Book #6 in Steve White's exciting Jason Thanou series. Jason and his team from the Temporal Regulatory Authority must travel to late 20th century Earth to prevent a device that allows its user to see back in time from falling into the hands of the Transhumanist Underground. Jason Thanou has fought for the continued existence of humanity across the centuries. As a special operations officer of the Temporal Regulatory Authority, he’s traveled though time to thwart the Transhumanists—genetically and mechanically enhanced beings that seek to destroy humanity—and their alien allies, the Teloi. But for all his work, the Transhumanist Underground has never been defeated. In possession of the same time travel technology as the Temporal Regulatory Authority, the Transhumanists have been busy planting “time bombs” throughout recorded history. Time bombs that are set to go off on The Day, when the secret history the Transhumanists have planted will be revealed, resulting in the overthrow of humanity. Now, Jason Thanou, along with fellow TRA agents Alexandre Mondrago and Father Julian Casinde, must travel through Earth’s bloody history to ensure the survival of the human race. They’ll find themselves in Italy, two days before the death of Pope John Paul I. Father Casinde has reason to believe that something much more sinister than a simple heart attack is behind the death of the Holy Father. Racing against—and through—time, Jason and his fellow officers must defeat the Transhumanists and their Teloi allies. Meanwhile, back in Jason’s home time of the 24th century, The Day grows ever closer! At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Trailing the rut impressed on the sands of time by the rolling wheel of history, I stepped outside the neat edge of protocol, and dissect into characters shared in human societies from the viewpoint of an African setting! This view anchors on a deliberate effort to explore into African mythology, exposing its strengths and pitfalls and an attempt to remodel a culturally-rooted belief system into a modern and more egalitarian societal ideology. This work is done in retrospect back to the fore, looking at how the African setting was and where it is now and trying to define the transformation in its value systems, and the general response of people when given the opportunity to take decisions for a change in their conditions! I have painted a hypothetical picture of a village Ileamo which is a fair demographic reflection of the Nigerian cultural terrain. This model is an apt analogue of what is obtainable in most human societies, although in varying degrees, particularly the developing world! This work reflects a panoply of cultures in view of the variegated ethnic and cultural diversities in any African setting as in other cultures! The play also strongly reflects a transition from cultural dogmas to a societal value based on facts. The peoples present determination to cross check all cultural dogmas with real and practicable facts. I feel this is where African settings are now, as do other cultural settings. However, this play is more of an eye-opener to better understanding of the rich cultural heritage of Africans and the need to appreciate the strengths of the ancient traditional institutions and all the transformation they have undergone but more importantly, how the present drive for personal gain at the expense of human value, good sense and the common good has seriously eroded into a once rich cultural heritage to one based on kick backs. Hence, the reason for the recent rat-race for materialism! It also pictures how the ancient traditional institutions played on the ignorance and absolute loyalty of subjects to pervert truth and justice. Thus, I have decided to employ the use of praise chants, drumming and dance in the body of the play as this is central to the African life and in order to portray the spirit behind the inspiration of the write up. The rhythms of the drums synchronized with the praise chants. However, since plays can very rarely be produced without necessary changes to the script, you may make cuts and changes in scenes if necessary! To cast this play, it is imperative that all the casts catch the spirit behind this write up and they should act in a typical African way and style. This play is a lively one in all its simplicity, injecting news life into African drama and evoking greater audience participation and thus, building bridges of understanding into an age-old cultural heritage of which Africa is synonymous with! Finally, as you take an excursion back to the fore, youll discover all by yourself the sensibilities that make a people thick, where they derailed and then understand inside out the scale of the veil thats responsible for the divide between the 1st and 3rd worlds! And then propounding possible hypothesis to decades of tumult that had grounded a people, at least from the brief account of an insider.

