This ancient knowledge reveals the secret of true health and happiness.

To aid Dr. Villoldo in explaining the luminous energy field, the paintings of visionary artist Alex Grey are presented. No other artist has depicted the luminous energy form in all of its intricacies as clearly as Alex Grey. Dr. Villoldo's presentation, together with Alex Grey's images helps all of us understand the nature of our spiritual and physical well-being.

Many of our illnesses, psychological disorders, addictions and failed relationships can be traced to faulty imprints in our luminous body. In this video, Dr. Villoldo unveils how to heal and recover from these destructive imprints and regain our physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Join us as we travel to the Andes Mountains to learn the secret of the ancient Shamans, a secret that can lead all of us to health, happiness and beauty.

A Monument to the End of Time:

Alchemy, Fulcanelli and the Great Cross (Aethyrea Books) $19.95 Retail

By Jay Weidner and Vincent Bridges

This thought-provoking book reveals one of the deepest secrets of Western occultism - that the transformation of base metal into gold is also the transformation of the current dark Age of Iron into the Golden Age of light. Rooted in the work of the enigmatic 20th century alchemist Fulcanelli, as well as many years of research and exploration in their fields, authors Weidner and Bridges have decoded the message inscribed on the Great Cross of Hendaye, France - a message that predicts the date of the fatal season of the apocalypse. From the shores of southwestern France to Notre Dame Cathedral to the temples of ancient Egypt and the secret origins of Atlantis in Peru, the authors examine the myths and mysteries of the earth's periodic catastrophes, the hidden knowledge of the end of time and the great alchemical secret of the imperishable body of light that lies deep within our DNA. Filled with new insights into the art of alchemy, this book offers an eye-opening view of the covert history of this ancient tradition and its impact upon the spiritual teachings of the West.

"The authors, by their brilliantly derived mix of alchemy with astrophysics, have breathed new life into the Fulcanelli enigma." -- Jocelyn Godwin, author of Cosmic Music

"Fascinating detailed, truly ground-breaking work." -- Moira Timms author of Beyond Prophesies and Predictions
