  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  What if consciousness is not something we have — but something reality is made of? 
  Ultimate Mind Theory begins with a single, undeniable truth: I am conscious. From that starting point, this book constructs a layered system of logic that reaches far beyond personal insight — into the architecture of existence itself. 
  This is not a spiritual belief or philosophical guess. 
   It is a theory — complete with structure, stages, and internal checks — that dares to ask: 
  What are the 7 irreducible facts of conscious experience? 
  What laws must follow from being aware at all? 
  Why do pain, desire, and emotion obey patterns — and what are they trying to resolve? 
  Could our personal struggles reflect a much older story — one built into the nature of reality? 
  Combining deep logic with emotional clarity, Ultimate Mind Theory offers a radical yet grounded map of existence. It reinterprets karma, suffering, evolution, and the very shape of the self — not through mysticism, but through coherent, testable reasoning. 
  For those discontent with shallow answers and hungry for meaning that holds up under pressure, this book offers a challenge: 
  Start with what you know. Follow it to where you never expected.

  This is a Pariyatti audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 157, "The Bodhisattva Concept" by A.G.S. Kariyawasam found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V.
   
  Excerpt from The Bodhisattva Concept:
   
  In original Pali Buddhism, the term bodhisatta is used more or less exclusively to designate Gautama Buddha prior to his enlightenment.
   
  'The concept of bodhisattva, along with that of Buddha and of the cakravartin (world-ruler), was in vogue in India even before the appearance of Gautama Buddha. When Prince Siddhārtha, who later became Gautama Buddha, took conception in the womb of Queen Māyā, a seer predicted that Suddhodana’s future son would be either a world-ruler (cakravartin) or a Buddha. Once, answering a question by a brahmin, the Buddha himself admitted that he is neither a god nor a yakkha, but a Buddha, meaning thereby one of a succession of Buddhas (A II 38).

  Life and Death at Abbey Gate -...

  As the American government began a disastrous mass evacuation of its Afghan allies, a group of American veterans saw the writing on the wall—the people who had supported them on the ground over the past two decades were going to be left behind. Instead of watching on the sideline, they sprang into action. The effort became known nationally as #DigitalDunkirk, in reference to the civilian aspect of the evacuation of soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk in 1940. As America's last days in Afghanistan came to a chaotic end, an ad-hoc group of veterans, intelligence assets and legislative aides undertook an extraordinary mission to leave no comrade behind. 
   
   
   
  Relying on cell phones and satellites as their weapons, they worked around the clock to help evacuate as many Afghans as possible. As the desperate mass of Afghans tried to flee brutal Taliban rule, Marines of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, worked at Hamid Karzai International Airport's Abbey Gate in conditions that brought combat-hardened veterans to tears. After an ISIS suicide bomber detonated his S-vest, killing thirteen United States service members, operations came to a halt. 
   
   
   
  Life and Death at Abbey Gate tells the story behind the story of the mass evacuation of over 124,000 Americans and Afghan allies during a two-week period in the summer of 2021.

  The Myth of Normal - Key Insights

  This work provides a concise synthesis of the key insights and analysis of the book. It is an independent summary, not the original book, and has no affiliation with or endorsement from the original publication. Created for readers who want a clear, thought-provoking overview, it distills the central themes and ideas while preserving the depth and relevance of the work. 
  The Myth of Normal examines the hidden costs of modern life, challenging the assumption that what society calls “normal” is actually healthy. It reveals how trauma, disconnection, and emotional suppression are not isolated problems but widespread patterns produced by culture itself. Drawing on science, psychology, and lived stories, the book demonstrates how stress, illness, and addiction are not merely personal failings but symptoms of a deeper social dysfunction. At its core, it argues that healing requires more than treating symptoms: it demands a return to authenticity, compassion, and connection—both within ourselves and in the systems we inhabit. By redefining health as alignment with truth rather than compliance with cultural norms, the book opens a path toward greater wholeness for individuals and communities alike.

  Music and Globalization -...

  "World music" emerged as a commercial and musical category in the 1980s, but in some sense music has always been global. Through the metaphor of encounters, Music and Globalization explores the dynamics that enable or hinder cross-cultural communication through music. In the stories told by the contributors, we meet well-known players such as David Byrne, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Ry Cooder, Fela Kuti, and Gilberto Gil, but also lesser-known characters such as the Senegalese Afro-Cuban singer Laba Sosseh and Raramuri fiddle players from northwest Mexico. This collection demonstrates that careful historical and ethnographic analysis of global music can show us how globalization operates and what, if anything, we as consumers have to do with it.
