GRIPPING - SUPERNATURAL - CHRISTIAN FANTASY - DYSTOPIAN - SCIFISequel to Invasion of the MimicsAfter the victory comes celebrationAfter the celebration comes something else!24 year old, Ashia had eventually found happiness, though at a very high cost. She pinched herself to check that it wasn't a dream, then relaxed. Her eyes told her everything was calm, as it should be. Her eyes deceived her. Her mind sensed something else. She heard a familiar voice inside her mind.The voice told her to look beyond...To seek her destiny as the 'Shison'...Beyond the void...A perilous quest of danger, discovery and deliverance. A story where two periods of time and three worlds collide. In a not too future world, the fate of mankind has never been more threatened. The answer lies in one young woman, some long-lost ancient Samurai relics and sacrifice - Who will pay the price?

Mankind has been engaged in creating views of Creation for over 2,500 years. The views have changed as our knowledge of Physics changed. Now we have a new view; a HyperCosmos generated from a ProtoCosmos that seems to give a coherent view of Reality based on Physical considerations. This book is based on creation and annihilation, as it should be, since these processes are at the base of everything. It takes the author's HyperCosmos (HyperComplex Cosmology) and pursues a deeper analysis, extension, of its features by embodying it in a ProtoCosmos predecessor that leads to it. A ProtoCosmos theory is developed here based on a three dimension "pre-space" containing a relativistic hydrogen-like atom that generates a geometric spectrum yielding the spaces of the HyperCosmos. (This analysis also suggests conventional calculations of the hydrogen energy spectrum are incomplete for large coupling constants-leading to questions about non-relativistic Charmonium calculations.) A ProtoCosmos Quantum Electrodynamics is defined with fermions, photons, particle charges and universe interactions.The book also shows that a parallel study (using GiFT and CASe) of HyperCosmos spaces based on creation and annihilation operators also yields the HyperCosmos set of 10 spaces. The set of spaces is generalized to include the equivalent of positron-like spaces giving anti-universes. A new type of space wave function is defined that embodies universes and anti-universes. Extending the space concept to particles leads to a new view of confinement with hadrons composed of quark "inner universes" and a new, more sophisticated, type of Bag model.The set of 256 fundamental fermions in our QUeST space is shown to be reduced to 16 fermions using a generalized General Relativistic transformation to a non-static Fundamental Reference Frame with similar results for the Megaverse and higher spaces.The book further suggests a basis for the forms of fermions and internal symmetries based on space-time.It shows how to create fractional dimensions, particles and symmetries in detail. At the infinitesimal Gold Dust level, dynamics becomes classical. The implications of the dynamics for this New Frontier within individual particles include a classical dynamics, a topology, and dust confinement. Lastly, symmetry splitting of spaces to generate internal symmetries is explored.Thus the book's HyperCosmos explosion of new features from the ultra-large HyperCosmos to the ultra-smsll within particles!

Paul Montalvo vive la peor tragedia de su vida: Emily, su hermana menor, ha muerto; y desde entonces su familia se ha convertido en un verdadero caos. Como si fuera poco, debe seguir lidiando con insoportables compañeros de colegio, que le recuerdan que no es un valiente como los caballeros medievales que admira, sino un cobarde; y entre esos compañeros difíciles de soportar aparecerá uno nuevo: el inquietante Tim Wallace, un bribón de siete suelas de quien se rumora es colega de un tal Merlín y sobrino del mismísimo diablo, y que hará algo especialmente terrible la noche de Halloween. Pero la historia de Paul cambiará para siempre cuando se encuentre con la bella y misteriosa Jane Taylor, quien profetizará su victoria sobre Tim y le regalará el Libro del Poder Verdadero. Parece solo un libro, pero es una espada y tiene poderes, los únicos que sirven para vencer en la guerra del Reino de la Luz Verdadera y el Reino de las Tinieblas y las Sombras. Por medio de este, Paul conocerá grandes misterios, aprenderá la forma correcta de enfrentar a su enemigo, y descubrirá que es parte de una guerra en un mundo paralelo e invisible que espera por él.

