Symbols unveiled: Masterful symbology that will transform your life (and the world).
Have you ever asked, "What is life about? Why am I here? Do I have a purpose? Is there a purpose?" Reading this book has the greatest potential to change your perceptions forever. This powerful guidebook is meant to be used daily and in the easiest way - at a glance! Each symbol transmits information that speaks to your conscious and subconscious minds energetically informing your behavior, perceptions, and how you live your life going forward. The book embraces the belief that ordinary truth can be extraordinarily lived.
Symbol Odyssey: Guidebook to the 108 Uncompromising Principles of Wisdom and Truth encourages the reader to interact with archetypal symbols that speak to the unconscious and conscious mind. This visually stimulating book has paired ancient to modern, and even newly created, symbols to each of the 108 undeviating universal principles of wisdom and truth.
In the book's layout, every one of the 108 laws is briefly and well-defined. Each law has a carefully selected symbol that carries within a vital force that visually represents the truth and wisdom of the law. Peppered throughout the book are profound, philosophical, meaningful, and witty quotes to further enhance the meaning of each symbol.
For example, take a moment and imagine reflecting on the Seal of Shamash symbol, which is paired with the Law of Delegation. Embedded in this symbol is the knowledge that Source assigned mankind stewardship of the heavens and earth to reflect back the wonders of creation. All souls are asked to act collectively in sacred trust to wisely manage and preserve a sustainable earth community and to care for all of creation.
Indeed, this belief is affirmed by Einstein, who said, “A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
The underlying goal of the book is that its readers continuously use the book as a resource leading to individual and collective soul triumphs as each of the 108 uncompromising principles of wisdom and truth are embraced and lived.

Symbol Odyssey: Guidebook to the 108 Uncompromising Principles of Wisdom and Truth
By Barbara David-Thompson and Joshua J. Mark
At first I thought I was going to read a book filled with ancient artifact photos; talismans, necklaces, Stonehenge, the pyramids. But upon opening this intriguing little book I found something else entirely; these are not just any old symbols. These selected symbols are the ones that connect us emotionally. These are the symbols of the things that make us human; that heal us. They can guide us in troubling times, and boy are we in some troubling times now.
What’s surprising in this day and age is the realization that your hippie grandparents and millenials did not invent higher consciousness; it’s been around for thousands of years.
Here’s an example; CYCLES. On this page we learn that to everything there is a season to be born, to create, to release, and recede. And the Egyptian Goddess Hathor’s crown of a 3 moons linked (waxing, full, waning) represent the life cycles of birth to maturity to death and then to rebirth. With each stage of life the groundwork is laid for the next. Finally, this quote by Rumi;
“I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God.”
The book is really, (to paraphrase the author) a way into your subconscious, and a tool to bring lower energies to higher expression, and through that reaching a higher level of goodwill between us. I enjoy consulting this slim, clever volume of symbols for daily wisdom and to connect to others, and get outside of myself.
I recommend it whole-heartedly.

Being a person that is focused on my own journey to achieving wholeness and ultimate health through enhancing my spiritual/metaphysical knowledge, this book piqued my curiosity and did not disappoint. Barbara B Davis Thompson's work within this book offers priceless knowledge to those willing to open themselves to the principles described within the book.
Overall, the book presents penetrating information which gives readers a lucid, and thoroughly organized approach to stimulating ones-self subconsciously by simply looking at the symbols while delving into the penetrating meanings of the attached principles for each symbol. The included symbols imparts wisdom on a vast variety of elements including; abundance, acceptance ascension, healing, change and many more each is equally as important as it is essential to a fulfilled and balanced life.
Author Thompson artfully uses inspiring quotes which bear absolute relevance to the symbols as well as adeptly employing an encouraging tone to her writing which engages, inspires and motivates.
Altogether, this was an absorbing read, that I found both edifying and stimulating on deeply spiritual levels. Moreover, there were many “Aha” moments fraught with instances of absolute resonance and enlightenment that made this read profoundly worthwhile. I definitively recommend this read for those seeking to expand their spiritual awareness.

A guide and challenge to Christians who want to live a life of true discipleship. It explains why worship is fundamental and how a life of true worship transforms one to Christ-likeness.
The world calls us to improve and promote ourselves. Is this
Our culture has taught us to believe in many ideas which aren't actually real. Exposing these illusions allows us to recover the power to live our lives according to our deepest desires.
