Being a better person can be a lot harder than it looks. It’s 1988, and former bully Astrid is forced to move from Queens to the small town of Elsewhere. Although this town is totally weird, Astrid sees the move as a way to reinvent herself. That is, until Candi—the teenage tyrant with supernatural powers who rules Elsewhere—decides she wants Astrid to be her new bestie. Having to choose between the perks and safety of being the Queen B’s best friend and the desire to be a better person could literally cost Astrid her life. As Astrid and her new friends begin to dig into the dark history of Elsewhere and the source of Candi’s powers, they form a dangerous plan to resist Candi’s compulsion and to escape Elsewhere, or else be doomed to live under Candi’s rule forever.

What is sensory imagining and what role does it play in our lives? How does visualizing a castle, running through a tune in one's head, or imagining the taste of fish ice cream relate to perceiving such things, or to remembering them? What are the connections between imagining and agency, and how does it relate to emotion and other affect? The Profile of Imagining offers a theory that answers these and many other questions. It argues that sensory imagining involves the redeployment of resources central to perception, though in a radically different context and to very different effect. The result is a view that explains central features of imagining's phenomenology and functional role, including its capacity to capture what it would be like to perceive its objects, while acknowledging the many and striking differences between imagining and sensing. Hopkins shows how the view can be extended to imagining in other forms, especially the imagining of affect; and uses it to argue for some surprising conclusions: that imagining something is not a way to engage with its aesthetic character; and that imagining provokes real feeling much less often than is usually assumed.

The imagination is where the Creator chooses to meet his creatures, says renowned theologian Garrett Green. The Word of God and the work of the Holy Spirit set the imagination free for genuine and creative knowledge of God, the world, others, and the self. Green explains that theology is best understood as human imagination faithfully conformed to the Bible as the paradigmatic key to the Christian gospel. He unpacks the implications of the imagination for a variety of theological issues, such as interpretation, aesthetics, eschatology, and the relationship between church and culture.

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THOSE WHO LOOK WITHIN... Discover: How to bridge the divide between "wanting something" and actually ACTING on your desire with effortless intensity What do you want out of life, and why don't you have it? Really, why don't you? Chances are, it's because you are your own greatest enemy. If most people in the world could just get out of their own way, they'd have everything they wanted and more. Our greatest limiting factors always come from within. They are solved and dissolved from within as well. And when those limiting factors are replaced with a limitless mindset? That's when you're really cooking with gasoline. The paradigm-shift begins with imagining things. As the great writer George Bernard Shaw once put it: "Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire; you will what you imagine; and at last you create what you will." As you'll soon learn from this book, that statement is much more literal-and dare I say, "mystical"-than the vast majority of people ever realize. That's why in You're Imagining Things, you'll be led down a fast-paced and amusing rabbit hole of supernatural discovery. Sparks will fly off the pages as you zig-zag back and forth between the esoteric and the obvious-all leading up to a thrilling revelation on the extrasensory wish-granting mechanism hidden deep within your subconscious mind. Mental imagery "magic" is the key to accessing that mechanism, and once you've realized the possibilities of this metaphysical "technology," things will never be the same. This book will redefine your ideas on desire, achievement, and reality at large. It will shatter your misconceptions of the impossible and leave you with a new outlook on life.

Carlos Castaneda burst onto the academic and cultural scene in 1968 when he published the first of four books detailing his supposed apprenticeship with a Yaqui Indian sorcerer named Don Juan. While academic critics contend Castaneda invented Don Juan, believers say the fog surrounding his existence express the very ideals that Castaneda attributed to his apprenticeship. Little is known of the Peruvian claiming to be Don Juan's apprentice, but in addition to leading a generation into a mystical otherworld, Carlos Castaneda was also a man. Married to him for thirteen years was Margaret Runyan Castaneda. A Magical Journey with Carlos Castaneda reads partly like a love story, partly like a tell-all account of a celebrity writer. Margaret Castaneda concentrates on the years leading up to her marriage in 1960. It was then Margaret and Carlos explored many of the ideas -- from controlling dreams to using hallucinogenic mushrooms -- that he claims to have learned from Don Juan. Nevertheless, Margaret Castenada believes her husband was indeed a sorcerer, and she still loves him. She insists Castaneda's academic critics miss the point. "I'm willing to accept Don Juan as a spiritual teacher, and it really doesn't matter if he's not real." But the role she claims -- in developing the ideas Carlos purports to be Don Juan's -- ought to be recognized, she says, so she wrote this book.
