Book Description
Each individual is equally unique and totally irreplaceable and so are their thoughts! A part of us, is perhaps reflected in our diary A percentage, could be found on the smart phone memory! We are not only represented by our physicality Each of us are more than what we can feel or see. Within the depths of our heart All carry a neutron star’s spark; Complex algorithms, plotted in flowcharts linear We are beyond anything to compare. A compiled edition of our overlapping stories I am a part of you and you are a part of me Someday, when we transfer our consciousness into eternity That day perhaps, we can comprehend, what exactly are we!

Four Thousand Weeks
Author: Oliver Burkeman
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374715246
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Provocative and appealing . . . well worth your extremely limited time." —Barbara Spindel, The Wall Street Journal The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks. Nobody needs telling there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and “life hacks” to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks. Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern fixation on “getting everything done,” Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how many of the unhelpful ways we’ve come to think about time aren’t inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we’ve made as individuals and as a society—and that we could do things differently.

Conundrum
Author: Vicki Weaver
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1504314832
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Vicki Weaver let the pen rest over the clean new page. It only took an instant, a moment of reflection to decide to let the pen go free—and it started to write. There was no visible ghoul, no white sheets with holes in it, no howling and rattling of chains, just a gentle pressure on her hand. She didn’t have a clue what was going to be written next, and she felt as if she were in the head of a cranky Germanic woman. “What the hell! Who are you?” she demanded. “Molhellor Layaddey,” the pen wrote. “What are you?” she asked. “Spirit guide,” the pen responded. The encounter left her wondering about her sanity, as well as who—or what— she contacted. Was it aliens, God, or ghosts? In Conundrum, she shares her story and how she sought the truth to an event so bizarre that it haunts her to this day. Along the way, she celebrates lesbian love, seeks answers to questions about mental health, and finds solace in prayer and intuition.

The Chaos Conundrum
Author: Aaron John Gulyas
Publisher: Andrews UK Limited
ISBN: 0991697596
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
In "The Chaos Conundrum," historian Aaron John Gulyas examines how the paranormal has intersected and influenced our culture in myriad ways, from the conspiracy beliefs of William Cooper and Exopolitics to the challenge that the stories of Gray Barker presented to our concept of self and time. He looks at the maelstrom of personalities, agendas, impressions, data, confusion, and contradictions that can be found in the world of the weird, and demonstrates how they have become an integral part of our lives, whether in the form of flying saucers, hauntings, religious revelations, psychic abilities, or dozens of other guises. Gulyas delves into the stories of the people who have attempted to create order out of the chaos. Along the way he recounts his own journey from enthusiastic believer in the "shadow government" and their underground bases to jaded academic skeptic, and then finally to someone who thinks there might just be something to the paranormal after all... but not what we have been led to expect or believe!

A small group of men and women meet in wartime to journey on a path that crosses time and space boundaries.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Amanda Childs, Mainville attorney and organist at St. Catherine's Episcopal Church, was happy. Exonerated of charges of federal criminal conspiracy, embezzlement and money laundering, she has just become engaged to Jon Connor, the FBI agent who was investigating the case. Her friend and law partner Ralph Carmichael is getting married. However, just as things seem to be going so well, she is felled with the news that William Barnes, Sr., the head of the conspiracy that took the life of her husband Andrew and almost cost hers as well, is fighting the charges, and intends as his defense to again pin the blame upon her. She renounces her engagement, despite Jon's protests, to keep Connor's integrity intact. She informs him that his credibility on the stand would be tainted if the jury is informed he is dating and engaged to the former prime suspect in the case. She painfully resolves, for the sake of Andy's memory, that nothing will hinder the prosecution and conviction of Barnes. In the meantime an old childhood friend faces charges that he murdered his wife. Amanda steps in to defend her friend, and in so doing is thrown in constant close proximity with another lifelong friend. The contact resurrects old memories and repressed feelings between them. While still reeling about the revelations of her own paternity, Amanda suddenly learns that her deceased husband Andrew's past is shrouded in mystery. All her past doubts about Andrew's love for her are revisited, when it is learned that he kept certain personal matters secret from her. In the meantime she is being shadowed, and is accosted by a newspaper reporter about to leak the story of Andrew's famous father. Just as Amanda seemingly sees light at the end of the tunnel and makes crucial decisions regarding her future happiness, she is mired in suspicion of murder. The evidence clearly points to her as the perpetrator. Her liberty and very life become in jeopardy, and she must rely upon others to try to save her from impending doom.
