Synopsis

A prominent figure of the Age of Enlightenment, the French philosopher Denis Diderot served as chief editor of the ‘Encyclopédie’, the first encyclopaedia to include contributions from many named contributors. He developed a materialist philosophy and arrived at startling intuitive insights into biology and chemistry. In speculating on the origins of life without divine intervention, he foreshadowed the evolutionary theories of Darwin and put forth a prophetic picture of the cellular structure of matter. His ideas, often captured in the form of paradox and dialogue, stem from a sense of life’s ambiguities and a profound understanding of the complexities and contradictions of human nature. This eBook presents Diderot’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts appearing in digital print for the first time, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

    This book is written for the advance and the beginning psychics as well as those interested in finding out more. It is written a counterpoint to much of the bad press that the psychic community receives in the larger society.  
    It is a practical guide for the practicing psychic discussing psychic ability and provides skills that will assist in enhancing your connection to the larger world. I am a Taoist Master who spent twelve years in a temple. Through the process of overcoming dyslexia, I learned how the mind works at a fundamental level and how to connect with fundamental aspects of reality. Since I was a child, my entire life and reality have been centered around a connection with the world beyond my five senses and the pragmatic definition of the universe. 
    If you have been a practicing psychic or have experienced the psychic connection, I don’t need to tell you that there is much more going on in the world than what our senses or science tell us. This book explores this while giving practical advice and skills that will help to keep you balanced while enhancing your abilities. I speak to you in practical terms because I live my daily life through Energy. It at once reveals my direction and keeps me from harm while imbuing me with abilities I once never thought possible. 
    In the world today, we are polarized in so many fundamental ways. There are many reasons for this, but at a fundamental level, it is because of the cycle that we are in. My goal in life has always been to study reality. I try to look at things as they really are. We are in a period of extreme transformation right now where the things we once believed were unchangeable are no longer that certain. The ground is giving way, and this makes it a very frightening time. It is also a wonderful magical time where things once believed impossible will become possible.

    Righteous Renegades: Once Hidden Heroes of the Holocaust 
    By Quentin Drummond Anderson 
    As the Nazi regime tightened its grip across Europe, four diplomats waged a silent battle with bureaucracy itself. Chiune Sugihara, Raoul Wallenberg, Varian Fry, and Aristides de Sousa Mendes defied their governments to save thousands during the Holocaust. 
    The Nazi genocide operated through meticulous documentation and legal decrees. Escape required someone willing to break these very rules. 
    Japanese consul Sugihara issued thousands of unauthorized transit visas from Lithuania. Swedish diplomat Wallenberg arrived in Budapest in 1944, using forged documents and safe houses to rescue Hungarian Jews. American journalist Fry transformed an assignment in Vichy France into a covert rescue operation for intellectuals and refugees. Portuguese consul Sousa Mendes granted visas to thousands in Bordeaux against direct orders. 
    Their heroism came at tremendous cost. Some faced professional ruin, while others vanished into Soviet captivity. Recognition as Righteous Among the Nations came decades later. 
    Through gripping storytelling and extensive research, Anderson examines the ethical dilemmas these men confronted. Each was bound by government duty yet found moral courage to disobey. The book explores power structures, bureaucratic indifference, and how a single signature determined life or death. 
    More than historical account, Righteous Renegades reflects on individual responsibility within systems of power. In today's world of refugee crises and political oppression, these lessons remain profoundly relevant. 
    For readers of Erik Larson, Deborah Lipstadt, and Timothy Snyder, this essential addition to Holocaust literature poses a timeless question: When faced with injustice, would you have the courage to act?
