"A Course in Miracles: Complete and Annotated Edition" by Helen Schucman
"In 1965, Dr. Helen Schucman heard an inner voice that would spark the writing of a modern spiritual classic. It said, "This is a course in miracles. Please take notes." Officially published in 1976, A Course in Miracles has profoundly impacted millions of students around the globe and continues to grow in popularity each year. What many students don't know, however, is that Helen's original handwritten notes for the Course—which remained hidden for decades—contain approximately 45,000 words that are not included in the original book. For almost ten years, Course scholar Robert Perry and his colleagues at the Circle of Atonement have worked to carefully transcribe these notes and then edit from scratch a new...>>

"A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence" by Jeff Hawkins
"A bestselling author, neuroscientist, and computer engineer unveils a theory of intelligence that will revolutionize our understanding of the brain and the future of AI. For all of neuroscience's advances, we've made little progress on its biggest question: How do simple cells in the brain create intelligence? Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses maplike structures to build a model of the world-not just one model, but hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. This discovery allows Hawkins to answer important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought. A Thousand Brains heralds a revolution in the...>>

"The Two Chief Motors of Our Existence: Food and Sex" by Clare Mingins
"This booklet explores aspects of the teaching of G.I.Gurdjieff in terms of "the two chief motors" of our existence, the digestive function and the sexual function. The contents were originally published as a paper in the Proceedings of the 2010 "All and Everything International Humanities Conference." According to Gurdjieff, sex energy is the final result of the transformation of our ordinary food and drink. It is also the source of all higher energy and of Will, and is necessary to create a soul. The ordinary person carries out incomplete absorption and transformation of active elements from the three being-foods. The small amount of energy produced is either automatically used up, wasted, or tainted. Ordinary...>>

“The Dark Triad: How the Psychopaths Took Control” by Steve Madison

"The Dark Triad: How the Psychopaths Took Control" by Steve Madison
"The world is not ruled by wise and benevolent people. The opposite is true. Humanity is ruled by the psychopathic, the narcissistic and the Machiavellian – the malevolent Dark Triad. For humanity to progress, it needs to learn how to beat these people, how to identify them early and stop them getting to the top. The Dark Triad types are always entropic and extreme individualists (they are all-consumingly selfish and care exclusively about themselves). We need to get the Light Triad to the top – the Compassionate and Empathic (the opposite of psychopaths); the Altruistic (those who care about others, hence aren’t self-obsessed like the narcissists); and the Philosopher Kings and Queens (the opposite of...>>
