  France and England’s Most Famous...

  When people think of the British Royal family, and more specifically where they live, the first image that often pops into mind is that of stately Buckingham Palace, with its changing of the guard and the occasional royal coach leaving or entering. Others may think of the royal country estate of Windsor Castle, a favorite of both Britain’s longest-reigning and second longest-reigning monarchs. And there was a time when both royal residences played second fiddle to a much better known home, the elegant Kensington Palace. Buckingham Palace is not different, for though it was originally built as a home of a private citizen, once a king bought it, its future was sealed.  
  	For the French, and those who study their history, Versailles is a symbol of, as Charles Dickens once put it, “the best of times…the worst of times.” It was here that the Sun King, Louis XIV, built a palace worthy of a great nation during a time when peace was, at best, short-lived. It was at Versailles that Russian Tsar Peter the Great studied the palace’s architecture and gardens so that he could recreate them in his home country. Indeed, the greatest minds and artistic geniuses of the later stages of the Renaissance came to Versailles to build and paint, and it was here that Madame de Pompadour and her successor, Madame du Barry, used their wit and beauty to charm a king into doing their bidding. However, as history constantly demonstrates, nothing good lasts forever, and so it was with Versailles.  
  	France, like all European countries, has had its fair share of palaces over time, but none suffered the rise and fall of fortune like the Tuileries. Built by a widow with a flair for architecture, it grew for more than a decade, along with the royal family that it housed. Then, during the French Revolution, it fell from grace with that family and even became a sight of execution, its famous gardens providing the background for the infamous guillotine.

  Motion Of Being

  Once, not so long ago and not so far away, there lived a traveler who was not searching for a path through the world, but for a path back to himself. He listened to the wind, carrying stories from before time, and to the silence that seemed to know more than any words ever could. 
  This book is like a whisper among the stars—a journey of a soul seeking to understand why we are here, where we are going, and what remains when everything else fades. 
  It is not a story meant to be followed from beginning to end. 
  It is a story that finds you—on the very page you need the most. 
  Here, light and shadow meet. 
  Love and loss walk side by side. 
  Questions unfold into answers that may never be final. 
  Each chapter is like a small lantern in the dark—not to reveal the entire path, but to gently illuminate your next step. 
  Listen… 
  you may begin to recognize something within yourself. 
  And if you listen closely enough, 
  you may discover that this journey does not lead you somewhere else— 
  but quietly brings you back 
  to where it all began: 
  your own being.

  The Prince (Italian: Il Principe) is a political treatise by the Italian diplomat, historian and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. The descriptions within The Prince have the general theme of accepting that ends of princes, such as glory, and indeed survival, can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends.

  Operating Manual for Enlightenment: Recreating Your Mind explores how we see and learn to see the world. It takes you on your own journey into what you consider reality and asks how you can make it better. This journey enters those areas you take for granted: thoughts, sensations, emotions, sense of place, and purpose. The book’s aim is not to explain, but to prepare you for change. Change that you must carry out yourself. Instant Enlightenment will tell you why you must focus on this journey, for your own sake and for the benefit of us all. 
  We are at a watershed moment in our understanding of the mind, after which psychology will change. Instead of focusing on thoughts and behavior, we are coming to understand that what’s important is what you can think and how you can behave. The Operating Manual is an intellectual, emotional, and neurological road map to the integration you don’t yet have. 
  “A cornucopia of facts, thoughts, and ideas about what it is to be us. Such a pleasure to read!” — Allan Leslie Combs, Professor of Consciousness Studies, author of The Radiance of Being, and Consciousness Explained Better ("The finest book on consciousness written in modern times, bar none," Ken Wilber.)

  Fall asleep to eleven remarkable accounts of real extraterrestrial contact featuring telepathic messages and encounters that seemed to offer healing, enlightenment, or profound understanding. These stories venture beyond mere sightings into apparent meaningful communication and direct interaction with beings from elsewhere in the cosmos. Experience the profound encounter of a deaf mute man who received messages he could somehow understand despite his condition, and the witness who came away from their experience knowing deeply that all life is one interconnected whole. Discover the churchgoing alien that suggested these beings may understand and respect our spiritual practices, and humanoids who appeared in unexpected locations across the globe seemingly with purpose. These stories include jaywalking aliens casually crossing streets as if they belonged, UFOs parked patiently by roadsides as if waiting for someone, and laughing beings who seemed to find something genuinely amusing about human behavior or our world. From alien street sweepers performing mysterious maintenance tasks to humanoids observed in quiet coastal communities, each account carries elements of attempted communication and connection. Little green men of popular culture made surprisingly real, and high strangeness incidents that combined multiple paranormal elements, round out this collection. Perfect for wonder-filled peaceful sleep.
