Mind & Mysticism by Topo Mokokwane

About Mind & Mysticism by Topo Mokokwane

MIND & MYSTICISM initiates the reader on a unique journey, both spiritual and intellectual, through the vast landscape of an age-old enigma. Become aware of the smokescreen of symbols that cloud our everyday perceptions and gain a renewed perception of the nature and timeless wisdoms of mystical experience – which may be more essential now than ever before. This daring book traverses great distances; from discussions of the unreality of death and illusions on self-identity, to the current shape of religious thought and the fundamental nature of love.

Discover the surprising agreements between ancient eastern philosophies, mystics, and some of the greatest minds of our times – including Ludwig Wittgenstein and Jean Baudrillard. MIND & MYSTICISM unites modern philosophy, sociology, psychology, and the spirituality of Hinduism and Zen in helping the seeker, the critic, and even the sceptic to come to a grounded understanding of the deeper truths and modern relevance of that phenomenon we variously call enlightenment, mystical experience, or awakening.

Jitsuroku Ju: The Life of Miyamoto Musashi

About Jitsuroku Ju: The Life of Miyamoto Musashi

Told in the context of a life long feud between Musashi and his arch rival, Sasaki Kojiro Ganryu, this epic life story centered around revenge is a version of Miyamoto Musashi’s life story you do not want to miss!

A special full length book and the 10th installment of Justin Hagen’s Jitsuroku series, The Life of Miyamoto Musashi retells Walter Dening’s version of Musashi’s life with updated commentary shedding new light on the life of this influential figure in Japanese and martial arts history.

Since Dening’s time, a great deal more research has been conducted about the life of Miyamoto Musashi, master swordsman turned legend. With such studies it would appear that while a significant portion of Dening’s work at face value appears mainly to be fictional, there still seems to be layers and fragments of true aspects of Musashi’s life intermingled with other personages throughout history. As such, additional commentary, a new Foreword and new Afterword have been added to the original story in an attempt to bridge the gap between fact and fiction to bring historical context to this version of Musashi’s life.

Available for only $0.99 for Kindle!

Only One Death by Alexander M Crow

About Only One Death by Alexander M Crow

A permafree introduction to the dark and dangerous fantasy world of The Lesser Evil.

If he does not find a way to save them, Dhinal knows his people will die. Every single one of them.

The apprentice shaman has travelled for years, searching for the answer, along the way gathering a ragtag band of misfits, each harbouring secrets of their own. The latest member of this group, Strings, is running from something, her dreams haunted by flames and terror.

Together, they arrive in the bustling city of Eastsea, seeking a guide to the legendary and lost Amethyst Mountains.

Kees is tired of the city. She knows it is slowly killing her and longs to seek solitude in wild places, far away from the noise and stench of others.

Dhinal and Kees understand the wilderness does not care about you, it simply exists. Whether you live, or whether you die, is up to you, to your companions and to sheer chance. Winter is whispering in the high places, dangers-unknown abound in the forests, and fractures begin to appear in the group itself.

The truth, Dhinal knows, is that there are many ways to die, but only one death. And this journey will test them all, in ways they could not possibly imagine.

At its heart, Only One Death takes the well-loved trope of a group of adventurers on a quest, then turns this upside down and inside out, demonstrating how danger, secret motives and hidden desires can swiftly tear apart the strongest of groups — and Dhinal’s group is not the strongest. Not by a long way.

This free novella also contains a link to a further free bonus tale, Dust and Death, featuring some of the characters from Only One Death.

The Mists of Arathia by J.N. Ward

About The Mists of Arathia by J.N. Ward

NPCs aren’t supposed to gain skills. They don’t go on monster-slaying adventures. But levelling up is their only chance of escaping the Mists…

Three years ago, the Mists devoured Arathia and killed two-thirds of the population. Those like Rey who survived the mysterious fog were permanently branded and thrown into a new world with monsters, levels, and skills.

Returning to their way of life seems impossible until Arathia’s resident crazy homeless guy proposes a plan that just might get Rey and his friends out of their dead-end village.

When they leave their safe zone, they find that the truth about the Mists is far closer to home than they ever could have believed.

And wait, what do you mean they’re not real people, but non-player characters in a new full-dive role-playing game?

Crossing the Hall: Exposing an American Divide by Lori Wojtowicz

Crossing the Hall: Exposing an American Divide by Lori Wojtowicz

Lori Wojtowicz has spent her life in classrooms, 35 years teaching and now traveling the country as an educational consultant. She writes not of what she taught, but of what she learned. And the lessons were not easy. Her students provided a microcosm of American society, and she was forced to confront the issue of racism in her classroom, her country, and most significantly in herself. A journey in self reflection, she presents the questions she now believes white Americans must ask of themselves if there is ever to be equity. An unusual pair, Plato and Malcolm X, and all the students served as her guides. She writes because of them. The book is discounted from September through October, 2021.
