Byron evaluates the highs and lows of the empire over thousands of years. Moreover, he provides insights into trade, culture, religion, the imperial rulers, and the battle with the Ottoman Empire that ultimately ended in the downfall of the Byzantine Empire and the end of the final remains of the Roman Empire.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    What if dreams are more than fleeting visions of the night? What if they are windows into hidden dimensions of the mind, time, and the universe itself? 
    Dreaming the Universe – Exploring the Hidden Secrets of Sleep is a journey into the mysteries of the dreamworld - an unseen landscape where science, spirituality, and the subconscious converge. From the forgotten third of our lives spent asleep, to the ancient cultures that revered dreams as gateways to wisdom, this audiobook unveils the extraordinary patterns behind our nightly visions. 
    Discover how the architecture of sleep shapes our consciousness, why dreams often mirror waking life, and how symbols and archetypes form a secret language of the inner world. Explore the mysteries of prophetic dreams, déjà vu, lucid dreaming, and the possibility that the universe itself dreams through us. 
    Blending neuroscience, psychology, mythology, and metaphysics, this thought-provoking exploration reveals how dreams connect us to deeper layers of reality - sometimes even bending time, guiding synchronicities, and offering glimpses of futures yet to unfold. 
    Whether you are a lucid dreamer, a seeker of hidden knowledge, or simply curious about the vast untapped realm within, Dreaming the Universe will open your mind to the profound power of sleep and the dreaming self. 
    Step into the night. Enter the dream. And awaken to the universe within.

  • Escaping America in World War II: The History of Attempted Prison Escapes by Axis Prisoners in the United States - cover

    Escaping America in World War...

    Though it’s often overlooked today, during World War II, the United States held hundreds of thousands of enemy prisoners of war, and the country was unprepared for the influx, despite the fact that only weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the government started detaining Japanese Americans and foreigners from Axis countries. Some camps, used for training Army recruits, were repurposed as prison camps, and the experience of building camps for the 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans was useful in building camps for the POWs. In addition to the Japanese, about 31,000 German, Japanese, and Italian residents were placed in camps.  
    	At first, there were few POWs because it took months for the American military to get ready to participate in campaigns. The first POW was a Japanese sailor who’d survived the sinking of his midget submarine at Pearl Harbor. The first German prisoners were survivors of U-boats sunk off the American coasts. There were also a few hundred German and Italian merchant sailors on ships seized in American ports (these sailors were interned as enemy aliens, not POWs). 
    	Soon, the prisoners came in waves. A sizable number came to the US at the request of Britain, which had too many prisoners and sent tens of thousands to Canada and the US. The first large number of enemy POWs captured by American forces came at the end of the North Africa campaign in May 1943, when the Allied forces trapped most of the vaunted Afrika Korps in Tunisia (then a French colony) and forced it to surrender. About 280,000 German and Italian troops surrendered. These were different from later prisoners; they tended to be volunteers, with many of them fervent Nazis (if German) and diehard Fascists (if Italian). They were generally confident of an ultimate German victory.

    Rama Speaks - The Teachings of...

    “You don’t need a teacher perpetually. You need them to show you how to get through the doorway, but once you get through the doorway, you’re on your own. Then you have to grow and experience Enlightenment. Then you come back—if you want to go through a higher doorway—and so on and so on. They show you how to refine yourself until you’re able to enter into nirvana on your own. Then no more teacher. Guess what? Only Enlightenment everywhere.” Rama-Dr. Frederick Lenz, 1992 
    We think that the classic Enlightenment of the Buddha is far beyond our reach. What if it wasn’t? 
    As more and more people have found meditation and mindfulness beneficial, there has been little information on the underlying process, which Dr. Frederick Lenz (1950-1998), known to his students as Rama, called “self-discovery.” Self-discovery is the pathway to enlightenment, in which you realize that your ego is like an island in the middle of an ocean. Each meditation is taking a swim in that ocean. Self-discovery is becoming the ocean. While many of the things he taught can be found in spiritual books, many cannot, and none all in the same place. 
    At its core, this book presents the self-discovery process. Rama recorded 120 talks for his students covering it; the book's nearly 200 excerpts are him speaking to his students. Each chapter is devoted to an interdependent group of topics and presents the different aspects that he emphasized at different times, so that you get a complete picture. The chapters are arranged in a developmental order, beginning with the basics and culminating in the samadhis. 
    "Beyond the world of thought and sensorial impressions, there are planes and dimensions of perfect light, knowledge and radiant perfection. Meditation is simply a process of moving your awareness field from the awareness of this world, from the awareness of time and space, into eternity, into the eternal dimensions.” Rama-Dr. Frederick Lenz, 1992

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    What if the fall of Hitler was only the beginning? 
    In The Nazi Escape, uncover the shocking, meticulously researched story of how a secretive global alliance, spanning Vatican corridors, Allied intelligence networks, and Argentina’s highest political ranks, engineered one of history’s most chilling cover-ups. With the Third Reich in ruins, elite Nazi war criminals vanished without a trace. But they didn’t disappear... they were helped. 
    This gripping exposé reveals how Catholic clergy operated covert escape routes known as “ratlines,” how Western intelligence agencies turned a blind eye, or lent a hand, and how Juan Perón’s Argentina became a haven for some of the most notorious figures of World War II. 
    From shadowy monasteries in Rome to the pampas of South America, The Nazi Escape reads like a thriller, but every word is true. Packed with declassified documents, firsthand accounts, and shocking revelations, this is the untold story the world wasn’t supposed to know.
