Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the obvious facial resemblances between President Obama and Pharaoh, Akhenaten that extends to Michelle Obama and Queen Tiye, Akhenaten's mother, there are other parallels in philosophy, policy and conflict with traditional religious authorities. The religious resistance to their rule is based on traditional plutocratic and xenophobic convictions. President Obama who has been very generous toward the religious right is contrasted to Pharaoh Akhenaten, who removed the traditional religion's state support, received comparable challenges to their rule. Akhenaten's religious revolution was abbre-viated by either death or a staged death whereby he would be resurrected as Moses. President Obama was elected by electoral and popular mandate but faces a recalcitrant majority in the House of Representatives intent on cutting social programs. Wealthy conservative billionaires fund the opposition to Obama while the religious right or so-called moral majority supplies most of the ground forces or activists. Without the full support of these believers” a their social agenda opposing contraceptives, abortion, same sex marriage, decriminalization of marijuana, cultural diversity, other races and ethnicity, other belief systems, etc., the government would reflect the more diverse demographic majority.This book based on numerous insights look beyond the surface and carefully examines the numerous similarities faced by the Obama's and Akhenaten's binary rule, particularly from the religious right. This examination looks into the possibility that cosmic consciousness of the dynastic ruler, and his wife/mother is alive among the Obama's. The binary rule's perspective and policies are untraditionally supportive of women's issues regarding love, beauty, grace, transparency and peace in contrast to opponent's reliance on the patriarchy. The karmas herein that were not completed during the Akhenaten dynasty seem to be in the process of fulfillment if Obama's presidency can overcome the challenges from the right. The fulfillment and preservation of life on this planet is at stake since their common opponents are motivated by a lust for power, influence, greed, narcissism, deceit, self-aggran-dizement, vanity, exclusion and opportunism at the expense of humanity, all living things and harmony with nature. First, the book looks at the reincarnation of peace, harmony and love of all things through cosmic consciousness and karma as displayed in our leaders during one of Egypt's most significant dynasties and its distant descen-dant, also arising from Dogon-Egyptian and Mu roots, overseeing the world's leading superpower. Both have traversed to their rule from lineage, and a view-of-the-world cultivated in Africa and pass through DNA memory and hyperspace to the present. This means that there is a spiritual entitlement through the unempirical 5th dimension of space time traversed through dreams, meditation, prayer and hypnosis. Respective theories and other mechanisms to travel through hyperspace are examined. Evidence supportive of cyclical linear view of time and history are presented. This book presents the exopolitical and exo-scientific argument that Homo sapiens are spawn of 22 extraterrestrial races and Homo erectus. According to the research presented, mankind's DNA coding constitutes of at least five percent that is extraterrestrial, may constitute our intellectual aptitude and control all the other genes similar to how the brain rules the entire body. This biological as well as extrinsic intervention by off-world beings, including the Grey, is highlighted. The Greys, one of the intervening extraterrestrials, are believed to be chrononauts from the future. A deductive search for the multiple purposes of intervention is made. Respectively, are they try to disable an undesirable future and direct humanity to a closer connection with the universal cosmic consciousness.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER “Full of valuable insights to guide you.”—WILL SMITH “Thoughtful and life-affirming . . . a must-read.”—TONY ROBBINS “This book will put you back in charge of your own life.”—TOM BRADY A new perspective on the overused and misunderstood concept of “karma” that offers the key to happiness and enlightenment, from the world-renowned spiritual master Sadhguru. What is karma? Most people understand karma as a balance sheet of good and bad deeds, virtues and sins. The mechanism that decrees that we cannot evade the consequences of our own actions. In reality, karma has nothing to do with reward and punishment. Karma simply means action: your action, your responsibility. It isn’t some external system of crime and punishment, but an internal cycle generated by you. Accumulation of karma is determined only by your intention and the way you respond to what is happening to you. Over time, it’s possible to become ensnared by your own unconscious patterns of behavior. In Karma, Sadhguru seeks to put you back in the driver’s seat, turning you from a terror-struck passenger to a confident driver navigating the course of your own destiny. By living consciously and fully inhabiting each moment, you can free yourself from the cycle. Karma is an exploration and a manual, restoring our understanding of karma to its original potential for freedom and empowerment instead of a source of entanglement. Through Sadhguru’s teachings, you will learn how to live intelligently and joyfully in a challenging world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A constitutional originalist sounds the alarm over the presidency’s ever-expanding powers, ascribing them unexpectedly to the liberal embrace of a living Constitution. Liberal scholars and politicians routinely denounce the imperial presidency—a