    In today’s world, a new social contagion is being spread by provocateurs and social media influencers who are determined to pressure people into accepting falsehood over truth. Battle lines have been drawn on both sides of the debate regarding “Transgenderism” and the mental health effects of Gender Dysphoria. As the battle rages, First Amendments Rights of Freedom of Speech that protect people’s rights to say unpopular things without government interference, and the right to refuse to say things the government wants said, are being called into question. 
    The minority group argues that it is their right to “Self-Identify” as whatever they wish in order to accommodate their thoughts and feelings instead of accepting their bodily realities, thereby defying biological design in the process. In response, the majority fight to maintain their right to disagree with people who psychologists say suffer from mental health issues. Common sense and basic language are being challenged and unfamiliar and innovative words have been invented to define one hundred and twelve genders, as claimed by Transgender Activists. This recent phenomenon leaves society to face many provocative questions. 
    Should the thoughts and feelings of one group override another groups desire to rely on truth and biological facts? Who is oppressing whom? For the God-Conscious, what roll does our Creator play in it all?

    With growth stalling, joblessness at crisis levels, and governance unravelling, most South Africans cannot fathom why the ANC does not embark on meaningful reform. The answer lies in what is seldom raised: the ruling party's unwavering determination to take the country by incremental steps from capitalism to socialism.
    This transformation is being implemented via a Moscow-inspired 'national democratic revolution' (NDR) dating back many decades. Despite the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, the ANC/SACP alliance still sees the NDR as offering the 'most direct route' to socialism in South Africa – and hence as its bedrock strategy.
    The NDR has been implemented in many different spheres since 1994. By way of example, NDR interventions have already made millions of people unemployable and the mining sector largely 'uninvestable'. They now aim at land expropriation without compensation (EWC) and the effective nationalisation of private healthcare and pensions.
    The NDR is the key to understanding ANC rule over some 30 years – yet most South Africans have been kept in the dark on it. This book aims to fill that gap. Written in clear and simple language, it provides an indispensable primer on the NDR and its role in the countdown to socialism in South Africa.

    Since the beginning of time, philosophers have tried to figure out what makes us happy. For the first time, modern technology has allowed biologists to map the inner chemicals that actually cause those feelings, and positive psychologists have used that information to construct the pillars of a meaningful life. Our inner reward systems were designed for a purpose, and understanding that design can allow you to take control of your anxiety and convert it into meaningful action. Through his personal successes in business and health, paired with the knowledge of a master’s degree in I-O Psychology from Harvard University’s Extension School, Mark Congdon has developed a seven-step system for joyful living called the I GOT This framework. In this book Mark will teach you how you can use those steps to develop your own growth mindset and pursue the purpose of your own Ideal Life.

    All These Things Added - Finding...

    Are you searching for something more—a lasting peace and a purpose that the world cannot provide? In this profound and practical sequel to his classic, As a Man Thinketh, James Allen reveals the path to discovering the riches that lie within your own soul. 
    James Allen was a pioneer of the self-help movement, whose short but impactful life remains as instructive as his prose. Born in Leicester, England, in 1864, his world was shattered at age fifteen when his father, a businessman, was murdered in New York before dying. This tragedy forced Allen to leave school and work a series of jobs to support his family.  
    In 1903, he published As a Man Thinketh, a compact, powerful book that would become a cornerstone of New Thought philosophy and inspire millions worldwide. Its central premise—that the mind is the master-weaver of both inner character and outer circumstance—was revolutionary in its simplicity. 
    Seeking a quiet life to match his teachings, Allen and his family moved to the small coastal town of Ilfracombe. He rose at dawn daily to write and meditate in his garden, living the principles of mental discipline and spiritual serenity he espoused. 
    All These Things Added is not merely a book to be read; it is a map for the supreme spiritual journey. Written during the serene, contemplative years of Allen's own life, it reflects his mature philosophy, guiding you to gently dismantle the illusions of lack and fear to discover the one place where true freedom resides: the Kingdom of your own perfected self. 
    Through eloquent prose that speaks directly to the heart, you will learn to relinquish the burdens of selfish desire, cultivate a mind rooted in purity and love, and move from a life of struggle to one of divine ease. This is the core of Allen's enduring legacy: a call to stop seeking outwardly for what can only be found within. Your journey to the added life—a life of righteousness, serenity, and soulful triumph—begins with a single, inward step.
