In Kaul, the Council of Mothers upholds the great Ancestress; Odrel, the god of Sadness, unites the suffering of the Upper Kingdoms; and everywhere the lethal minions of Zuïa, the cold-blooded judiciary goddess, do her fearsome bidding.

On savait que le cerveau était l'entité la plus complexe de l'univers connu. Mais les nouvelles découvertes démontrent que ses possibilités sont bien plus étonnantes qu'on ne le croyait. Non seulement il est totalement élastique - même âgé, handicapé, voire amputé, il peut se reconstruire, apprendre, inventer -, mais aussi totalement social - un cerveau n'existe qu'en résonance avec d'autres : nous sommes neuronalement constitués pour entrer en empathie.

Sometimes you think holding on makes you strong, but sometimes letting go makes you stronger. Ask yourself a question - why do you want to hold on to something that you obviously cannot change, something that is not good for you? In this meditation you will learn to let go - a story, a situation, a feeling or a reaction that you feel is time to let go. Or just let go of everyday life... Letting go does not mean that you discard the knowledge you have experienced in your past.

Sous l'action des Scaythes effaceurs, l'humanité s'abîme peu à peu dans le néant. Son dernier espoir repose sur les guerriers du silence, ces êtres légendaires qui voyagent sur les pensées. Ils devront être douze. Douze à pénétrer dans les annales indiques. Douze à unir leurs forces pour défier la lointaine citadelle Hyponéros. Mais douze disséminés à travers les mondes, pourchassés et persécutés, douze qui s'ignorent eux-mêmes pour la plupart.

This meditation is about becoming aware of the stability of self-respect and strengthening it through affirmations and mantras. Self-esteem is a person's respect for their own personality and sense of their own dignity. Self-esteem is the measure of how a person values and respects himself. In it there is dignity as well as self-assessment and self-esteem. And self-respect has nothing to do with egoism, because only when one fundamentally accepts and respects oneself can one deal with one's own weaknesses in a mindful manner and from one's inner strength.

Who Knows God Better Than Jesus? Jesus said, “No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son”. He went on to give one exception, “and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” If you desire a revelation of God the Father, you only have one thing you need to do, listen to his son Jesus. Our Good Father takes the words of Jesus to bring a fresh understanding to the person of God the Father. Through the use of personal stories, analogies and humor, Our Good Father uses the words of Jesus to paint a picture of the true nature of God. Insightful, ...
