The Energy of Hebrew Letters
by Rav P.S. BergAccording to the Zohar, among God's first creations were the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Kabbalah teaches that the alphabet, called "ivrit" in Hebrew, comes from the root word lavir, or to transfer. Far more than simple symbols of communication, the letters transfer energy from the Light of God into the physical world. The story of the letters as they pleaded their respective cases for the primary role in God's creative process is the blueprint by which Creation was made possible. In his new book, Rav Berg reveals the spiritual meaning and history of each of the 22 letters: how and why each was created, and what energy it transmits. Berg uses quantum physics to illustrate this bedrock of Kabbalah, proving that this truly is a time when physicists and metaphysicists are joining hands and minds.
Angel Intelligence
by Yehuda BergAngels facilitate the circulation of energy throughout the non-physical universe. Invisible, intangible, and yet they influence us; angels serve as the infrastructure of the spiritual world. Some have existed forever - archangels, angels of the days of the week and of the zodiac, guardian angels, and the Angel of Death. But other angels are created by our actions - good or bad. When we are mindful of our actions, we are able to harness the power of angels, transform ourselves, and find greater fulfillment.
Inteligencia angelical
by Yehuda BergAccording to the teachings of Kabbalah, angels are the infrastructure of the universe, the invisible conduit that moves energy along.

Other angels, both positive and negative, are created through our actions. Inteligencia angelical reveals the power behind these unseen forces and shows how, through Kabbalah, readers can harness that power, transform their lives, and find greater fulfillment.

2012 and Beyond
by Yehuda BergDrawing wisdom from the Zohar, this short kabbalistic text redefines this legendary period of time as a window for individuals and communities to reach "messiah consciousness." That means it's up to people, not some celestial savior, to ignite global change. All the natural disasters poverty, revolutions, anarchy, are wake-up calls to a fragmented humanity. The end is near, but as Yehuda explains this really means "the end of dominance of the human ego. In its place we will experience the unleashing of our true selves - the illuminated human soul." There must be a critical mass, a certain threshold of transformation to capitalize on this window, and when that occurs, the peoples of the world will function as one body while still appreciating our differences. Our collective minds have the power to bring an end to negative consciousness and birth a new existence right now.

Continuará...
by Karen BergAwareness of our soul's journey creates a context that helps us to guide our lives and appreciate what we were given. With this knowledge, our soul will eventually manage-over many lifetimes, to be sure-to understand all the lessons and to put all of these fragments together. As it does so, the soul gathers the sparks of Light back to itself and eventually returns complete to the source of all Light-the Creator. Part I discusses the process of reincarnation-how and why it happens. In Part II readers learn about life challenges and why it's important to embrace them as a necessary part of our soul's work. In Part III people can detect past life lessons by using kabbalistic tools of angels, astrology, palm and face reading. Death is not the end of the game, but just a chance to do over. We have nothing to fear. Life will be continued.
Angel Intelligence
by Yehuda BergAngels serve as the infrastructure of the spiritual world, facilitating the circulation of energy throughout the universe. Some have since the beginning of time - archangels, angels of the days of the week and of the zodiac, guardian angels, and the Angel of Death. Invisible, intangible, and they influence us. But many people don't know we influence them. Some angels are created by our actions - good or bad. When we are mindful of our actions, we are able to harness the power of angels, transform ourselves, and the world.
Consciousness and the Cosmos
by Rav BergWith his signature penetration of non-traditional thought, Kabbalist Rav Beg investigates quantum physics, astrology and the Bible, and uncovers a link between them. Within the pages of Consciousness and the Cosmos, Berg delves into subjects ranging from extraterrestrials, to parallel universes, and the tree of life. Throughout it all he posits that random chance is non-existent. Things that happen through a conjunction of events, whether moments apart or centuries removed, are intimately related.Through the information presented, we come to understand that Time is the distance between Cause and Effect. If one can go back in time and change the cause (the seed) then one can change the effect (the tree). This book reveals how to use consciousness to travel through time and space, and how to tap the forces of intelligence that pervade our cosmos.For readers who are interested in science and question the Bible, and for readers who cherish the Bible and question science, this book provides a logical bridge. Humanity is at the center; we affect everything that happens. Berg unveils a kabbalistic view of the universe, which proposes that mankind is not only a participant but a determinator of all energy activity. Every event, every action,

