Kalika-Khenmetaten, the Supreme Egyptian Adept: Ancient Secret Knowledge of the Great Female Master by M.G. Hawking

About Kalika-Khenmetaten, the Supreme Egyptian Adept: Ancient Secret Knowledge of the Great Female Master by M.G. Hawking:

Explore the profound secrets revealed in an Egyptian manuscript written over 3300 years ago by a supreme master, Kalika-Khenmetaten. Composed under the protection of her patrons, the great Kings Amenhotep III and his successor Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), Kalika’s manuscript sets forth the essential knowledge and cardinal principals of consciousness necessary to attain extraordinary awareness and abilities.
“Experience is the product of the mind—your conscious thoughts and images—propelled into being by feelings. These together form the reality that you experience. You are therefore not at the mercy of a reality that exists apart from yourself, or is thrust upon you.” —Kalika-Khenmetaten (circa 1368 B.C., ± 17 years)
Fragments of the material revealed in this book have through the centuries appeared in the more elevated Eastern philosophies and esoteric wisdom traditions of various cultures. In modern times, splinters of this knowledge have resurfaced in various formats, although unfortunately absent both the most fundamental elements as well as the most advanced components of the wisdom system of the supreme masters.
Attaining the ability to purposefully manifest whatever persons, circumstances and events you desire to experience in your life cannot be truly achieved through simplistic concepts of “positive thinking” or some alleged “secret,” as so many people have learned. Kalika’s manuscript, The Golden Crown, is to some extent a manual, a comprehensive guide to reaching higher awareness, written by a supreme master for masters, but not only for masters. Kalika intended that it could be utilized by persons of requisite ability to reach, through their own efforts, significantly expanded levels of awareness. It sets forth the foundational recognitions and essential principles of consciousness necessary to enable and master extraordinary creative powers.
An unprecedented account that is inspirational, thought provoking, and richly enlightening, this book will resonate in your heart and mind long after the last words have been read. 2023 Edition, e-reader page count 364 (estimated, count varies with reading device). A Kindle Unlimited Book. For more information, please see the ‘Read sample’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.

And…So We Walked: The Inspirational Story of a Couple’s Walk Across America by Rick and Jane McKinney

And…So We Walked: The Inspirational Story of a Couple’s Walk Across America by Rick and Jane McKinney

How would you respond if asked to do something you knew was impossible? Something so difficult, so crazy, so beyond your ability that it didn’t even make sense. You’d dismiss it, forget about it, and act like you were never asked, right? But what if it were God asking? What if you were absolutely sure that you had just heard God speak?

This is that story. The story of two very unlikely people who were asked by God to walk across America. They were to walk from one side of the country to the other, in every conceivable kind of weather, facing what seemed like insurmountable odds, taking every step together and accomplishing it in just six months.

Take each step with them: Meet the people they met, hear the prayers they prayed, feel their pain and celebrate their victories. This is the incredible, true account of their once-in-a-lifetime, adventurous journey.

Sorcerers of Tibet, The Mystery & Magic by M.G. Hawking, Heather Cantrell

About Sorcerers of Tibet, The Mystery & Magic by M.G. Hawking, Heather Cantrell:

