Book excerpt: In the year 2042, the first manned mission to Mars was nearing the Red Planet, and the world's energy and transport infrastructure had evolved; harnessing the power of lightning strikes and embracing new super-cell battery technology. The skies were no longer littered with aircraft; instead, hypersonic pods jettisoned passengers and cargo along pipelines on terra firma. The future was indeed rich with new solutions to global warming and unlocking renewable energy sources. Despite widespread development; there was, however, one invention that stood head and shoulders above the rest. Everybody dreamt; but not everyone could remember them after waking; and even for those who could; they would often forget. The Dream Watcher symbolised the greatest technological advance in the history of time and became the most sought after piece of equipment. This highly sophisticated system could not only interpret people's hallucinations during sleep, but could replicate them on screen, to be watched after they woke; a long-running futuristic TV boxset of their own unconscious creations. After losing his job at the bank, Jared Blake was having real difficulty finding work. One day; Troy Skeetman, eager to help his friend, notices an advert for a new tech company looking to recruit a number of participants to assist them with their research into dreams. However, after auditioning for Dreamex, Jared's life would never be the same again; transcending him into a world of unimaginable consequences, and catapulting him on a journey that would leave him questioning the very fabric of his and everyone else's existence.

Download or read book Pioneer written by Robert Zimmerman and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time is 2183. Fifty-six-year-old Saunders Maxwell is a stubborn old space-farer who has spent his entire life in space. He has captained the Moon-Mars shuttle and led exploration missions beyond Mars. When he came to Mars in his forties he helped discover the water source that made the first American Mars colony possible. Later he turned to asteroid mining, captaining a small ship and crew of about a half dozen on repeated trips to the asteroid belt, bringing back minerals or even small asteroids so that the Mars colony could harvest them for the needed resources. Having just returned from one such four year mission, he and his pilot Harry Nickerson are heading back to Mars when, as they fly over the vast slopes of the giant volcano Olympus Mons, Maxwell spots this strange glint below, a glint that is not natural and should not be there. When they land they discover something entirely unexpected and impossible, the body of man who had disappeared on a distant asteroid almost a half century before. Sanford Addiono had been on one of the first manned missions to the asteroid belt when he and a partner had vanished. Nothing was ever heard from them again. Even more baffling, two later missions to the asteroid from which they had been lost found that it was gone as well, no longer in orbit where it was supposed to be. Now, 46 years later, Maxwell finds Addiono's body on the surface of Mars. How Addiono had gotten to Mars from a distant now-lost asteroid orbiting beyond Mars--without a spaceship--was a riddle that almost defied an answer. That riddle was magnified exponentially by what Addiono had brought back with him. Among his effects was a six-fingered robot hand that had clearly been made by some alien civilization, along with a recorder and memo book describing what Addiono had seen. Here was a mystery that would rock humanity, the first alien contact. And at that moment Saunders Maxwell decides that he is going to be the person to solve that mystery, even if it takes him through hell and back. Unfortunately, that is exactly where that journey takes him. Not that it matters. Saunders Maxwell is a typical human, and for humanity, the journey itself is really all that matters. So now I stand on earthside shore, And wonder what I am. I must go out and find my home. The journey's what I am. Chorus: O Pioneer! O Pioneer! Where do you go from here? O Pioneer! O Pioneer! The stars are far too near. -A folksong of Mars and the Moon

Download or read book The Movie Watcher s Guide to Enlightenment written by David Hoffmeister and published by Living Miracles Publications. This book was released on 2014-02-16 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accelerate your Awakening – with the movies! In a radical departure from traditional spiritual cinema David Hoffmeister embraces Hollywood movies as modern day parables for awakening, thus turning the universal pastime of movie watching into a portal for a whole new perspective on Life. Step back, relax and laugh as you learn to see the Big Picture. Allow David and this book to be your gentle guide to a present experience of Enlightenment. “The temptation of linear time is the belief that things would be better if they were different. The problem with attempting to redo the past is that such attempts obscure the realization that the past is over and gone. Healing is seeing that all the scripts of the world are the same and therefore cannot be changed; this awareness is the forgiven world.” Excerpt from The Butterfly Effect review, pg. 28 "Since the dawn of time, myths, stories and parables have been used by spiritual teachers to reveal spiritual truths. Many popular movies speak not only to our desire for entertainment, but are also great tools to flush up and look at human emotions for healing. In The Movie Watcher's Guide to Enlightenment, David Hoffmeister uses movies as contemporary parables, making modern spirituality personal and relevant." -Darren Main - Yoga and the Path of the Urban Mystic
