Before the Silence The transmission traveled for three million years. It moved through the void between galaxies, a whisper of electromagnetic energy so faint that no instrument designed by human hands should have detected it. Yet on a Tuesday morning in March, buried within the cosmic background radiation that bathes Earth in the universe's primordial glow, Dr. Mara Ellion's monitoring station in the New Mexico desert picked up something impossible. A pattern. Repeating. Regular. Like a heartbeat. She ran the data through every filter she knew, convinced it was interference—a glitch, ...

Ashbourne City Library — March 15, 1893 The candles had burned low, their wax pooling like tears across the mahogany desk. Agnes Holloway's hand trembled as she dipped her pen into the inkwell one final time. Around her, the newly constructed underground chamber held its breath—walls of pristine brick, shelves waiting to be filled, and the faint scent of damp earth seeping through the foundation. She had told the library board it would be an archive for rare acquisitions. A temperature-controlled vault for preservation. They had approved the construction without question, trusting her ...

The moon knows how to keep secrets. It has watched over Silent Moon Isle for centuries, casting silver light across the cliffs and gardens of Moonfell Manor, illuminating the faces of those who believed themselves safe behind its walls. But the moon also knows how to forget—and there is nothing more dangerous than something the moon has chosen to erase. Eveline Arlen stood at the mirror in her chambers, her reflection fractured across the spider-webbed glass. She had broken it herself three days prior, in a fit of what the doctor had called "nervous exhaustion." But Eveline knew better. ...

In the symphony of existence, everything vibrates. From the smallest subatomic particles to the vast galaxies spinning through space, all of creation pulses with energy. You, too, are part of this cosmic dance—a unique frequency in the grand orchestra of life. But here's what makes you extraordinary: unlike a stone or a star, you have the power to consciously shift your vibration. Through the words you speak, the thoughts you think, and the beliefs you hold, you can literally tune yourself to higher frequencies of joy, abundance, love, and possibility. This book is your invitation to ...

The city was falling. Not in the way of surface cities, with fire and screaming and stones tumbling from towers. Thalassar fell slowly, gracefully, as all things do in the deep. It fell in spirals of silver bubbles, in the soft sigh of water rushing through broken windows, in the final gasps of those who had trusted their rulers to protect them. High Councillor Morath stood at the heart of the Amphitheater of Tides, his hands raised to the distant, unreachable surface. Around him, the other members of the Great Houses knelt in a circle, their blood mixing with seawater as the ritual ...

Sarah had suffered from chronic insomnia for three years. She'd tried everything—melatonin supplements, blackout curtains, meditation apps, even prescription sleep aids. Nothing worked consistently. Then, during a particularly desperate Google search at 2 AM, she stumbled across something called "binaural beats for sleep." Skeptical but exhausted, she put on headphones and pressed play. The track seemed simple enough: gentle waves of sound that pulsed rhythmically in each ear. Within twenty minutes, something remarkable happened. Her racing thoughts began to slow. Her clenched jaw relaxed...

Before there was the Knowing Time, there was the Forgetting. It happened so gradually that no one noticed. First, the stories stopped being told. Then the songs grew shorter, simpler, until they were merely noise to fill silence. The old ways—the gathered circles, the shared harvests, the long nights of laughter under stars—faded like morning mist under a harsh sun. People began to measure their worth in hours worked, in coins earned, in ranks achieved. They traded touch for screens, conversation for transactions, meaning for efficiency. They called it progress. They called it ...

Before the word was spoken, before the dream took shape, there was a silence so complete it trembled with unborn worlds. You stand at the threshold now, hands full of wanting, heart heavy with hunger, mind ablaze with vision. But know this— creation is not a game of getting. It is the dance between darkness and dawn, between the sculptor and the stone, between your small will and the infinite current that moves through all things. These poems are maps to the territory within— where thoughts become things, where shadows teach as much as light, where manifestation reveals itself not as ...

The mundane life of Madison Roarke was a masterpiece of precision. Each morning at 6:47 AM, her phone's alarm would pierce the silence of her studio apartment with the efficiency of a surgical instrument. By 6:50, she was vertical. By 7:15, she had consumed exactly one cup of coffee—black, no sugar—and reviewed her daily schedule. By 8:30, she was seated at her desk in the climate-controlled offices of Meridian Analytics, ready to transform chaos into order through the alchemy of data. Her job as a data analyst suited her precise, logical mind perfectly. Numbers didn't lie, patterns ...

The roses of Aethelgard had always whispered, though few possessed the gift to hear them. In the perpetual twilight that bathed the kingdom, where neither true day nor night held dominion, the great Aethelheart pulsed at the center of the capital like a crystalline heart made of living rose. Its translucent petals, each the size of a palace window, caught and refracted the magical light that sustained all life within the realm's borders. The thorns that crowned its massive stem were said to be sharper than any blade, more precious than any jewel, and more dangerous than any weapon ever ...

