R.V. Johnson has created a wonderful world full of intriguing and believable characters, thoroughly entertaining! -Steven Moore, author of the bestselling Hiram Kane series. Tolkien meets Herbert and takes us on an incredible two world struggle for survival of humankind! To avoid a confrontation with the Creek sisters-Crystalyn and Jade-a parasitic alien calling itself the One Mind, escapes to the land of Terra, and grows quickly stronger. Gorging on the brain neurons of organic beings, the creature scales up a planet-wide plan for genocidal control, using someone dear as a host. With a small band of fighters and magic users, the siblings track it into the lowest realm on the planet, a place ravaged by radiation storms and ancient battles. There, Crystalyn's unorthodox power with symbols might hold the key to the alien's demise. Or make it unimaginably stronger... Sureen, mother of the two most powerful magic Users known, a strong sorceress in her own right, knows where the power lies in Terra. The King's Administration controls all from atop a vast tower. High above, they care nothing about the destruction caused by their single-minded pursuit of advanced technology. With a small faction of native Terrans, she means to stop them, even at the cost of putting herself, and those she loves at the forefront of the Administration's hit list. Volume 4 of the thrilling fantasy sci-fi struggle for survival, The Flow of Power Chronicles. An epic adventure like no other!
Anthropology, evolutionary psychology, and sociology recast in the image of the mad weeping primate: it slowly dawns on this creature what he is.What this work demands is not something most of the human race is prepared to give. They neither want it, nor need it, nor think it possible: to seek freedom from those very consolations which appear to give life its meaning and scope. This freedom is an esoteric luxury sought by ascetics with nothing to lose: it costs exorbitant energetic quanta to resist the instinct of mythopoesis - this hydra has no particularly vulnerable locus, and more or less cannot be defeated. What we achieve is not "freedom from delusion", but "freedom for illusion" a little creative room, a little joyful participation, a little less neurosis and compulsion in our dreams. If we can become less reactive, less prone to spasmodic plagiarism, less fixated on childish fantasy, less prone to geriatric moral sentiment, less feeble in imagination and the tolerance of contradiction, less eager to resolve every dilemma and banish every dark premonition that's ever crossed the desk of humanity's collective catalogue of nightmare... then we will have matured, grown deeper roots, and learned receptivity. In the aftermath, comes receptivity: reality as we find it, sparkling wavering reality, like the swirling taste of cinnamon and tamarind, spicy and sweet and bitter all at once - it offers no logical neatness, no curling conclusion, no bedtime story with tucked-away questions and the swallowed seam of unraveling consequence... What we desire is maturity without despair; gratitude without hope; affection without cloying; knowledge without foreclosure.

I had recently turned nineteen and for the first time in my life, I was seated, not standing across from my father and having a real adult conversation. Regaling him of my achievements with all the experience of nineteen years, he listened silently. When I eventually ran out of bluster, Dad quietly looked me right in the eye and said, "Raymond you are a mug!" It did not take long for me to realise how right was this old seasoned campaigner! Why had I not had insights like this shared earlier in life? I was subsequently "freed up" (sacked) from my first three positions! However, remaining undaunted I had saved enough funds to embark on what turned out a solo trip across the world. From London, on a secondhand Triumph motorbike beckoned Europe and beyond. Broke and begging in Italy, hitching through the Middle East camping alone under the stars, swimming to try to save a life in Kashmir and nearly eaten by a roaming Sumatran tiger were some experiences. Back in OZ a previously "whining poor me" type had somehow transitioned into a different soul who could have a good crack at enduring virtually anything life threw my way. From running marathons to a black belt, captaining Rugby representative teams to sales management and state management roles I became quite successful. What had changed? The question is, what will you do when you do not know what to do? Had been well answered, through literally enduring a journey from being deserted, double-crossed, deceived, jilted, jarred, wondered and blundered across the world terrified to pure elation and strangely good luck. As Oscar Wilde said, "Education is a wonderful thing but it is well to remember from time to time, nothing that is useful can ever be taught." I discovered certain actions more often than not consistently produce better outcomes. So I started applying these skills in my work and life which coincidentally are actually universal, but so few embrace. After retiring I decided to try to pay it forward and share these concepts with some of the local high schools. A cohort today I am convinced in dire need of purpose and a set of critical skills to navigate the minefield of today's world. Being aware of school curriculums and printed material available there appears a gaping hole in this area with many schools only offering an already "stretched" Humanities teacher. Nationally over 80% of students have identified anxiety as their area of most concern. From sixty presentations 84% of students who have participated rated 8.5 to 10 as effecting positive change in their lives. Currently, three Headmasters have written recommendations. The book is seventeen chapters and targeted at young adults to instill a set of easily implementable skills for life. The manuscript is deliberately relayed in an attempted humorous narrative with many personal anecdotes. The scaffolding is built from topics such as, the past was just practice, developing friends for life, accept and adapt, acknowledging life is difficult, whatever befalls us this too shall pass, stoicism and goal setting. Also easily applicable ways to manage the pressure of anxiety. There is a Summary after each Chapter and an Action Plan. The book offers actual strategies and actions to build a confident and competent life of purpose. Particularly when the messages are shared by some harrowing, entertaining experiences from someone who has lived the actual trauma and not from a textbook. I am convinced had I or any teenager access to these skills from age fifteen their capabilities would be maximized. Thus far school student survey results have been outstanding. The last chapters of the book include a Letter of commitment. A personal call to your honour. A Toolkit to follow and hopefully the key is found to open the lock of a life lived well.

