Book excerpt: “Meaty, well-written.” —Kirkus Reviews “Timely and informative.” —The New York Times Book Review “By far the best book I have ever read on humanity’s deep history.” —E. O. Wilson, biologist and author of The Ants and On Human Nature Nicholas Wade’s articles are a major reason why the science section has become the most popular, nationwide, in the New York Times. In his groundbreaking Before the Dawn, Wade reveals humanity’s origins as never before—a journey made possible only recently by genetic science, whose incredible findings have answered such questions as: What was the first human language like? How large were the first societies, and how warlike were they? When did our ancestors first leave Africa, and by what route did they leave? By eloquently solving these and numerous other mysteries, Wade offers nothing less than a uniquely complete retelling of a story that began 500 centuries ago.

Book excerpt: Sunshine Before the Dawn by Judy Satori June 2012 ISBN 978-0-9856730-0-0 Sunshine Before the Dawn reads and appears like work of fiction, but it’s not! The author, Judy Satori is an energy healer and spiritual teacher. She speaks and transmits a higher-dimensional Language of Light. For many years she has worked with beings from other worlds and other dimensions of reality and it is they who have telepathically transmitted this inter-dimensional love and adventure story. Chapter one begins around one hundred thousand years ago, as the Galactic Council of our Milky Way Galaxy meet on the star Antares to discuss a problem concerning Earth. They are concerned that the beings of Earth cannot move beyond their third dimensional confinement, and so evolve in consciousness. They propose that an upgraded version of the human being be created, with each of the Star Nations within the 12 dimensions of what is known as the lower heavenly worlds, contributing an aspect of their genetic code to the new hu-man. ‘Hu’ is a sound that means God and it is determined by the Galactic Council that the new hu-man being of the Earth be a spiritual being, to be given the genetic capacity to one day evolve to move beyond the physical confinement of Earth, and traverse all 12 dimensions of reality in what is called the lower heavenly worlds. A woman from the Galactic Council, Essayenya from the star Sirius, is tasked with the responsibility of working together with a team from Sirius and Lyra, as well as with the Elohim, the creator aspect of God, to create the new prototype hu-man to be seeded on the Earth. Essayenya, from fifth dimensional Sirius is in love with Mosteenya, the leader of the Galactic Council, from 12th dimensional Lyra, but because of the differences in vibration between these two dimensional worlds they seem destined to remain apart. Essayenya and others of her team from Sirius, journey to Lyra to work together with the Lyran women, who weave the Dreamtime Strands of Creation. They are to decide how the new hu-man should best be created. Romance blossoms between Essayenya and Mosteenya, but it seems they can never be together, unless Essayenya comes to Earth, to take into her own soul DNA the new hu-man genetic code. This story has been brought through from higher-dimensional spiritual beings at this time to help us all understand our Lineage of Light, and that we all came here from the stars. All human beings on the Earth now hold the more advanced 12 strand DNA hu-man genome that was created around 100,000 years ago. This DNA capacity has until now only been potential. It was not able to be activated while the Earth remained within a third dimensional energy domain. However, it has long been prophesized that in December 2012, the Earth will be advanced to a fifth dimensional, faster pulsating consciousness and vibration. This shift in frequency will trigger the activation of previously dormant DNA potential and a massive consciousness upgrade for Earth and her people. As Earth comes of age, we, who once came to Earth from various Star Nations, are being triggered to remember where we came from and why we are here on Earth. As soul DNA memory is reactivated, people everywhere are being empowered to step into greater personal and spiritual mastery and actualize dormant soul potential to together create a new world order of peace and love. Sunshine Before the Dawn is a novel. It is an exciting, action packed mystery and adventure story, but also includes much previously unknown spiritual information. Essayenya, the Siriun leader of the team tasked with creating the new hu-man specie journeys to Earth, to the ancient lands of Atlantis and Mu. There in the sacred place of prayer for the people of Mu, a land deep in the southern seas of the Earth, she is given a ‘key’, spiritual energy words that are only NOW, at the end of four Great Ages of Earth time of around 100,000 years, being triggered to come forth.

