A NARRATOR RESUME FOR GAINING THE POST OF NARRATING THIS EPIC TO YOU
INTRODUCTION
Truth itself is one, but what gives meaning to the Observer is only when viewed relatively! For instance, take the solar system as an example. In the Solar System, the Planet Earth is constantly revolving, is a Statement that is an acceptable fact for us to use as base for our own tautologies to build upon. However, this truth holds meaning for the observer only when viewing it in relation to the sun, while when viewing against oneself, the truth that has meaning, is that it is static. Just as capturing truth as a fact is a scientist’s job, capturing truth that is relevant to the observer is a poet’s job. Since, this book is an attempt to capture a Poets perspective the stories are structured in a way that we experience reality relative to the events happening in the Universe of our Heroin Mayuri. What is the essence that makes one a Mayuri? Well first, this name means a Peafowl in Sanskrit. Like a Peafowl when dancing in the rain, excited spreads its tail as a fan displaying vast palette of rich colors in its divine glory, the Heroin too has a deep belief of preparing oneself for all different possibilities in this labyrinth of snakes and ladders every step of life! Enough chatter over the name of the Heroin of this Drama, when this name is just a label for the values that are also present in all people as we all are sailing in the same boat – Earth as her, so wisely we now jump on to the next topic!
QUALIFICATION
Why you should choose me over my competition is because I write from my experience that comes from being exposed to both the eastern and western style of living, where in the first half of my life it was east while the other half of my life in the west, which means it puts the burden of being that missing link that is needed to unite the east and the west!
OBJECTIVE
What we need is that child’s eyes, who could see what is the Obvious, as he laughingly shouted, ‘The Emperor is naked!’…
Why even bother gathering knowledge from varied sources when all of them have to tell the same lies just wrapped in different flowery words? Knowledge received from such sources is not just mis-leading but outright dangerous! The behavior of most characters in scriptures mimics real-life challenges that most of us have to go through. Most people like to believe they are in a situation unlike any, but once they start looking as a third person, they are incredibly surprised to know how wrong they have been! They can now observe how the behavior of characters in similar situations behave more or less the same way, just the names have changed! The only case we find exceptions is when we are dealing with people who refuse to compromise with their Freedom of living their lives that is true to their essence, their ethical self! This literary work will help you identify those compromising situations and then use the techniques that will help you safeguard your heart, in this age where every heart is getting targeted by replacing them with stones, at a frighteningly alarming pace!
This piece of literary art attempts to bring awareness toward uniting the east and the west literally and east and west metaphorically where east is referring to inside while west is referring to outside, uniting to fight all the issues that are threatening this beautiful creation now based on Vedic Principles, else it is not there…
EXPERIENCE
To deliver this message, to quest my thirst for Eternal Truth, like a serpent I shed these mortal skins of gender, color, nationality, taxonomies to experience nothingness, the concept of ‘shunya’/zero in Sanskrit, to see the obvious …

About Sorcerers of Tibet, The Mystery & Magic by M.G. Hawking and Heather Cantrell
Free on Amazon December 26th thru December 28th. Discover the Profound Secrets of the Ancient Zhang Zhung Art of True Magic. Transcribed directly from the field notes and journals of explorer M.G. Hawking’s sixty-two months in remote Himalayan regions of Nepal and Tibet, this book contains detailed narratives of Hawking’s experiences and conversations with a powerful practitioner of the ancient Zhang Zhung art of magic. These narratives provide unprecedented first-hand accounts of her demonstrations of psychokinetic abilities and in-depth descriptions of the apprenticeship and the knowledge that allows the acquisition of such extraordinary abilities, the ‘Four Portals.’
A group of highly esoteric teachings setting forth the true nature of physical reality and techniques of powerful elemental magic, the ‘Four Portals’ and are of extreme antiquity. The first extant traces of the teachings appear as part of the lore of the ancient Zhang Zhung culture, but they are believed to have originated far earlier. Being an exceedingly restricted body of knowledge, said to convey enormous powers, the teachings disappear from the historical record for some 2600 years, not to reemerge until the 7th century AD in the arcane scriptures of the pre-Buddhist B’on religion in Nepal.
The rare esoteric teachings of the ‘Four Portals’ contain enormous amounts of elemental magic, in keeping with their view of the cosmos as a psycho-physical unity, able to be manipulated in heightened states of awareness through clandestine techniques and practices. These teachings are founded on a profound premise: “The Universe is but a mirage which exists in the mind, springs from it, is controlled by it, and sinks into it.”
To understand this premise in a contemporary context, we may consider the following: “As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. 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. “Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms, for consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else. Quantum physics reveals a basic oneness of the universe. Multiplicity is only apparent; in truth, there is only one mind.”—Erwin Schrödinger, Nobel Laureate. “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”—Albert Einstein, Nobel Laureate.
An incomparable book for anyone seeking enlarged knowledge and personal power. 2020 Edition, e-reader page count 374 (estimated, count varies with reading device used). A Kindle Unlimited Book. For more information, please see the description and ‘Look Inside’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.