Everyone expected Alexander Kepler to fail during Bury's first year, Alex included. But being moshiach is only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Alex's already wondering how he'll get through. It's not just that it's gruelling and maliciously brutal, or even that it's designed to stretch the brain's capacity for pain beyond endurance. It's Yahweh, who's made it his personal mission to teach Alex exactly how powerless he is-unless he betrays himself. Although Alex might be weaker than moshiach ben David, he still has his own identity, and has a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Yahweh has taught him: moshiachs make their own rules.But a determination to survive won't be enough. Because Alex knows the real secret hidden for centuries-and nothing, not even Yahweh, may be enough to save the human race in the end.
Increasing his efforts to control humanity, Satan cunningly sends his son into our world as humanity creates life and unintentionally gives rise to malicious creatures - the very same Nephilim described in the Old Testament.In response to humankind's meddling in what belongs only to God, the Commander of the Ark of the Covenant is entrusted with confronting and eliminating this impending peril, even as a startling twist unfolds: humanity mysteriously begins to idolize Satan's offspring as the second messiah, readily forsaking the Son of Man.Consequently, God the Father delivers His judgment upon humanity.

Their imaginations take them to the exotic destinations that they learn about through Neilla's books, from mysterious jungles, to soaring mountains, and beyond. But when Neilla becomes ill, she no longer has the energy for play. As she prepares for her hospital stay, she gives Owen a special gift, and a charge to experience the wonders of the world for her. Owen is devastated when his friend must go away, for he has always had Neilla at his side for every challenge and discovery, but his love for Neilla is stronger than his fear and sadness.

Making friends with every new discovery, Owen learns about endemic species and the challenges they encounter in this unique habitat. He must overcome his fears to experience all that the island offers, and in doing so he gains the trust and friendship of the animals of the island of Isabella. As you join the adventure, you will learn new words (Owen and Neilla are really into Latin roots) and facts about amazing animals-- and you will be reminded of the power of friendship, love, and curiosity to bring joy and strength in difficult times.

This book is written as an introduction for someone new to meditation. It will also serve the seasoned practitioner who is looking to reinvigorate their practice. This book not only gives instructions on how to meditate, it also includes a special emphasis on how to integrate mindfulness into our daily lives. Guided meditations are provided.This book is a symphonic synthesis of what I have learned over the past 35 years about how to meditate. Some of what I learned came from taking classes, reading, and listening to dharma talks. Other lessons came from attending retreats, sitting in meditation and integrating mindfulness into my day. It was the experience of sitting and integrating that helped the concepts become a part of me. I often say that we do not sit to become good meditators. The real harvest of the fruit of meditation practice is when we can see how our lives are impacted in beneficial ways when we knowingly are present with the reality of the moment and then choose to live our lives skillfully from the point of wisdom, rather than from the stance of habit and past conditioning.
