“The Language of Lenormand: A Practical Guide for Everyday Divination” by Erika Robinson

🕵️🐷🕵️ zero-day🕵️🐷🕵️ "A much-needed guide to this increasingly popular divination system written by a Lenormand master and teacher. The Lenormand deck, consisting of 36 numbered and named cards, has been popular in Europe for centuries, and has now been embraced in North America by tarot enthusiasts, oracle readers, and others. Each card depicts an archetype — a fox, a snake, a coffin, or whip, for example — rather than tarot's somewhat more involved symbology. This makes the Lenormand system an easy entry point to divination. Respected Lenormand authority, Erika Robinson believes that Lenormand is not just a deck of cards, but is also a language that, if mastered, can help one achieve self-empowerment and the ability...>>

“The Miracle of Our Universe: A New View of Consciousness, God, Science, and Reality” by Bernard Haisch and Marsha Sims

“What Makes Humans Unique: Evolution and the Two Structures of Mind” by Michael Robbins

🕵️🐷🕵️ zero-day🕵️🐷🕵️ "Through an integrated multi-disciplinary theory, Michael Robbins proposes that the human mind consists of two mental structures: the one we share with other animate creatures and a capacity for reflective representational thought which is unique. As an alternative to Freud’s model of the human mind as structured by the id, ego, and superego, this book contends that the prolonged period of post-natal immaturity — otherwise known as neoteny — which is specific to humans, gives rise to reflective representational thought that in turn allows for the acquisition of complex knowledge. Robbins examines how Freud’s conception of the human mind was limited by his ignorance of the related disciplines of sociology, primatology, cultural anthropology, and...>>
