Now in paperback, this first oral history of the most nihilistic of all pop movements brings the sound of the punk generation chillingly to life with 50 new pages of depraved testimony.

THE SOURCE FAMILY SCRAPBOOK provides an intimate view into the world of California's most iconic utopian commune, The Source Family. This lavishly illustrated book will act as an immersive historical artifact, a facsimile of the original scrapbook assembled by family historian Isis Aquarian. Devoid of essays, the vivid life size scrapbook page reproductions are presented as they were originally assembled and laid on the page. Edited only for brevity and flow, these pages illuminate the group's private world in a way never before seen. Hundreds of unpublished photographs, newspaper clippings, letters, manifestos, and flyers comprise these richly textured pages, guiding the reader through the group's daily activities, secret rituals, triumphs, and eventual downfall. The book tells the Source Family story as it unfolded, from controversial leader Jim Baker/Father Yod's spiritual awakening under the tutelage of Yogi Bhajan and the founding of Baker's Source Restaurant to their meteoric rise, wild experimentation, and public and private provocations that led to the group's paradise lost in Hawaii. These collaged images and ephemera provide a visceral immersion into the complex and widely misunderstood phenomenon of communal and cultic groups of the 60s and 70s, at a time when hundreds of thousands of disaffected people across the country joined together to create their own visions of utopia.
Famous for his role as Latka Gravas on TV's Taxi, appearances on Saturday Night Live and his own variety show, legendary eccentric performer Andy Kaufman provoked a national outrage in 1977 by taunting the women of America on TV and challenging them to wrestle him live on television. Thousands of fired-up females (and a few males) responded to the call. Kaufman received a torrent of impassioned challenges, hate mail and love letters from would-be wrestling contenders - all exhibited in this fascinating and sometimes bizarre collection.
THE ORIGIN OF THIS MATERIAL At this point in our Human evolution, just about any thinking person knows where we're supposed to be in terms of achieving personal happiness and self-unity the problem is that most of us haven't known what to do to get there. The market is inundated with literally thousands of self-help books that detail in untold ways what the end result should be, but precious few of them provide the necessary TOOLS to guide us to such an end. Collectively, we know it's regressive to remain locked in self-defeating and self-destructive patterns; we know it's in our best interest to release the emotional scars and wounds of the past; we know it's counter-productive to blame our parents ad nauseam for the mistakes made in our up-bringing; and we know it's personally harmful to wander through our daily lives weighed down by stress, chaos, fear and anger but what we haven't collectively known is how to create real, lasting change in our lives. Each of us, it seems, is on some type of personal quest to find the Holy Grail the TOOLS for how to achieve joy and unity within ourselves and with the other inhabitants of this miraculous and abundant planet. To this end, the fundamental goal of this Workbook, and of the School that this work represents, is to empower each of us with the necessary tools and information to guide us to self-healing and, thus, to self-sovereignty. The Source Legacy Foundation and the School Of Universal Resonance & Creative Empowerment was founded by Shelley Oliver who, as an exceptionally clear and fully conscious representative of God, has been a facilitator of healing for over thirty-seven years. The body of information, practices, and techniques that Ms. Oliver received and developed in her private practice have been shared throughout the years with hundreds of individuals the world over. In the last decade, Ms. Oliver began working with a committed group of teachers and facilitators to expand one private practice into many. As the demand for their collective services grew, this group of teachers, ministers, counselors, and facilitators coalesced their practices to create the Source Legacy Foundation and the School Of Universal Resonance & Creative Empowerment (S.O.U.R.C.E.). The information contained in this Workbook began as a dialogue between Ms. Oliver and the School's President and Co-Founder, Ron Brown Grayson, in order that a permanent record of this material could be created, and so that a wider audience could benefit from the wisdom within these tools and practices. The Workbook has since become the basic course curriculum of the School and is the primary tool in the training of new teachers. Under the Foundation aegis, the School Of Universal Resonance & Creative Empowerment offers training and certification for teachers in the areas of Universal healing modalities, energetic release and balancing techniques, emotional and physical transformational processes, as well as Life Mastery classes that assist the individual in creating mindfulness, expanded consciousness, and greater awareness. The efficacy of this very practical and tool-based work has been proven time and time again through the successful experiences of those who have participated in these programs. This work has repeatedly helped create total self-healing for hundreds of people suffering from pathologies as divergent as cancer and leukemia, to manic depression and emotional trauma. Personal healing is only permanent when we take responsibility for it ourselves but it does not have to be a life-long, nail-biting process if we do not choose it to be. Everything is energy in motion, and everything has energetic substance to include our emotional baggage, thoughts, and behavioral patterns. As such, the patterns that we no longer want in our lives can be released if we know how to do it. When we relinq