Discover the Profound Secrets of the Ancient Zhang Zhung Art of True Magic. Transcribed directly from the field notes and journals of explorer M.G. Hawking’s sixty-two months in remote Himalayan regions of Nepal and Tibet, this book contains detailed narratives of Hawking’s experiences and conversations with a powerful practitioner of the ancient Zhang Zhung art of magic. These narratives provide unprecedented first-hand accounts of her demonstrations of psychokinetic abilities and in-depth descriptions of the apprenticeship and the knowledge that allows the acquisition of such extraordinary abilities, the ‘Four Portals.’
A group of highly esoteric teachings setting forth the true nature of physical reality and techniques of powerful elemental magic, the ‘Four Portals’ and are of extreme antiquity. The first extant traces of the teachings appear as part of the lore of the ancient Zhang Zhung culture, but they are believed to have originated far earlier. Being an exceedingly restricted body of knowledge, said to convey enormous powers, the teachings disappear from the historical record for some 2600 years, not to reemerge until the 7th century AD in the arcane scriptures of the pre-Buddhist B’on religion in Nepal.
The rare esoteric teachings of the ‘Four Portals’ contain enormous amounts of elemental magic, in keeping with their view of the cosmos as a psycho-physical unity, able to be manipulated in heightened states of awareness through clandestine techniques and practices. These teachings are founded on a profound premise: “The Universe is but a mirage which exists in the mind, springs from it, is controlled by it, and sinks into it.”
To understand this premise in a contemporary context, we may consider the following: “As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of the existence of consciousness. The mind is the matrix of all matter.”—Max Planck, originator of Quantum Mechanics, Nobel Laureate. “Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms, for consciousness is absolutely fundamental. It cannot be accounted for in terms of anything else. Quantum physics reveals a basic oneness of the universe. Multiplicity is only apparent; in truth, there is only one mind.”—Erwin Schrödinger, Nobel Laureate. “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”—Albert Einstein, Nobel Laureate.
An incomparable book for anyone seeking enlarged knowledge and personal power. 2020 Edition, e-reader page count 374 (estimated, count varies with reading device used). A Kindle Unlimited Book.

A story filled with insights into somewhere most of us will never go. Well worth your time and a gripping read.
A Story That Enlightens You
I’ve become enlightened by the stories of those who are/were incarcerated for whatever reason. I’m inspired by those who chose to better themselves while serving the sentence they been given. Yes, I believe most everything is a choice. A choice to do what is right, a choice to take the higher path, a choice to believe the best of others.

Your ability to struggle through to reach these men is inspiring to read. How lucky those guys in prison are to have someone like you to teach and guide them. If one man finds a new life after prison because of what he learned from you, then that one man is reward enough for anyone.

The Camel in the Forest: A Memoir from the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

About The Camel in the Forest: A Memoir from the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict:

In her spirited memoir, A. E. Hayoun paints an eye-opening portrait of immigrating to Israel and building a new life in Israel’s beautiful, controversial, and sometimes hostile Negev desert.
At once a vulnerable narrative of personal experience, The Camel in the Forest is also a remarkable, brief history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Camel in the Forest is A. E. Hayoun’s first-hand account of life in Israel that takes place a few years before and during Operation Guardian of the Walls; the 12-day war that came as the result of terrorist groups Hamas and the Islamic Jihad breaking the permanent ceasefire between Israel and Gaza in 2021.
In a lyrical voice that weaves together authentic experience, historical narrative, and the colorful tapestry of Jewish expression, this courageous collection of true stories brings to life the Jewish homeland of rich history, complex politics, and intricate relationships between cultures that are an unavoidable part of everyday life in Israel and the Middle East.
In the style of Yehuda Amichai and the spirit of Noa Tishby, The Camel in the Forest is inspired by ancient Judaic texts, the unique beauty of the Negev desert, and the reality of war that plagues Israeli society. The Camel in the Forest speaks in the voice of a new generation of Israelis and will forever change your understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.

About Shambhala Unveiled, Secrets of the Hidden Worlds by Michael Hawking:

Journey into the world of a profound legend through this unprecedented first-hand account to explore a reality that for long millenniums has remained concealed under layers of myth and secrecy.
Rarely has the world been so enduringly fascinated and inspired by an ancient legend as it has with the historically ubiquitous stories of Shambhala, the fabled hidden sanctuary of transcendentally enlightened sages and mystic masters. Scholars relate that the scriptures of the 4000 year-old pre-Tibetan Zhang Zhung culture may be the earliest extant references to this mysterious realm, yet it is described in many ancient traditions; the pre-Buddhist B’on treaties, the Kalki lore, the Puranas, the earliest texts of the Kalachakra Laghutantra, and in the ancient wisdom traditions of civilizations throughout the Himalayan regions of Asia and beyond. The Zhang Zhung and Tibetan scriptures refer to the mysterious world as Shambhala I lam-yig, B’on treaties as Olmolungring, Hindu histories as Aryavarth, Chinese as Hsi Tien, and Russian traditions as Belovoyde.
On an extended trek into a closed and largely unexplored inner region of the vast Himalayan wilderness, in an isolated valley surrounded by towering ice peaks, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on a beautiful small village where he encountered extraordinary men and women, introduced to him as “masters” and “sages.”