The Secret History of Rock 'n' Roll
by Christopher KnowlesSex. Drugs. Loud music. Wild costumes. Dazzling light shows. These words can all describe a great rock concert or a hot dance club, but they were also part and parcel of the ancient cultural phenomenon known as the "Mystery religions." In this book, author Christopher Knowles shows how the Mystery religions got a secular reincarnation when a new musical form called rock 'n' roll burst onto the scene. The Secret History of Rock 'n' Roll traces the history of the Mysteries - their rise, their fall, and their survival through long centuries of repression. Knowles shows how the Mysteries prefigured subcultures as diverse as Santeria, Freemasonry, Mardi Gras and even the Holiness churches of the American frontier, and explains exactly how ancient rituals and music found their way to the New World. In the process, The Secret History of Rock 'n' Roll traces the development of rock's most popular genres such as punk and heavy metal, and reveals how many of rock's most iconic artists play the same archetypal roles as the ancient gods. You'll see how many of the rituals and customs and even musical styles of our postmodern society have stunning ancient parallels. You'll meet history's first pop

Queer Beats: How the Beats Turned America On to Sex
by Regina MarlerThe writings that shocked America out of the 1950s<P> Blasting through the crew-cuts and conformism of their day, the Beat writers were queer in the fullest sense of the word: their fluid sexuality challenged all sexual and romantic conventions. Most shocking of their unconventional attitudes was their embrace of same-sex eroticism. At a time when gay people were considered mentally ill or criminal, the Beats celebrated spontaneity and freedom in thought, word, and action. Their highest value was nakedness-even before Allen Ginsberg stripped bare at a poetry reading to silence a heckler. They would try anything once, then write about it.<P> Queer Beats: How the Beats Turned America On to Sex traces, for the first time, the queer pulse that throbs throughout the Beats' writings-from William S. Burroughs's Naked Lunch and Allen Ginsberg's wistful, boy-loving sex poems to Jack Kerouac's hero-worship of Neal Cassady-and Kerouac's denial of having sex with men, despite erotic encounters with Ginsberg and Gore Vidal: "Posterity will laugh at me if it thinks I was queer."
I Am a Woman

Different Daughters

In Different Daughters, thirty mothers of lesbians come together to trace their journeys towards acceptance of their daughters. Facing their fears and confusion, prejudice and misunderstandings, they speak honesty and bravely about the difficulties and joys of life with their "different daughters."Writing about families, community, religion, grandchildren, bisexuality, transgender issues, and coming out, the authors of Different Daughters raise questions shared by all mothers: How can we accept our children for who they are? How can we love our children even when they are different from us?This updated and expanded third edition of Louise Rafkin's landmark anthology includes new stories by mothers of bisexual women and young lesbians, a sister of a lesbian, and the brave testimony of one mother whose lesbian daughter is in the process of redefining her gender.
Sex Changes: The Politics of Transgenderism (2nd ed.)
by Patrick CalifiaThis 2nd edition includes a new Introduction by the author, which discusses his sexual transition to the male gender which occurred between the two editions. Other than in the short introduction (which follows the long Preface chapter), there are no autobiographical references. Sex Changes is a political analysis of many topics as related to transsexuality. Two chapters cover the earliest period of transsexual autobiography and then more current ones, comparing their differences and their impacts on the mainstream community. There is history of Gender Identity Clinics and their function, of surgery and of feminist backlash. Hard to find, but present, are a chapter on partners of transsexuals and one on the growing activism seen stemming from the community itself. Although the title uses the word "transgender" the majority of the book is focused on full gender change: transsexuality. In most chapters and topics, the author keeps his personal perspective aside, and neutral academic criticism is leveled at research methods and resultant findings. However, in a couple chapters, especially Chapter 4, "The Berdache Wars and 'Passing Women' Follies: Transphobia in Gay Academia," Califia makes no attempt to be neutral and is quite adamant about his own negative opinion of prior academic analytical reports. Throughout the book, footnotes and references are extensive, as is a detailed index.
