Book Description
“Pros-pe-ri-ty!” “Right! Abundance is the messenger of prosperity. When abundance arrives at our lives, it doesn’t come only to satisfy our desires, but especially to make us desire more!” “More?” “Much, much more! Desire is the great messenger. Stop desiring is the same as shutting up.” “So I should desire abundance?” “Of course not!” Bruce bent, almost giving her a karate blow. “Do not make that mistake! We end up becoming that which we desire. See yourself in abundance, but do not mistake yourself for it. Abundance does not listen, speak or see, and doesn’t even feel itself.” “So...” “It’s prosperity you should desire! And never stop talking to it, because when we shut up before prosperity, it shuts up before us, and when that happens, abundance becomes waste; and waste, scarcity.” A silence manifested so that she could think about it. “Acknowledge your young spirit, it doesn’t grow old in time.” Bruce resumed talking, having new insights. “Don’t ignore your talents; never allow prosperity to shut up in your life. Where prosperity doesn’t speak, vitality grows old, health gets sick and happiness saddens.” Bruce then started crying. A leaf detached from the tree and fell in front of her. “Why are you crying?” “It’s so sad to see happiness sad!”, he said, sobbing. “Don’t be sad. I’ll cry too...” “Promise you won’t be sad anymore?” “Promise.” “You really do?” “I do!” “Has any leaf fallen near you?” “Yes.” “Read what is written. I want to know too...” She took the leaf and read: “‘You cannot look for prosperity, it is already in you. It’s not about searching, but meeting. For abundance to arrive at your life, you just need to talk to prosperity’” She kept the leaf, preparing to go down. “No, don’t go”, he asked. “Let’s keep talking...”

Naos is bored. Alone in space, life should be idyllic. No more random thoughts intruding on her brain; no bodies clogging her senses.

And the Sun-Moon live closely with Calamity’s plains-dwelling people and their new neighbors, a pack of humans and aliens led by the intriguing ex-soldier Cordelia Ross. With a plague ravaging their numbers, it will be easy to set them at each other’s throats. A little war, a bit of death, and the chance to be Calamity’s only deity? It’s a game to keep even the most fickle goddess entertained.

The Triumph of Babylon 5
Author: Baz Greenland
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476651442
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Babylon 5 revolutionized genre television. First aired in 1993, the space opera series is highly respected for everything it was trying to achieve on television at a time when Star Trek was king. Its use of story arcs and long-form storytelling in science fiction can be felt in everything from Battlestar Galactica to Lost and The Expanse. Much of its legacy has been about its struggle to survive. From the rivalry with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, to the collapse of the Prime Time Entertainment Network, the cancellation of spin-off series, and the failed big screen attempts--the behind-the-scenes details on Babylon 5 are as fascinating as anything we have on screen. This work explores the complex history of Babylon 5, the career of showrunner J. Michael Straczynski, and the behind-the-scenes drama to stay on the air, with many attempts to continue the franchise. Featuring interviews with cast members from the podcast A Dream Given Form, a lengthy two-part interview with Peter Jurasik (Londo) and a chat with Patricia Tallman (Lyta) and others, this book gives insights into what it was like to be part of Babylon 5, chronicling the show's highs and lows and examining the legacy it left behind in genre television.

Imagine a panorama of sentient entities, competing in a near infinite series of dimensions, aware that their existence is threatened - by Reality. In a matrix of 26D branes emerges a 10D brane, with the greatest concentration of sentience known - the Prima - destined to inflict their Evil on the Matrix, and throughout the Anomaly: a 4D brane exhibiting truly aberrant properties: a unique form of complex matter. The Primas' dark energy threatens to destroy this Anomaly. But the Eternals are unconcerned. The remnants of the 4D cluster will be absorbed by their Eternity at the end of this final Cycle and with it, the Anomaly and its extraordinary Life. So, the Purity will return. Chaos, the Abomination, is indicted for Intervention in the 4D cluster, and is banished into Stasis; but creates the ultimate artificial intelligence, Cosmos, capable of influencing and regulating all activity across Eternity. Spanning a million trillion temporal units, the Quest is to prevent the end of Eternity, or escape to Reality.

Aliens
Author: George Edgar Slusser
Publisher: SIU Press
ISBN: 9780809313754
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
How and when does there come to be an "anthropology of the alien?” This set of essays, written for the eighth J. Lloyd Eaton Conference on Fantasy and Science Fiction, is concerned with the significance of that question. "[Anthropology] is the science that must designate the alien if it is to redefine a place for itself in the universe,” according to the Introduction. The idea of the alien is not new. In the Renaissance, Montaigne’s purpose in describing an alien encounter was excorporation--mankind was the "savage” because the artificial devices of nature controlled him. Shakespeare’s version of the alien encounter was incorporation; his character of Caliban is brought to the artificial, political world of man and incorporated into the body politic "The essays in this volume . . . show, in their general orientation, that the tribe of Shakespeare still, in literary studies at least, outnumbers that of Montaigne.” These essays show the interrelation of the excorporating possibilities to the internal soundings of the alien encounter within the human mind and form. This book is divided into three parts: "Searchings: The Quest for the Alien” includes "The Aliens in Our Mind,” by Larry Niven; "Effing the Ineffable,” by Gregory Benford; "Border Patrols,” by Michael Beehler; "Alien Aliens,” by Pascal Ducommun; and "Metamorphoses of the Dragon,” by George E. Slusser. "Sightings: The Aliens among Us” includes "Discriminating among Friends,” by John Huntington; "Sex, Superman, Sociobiology,” by Joseph D. Miller; "Cowboys and Telepaths,” by Eric S. Rabkin; "Robots,” by Noel Perrin; "Aliens in the Supermarket,” by George R. Guffey; and "Aliens 'R’ U.S.,” by Zoe Sofia. "Soundings: Man as the Alien” includes "H. G. Wells’ Familiar Aliens,” by John R. Reed; "Inspiration and Possession,” by Clayton Koelb; "Cybernauts in Cyberspace,” by David Porush; "The Human Alien,” by Leighton Brett Cooke; "From Astarte to Barbie,” by Frank McConnell; and "An Indication of Monsters;” by Colin Greenland.
