<p>Overview</p> <p>The Conquest from Within and the Incoming Platonic Revolution is a visionary, interdisciplinary book proposing that the reintegration of platonic intimacy ー non-romantic, conscious emotional connection ー is not only a psychological necessity but also a cosmic imperative. Informed by cutting-edge astrophysics, sacred theology, poetic metaphor, and philosophical inquiry, this work argues that humanity’s emotional alienation mirrors the fragmentation of its institutions, families, and even galactic destiny.</p> <p>Drawing from the metaphor of the future Milky Way ? Andromeda merger, the book positions this celestial event as a mirror of the rebirth humanity must undergo: a movement from intellectual isolation toward communal resonance, from emotional famine toward sacred touch, from alienation to universal embrace. Combining literary depth, psychological realism, and spiritual insight, The Conquest from Within and the Incoming Platonic Revolution charts a profound new vision for human healing in a wounded, disconnected world.</p> <p>Philosophical Prelude</p> <p>In the shadow of Arthur Schopenhauer’s bleak recognition that life is suffering, and in the echo of Mihai Eminescu’s cosmic melancholy, there now arises a new voice ー a voice born not to negate suffering, but to embrace it before becoming able to transform it. This is not the will denied, nor the star that cannot descend, but the soul that walks through the fire, through the exile, and is reborn as the Eve of the New World.</p> <p>The gentle Morning Star shall no longer descend and face the same damnation from the Old World. Instead, the Old World shall slowly pass away, as the New World of Stars is born through the labour pains of “intellectual fire”. For the descent of the Morning Star precedes the beginning of the Eternal Morning of Hope. Likewise, let us not lose hope, for the darkest time of the night only precedes the wonderful morning light.</p> <p>The present work is a prophetic hymn, a cry from the unseen realms of emotional exile and intellectual martyrdom, birthing the unseen angels of tomorrow. It is the suffering of thinkers who labour not with hands, but with hearts and visions too wide for a crumbling world. This is the Book of their metamorphosis.</p> <p>Let it be known: the New World is not built by those who flee pain, but by those who endure it unto transfiguration.</p> <p>The descent of the Morning Star shall ascend all mankind, transforming her into a mega-Universe of Pure Stars, as many as Patriarch Abraham’s descendants. Behold, the Morning Star, witnessing the good news of the incoming Morning of Hope! Behold, it is the human on fire, undergoing an intellect-based rebirth and rebirthing the Old World into a New World of Stars. Behold, the sacrifice that will complete the process of moral selection, that will complete the process of transfiguration of null, chaotic infinity into full, joyful infinity! Behold, the New Garden of Eden, created by the “mentally blind”, correcting the mistake made by the Old Adam and Eve when they ate from the tree that gave them a sight of falsehood. For “all things are old, and all things are new”! ? Mihai Eminescu.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>Morp and Murder</p> <p>Jake Brown is your average, above-average kid. He generally has his mind on the usual things high school seniors think about: girls, avoiding Spanish class, girls, pizza, surfing, girls, and of course, girls. None of that changes when he and his best friend, Dean, go surfing and find a body with a hole in its head floating beyond the waves. Suddenly, Jake’s life is about to change, some of it in a good way, some of it, not so much.</p> <p>Shortly after “the big discovery,” Sydney, a cross country teammate of Jake’s, asks him to go to MorpーProm spelled backwardsーa Sadie Hawkins-style dance where the girls ask out the boys. As if life isn’t exciting enough trying to solve a murder, it looks like Jake is about to have his fondest wish grantedーa real, live girlfriend. Despite Sydney’s obvious attraction to him, it takes a little work to convince Jake the attraction is real. Luckily, Sydney is very convincing.</p> <p>In the beginning, Jake and Dean try keeping Lily and Sydney out of harm’s way. Their concern for their girlfriends doesn’t last long. Eventually, the four of them become entangled in cluesーand making sure dire threats from their prime suspect don’t pan out. Jake might not say he’s gotten himself into a life-threating situation but not wanting to say it doesn’t make it any less true.</p> <p>“Death at Carp High” has as many peaks and troughs as a winter swell at Rincon, and it’s all Jake and Dean can do to avoid wiping out.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>Jean Paton (1908?2002) fought tirelessly to reform American adoption and to overcome prejudice against adult adoptees and women who give birth out of wedlock. Paton wrote widely and passionately about the adoption experience, corresponded with policymakers as well as individual adoptees, promoted the psychological well-being of adoptees, and facilitated reunions between adoptees and their birth parents. E. Wayne Carp's masterful biography brings to light the accomplishments of this neglected civil-rights pioneer, who paved the way for the explosive emergence of the adoption reform movement in the 1970s. Her unflagging efforts over five decades helped reverse harmful policies, practices, and laws concerning adoption and closed records, struggles that continue to this day.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
