Book excerpt: Chris was content with his suburban life, the college sweetheart he married, the work friends he socialized with. Everything seemed to be going to plan until Chris found the jogger comatose on the grass. When his wife, Stase, collapsed in a heap, two smiling men gathered her up and took her away. Stase returned changed somehow, given to bouts of anger she'd never expressed before. Now Chris has a new purpose: find out what's been done to his wife, and who the smiling men are. But these are secrets that don't want to be found, and they'll go to great lengths to stay hidden.

Book excerpt: A detective discovers bodies without brains—and wonders if he’s losing his mind—in this tale of nightmarish terror. What do you tell yourself when impossible things begin to happen? What can you say? You’re a police detective, but maybe you’re just not good enough and that’s what you have to admit, whether you like it or not. You see evidence of things that can’t be real, but you just don’t observe well enough to explain it in any natural way. Can you ask rational questions and still be crazy? Does it help any that you know your mind is gone? You’re trapped in a black comedy with a beautiful but fatal woman right out of an old poem by Keats, hoping to wake up from the nightmare, even if on a cold hillside—as long as you wake up sane. Detective William Benek is faced with an impossible crime: bodies are turning up without their brains and without any indication of how the organs were removed. His only lead—an attractive woman—becomes more than a lead, and then drives him into a world of terror, where his sanity is questioned and he must stop a monster he can barely comprehend. Listed as a Best Book of 2009 by Edge Boston.

Download or read book Charity empties her purse with an invisible hand written by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and published by Philaletheians UK. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wrong and unjust are those who think that it is selfishness that erects a Chinese wall between the custodians of the Secrets of Nature and the common man, without making any distinction between the curious profane, and the ardent seeker of Truth. On the contrary, the silence of those who damned themselves forever in order to save man from himself, is prompted by a far-seeing universal philanthropy. Good works may exist without actuating saving Principles, but saving Principles never did exist without good works. The Churches have failed to supply the intellectual light, and the true wisdom which are needed to make practical philanthropy carried out, by the true and earnest followers of Christ, a reality. Practical charity is not one of the declared objects of the Theosophical Society. Yet Theosophy creates the charity which afterwards, and of its own accord, makes itself manifest in good works. Theosophy proclaims the spirit of non-separateness, exposes the futility of creeds and dogma, and inculcates universal love and charity for all mankind. Theosophy is therefore pre-eminently fit to alleviate the woes and sufferings of man since he began cherishing in his bosom the desire of a higher freedom and knowledge. The religious philanthropist who hopes to gain salvation by good works has merely exchanged worldliness for other-worldliness. The secular philanthropist is really at heart a socialist, and nothing else; he hopes to make men happy and good by bettering their worldly position. Practical philanthropists, after long and bitter experience, will arrive at a conclusion which, to an Occultist, is from the first a working hypothesis — that misery is not only endurable, but agreeable to many who endure it. Physical philanthropy, apart from the infusion of new influences and ennobling conceptions of life into the minds of the masses, is worthless. The gradual assimilation by mankind of great spiritual truths will alone revolutionize the face of civilization, and ultimately result in a far more effective panacea for evil, than the mere tinkering of superficial misery. Prevention is not only “better than cure,” it is the only cure. Those who, amidst the present wholesale dominion of the worship of matter, material interests, and bare selfishness, will have bravely fought for human rights and man’s divine nature, will become the teachers of the masses and their benefactors. The protectors and Saviours of the now resurrecting human thought and spirit are those who will have learnt to express and put into practice the aspirations as well as the physical needs of the rising generations, and of the now trampled-down masses. In order that one should fully comprehend individual life, with its physiological, psychic, and spiritual mysteries, he has to devote himself with all the fervour of unselfish philanthropy and love for his fellow man. And by studying and knowing collective life, i.e., mankind, he has to decipher, understand, and remember the innermost feelings and aspirations of the poor people’s great and suffering heart: (1) by attuning his soul with that of humanity at large, as the old philosophy teaches; and (2) by mastering the meaning of every line and word in the rapidly turning pages of the Book of Life in the secure knowledge that his Self is inseparable from all Selves. How many profound readers of life may be found in our boasted age of sciences and culture? Theosophical charity in the heart of every true Theosophist must urge him to eschew reprisals and never to return evil for evil, so long as truth damaging to his enemies can be withheld without danger to the Cause.

Book excerpt: Poetry. Asian American Studies. "Given that there are two kinds of readers in English, those who are passionate fans of the poetry of Linh Dinh and those who have yet to read his writing, ALL AROUND WHAT EMPTIES OUT is a major event, too long overdue. These are works without waste, with the driest sense of humor and, throughout, an underlying feel for the pain of living that calls to mind Kathy Acker as much as Kafka"--Ron Silliman.
