Over the past twenty-two years, the Great Monk, Tang Tripitaka, has journeyed westward with his three unruly but goodhearted disciples, Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, and Sha Wujing. They have faced a great many trials on the way to India. The disciples have killed demons and spat in the faces of gods, but Tripitaka wasn't worried. He's a good man. His disciples are good men, under their very rough exteriors. They have a bodhisattva ensuring their success. So it's fine. It's fine. ... It very abruptly was not fine. Tripitaka and his disciples are thrown out of heaven for their multitude of sins, stripped of their merit, clothes, and even their names. What are they meant to do now? Where can they go from here?

What happens when the self you've been protecting your whole life begins to fall apart? Dissolving the Mirror is a spiritual and philosophical journey into the nature of the ego, identity, and the quiet liberation that comes when we no longer cling to who we think we are. Drawing from the Thai Forest Buddhist tradition, the writings of Ram Dass and Alan Watts, and personal insight, this book invites you to sit in the stillness behind the mirror-to witness the cracks forming in your reflection and discover the freedom that lies beyond it. Through poetic reflections, practical meditative wisdom, and raw vulnerability, The Weightless Now guides you gently through the disintegration of the ego-not as a loss, but as a return. A return to presence. To spaciousness. To the now, where nothing needs to be grasped and no one needs to be defined. This is not a book of answers. It is an invitation to disappear-with grace.

"Let's start from the basics," he said. When I got the chance to talk to Mas Tono - to ask, to listen, to question, to understand, to be lost, confused, to realise, to connect, to accept, to stumble upon my own patterns of thinking - I understood that all my life I had thought further and further ahead instead of backward. Or rather inward. I had always tried to find my way in the chaos, without ever looking at its construction, without looking at its foundation, at the start of all, at the root. And Mas Tono did just that. "Let's start from the basics," he said. So we did.

Like any other yielding day of high school, the boisterous Cronos Bardo found himself being defeated by the dullness of school and life in general. There was no excitement to his existence that called for a sense of captivating action. Until he leisurely walked home one wintery night and fell asleep on his bed, in his apocryphal dream that sent him to a transcended sable space. His vision was very blurred, all Cronos could see was a wrathful luminous golden humanoid attacking him and plummeting him to the ground leaving Cronos in a paralyzed state of fear. Behind this golden humanoid was a blurred vision man with a long black beard who seemed to be spectating the situation. He approached Cronos who was frozen with fright sitting on the ground. The blurry image of the man spoke with a very charismatic and deep voice "You and your five friends are needed in the world of Arion" after hearing those words, Cronos had awaken from the elusive dream, with sweat rolling down his face only to find an odd bracelet permanently wrapped around his right wrist along with a sense of supernatural energy coursing through his body strengthening him.

If Modi indeed were to be the ninth avatar, besides restoring the purity of the Bhagvad-Gita by ridding it of its ritualistic as well as the casteist interpolations to usher in the Hindu renaissance and social unity, he would rectify the detrimental religious fault lines in the India-inimical constitution. Equally importantly, besides blinding the demographic eye of the Abrahamic faiths on Maa Bharati, he would ensure that they won't foul mouth the Hindus and their dharma. If not, he could be but a half avatar meant only to make India strong so that the external developments on the anvil - the electric vehicle short-circuit in the Muslim oil wells and the Islamic strife in the Christian world - would take care of its internal problems.

What if it was terrible karma, not just a bite to the neck, that granted immortality? What if there were vampires walking among us- fighting our wars, preying on our prisoners, being kept a secret by the government? The answer is, it wouldn't be pretty. Caity catches the eye of one of these vampires- and he just happens to be the most powerful vampire on Earth. Seth loathes the humans for controlling them, and he's determined to exact his revenge. But what happens when one of the things Seth hates most- a weak human- begins to soften his cold, undead heart? Caity becomes caught up between the dead who still walk the Earth, and the living, who bring the dead back to life. Being a teenager just got a lot more complicated.
