  In this thrilling adventure in the New York Times bestselling Silver Arrow series, Kate and Tom must confront the limits of what even magic can do—all while trying to bring balance back to the world. A lot has changed for Kate in a year. She and Tom are now full-fledged conductors of the steam-powered, animal-saving Great Secret Intercontinental Railway. Life is good! Or good-ish, anyway. Her uncle Herbert has gone missing, and the worsening climate means that there are more and more animals that need help all the time. How many times does Kate have to save the world before it stays saved?  And her real life isn’t exactly perfect either. She flunked her audition for the junior high musical and got stuck in the chorus, while her archenemy Jag got a lead. So, out of desperation, Kate breaks the rules and takes the Silver Arrow out on an unsanctioned mission, to find Uncle Herbert and bring back balance to the world. But she quickly discovers she’s not the only one on the Great Secret Intercontinental Railway. There’s a mysterious train called the Golden Swift out there too, with an agenda of its own. Is it an ally? A rival? An enemy? A bit of all three?  The question will turn Kate’s world upside down, take her from the Scottish Highlands to the Australian outback to the bottom of the Bering Sea, and lead her straight on a collision course with the mysterious masters of the Great Secret Intercontinental Railway itself. Because when you're a human being fighting to save nature, are you the hero or are you the villain? There are no simple answers.

  This book is meant to raise the individual consciousness to uplift human society, for a happy and spiritually engaged life. Simultaneously, I wanted to share the findings of ancient Vedic wisdom as a philosophical guide to modern seekers of truth. Hereby, I'm presenting acintya bheda-abheda tattva, the philosophical truth (tattva) of simultaneous oneness (bheda) and variety (abheda), which is inconceivable (acintya). 
  Therefore, I'm praying to please my spiritual teachers with the aim to reach the seekers, yogis, spiritualists, curious and you personally, to discuss findings from ten years of searching the world for this truth.

  White Poverty The Invisible...

  A deacon once approached Reverend William J. Barber II in his church study, asking for help with a young woman’s $50 light bill. Deacons, like this retired Black man in North Carolina, have a long tradition of serving the vulnerable. Barber agreed to help but realized the deacon couldn’t see the deeper issue: the woman worked two jobs and still struggled. This blindness to poverty isn’t a personal failure but a result of societal myths. 
  Barber, inspired by biblical prophets, believes in calling attention to the unseen poor. He has met poor people across America who share their stories, asking not for bailouts but for recognition. Nearly 40 million Americans are officially poor, but this number is misleading. The outdated Official Poverty Measure doesn’t account for today’s high cost of living. 
  Many Americans live paycheck to paycheck, with real wages lower than 50 years ago. Wealth inequality has grown, with the richest 1 percent owning more than the combined wealth of 80 percent of the population. Politicians avoid naming this crisis, and myths about poverty persist. Researchers have found that 140 million Americans are poor or low-income, including 66 million white people. Most of America’s poor are white.