Make self-love a new habit in this 21-day guide to reducing stress, practicing self-care, and increasing life satisfaction. Building on the premise that self-love is the key element in breaking the stress cycle, Unconditional teaches a 21-day habit-forming program to practice self-care and create joy in our daily lives. The author expertly guides the reader through simple, daily exercises with a fresh, playful voice that makes it easy to forget these are evidence-based strategies rooted in the science of psychology. Written by a compassionate therapist drawing from the experiential nature of animal-assisted therapy, this accessible, empowering guide teaches how loving oneself unconditionally can free individuals from unnecessary pain. WHY THIS BOOK IS IMPORTANT Millions of Americans today are unnecessarily suffering from poor mental health: 17.3 million of us experience episodes of depression, and nearly 40 million have experienced anxiety. But you don't need a formal diagnosis to feel the crush of this problem. Gallup reports that Americans are among the most stressed out people in the world-and that was before COVID-19 shuttered our economy! This stress impacts every aspect of our daily lives: how we eat, sleep, move, work, and interact with the people we love. Most important, it affects how we feel about ourselves. Studies show that the worse we feel about ourselves, the more stressed we become. After a while, that sustained stress and low self-esteem crystalizes into depression and anxiety. It's a vicious cycle. And this cycle is preventable. HOW THIS BOOK WILL HELP Grounded in proven therapy techniques and written by an expert, Unconditional provides a 21-day program to break the stress, depression, and anxiety cycle for good. Based on the unique healing principles of animal-assisted therapy-and informed by classic CBT techniques-this book guides readers to living a healthier, happier life through science, skills training, and exercises that bolster the key element at the core of every goal: self-love. In this book, readers will learn how to: Overcome the cycle of stress, even when a situation is out of their control Create a habit of living the unconditional love they deserve Use daily journaling to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors Invalidate self-doubt and negative thinking Engage in daily acts of self-love Identify their strengths and values Meditate and use visualization to build self-compassion Incorporate essential self-care into daily routines Develop greater self-awareness Set values-based goals Incorporate mindfulness into daily activities Deal with setbacks Celebrate successes Find gentle, present-centered joy in everyday life

Hope Bonnet did not experience a single moment of human kindness during her upbringing in 19th century Northburry. Being deemed repulsive by her mother at birth set the tone for her treatment by the entire Bonnet household. Abuse and ostracization filled Hope's every waking breath until a chain of gruesome events and a shadowy savior offered her the opportunity to be freed from her tormented life.Her despair turns to optimism as she takes solace in the guidance and 'sound advice' provided by her newfound savior, 'Father.' Will Hope do his bidding and reign terror on those deemed the cause of society's ruination?Is Father a figment of her imagination, or is she possessed by a dark beast that feeds on her unanswered prayers? Sound familiar?

The bilingual (Galician-English) volume New York, New Poems brings together twenty-one poems by Claudio Rodríguez Fer, one of Galicia's most important contemporary poets and critics. The poems' protagonist is the city of New York. As Diana Conchado writes in her introduction, "The author's representation of the urban space that is New York City can be read as an affirmation of solidarity with life in its many manifestations, a perspective which informs his entire corpus." She cites Timothy Morton's concept of the "ecological thought", the thinking of interconnectedness, the awareness of how humans are connected with other beings in the most profound sense, and goes on to say, "The poems in this collection denaturalize the notion of separation, while they emphasize, and celebrate, our shared coexistence." The volume starts with In Pursuit of the Crimson Tapestry (The Cloisters Diptych, New York, 1992), a cycle of poems that centers around the physical space of The Cloisters, the Metropolitan Museum's four-acre space in Upper Manhattan devoted to European Medieval Art, and The Rape of Europa, both taken from the collection Extrema Europa (1996); it continues with the seven-poem cycle Mannahatta from the collection A unha muller descoñecida (1997) and "Rosalía's Revolution in New York" from the collection A muller sinfonía (Cancioneiro vital) (2018). It also contains the answers the author gave to the Proust Questionnaire for the cultural magazine Evohé in 2010. With this comprehensive selection spanning three decades, readers will be impressed by Rodríguez Fer's "celebration of love, especially, but not exclusively, erotic love (that ultimate fusion of forms), and its radical affirmation of life, its ability to overcome barriers, be they spatial, temporal, or ideological".

Many of us may have wondered what happens when we die, and whether that is really the end of any chance of life again. Discover another reality where spirits, God and heaven exist though my almost lifetime of personal experiences with spirituality and mysticism. This memoir focuses mainly on my dreams and visions, with commentaries on how they may relate to current events or personal development. I am not religious, and although not always easy, I can explain without access to a bible, about topics such as God and spirits, in a way that is understandable for our modern times. While not a large book, what it lacks in page numbers this book makes up for in content. With wars still going on in the world, with the possibility of major escalation, now is the time to share my experiences and the possibilities with you.

Is the rotating ouroboros on the vial unlocking his potentially deadly abilities or a well-guarded secret?Fourteen-year-old Razz enjoys the freedom of his single-parent household until his mother becomes ill. Without involved relatives, he worries about what will happen to his sister, Lexi, and him when their mother dies.Feeling powerless, he seeks out Scorn, a drug that can give the user unlimited strength, but its effects are short-lived and the consequences of taking it are high. The user may seem unaffected by it for some time, but eventually, almost all those who take the drug become exceedingly aggressive, using their new strength to tear apart anyone in their paths, especially those closest to them. The government collects the users who have pushed past the limits of their strength and taken a life or lives, and places them in a facility from where only one person has returned.Simply feeling the vile in his hand makes Razz feel more dominant, and he decides to keep the amber powder close to him. He starts having dreams about blood, and strange physical changes make him wonder if he's going through the natural stages of adolescence, or if touching the Scorn in the vile has caused an irreversible reaction.Will Razz use Scorn to help him cope with his mother's failing health, and keep Lexi and him together after his mother's death? Or is there something more to Scorn, and is his family somehow responsible for it?