This book challenges current beliefs about God and religion, with particular emphasis upon misconceptions popularized by the Christian religion. The common belief, that a God of good is at war with a powerful fallen angel of evil, wherein God imposes irreconcilable punishment upon those who fail to accept a particular set of dogma as being the only acceptable truth, is shown to be not only false, but in conflict with the very nature of God, and Its inspired teachings. Dawn of Truth begins with an examination of contemporary beliefs about God, offering an alternative view that is capable of satisfying the skeptical and scientific mind. It goes on from there to propose a plan or intention of God that provides a believable explanation for the cause of suffering in the world; revealing the true purpose of religion and philosophy, as they relate to soul development. Perhaps the most controversial subject dealt with in this book, is the multi-dimensionality of soul; describing mankind as an expression or extension of God, rather than as a totally separate entity. Within this paradigm, all that exists is but a manifestation of the One; separate only in its temporary state of illusion or limited perception. In Dawn of Truth, the author draws from his own personal experiences, or ascents into higher states of awareness, to disclose the many truths misunderstood or denied by the worlds major religions. The author reveals how all people, regardless of religious affiliation, can apply the universal truths (taught by enlightened masters) to escape their present state of suffering and fear, and move into realms of love, peace and joy. This book outlines a way whereby all who choose, can dissolve their feelings of guilt; experiencing ascension into higher states of awareness through an expansion of love.

Twin brothers Borrial and Vistyral find themselves in conflict. The elder brother, Borrial, who is heir to the throne of Karrondor, has determined to conquer and enslave the known world. His younger twin brother by three minutes, Vistyral, is determined to keep peace in the world. Only Vistyral has the knowledge and capability to thwart Borrial's plans, but his futile hope that his brother will be satisfied ruling the largest kingdom in the world may keep Vistyral from moving against his brother until it is too late for anyone to stop him. Vistyral is in love with Mirtar, who is betrothed to Borrial. But Borrial does not want Mirtar; rather, he desires to marry Lymar, who is the princess of Fulsimter. Before releasing Mirtar from her betrothal, however, Borrial tries to rape Mirtar to leave a scar on her marriage with Vistyral. Every time Vistyral comes to her, she will see and feel Borrial attacking her. Fortunately, Vistyral is able to stop the assault. Mirtar forces Borrial to release her from the betrothal and offer independence to the duchy of Cryarlac, making Vistyral a king in his own right. There are several attempts on Vistyral's life. A series of events kills all of Lymar's family, making her the only living heir. Vistyral marries Mirtar and tells her that in spite of his deep love for her, he will remain publicly aloof to protect her from Borrial, who thinks all Vistyral wants from her is the kingdom of Artermador. Borrial marries shortly after Vistyral, and his father, Lamercal, soon abdicates the throne. Borrial then consolidates Artermador and Fulsimter into one country called Nordlund, giving him the largest army and the largest navy in the world. Having created a network of assassins Borrial sends several of them to kill Mirtar's parents, the king and queen of Artermador; Mirtar and Vistyral, the king and queen of Cryarlac; and the king of Westonisia, whom Borrial has framed for the death of Lymar's brother, the then king of Fulsimter. Vistyral calls a meeting of the council of the kings to ratify the combination of Cryarlac and Artermador into a new country called Surdlund.

Compiled from more than four hundred hours of channeling by Barbara Marciniak, Bringers of the Dawn imparts to us the wisdom of the Pleiadians, a group of enlightened beings who have come to Earth to help us discover how to reach a new stage of evolution. Master storytellers and humorists, they advise us to become media free, to work in teams, and to eliminate the words "should" and "try" from our vocabularies. We learn how to go beyond fear, how the original human was a magnificent being with twelve strands of DNA and twelve chakra centers, and who our "gods" are. Startling, intense, intelligent, and controversial, these teachings offer essential reading for anyone questioning their existence on this planet and the direction of our collective conscious--and unconscious. By remembering that we are Family of Light, that we share an ancient ancestry with the universe around us, we become "bringers of the dawn," consciously creating a new reality, a new Earth.

This compendium of aphorisms and prose poems marks the advent of Nietzsche's mature philosophy. It represents an essential guide to understanding his later, better-known works.

It was dark all over the world and even in Pegana, where dwell the gods, it was dark when the child Inzana, the Dawn, first found her golden ball. Then running down the stairway of the gods with tripping feet, chalcedony, onyx, chalcedony, onyx, step by step, she cast her golden ball across the sky. The golden ball went bounding up the sky, and the Dawnchild with her flaring hair stood laughing upon the stairway of the gods, and it was day.