Northumberland Coast, 1954 The lighthouse keeper's daughter was the first to see it. She'd been collecting driftwood along the shore when the fog rolled in, thick as wool, smelling of brine and something older—something that made her think of her grandmother's stories about drowned churches and villages swallowed by the sea. The kind of stories told to keep children from wandering too close to the cliffs. But Elsie Wren was eighteen and no longer frightened by tales meant for children. She dropped her bundle of wood when she heard the bells. Not the steady rhythm of the lighthouse bell, ...

There are places in this world where time moves differently, where the natural order bends to accommodate older laws. Stillwater Lake is one such place—a mirror of black water nestled in the Cascade Mountains, where no wind has disturbed the surface in living memory, where no fish jump, where even the insects avoid its shores. The locals will tell you it's always been this way, but their eyes dart away when they say it, and their voices carry the weight of inherited fear. They know what lies beneath that glassy surface, even if they've trained themselves not to remember. Some mirrors are ...

In the mystical realm known as the Land of Chaos, magic flows through every leaf, stone, and stream. This is a place where ancient trees whisper secrets, dragons soar through crystal-clear skies, and creatures of all kinds live in harmony with the natural world. The land earned its name not from discord, but from the beautiful, unpredictable dance of magic that weaves through daily life—a chaos that brings wonder rather than fear. For generations, the Land of Chaos has been watched over by the Elder Council, a gathering of ancient tree beings whose roots run deeper than memory itself. ...

Time is a river that flows in one direction—or so we tell ourselves. We cling to this belief because the alternative is too frightening to contemplate: that the past is malleable, that the future is uncertain, and that five ordinary people might hold the key to humanity's survival. This is the story of Elizabeth Manning, Jonas Mellock, Dr. Henry Albright, Reverend Thomas Kurtzwell, and Gina Robbins. They are not heroes in the traditional sense. They are not chosen ones marked by destiny or blessed with supernatural abilities. They are simply people—flawed, frightened, and far from home....

The old manor's library held secrets in every shadow, whispers in every corner where dust motes danced in the amber afternoon light. It was here, among forgotten tomes and faded histories, that destinies would intertwine across the vast expanse of centuries—where the hunger of the immortal would meet the passion of the living, and where love would prove that some bonds are stronger than death itself.

Fifteen Years Ago The beach house at Halcyon Bay stood empty that night, its windows dark except for one room on the second floor. Inside, four men sat around a mahogany table, their faces illuminated by a single lamp. "We all agree, then," Michael Hale said, his voice steady despite the tremor in his hands. "This is the only way forward." Richard Mercer nodded slowly. "The alternative is unthinkable." "The alternative is prison," Thomas Langford corrected, his words clipped. "For all of us." Vincent Cross remained silent, staring at the documents spread before them. Numbers. Signatures. A ...

In the space between sleeping and waking, in the twilight hours when reality grows thin, the old stories stir. They whisper of times when gods walked among mortals, when the impossible was commonplace, and when magic flowed through the world like rivers of starlight. Humanity has forgotten much. What were once living, breathing truths have become bedtime stories, fairy tales, and myths relegated to dusty books. But forgetting and ceasing to exist are very different things. Across the world, in hidden valleys and forgotten forests, on remote mountaintops and in the depths of ancient caves, ...

THE POWER OF "I AM" When Moses asked God for His name, the answer came not as a title or description, but as pure being itself: "I Am That I Am" (Exodus 3:14). In these four simple words lies the foundation of all spiritual truth—the recognition that existence itself is divine, and that what we call God is not separate from what we truly are. This book represents a fundamental shift in how we approach affirmations and spiritual practice. Traditional affirmations often operate from a place of lack, seeking to attract or manifest what we believe we don't have. "I will have abundance." "I am...

The city never truly sleeps, but at 2:42 AM on a Wednesday in October, it comes close. The streets below are empty save for a taxi sliding through a yellow light, its driver oblivious to the drama unfolding twenty-three stories above. In the penthouse apartment of the Merriman Tower, Pierce Watterman stands at the edge of his balcony. The October wind cuts through his silk pajamas, raising goosebumps on his arms. He should be cold, but he doesn't notice. His attention is fixed on something—someone—inside the apartment. "You don't understand," he says, his voice carrying a tremor that's ...

Close your eyes for a moment and imagine that everything in existence—every atom, every thought, every possibility—is vibrating at a specific frequency. Now imagine that your life is essentially a radio, and the experiences you attract are the stations you're tuned into. You've probably noticed that some days everything flows effortlessly. Opportunities appear. People are kind. Solutions emerge. Other days, you feel like you're pushing a boulder uphill. Nothing works. Everyone irritates you. Problems multiply. What changed? Not the Universe. Not luck. Not even your circumstances, ...
