DIVINING YOUR DREAMS is the first book to enlist the Kabbalah to provide this kind of insight into the most common dream symbols - and to provide practical, actionable, personally relevant steps to enable spiritual growth. Our dreams are calling us, urging us to embark on a spiritual quest towards our Higher Self - this book will help us find original, compelling ways to hear what our dreams are saying...and to do something about it. DIVINING YOUR DREAMS contains an extensive introduction, including an overview of the Kabbalah, how it works, how it is employed in the interpretation of dreams, and how the interpretations can bring energy and inspiration to the spiritual journey. There will also be an overview of the meaning and use of the Tree of Life, the Tarot, the 100 most important symbols from ZOHAR (the ancient text on which the Kabbalah is based), and a list of the numerical values and meanings of all the letters in the Hebrew alphabet. There are 1000 common dream images with interpretations, evaluations, and prescriptions for what to do based on what your dream is trying to tell you, whether that means solving a problem, ending a relationship, asking for forgiveness, or finding a new job.

Rising superpower China duly anointed a new generation of leaders led by Xi Jinping at the Communist Party's 18th National Congress held in November 2012. While the conclave itself passed off with smoothly choreographed efficiency, the months leading up to this once-a-decade transition were anything but orderly. Intense factional wrangling behind the scenes was accompanied by scandals very much in public view. In the most spectacular furore the political aspirations of Communist aristocrat Bo Xilai were dashed, at one time threatening to derail the meticulous stage managing of the congress itself.At the start of what turned out to be a tumultuous year, the South China Morning Post set out on an ambitious project to chronicle the transfer of power to the so-called fifth generation of Chinese leaders, delving behind the cloak of secrecy that routinely masks Beijing's corridors of power. The result was unparalleled coverage and a series of exclusives that kept the newspaper well ahead of its peers on this remarkable story.While the past decade saw China's supercharged economy accelerate past Japan to become the world's second-largest, the coming decade is expected to see China led by Xi and his team move towards catching up the United States as the world's top economic force. Who are the people that will guide China through its challenges at home and on the global stage? By profiling dozens of rising stars as well as current movers and shakers, the SCMP has provided the most complete portrait to date of the leaders who will control the world's most populous country over the next decade. This book aims to provide the reader with a comprehensive insight into the men, and the tiny handful of women, who are going to be charting that course.
