| St. George Reef Lighthouse | | 2008-04-28 22:35:00 | | About about eight miles northwest of Crescent City lies another lighthouse, St. George Reef. This one is a littler harder to get to since it is on a rocky Island out in the Pacific Ocean. The light was lit for the first time on October 20, 1892 and continued to shine until 1975 when it was abandoned. To view the St. George Reef Lighthouse from land, go north on the road that hugs the coast in Crescent City. When you arrive at the airport, turn left on Radio Road and follow it to the beach at its end. This is Point St. George, and the housing used for the keepers when they were ashore is adjacent to the parking area. The St. George Reef Lighthouse Preservation Society offers helicopter tours out to the lighthouse weather permitting. | | By: California Destination Guide | | |

| Pt. Fermin Lighthouse San Pedro | | 2008-02-14 15:53:00 | | Pt. Fermin Lighthouse was built in 1874 with lumber from California redwoods. The lighthouse was a one-keeper station until 1941 when all coastal lights were extinguished. The lens lantern and gallery were replaced by an lookout shack which remained for the next thirty years. The structure fell into disuse and disrepair until a new lantern and gallery were built by volunteers, restoring it to its original condition in 1974. Lighthouse Tours are held every Sunday afternoon from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. with the last tour beginning at 3:30 p.m. The lighthouse tour take you through the structure and you can see various displays and pictures about life at the lighthouse. The tour finishes up with a climb up the steep stairway to the light tower. If you decide to visit Pt. Fermin Lighthouse take a short drive up the hill to the Fort MacArthur Museum. S.

| Point Reyes Lighthouse | | 2007-12-13 23:53:00 | | About seventy miles north of San Francisco is the Point Reyes Lighthouse. There is a small visitors center with interesting information and facts about the 1870 lighthouse. A winding pathway leads down to the lighthouse from the visitors center. Warning signs advise you about the 300 steps you need to travel down to the lighthouse. Going down is not too bad but climbing back up is not for everyone. On a clear day you get breathtaking views of Farallon Islands and the Pacific Ocean below. This rugged section of California coast is part of the Point Reyes National Seashore covering approximately 71,000 acres. The lighthouse and surrounding area make a great day trip from the San Francisco area. View Larger Map | | By: California Destination Guide | | |

| on Spiritual Abuse | a valuable lighthouse for seekers of all traditions | | 2007-06-18 01:46:00 | | The Sufi Lighthouse: Illuminating Spiritual Abuse is unique in the history of Sufi literature, a very timely and valuable contribution for seekers of all traditions. No religious or mystical tradition is immune from the presence of spiritual abuse, for, wherever there are people who are seeking to become closer to essential truths, purpose, and meaning, there will be individuals seeking to generate counterfeit currency to offer to those who are unaware of, or incautious toward, the dangers which lie in wait along the spiritual path. Spiritual abuse assumes many different forms.Spiritual abuse may occur in neighborhood churches, mosques, temples, centers, and other places of religious/spiritual gathering. This problem also may take place in much more exotic and/or remote settings.Some instances of spiritual abuse may involve gullible individuals who are induced to become committed to a ‘guide’ or teacher who, when examined even superficially in an impartial manner, may exhibit many | | By: Inspirations and Creative Thoughts | | |
