Richard Dawkins' brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His theories have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have forced thousands to rethink their beliefs about life.

We are in the midst of a global mental health crisis, and mental illnesses are on the rise. But what causes mental illness? And why are mental health problems so hard to treat? Drawing on decades of research, Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer outlines a revolutionary new understanding that for the first time unites our existing knowledge about mental illness within a single framework: mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain. Brain Energy will transform the field of mental health, and the lives of countless people around the world.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

The real stories behind the scenery of America’s national parks. For 12 years, Andrea Lankford lived in the biggest, most impressive national parks in the world, working a job she loved. She chaperoned baby sea turtles on their journey to sea. She pursued bad guys on her galloping patrol horse. She jumped into rescue helicopters bound for the heart of the Grand Canyon. She won arguments with bears. She slept with a few too many rattlesnakes. Hell yeah, it was the best job in the world! Fortunately, Andrea survived it.

Story
The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte.

This book is based on more than a decade of intense research but is at the same time a philosophical work. When we take a spiritual path, we start out with an urge to do so. After that, we need to gain KNOWLEDGE (Gnosis in Greek), and we start researching what is out there. Still, picking up on Spirit around us is every truth-seeker’s goal, whether they are aware of it. It’s the journey toward self-rediscovery: who we really are, where we came from, what we’re doing here, and where we’re heading. That’s the whole purpose with truth-seeking in the Third Dimension.

Are we living in a simulation? Today, some scientists think we might. If this is the case, how is the simulation structured, and to what end? What is the purpose, and what is the end goal? And even more nagging: Who created it? These questions cannot be answered with physical science only; we need to enter the vast realm of metaphysics and also involve ourselves in quantum and sub-quantum physics. Did God create this potential simulation? Were there more than one God working in unison? Then, who is YHVH in the Bible? Are there more simulations in the Milky Way Galaxy? Last but not least, is...

However, I think it’s because no one has cared to explain this simple concept in simple terms.

The Universe is nothing like what we think it is. Many people today already understand that we, the human soul group, are stuck inside the Matrix, controlled and manipulated by an external force that is not from this Earth. Some call this force the Anunnaki, but I call them the Khan Kings or the Overlords. What most people do not know is how our universe is structured. Where does this external force originate? Exactly how and where were they born? Why do they need to keep us in a tight grip, reincarnate us, and give us all amnesia? In this book, I provide evidence of that the universe we ...
