Project 2027 - A Bold Plan for...

Ed Minnock

America needs the Democrats to deliver prosperity and reunite America. 
The book discusses ten policies that voters overwhelmingly support: reduce prescription drug costs, reduce hospital costs, reduce housing costs, raise the minimum wage, remove big money from politics, restore women’s reproductive rights, outlaw gerrymandering, eliminate presidential immunity, restore the Voting Rights Act, and eliminate the electoral college. 
Implementing these policies will alleviate the hardship of nearly 200 hundred million Americans living paycheck to paycheck, enable women throughout America to once again be able to fully participate in modern social and economic life, and advance democracy. 
Democrats have drafted bills and passed laws that implement several of these policies. However, Republicans have and will continue to use the Senate filibuster and the Supreme Court to block these bills and overturn these laws. 
The book presents moral, legal, and constitutional methods to overcome this Republican obstruction without amendments. 
When Democrats improve the quality of life for Americans, they win elections

The Aitareya Upanishad 101 - an...

Matthew Barnes

Do you believe in evolution, but do not see this belief as necessarily negating the existence of an advanced Intelligence?
If so, you may find comfort, inspiration, and perhaps even proof for your beliefs within this ancient Hindu work.
The Aitareya Upanishad, which dates back to somewhere around 600-500 BCE, takes us through a journey … the journey of creation. It then leads us through the evolutionary changes that have brought us into this day and age and beyond, into the stage of existence that the ancient Hindus believed would come next. We were all created, the Hindus tell us, for a reason, and we are all evolving towards a particular state of beingness.
How can the Hindus be so sure that evolution is fact, and how can they be so sure that there is some sort of Intelligence behind it all? The Hindu religion is the oldest on earth. Their ancestors claim to have actually witnessed a small portion of evolution in action, and through their experiences, also claim to have discovered the underlying intent of life (both in the general and the individual sense). This work goes into these experiences and the insights the Hindus claim to have gained from them.
Also included in this narrative is an early Hindu concept of time and space that is extremely difficult to wrapt the human mind around. These concepts, however, coincide very closely with the findings of modern physics.
This work is my interpretation of the Aitareya Upanishad. I have endeavored to simplify its teachings, expand where needed, and include modern concepts, discoveries, and quotes to make the central concepts found within it more digestible to modern seekers, especially beginners.
