It is time for kindness to blossom in each individual so that it can flourish in the world. It all starts with you.

If you focus on what is wrong with everything, you manifest more of that which you do not want. Focusing on Hope, Peace, and Inspiration of the Light of Wisdom and Love Energy, you will manifest peaceful and life-affirming solutions to everything.

You are an aspect of this Energy by virtue of your Spirit/Soul, which is the Breath of God animating you and every other person in every country on Earth.

This all starts with you, not the other guy.

2024 INTERNATIONAL IMPACT BOOK AWARDS WINNER for SOCIAL CHANGE ~ Includes the entire 3-book series!

IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS ~ UNIVERSAL WISDOM

SECOND PRINTING ~ NOW RELEASED!

BARNES & NOBLE Overview: “In Their Image and Likeness (Second Edition) by Linda Hourihan is a powerful spiritual guide that uncovers truths hidden for centuries by religious, political, and social systems. Drawing from scripture, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nag Hammadi texts, and personal experiences, Hourihan reveals how humanity was created with both divine light and free will—and how that knowledge has been distorted for control.

“This thought-provoking book explores cult indoctrinations, angels and fallen angels, reincarnation, sacred knowledge of the cosmos, and the universal laws of nature. It also shines light on the often-overlooked years of Jesus Christ’s life, highlighting his true teaching that the Kingdom of God lives within us.

“Written with clarity and passion, In Their Image and Likeness invites readers to reclaim their spiritual freedom, recognize their inner divine spark, and embrace the Eternal Universal Life Force Energy—what the author calls the Limitless Living Light.

“For seekers of spiritual truth, students of esoteric wisdom, and anyone questioning traditional religious paradigms, this book offers knowledge, empowerment, and hope for personal and planetary transformation.”

On the back cover of this book:

“Get ready to take a deep drive. Metaphysician Lin Hourihan offers a multifaceted perspective on who we are at the core of our being. Challenging preconceptions and lending insight on how to maximize our experience here on planet earth.” Tracey Lockwood, The Medium’s Medium

“Now is the time for courage. Courage does not mean having no fear. Rather, courage is feeling fear, but peacefully doing the right thing, the moral thing, with integrity, despite the presence of fear. …” quote from this book.

MYSTERY OF THE STURBRIDGE KEYS, subtitled Christmas Unlocked. This book goes back in time to the days of Old Sturbridge Village (1830’s), starting at the Christmas by Candlelight celebration in real time, back to the days of the Underground Railroad, Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin, and back further to the days of Noah and the Nephilim, and to the days of the birth of Jesus.

Inside quote by Plutarch: “To be ignorant of the lives of the most celebrated men of antiquity is to continue in a state of childhood all our days.”

THE VIRTUE OF VIRTUES is a seven-lesson morality curriculum, teaching children in grades five through eight how to deal with social situations that call for them to practice faith, hope, and love in their decision-making process.

This book is appropriate for all children and Bible reading parents. Each lesson uses the reporter questions of WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHY, WHERE, and HOW to process difficult situations they often find themselves in. This has been taught in CCD programs once a month for the first seven months of the school year, and in other years, for the first seven weeks of the CCD school year. It is also a wonderful addition to home schooling children in their own homes. This can be done in one lesson a night for one week or spread out as the family sees fit.

I taught The Virtue of Virtues in CCD classes as part of the 6th grade Catholic curriculums. However, The Virtue of Virtues is perfect for grades five through eight. It was first published in 1999.

I am a Metaphysician, former Reiki Master Teacher, 13th in line to Dr. Mikao Usui, who only re-discovered the Usui Reiki System of healing, and is not the founder of it. I only mention this because Reiki is so well known. However, what he discovered in the 1800s is only the tip of the iceberg, originally given to us by Germain, currently working with the NPMDT™ system of healing. There are myriad other energy systems of holistic healing that currently exist, because now is the time for energy workers everywhere to share their knowledge and gifts with humanity, Earth, and cosmos however they can.

