On the advice of his old mentor in Vienna, Martin returns to his childhood home in South Africa. But he discovers that the country has changed in his seven-year absence - and not necessarily for the better. Battling with the demons of the 'New South Africa', his parents have taken in a new business partner, and two families, as tenants, to improve the security and financial situation on the family estate. But it is a tenuous community of mismatched people, and everybody is thinking about leaving the place. Nonetheless, Martin attempts to improve the situation on the estate with his artistic and spiritual gifts; and gradually he finds a bond of empathy to the Land and the People. But then, one day, Martin gets drawn into a racial dispute, confronting him with the grim reality of the country. Once again, Martin draws upon the memories of his old mentor, and attempts to mediate - in the Township of Tembisa, at sundown...

'After Buddha, Krishna and Jesus the first Master with a cigarette in his hand has arrived - even though the Great White Brotherhood has a strict no smoking policy!'In today's New Age scene everybody wants to be a great Master; and this makes Willy - with his magic cigarette - the ultimate Guru; because with his Technique-less Technique he grants his followers the ability to actually become great gurus and masters themselves. But the ancient and powerful Golden Light Order declares war upon Willy, claiming that he has stolen the Technique-less Technique from them; but nobody inside the Order dares to oppose Willy openly - except Zack, the crazy philosopher, who enjoys confusing the world, and spends his time playing football with the neighbourhood kids. But before Zack can succeed in toppling Willy, he must first become a great master himself - only then can he hope to take away Willy's magic cigarette and topple Willy.

This book aims to further harmony and human rights in Catholicism and the world at large; by exploring delicate issues within the Catholic Church, such as clerical celibacy, which ought to be discarded, according to the author - as well as gender inequality; recent revolts in the Vatican showing that the church is still failing women. While Pope Francis has opened up more discussion about women's roles and appointed women in key Vatican positions, the topic of them becoming priests is still very much taboo. Quantum Theory - and the ethical and psychological ramifications of spiritual intelligence - is also an approach which the world religions should adopt, according to the author, as the world is always in motion - constantly changing, developing and evolving... However, first and foremost this book advocates that we all have to work together on making the world a better place - by being open-minded and willing to overbridge differences; so that peace, prosperity and love can be manifested in the world.

The Crystal Conclave was an experimental project in the form of a magazine, published in 2006 and 2007 in South Africa (Mid-Rand), receiving contributions from a number of innovative and interesting writers and poets. One of the principle aims of the Crystal Conclave was to make a contribution to healing South Africa; on an economic, spiritual, psychological and medical level. Although the magazine's primary purpose was to promote the New Thought movement in Africa, the project also attracted a number of writers and poets from the Mainstream.

Dear All,Due to Bibi Netanyahu's bad governance, Israel-Palestine is currently like a lost puppy - which needs protection by the NGO Community.President Isaac Herzog has failed to mediate discussions between relevant political figures over Netanyahu's illegal judicial overhaul.Herzog described his two critical roles as "averting a historic constitutional crisis and stopping the continued rift within our nation."Furthermore, the Supreme Court President of Israel, Chief Justice Esther Hayut denounced Netanyahu's illegal plan to undermine Israel's judicial and legal system, saying it would deal a fatal blow to the country's democratic identity.It should also be noted, that the status quo is not working in Israel-Palestine - with thousands of innocent People having been killed since the founding of Israel. The only solution is a Bi-National state to manifest Peace. In view of increasing violence between Israels Defense Forces (IDF) and Hamas, de-escalation is essential now. In particular the killing of innocent Civilians and Children by violent extremists must stop in Israel-Palestine.To prevent a power vacuum in Israel-Palestine - and a potential civil war - the NGO BTB-Global Peacebuilding will be handling matters in Israel-Palestine in the meantime; such domestic policy, foreign policy and Human Rights issues in Israel, Palestine and Gaza - until a lasting Peace has been manifested in the land.This includes manifesting Equal Rights, Legal Equality and Public Safety for ALL in Israel-Palestine.We encourage the People in Israel-Palestine - in particular the Government of Israel, the Palestinian Authority and Hamas - to engage in Peace Talks; so that a Bi-National State, Equality and Democracy can be manifested in the land.The solution is quite simple: create a true democracy, i.e one person one vote. Reconciliation may take some time, but that's the only way for a lasting Peace in Israel-Palestine.Hence a Bi-National State - following the South African example to end apartheid - would be the best way to go, in our opinion.We invite all People in Israel-Palestine and the International Community - in particular the Arab/Muslim world and Israel/Jewish Community - to join our anti-apartheid political movement so that Legal Equality and Democracy can be manifested in a Bi-National State.Love and Light / ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ / In sha'Allah / ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ / SheElohim yevarach othaThe Mashiach ¿¿¿¿ Mark / BTB-Global Peacebuilding10 April, 2023
