I am also clairvoyant," he adds, clarifying that, "the first is feeling, the second is seeing, very much like Whoopi Goldberg in the movie, Ghost." The true essence of the messages are the feelings behind the words. James is an expert on this subject, since he has been in touch with those feelings most of his adult life.

We believe that all people should have access to this information and work to that end. 118 Callmen Carl Johann Callmen - The Mayan Time Science describes energy changes in Cosmic history and is our most valuable tool for charting the future.

DPs have become a comfortable term for members of the Dead People's Society. If this sounds like I don't take death seriously,nothing could be further from the truth. What is true, is that I no longer question what death is or is not; rather, I deal with all the ramifications of the fact that we do not die. What is as equally important to me as a medium is helping others validate their own connections/contact with loved ones who have passed over.” 119 Sarah Ban Breathnach Sarah Ban Breathnach : So here’s the thing. A confession, which you might find difficult to believe. All my life I’ve tried to be a bad girl and have not succeeded which is why I’m grateful for the ever bubbly Anne Shirley observation (of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s absorbing turn of the century books Anne of Green Gables ) that it’s so easy to be wicked innocently. If only! That’s why my latest fab pursuit is finding incredibly obscure women’s beauty and personality magazines from the twenties and thirties with titles like Lure and It! Or settling down in the dark with a big bowl of popcorn mesmerized by bad girl flicks from the pre-Code Hollywood vaults such as Golddiggers of 1933… I don’t know about you but Trixie Lorraine is my new best friend. 120 Suzane Northrop 121 Tom-Butler-Bowdon Tom-Butler-Bowdon : The 50 Classics concept is based on a belief that every subject or genre will contain at least 50 books that encapsulate its knowledge and wisdom. By creating a list of those landmark or representative titles, then providing commentaries that note the key points and assess the importance of each work, awareness of these key writings is spread to readers who may not otherwise have known of their existence. 50 Self-Help Classics was initially released only in Australia in 2001, then in the UK, US and rest of the world in 2003 by Nicholas Brealey Publishing. 50 Self-Help Classics has been translated into 15 languages and is sold in over 25 countries. In 2004 it won the US Benjamin Franklin Award, and was a finalist in Foreword Magazine's Book of the Year awards. 122 Theun Mares Theun Mares : I have, for as long as I can remember, always found my greatest inspiration in nature, and because of that love have found myself to become ever more absorbed in the behaviour patterns of all forms of life. In this respect I today know that I should look upon myself as having been "lucky" in that I have always found myself surrounded by more knowledge than I have known what to do with. When I was a child I simply assumed that all people saw what I saw, and thought about things the same way as I do, but as I became older I started to realise that most people are neither close to nature, nor are they familiar with the causes of behaviour patterns. At first I became distressed that people choose to play what I term "the blame game", rather than trying to assess and evaluate the cause of behaviour, but then as my own knowledge of behaviour patterns increased, so I slowly began to understand that most people think and behave the way they do because of their social conditioning. 123 Barbara Rose Dr. Barbara Rose was born and raised in Bayside, New York.
