 Shining LotusGreetings!

Welcome to the end of another year, and the start of our 39th year as Denver's best source for metaphysical books, supplies and education. Cleta Williamson probably never imagined her little store on East Colfax would still be around to bring in a new year in 2011.
To celebrate our 39th birthday, we would like to share a present with you. During this week between Christmas and New Year's Day, everything you buy will be discounted by 25%. That means statues, art, candles, incense, crystals, new books and used books, everything is 25% off.
So get here this week! This sale ends on the last day of 2010.
 
We will be closed on New Year's Day and January 2, 3 & 4 for inventory. We will re-open on the 5th of January.  


Do you know someone who doesn't have an email address but would love to get the newsletter? Why not print this one and give it to them? They will love it!


Sincerely,

Tim Johnson & Justin Swanstrom

EXPLORING THE NATURE OF KARMA

by Bruce Johnson
Ancient Wisdom/Occultism Examiner


The doctrine of karma can be compared to a mysterious land that as pioneers in thought, we have just begun to investigate. Understanding the basic qualities of karma can be a map to treasures of truth hidden within this universal law that all are subject to. Let's examine this spiritual law of divine justice which is as broad in scope, unchanging, and real as any law known to modern science.

Karma can be defined as action, or effect producing cause.
 
Bruce Johnson is the Arvada Ancient Wisdom/Occultism Examiner at www.examiner.com. He has over 30 years of study in the fields of Ancient Wisdom and occultism. He has taught classes on a wide range of topics, from Atlantis to mediums to Zoroaster. He is also a spiritualist minister, with a background in spiritual astrology. He lives in Colorado with his wife and their cat.

JANUARY ASTROLOGICAL UPDATE

by Marci McCaffery

  

As another year lies before us, we look forward with faith and optimism for what the New Year will hold.

 
Astrologer Marci McCaffery
2011 begins with a partial Solar eclipse on January 4th at 13 degrees Capricorn, highlighting a *Jupiter-Uranus conjunction at 27 degrees Pisces. This conjunction squares the Galactic Center (our higher dimensional, Milky Way Galaxy) at 26 degrees 55 minutes, Sagittarius. *Jupiter, the planet of expansion and Uranus, the planet of intuitive awakenings and change, serves to illuminate our awareness of unity consciousness. This is further emphasized by a collective readiness to move beyond the past. We are encouraged to embrace our interconnectedness and interdependence, as we become master teachers to build a more enlightened society.


Marcia McCaffery will be providing readings at Shining Lotuson Sat., January 15 from 12pm to 5pm. She will also present "Astrological Projections for 2011", an hour-long discussion on January 15 at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Call 303-758-9113 to reserve your seat.

Marci is a practicing, certified astrological counselor, Reiki master teacher, spiritual advisor, and a certified life direction coach with a private practice in the Denver area.

A.D. AFTER DISCLOSURE: The Peoples Guide To Life After Contact

by Richard Dolan & Bryce Zabel

$24.95

 

After Disclosure

Thousands of books have been published, all debating whether UFOs are real or just figments of our imaginations.

This book is not one of them.


Over six decades into this quiet revolution, we can now see the outlines of a reality that has been sneaking up on us, one step at a time. The issue that was hushed up by one generation, then turned into an object of derision by another, now demands to be heard straight up in ours.

Since the first major wave of UFO sightings in 1947, the number of people who believe that UFOs are of extraterrestrial origin has steadily risen. Today a majority of Americans, as well as other global citizens, believe that this is so, and at least five percent claim to have seen a UFO.

The evidence that something strange has been happening is voluminous and convincing. All you have to do is look for it. Over the years, determined researchers have forced the release of once-classified reports prepared by the U.S. government and other nations. These accounts tell a story of contact through the eyes of thousands of professional witnesses - law enforcement, military pilots, and even astronauts. Most of the public now rejects the theory that all sightings can be explained away as weather balloons, swamp gas flares, ball lighting, or mass hallucination. Instead, people seem to have settled on one conclusion:

At least some UFOs appear to be intelligently controlled physical craft of some kind from some place that is not here.

Accepting that as our starting point is what makes A.D. After Disclosure different.
