No Religion: Consciousness...

Story Waters

Narrated by the author, this empowering spiritual philosophy audiobook contains seven of Story Waters' most popular introductory texts that cover a wide variety of topics and give a comprehensive overview of his core teachings. These texts were updated and expanded in 2024. This is the first book of the ‘No Religion: Consciousness Creates Reality’ compendium. The seven texts in 'The Book of Introductions' are:Chapter 1: Introduction by Seth (as originally channeled by Jane Roberts).Chapter 2: Imagined (about John Lennon, the power of imagination, and the origins of this book).Chapter 3: The Messenger (the relationship between spirit, the embodied self, and wider eternal consciousness).Chapter 4: Gnosticism & the Infinite Library (how the Gnostic/channeling process works).Chapter 5: Loving Unconsciousness (how we form our mortal self through the use of selective unconsciousness).Chapter 6: Open Your Mind (an invitation for you to have your own adventure in consciousness)."These texts have been drawn from two decades of writing — from in-depth, formal spiritual philosophy … to accessible short-form articles ... to stream-of-consciousness texts … to adapted transcripts of my spoken messages. They describe a belief system that has evolved from receiving thousands of hours of gnostic communication/channeling from the wider reality — the non-physical, timeless state of consciousness the human experience continually births from. These beliefs outline how all truth is subjective & how we are all vessels of experience. Along with your current life experiences, your diverse ‘contents’ include the other lifetimes that were instrumental in forming your intention for this life. The reality you are creating must be met & integrated, regardless of whether you identify its contents as positive or negative. It is a gift of self-transformation you have given to yourself." - from Chapter 1: Introduction by Seth.

Double Agent Balloon - Dickie...

David Tremain

Dickie Metcalfe was not your typical secret agent, but he was larger than life in more ways than one. Unlike many other agents who were part of the Double Cross System during the Second World War, he did not defect; nor was he blackmailed into becoming a spy. Instead, using his father's connection with Sir Vernon Kell, the first director of MI5, Metcalfe volunteered his services. 
 
 
 
Recently cashiered from his infantry regiment, he had an ulterior motive—by supplying MI5 with tidbits of information about weapons and arms deals in his newfound profession as an arms dealer, he hoped they would be able to help him get his commission reinstated. Metcalfe became BALLOON, a sub-agent of double agent TRICYCLE's Yugoslav spy ring. 
 
 
 
Concurrent with his spying activities, he collaborated with the coinventor of the Bren gun to develop a new submachine gun for British forces. After the war, he was also a celebrated motor racing driver and continued to compete until shortly before his death. His success as a double-cross agent in the eyes of both his masters—British and German—is examined in this book, using official documents as a primary source.

Small Medium Large - How...

Colleen A. Dunlavy

We live in a world of seemingly limitless consumer choice. Yet, as every shopper knows without thinking about it, many everyday goods—from beds to batteries to printer paper—are available in a finite number of "standard sizes." What makes these sizes "standard" is an agreement among competing firms to make or sell products with the same limited dimensions. But how did firms—often hotly competing firms—reach such collective agreements? 
 
 
 
In exploring this question, Colleen Dunlavy puts the history of mass production and distribution in an entirely new light. She reveals that, despite the widely publicized model offered by Henry Ford, mass production techniques did not naturally diffuse throughout the US economy. On the contrary, formidable market forces blocked their diffusion. It was only under the cover of collectively agreed-upon, industry-wide standard sizes—orchestrated by the federal government—that competing firms were able to break free of market forces and transition to mass production and distribution. Without government promotion of standard sizes, the twentieth-century American variety of capitalism would have looked markedly less "Fordist." 
 
 
 
Small, Medium, Large will make all of us think differently about the everyday consumer choices we take for granted.
