The Askandar


Book Description

The Askandar is a continuation of the story ETMA PNIKRE. The Askandar, the great starship has escaped with its six thousand survivors from the cremation of the planet Earth and now rushes onward in its journey through the blackest darkness of the infinite ocean of the universe. In the starship, within its occupants, live all of the natural instincts and emotions, which had fluxed and flowed within the cultures, the survivors had left behind. No one had given much consideration to the great broad spectrum of the human condition, which would demand its satisfaction, even though it had been stripped from its natural home. The individual's instinctive creature found itself resident within a closed capsule, where it still needed to satisfy its ancient secret yearnings, and to find contentment for the beast, which secretly underlies civilized humanity, that it might be peaceably consoled. And so, though Earth and its societies had all become just a distant cinder, the mysterious ways of Mother Earth had been so patiently distilled into every cell and every fiber of the people on the starship, that her ways, her embedded instincts, her emotions of love, hatred, and savagery, rode within the ship in the safe luxury of each individual survivor.




Instincts


Book Description

This book is the third in my series of four books dealing with Intelligence, Instincts, and Consciousness. The simple and truthful realization of what we are, and how we got to where we are within nature's world, is the ultimate truth that any philosophy could ever propose to know. It is ultimately the most powerful state that any human mind can ever attain. It is a true kind of nirvana. It is with this knowing state of mind that we can make ever-new beginnings and provide for a future where our chances are best for surviving whatever random hells that nature will with great certainty rise up against us. The fact that we might have to eventually face up to what we are as completely definable creatures in terms of a very complex organization of billions of very simple structures is not in anyway whatsoever a degradation of the truth of our humanity. Understanding what we are has led us to realize both the miraculous and morally good achievements of our kind, and also to an understanding of the basic nature of our more hidden ugly and evil actions.




The Conquest


Book Description

In 1519 Corts sailed from Cuba, leading an expedition of search and discovery of any lands to the west of Cuba. What he found was a land and a civilization that was larger and richer than anything in his wildest dreams. He became compulsively determined to have this new land and its riches as his own. But within the fog that hides the future, it was the Aztec's own beliefs and their complete ignorance of any nations existing beyond the seas that made up the substance of that fog, and led them blindly into a collision with a fate, which time and distance had been ever-ripening. It is through that fog that the Aztec's continuing story and the love affair of Jaguar and Five Rabbit unfolds within a quite unbelievable military struggle for the conquest of Mexico.




Real World Poetry Book Two


Book Description

Real World Poetry Book Two is a continuation of the style of poems, of my first poetry book, Real World Poetry. Some few of these poems have appeared as prose embedded within the text of my other writings. The mood of these poems is intended to address the lack of objective truth within many of the world's major philosophies, and to call attention to hidden seeds, which will eventually determine both our near and distant future. Some of the poems may seem to some few readers to be overly grating, but the purpose is to awakening those few readers to the perils of worshiping forever, without reflective thought, those philosophies and mythologies, whose messages should have long ago crumbled from lack of any supportive substance and from their old, very old, age.




Overthrowing Geography


Book Description

This landmark book offers a truly integrated perspective for understanding the formation of Jewish and Palestinian Arab identities and relations in Palestine before 1948. Beginning with the late Ottoman period Mark LeVine explores the evolving history and geography of two cities: Jaffa, one of the oldest ports in the world, and Tel Aviv, which was born alongside Jaffa and by 1948 had annexed it as well as its surrounding Arab villages. Drawing from a wealth of untapped primary sources, including Ottoman records, Jaffa Shari'a court documents, town planning records, oral histories, and numerous Zionist and European archival sources, LeVine challenges nationalist historiographies of Jaffa and Tel Aviv, revealing the manifold interactions of the Jewish and Palestinian Arab communities that lived there. At the center of the book is a discussion of how Tel Aviv's self-definition as the epitome of modernity affected its and Jaffa's development and Jaffa's own modern pretenses as well. As he unravels this dynamic, LeVine provides new insights into how popular cultures and public spheres evolved in this intersection of colonial, modern, and urban space. He concludes with a provocative discussion of how these discourses affected the development of today's unified city of Tel Aviv–Yafo and, through it, Israeli and Palestinian identities within in and outside historical Palestine.




Real World Poetry


Book Description

Real World Poetry contains a group of individual poems, which I wrote over a very extended period of time. Some few of these poems have singularly appeared in some of my other writings. The mood of these poems is intended to address the lack of objective truth within many of the major philosophies of the world's cultures, and to dress those wounds, of cognitive dissonance, with a dressing of hope and guidance towards a more reasonable outlook upon life, and of life's struggles to discover a meaningful perspective, which can be embraced by reasonable peoples, allowing them to find a guiding path to peace-of-mind, and some form of contentment within a world that everyday waxes and wanes between its self proclaimed ancient morals, which have grown so crumbly with time's passing, as to be without any substantial or meaningful substance.




Intelligence and Instincts


Book Description

A journey through the forest that composes the inner-self. Daring forbidden insights that cut to the bone of truth of what we are, how we are, and why we are what we are. We are covered by "The Thin Skin of Civilization," but here is revealed what lies beneath that skin.




Real World Poetry Book Three


Book Description

Real World Poetry Book Three is a continuation of the style of poems of my first two poetry books. Some few of these poems have appeared as prose embedded within the text of some of my other writings. Again, the mood of these poems is intended to address the lack of objective truth within many of the world's major philosophies, and to call attention to hidden seeds, which will eventually, upon germination, determine both our near and distant futures. Some of these poems may seem overly grating, but their purpose is to awaken those few readers to the perils of worshiping forever, without reflective thought, those philosophies and mythologies, whose messages should have long ago crumbled from lack of any supportive substance and from their old, very old, age.




Anshalyn - Queen of the four worlds


Book Description

Little Anshalyn Nescoa is born in the middle of a merciless war between the four worlds of Norkamp, ​​Sudland, Offenier and Mauies. As the child of a poor wandering family hiding in the vast, remote fields of Sudland, she is said to have legendary powers. Her parents hide her because they suspect that Anshalyn's powers will attract the dark warriors of Norkamp and subjugate their village. When Anshalyn reaches the age of eighteen, however, a stranger approaches her and tells her that she is a magical elf and that only she can end the war. When Anshalyn's father dies, she accepts the challenge - against her mother's wishes - and goes to war with the mission of bringing peace to Sudland. She is supported by the little dragon Skilas and her friend Askandar, whom she meets on her journey. But the demons are already on her trail, and Anshalyn doesn't know how much danger she is putting herself in... The first high fantasy novel by Elias J. Connor takes the reader into a world full of fantasy, magic, love, heroic action and adventure.




Jaguar and Five Rabbit


Book Description

Within these pages lives a story of love, of friendships, and of families, which are imbedded within a place and time, where the most diametrically opposite of human values existed and survived side-by-side, where heaven and hell daily rubbed their social elbows, and each of their elements were ever threatening the survival of their counterpart. Here is a story of people caught between the gears and wheels of their god's invisible machinery that daily drives their universe. Here is portrayed both the physical and psychological landscape of a time whose structures, writings, and beliefs have now been systematically destroyed by a new foreign master and a new foreign religion, which has a so-called "Modern Strategy" about blood sacrifice and intellectual domination. Here is the story of lovers, whose powerful desire to be forever together, is the magic that guides them through an ever-fluxing nightmare that is their reality. The story opens in the capitol city of the Aztec Empire during the night of November the 8th in the year 1516 CE.
