Summary

Alfred North Whitehead (18681-1947) was an English mathematician and philosopher. He is best known as the defining figure of the philosophical school known as process philosophy, which has been applied to a variety of disciplines, including ecology, theology, education, physics, biology, economics, and psychology. He was educated at Cambridge University in England and later became a professor of philosophy at Harvard University. Early in his career Whitehead wrote primary on mathematics, logic, and physics. His most notable work is the three-volume “Principia Mathematica” which he wrote with former student Bertrand Russell, and was published in 1910-1913. His book, “Science and the Modern World,” published in 1925, is based on a series of lectures he presented in February of 1925, although with some revisions and additions.

A Gathering of Soldiers relates the story of Daniel Ryan, an Irish immigrant who has begun a new life in Georgia just as the events leading up to the momentous civil war in America have begun to unfold. The book describes his experiences upon enlisting with a group of his peers, in a north Georgia militia company, following Abraham Lincoln's first summons for troops to invade the southern states.  
The novel follows the progress of Ryan, and his volunteer comrades as they evolve into soldiers, from their first posting on garrison duty on the Savannah River estuary, before journeying to Virginia to take part in the manoeuvring and the bloody engagements of the peninsular campaign in the summer of 1862, all of which changes the lives and outlooks of the surviving boys forever.

EXPERIMENT F is the first in a series of thought experiments aimed at the discovery of the answers to the most basic of human questions. 
These questions might be common to all of us but inherently we are all different. By removing our differences of faith, religion, education, knowledge and biases, we are left with nothing but ourselves and the questions. 
Can they still be answered? 
This first thought Experiment F attempts to provide you with the pathway to find out if you are a good human being.

Quantum Mechanics is a strange but fundamental part of modern physics and we see the results of this theory with technology used in our daily lives. Quantum effects may also help to explain our consciousness and spiritual (paranormal) abilities. Quantum effects also lead to some very strange phenomena which seem impossible at first glance. 
Some of the main subjects discussed here include: 
·        Quantum Teleportation 
·        Quantum Computing 
·        Quantum Gravity 
·        Quantum Consciousness 
·        Our Consciousness wave function 
·        The Multiverse 
I also use the experiential knowledge from my prophecies and the research I’ve done on the paranormal to show potential links to quantum effects. The human ability to teleport psychically is one possible connection. 
There seems to be a coordination between quantum effects and spiritual abilities as described in the Yoga Sutras on Patanjali. Near the end of the book I make an effort to link quantum phenomena and consciousness together.

""There are many women like Belén whose names we don’t know, but whose stories are just as important. An uplifting chronicle of one woman’s fight for justice.""—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 
Foreword by Margaret Atwood 
The heartbreaking true story of an Argentinian woman imprisoned for having a miscarriage—an injustice that galvanized a feminist movement and became a global rallying cry in the fight for reproductive rights. 
In 2014, Belén, a twenty-five-year-old woman living in rural Argentina, went to the hospital for a stomachache—and soon found herself in prison. While at the hospital she had a miscarriage—without knowing she was pregnant. Because of the nation’s repressive laws surrounding abortion and reproductive rights, the doctors were forced to report her to the authorities. Despite her protestations, Belén was convicted and sentenced to two years for homicide. 
Belén’s imprisonment is a glaring example of how women’s health care has become increasingly criminalized, putting the most vulnerable—BIPOC, rural, and low-income—women at greater risk of prosecution. Belén’s cause became the centerpiece of a movement to achieve greater protections for all women. After two failed attempts to clear her name, Belén met feminist lawyer Soledad Deza, who quickly rallied Amnesty International and ignited an international feminist movement around #niunamas—not one more—symbolized by thousands of demonstrators around the globe donning white masks, the same kind of mask Belén wore when leaving prison. The #niunamas movement was instrumental in pressuring Argentine president Alberto Fernández to decriminalize abortion in 2021.  
In this gripping and personal account of the case and its impact on local law, Ana Correa, one of Argentina’s leading journalists and activists, makes clear that what happened to Belén could happen to any woman—and that we all have the power to raise our collective voices and demand change.

Alchemy is one of the world's most ancient practices of unification with spirit, God, Goddess, or whatever term you wish to assign to a greater consciousness. 
In this work, which comprises a series of lectures delivered in the early 2000's, Maja D'Aoust takes us on a journey to explore the history of what Alchemy is in different cultures, timelines and creative practices, to shed some light on this often misunderstood spiritual technique.  Delving into Taoism, Kabbalah, European sources such as Paracelsus, and examining the science behind the implications of making homunculi and Golems, this volume is a thorough, scholarly researched, deep dive into one of the most esoteric subjects a seeker can come across.  With references and quotes by some of the greatest historical multicultural authors in the field, you won't want to miss this enlightening journey into understanding the Alchemical wisdom traditions.
