Uncompromised - The Surprising Power of Integrity in a Corrupt World

Dan Desmarques

Sinopsis

The subject of ethics has been debated by ancient philosophers and continues to be debated today because, although ignored by many, it permeates the core of our interactions and is present in the choices we make and how those choices affect us. We might even say that ethics is the Greek counterpart to the study of the Indian concept of dharma, or the understanding of the relationship between causes, consciousness, and their effects. The study of ethics is not merely a study of morality, but an important advance in the direction of our own consciousness. The more we know about what makes us moral or immoral, the better our choices will be, and the closer we will be to a life of meaning and joy. There is no enlightenment without consciousness, and no higher consciousness without an understanding of ethics, which must follow an advance in the development of reason. Thus, the study of ethics is part of the path to becoming a more capable person in the many areas of life.

You are the Way - Manifest Your...

Fabio Mantegna, Elmer O. Locker Jr

Have you ever wondered why some people have a "golden touch", while others are constantly haunted by bad luck? If you count yourself in the first category, congratulations! You're already adept at creating conscious manifestations. In this case, the techniques in this Manifestation Book will help you fulfill (even) greater desires. Often, however, reality unfolds differently: You struggle and invest incredible effort to achieve your goals. But just when things appear to be improving, the next defeat, obstacle, or setback emerges. It feels like for every two steps forward, you're thrown three steps back. 
Author & Master of Manifestation, Neville Goddard, distilled the Law of Assumption (often regarded as the true Law of Attraction) and the Hermetic Laws to their core principles, achieving unparalleled success in manifesting. This success was not just personal but also extended to the thousands of students who mastered the art of manifestation through his teachings. Among his apprentices was Elmer O. Locker Jr. Elmer's grandson, David, has further enriched this Manifestation Book with many of his own experiences in manifestation. If you wish to harness the power of your consciousness (conscious and subconscious mind) to realize your desires, don't hesitate. Dive into the techniques & instructions provided in this book for manifesting.

Gratefully & affectionately -...

Gráinne Hurley

Between 1958 and 1976, the Irish American writer Mary Lavin had sixteen stories published in The New Yorker, after J. D. Salinger introduced her to the magazine. It was a prolific time for Lavin, helped in no small part by her close working relationship with her chief editor there, Rachel MacKenzie. They wrote nearly four-hundred letters to each other, the topics of which ranged from story edits to holiday plans, windfalls and legal troubles, mutual literary friends and their love of gardening, promotions and health emergencies. Within a year of working together, they were ending their letters with 'love', 'gratefully' and 'affectionately'. Lavin was soon offered the magazine's highly coveted first-reading agreement.

Gráinne Hurley's impressive debut, Gratefully & Affectionately: Mary Lavin & The New Yorker, draws extensively from Lavin and MacKenzie's letters as well as other material related to the revered magazine. It explores the collaborative relationship between this writer and her editor, Lavin's own writing process, the inner workings and editing procedures of The New Yorker and the process of publishing a story from manuscript to print during its heyday. The book also reveals Lavin's professional dealings with agents and publishers and her friendships with prominent literary figures including Eudora Welty, Frank O'Connor, William Maxwell and John McGahern.

Gratefully & Affectionately offers fascinating insight into the lives and careers of two mid-20th-century women, working on either side of the Atlantic and inhabiting the small but hallowed world of literary publishing. It reveals how their fortunate union and combined love for the written word produced some of Lavin's finest work.
