Addictions and the Future - The...

Valerie Vogue

This book contains the following 4 titles:
Hooked on Tomorrow - The rapid pace of technological and social change has become the defining characteristic of modern life. We live in an age where innovation is constant, and the desire to keep up with it is almost addictive. From the devices we use daily to the way we communicate, everything is designed to keep us moving forward, often faster than we can comprehend. The term "progress" is no longer just about improvement but about a relentless drive toward the future, regardless of the consequences.
Narcissism - At its core, narcissism is a defense mechanism that helps individuals maintain an exaggerated sense of self-worth. This inflated self-image may stem from deep insecurities or past trauma, and it can be a way for individuals to shield themselves from feelings of inadequacy or vulnerability. Narcissists often rely on external validation—through admiration, praise, and attention—to affirm their worth, which means their sense of self is fragile and dependent on how others perceive them.
The Future with Gen Z - Generation Z, often referred to as Gen Z, comprises individuals born roughly between 1997 and 2012. This cohort represents a unique blend of cultural, social, and technological influences, making it distinct from previous generations. Growing up in an era defined by rapid technological advancements and global interconnectedness, Gen Z is the first true generation of digital natives.
The Singularity Paradox - Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from the realm of science fiction to become an integral part of modern society, influencing nearly every aspect of human life. This transformative technology, once envisioned as futuristic and far-fetched, is now a driving force behind innovations in industries ranging from healthcare to transportation, and it continues to reshape the way we live and work.

Shadows of Thought and Fire –...

Martin K. Ettington

I first read about Thoughtforms many years ago. The concept is that you can create a “focused thought” with certain properties from your own thoughts and force of will.  
It is said that conscious entities can also be created in this manner. 
This concept has been around for thousands of years. Tulpas and Jinn also seem to be creations of thought in many cases. 
This book goes into the histories of Jinns, Tulpas, and Thoughtforms which I think are all related and mostly incarnations of our conscious visualizations and force of will.  
Many individual sightings and experiences are included. 
This book also includes a Tulpa creation technique near the end which you should find very interesting. 
Understanding all of these also leads to being able to create objects of power like powerful talismans, rings or other objects.

Witness

Louise Milligan

From the best-selling author of Cardinal comes a searing examination of the power imbalance in our legal system - where exposing the truth is never guaranteed and, for victims, justice is often elusive.

A masterful and deeply troubling expose, Witness is the culmination of five years' research for award-winning investigative journalist Louise Milligan.
Throughout her career charting the experiences of people who have the courage to come forward to police and then look to find justice in court, Milligan has watched how witnesses are treated (or, too frequently, mistreated) in the courtroom. They have described to her how they relive the associated trauma, often years later. Then, she saw this first-hand when she became a witness and was cross-examined herself in the trial of the decade, R v George Pell.
Never-before-published court transcripts expose widespread systemic flaws. And through a combination of extraordinarily candid interviews with defence counsel, prosecutors and even judges, and the heartbreaking stories of witnesses in a number of high-profile cases, the brutal reality of the system is laid bare.
Revealing the devastating effects of an adversarial legal system that can be sexist, callous and too often weighted towards the rich and powerful, Milligan also highlights its failure to protect the wellbeing of the most vulnerable. In detailing these flaws and the ongoing human cost, Witness is a compelling call for change.

Henry David Thoreau - A Very...

Lawrence Buell

Henry David Thoreau was a leading figure in the American Transcendentalist movement and the era of US literary emergence, an intellectual with worldwide influence as essayist, social thinker, naturalist-environmentalist, and sage. Thoreau's Walden, an autobiographical narrative of his two-year sojourn in a self-built lakeside cabin, is one of the most widely studied works of American literature. It has generated scores of literary imitations and experiments in back-to-basics living. Thoreau's essay, "Civil Disobedience," is a classic of American political activism and a model for nonviolent reform movements. Thoreau also stands as an icon of modern American environmentalism, the father of American nature writing, a forerunner of modern ecology, and a harbinger of freelance spirituality. 
 
 
 
Thoreau is also a controversial figure. He was an advocate for individual self-sufficiency who never broke away from home, a self-professed mystic now also acclaimed as a pioneer natural and applied scientist, and a seminal theorist of nonviolent protest who defended the most notorious guerrilla fighter of his day. All told, he remains a rather enigmatic figure both despite and because we know so much about him. Lawrence Buell gives due consideration to all these aspects of Thoreau's art and thought, framing key issues and complexities in historical and literary context.