About Everything Led Me to You
After waking up in the hospital, I just wanted to get back to my normal life but when I found out that the person who did this to me hadn’t been caught, I just couldn’t let it go.
Now I’m left paying for what happened in more ways than one and my stubborn ass refuses to let this person get away.
I usually follow my instincts but there’s no way that I could have predicted anything that night.
I know that I couldn’t have done anything to react any sooner.
If I did, then maybe things would have gone differently.
Maybe I would have never lost a week of my life…
I probably would have never fallen in love…

About A Child’s Fear Of Death
GRAMPA’s Messages, Signals and Semaphores to his Grandson on the Subject of Consciousness Survival after Death.
An exploration of the hidden things surrounding real life aims, about the questions of life and our purpose in being here.
A little book that might be read by parents of children, for children who bring up such subjects. For parents who don’t find a fit in their world-view to answer such questions. For parents who want a concept to give their children, with a new hope in a world of ridiculous ideas, of outdated religious metaphoric dogma, and of scientists with their own dead answer to life as an accident. For the little boy who instigated this book, it is for him when he is an adult and for all who sense there is much more to our presence on this planet than we have been told.
This book might be read as a prompting document. The concepts are moving into esoteric regions often too advanced for smaller minds, but don’t underestimate a child’s understanding capabilities. Assist them where necessary to describe in your own words if the concepts become too complicated. Part two and onwards provides proof as far as it is possible and introduces and discuses uncommon ideas and methods.
The fact that the CIA/Pentagon released documents, shown fully in this book, following evaluation of methods of accessing consciousness beyond the physical body gives substantive confirmation of life beyond the physical. Such scientific validation, even indicating the fact of an Absolute creative force – God, might cause consternation in many dogmatic scientific disciplines.
The book is in four parts:
Part One: a little boy’s serious query about death.
Part Two: the attempt to pass on information.
Part Three: supporting evidence – with the CIA disclosure.
Part Four: the predictive aspects of Science Fiction as a psychic prescience of human capabilities and situations.

Free on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! A short, uplifting, and happy Christmas story set in England – Family, friendships, fun, and romance.
Pour yourself a cup of tea, settle down in front of the fire, and join Mary and Archie Nugent, at number nine Holly Crescent, as they skip Christmas this year.
Their three grown-up children are all busy with their own plans for Christmas Day – Richard’s taken his young wife away on holiday, Susan’s busy with her new boyfriend, and Helen’s life is one big whirl of parties and lunches out.
But are they all as perfectly happy as their parents believe them to be?
Feeling unwanted and a little lonely, Mary and Archie convince themselves that it will be best to skip the whole madness of Christmas and spend a quiet day at home together. No dragging out the old Christmas tree and putting up decorations, or rushing around the crowded shops for last-minute shopping.
But the best-laid plans can have a way of going wrong, so will the couple find that skipping Christmas is not as easy as it sounds? Especially with an unexpected arrival, by taxi, on their doorstep, and with Mary’s inability to stop herself from inviting lonely strangers and neighbours, new and old, into their home…
As waifs and strays, including a puppy, gather in their home, new friendships are made, stories are shared, and drama comes knocking at their door, more than once. And amidst the happy chaos, there might just be love in the air, quite a sprinkling of it…
Mary’s and Archie’s plan of skipping Christmas might not have turned out quite as they’d planned, but maybe, in the end, it turned out to be exactly what Christmas is all about.
Sometimes the spirit of Christmas has a way of working its magic even if you’re not looking for it.
The perfect uplifting festive read, promising trials and tribulation, tears and laughter, and love and friendship, with a sprinkling of snowfall, humour, and seasonal romance.

About Sensors for IOT Applications
In this book, we have discussed IoT technology and how it has changed the entire technological advancements in the future as well. The Internet of Things means billions of devices and gadgets throughout the world that is interconnected with the internet, all collecting and distributing information. Because of the appearance of small and modest CPUs and the universality of wireless networks, it’s possible to turn anything, from something as little as a pill to something as big as a fighter plane or submarine, into a piece of the IoT. The IoT is making the essence of our everyday surroundings more intelligent and more responsive, interconnecting the automated and physical worlds. Any actual item can be changed into an IoT gadget if it tends to be associated with the web to be controlled or convey data.
As even more up-to-date advancements and availability procedures hit the market, IoT development will keep on developing, assisting the change of detached items into brilliant associated gadgets. This pattern will affect enterprises, all things considered, just as our own lives. Be that as it may, similarly to any other innovation, IoT issues do exist. Concerns incorporate acknowledgment, cost, network, security, and that’s just the beginning. As numerous new players enter the field, guidelines are being set. In any case, even with these difficulties, the ultimate objectives of IoT have a lot of guarantees.

