A compelling investigation of how intense psychological suffering can lead to a dramatic shift into a new, expansive identity Why do some people who experience the worst that life has to offer respond not by breaking down but by shifting up, into a higher-functioning, awakened state, like phoenixes rising from the ashes? And perhaps more importantly, how can we emulate their transformations? Over many years of observing and studying the phenomenon of life-changing awakening through extreme suffering, Steve Taylor coined the term ';transformation through turmoil.' He calls these people ';shifters' and here shares dozens of their amazing stories. In addition, Taylor uncovers the psychological processes that explain these miraculous rebirths after years of struggle or devastating loss, addiction, or imprisonment. He highlights a number of lessons and guidelines that the shifters offer us. In Extraordinary Awakenings, readers will find not only riveting stories of transformation that show the amazing resilience of the human spirit, but also hope and guidance to call on during their own struggles, together with inspiration and profound food for thought.

Have you ever been in an accident and felt that time slowed down? Have you felt time stretch radically, or even apparently disappear, in a state of deep meditation? Psychologist Dr Steve Taylor calls these Time Expansion Experiences, and in this book he shares his years of research into this life-changing phenomenon. Most of us will have experienced a TEE, an experience of time slowing down in an extreme situation, and yet it is a phenomenon that has never been fully explored or explained - until now. Psychologist Dr. Steve Taylor has spent several years analysing "time expansion experiences" (or TEEs), after collecting hundreds of reports. He has also found many examples of "time cessation experiences" (or TCEs), in which time appears to disappear altogether. In this book he shares the fascinating psychology and shared features behind all of these case studies, coming to an incredible conclusion: TEEs are a real altered state of consciousness, rather than a trick of recollection. Not only this, but TEEs and TCEs are almost always positive, with a sense of calm well-being, clarity and heightened awareness. In this ground-breaking book, discover profound implications: What do unusual states of consciousness such as mystical experiences, psychedelic experiences, and near-death experiences tell us about time and consciousness?What can the countless reports of "life review" - when people view a whole lifetime of events and experiences within a few seconds - tell about the past, present and the future?What does modern physics have to say about the idea that linear time is illusory?If our perception of time is an illusion, is it possible to speed up and slow down time at will, including inducing TEEs?

"Little Nick! Now, in my last moment before I die, I tell you everything I think and what I have learned in my life. Do not cry, little Nick. Don't weep. I'll see you again next year in the open-air school. I will be reborn. Now, you really have to listen to me. You have to remember what I say now because I'm going to ask you questions next year. I will talk to you slowly and tell one word after each breath slowly, very slowly. Listen to me. This is a lesson. Your personal lesson and I'm going to ask everything next summer when I will also prove that my soul will return and teach you again in another butterfly body. Every soul experiences rebirth. Birth is a miracle. Aura is an energy field that many of us can't see because it can only be seen with the third eye. The ability to see the aura is connected with the openness of the third eye. If you open your third eye, you can see auras that are energy fields around organisms. You can see them in different colors. Each color has a different meaning and significance. If you want to use your third eye, first you have to look deep inside you and start to talk with your SOUL. First, if you don't find it, you have to ask your soul where it is. You may find it in pieces. The pieces may also be scattered within you. Maybe, there are many of the pieces. You might find a chaos in yourself but don't worry. It's going to pass away. Be patient. If you have found the pieces of your soul, always ask the one first that doesn't want to talk to you. If a piece is wild, dumb, aggressive, or silent, tame it patiently with words. Ask. Maybe, it stays silent and doesn't answer. Silence is also a kind of answer. Be thankful for all answers and silences. It is important to turn to our own soul with respect, honor and love. Later, you will probably find transformed pieces of soul in yourself that you have to grow up with love, tolerance and devotion so that they can become adult parts and are able to unite with your adult self. If you reach this then you will be able to see the aura. The first level. After learning and asking a lot, you will also understand how it works. Later, you will be able to see whether a living being is healthy or ill. Much later, you will be able to feel this energy, learn how to use and transmit it SELFLESSLY to another living being. You will realize that this is a paradox, since the more energy you give selflessly to others, the more energy you will get back. And these new energies help you to see many other new things if you're lucky. This is only one of the first steps towards knowledge. The next step will be when you keep yourself constantly open to all kinds of energies coming from your environment. You accept, tolerate and integrate the energies into yourself and unselfishly pass them along. Over time, you will see that you have become a boost of energy. You will get sick very rarely. You'll always be cheerful, friendly and happy with the world around you. In the next step, you will start to see the cords. You will notice that there is a physical and an astral body and that the two are connected with a cord. It's like the human umbilical cord. Who are the humans? You will meet these creatures later. Then, you will learn that when this cord is severed, the soul leaves the body and the body stops being alive. The body dies but the soul lives on. My body dies soon. I already see a creature called Angel coming to me from the world beyond. This Angel holds the other end of my silver cord and leads my soul to my next mother. The Angel's task is to reveal the events of my lives stored in my silver cord and find my next mother based on my soul's needs and my personal development.