self-aggrandizing executive that has progressively sidelined Congress. Yet the same people invariably extol the virtues of a living Constitution, whose meaning adapts with the times. Saikrishna Bangalore Prakash argues that these stances are fundamentally incompatible. A constitution prone to informal amendment systematically favors the executive and ensures that there are no enduring constraints on executive power. In this careful study, Prakash contends that an originalist interpretation of the Constitution can rein in the “living presidency” legitimated by the living Constitution. No one who reads the Constitution would conclude that presidents may declare war, legislate by fiat, and make treaties without the Senate. Yet presidents do all these things. They get away with it, Prakash argues, because Congress, the courts, and the public routinely excuse these violations. With the passage of time, these transgressions are treated as informal constitutional amendments. The result is an executive increasingly liberated from the Constitution. The solution is originalism. Though often associated with conservative goals, originalism in Prakash’s argument should appeal to Republicans and Democrats alike, as almost all Americans decry the presidency’s stunning expansion. The Living Presidency proposes a baker’s dozen of reforms, all of which could be enacted if only Congress asserted its lawful authority.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two Deadly Assassins are set to Trigger a Third World War! At the bidding of the US President, Lance Bellinger is ordered back into the field and returned to active duty. His aim – to unite those ethnic factions inside of Myanmar who've suffered terribly at the hands of its military junta. Heeding the call, the CIA's Deputy Head of Special Operations embarks on a covert Black Ops mission aimed at carving out an independent territory for these oppressed peoples. The plan itself may be a noble one, but some of its chief supporters have hidden motives that are anything but selfless. And behind the scenes, these powerful figures are plotting to advance their own interests at any cost, even if that means sacrificing Lance Bellinger. And so it is that Bellinger's mission descends into chaos as he finds himself shadowed by deadly pursuers who always seem to be a step ahead of him. All of the spy's old certainties crumbling – and his sense of security with them – until he can no longer distinguish friend from foe. The whole assignment teetering on the brink of disaster as the dangers multiply, threatening to steal his life away. The same can be said of Mandy Aung, a foreign aid worker who has dedicated her life to the betterment of displaced Burmese refugees. Now she finds herself in the same firing line as the CIA operative as they make a series of clandestine trips into Myanmar. The pair brought close together by a shared sense of purpose and the deadly risks they both face. Meanwhile, a diplomatic conference in Bangkok assumes monumental significance with tensions rising, and the whole region on a knife edge. Designed to promote cooperation in Southeast Asia, it threatens to ignite global conflict and shake the world to its very foundations. Plans are afoot to enact a shocking bloodbath which will have extreme political consequences. A murderous ambition advanced by two highly skilled assassins who are equally capable of carrying the day. With the touchpaper lit, and the clock ticking, it's left to Bellinger and his allies at Thailand's National Intelligence Agency to foil the stunning plot and uncover the true architects of the planned devastation. A desperate manhunt that receives unlikely assistance from a former enemy who retains a burning hatred of the CIA. Until The Karma Ends is a multi-layered thriller that sheds light on the shadowy spy world, with its fleeting alliances and ever-present threat of double-dealing. Acclaimed author Paul Adirex employing his consummate skills as a storyteller – and first hand knowledge of international diplomacy and the intelligence services – to create a stunning tale full of moral complexity and explosive drama. The result is a dazzling work of popular fiction that combines these thrilling elements to brilliant effect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has the imperial presidency returned? "Well written and, while indispensable for college courses, should appeal beyond academic audiences to anyone interested in how well we govern ourselves. . . . I cannot help regarding it as a grand sequel for my own The Imperial Presidency." ---Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. Has the imperial presidency returned? This question has been on the minds of many contemporary political observers, as recent American administrations have aimed to consolidate power. In The New Imperial Presidency, Andrew Rudalevige suggests that the congressional framework meant to advise and constrain presidential conduct since Watergate has slowly eroded. Rudalevige describes the evolution of executive power in our separated system of governance. He discusses the abuse of power that prompted what he calls the "resurgence regime" against the imperial presidency and inquires as to how and why---over the three decades that followed Watergate---presidents have regained their standing. Chief executives have always sought to interpret constitutional powers broadly. The ambitious president can choose from an array of strategies for pushing against congressional authority; finding scant resistance, he will attempt to expand executive control. Rudalevige's important and timely work reminds us that the freedoms secured by our system of checks and balances do not proceed automatically but depend on the exertions of public servants and the citizens they