A Cockney Rosebud: A bittersweet journey in the midst of the life and community of an East End of London family (circa 1920 – 1960)

About A Cockney Rosebud: A bittersweet journey in the midst of the life and community of an East End of London family (circa 1920 – 1960):

Enchanting Rosie is born post-World War 1—1920—but into what? Those few (male) breadwinners who returned from the bloody combat would find the East End of London Docklands, ravaged, with little hope of regular work—if they could work, with life-changing injuries and psychological trauma.

The women remained strong, but in quiet despair. Families and communities supported each other, with their futures in question. Mothers reigned supreme, but alcohol and the public houses exerted their influence. Rosie might have changed the world. With talent, unfailing family and community bonds, and strong matriarchal role models, she had a chance. But the family was dysfunctional, and bonds break as families are distanced and communities scattered, and her time to bloom fades—with World War 2—into the war-torn earth.

Journey with Rosie’s memoir, through her childhood and formative years—1920s/1930s/1940s—as she captures her eternal memories, and I share them in this biography. Share her grief as her close family, home, possessions and history are wiped out, faith is tested to breaking point, and her dreams and ambitions are torn from her soul. But, also, wallow in the nostalgia of days past. Times without the internet and mobile phones. Times when children played in abandonment—and in the fresh air. Explore the social history of bygone days, of knitting, talking, cooking and wearing hats—and the lives of the proud East Enders. And rejoice that Rosie makes it through.

eadership by Cyrus the Great: Unlocking Xenophon’s Cyropaedia

About eadership by Cyrus the Great: Unlocking Xenophon’s Cyropaedia:

Discover the Ancient Leadership Secrets that Shaped History’s Greatest Leaders and Influenced Modern Governance
What was it in “Cyropaedia, The Education of Cyrus,” that inspired the Founding Fathers in drafting the US Constitution and guided Alexander the Great in his conquests?
Cyrus the Great, a visionary ruler who embodied freedom, wisdom, integrity, justice, and humanity, conquered vast territories to build the first empire, encompassing diverse peoples from Greece to India and from Egypt to the Caucasus. He conquered Babylon, the most advanced civilization of his time, emancipated tens of thousands of Jewish captives, authored the world’s first charter of human rights, and governed while respecting the religions and traditions of his subjects. His remarkable legacy earned him reverence from various cultures: “The Father” by Persians, “The Law-Giver” by Greeks, “The Liberator” by Babylonians, “Dhul-Qarnayn or The Owner of Two Crowns” by Muslims “and “A Messiah of the Lord” by Jews.
A century later, Xenophon, a Greek military leader and historian from a country that was often at odds with the Persians, documented the life and leadership acumen of Cyrus in Cyropaedia. This classic work has influenced many historical figures, from Alexander the Great to Roman Czars to Thomas Jefferson.
What was Cyrus the Great’s secret to establishing a diverse, multi-ethnic, and multi-lingual empire, the first and largest of its time, while being admired by all?
In “Leadership by Cyrus the Great,” Darius Lahoutifard unlocks Xenophon’s narrative with contemporary language, a clear structure, vivid illustrations, and highlighted lessons. This edition connects ancient wisdom with modern leadership challenges, making Cyrus’s timeless strategies not just relevant but immediately applicable today. Each chapter emphasizes actionable lessons for modern leaders, illustrating how Cyrus’s principles can guide contemporary governance in the world of corporations, politics, or even families.
What can a head of household, a corporate leader, a politician, or a community leader learn from his wisdom?
This book is more than a historical account; it serves as an enduring guide to leadership that transcends the ages. Darius Lahoutifard’s compelling retelling makes this a must-read for anyone seeking to master the art of leadership and appreciate the lasting influence of Cyrus’s wisdom. It serves as a source of inspiration and guidance for leaders in business, politics, communities, and families, encouraging them to apply Cyrus’s principles in their leadership journeys.
“Cyropaedia, the earliest book on leadership, is still the best.” Peter Drucker
