The Tao of Spock: How Vulcan Philosophy Intersects with Taoism In the Star Trek Universe by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

About The Tao of Spock: How Vulcan Philosophy Intersects with Taoism In the Star Trek Universe by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

The beloved character of Mr. Spock in the Star Trek franchise has earned respect not only for his heroism and principled way of life, but also for the philosophical path of existence of his people he from Vulcan. Spock, a half-human, half-Vulcan, tries to live his life through the teaching of Surak – a non-violent branch of both Stoicism and Humanism. Through this approach with others, the Trek character shows his logical side, and yet there is another philosophical stance that often intersects with Spock’s behavior – Taoism.

Lao Tzu, a composite character of Chinese origin, also taught his followers how to approach life. Tzu’s Tao Te Ching deals with the areas of nature, political power, social interactions, family, and peace, among the most important areas of life humans must find their way.

Spock, a character from Gene Roddenberry, displays both the collective knowledge of Surak the Vulcan and Tzu the Chinese philosopher, as he helps Captain James T. Kirk and his fellow crew mates about the USS Enterprise as they explore the galaxy.

This book attempts to show you, the devoted Star Trek fan, how one Vulcan helped changed his universe through the teachings of Surak and Tzu in his search for peaceful co-existence even with the most vile and aggressive aliens, and humans, in the Alpha Quadrant.. If not for his efforts, the Roddenberry Universe would be a much more violent, war-like place.

The Quantum Mind, Concepts of Consciousness by M.G. Hawking

About The Quantum Mind, Concepts of Consciousness by M.G. Hawking

This book presents the scientific information and esoteric knowledge that may enable a properly equipped individual to attain unique abilities through the utilization of consciousness in a manner enabling a person to observe or manipulate a physical system without direct physical presence or interaction. Recommended for high-intermediate or advanced students.
“Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms, for consciousness is absolutely fundamental. Quantum physics reveals a basic oneness of the universe. Multiplicity is only apparent; in truth, there is only one mind.” —Erwin Schrödinger, Nobel Laureate
“The only acceptable point of view is the one that recognizes both sides of reality—the quantitative and the qualitative, the physical and the psychical—as compatible with each other, and can embrace them simultaneously. It would be most satisfactory of all if physis and psyche (matter and mind) could be seen as complementary aspects of precisely the same reality.” —Wolfgang Pauli, Nobel Laureate
“The so-called miraculous powers of a great master are a natural accompaniment to his exact understanding of subtle laws that operate in the inner cosmos of consciousness.” —Yogananda (A.D. 1893-1952)
Remarkable advancements in scientific research have provided new windows into consciousness and its powers. Since the development of quantum mechanics in the first part of the 20th century, progress has been made to understand consciousness and its “paranormal” abilities on the basis of the concepts of quantum physics.
The quantum world builds the classical world. Everything in our classical, macroscopic world is composed of microscopic units of energy—the quanta—acting in unison. Consciousness and its various mental abilities are part of that quantum physical universe. Since consciousness arises at the quantum level, the features of quantum physics are involved in, and represent explanations for, all the countless paranormal phenomena that have been observed through the ages, and which modern researchers consistently observe in experimental settings, including extrasensory perception and psychokinesis.
Both of the great revolutions in modern physics—relativity and quantum theory—have revealed factors that play a fundamental role in the creation of what we perceive as physical ‘reality.’ “All matter originates and exists only by virtue of the existence of consciousness. The mind is the matrix of all matter.” —Max Planck, originator of Quantum Mechanics, Nobel Laureate
The personal experience of many of our readers demonstrates that the knowledge presented in this book, when founded on a comprehension of scientific models of consciousness, offers the illumination which, with diligent study and practice, can enable the realization of very uncommon abilities. 2023 Release, 25 Chapters, 42 Subsections, e-reader page count 364 (estimated, actual count varies with the reading device used). Includes a Bonus Material Anthology and Suggested Reading list. For more information, please see the ‘Read sample’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.

A Lesbian Werewolf In London by Lee Cushing

About A Lesbian Werewolf In London by Lee Cushing

It was supposed to be a few hours.

Michelle Fox promised her werewolf girlfriend Amy Hunt that she wouldn’t be gone for long. They’d sworn to each other that they’d be forever together, and werewolves bonded intensely.

Especially when they risked a taboo relationship with a human.

But Michelle didn’t come back that night. She wouldn’t have made it back, because she was caught in a near-fatal motorcycle crash — and as the sole survivor, Amy was faced with one option to save her girlfriend. Donate one of her lungs, or say goodbye to the woman she loved.

It was a life-altering choice to be faced with. But the 18-year-old had already risked her safety by falling for a human — she was ready to make the ultimate sacrifice again to keep her.

But even as her love for Michelle pulled them together, the fate of a long-held rivalry between hunters and werewolves would threaten to rip them apart.

Amy had grown up in the rough squalor of a wolves’ life, but the week of her girlfriend’s accident would test her like no other. Would she be able to outlast the hunters to make the life-altering lung donation for her girlfriend? Or would the omens of werewolves and humans’ centuries-old rivalry hold true, tearing the lesbian lovers apart?

The First Cut

About The First Cut

It’s 1999 and NYPD Homicide detective John Keegan gets his first solo case. Cassandra Lavelle, an aspiring artist, is found brutally murdered in her apartment, Keegan investigates, seeing early indications that point to her boyfriend.

Just as the case appears cookie-cutter, details of a secret relationship with another man emerge. This older man eludes Keegan, having abandoned his residence and has not been seen at work. The lure of the mystery man draws Keegan in and he attempts an investigation with two suspects. He must choose the right one in order to fulfill the promise of justice he whispered to Cassandra as he encountered her body.

This trip to the past highlights the differences in investigation. The NYPD had just started integrating computers and other advanced tech into their procedures. The scare of Y2K nearly ended that, and Keegan’s first case highlights the benefits and fears of digital investigation.

At the same time, Keegan must manage his developing relationship with investigative reporter Elena Moreno. They look to a looming future but missteps by Keegan and Elena uncover the cracks in their relationship’s foundation. By the time the dust clears, Keegan will feel betrayed and alone, deciding to further engage with his investigation rather than deal with the collapse of his personal life.

In the end, Keegan will realize his life and career depend on how he manages his mistakes more than his successes. The partial justice he delivers to Cassandra and her family and the remnants of his relationship will forever guide his life and help shape him into the man he becomes.
