  The publication of Power vs. Force by Sir David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., reveals to the general public secret information heretofore only shared by the author with certain Nobelists and world leaders. 
  Analyzing the basic nature of human thought and consciousness itself, the author makes available to everyone the key to penetrating the last barrier to the advancement of civilization and science and resolving the most crucial of all human dilemmas: how to instantly determine the truth or falsehood of any statement or supposed fact. 
  All human endeavors have the common goal of understanding or influencing human experience. To this end, man has developed numerous descriptive and analytical disciplines: morality, philosophy, psychology, and so on. Regardless of what branch of inquiry one starts from (philosophy, political theory, theology) all avenues of investigation eventually converge at a common meeting point: the quest for an organized understanding of the nature of pure consciousness. 
  To explain that which is simple can be difficult indeed. Much of this book is devoted to the process of making the simple obvious. If we can understand even one simple thing in depth, we will have greatly expanded our capacity for comprehending the nature of the universe and life itself.

  ***
  Shadowy geniuses whispering, Rasputin-like, into the ears of our elected politicians under a cloak of secrecy, or a crucial but undervalued cog in the machinery of government? … Or just a rag-tag band of weirdos and misfits?
  Despite the acres of speculation devoted to special advisers from Alastair Campbell to Dominic Cummings, their role is much misunderstood. Who are the people Piers Morgan once called 'these miserable little creatures' and just how much influence do they have?
  Peter Cardwell served as SpAd to four Cabinet ministers, acting as media adviser, political fixer, troubleshooter and occasional wardrobe consultant. In this candid, compelling and frequently hilarious insider account, he reveals what the job really involves, from dealing with counter-terror emergencies in Cobra to explaining to the Justice Secretary what a dental dam is, to having your inside leg measured in a government office.
  Packed with advice on navigating the perks and pitfalls of the job, The Secret Life of Special Advisers will inform and entertain anyone who has ever wondered what these mysterious figures really do all day.

  Humility - The Path to True...

  Humility is often misunderstood as weakness or self-deprecation, but in truth, it is a powerful and essential quality that can transform individuals and their relationships. At its core, humility is the ability to recognize and accept one's limitations while maintaining a genuine respect for others. It involves an understanding that we are all connected and that our worth is not determined by our achievements or status, but by our ability to serve others and contribute to the greater good. 
  True humility begins with self-awareness. It’s about knowing your strengths and weaknesses without letting either define you. Humble individuals don’t boast about their accomplishments or dismiss their abilities. Instead, they are grounded in their reality, understanding that personal growth and development are ongoing processes. Humility isn’t a state of perfection, but an attitude of openness, learning, and growth. 
  In its essence, humility is an antidote to arrogance and pride. It reminds us that no matter how successful or skilled we become, we are never above others. Humility invites us to listen before speaking, to help before expecting help, and to learn from everyone we encounter. It’s about putting the needs of others before our own desires and understanding that true greatness lies not in what we achieve but in how we uplift those around us.
