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 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

Charles Unwin toils as a clerk at a huge, imperious detective agency located in an unnamed city always slick with rain.

Download or read book The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa written by Fernando Pessoa and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A selection of prose by “Portugal’s greatest writer of the twentieth century . . . as addictive, and endearing, as Borges and Calvino” (The Washington Post Book World). Building on the wonderful Fernando Pessoa & Co.: Selected Poems, which was acclaimed by Booklist as “a beautiful one-volume course in the soul of the twentieth century,” translator Richard Zenith has now edited and translated selections from Pessoa’s prose, offering a second volume of this forgotten master’s flights of imagination and melancholy wit. Though known primarily as a poet, Pessoa wrote prose in several languages and every genre—the novel, short stories, letters, and essays. The pieces collected here span intellectual inquiry, Platonic dialogue, and literary rivalries between Pessoa’s many alter egos—a diverse cast of literary voices he called ‘heteronyms’—who launch movements and write manifestos. There are appreciations of Shakespeare, Dickens, Wilde, and Joyce; critical essays in which one heteronym derides the work of another; experiments with automatic writing; and works that toy with the occult. Also included is a generous selection from Pessoa’s masterpiece, The Book of Disquiet, freshly translated by Richard Zenith from newly discovered materials. Fernando Pessoa was one of the greatest exponents of modernism. The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa is an important contribution to literature that brings back to life a forgotten but crucial part of the canon.
