【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Sipapu Passage【電子書籍】[ Eduard Gerardus Walkers ]

＜p＞＜strong＞The Sipapu Passage＜/strong＞ is a visionary novel that blends spiritual inquiry, ancient prophecy, and modern disillusionment into a powerful journey across cultures, continents, and states of consciousness.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Reto, a successful but deeply unfulfilled Swiss investment professional, is haunted by recurring dreams of a skeletal figure whose presence feels both ominous and strangely familiar. When his carefully constructed life begins to unravelーprofessionally, emotionally, and morallyーReto abandons comfort and certainty to search for something he cannot yet name: meaning.＜/p＞ ＜p＞His quest takes him from the financial centers of Zurich to the sacred landscapes of Arizona, Kenya, and Tibet. Along the way, he encounters indigenous wisdom keepers, monks, shamans, farmers, and mysticsーguardians of Earth, Water, Air, and Fireーeach preserving fragments of an ancient understanding humanity has nearly forgotten. From Hopi prophecies and Kikuyu water rituals to Tibetan wind meditation and the mysteries of Mount Kailash, Reto is forced to confront not only the state of the world, but the illusions that govern his own mind.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At the heart of the story lies a profound question: has modern civilization lost its connection to the forces that sustain lifeーand if so, can it be restored? As Reto moves closer to the truth, the boundary between myth and reality dissolves, and the figure from his dreams reveals its true nature.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Part spiritual odyssey, part philosophical thriller, ＜strong＞The Sipapu Passage＜/strong＞ challenges the reader to reconsider progress, success, and happiness. It is a call to remembranceーof community over isolation, balance over domination, and wisdom over accumulation. A novel for seekers, skeptics, and anyone who senses that another way of living is not only possible, but urgently necessary.＜/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。

You would be flavoring your food with spices or even with natural minerals, because you did not know all about the value of the plant world to make a difference between a bland dish, and a delicious one.＜br /＞ Also, just imagine trying to get rid of a cold more than 5000 years ago, by rubbing your face with cold water. Until somebody decided that he was feeling really cold and he needed something hot to drink. So he just put some water on to boil, but because he did not like the taste of bland water, he just added some nice green leaves. Hey, this chance combination turned out to be really tasty. It also happened to cure his cold and made him feel really warm.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Believe it or not, most of the herbal lore, which has passed down to us down the ages has been found due to experimentation or by Lucky chances. Also, anything which my goats, sheep, horses and cattle liked may not have suited my innards and vice versa. That is why you do not give your cats and dogs , well spiced food, especially your pizza remains, unless you want them really sick.＜br /＞ At that time people did not know much about writing, because we are talking about prehistoric times. However, down the generations, they passed on this knowledge to the people of their tribe. And when they met up with other people of other tribes, they shared this knowledge.＜br /＞ This continued some sensible person decided that this knowledge had to be stored up for the use of future generations. And so this compile addition of herbal lore and information was born and the teachers, the wise men helped mankind for ages to come.＜br /＞ This included the knowledge of the essential oils in the plants.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Basil and mint essential oils are excellent for cooking and in beauty products.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Many of the herbs and remedies known to our ancestors have been lost with the passage of time. However, a lot of these remedies are still being rediscovered by chance, or through documents, found in excavations. Many of the plants which were so common during the time of the Pharaohs are now extinct.＜br /＞ Nevertheless, their knowledge can be considered to be the basis of modern medical knowledge....＜/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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Undeparted【電子書籍】[ Alex de Valette ]

