<p>How do archives and other cultural institutions such as museums determine the boundaries of a particular community, and of their own institutional reach, in constructing effective strategies and methodologies for selecting and maintaining appropriate material evidence? This book offers guidance to which archivists, record managers and museums professionals can turn to when faced with such issues in their daily work. This edited collection explores the relationships between communities and the records they create at a practical and scholarly level. It focuses on the ways in which records reflect community identity and collective memory, and the implications of capturing, appraising and documenting them - with particular focus on the ways in which recent advances in technology can overcome traditional obstacles, as well as how technologies themselves offer possibilities of creating new virtual communities. It is split into three parts: Context and concepts; Case studies: community archives, community and non-traditional recordkeeping, record loss, destruction and recovery, and online communities; and, practical implications. This will appeal to practitioners, researchers, and academics in the archives and records community and beyond.</p>

<p>Dealing specifically with the Divine Names and Sefirot, this is a deeply mystical text in the Jewish tradition written in the 13th century by the lay preacher Avraham of Cologne. Once it happened that Avraham walked into the synagogue of Shelomoh ibn Adret's father. While he was on the western side of the synagogue, a voice was coming out at the opposite side. They asked it every kind of question, and the voice also known as the "voice of Elijah" answered.</p>

The air in the room grew suddenly cold and someone said the conditions were good for the spirits to contact us. We sat there with our hands held out, palms up, as this is supposed to be the source of the energy force that goes towards the medium. There was an air of expectancy. Suddenly the curtain around the medium opened and a strange face showed itself. I will never forget that face. It was very white and etheric-looking. It was certainly not the face of the medium. When I saw it I prayed in my heart, 'God, thank you for showing me life after death.' Little did I know that I had come face to face with a demon of the Prince of Darkness! Ben Alexander is a former spiritualist medium who came face to face with the demons of the Prince of Darkness. Only through the Word of God was Ben able to be rescued from a "fate worse than death". Ben now travels the globe warning about the evils of the spirit world by sharing his firsthand experiences with Satanic demons.
