COMMUNICATION
"Non-Violent Communication" by Marshall Rosenberg
With Nonviolent Communication (NVC) we learn to hear our own deeper needs and those of others. Through its emphasis on deep listening—to ourselves as well as others—NVC helps us discover the depth of our own compassion. This language reveals the awareness that all human beings are only trying to honor universal values and needs, every minute, every day. The form is simple, yet powerfully transformative.

METAPHYSICS AND MULTIDIMENSIONALITY
"Antares – Free Energies and Symbolic Forces" by Werner Neuner
The symbolic forces from Antares enable the human mind to use free energies, in a concentrated and purposeful manner. Everything that serves the development of man as an individual or mankind as a collective can be initiated and supported with the help of symbols. Antarean symbols are seven-dimensional cosmic forces. They evolved from very clearly defined forms of “free energies” which are shapeless, dimensionless and value-free and which can be used anywhere and at anytime in this universe. When they are shaped and assigned to a dimension, they start to assume effective force in a specific direction. The force of these symbols was installed and knowledge about them was transmitted to us so as to enable us to benefit from their effects. These symbols positively affect human consciousness and development and always respect free will. Free energies will only release their force once an individual (in his/her wholeness, with his/her divine consciousness) accepts or consciously asks for the force of a symbol. The ultimate aim of these forces and their creators is to advance our present and future evolution, to facilitate transition to a new consciousness, and to serve as an orientation tool to guide us in a New World. Since our Antarean celestial siblings have lovingly undertaken the task of assisting and furthering us in our evolution, they will also benefit from a major step forward in their own evolution.

"Ingmar – The System of Symbolic Forces of Aldebaran by Dr. Wolfgang Becvar
People all over the world are now establishing contact with their stellar brothers and sisters who are providing them with the information needed for the times to come. These could be soul mates of Sirius, of the Pleiades or even of Aldebaran. They all have important information ready for us so that we will have sufficient tools at our disposal in the phase of transition and afterwards. Aldebaran, the solar system with the number 211, is located in the constellation Taurus. Some of the beings that live there feel obliged, in a very loving and spiritual way, to gradually impart their knowledge to their relatives and to all humans on Earth who are interested. Ingmar marks the start of the transfer of this information to the human consciousness. In the book, these messages are intentionally written in a relatively concise and clear form because Ingmar is a system that is open to everyone and everything. It is a system that focuses on free energies and the efficient use of these energies. Readers and/or beings that concern themselves responsibly with the symbolic forces described are free to find out what and how many possibilities are held out by the application and combination of the symbols.

"Larimar – The System of Symbolic Forces of Sirius B" by Dr. Wolfgang Becvar
Larimar is the name of the symbolic system which has been discovered and decoded in “the memory of Earth”. Humans are to be reminded of their inherent creative potential. The symbols described in this book are representations of energetic programmes that have been in existence in our universe for aeons. All beings have access to them and are entitled to use them freely. As a consequence, we have tools at our disposal which we can retrieve spiritually and use simply to produce extremely powerful effects. It was in the so-called morphogenetic field of Earth (our planet’s memory) that we perceived and decoded this knowledge.These symbolic forces strive to remind humans of their creative potential, and promote their closeness to humanity and Creation as a whole in the knowledge of their own absolute freedom. The symbols of LARIMAR mainly assist humans with psychic processes and promote their mental and spiritual development.

WOMEN, WILD-WOMEN, AND THE DIVINE FEMININE
"Women who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype" by Clarissa Pinkola Estés, PhD
Within every woman lives a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual nature of women. But she is an endangered species. In WOMEN WHO RUN WITH THE WOLVES, Dr. Estes unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, and stories, many from her own family, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. Through the stories and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine. Dr. Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.
