Veil of consciousness

Lifting the veil of consciousness is channeled and written by laurel is an exciting exploration of the expansion of human consciousness.

It is about lifting the veil that was necessary for ss to wear in order to experience the human realm, but that we are now ready to remove. It is time.

“The book is both channeled and written, the information coming from higher beings and from my own life experiences. Here you will find science and spirituality presented side-by-side showing how each, in its way, is contributing to the transformation and the enlightenment.

There are revelations that astound, guided teachings that explain, reprimands that humble and expansion techniques that help you to develop. The scientific universe and the spiritual universal consciousness are shown, not at odds but connected, harmonious and inseparable, as our awareness grows with an expanding consciousness.

The limits of the human being are challenged as we reach out from the known into the unknown; stretching human awareness into invisible realms and back to the purest form of consciousness.”

This book will help light your way.

Poussin painting in Paris

“The Ordination”, a major work by the 17th-century French master Nicolas Poussin, went on display this week in Paris ahead of its sale at auction in London next month.

Painted in around 1630 as part of a Poussin series on the Seven Sacraments, the work is being put on display until Wednesday by Christie’s auction house which is organising the December 7 sale.

“The Ordination”, which represents Christ handing Saint Peter the keys to the Church in presence of the other apostles, is estimated to be worth between 15 and 20 million pounds (18-24 million euros / 24-32 million dollars), according to the auctioneers.

Poussin painted his first cycle on the Seven Sacraments in Rome at the request of a major collector, Cassiono dal Pozzo. The seven works in the series were bought discreetly 150 years later, in 1785, by the Fourth Duke of Rutland. AFP

Most of the books focused on this topic had been written in English. It will be useful for those learning the subject to have some books written in Sinhala and Tamil. This is one of the main aims behind Kumara’s attempt.

Disaster management is now included in the school syllabus. It is also taught as a diploma course at the Colombo, Peradeniya and Kelaniya universities. No doubt Sri Lankave Apada Kalamanakaranaya will come in handy for the students.

Yvan and Elie are two loners who wander aimlessly through their lives. Yvan is a quick-tempered 40-year-old vintage car dealer while Elie is a young burglar and ex-junkie. One day Yvan catches Elie trying to rob him. Instead of beating him up, he becomes strangely attached to him and agrees to drive him home to his parents in his old Chevrolet.

Yvan and Elie are both nostalgic about lost relationships, which is what leads them to undertake a bizarre journey through a region that is as spectacular as it is crazy.

Both are trying to find the pieces of a puzzle that they want to put back together, but it might be too late.
