Multiverse The: Time and...

Martin K. Ettington

The subjects of time and dimensional travel really fascinate me. I went to Engineering School and took advanced courses in physics and mathematics so I have a pretty good understanding of science’s view of our Universe.I’ve also been fortunate to have learned and practiced techniques to become more spiritually and psychically developed. One of the things this led to were my numerous experiences with premonitions and prophecy which I’ve written about.My research also led me to write several books about stories of real time travel and dimensional shifting experiences.This book is a series and questions and answers to review and discuss what I’ve learned about time and dimensions which I hope will shed some light on the mysteries of these strange phenomena.The world is much more mysterious than we ever thought possible and our speculation is part of our developing an understanding of our universe.

The Shocking Truth about Energy...

Zoey Fraisers

Energy powers every aspect of modern life. From the moment we wake up and turn on the lights to the devices we use, the transportation we rely on, and the industries that fuel our economies, energy consumption is deeply embedded in our daily existence. However, few of us stop to consider the true cost of our energy habits—both visible and hidden. While energy provides convenience and economic growth, it also carries significant environmental, social, and economic consequences that often go unnoticed.
One of the most overlooked aspects of energy consumption is its environmental impact. The majority of the world's energy still comes from fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Burning these fuels releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane, which contribute to climate change. Rising global temperatures lead to extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems. Additionally, extracting and transporting fossil fuels result in deforestation, oil spills, and water contamination, all of which further degrade the planet.
Beyond environmental concerns, energy consumption has a direct impact on human health. Air pollution from power plants, vehicle emissions, and industrial activities causes respiratory diseases, heart conditions, and premature deaths. Communities near coal mines or oil refineries suffer from higher rates of illness due to exposure to toxic chemicals. In developing countries, millions still rely on wood, charcoal, or kerosene for cooking and heating, leading to indoor air pollution that is responsible for millions of deaths each year.

Requiem for America's Best Idea...

Michael J. Yochim

In his enthusiastic explorations and fervent writing, Michael J. Yochim "was to Yellowstone what Muir was to Yosemite. . . . Other times, his writing is like that of Edward Abbey, full of passion for the natural world and anger at those who are abusing it." In 2013 Yochim was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). While fighting the disease, he wrote Requiem for America's Best Idea. The book establishes a unique parallel between Yochim's personal struggle with a terminal illness and the impact climate change is having on the national parks—the treasured wilderness that he loved and to which he dedicated his life. 
 
 
 
Yochim explains how climate change is already impacting the vegetation, wildlife, and the natural conditions in Olympic, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, and Yosemite National Parks. A poignant and thought-provoking work, Requiem for America's Best Idea investigates the interactions between people and nature and the world that can inspire and destroy them.
