  I Want to Burn this Place Down -...

  A debut essay collection by the inimitable cultural critic Maris Kreizman—an introspective, searing account of the life experiences that have pushed this former “good Democrat” even further to the political left 
  At the heart of this funny, acerbic, and bravely honest book of essays is Maris Kreizman, a former rule follower and ambition monster who once believed the following truths to be self-evident: that working very hard would lead to admission to a good college, which would lead to a good job at a good company, which would then lead to personal fulfillment and a sense of purpose, along with adequate health care and eventual home ownership and plenty of money waiting in a retirement account. Like any good Democrat and feminist, she believed that if she just worked hard and played by the rules, she was guaranteed a safe and comfortable life. 
  Now in her forties, the only thing Maris Kreizman knows for sure is that she no longer has faith in American institutions or any of their hollow promises. Now she knows that the rules are meant to serve some folks better than others; and, actually, they serve no one all that well—not even Kreizman. Disturbed by the depth and scope of the liberal myths in which she once so fervently believed, Kreizman takes readers on an intimate journey that revisits some of her most profound revelations, demonstrating that it’s never too late to become radicalized. 
  With Kreizman’s signature wit and blunt self-reflection, and more than a little transformative rage, I Want to Burn This Place Down is a book for anyone who wishes they could go back in time to give their younger selves the real truth about the fractured country they have inherited—and the encouragement to rebuild something better in its place.

  Emotional Intelligence 20 - 3...

  The self is who we are. It is the things that we do with our daily routines. We are different from others, and yet, we are the same, connected to everyone. We think, and therefore, we are. It is life and death—the time spent existing. It is what we dream and hope and why our hearts beat. It is creativity and success. We are defined by what is “us.”  
  When we talk about discipline, we are looking at control. It is the way of moving from one thing to another. It is the ability to see weaknesses and push beyond them. It is about knowing what is proper for accomplishment and how to avoid the temptation to abandon and wander into something else. It is the ability to focus.Self-discipline is both self-control and self-mastery—the centering of ourselves and seeing what we really want. There is a skill to finding what you want and knowing how to go get it.  
  We are all dreamers. Every human has a creative side, and more often than not, this side of ourselves tends to be a bit underappreciated. The reasoning is that in order to show success in the creative, to make our dreams become a reality—it requires determination, drive, and discipline.

  Subconscious Mind - Rewiring...

  The subconscious mind is a powerful and often misunderstood component of our overall mental framework. It operates beneath the surface of our conscious awareness, influencing our emotions, behaviors, and perceptions in ways we rarely notice. This hidden realm of thought is not merely a repository of forgotten memories or repressed emotions, but rather a dynamic and active process that continuously shapes our daily experiences. From habits formed during childhood to deeply ingrained belief systems, the subconscious mind acts as an archive that stores our past experiences and serves as the engine behind our reactions and decision-making. Understanding its workings can unlock profound insights into why we behave the way we do, providing the keys to personal growth and transformation. 
  In exploring the subconscious mind, it is essential to consider both historical and modern scientific perspectives. Ancient philosophies and spiritual traditions have long acknowledged the power of the inner self, emphasizing techniques such as meditation, dream analysis, and ritual practices to access deeper layers of consciousness. In contrast, modern neuroscience and psychology have begun to uncover the biological underpinnings of subconscious processes, such as neural plasticity and the complex interplay between various brain regions. These scientific advancements have validated many traditional practices, demonstrating that our subconscious is not a mysterious, mystical force, but a tangible and influential part of our neurobiology. The integration of these views has fostered a comprehensive understanding of mental processes, blending empirical evidence with time-tested wisdom.

  SUMMUM - Sealed Except to the...

  Summum Bonum Amen Ra

  Billions of years ago, the universe came into existence with a "Big Bang." The creation of the universe is the single paramount event from which all other events precipitate, and why it happened is the greatest mystery we have ever known. 
  On the tiniest of scales, the cosmos reveals to us a universe filled with quanta particles; and on the largest, a universe of planets, stars, galaxies, and life. The expanse is endless. Are we then to believe ourselves alone in the vastness of creation, or to solely occupy the crown of it? 
  In 1975, Corky Ra, an administrative manager for a large supply company, began to experience a series of encounters with advanced beings. His first reactions of shock and disbelief led him to a period of seclusion, yet the "visits" continued, leading him to an awakening. Ra realized it was the purpose of these beings to re-introduce, in a pure form, principles of nature that have always existed and address all issues of existence, sexuality, and death. 
  SUMMUM: Sealed Except to the Open Mind is about existence in its broadest context and delves into the forces behind cosmic rhythms and change. Most importantly, it describes a meditation for developing a personal relationship with the essence of nature. 
  This is the second edition of a work first published in 1988. Make this audiobook your companion and venture to get a glimpse of the inner workings of Creation.