serve. His story confirms the importance of the "living Constitution," a tradition of historical experiences overlaying the text of the Constitution itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 13 lectures, Dornach and Basel, December 4-31, 1916 (CW 173) Although these lectures were given in 1916, they have much to teach us about today's political spin, media distortions, propaganda and downright lies--all delivered by the media on a daily basis. Rudolf Steiner's calm, methodological approach penetrates the smokescreen of accusations and counterclaims, illusions and lies, surrounding World War I. From behind this fog and under the guise of outer events, the true spiritual struggle is revealed. Steiner's words give the reader a deeper understanding of the politics and world conflicts that confront us today through the filter of popular media. Amid the turmoil of World War I, Steiner spoke out courageously against the hate, lies, and propaganda of the time. His detailed research into the spiritual impulses of human evolution allowed him to reveal the dominant role that secret brotherhoods played in events that culminated in that cataclysmic war. He warned that the retarding forces of nationalism must be overcome before Europe can find its true destiny. He also emphasized the urgent need for new social structures in order to avoid such future catastrophes. Political and social changes around the world are moving at a breathless pace, hurtling us all toward an uncertain future. These lectures illuminate much of what lies behind today's turbulent events and the scenes played out on the nightly news. This new edition, reproduced in a larger format, is put in a modern context and introduced by Terry Boardman. This volume is a translation from German of Zeitgeschichtliche Betrachtungen. Das Karma der Unwahrhaftigkeit - Erster Teil. Kosmische und Menschliche Geschichte Band IV (GA 173).

Book excerpt: In New York Times bestselling author Marissa Meyer's young adult contemporary romance, a girl is suddenly gifted with the ability to cast instant karma on those around her – both good and bad. Chronic overachiever Prudence Barnett is always quick to cast judgment on the lazy, rude, and arrogant residents of her coastal town. Her dreams of karmic justice are fulfilled when, after a night out with her friends, she wakes up with the sudden ability to cast instant karma on those around her. Pru giddily makes use of the power, punishing everyone from public vandals to mean gossips, but there is one person on whom her powers consistently backfire: Quint Erickson, her slacker of a lab partner. Quint is annoyingly cute and impressively noble, especially when it comes to his work with the rescue center for local sea animals. When Pru resigns herself to working at the rescue center for extra credit, she begins to uncover truths about baby otters, environmental upheaval, and romantic crossed signals—not necessarily in that order. Her newfound karmic insights reveal how thin the line is between virtue and vanity, generosity and greed . . . love and hate... and fate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the veteran political journalist and 60 Minutes correspondent, a deep dive into the history, evolution, and current state of the American presidency, and how we can make the job less impossible and more productive—featuring a new post-2020–election epilogue “This is a great gift to our sense of the actual presidency, a primer on leadership.”—Ken Burns Imagine you have just been elected president. You are now commander-in-chief, chief executive, chief diplomat, chief legislator, chief of party, chief voice of the people, first responder, chief priest, and world leader. You’re expected to fulfill your campaign promises, but you’re also expected to solve the urgent crises of the day. What’s on your to-do list? Where would you even start? What shocks aren’t you thinking about? The American presidency is in trouble. It has become overburdened, misunderstood, almost impossible to do. “The problems in the job unfolded before Donald Trump was elected, and the challenges of governing today will confront his successors,” writes John Dickerson. After all, the founders never intended for our system of checks and balances to have one superior Chief Magistrate, with Congress demoted to “the little brother who can’t keep up.” In this eye-opening book, John Dickerson writes about presidents in history such a Washington, Lincoln, FDR, and Eisenhower, and and in contemporary times, from LBJ and Reagan and Bush, Obama, and Trump, to show how a complex job has been done, and why we need to reevaluate how we view the presidency, how we choose our presidents, and what we expect from them once they are in office. Think of the presidential campaign as a job interview. Are we asking the right questions? Are we looking for good campaigners, or good presidents? Once a candidate gets the job, what can they do to thrive? Drawing on research and interviews with current and former White House staffers, Dickerson defines what the job of president actually entails, identifies the things that only the president can do, and analyzes how presidents in history have managed the burden. What qualities make for a good president? Who did it well? Why did Bill Clinton call the White House “the crown jewel in the American penal system”? The presidency is a job of surprises with high stakes, requiring vision, management skill, and an even temperament. Ultimately, in order to evaluate candidates properly for the job, we need to adjust our expectations, and be more realistic about the goals, the requirements, and the limitations of the office. As Dickerson writes, “Americans need their president to succeed, but the presidency is set up for failure. It doesn’t have to be.”