Download or read book Dawn written by Sevgi Soysal and published by Archipelago. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A searing autobiographical novel about a single night in prison suggests how broken spirits can be mended, and dreams rebuilt through imagination and human kindness “Like Pamuk’s Snow, Dawn is the Turkish tragedy writ small. In contrast to Snow, it places gender at its heart.” --Maureen Freely In Dawn, translated into English for the first time, legendary Turkish feminist Sevgi Soysal brings together dark humor, witty observations, and trenchant criticism of social injustice, militarism, and gender inequality. As night falls in Adana, köftes and cups of cloudy raki are passed to the dinner guests in the home of Ali – a former laborer who gives tight bear hugs, speaks with a southeastern lilt, and radiates the spirit of a child. Among the guests are a journalist named Oya, who has recently been released from prison and is living in exile on charges of leftist sympathizing, and her new acquaintance, Mustafa. A swift kick knocks down the front door and bumbling policemen converge on the guests, carting them off to holding cells, where they’ll be interrogated and tortured throughout the night. Fear spools into the anxious, claustrophobic thoughts of a return to prison, just after tasting freedom. Bristling snatches of Oya’s time in prison rush back – the wild curses and wilder laughter of inmates, their vicious quarrels and rapturous belly-dancing, or the quiet boon of a cup of tea. Her former inmates created fury and joy out of nothing. Their brimming resilience wills Oya to fight through the night and is fused with every word of this blazing, lucid novel.

Download or read book Dusk Night Dawn written by Anne Lamott and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Anne Lamott is my Oprah.” -Chicago Tribune From the bestselling author of Help, Thanks, Wow comes an inspiring guide to restoring hope and joy in our lives. In Dusk, Night, Dawn, Anne Lamott explores the tough questions that many of us grapple with. How can we recapture the confidence we once had as we stumble through the dark times that seem increasingly bleak? As bad newspiles up—from climate crises to daily assaults on civility—how can we cope? Where, she asks, “do we start to get our world and joy and hope and our faith in life itself back . . . with our sore feet, hearing loss, stiff fingers, poor digestion, stunned minds, broken hearts?” We begin, Lamott says, by accepting our flaws and embracing our humanity. Drawing from her own experiences, Lamott shows us the intimate and human ways we can adopt to move through life’s dark places and toward the light of hope that still burns ahead for all of us. As she does in Help, Thanks, Wow and her other bestselling books, Lamott explores the thorny issues of life and faith by breaking them down into manageable, human-sized questions for readers to ponder, in the process showing us how we can amplify life's small moments of joy by staying open to love and connection. As Lamott notes in Dusk, Night, Dawn, “I got Medicare three days before I got hitched, which sounds like something an old person might do, which does not describe adorably ageless me.” Marrying for the first time with a grown son and a grandson, Lamott explains that finding happiness with a partner isn't a function of age or beauty but of outlook and perspective. Full of the honesty, humor, and humanity that have made Lamott beloved by millions of readers, Dusk, Night, Dawn is classic Anne Lamott—thoughtful and comic, warm and wise—and further proof that Lamott truly speaks to the better angels in all of us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Small Great Things and A Spark of Light comes a “powerful” (The Washington Post) novel about the choices that alter the course of our lives. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY MARIE CLAIRE Everything changes in a single moment for Dawn Edelstein. She’s on a plane when the flight attendant makes an announcement: Prepare for a crash landing. She braces herself as thoughts flash through her mind. The shocking thing is, the thoughts are not of her husband but of a man she last saw fifteen years ago: Wyatt Armstrong. Dawn, miraculously, survives the crash, but so do all the doubts that have suddenly been raised. She has led a good life. Back in Boston, there is her husband, Brian, their beloved daughter, and her work as a death doula, in which she helps ease the transition between life and death for her clients. But somewhere in Egypt is Wyatt Armstrong, who works as an archaeologist unearthing ancient burial sites, a career Dawn once studied for but was forced to abandon when life suddenly intervened. And now, when it seems that fate is offering her second chances, she is not as sure of the choice she once made. After the crash landing, the airline ensures that the survivors are seen by a doctor, then offers transportation to wherever they want to go. The obvious destination is to fly home, but she could take another path: return to the archaeological site she left years before, reconnect with Wyatt and their unresolved history, and maybe even complete her research on The Book of Two Ways—the first known map of the afterlife. As the story unfolds, Dawn’s two possible futures unspool side by side, as do the secrets and doubts long buried with them. Dawn must confront the questions she’s never truly asked: What does a life well lived look like? When we leave this earth, what do we leave behind? Do we make choices . . . or do our choices make us? And who would you be if you hadn’t turned out to be the person you are right now?
