The Abundance Code - A Complete...

Anonymous

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Your mind has been trying to manifest abundance, but your body has been blocking it. For decades, people have repeated affirmations, visualized dream lives, and read every Law of Attraction book they could find—only to ask the same question: why isn’t it working for me? The Abundance Code reveals the missing piece—the state of your nervous system. When your body is trapped in survival mode, every “I am abundant” affirmation is drowned out by the deeper frequency of fear. True manifestation begins not in the mind, but in the body that holds your deepest patterns of safety, emotion, and energy.
This groundbreaking book by Baron Erwin Pitsch et de Jerusalem bridges modern neuroscience with ancient wisdom, showing how nervous system regulation and elemental balance create the biological and energetic foundation for abundance. It takes you beyond positive thinking into embodiment, teaching you to work with your natural rhythms instead of against them. Drawing from decades of study in Yoga, Daoist alchemy, Rosicrucian initiation, and trauma science, the author delivers a complete system for transforming your state from survival to thriving.
Inside you’ll discover the Four Elemental Equilibrium—Earth, Water, Fire, and Air—as a living map for balance and power. You’ll learn how breathwork, movement, sound, and daily coherence practices can rewire your body to feel safe, grounded, and open to receive. Through nervous system regulation, emotional intelligence, and the cultivation of inner stillness, you’ll unlock the state of being where abundance naturally flows to you.
The Abundance Code is not another book about wishful thinking—it’s a blueprint for embodied wealth. It’s for the seeker who has done the work, practiced the mantras, meditated for years, and still feels something missing. It’s for the ones who know that abundance is more than money—it’s energy, creativity, peace, and the freedom to live in alignment with your highest self.

The First History of Man

MD John Bershof

In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
The First History of Man uses infection in general—bacteria, viruses, fungus, parasites, epidemics & pandemics, COVID-19—to lay the foundation for the next five books, narratives and stories that delve deeper into human infectious diseases. This first volume jumps off into accounts of the Big Bang Theory—the real one, but also the sitcom—the origin of the Universe, from atoms to DNA to us and how exactly it happened. In our journey we’ll explore Einstein and Newton who were probably aliens (he said jokingly), the Roman Empire, British history and all those wives of King Henry VIII, the why and how of the Protestant Reformation, why Pluto lost its planet status in our solar system, what exactly is the sweet spot of a solar system, all the while digging up some archeology, and even paying a visit with Dr. Livingstone, I presume. We’ll trudge from the top of Everest, the highest point on Earth, to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the lowest point on Earth, and LUA in between, the Last Universal Ancestor that gave rise to all life on Earth.

Genetics - The Blueprint of Life...

Jeron Iris

Genetics is the branch of biology that focuses on the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics. It seeks to understand how traits are passed down from parents to offspring and how these traits are expressed in living organisms. At the core of genetics lies the concept of genes, which are segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that contain the instructions for the development and functioning of organisms. These instructions guide the creation of proteins, which carry out the majority of biological functions necessary for life.
Each organism's genetic material is contained within its cells, and it is organized into structures called chromosomes. In humans, for example, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one set inherited from each parent. Within these chromosomes are thousands of genes, each responsible for specific traits. These traits can range from eye color and blood type to more complex characteristics like susceptibility to certain diseases. While many traits are inherited in a predictable manner, some can be influenced by environmental factors or interactions between multiple genes.
The study of genetics dates back to the mid-1800s with the work of Gregor Mendel, who is often considered the father of modern genetics. Through his experiments with pea plants, Mendel established the basic principles of inheritance, including the ideas of dominant and recessive traits. His work laid the foundation for understanding how traits are inherited in predictable patterns, although the molecular mechanisms were not fully understood at the time.

Blight - Fungi and the Coming...

Emily Monosson

Fungi are everywhere. Most are harmless; some are helpful. A few are killers. Collectively, infectious fungi are the most devastating agents of disease on earth, and a fungus that can persist in the environment without its host is here to stay. In Blight, Emily Monosson documents how trade, travel, and a changing climate are making us all more vulnerable to invasion. Populations of bats, frogs, and salamanders face extinction. In the Northwest, America's beloved national parks are covered with the spindly corpses of whitebark pines. Food crops are under siege, threatening our coffee, bananas, and wheat—and, more broadly, our global food security. Candida auris, drug-resistant and resilient, infects hospital patients and those with weakened immune systems. Coccidioides, which lives in drier dusty regions, may cause infection in apparently healthy people. 
 
 
 
Yet prevention is not impossible. Tracing the history of fungal spread and the most recent discoveries in the field, Monosson meets scientists who are working tirelessly to protect species under threat, and whose innovative approaches to fungal invasion have the potential to save human lives. Blight serves as a wake-up call, a reminder of the delicate interconnectedness of the natural world, and a lesson in seeing life on our planet with renewed humility and awe.
