The Holy Sight is a sacred initiation

The Holy Sight educates about a very simple practice that is both ancient, yet new.  It is understood and "known" by the illuminated.  It has been deeply misunderstood and/or ignored by Western mind.

This simple practice is a 'shift of awareness' that may be experienced and lived.  It allows us to enact this internal alchemy in our lives.  It allows us to appreciate the'Mystical as Practical.'  It allows an exalted now.

What is it...that can shift the Western Mind in 'all its relationships?"...with everyone and everything?

What is it...that can turn belief from material sense and outer appearance?

What is it...that can break the human spell that is the outer seeming of the world of fear, pain, suffering born of separation from Presence?

What is it...that can allow deep forgiveness...easily...naturally?

Let us...come into Holy Sight

Let us...see the true identity of all others

Let us...see the Wholeness...that already is

Let us...feel this Holy Presence...as everywhere present

"Stunning art.....[It's] gorgeous!" -- Jana Riess, Publishers Weekly
 

Adapted from ancient Sanskrit texts, these stories comprise the literary heart of Hinduism, wherein divinity assumes innumerable forms. Among these, the portrayal of the Goddess is perhaps the most alluring. In just a few of her manifestations, she appears as a devoted wife, a master of the arts, a terrifying demon slayer, a scornful critic, a doting mother and a crafty lover stealing off into the night. The Vedic tradition views the beauty, power and grace of the Goddess as one with God, reflecting the universal truth that male and female are but different expressions of one supreme, absolute truth.

The stories of these and many other goddesses, spanning from the obscure to the iconic, are gathered here in a timeless celebration of Goddess imagery, symbolism and lore. The arresting, original portraits that accompany them complete this mythic repertoire with a stunning gallery of color, form and meaning.

Since 1991, Dr. Mitchell Gaynor has been achieving remarkable results by integrating music, vocalization, breathing, and meditation techniques in his work with patients. In The Healing Power of Sound, he presents his sound-based techniques for self-healing—techniques that anyone can use, whether faced with a life-threatening disease or simply seeking relief from the stresses of daily life.

Numerous studies have demonstrated the health benefits of music: it can lower blood pressure and heart and respiratory rates; reduce cardiac complications; increase the immune response; and boost our natural opiates. Gaynor shows how, when integrated as part of a mind-body-spirit approach to wellness, music can play a significant part in maintaining a healthy lifestyle or in healing serious disease. The Healing Power of Sound includes twelve exercises involving breathing, meditation, and "toning"—using pure vocal sound to resolve tension, release emotion, and spur the healing process—that can be used by anyone to improve health and quality of life.

In far northern California, one of the southern most Cascade Range volcanoes rises above the valley floor, its glittering white flanks flashing like a signal beacon to residents and travelers. Mount Shasta, towering at 14,162 feet, has drawn spiritual seekers, recreational enthusiasts and leisure travelers since the late 1800s and serves as an anchor for residents who make their homes around it.

Mount Shasta Reflections is a keepsake for visitors, an invitation to strangers and a memoir for people who live near the mountain. The color photos have captured the many moods of Mount Shasta, expressing the photographers' love for their subject. The vignettes have recorded the essence of the mountain in another way, with stories of living with its enormous presence.

Photographer Jane English and writer Renee Casterline have created a new book to replace the out-of-print Mount Shasta: Where Heaven and Earth Meet. Jane's photographs, supplemented by those of Larry Turner and John Jackson, showcase brilliant sunny days, cool mornings, dark storms and a variety of wildflowers that grow on the flanks of the mountain and in the surrounding valleys. There are bold close-ups, sweeping vistas and shots that suggest the intimacy that comes with studying the mountain through a lense.

The stories of residents share the spirit of the community that surrounds this mountain and the common threads held by those who have chosen to live here. Interviewees tell stories of how and why they came to live near the mountain, while others share stories of growing up around the mammoth.

"Mt. Shasta stands in solitary dominance as the most striking mountain in northern California. Its power exerts itself first on the eyes. To see the mountain from a distance is to experience a transformative awareness of something larger and more beautiful than its mere physical presence. Mt. Shasta is not only visually stunning, but also carries a rich history of exploration and legend, mythical and spiritual odyssey, and contemporary environmental debate."
-from the Introduction

Shasta guide and scholar Michael Zanger draws on a wide range of traditions and sources to present the most complete history of the mountain ever written. Native American legend, tales from early explorers and Gold Rush Fortyniners, and accounts of geological discoveries are accompanied by hundreds of period maps, photos, engravings, and documents. Beautifully illustrated, this book is a tribute to one of North America's great natural treasures.

In the middle of the valley to the west of Mount Shasta, and often mistaken for it by visitors when the bigger mountain is obscured by clouds, is a tiny volcano, Black Butte.

Mount Shasta's Black Butte, edited by writer Bonnie Eddy and well-known photographer Jane English, is filled with stories, history, art, geology and photographs of this unique little peak that, were it not in the shadow of Mount Shasta, would be a well known landmark in its own right.
