![]() Lords of Law who disregard the Cosmic Balance do so because they wish to stop Chaos from breaching the Balance forever, and ironically, they go against the Balance themselves when they do this. Just like Chaos, Law is beyond good or evil, and too much Law can be just as harmful to life as too much Chaos. This does not mean the Lords of Law are inherently good. ![]() The Lords of Law are prone to appearing in human form, but when seen in their truer forms, they appear as perfect in every way, flawlessly symmetrical and painfully beautiful to look upon. ![]() When they appear, the Lords of Law are usually more benevolent than the Chaos Lords, who are seductive but also sinister and prone to losing their temper. Most of the stories are set in a cosmic cycle when Chaos is most powerful. The White Lords of Law are much less developed than the Lords of Chaos. They are worshiped as gods in many worlds, and reviled as tyrants in others. The Lords of Law are essentially living embodiment of Law. Chief among these are the Lords of Law, also known as the Lords of Light and the White Lords. Law manifests itself in an unknown number of forms and ideals. ![]() The Lords of Singularity and Justice, and servants of Law. ![]() ![]() ![]() It will help you prioritize your emotional health, set boundaries and ask for help, make choices about feeding and childcare that feel good to you, get good sleep, create a strong relationship with your partner, make self care an everyday priority, trust your instincts, and actually enjoy the hardest job you will ever love.

As I continued reading, this became a reality to me and I was pulled into the book and couldn’t put it down. I was forewarned ahead of time that Rene Paule’s books make you feel like you’re looking into a mirror. You're not alone and help is always available. Just Around the Bend by Rene Paule is a book about letting go of the past and living in the now. Paying close attention to our thoughts, reactions and feelings can be scary at first but it reveals a great deal about us and is well worth the effort. I know the daily grind keeps many of us way too busy to stop and consider - or care - about the mysteries of life let alone homilies like 'Know Thyself'' we have enough problems with 'Where are my keys?' But if you're up to examining your 'mind' whilst I examine mine, then turn the book over and let's get started. Regrettably, the energy and drive most of us need to enjoy them, should they materialise, have been left way behind us. ![]() What you'll find is a series of essays that examine some diverse topics about human nature, looked at from an unusual perspective and written in a way you may not have read before - plain English. by Renée Paule Synopsis Apparently, just around the bend is everything we’ve been looking forward to including world peace, winning the lottery and a blissful retirement. That's great, but if they're what you're looking for you won't find them in this book. ![]() "Apparently, just around the bend is where we'll find everything we've been looking forward to including world peace, winning the lottery and a blissful retirement. ![]() ![]() ![]() What made the experience of listening to Hard As It Gets the most enjoyable? I thought I was buying a complete story but what I got was a fairly complete romance and about 1/6th of a crime novel. I'm feeling a little mislead but reluctantly pulled in. I was thinking each book would be a separate crime and a new relationship. I think I was expecting that solving this one crime would band the friends together again, and then maybe they'd start their own business. I'm guessing you'll have to listen to all 5 or 6 books before you see the head bad guy get his comeuppance - whoever that is because I still don't know. 2) the over-arching story doesn't come anywhere near getting resolved. Narrator did have good emotion and distinct characters. ![]() I listened to the whole thing on 1.25 to 1.50 speed which, while annoying, was less annoying than listening at normal speed. 1) the narrator, especially in the first book, speaks really slowly. I wish I had known these two things prior to investing in this series. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kathie: Were you surprised by any of the events that revealed themselves while you were writing this draft or did you have a pretty good sense of what was happening going into it?īen: When I wrote book 1, I didn’t realize I was going to be writing a series. There is plenty of lore to play with in that culture. The people with whom they interact are now known as the Aztec. In terms of the historical era John and Sarah visit, they go back to around the year 1500 CE in central Mexico before a certain Spaniard rapscallion named Cortés arrives. This was a fun one to finally write, and I hope my readers have their imaginations tickled as much as I did in scheming it up way back when. In PEOPLE OF THE SUN, all is revealed about who John and Sarah really are, and why they’re traveling through time. Can you tell us what’s happening with John and Sarah this time?