![]() Dass says things that might alienate or scare off a person who didn’t live through the Sixties, or who is anti-drug, or if your upbringing was far from ‘hippie.’ Take this for example: Written in the early 70’s, it begins with some background about Dass himself: how he was a professor at Harvard, and his work at the forefront of the 60’s LSD research and experimentation movement. In case you haven’t read it, Be Here Now is a pretty ‘far out’ book. So it sat on a shelf alongside all my other books, and every once in a while I’d catch the title out of the corner of my eye and feel guilty for never reading it. I loved the artistic presentation and illustrations, but every time I tried to read it, I had no idea what it was talking about. ![]() ![]() I watched the movie many, many times, but when it came to reading Be Here Now, it was so over my head. When I was in my early 20’s I received a copy of Ram Dass’ Be Here Now from a friend, along with a copy of the movie Harold & Maude. ![]()

![]() ![]() Plot: When the sacred Solomon Grimoire - the most powerful book for djinnkind - goes missing, Philippa and John are looped into trying to find it before someone can do permanent damage with it. I always like it when I'm surprised by the villain's identity. One of the villains was quite obvious from the beginning, while the other took me somewhat by surprise, which was nice. Nimrod is still an awesomely amusing uncle, and the villains of the piece are not so much wicked as they are just determined to get what they want. ![]() They have a great twin-sibling relationship, teasing each other and fighting sometimes like real siblings, but they're not always constantly at one another's throats, which gets annoying with some sibling pairings.

Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality.Īlthough Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades. ![]() His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Christianity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: life is incomprehensible to human minds and the universe is fundamentally alien. Howard Phillips Lovecraft, of Providence, Rhode Island, was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Protocolo clínico para inducción del trabajo de parto: propuesta de consenso.

I am struggling with how to share my excitement about this collection of poems.