＜p＞Convincing mankind that he doesn't exist has been the Devil's greatest victory.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Undeparted is an action/adventure story of the arcane struggle between Good and Evil woven around some of the most extraordinary tales from history and folklore. You can find out why Satan's hoof prints were found one cold night in Devon; what really happened to the lost North-west passage expedition; learn the true identity of Victorian legend Spring-heeled Jack and why demons flee at the sight of a Morris dance.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Set in modern day America, it focuses on Keanus and his responsibility for overseeing the actions of the Order of the Polymath, a group who have the ability to recall all the skills and knowledge of their previous incarnations. The Order are locked in an eternal struggle with the Djinn but this delicate balance is disturbed when a new entity enters the stage. Tamerlane is a crazed soul who has escaped from Hell and now walks the earth again. He believes that he is the new Messiah and is planning world domination following his master-minding of the 9/11 atrocity. Satan claims to be so concerned that he will be dethroned as the Prince of Darkness that he turns to the Order for help. As the plot twists and turns, even Keanus comes under suspicion as old wounds and ancient mysteries are re-opened.＜br /＞ Has that feeling of d?j? vu ever made you stop and wonder? Have you ever felt unexplainably familiar in new surroundings? You probably just dismissed it yet it was actually your soul trying to remind you of one or more of your past-lives and this book will help you understand why. It is inspired by the true story of one man's near death experience, but it wasn't like those heart warming stories you read in the Sunday papers. He didn't see the light or stand before the Pearly Gates; this man went to Hell…and returned with a message for us all.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Protect your soul; know the Psychomachy.＜/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。

Finally, to give battle to find the road to hope, to dream, to have vision again.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"We are lost in the cycles of life, by accepting one-dimensionally＜br /＞ our material foundation. By avoiding or forgetting also to traverse＜br /＞ the road of our esoteric realization, we follow the armies of those with the earthen masks.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Frozen Deep and Miss or Mrs【電子書籍】[ Wilkie Collins ]

＜p＞"The Frozen Deep": The play's genesis lay in the conflict between Dickens and John Rae's report on the fate of the Franklin expedition. In May 1845, the "Franklin expedition" left England in search of the Northwest Passage. It was last seen in July 1845, after which the members of the expedition were lost without trace. In October 1854, John Rae (using reports from "Eskimo" (Inuit) eyewitnesses, who informed that they had seen 40 "white men" and later 35 corpses) described the fate of the Franklin expedition in a confidential report to the Admiralty: "From the mutilated state of many of the corpses and the contents of the kettles it is evident that our wretched countrymen had been driven to the last resourceーcannibalismーas a means of prolonging survival." Miss or Mrs.: Another crisp short novel from Wilkie Collins. As one who distrusts the institution of matrimony, he gives us another example of the somewhat strange Victorian marriage laws. The heroine of Miss or Mrs.?, Natalie, is fifteen years old. Her family wants her to wed Richard Turlington, a failing businessman who wants access to Natalie's father's fortune to save his hide. Natalie hates Turlington and secretly marries Launcelot Linzie, her cousin, who is unable to legally elope with her until her sixteenth birthday. Collins is a past master of knowing how to milk a complicated plot to good effect. Well worth reading.

Her breakthrough comes when she discovers a perfectly preserved temple, a monument to a power forgotten by time.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the heart of the sanctum, she finds her proof: a colossal statue of the very god from her research. In a moment of academic triumph, she reads an ancient passage aloud. She believes it to be a dedication, but she is gravely mistaken. The words are a ritual, and the stone is not stone at all.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Awakened from an eon of slumber, the Warden is a being of immense power and intellect. It is not interested in sharing its history; it is interested in the small, clever creature who woke it. Laura's quest for knowledge becomes a terrifying lesson as the god decides to teach her its forbidden languageーa lexicon written not in stone, but in the flesh. Her mind, her greatest asset, is systematically deconstructed as she is forced to learn that true understanding comes not from analysis, but from absolute, physical submission. Trapped and alone, the scholar becomes the text, her body the canvas for a lesson as old as the stars.＜/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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Off Sandy Hook and Other Stories【電子書籍】[ Richard Dehan ]