īen: I’m so pleased you had me back! As I’ve said before, you and the MG Book Village folks are such a great force for good in our MG community. ![]() Kathie: It’s so nice to have you back at MG Book Village again, Ben! This time, we’re thrilled to be part of the cover reveal for Book 3 in the Eye of Ra series called PEOPLE OF THE SUN. ![]() ![]() And Tesla's approach of continually focusing on the future, even as commitments and deadlines are repeatedly missed, may ultimately test the patience of all but its most devoted fans. While most car manufacturers struggle with the razor-thin margins of mid-priced sedans, Tesla's strategy requires that the Model 3 finally bring it to profitability, even as the high-priced Roadster and Model S both lost money. Tesla's commitment to innovation has led it to reject the careful, zero-defects approach of other car manufacturers, even as it struggles to mass-produce cars reliably, and with minimal defects. ![]() The company's market valuation now rivals that of long-established automakers, and, to many industry observers, Tesla is defining the future of the industry.īut behind the hype, Tesla has some serious deficiencies that raise questions about its sky-high valuation, and even its ultimate survival. Tesla Motors and CEO Elon Musk have become household names, shaking up the staid auto industry by creating a set of innovative electric vehicles that have wowed the marketplace and defied conventional wisdom. Tesla is the most exciting car company in a generation. ![]() ![]() ![]() He sits at his desk and makes this story: a young man’s traumatic entrance into adulthood and the shadowy passages he must subsequently negotiate. Whichever aspect of himself Murakami drew from in order to create “Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage,” it lies somewhere among the stones of his mystical labors. ![]() ![]() I had a vague premonition this book would be rooted in common human experience, less up my alley than the alien textures woven throughout “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.” Yet I also sensed strange notes forming, coiling within a small wound that would not heal. I can’t help wondering what effect the book had on them, and what they were hoping for: the surreal, intra-dimensional side of Murakami or his more minimalist, realist side? I envision readers queuing up at midnight outside Tokyo bookstores: the alienated, the athletic, the disenchanted and the buoyant. Within seven days of its midnight release, “Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage” sold over one million copies in Japan. There is a happily frenzied collective expectancy - the effect of cultural voice, the Murakami effect. ![]() Readers wait for his work the way past generations lined up at record stores for new albums by the Beatles or Bob Dylan. A devotional anticipation is generated by the announcement of a new Haruki Murakami book. ![]() ![]() ![]() In 1974 Rajneesh relocated to Pune, where an ashram was established and a variety of therapies, incorporating methods first developed by the Human Potential Movement, were offered to a growing Western following. During this period he expanded his spiritual teachings and commented extensively in discourses on the writings of religious traditions, mystics, and philosophers from around the world. In 1970, Rajneesh spent time in Mumbai initiating followers known as "neo-sannyasins". In advocating a more open attitude to human sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and became known as "the sex guru". Rajneesh emphasized the importance of meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humor-qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialization. In the 1960s he traveled throughout India as a public speaker and was a vocal critic of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindu religious orthodoxy. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic. ![]() Rajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990) and latter rebranded as Osho was leader of the Rajneesh movement. ![]() ![]() Not country, nor culture, nor status matter as all ten thousand people aboard must fight for the same thing: survival.Ī tribute to the people of Lithuania, Poland, and East Prussia, Ruta Sepetys unearths a shockingly little-known casualty of a gruesome war, and proves that humanity can prevail, even in the darkest of hours. Just when it seems freedom is within their grasp, tragedy strikes. Forced by circumstance to unite, the three find their strength, courage, and trust in each other tested with each step closer toward safety. ![]() ![]() Among them are Joana, Emilia, and Florian, whose paths converge en route to the ship that promises salvation, the Wilhelm Gustloff. In 1945, World War II is drawing to a close in East Prussia and thousands of refugees are on a desperate trek toward freedom, almost all of them with something to hide. ![]() Let's start off with the publisher's description of this book: ![]() I'm so excited that, with this book, I have officially met my goal of reading 3 books for the Big Book Summer Challenge, hosted by Sue Jackson at Book by Book!Īnd I am also have excited to have read this book simply because it is the favorite book of one of my good friends, and I'm glad I can finally talk to her about it.Īnd I am also excited to have read this book because, quite simply, it is unparalleled and incredible, and it is a perfect finish to this summer of incredible YA novels (like Yolk and Bitter). ![]() |
