Eye of the Beholder: Johannes Vermeer, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, and the Reinvention of Seeing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 814min
See for yourself! was the clarion call of the 1600s. Natural philosophers threw off the yoke of ancient authority, peered at nature with microscopes and telescopes, and ignited the scientific revolution. Artists investigated nature with lenses and created paintings filled with realistic effects of light and shadow. The hub of this optical innovation was the small Dutch city of Delft. Here Johannes Vermeer's experiments with lenses and a camera obscura taught him how we see under different conditions of light and helped him create the most luminous works of art ever beheld. Meanwhile his neighbor Antoni van Leeuwenhoek's work with microscopes revealed a previously unimagined realm of minuscule creatures. The result was a transformation in both art and science that revolutionized how we see the world today. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tamara Marston.

The Chandian Effect: Explaining the Modus Operandi Behind Near-Death Experiences, Religious Visions, and Other Paranormal Projections , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 55min
The Chandian Effect describes subjective visionary manifestations in which a devotee has a transpersonal encounter involving a sacred figure or form, of which the object of devotion is unaware. The term was first coined by David C. Lane, and so called because Faqir Chand was the first Sant Mat guru to speak at length about the unknowing aspects of such encounters. The effect designates two major factors in these manifestations: The overwhelming experience of certainty that is associated with religious ecstasies. The subjective projection of sacred forms by a meditator or devotee without the conscious knowledge of the object beheld as the center of the experience. Faqir Chand revealed that all gurus are ignorant about the real cause of the visions and miracles attributed to them, and that because of this ignorance, the gurus gained power and devotion from followers that accredited omnipresence and omniscience to them even though these gurus possessed neither. ungekürzt.

Plea to the Warrior Princess: The Princess Tales Trilogy, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 518min
Thaddeus raised a finger toward the distant prison cell. “No doubt the barbarian son of Thor is watching, waiting to see if the princess will accept the annulment of their marriage and set him free. And surely, he must know that if she does not set him free, then she has sentenced him to death and has doomed her own body to be burned at the stake.”Stillness fell over the gathered crowd of Roman citizens. Colesia straightened against the iron stake where she was bound and stared southward. She recalled feeling the presence of Zarkanis as he beheld her from his barred chamber within the Pithranian dungeon; and although she could not see him now, her soul bore witness to his gaze. Plea to the Warrior Princess is the third book in a trilogy beginning with Princess Vayle and followed by Tale of the Vanished Princess. It features a breathtaking consummation to the saga woven through the narration of the first two novels. All three novels proffer unique and creative medieval fantasy and romance, packed with intrigue and adventure. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sarah Allyn Althen.

The coming forth of the automobile, airplanes, electricity, phone systems, man on the moon, great wars, climactical disasters and even cloning foretold. Three "great shakings" of the earth were also prophesied. The third is yet to take place.