Although I am a certified Reiki Master Teacher since 2005, I choose to work with the more expansive energies of New Paradigm Multi-Dimensional Transformation™.

I am a 2005 graduate of the American Institute of Holistic Health & Wellness, studying under the late Dr. Dolores Seymour. I am Board Certified by the National Accreditation and Certification Board.

The American Institute of Holistic Health & Wellness is accredited by the American Association of Drugless Professionals, and the National Accreditation and Certification Board. This is a lifetime and international certification. I have studied extensively in the fields of holistic health in mind, body and spirit which naturally includes counseling on all life issues, and bodywork.

There are drugless therapies that work very well most of the time when applied, and have no chemical side effects, obviously, except when they are not followed.

I am trained in Mind Inspired New Dynamics System, also known as M.I.N.D.S. Holistic Alternative Psychology has an emphasis on methods, individualized plans of action, fostering the ability of the individual to reach his or her highest potential physically, emotionally and spiritually; with advanced perspectives of positive personal growth, changing attitudes from negative to positive; enhancing intuition and self-discovery through creative endeavors, and improving health as impacted by psychological states.

I work with M.I.N.D.S. Wellness & Body/Mind Consciousness, which features positive self-analysis/awareness, self-control development programs, conditioning the healing mind, controlling mood swings, anxiety, avoiding depression and raising self-esteem to its highest level.

M.I.N.D.S. Meta-Psychology is person centered rather than technically oriented, and focuses on psychological health, consciousness, human possibilities, and challenges of body, mind and spiritual development. A person cannot heal in any program void of attention to their own spiritual development. As a matter of fact, many mental and physical ailments can be discovered when spiritual sickness is at the root of the problem.

This blog addresses mental health, physical health and spiritual health. Spirituality touches all aspects of life including but not limited to religious, spiritual, educational, social, political, financial, etc. This blog addresses all aspects of life. What we believe touches it all.

I am a former member of the Branford Hall Career Institute Advisory Board; and former owner of The Massage Clinic, LLC which had four offices in Connecticut, and more than 8,000 appointments helping everyone to achieve balance and health in mind, body and spirit. I personally held 5,000 of these appointments, making lifelong friends in the process.

I am a graduate of Taliloquay School of Energy Remedies, taught by Phyllis Brooks. This program teaches the development of flower essences and what they can do for you through holistic therapy. Western medicine mimics the powerfully healing energies of flower essences, a sign of the future built upon the successful therapy of what worked in the past. The energies of flower essences were also discovered by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s, now famous for 38 remedies. I have found the flower essences of Phyllis to be extremely helpful for stress, anxiety, worry, depression, and grief, as well as many maladies which have physical manifestations. Flower essences are nature’s most pure form of energetic healing frequencies. https://www.taliloquay.com.

I am an international, ordained, interfaith Universal Life Church (ULC) Minister, with a compassionate understanding of all faiths. I know what they know, and what was left out of their education. I continue taking extra courses in the ULC Seminary to better understand humanity in my worldwide ministry.

I do not believe in religious censorship, burying books and share truth hidden in the scrolls of sacred scriptures found and preserved in the caves at Nag Hammadi, Egypt, as well as in a cave in Qumran. Please know there is much more than you have been told. I will share what I have discovered here with you. Ignorance is not bliss.

I share my research on the scriptures found at Nag Hammadi, the Books of Enoch, and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Everyone is welcome.

In this blog, I also discuss the Sacred Scriptures found that Jesus spent his missing years, from ages 13-30 in India and the Himalaya Mountain region. The Books of Enoch predate Genesis. Jesus not only studied the Books of Enoch and respected them enough to refer to them over 100 times in the New Testament.

This blog is my legacy, a healing gift to the world in need of hope, kindness, empathy, compassion, encouragement, truth, forgiveness, faith, and love.
