  On February 15, 2010, Joseph McStay, his wife Summer, and their two young sons were reported missing from their new home in San Diego County. Their truck sat in the driveway. Their dogs were outside without food. But investigators found no blood, signs of a struggle, or clues to their whereabouts. Did the family take an unannounced vacation? Were they running away from personal problems? Or were they victims of foul play? 
   
   
    
  Nearly four years later, a motorcyclist found the McStays' remains in and around two shallow graves, one hundred miles away in the Mojave Desert. Their skulls showed signs of blunt-force trauma, likely due to the sledgehammer buried with them. Authorities focused on Charles  Merritt, a close friend and subcontractor for Joseph's company. Despite a lack of physical evidence, scenarios that defied logic, and numerous unanswered questions, prosecutors convinced a jury of Merritt's guilt. After an emotional sentencing hearing, the judge imposed the death penalty. But did another possible suspect, who was ignored by investigators and ducked a subpoena to testify, get away with murder? 
   
   
   
  In this twisting, deeply researched true-crime mystery, New York Times bestselling investigative journalist Caitlin Rother hunts for answers to reveal the truth behind a heinous crime that became a nation's obsession.

  “These pages will be a blessing to families dealing with Alzheimer’s. Sandeep Jauhar’s prose is insightful, honest, and moving about a condition that most of us will inevitably encounter in our lifetimes." —Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for StoneA deeply affecting memoir of a father's descent into dementia, and a revelatory inquiry into why the human brain degenerates with age and what we can do about it.Almost six million Americans—about one in every ten people over the age of sixty-five—have Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias, and this number is projected to more than double by 2050. What is it like to live with and amid this increasingly prevalent condition—an affliction that some fear more than death? In My Father’s Brain, the distinguished physician and author Sandeep Jauhar sets his father’s descent into Alzheimer’s alongside his own journey toward understanding this disease and how it might best be coped with, if not cured.In an intimate memoir rich with humor and heartbreak, Jauhar relates how his immigrant father and extended family felt, quarreled, and found their way through the dissolution of a cherished life. Along the way, he lucidly exposes what happens in the brain as we age and our memory falters, and explores everything from the history of ancient Greece to the most cutting-edge neurological—and bioethical—research. Throughout, My Father’s Brain confronts the moral and psychological concerns that arise when family members must become caregivers, when children’s and parents’ roles reverse, and when we must accept unforeseen turns in our closest relationships—and in our understanding of what it is to have a self. The result is a work of essential insight into dementia, and into how scientists, caregivers, and all of us in an aging society are reckoning with the fallout.

  "Can the brain free itself from all self-delusion? - 11 October 1975 
  • Thought and the brain. 
  • Can the brain free itself from all self-delusion? 
  • Why has the self become important? 
  • Can there be only sensation, thought, and no desire? 
  • Can desire - which brings illusion, self-deception and all the complications of 
  changing desires – can the root of desire be dissipated? 
  • What prevents one from having a real insight? That is, seeing the truth of desire 
  and therefore end it. Is it that we have never asked this question? 
  • When there is no desire whatsoever then there is a total revolution, and that will 
  affect the consciousness of man. 
  • Is there a movement, an action that keeps the brain pure, uncontaminated?"

  The Spiritual Masters - Our...

  I was in an airport on Dec 23rd 2023. Sitting in the waiting lounge I kind of zoned out for a while just becoming a part of the ebb and flow of the people around me. 
  All of a sudden this voice coming from me said to me “WE ARE WATCHING OUT FOR AND TAKING CARE OF EVERYONE HERE. THIS IS WHAT WE DO.” The words weren’t really words. It was more of a strong telepathy but this is the essence of what was said.  
  This experience and my other experiences plus much research has led me to write this book on Spiritual Masters, what they do, and how they help humanity.  
  There have been a number of writers over the past centuries who have enlightened us on this topic and so I included many of those perspectives because what they say has a lot in common.  
  Many Spiritual Masters are immortals too and we deal with this issue here also.
