    Summary:

    Imaginez-vous être au 17e siècle, vous venez de quitter votre pays natal, votre famille et vos amis pour vous aventurer dans un périlleux voyage en direction d'un nouveau continent, où les terres sont inconnues, sauvages et hostiles, dans le but de vous construire une nouvelle vie. C'est ce qu'on fait les premiers colons français venus en Nouvelle-France pour se donner une vie meilleure. De simples gens, hommes et femmes, courageux et volontaires, habités par l'énergie que procure la pensée «TESCUÉRIT» où la tête, le cœur et l'esprit ne font qu'un pour mieux progresser dans la réalisation de leur grande ambition, celle de vivre une vie prospère, heureuse et en paix. L'aspiration et la passion de leur rêve seront transmises à leurs descendants pour marquer l'histoire du peuple québécois à travers leur langue maternelle, leur culture et leurs valeurs. Dans un premier temps, ce livre relate, à travers le temps et l'histoire, les fondements qui ont amené des gens visionnaires, portés par un but commun, à donner naissance à un peuple distinct, celui de la Nation québécoise. Dans un deuxième temps, il vous invite à découvrir le peuple québécois à travers les saisons dans ses loisirs, ses créations, sa culture, ses valeurs, sa diversité et dans la beauté de ses différentes régions dont la langue française a de belles et ravissantes nuances colorées.

    Summary:

    Terrors of the Night is a collection of more than 100 accounts of eerie events and weird experiences that have been recorded by Canadians over the last 400 years. These incredible accounts come from all parts of the country and concern witchcraft, peculiar weather conditions, wild beasts, hardly human creatures, omens, prophecies, powers beyond ours, miraculous cures, and bizarre behaviour generally. The narratives, often in the words of witnesses themselves, are taken from the columns of old newspapers, journals, and correspondence. It is an engrossing and unsettling experience to read these stories because the reader keeps asking the question, "Could such things happen?"

    Chopra, Deepak
    Summary:

    At every age we all need to know what life is really all about. Not just on the surface, but deep down. Teenagers are no exception. They deserve a spiritual life all their own. One that offers the kind of comfort we hope to give our children, but is different at the same time. More full of ideas. More mature. More fitting for the whole wide future that lies ahead. That's what Deepak Chopra has tried to do in this book, as fully and as honestly as possible.

    Anton, Bernard
    Summary:

    Basées sur des faits réels et peignant des archétypes humains fascinants, ces nouvelles décrivent l'univers intimiste de personnages qui se débattent avec les ennuis et surprises de chaque jour. Leur courage de vivre ou de survivre séduit, nonobstant les événements contrariants, et nous rappelle à nous-mêmes. Avec un souci du détail et une plume légère, fluide, ces pages interrogent différentes facettes de notre société. Elles révèlent qu'une part de lumière investit le quotidien et l'empêche de s'enliser dans le noir, en dépit de l'omniprésence de la mort et de la racine du mal difficile à arracher. Tant que Vie, personnage à la fois Impérieux et fragile, nous habite, elle nous propulse vers des expériences et des horizons parfois palpitants, où se côtoient réel et merveilleux, ordinaire et inattendu, plaisir et déplaisir, amour et aversion. Le réalisme poétique et la dose optimale d'humanité de ces épisodes de vie saisissent les mouvements subtils des labyrinthes de l'âme, la dimension transcendante, souvent cachée, qui conduit à l'éveil.

    Pitzalis, Chrystèle
    Summary:

    Le temps, frontière mystérieuse, appelle maintenant le disciple en quête d’éveil véritable à prendre conscience d’une nouvelle réalité qui lui est maintenant accessible. En effet, le temps se révèle ici en tant que conscience à l’œuvre permettant une cohésion interdimensionnelle. Le temps présente des portails ou sas donnant accès à nos différentes vies de différentes époques. Par un travail approprié sur soi, le temps devient ainsi un allié permettant l’échange de compétences entre nos vies, et ce, non seulement afin de nous assister dans notre éveil actuel, mais aussi dans un cadre évolutif beaucoup plus large où notre âme directrice rappelle à elle ses extensions projetées en diverses époques et sphères de vie − clôturant ainsi un vaste cycle universel. Fascinant. Afin de mieux saisir la portée de cet enseignement et de le rendre pratique, l’auteure a reçu le témoignage de quatre grandes initiées de la Grèce et de l'Égypte ancienne, de l’Atlantide et de la Lémurie. Dans ce deuxième tome, où l’histoire se situe en Égypte prédynastique, nous rencontrons Sôthis, qui, à la suite d’une expérience mystique inattendue aux côtés du grand prêtre Minnakhat, intègre le temple de Naqada. Elle y suit des enseignements et des initiations qui demeurent aujourd’hui très pertinents pour notre évolution actuelle. En partageant sa réalité temporelle et ses expériences spirituelles, Sôthis nous convie à aborder le Temps comme un être avec lequel collaborer et ainsi prendre une part active aux ascensions planétaire et humaine actuelles.
