The world's first book where the ending is you.... One decade ago, a spiritual energy awakened in the author, flooding him with insights about the human condition. On March 25, 2004 he dissolved into the state beyond all states of consciousness. When he resurfaced, he knew he had a tough, immediate decision to make: stay there or come back "to normal" and tell people about it. He chose to come back--but not just to tell people. To open them to the "choiceless choice." This book is the result. Read cautiously and wisely. PRAISE FOR URGENCY.: "The most unusual book I've read in years.... This is one of those books that completely blows everything you think is true out of the water.... I urge y...
A mind-bending invitation to experience the impossible as fundamentally human. From precognitive dreams and telepathic visions to near-death experiences, UFO encounters, and beyond, so-called impossible phenomena are not supposed to happen. But they do happen—all the time. Jeffrey J. Kripal asserts that the impossible is a function not of reality but of our everchanging assumptions about what is real. How to Think Impossibly invites us to think about these fantastic (yet commonplace) experiences as an essential part of being human, expressive of a deeply shared reality that is neither mental nor material but gives rise to both. Thinking with specific individuals and their extraordinary experiences in vulnerable, open, and often humorous ways, Kripal interweaves humanistic and scientific inquiry to foster an awareness that the fantastic is real, the supernatural is super natural, and the impossible is possible.

A voyage of exploration to the outer reaches of our inner lives. UFOs are a myth, says David J. Halperin—but myths are real. The power and fascination of the UFO has nothing to do with space travel or life on other planets. It's about us, our longings and terrors, and especially the greatest terror of all: the end of our existence. This is a book about UFOs that goes beyond believing in them or debunking them and to a fresh understanding of what they tell us about ourselves as individuals, as a culture, and as a species. In the 1960s, Halperin was a teenage UFOlogist, convinced that flying saucers were real and that it was his life's mission to solve their mystery. He would become a profes...
With his 2003 debut, I Know Why The Aliens Don't Land!, Amazon best-selling author Jeremy Vaeni redefined what an alien abductee sounds like. Not one to sit meekly in the shadows while some researcher told an audience what his bizarre experiences were, Jeremy offered the depth, humor, and raw honesty sorely lacking in ufology.Now, as he attempts to write its sequel, he can't shake the feeling that he's just going through the motions. Thankfully, there are deeper forces at work who don't want him to write that book, anyway. They want him to write a better one. What emerges is a book unlike any you have ever read before. I Am To Tell You This And I Am To Tell You It Is Fiction sets a new standard for what it means to think deeply about alien abductions, the multiverse, the afterlife, and the life we're living now. And it does so wrapped in the author's trademark, wildly inappropriate sense of humor.
Hockomock Swamp. Home to small town secrets--paranormal creatures, ghastly alien experiments, the things of the bump in the night. Five teenage boys camp there. Five go in, one comes out: Corey Avon. Initially, he can't recall what happened. But, when he regains his memory, he finds his friends and ends the world, for Corey has a secret of his own. One so shocking he keeps it from himself. One so wild no elite force can tame it. One so deep only his true love can bear it. Into The End is a sweeping journey into who and what we all are, how we got here, and where we're going. Truth may set us free, but it is not for the faint of heart. In fact... it is terrifying.

The book describes the worlds where Swahili is spoken as multi-centred contexts that cannot be thought of as located in a specific coastal area of Kenya or Tanzania. The articles presented discuss a range of geographical areas where Swahili is spoken, from Somalia to Mozambique along the Indian Ocean, in Europe and the US. In an attempt to de-essentialize the concepts of translocality and cosmopolitanism, the emphasis of the book is on translocality as experienced by different social strata and by gender and cosmopolitanism as an acquired attitude.