＜p＞On board the Rampatina liner, eleven days and a half out from Liverpool, the usual terrific sensation created by the appearance of the pilot-yacht prevailed. Necks were craned and toes were trodden on as the steamer slackened speed, and a line dexterously thrown by a blue-jerseyed deck-hand was caught by somebody aboard the yacht. The pilot, not insensible to the fact of his being a personage of note, carefully divested his bearded countenance of all expression as he saluted the Captain, and taking from the deck-steward’s obsequiously proffered salver a glass containing four-fingers of neat Bourbon whisky, concealed its contents about his person without perceptible emotion, and went up with the First Officer upon the upper bridge as the relieved skipper plunged below. The telegraphs clicked their messageーthe leviathan hulk of the liner quivered and began to forge slowly ahead, and an intelligent-looking, thin-lipped, badly-shaved young man in a bowler, tweeds, and striped necktie, introduced himself to the Second Officer as an emissary of the Press. “Mr. Cyrus K. Pillson, New York Yeller.... Pleased to know you, sir,” said the Second Officer; “step into the smoke-room, this way. Bar-steward, a brandy cocktail for me, and you, sir, order whatever you are most in the habit of hoisting. Whisky straight! Now, sir, happy to afford you what information I can!” “I presume,” observed the young gentleman of the Press, settling himself on the springy morocco cushions and accepting the Second Officer’s polite offer of a green Havana of the strongest kind, “that you have had a smooth passage, considerin’ the time of year?” “Smooth....” The Second Officer carefully reversed in his reply the Pressman’s remark: “Well, yes, the time of year considered, a smooth passage, I take it, we have had.” “No fogs?” interrogated the young gentleman, clicking the elastic band of a notebook which projected from his breast-pocket. “Fogs?... No!” said the Second Officer. “You didn’t chance,” pursued the young gentleman of the Press, taking his short drink from the steward’s salver and throwing it contemptuously down his throat, “to fall in with a berg off the Bank, did you?” “Not a smell of one!” replied the Second Officer with decision. “Ran into a derelict hencoop, perhaps?” persisted the young gentleman, concealing the worn sole of a wearied boot from the searching glare of the electric light by tucking it underneath him, “or an old lady’s bonnet-box? ... or a rubber doll some woman’s baby had lost overboard? No?” he echoed, as the Second Officer shook his head. “Then, how in thunder did you manage to lose twenty feet of your port-rail?” “Carried away,” said the Second Officer, offering the young Press gentleman a light. “No, thanks. Always eat mine,” said the young Press gentleman gracefully. “Matter of taste,” observed the Second Officer, blowing blue rings. “I guess so; and I’ve a taste for knowing how you came,” said the young Pressman, “to part with that twenty foot of rail.” “Carried away,” said the Second Officer. “I kin see that,” retorted the visitor. “It was carried away,” said the Second Officer, “by an elephant.” “A pet you had running about aboard?” queried the Pressman, with imperturbable coolness. “A passenger,” returned the Second Officer, with equal calm. There was a snap, and the Pressman’s notebook was open on his knee. The pencil vibrated over the virgin page, when a curious utterance, between a wail, a cough, and a roar, made the hand that held it start. “Yarr-rr! Ohowgh! Yarr!” The melancholy sound came from without, borne on the cool breeze of a late afternoon in March, through the open ventilators. “Might that,” queried the young gentleman of the Press, “be an expression of opinion on the part of the elephant?” “Lord love you, no!” said the Second Officer. “It’s the leopard.” He added after a second’s pause: “Or the puma.” “Do you happen to have a menagerie aboard?” inquired the Pressman, making a note in shorthand.＜/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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Red Dancer【電子書籍】[ Rafael Fraguada ]

