The world is in crises and people are hurting. However there is hope and a light at the end of the tunnel. This book illustrates a way forward and highlights key areas that need focus, in order to maximize the effectiveness of words and actions. This book is about rising up. It is important to equip oneself to overcome the overt expressions of hate, that will come, as a result of putting ourselves in opposition to it. The battles that ensue from a sense of integrity, however, will only serve to solidify a strength of character. By remembering and embracing who we are, and practicing key elements of virtue, with consciousness and thought, we can come to understand of our innate power, harness our supernatural nature and bring about mental and spiritual healing for ourselves and others. It is our personal journeys through challenging experiences and emotions, that define who we are and what we become. The connections we make with others can both encourage and demoralize us. How we deal with others and sorting what to internalize and attribute to our own self image, is a necessary part of the human experience. Meaningful connections can help us through our bravest and most heartbreaking moments. However it is the difficult relationships and encounters that build resilience. Understanding our own stories helps us see what it means to be courageous and gives it meaning. This is a blueprint for how to respond to hate with love, both to save oneself and the world from the growing prevalence and destruction of behaviours plaguing our communities today. It is also a hope that others who are suffering abuse, will take heart and know they are not alone. This book is about rising up and is itself, a vehicle for rising up. A few chapters illustrate real life experiences of people who have experienced bullying and narcissistic abuse. These chapters demonstrate just how far those with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) will go, to exact harm on others. People suffering NPD are not only a risk to their own well being, but are creating havoc and harm to others, to our communities and to society as a whole. The author hopes to show us how to survive such evil and hate, by employing some of the key elements outlined in the book. This story challenges us to live life well, with a pure heart, with an awakened conscience and with great courage, in order to answer love's call to action, to combat hate, in a world that has gone mad. Through our own personal transformation, we have the tools to rise up in a different, more effective way, to change the world for the better. Ultimately Rising Up3 is having the courage and knowledge, in a benevolent spirit of faith and gratitude, with motives that have been purified with forgiveness and empathy, to speak up and tell our own personal truth, in a very powerful way.

A Visual Journey through the Afterlife with Hundreds of Breathtaking Illustration. A profound awakening experience triggered the ability to leave his body over a fifty-year period. Jurgen spent hundreds of hours in full waking consciousness in what is widely regarded as our Afterlife world. Sometimes, these experiences lasted several hours, allowing Jurgen to discover how this world is constructed. He met his deceased relatives, visited his past incarnations, and entered the depths of hell and the sublime regions of the Astral Heaven. He was trained to progress into the highest realms of cosmic consciousness by inner masters, and he kept reports of his experiences throughout, which he later published in two of his books. Jurgen has given talks at Universities and consciousness conventions about his experiences. He released dozens of videos and interviews on television. Being a successful commercial illustrator with a global client base and the most sophisticated tools of his trade made it only natural for him to add images to his fascinating written reports. This book is the offshoot and probably the only work that combines written reports of the afterlife with dramatic and captivating images, a first-of-its-kind, almost photorealistic renderings achieved with the help of Artificial Intelligence.

The Final Fortnight of Years: The Darkening is the third Book of the Romances of the Metaphysicals, and follows Christopher and Sophia, Maxim and Maria through the last seven years of time (the era of the Antichrist), along with their parents and their children. The latter, David and Magdalena, come into their own as characters during these years, becoming precociously romantic courtly lovers as well as world-famous performance artists. Christopher and Maxim continue their metaphysical and theological studies, which include Gregory Palamas on the uncreated Light, the metaphysics of the resurrection body, and the romantic theology of Charles Williams. Sophia directs a master's program at the Institute while Maria pursues her History of the Apocalyptic War (with parallels to the period 2017-2024). The four elders contribute a number of touches to the tale, including Sergei's comments on Russian and American Literature and two new icons by Manuela. The starship Synaxis and its angelic crew are deployed in two novel developments of aeviternal technology and, in conclusion, the End of Time is narrated succinctly, within the boundaries of biblical revelation.

This is Romeo and Juliet as you've never experienced it before...By the time William Shakespeare penned the first words of the most famous romantic tragedy of our time, another storyteller had already written Romeo and Juliet. In fact, Matteo Bandello's stories had been translated into multiple languages across Europe before the doomed lovers inspired Shakespeare to create his world-famous play.In this edition, Bandello's original tale has been translated and formatted for the modern reader. In contrast to Shakespearean English, Bandello's beautiful writing has a clarity and directness through which we hear, as never before, the words a real Romeo and Juliet might have said to each other. The star-crossed lovers we know are there, just as in the play, but their troubles are set in a real Verona, that Bandello knew personally.As the tragedy unfolds to its bitter end, Bandello's heartrending story offers readers a more intimate experience of the anguish and joys that captured Shakespeare and an entire continent. Hidden for years in the ivory towers of scholarly study, Bandello's influential tale finds new life in Michael Curtotti's translation for students and lovers of literature alike. An English-Italian Parallel Language Edition is available at this link or from your local Amazon marketplace: https: //www.amazon.com/dp/0645844608In praise of the author: " ... the most celebrated novelist of the Italian Renaissance period ..." John Payne"Matteo Bandello ... deserves to rank as the most important of the Italian novellieri ... [but none] ... of his contemporaries has the sheer craft of storytelling been shown more convincingly than by [Bandello] ..." Percy Pinkerton"... a true writer, prolific, polished, refined, and precise ..." Leandro Alberti
In a broken world, lighting a match is an act of rebellion... This is the story of Flicker, a pyromaniac whose only escape from the emptiness and oppression of life in a post-apocalyptic world is to set fire to luxury automobiles. Armed with a hammer and jerry can, he wages a one-man war against the Overclass, partisans of the failing regime struggling to hold the reins since The Breakdown decades earlier. He can't remember his family, and his friends have disappeared without a trace. His only companion is fire, that mesmerising force of glorious destruction. It alone gives meaning to his existence...but one night, he goes too far and unwittingly chooses a target best left alone. As tracker drones swarm, he finds himself running for his life, and a chance encounter with a kindred spirit changes his fate. Together, they flee the city, venturing beyond the ring road for the first time, and hope to find safety and the chance to build a life for themselves in the country. New challenges will arise, and new questions will beg to be answered. Where did everyone go? Who has left messages written on the walls of abandoned buildings? And the most terrible question of all: What is happening at the regime's dreaded seaside resort, The Esplanade? In a world without hope, can deliverance from tyranny be found in the head of a matchstick? Flicker is a tale of survival against the odds in a brutal world, of loss and self-discovery, and of love and solidarity, but most of all, it's a story about fire, that double-edged sword that both cleanses and destroys. Praise for FLICKER: "A great read if you like your dystopia with a touch of romance and the promise of a better future. I especially enjoyed the pacing and evocative world-building."- Karen Bayly, five-star Goodreads review "Cameron Trost has crafted an effortless and engaging read right through to the shocking end. I loved the descriptive prose throughout and how he could say so much in so few words. I also liked how he trusted the reader to pick up cues without needing to elaborate. The sensitive consideration given to his characters and their struggles as they navigate the tyranny in their dystopian world is to be admired. Highly recommend."- Pauline Yates, five-star Goodreads review

Simply put, the kitchen wants booze, and the bartender wants food."- Anthony Bourdain.
