Thus we can say the consciousness as the intentionally ordered information.Ī Person who is in control of consciousness can focus his attention on his goals at any time he wants. In the dream, you might see the accident of your friend in the dream but you do anything about it that’s why we do not conscious about our dream. What is consciousness? We are conscious when we can control our thoughts, feelings, sensations, intention, and act upon them. Lesson #2 Control of Consciousness Determines the Quality of Life Happiness is not something that comes to us from outside events it always comes from our inner consciousness. Have you ever saw the people who have a hell lot of wealth still they are not happy? I have seen and probably you as well. Frankl said that “Don’t aim at success the more you aim at it the less you get it: success like happiness must ensue not pursue. In the man’s search for meaning author Victor k. People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives. Happiness lies in the inner experiences and how we interpret them. People who were in concentration camps experienced happiness when they heard the voice of birds or we notice happiness in our struggles and hard times as well. Even a small child who breaks his previous records feels happy.

Hunter is a role model for queer teens - a boy band star currently touring North America. Author Adib Khorram explores the complexities of being queer in the public eye in his latest YA book, Kiss & Tell. Her work invites us to ask what kind of life-what kind of freedom-is opened up by a refusal to be a good girl. In the new reissue of her 1990 collection, Love That Bunch, Aline Kominsky-Crumb confronts the crazy, ever-shifting expectations of how women are supposed to be-and blows them to smithereens. I thought the original book could scarcely be improved upon, but making it bigger just made it better, and richer. These lend her comics a genuinely intimate feel, like notes jotted down in the margins of a personal letter. Kominsky-Crumb peppers her stories with little asides and footnotes, aimed directly at readers, in a touching or humorous manner. One of the most delightful aspects of The Bunch comics is their personal, conversational touch. Her line appears untrained and often downright crude, but fearlessly committed to paper with a laissez-faire panache. I love her in-the-moment, scrawly, obsessively cross-hatched drawings. It's been a long, fraught journey and Kominsky-Crumb tells you all about it, in sometimes mortifying, often hilarious, occasionally moving, but always engaging detail. Taken together, the stories in Love That Bunch provide a compact, thematically rich autobiography, touching on every important aspect of Kominsky-Crumb's existence: family, sexual obsessions, food, motherhood, art, and various philisophical musings. “Apparently, a conscience is a useful thing to lack.”īooks in the Twist Me Trilogy should be read in order: Dark & violent tale of high school grad being held captive by ruthless alpha, Julian!

His name is Caleb, though he demands to be called Master. Blindfolded and bound, there is only a calm male voice to welcome her. Eighteen-year-old Olivia Ruiz has just woken up in a strange place. If Caleb is to get close enough to strike, he must become the very thing he abhors and kidnap a beautiful girl to train her to be all that he once was.

In addition to detailing the most recent research on the links between Alzheimer's and many common medications, Dr. Newport has communicated with hundreds of people and their caregivers dealing with neurodegenerative diseases. Newport shares Steve's story-how he fell into the abyss that is Alzheimer's disease and was able to climb back out to enjoy a nearly four-year reprieve from the disease, thanks to a dietary intervention with coconut oil and MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil.Since Steve's remarkable turnaround from early-onset Alzheimer's in 2008, Dr. In Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was a Cure?, Dr. Newport's husband, Steve, was one of them.

The people who sent these messages were not trained spies. Written on tiny pieces of rice paper tucked into canisters and tied to the birds’ legs, these messages were sometimes comic, often tragic, and occasionally invaluable-reporting details of German troop movements and fortifications, new Nazi weapons, radar systems, and even the deployment of the feared V-1 and V-2 rockets used to terrorize London. Returning to MI14, the secret government branch in charge of the "Special Pigeon Service," the birds carried messages that offered a glimpse of life under the Germans in rural France, Holland, and Belgium. The fascinating, untold story of how British intelligence secretly used homing pigeons as part of a clandestine espionage operation to gather information, communicate, and coordinate with members of the Resistance to defeat the Nazis in occupied Europe during World War II.īetween 19, British intelligence dropped sixteen thousand homing pigeons in an arc across Nazi-occupied Europe, from Bordeaux, France to Copenhagen, Denmark, as part of a spy operation code-named Columba. Meanwhile, a group of itinerant traders arrive in Xiosphant, and among them is Mouth, one of the last survivors of a nomadic group. Saved by one of the alien “crocodiles,” she manages to make it back to the city, where she hides out, fearful of being found by the police. Instead of a night in jail, she’s made an example of, forced to climb a nearby mountain into the frozen darkness with little hope of survival. When Bianca steals a few “food dollars” from the Gymnasium and the police raid the student group looking for them, Sophie takes the rap. She’s secretly in love with her roommate, the wealthier and somewhat spoiled Bianca - who in turn is involved in what the government views as a radical student group. In harshly regulated Xiosphant, Sophie has earned a scholarship to the prestigious Gymnasium, where she feels isolated because of her working-class background. She deftly contraststhe cities of Xiosphant and Argelo, which have adapted in different ways to the punishing environment. While this sounds like the setting for a harrowing tale of survival - and at times it is, such as in a sequence featuring a treacherous journey across the planet’s Sea of Murder - Anders focuses largely on the alliances, loves and perceived betrayals of her main characters. |
