Описание:

One of the largest casino-entertainment venues in Macao is called City of Dreams. True to its name, it is a city unto itself, devoted entirely to pleasure, consumption and luxury living. The massive campus includes luxury residences and high-end retail stores, restaurants, spas, extravagant performance venues and, of course, gaming facilities. The City of Dreams is an enclosed city with its own interior boulevards and its own theater district, called Soho. It even has its own blue-chip architecture, the Morpheus, a luxury hotel designed by the late Dame Zaha Hadid, DBE, using the worlds most advanced and innovative building technology.

This is a study of the nature of casino cities through Macaos stories. The author examines how the development of the city into a world gambling and entertainment capital affects the daily lives of the citys residents. The literary or filmic narratives of Macao capture how it feels to be citizens of these cities, the emotional responses, and thoughts of those who living within the conditions of these dreamworlds. But importantly, they also reveal the kinds of imagination and creativity of those living there and their strategies of taking hold of the narrative of the city for themselves, against the dominant state discourse.

The writings discussed in this volume are all published after the liberalization of the gambling industry in Macao in 2002, when the city embarked on an accelerated and dramatic transformation. The contemporary literary scene in Macao is lively and diverse, impressive given how small the population the population is (a little over 600,000) vis- -vis an all-encompassing casino industry and the tens of millions of tourists it brings to the city every year. The author discusses works from fiction writers who live and work primarily in Macao, as well as refer to the works of essayists and social commentators who regularly publish in the local print media. Also included are writers who might not have a resident card but have strong personal or historic ties to the city, either through a career opportunity that brought them there, family history, or having grown up there. The author uses their works to study the effect of contemporary Macao on the global imagination, especially under the current regime of global circulation of capital and people.

Through these works, the author presents another way of understanding Macao, beyond the official measures of GDPs and economics. The author captures the often-inarticulate sentiments and aspirations of the common people, in order to challenge and change the direction, discursive as well as political, of the society. In so doing, the author overlays the official ideology of this kind of casino city that Macao represents with a complex network of the experiences and stories of those who live in it, under its specific economic and social compulsions. In each chapter of Dreamworld of Casino Capitalism, the author examines particular works that illustrate a different experiential and emotional phenomenon of life in this city.

Описание:

This book is about my work in the Akashic Records- an energetic record of the experiences of all souls on Earth throughout time.

The key messages of The Magic of the Akashic Records are

  • when we are challenged on a human level, on a soul level all is perfect.
  • we can use the energy of the Akashic Records to help us in our daily lives.

This understanding has the potential to end human suffering.

Interwoven with my story and the real human and soul stories of others is information about life purpose and lessons, soul contracts and the higher reasons for difficult relationships and the challenges we face. I write about the healing potential of the Records and how we can use them to reclaim and reconnect with our talents, attributes and wisdom from past lives.

Through my work in the Akashic Records I have transformed my life and am helping hundreds of others to do the same.

The energy of the Akashic Records is of a high vibration. It is healing and uplifting. The Records are a place where magic and miracles happen. They have cast a spell on me and are too good a secret to keep to myself

The Magic of the Akashic Records includes:

  • how a family crisis led me to the Records.
  • information from the Akashic Records that reveals the perfection of our soul's plan.
  • startling information and true stories about the healing potential of the Akashic Records.
  • ways ordinary people can use the Akashic Records to help themselves reach their potential.

From Tragic to Magic

Seven years ago my (then) 18 year old daughter developed a serious mental condition. She was on a mission of self destruction, with repeated self harming episodes and suicide attempts. A devoted and loving mother of three children, I was heartbroken. I had been on a spiritual journey and developing and teaching a conscious parenting course since the late 1990s. It was a positive course designed to raise the self-esteem of parents and children. For years I had lived and breathed these techniques but now my own child hated herself so much that she wanted to die. I needed answers. On a human level what happened just didn't make sense.

I have always been drawn to the Akashic Records. I knew if I could access these I might be able to understand the higher reason for this experience. I found a way, experimented in my own Record and got answers that resonated. I started giving readings to friends. The feedback was encouraging. Word spread, people asked me for readings and now giving soul information and writing and teaching others how to help themselves through their Akashic Record is my full time job. This work is a gift. I work with people all over the world helping to transform their lives. I see their highest potential and purpose and reflect this back. Every time I open someone's Record and am in their energy I am healing myself as well. My life has changed for the better. I have gone from 'tragic to magic' since I discovered 'the Records.' Anything is possible when working in this sacred space. I feel compelled to share my journey and the wisdom of the Akashic Records with the world.
