Ser luz: Brillar con la belleza, la verdad y la esperanza de Dios en un mundo oscuro

Serious Adverse Events: An Uncensored History of AIDS
by Celia Farber&“Farber a lucid and courageous witness to the power-play behind the first &‘scamdemic,&’ . . . [Her] work is journalism at its best—solid, lucid, and humane, attacking wrongs that few dare touch, and thereby helping right them.&”—Mark Crispin Miller, bestselling author and professor of media studies at NYUOn April 23, 1984, in a packed press conference room in Washington, DC, the secretary of health and human services declared, &“The probable cause of AIDS has been found.&” By the next day, &“probable&” had fallen away, and the novel retrovirus later named HIV became forever lodged in global consciousness as &“the AIDS virus.&”Celia Farber, then an intrepid young reporter for SPIN magazine, was the only journalist to question the official narrative and dig into the science of AIDS. She reported on the &“evidence&” that was being continually cited and repeated by health officials and the press, the deadliness of AZT, and Dr. Fauci&’s trials on children, infants, and pregnant mothers. Throughout, Faber&’s reportage was largely ignored. She was maligned, maliciously attacked, and ultimately canceled.Now, forty years after her original reporting, Farber&’s Serious Adverse Events: An Uncensored History of AIDS is reissued with a new foreword by Mark Crispin Miller, shining much-needed light on her groundbreaking work once again. More relevant than ever, this book serves as an essential foundation to understanding its catastrophic sequel: COVID-19. Serious Adverse Events makes clear that the tactics employed at the height of HIV/AIDS—the fearmongering, cancel culture, and &“woke&” takeover of science, medicine, and journalism—persist today. The response to COVID-19 isn&’t new: it is a well-trod and dangerous path in the social landscape.&“Groundbreaking work.&”—Bob Guccione, Jr., founder of SPIN magazine&“Farber&’s research give context to the Covid catastrophe which she all but predicted. Despite the medical cartel&’s brutal crusade to silence and vilify her, Farber never compromised. . . I&’m happy she has lived to experience her own utter vindication. I also love her writing style.&”—Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Seriously, Just Go to Sleep
by Adam Mansbach"Now there's a version, complete with more of the gorgeous, yet weirdly subversive illustrations. The best part? It's still funny. The rhythms, the plodding rhymes, the illustrations, the clever play on the overused trope of the world at bedtime -- they all work together to take Seriously, Just Go to Sleep beyond parody and into the realm where good children's books belong: things that parents, and children, can honestly come to from different places and enjoy together. I can imagine reading Seriously, Go to Sleep nightly, and even to the point where you're begging the child to choose something else (the ultimate compliment for a picture book) and yet still finding something to enjoy. It captures a different 'zeitgeist' of modern parenting."--New York Times"From the team that touched off the irreverent humor trend Go the F**k to Sleep, author Adam Mansbach and illustrator Ricardo Cortes, comes a new kid-friendly version of their instant comic classic. Seriously, Just Go to Sleep brings children in on the joke, helping them understand their own tactics and why their parents just want them to go . . . to sleep."--Publishers WeeklyCritical success for the original Go the F*** to Sleep, a #1 best seller at: New York Times, Amazon.com, Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, and many more!Seriously, Just Go to Sleep is the G-rated, traditional-sized, children's version of the book every parent has been talking about. Go the F*** to Sleep, the picture book for adults, became a cultural sensation by striking a universal chord for parents. Now, Adam Mansbach and Ricardo Cortés reunite with Seriously, Just Go to Sleep, inviting the children themselves in on the joke. As parents know, kids are well aware of how difficult they can be at bedtime. With Cortés's updated illustrations (including a cameo appearance by Samuel L. Jackson, who narrated the audio book version of Go the F*** to Sleep) and Mansbach's new child-appropriate narrative, the book allows kids to recognize their tactics, giggle at their own mischievousness, and empathize with their parents' struggles--a perspective most children's books don't capture. Most importantly, it provides a common ground for children and their parents to talk about one of the most stressful aspects of parenting.Seriously, Just Go to Sleep came to be when Mansbach read a highly censored rendition of the original book to his three-year-old daughter, and she recognized herself as the culprit and was delighted. "We were getting a lot of feedback from parents, saying that their kids loved the book--read in an altered form--because they recognized themselves in the character of the mischievous kid who's winning the bedtime battle, and thought it was hilarious. So we figured we’d do a companion volume that lets kids in on the fun."

With Justin Timberlake&’s &“Rock Your Body&” in mind, she combined her love of food and created @BroccYourBody to start sharing her favorite recipes on Instagram.

Serpent of Light: The Movement of the Earth's Kundalini and the Rise of the Female Light
by Drunvalo Melchizedek“Serpent of Light is a masterful description of the great Earth activations that are occurring during the end of the Mayan Calendar.” —Barbara Hand Clow, author of The Mayan CodeEvery 13,000 years on Earth a sacred and secret event takes place that changes everything. Mother Earth’s Kundalini energy emerges from its resting place in the planet’s core and moves like a snake across the surface of our world. Once at home in ancient Lemuria, it moved to Atlantis, then to the Himalayan mountains of India and Tibet, and with every relocation changed our idea of what spiritual means. And gender. And heart. This time, with much difficulty, the “Serpent of Light” has moved to the Andes Mountains of Chile and Peru.Multi-dimensional, multi-disciplined and multi-lived, for the first time in this book, Drunvalo begins to tell his stories of thirty-five years spent in service to Mother Earth. Follow him around the world as he follows the guidance of Ascended Masters, his two spheres of light, and his own inner growing knowledge. His story is a living string of ceremonies to help heal hearts, align energies, right ancient imbalances, and balance the living Earth’s Unity Consciousness Grid—in short, to increase our awareness of the indivisibility of life in the universe. We are all—rocks and people and interdimensional beings—one!“Life may seem to be business as usual, but it is not. We are changing fast . . . Remember this for life is going to present stranger things to you in your lifetime, and they all have meaning and purpose . . . Only Mother Earth and ancient Maya know what’s going to happen.” —from Serpent of Light

Servants of Satan: The Age of the Witch Hunts
by Joseph KlaitsHow the persecution of witches reflected the darker side of the central social, political, and cultural developments of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.This is the first book to consider the general course and significance of the European witch craze of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries since H.R. Trevor-Roper’s classic and pioneering study appeared some fifteen years ago. Drawing upon the advances in historical and social-science scholarship of the past decade and a half, Joseph Klaits integrates the recent appreciations of witchcraft in regional studies, the history of popular culture, anthropology, sociology, and psychology to better illuminate the place of witch hunting in the context of social, political, economic and religious change.“In all, Klaits has done a good job. Avoiding the scandalous and sensational, he has maintained throughout, with sensitivity and economy, an awareness of the uniqueness of the theories and persecutions that have fascinated scholars now for two decades and are unlikely to lose their appeal in the foreseeable future.” —American Historical Review“This is a commendable synthesis whose time has come . . . fascinating.” —The Sixteenth Century Journal“Comprehensive and clearly written . . . An excellent book.” —Choice“Impeccable research and interpretation stand behind this scholarly but not stultifying account.” —Booklist“A good, solid, general treatment.” —Erik Midelfort, C. Julian Bishko Professor Emeritus of History and Religious Studies, University of Virginia“A well written, easy to read book, and the bibliography is a good source of secondary materials for further reading.” —Journal of American Folklore
