![]() ![]() ![]() Have you seen your own neighborhood change? This book is an exploration of how maddening it can be to discover injustice and feel that no one will believe you - or if they do believe you, they won't care, which is the reality of Black people and most marginalized groups in America. It's only from the hard work of people fighting against the forces of greed and white supremacy that was laid into the foundation of America. As I researched, it became apparent to me that if the arc of the moral universe does bend toward justice, that isn't its natural inclination. Alyssa Cole: When No One Is Watching is inspired by the real-life gentrification I witnessed over a lifetime in NYC and New Jersey, and also by the extensive historical research I've done over the last decade - first for personal reasons and then for my historical romances, which are set in eras ranging from the Battle of Brooklyn to the Freedom Rides. ![]()

Now imagine our physical body with its corresponding spiritual template. I think that our Perceptions are emitted via the same route, as such our Perceptions also appear as a tunnel because they ‘leave’ via the chakras. The Ida and Pingala energy channels that one experiences in a kundalini experience all link up with these energy centres, as such we have spiritually a sort of communications network of energy around which we can traverse and eventually go ‘out of body’. As you can see from the diagram above we can go ‘down’ figuratively speaking and ‘up’. When we go out of body it is usually through these chakras and as a consequence we appear to be going through a tunnel or whirlpool or other similarly moving energy vortex. The chakras seen in many hallucinations are whirlpool like spinning whirling energy. Our spiritual body – energy body – has a large number of chakras, which are the receivers and also it appears the emitters of energy. Where one is inside what appears to be a snake, one is in a tunnel, snakes from the outside have a different symbolism. In effect, when we see any form of tunnel, mine shaft, lift shaft, pipe, sewer, well, corridor or tunnel like opening we are seeing and traversing the spiritual communications network! ![]() A tunnel is a communications channel within the spiritual world. ![]() ![]() ![]() Board book (Spanish) (September 3rd, 2019): $7. ![]() ![]() She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America.