About Down the Rabbit Hole, A Mystical Adventure by M.G. Hawking
Free on Amazon December 25th thru December 29th. This short story is an enchanting tale with a message for all ages, that real magic is not an illusion but something we all possess. “Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.” —Goethe
The title of this story, “down the rabbit hole,” is of course from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), a wonderful children’s story by Lewis Carroll in which a charming young girl named Alice falls down a rabbit hole into a strange, dreamlike world. “It was much pleasanter at home,” thought Alice, “when one wasn’t always being ordered about by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn’t gone down the rabbit hole, and yet, and yet…”
“Down the rabbit hole” has become a term used for referring to a situation that is strange, confusing, or illogical, often mystical or magical, and, in this story, an encounter from which one will emerge with increased knowledge, widened horizons, enriched imagination, and a sense of greatly enlarged possibilities.
In Carroll’s sequel to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass (1871), near the end of her encounter with the White Queen, Alice protests that “one can’t believe impossible things.” The White Queen famously retorts, “I daresay you haven’t had much practice. When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
Unlike the White Queen, I do not advocate believing impossible things. But it is much to be hoped that this short story and the anthology that follows it will encourage the reader to consider all the possibilities and therefore believe at least one magical thing—perhaps even “before breakfast.”
This charming fantasy will have you and your children engaged and laughing. Even better, it will leave them with the message that they have within them all the spirit and magic they’ll ever need. Mystical, whimsical, and richly entertaining from the opening scene to the unexpected conclusion, this inspirational short story will transport you to a wonderful place and resound in your heart long after the last works have been read. For more information please see the ‘Look Inside’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. 2020 Edition Short Story. Includes a bonus Anthology Section, e-reader page count 97 (estimated, actual count varies depending on the reading device used). Thank you, and enjoy!

About Search 4 Splendor, “Rated PG-13” & In Kaleidoscopic Color
This book will be free on Amazon: December 24, 2021 through December 26, 2021, as well as from January 1, 2022 through January 2, 2022.
Castles of Literature
Welcome to the Search 4 Splendor literary journey: A journey that travels deep into the lands of “Victim/Survivor Speak” Magic. Explore around the castles of classic literature inspired creative writing–and leave all earthly rules about novels and/or “non-fiction vs. fiction,” behind.
Rays of Sunshine Radiating Across All Kinds of Life Experiences
The sun spills its astronomical warmth. Converging colors into paintings and risk-taking literature. Enter a novel, where the sunshine spills its lemon meringue brushstrokes across even the moonlit chapters it evokes.
Search 4 Splendor, “Rated PG-13” & In Kaleidoscopic Color weaves its literary, lyrical roots through a myriad of diverse terrains: Victim/Survivor Rights, Classic Literature, Poetry, Coming of Age Perspective, Science Fiction, Experimentation, and Outsider Art.
Search 4 Splendor, “Rated PG-13” & In Kaleidoscopic Color, tells the unconventional, otherworldly, and exploratory story of Millicent Splendor, a Life and Literature loving narrator – who strives to honor all Victims and Survivors in the world. It is creatively designed to be “two books in one,” by way of two volumes. This version includes artwork, childhood photographs, drawings, and paintings: and the storyline has been modified from the original (published February 3, 2020), so as to hopefully comply with its author-ascribed, “PG-13” movie rating (or literary equivalent) standard.
It is an autobiography of the author’s nine year old self (written as she got older), and deals with one person’s humanitarian-aspired interpretation and creative exploration of their own childhood-experiences’ meanings – or does it? Or, does it brush by all experiences within life, at least in the abstract, in its united, interwoven hope to offer compassion to all people in this world—both today and historically, of a variety of things: violence, racism, intolerance, crime, injustice, child abuse, sexual abuse/sexual assault, identity issues, etc.
The author’s fervent hope is for her words to reach into people’s lives—to encourage her readers to use their own modes of expression, in order to convey their own lives’ experiences. To show that Victims and Survivors should always be empowered and always permitted to flaunt their words, energies, and creativities, in any way that they desire (i.e., “Victim/Survivor Speak”).
And that Victims and Survivors, along with all Good, Righteous People of all backgrounds, ages, situations, and caliber of experiences (again, today and historically) – that their lives alone, the sacred memories of their lives – and their survivals – are vital to society, vital to every culture’s history, and vital to humankind’s (and every living creature’s) splendorous entirety.
