Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, has stated that his intent at SpaceX is the colonization of Mars. It WILL happen. The author explains in detail how it will happen, including everything from how we will get there to the infrastructure required on Mars. This book may sound like science fiction, but it isn’t.

Connections

I am a practicing psychotherapist with over fifty years of experience, still actively seeing patients in the San Diego area. I currently specialize in those needing treatment for long-term care, chronic conditions, and PTSD.

I returned to my roots in writing Connections. I expanded upon the developmental frameworks I taught in my UCSD courses; my students encouraged me to adapt these core psychological constructs into a matrix encompassing my other passions, like physics and spirituality. I believe we need an ongoing inner Renaissance if we hope to spark one in the wider world.

Conscious (R)Evolution, Humanity, Insanity, and the Planet

In Conscious (R)Evolution, Humanity, Insanity, and the Planet, the author brings together two powerful insights: that all life on this planet is interconnected, and that humanity’s current path of consumerism and industrialization is leading to catastrophe. From deforestation to pollution, we are damaging the very environment that sustains us. This book asks us to stop and consider the bigger picture: as an intelligent species, why would we willingly destroy the planet that gave us life? With urgency and clarity, the author calls for a new way of living, one that recognizes our place in the natural world and uses our intelligence to create a better future for all.

Convulsions of the Planet Earth

“The greatest mystery in the history of world aviation” – the disappearance of five American bombers in the Northwest Atlantic without a trace. What is going on in the Bermuda Triangle? What are UFOs? What is the true reason for the Chernobyl tragedy and the sinking of the Kursk submarine? Why did Soviet air defenses shoot down a South Korean passenger airliner (flight KAL-007) in the sky over Sakhalin? What is the reason for the crash of the Russian Superjet-100 in Indonesia? Where did the Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 (flight MH-370) get lost? What unites these seemingly unrelated events?

For many years, these questions have haunted the minds of both sensational journalists and scientists. So, finally, the readers will be able to come close to unraveling this dark page in the history of mankind. The hypothesis proposed by Boris Ostrovsky sheds light on questions that researchers of the unknown are trying in vain to answer.

Corona-Copeia

Janet Abramson’s poems express moods from panic to grief to acceptance and ultimately to joy to reveal the lived experience of the pandemic.

From haiku to fully articulated dreamscapes, flashes of humor, even euphoria alternating with meditations on the tragedy of the human condition, these poems invite the reader to experience the words of Ram Das, “Be here now.”

Cosmian

This memoir is an interesting blend of history and fantasy, of reality and poetry, of high-mindedness with the occasional carnality thrown in…I feel as though – not just for the fact of the words, but also for the ebb and flow of thought direction – I have been wandering the nerve-endings of your brain.

Your history is there, certainly, but slathered with other gravies: poetry, philosophy, passion, and dispassion. And a great deal of playfulness. I believe there is something very Zen-‘Masterish’ about the angled prose you set down in this writing, a wild-and-crazy trip, man.

While I was reading your history with ‘C’ (cosmos), I was reminded of these lines that Rumi wrote sometime in the mid-1200s:

I would love to kiss you

(The price of kissing is my life)

Now my loving is running toward my life

Shouting, “What a bargain,

Let’s buy it!”

– Dennis O’Keefe, American Poet

Cosmian Rhapsody

Praise be to those who in their waning years make others happy. Praise be to those who find light in the darkness and share it with others. Praise be to those who can spread joy through trust and tolerance. Praise be to those who look far beyond themselves to their place in the cosmos. For Lee Tae-Sang, Doris R. Wenzel (Publisher for Cosmos Cantata)
