Prelude To A Golden Age

Author: Lawrence John Brown

Prelude To A Golden Age presents, through a story about an android invasion of Earth, a philosophy ideally suited to the challenges of today. This philosophy, developed out of Jane Roberts' Seth material and Taoism, is based on two revolutionary and liberating ideas: God is in the world, and we create our experiences through our thoughts, beliefs, and expectations.

Author: Norma Casas

The Power of Us is a real-life journey through many times and spaces; past, present, and future. It tells the stories of the women of the sacred circle and how they reappeared in the life of one of their first apprentices, a woman who has forgotten their teachings, submerged in the illusions of the world. It invites women to embark on the pilgrimage of awakening, reclaiming their divine being, carving a new path of acceptance, self-love, and heart-centered service to the world.

The Hologram

Author: Jeff Behnke

I am a logically and emotionally neutral human being. If you were to talk to me, you would notice that it is hard to distinguish a charge one way or another. It doesn't seem as if I am negative at all, but it doesn't seem as if I'm all that positive, either. If I see a group of people being positive or negative, I have no desire to join them. I am not a killjoy, but I sure am not on anyone's invite list as being the life of the party. I would much rather sit behind a window, observing a party rather than being in the midst of it. I have spent my entire life diving into the depths of humanity wondering why this is, and most often come up empty. By reading newspapers, going to church on Sunday, and listening to people tell tales of their misery and success, I get the impression I have misunderstood some fundamental element of what it means to be human.

The Labyrinth of Comte du Piege

Author: Charles Coiro

A young, intelligent and sensitive young man inherits his father's title in France during the early 1800's. With a title and great wealth, his mother seeks a suitable young woman to be his bride; a woman who is equally wealthy and titled. A young woman of great beauty is chosen for him whose family agree to the match. While the young man is a serious, refined gentle man whose interests are in botany, the young woman has different ideas in which she wants to be socially prominent and not confined to plants and flowers.

Being a sensual young woman, she is attracted to a young boy, Zou Zou who works in their stable. He is wild and undisciplined, which makes him even more attractive to the girl. Their romance leads to her becoming pregnant before she marries the young Comte and the wedding is called off. The young Duquesa's mother dies and she is left with great wealth and property. She has the young stable boy move in with her and soon, because of his dominance over the young Duquesa, he carelessly gambles and spends the young girl's money until there is very little left of her fortune. Their young son, with the stable boy's background as a father, makes him unsuitable for any wealthy family as a son in law.

Zou Zou, always scheming talks the young Duquesa to talk to the Comte, the man she already jilted and cuckolded to have the Comte recommend him for a lucrative position. The Comte agrees to sponsor him but first, the young man must live with him so that the Comte can see if the young man has learned discipline and good values before recommending him for a position.

It has been 17 years since the breakup of the Comte and the now Duquesa. The Comte has been embittered for all these years and he has retired to his estate seeking only revenge. To protect himself from anybody, he has planted an enormous labyrinth to discourage anyone from visiting and has let it be known that in the center of the labyrinth, a great amount of money is buried. Like a spider setting a trap, the Comte hopes to ensnare Zou Zou. The story continues as the trap is set.

An Audience for Einstein

By Mark Wakely

Professor Percival Marlowe is a brilliant, elderly astrophysicist who's dying, his greatest achievement still unfinished and now beyond his diminished means. Doctor Carl Dorning, a neurosurgeon, finally discovers a secret method of transplanting memories from one person to another thanks to Marlowe's millions. Miguel Sanchez, a homeless boy, agrees to become the recipient of Marlowe's knowledge and personality in the unorthodox experiment, enticed by Dorning's promises of intelligence, wealth and respect but dangerously unaware that his own identity will be lost forever. What results is a seesaw battle for control of Miguel's body as Marlowe learns to his dismay what his lifetime of arrogance and conceit has earned him. And when Marlowe stumbles upon the shocking procedure Dorning used in desperation to succeed, the professor does what he must to defeat Dorning and redeem himself at last.

Wonder about the impact of your daily cup of coffee on the planet? Here’s the bitter truth

Coffee processing also uses significant amounts of fresh water to de-pulp and wash the beans before roasting. It takes 140 litres of water (around 37 gallons) to produce 125ml (or 4.2 oz) of coffee, according to the Water Footprint Network. That’s more than it takes to produce the same volume of wine, and nearly ten times as much as the same volume of tea.