The 19th century saw a series of spiritual movements sweeping through the Isle of Skye as well as other Hebridean Islands. These were times of ferment and change as well as years of hunger, desperation and emigration. Out of a population of some 25,000 in Skye in 1842 - it is said that hardly a home was not affected by the spiritual movement taking place at the time. This was to have a transformation effect on the population, socially as well as spiritually and, as a result of large scale emigration, in other parts of the world, especially the Maritime Provinces of the Canadian Atlantic Coast. Smaller but significant movements have also occurred in more recent times, the last being in 1980.Much of the material here was published, in an abridged form, some 20 years ago in the book 'The Skye Revivals'. It has been out of print for some time. This new book includes over twice the volume of information contained in that book and is fully annotated.

The subject of 'Second Sight', 'Prophecy' or 'Foreknowledge' has both fascinated and terrified the people of the Hebrides of Scotland for hundreds of years. From the alarmed and despairing citizens on the Isle of Eigg in 1690, who, ignoring the warnings of a local Seer, suffered at the hands of hostile forces, until more recent times, people have both listened, laughed, mocked and scorned the words and warnings of their Seers and Prophets.This book is a recounting of some of these stories, from various sources, both old and of a more recent vintage. They are records from the lips and letters of Skye and Hebridean folk who had personal experience or knowledge of them. In addition these stories give a fascinating glance into the life of Skye and other Hebridean communities in an age long past.

How much of your waking time are you fully awake? On the other hand, how often do you stumble through the day on autopilot, half-asleep and out of contact with yourself, instead of feeling connected and alive?In this astounding book, Steve Taylor suggests that our normal consciousness is really a kind of "sleep" from which we sometimes "wake up" into a more intense and complete reality. He provides what is perhaps the first-ever clear explanation of higher states of consciousness, or "awakening experiences."This work delves into: the methods we human beings have used throughout history to induce awakening experiences, including meditation, sex, sports, psychedelic drugs, and sleep deprivation; how higher states of consciousness were normal and natural to some of the world's peoples (and still are, in some cases); and how we can make "wakefulness" our normal state again.By fully explaining awakening experiences, the author makes them much more accessible, which may lead to a revolution in our psychological development as human beings!

Seeking insight from the real-life development of the earliest expressions of emerging church from their birth, through times of adolescent angst and into the reality of adulthood, First Expressions offers a unique insight into the long-term sustainability of fresh expressions.Presenting the lived practice of the church in mission through a longitudinal lens, and eschewing the rose-tinted approach, it considers the reality of emerging churches - their birth and death, their creativity and conflict, their dreams and despair. A picture of a church that is neither gathered and parish nor independent and networked emerges as the biographies of mission are brought into dialogue with a very ancient expression of mission, the birth of Philippians as a first expression of church in Europe..

In our culture, it's often assumed that there are two ways of interpreting the world: in a rational scientific way, or an irrational religious way. This book shows that there is a third alternative: a spiritual, or "panpsychist" view of reality that transcends both conventional science and religion, and answers many of the riddles that neither can
