It examines why there is no middle ground between self and truth, and how the voice you listen to when no one is watching eventually becomes who you are. Inspired by the book The Way of Peace.

Book Introduction: My Years as a Taoist Priest Part One: The Opening - Born with a "Child of Destiny" Fate, Haunted by Countless Ghosts The protagonist, Chen Chengyi, was born exactly at noon - a time that marks him as a "Child of Destiny" (tongzi ming). From birth, he is plagued by restless spirits, and he bears a blood‑red birthmark shaped like an eye on the back of his head. In desperation, his parents seek out a reclusive master in their village - a genuine Taoist priest, who later becomes Chengyi's teacher. From that moment on, Chengyi is destined to walk the path of a Taoist. Part Two: The Path of Cultivation - The Five Branches of Taoist Arts and Supernatural Encounters Told in the first person, the novel follows the legacy of Chengyi's school, the "Old Li Lineage," gradually unveiling the mysteries of the five traditional branches of Taoist metaphysics: Alchemy, Medicine, Divination, Physiognomy, and Numerology. Chengyi experiences all kinds of paranormal events - vengeful spirits, malevolent ghosts, serpent spirits, and the Tomb of Hungry Ghosts. His journeys take him to mysterious regions such as the Miao‑style sorcery lands of the Moon Weir and the corpse‑raising grounds in southern Sichuan, and involve the conflicts between factions like the Moon Weir Miao and the Black Rock Miao villages. Part Three: Distinctive Features - A Sense of Reality and Depth of Humanity The author, San San, often narrates in the first person, as if recounting "real experiences over more than forty years," giving the story a semi‑autobiographical feel. Readers have called it "the supernatural novel that feels most like r

I once lived a life so scripted that even my breath required permission to exhale. Now I write what remains - fragments, memories I cannot decipher, thoughts I was never meant to speak aloud. I ask you to keep my secrets.

"Tell me, miss," the psychoanalyst suddenly moved closer and looked at me intently through the gleaming edges of her glasses. "Who are you?" "In... in... what... I mean,"for some reason, I was taken aback by this question. "In dreams," the woman hastened to clarify. "In your dreams, while running up the stairs, who are you?" "Oh," I breathed out in relief, feeling goosebumps on my skin for some reason. "In dreams... hmm... I didn't even think about it."

William Blake and Jacob Boehme saw true imagination as rooted in living experience, as quite distinct from fantasy, and as such necessary for a fuller knowledge and understanding of reality. Both perceive the significant limitations of reason; that of itself it gives only a partial view, one that can limit and distort our understanding and experience. These limitations have too often extended to the study of Blake and Boehme. Through a close and imaginative engagement with their work, this paper looks at how both addressed the shortcomings of our usual, conditioned and habitual modes of perception and understanding, and how a different kind of engagement with and understanding of the world is necessary. Both saw just how constraining reason can be when it is too prominent and disconnected from our other vital faculties and capacities; how it can enclose and isolate, alienating us from both the world and ourselves. By contrast, for Boehme and Blake imagination is essential, a means of breaking out into that which is other than and beyond our habitual selves. It has a creative relationship with the world, one in which reality is not fixed and finished, but inexhaustible. As the mind expands, so does the world. This paper shows how for both visionaries, the creative embodied imagination places us more fully in existence - in ourselves and in the world - makes possible true reason, reveals all the profound potential that is too often unexplored and unrealised in us, and as such affords us a vital, living understanding of and relationship with the divine. It thus also demonstrates how vital imagination is to any study of William Blake and Jacob Boehme.

In the ashes of a fallen empire, one man carries the shadow of a thousand betrayals. The Supreme Imperium is no more. In its place rises the Supremacium-a cabal of zealots and conspirators who have erased history, silenced the old guard, and chained the Verge Galaxies under their tribute laws. Regent Thadeus Galantine, master of the Galactic Pantheon, rules with a hand as heavy as the void. Galek Kane Thaeron, once Lord Marshall of the First Fleet and heir of a noble house, has been cast down as a traitor. For ten Tetherhadron Cycles he has rotted in the prison-world of Perilion Prime, stripped of title, honor, and hope. But Kane's fall was no accident-it was a purge, meant to bury the truth of a murdered Emperor, a lost heir, and the vanishing of the Imperial Memorium itself. Now, with the aid of a cunning spy and a haunted psionic pilot, Kane escapes into the storm of rebellion. On the edges of the Verge he must forge unlikely alliances, uncover forbidden archives, and confront the mysteries the Supremacium has tried to erase. The fate of the galaxy trembles between shadow and flame-and Kane must decide whether he fights to restore the Imperium, or to forge something greater from its ruins. Shadow of Imperium begins the War-Giver Trilogy, a saga of betrayal, rebellion, and the last stand of empires.

During my journey of spiritual discovery, I received a degree in Psychology, studied mediumship, healing arts, energy work and discovered all kinds of interesting things about myself, like sometimes I know things that I couldn't possibly know, I intuit information and blurt words out that only make sense to the person receiving them. Another interesting phenomena is that I can create healing essential oil blends as well as Mindfulness Meditation Rituals so anyone can find the answers to those burning questions. My biggest lesson throughout the years of metaphysical studies has been that we all possess these gifts, and much more, to some degree, and I have dedicated the rest of my existence to spreading that message. As frustrating as it is to hear, we all have the answers to those burning questions, deep within us and if we find them, we find our truest form of self express I'd long forgotten the gifts I had until a fateful trip to Hawaii with my family. After that, my life was never the same.
