For thousands of years those of Ra have sought to teach the Law of One to seekers of truth on Earth who wished to learn of the unity or oneness of all things. This basic law of all creation is buried deep within each of our hearts because we really are one in love and in light, the building blocks of the universe. We are all manifestations of the one infinite creator. We are the creator. We are not learning this law for the first time but are remembering it yet again as all mystics have taught throughout Earth’s history.

What does it actually mean to be rational? Not Hollywood-style "rational", where you forsake all human feeling to embrace Cold Hard Logic, but where you make good decisions, even when it's hard; where you reason well, even in the face of massive uncertainty; where you recognize and make full use of your fuzzy intuitions and emotions, rather than trying to discard them. In Rationality: From AI to Zombies, Eliezer Yudkowsky explains the science underlying human irrationality with a mix of fables, argumentative essays, and personal vignettes.

Astrology: A New Scientific Perspective is not a horoscope book. It is a radical reconstruction of astrology as a testable, falsifiable timing science grounded in systems theory, complexity science, information theory, and modern data analytics. Rejecting superstition, mysticism, and deterministic claims, Prince Gharios El Chemor reframes astrology as a probabilistic model of temporal modulation. In this groundbreaking work, planets are not forces, but geometric reference points. Fate is replaced by probability. Belief is replaced by methodology. Drawing on neuroscience, nonlinear dynamics,...

THE LAB COAT IS JUST A COSTUME. WELCOME TO THE REALITY OF SCIENCE. Every day, you bet your life on Science. You trust the airplane to fly. You trust the medicine to cure. You trust the algorithm to predict. But have you ever stopped to ask why? We are taught that science is a cold, hard monolith of facts—a perfect machine that delivers absolute certainty. We were lied to. In reality, science is a battlefield. It is a fragile bridge built over a chasm of uncertainty. It is a human story of ego, rebellion, politics, and the terrifying realization that the universe does not care about our ...

Ancient cultures around the world spoke of a vast cycle of time with alternating dark and golden ages; Plato called it the Great Year. Most of us were taught in school that the dark ages were real but the golden age was just a universal myth. But new scientific evidence suggest this cycle of high and low ages may have some basis in fact. Now that the astronomical community has discovered that something massive is tugging on our solar system the stage is set for discovering the motion that moves us from high ages of enlightenment to low ages of darkness.

Psychology’s greatest blind spot: itself. When developmental psychology insists infants “fight for survival” or seek mirrored recognition, it commits Adultomorphism—projecting adult cognitive, affective, and relational architectures onto beings without the neurostructural or experiential basis for such capacities. This book names the foundational lens through which psychology, psychiatry, and childhood theory generate their most authoritative frameworks: survival as origin, relation as structure, and the adult mind as developmental prototype. These are not interpretations layered ...

How close are you to the edge? Closer than you think. Every human mind operates on a landscape of valleys and ridges. The valley is your sanity—the deep, stable equilibrium of a mind that can absorb the shocks of life and return to balance. But the valley is not permanent. It can be eroded by chronic stress, sleeplessness, isolation, and trauma, until the ridge between health and illness is so low that a single bad day can send the entire system over the edge.

Paul’s Areopagus address in Acts 17 remains one of the most debated and strategically rich moments in the New Testament.

But what exactly was he doing—and why has this passage shaped missionary thinking for two thousand years? This book offers the first comprehensive, rubric‑based evaluation of ...
