Book excerpt: Why does Mankind experience the same problems over and over again? Is he locked in a perpetual cycle doomed to repeat the same old mistakes regardless of his culture or time period? Throughout history there have been enlightened people and Masters who have told how to end this cycle. Were they wrong or have we misinterpreted their words? This spiritual adventure follows the lives of five characters who have taken it upon themselves to break this cycle of violence and destruction. Each of these characters: a Russian Parapsychologist, a South Korean Quantum Physicist, a West Texas Baptist Missionary in China, a California Psychologist, and an International Consultant from Dallas, holds a piece to the puzzle that will tell us how our worldview has trapped us in this endless spiral. Their personal experiences bring each of them to a higher consciousness and awareness that Mankind’s inevitable fate needs a detour. Through their commonality of belief, they meet and form a group whose objective is to answer the questions Mankind has always asked. Questions that must be answered if Man is to change his perspective and break the repetitive cycle of history that continues to lead back to war, poverty and suffering.

Download or read book The Enterprise written by Donald L. Schilling and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-12-05 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Enterprise is a fictional City-State formed by a few of the many members of the US Military, Engineers, and Scientists who participated in World War II (WWII), as well as the wars and 'Police Actions' that followed. At first, the Enterprise was merely a privately held company that designed electronic equipment, robot-warriors, and weapons which they sold to the US Armed Services. In order to help pay the bills, one of the Founders of the Company, who was extremely well versed in buying and selling Securities, used his talent for the Company's benefit. After a short time, the Enterprise bought an Island near the Bahama Islands, in the Atlantic Ocean, and declared itself a Country, the Enterprise Isle. The Island was protected from attack by the use of the weapons it had developed. (These weapons may well be the weapons used by the US, its Allies, and its Enemies by 2035). After repeated attacks, these enemy countries, having lost planes and ships, as well as countless members of their armed forces decided not to annoy this new Country. Thus, the Enterprise grew in wealth and gained the respect of the Nations of the world. During the intervening years, it developed an Engineering and a Medical School that were the among the best in the world and employed equipment found nowhere else. By 2020, the Enterprise was one of the 5 wealthiest countries in the world. Its GDP was $10T in 2020, and its philosophy was to trade with any country that would trade fairly with them. Any company, or country, that dealt unfairly, suffered severe consequences. Indeed, it had already become known that the Enterprise had weapons that could destroy any country in the world with little damage to itself. The Enterprise's primary objectives were to provide for its 4 million Citizens, and to try not to interfere in other countries' business. This second item was not always easy to accomplish. After all, we all have friends!

Download or read book Hestia Strikes a Match written by Christine Grillo and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2023-04-18 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Best Book of the Year at NPR A Must-Read at The Washington Post, Oprah Daily, and The Orange County Register “Steamy, smart, and hilarious.” —Oprah Daily “Effervescent . . . Acerbically funny and tender . . . [A] supremely layered, emotionally and intellectually resonant novel for our time.” —Lauren LeBlanc, The Boston Globe Christine Grillo’s Hestia Strikes a Match is the slyly funny story of a woman looking for love and friendship in the midst of a new American civil war. The year is 2023, and things are bad—bad, but still not as bad as they could be. Hestia Harris is forty-two, abandoned by her husband (he left to fight for the Union cause), and estranged from her parents (they’re leaving for the Confederacy). Yes, the United States has collapsed into a second civil war and again it’s Unionists against Confederates, children against parents, friends against friends. Hestia has left journalism (too much war reporting) for a job at a Baltimore retirement village on the Inner Harbor (lots of security). She’s single and adrift, save for her coworkers and Mildred, an eighty-four-year-old, thrice-happily-married resident who gleefully supports Hestia’s half-hearted but hopeful attempts to find love again in a time of chaos and disunion. She reckons with the big questions (How do we live in the midst of political collapse? How do we love people who believe terrible things?) and the little ones (How do I decorate a nonworking fireplace? Can I hook up with a mime?), all while wrestling with that simmering, roiling, occasionally boiling feeling that things are decidedly not okay, but we have to keep going, one foot in front of the other, because maybe, just maybe, we can still find the kinds of relationships that sustain a person through anything. Christine Grillo’s Hestia Strikes a Match is an irreverent, incisive, laugh-out-loud interrogation of modern love of all kinds, in all its messy beauty. Equal parts wise and hilarious, it fills the heart, fortifies the spirit, and will surely help to fend off despair. In the face of the everyday wildness of our times, it asks and answers that newly constant question: How do we make a full, wonderfully ordinary life when the whole mad world is clattering down around us?
