Being the difference I want to see in the world. by JeremieThevisionary

As sad as it may be, we live in a world where the rich are getting richer, and the poor live in worse conditions every day. A world where people have to live behind masks and hide who they truly are, just to be accepted into this corrupted society. A world where everyone primarily thinks of himself and not about what he could to help his brother in need? Dive into my vision, be bold enough to read these chapters, and accept that you may have also been committing these mistakes that corrupt our society and together, let us grow into better versions of ourselves and begin to wonder; what if this had happened to me? How would I have reacted? What can I do to change my community? What if I decide to manifest my dreams every day instead of wishing they would happen? Every single part of this will be entirely unique but all interconnected by one subject, "the human nature". Only together can we change the world, don't be so lazy to think that it is the government's job to do so; take your responsibilities and act to see a change.

Blood and Apples: An Annora Park Novel: Book One by BellesLuckyMelody

Darkness & Light: The Philosophical Path of an Eclectic Pagan by JAGreene37

There is no telling exactly how life will unfold as it will. My journey seems as if it has just begun, but I understand that my journey has already taken many of years for it to unfold as it has to this point. This is only a start to a new path for me to travel. It does not render all previous paths useless, but rather, it only closes the book on one in order to open and unveil a new one in return. It is yet a continuation of a previous story, but the beginning and end of a story in of itself. It only yields itself to the true nature of the story, which is the waving in and out of all stories intertwined with each other with each passing moment. I shall reveal the stories that are hidden and guide the reader to understand the intricate stories revealed in my lifetime, at least one in particular that I find particularly intriguing. It is a story that I have searched for all of my life, and it is a story that is only beginning to take shape. I leave this note in peace. - Jon

The Wings of a Butterfly by DavidJamesLeslie

This is the enlightening and motivating story of two young people searching for the meaning of life and self-discovery as they climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa. It is a philosophical examination and discussion of the pondering queries of our time: • How did we get to where we are today and how do we go on? • What should we do with our lives and why should we help others? • What then, should we do and how can anyone know what is best? • How can we make the most of our time and how can we be a "Good" person? It is a treatise underscoring the profound realisation of the monumental significance that random events and chance meetings and interactions play in the random ebb and flow of the time and space continuum as we veer and turn on our twisted path through life. It is a contemplation of wants and desires, of choices and opportunities, of decisions and timing, of expectations and responsibilities, of adversity and courage and the changes that we go through on our metamorphic journey from caterpillar to butterfly on our unending quest for meaning and happiness in our lives. There are insightful and thought-provoking quotations from philosophers such as: Albert Camus, Decartes, Confucius, Immanuel Kant, Arthur Schopenhauer, George Santayana. There are evoking images from poetry and modern songs, from artists such as: Robert Frost, Leonard Cohen, T.S. Eliot, William Shakespeare, Lou Reed, The Beatles, Pink Floyd. There are literary selections from writers such as: Samuel Beckett, Joseph Conrad, Fedor Dostoevsky, Hermann Hesse, Eugene Ionesco, Franz Kafka. It is also an interesting and informative travelogue describing many fascinating and exciting adventures encountered in numerous countries around the world:

Echoes of Reality: Fragments of Wonders by elungoway

What if your life was just one thread in a vast tapestry of realities, woven across time and space? Michael Woods, a successful but solitary sales manager in a bustling city, begins experiencing strange sensations and vivid dreams that transport him into other lives, in other eras. From the palaces of ancient Egypt to the teachings in China, and even to the mystical rivers of John the Baptist and Jesus, Michael's journey blurs the line between reality and the multiverse. As Michael's consciousness shifts between lifetimes, he encounters prophets, scholars, and kings, each representing a different facet of the human quest for wisdom, freedom, and self-awareness. Through the eyes of Amon, a young companion to a prince in ancient Egypt; Ben-Ami, a boy entangled in the conflict between Moses and Pharaoh; and Azriel, a seeker of truth in ancient lands, Michael must unravel the purpose behind these lives. Haunted by questions of identity, the nature of reality, and the existence of a supreme consciousness, Michael embarks on a metaphysical journey across centuries. Along the way, he discovers that every action, every thread of life, has consequences that ripple across the multiverse. In this profound exploration of consciousness and destiny, Michael must confront the ultimate question: Is reality as we know it merely a fleeting illusion, or is there a higher purpose behind the interconnected lives we lead?

Mt. Sensan-Ghi by kijknietlinks

Follow Estavir, an analogue for my psyche as he goes on a metaphorical journey, a climb up Mt.Sensan-Ghi. This book and its running narrative as well as other short stories were created as a way for me to work through my burnout. This is my first published work of fiction. It was conceptualised during a burnout I experienced back in 2017. With support from family, friends and a professional with whom to talk, I tried working through the burnout over the period of a year. At each stage of my journey I created a story to help me process. It's bizarre, a bit dark slightly existential and close to my heart. Please enjoy.

How to Find Purpose and Peace: Why Am I Here? by tacocat91

Why am I here? What is my purpose? What is the meaning of life? Why am I alive? It seems that since the dawn of time we have been asking ourselves this very question. Kings and philosophers have puzzled and theorized, and paupers and plebeians toil under the sun wondering if there's more to life. Even today we seem to be frantically running here or there trying to get the latest scoop, wondering if someone has finally figured it out. People look high and low, and they try a number of things only to still feel unhappy and dissatisfied. In my own life, the only thing that has made me truly happy and given me peace for my soul is God. He has been the chief help in combating my anxiety and depression. For me, God has been the foundation that I've placed my life around and have built my identity. I write about how I've found purpose, peace and how you can too! Jesus loves you and has an amazing plan for your life! Buckle up, and let's read about the purpose of your life and how to find real peace!

The Chronicles of Jo-kiel by CHRISTsCrystal

Life can be best described as a maze. Just when you think you have it all figured out, you find yourself right in the middle of nowhere, and when you are fixated on your version of what the route should be, you are forced to retrace your steps. And that also is the best way to describe the intertwined fate of Jophiel, who believes her perception of God is the truth, and Zadkiel, who believes he has it all figured out when it comes to God and can lead every other person to him. However, they find themselves in situations that challenge everything they've come to know about God, and are forced to retrace their steps and find a new route. Will they discover a new dimension of God, or will they discover the wholeness of him in the fragments of their perceptions? *** ** *** ** *** #Book1 in the "Kingdom" series
