Welcome to Rainbow Ridge Books, LLC. We’re a new company, with our first release of three titles published in the fall of 2010.  We are distributed to the trade by Square One Publishers, of Garden City, New York.

Our goal is to challenge old paradigms, present some new ones, and perhaps enlighten the minds and move the hearts of many as we continue to live our common adventure as human beings. Our mission is to look into how the universe really works, discover who we really are, and what our purpose on earth is. It’s a spiritual quest within a physical universe. But the undivided connection is there, always has been, and our mission is to demonstrate it.

These are not the best of times for the planet Earth. In this 21st century, we still can’t seem to shake the old demons of war, starvation and poverty, religious conflicts, genocide, bigotry, and hate; and some newer ones such as increasingly destructive climate change, nuclear proliferation,  terrorism, and environmental degradation. No one has all the solutions, but with this new list, we are offering a few from some well-known teachers: Jesus, the Devil, and the ancient Egyptian Goddess Hathor. Here are three books which bring some fascinating perspectives to modern questions and dilemmas.

You may find it strange that many of the messages are similar. After all, we have known them from every master teacher and enlightened mind who has ever given us the benefit of their wisdom. But in Conversations with God, Neale Donald Walsch’s co-author points out that it’s not so much who talks, but who listens.

We promise that you will find these messengers and messages a bit different than what you might have been taught. We promise you will find it challenging and entertaining . . . and never boring. The gentle and surprising Jesus, the strident and quick-witted Devil, and the kind, nurturing Divine Mother: We hope they speak to you.

Frank DeMarco, author of The Cosmic Internet, appeared on May 31st (actually the wee hours of June 1st in the East) on Coast to Coast with George Noory. You can check it out on their website, www.coasttocoastam.com, or listen to the whole show at YouTube. Here's what Coast to Coast wrote on its web page:

Date: 05-31-11
Host: George Noory
Guests: Frank DeMarco, Whitley Strieber

Former chief editor at Hampton Roads Books, Frank DeMarco discussed tapping into the forces of the "Cosmic Internet," and how the information found there can be used to regain a sense of meaning and focus in life. He referred to his communications with the Cosmic Internet or the Other Side, as being with deceased or non-physical beings whom he called "the guys' upstairs." Entering into a slightly altered state, he takes notes in journal form about his conversations with the Other Side. The information he receives requires discernment, as just because it comes from a disembodied source doesn't mean it's entirely accurate, he noted.

According to "the guys' upstairs" the Earth is a "special place where you can create your own mind or soul...You are here to choose, and choose, and choose, and in so doing you create the mind that will then go over to the Other Side...when we die." So in a sense our whole lives are preparation for the existence we're going to lead afterward, he explained.

He shared several techniques for living more connected with the Cosmic Internet. These included practicing love everyday, especially for less loveable objects; changing one's point of view to understand where others are coming from (helps to lessen the identity of the self as being different from others); and reprogramming thoughts that may have become engrained from childhood but no longer serve a useful purpose.

Books can be ordered at Amazon, and will be available for shipping in mid-June.