＜p＞While in a fine state of total inebriation, Gabriel drained his vein onto a sand dune and perceived a most perfect being. A godlike image appeared on a starless night while in country. This powerful force would permit him safe passage through the conflict if he would replace an eyelash lost in a childs dream and return to the world or home with the souls of his dead comrades. His five-year-old niece had given him an earring for good luck before he left for the war. He wore the black crescent shape on a silver chain around his neck alongside a Saint Christopher medal. This earring made it possible for him to return home with the souls of his more unfortunate companions.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Back from Southeast Asia, he enters a saloon in New York City and chats with the owner. He mentions he had served overseas. This man asks for a quiet moment and summons the patrons to propose a toast. No one takes him seriously as he is in his cups. When the bartender turns up the jukebox, the room resumes its convivial atmosphere of the 60s free love and introspection. Realizing he is not amused, he leaves for an evening with a war buddy and his young family. Its the commencement of his postwar experience with souls in tow. He finds solace with his body wasted. My bodys aching and I cant find my way home, like the song plays out.＜/p＞ ＜p＞His years pass with no great interests, and he gets by well enough with a day-to-day existence but has accomplished nothing but keeps himself in blue-collar work and in more barrooms. When he meets up with a wealthy acquaintance from a tiny Midwest college they had attended, he thinks of him as a shimmering deity of sorts. Wings, the handsome poet who drove his hunter green Morgan sports car through Lake Forests bright autumn afternoons down Sheridan Road scattering bushels of fallen leaves with selfless irony, a smirk and no smile, now conversed regularly with Gabriel who thinks him quite the fellow in the sense that anyone with that amount of wealth should be able to do the greatest things. Wings had married while still in college, and his wife gave birth to a daughter who kept him out of the draft. The child was another mans progeny. Wings too had to survive the war.＜/p＞ ＜p＞His conversation of manuscripts, investments, inheritance, love entanglements with no resolution or sense didnt matter to Gabriel. It made him feel wealthy by association. One evening on a walk through Central Park, they and Wings daughter, Ruth, sat in a clearing to enjoy a bottle of wine. She slips a pill into Gabriels cup without him batting an eye as they were out to enjoy themselves. Wings leaves abruptly. Ruth follows shortly. As night falls, he finally goes in search of his two friends. He approaches a big man cloaked in an animal skin who is armed with a large broad sword. Gabriel inquires about his friends and is aggressively attacked. In short order, he has this man on his knees crying for help, which he cant see. A woman comes to the fallen mans aid, but he mistakenly strikes her with his weapon.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The former marine awakens the next the morning and is arrested for the death of a woman not far from him. He is released on bail and is presented with the opportunity of taking the fall. After a short term in a psychiatric hospital, he would be recompensed with a rather large sum of money. Wings had arranged this to collect monies for himself and his daughter. His wife had gone through his fortune.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Gabriel had never dreamed of such machinations. His honor is at stake as that of his fellow war companions. He decides to make a stand and dons an expensive navy blue suit over his service automatic and grabs a dagger. On his way to Wings coop, he finds himself walking through Central Park. The intense clamoring of his men on his mind causes him to stumble and fall for an instant. He shakes it off but doesnt know who he is. In the waning daylight, he wanders through a sett＜/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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Selections from Five English Poets【電子書籍】[ Various ]

＜p＞When a poem is read aloud it is easy to realize that poetry is closely related to music. Like music it awakens vague, mysterious feelings which cannot be expressed in ordinary speech; and the person who fails to catch the subtle melody of a poem gets but little from it even though he understands perfectly the meaning of the words. To illustrate this, put into commonplace prose a passage of beautiful verse,ーfor instance, lines 358-372 of The Ancient Mariner, beginning, "Sometimes a-dropping from the sky,"ーand then compare the prose version with the original. The two will be found as unlike as the flower after it has been dissected by the botanist, and the same flower still on the stalk, opening its petals to the morning sun. The Greeks divided all poetry into three kinds,ーlyric, epic, and dramatic poetry, and there is no better general division. The lyric, which is properly a song, expresses the transient feeling or mood of the writer, and therefore is never very long. One must be sensitive to the music of verse to care for a poem of this kind, because it tells no story. Dryden's Song for St. Cecilia's Day and Gray's Elegy, both included in the present volume, are lyrics. Among the most beautiful of English lyrics are Milton's Lycidas, Wordsworth's Ode on Intimations of Immortality, and Shelley's To a Skylark and Adonais; while of American poems of the same kind none is nobler than Lowell's Commemoration Ode. Short lyrics, among which are songs and sonnets, can be found in the works of almost every poet of note, whether English or American. Under the head of epic or narrative poetry are included long productions like the Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer and the Paradise Lost of Milton, and shorter poems, such as Coleridge's Ancient Mariner and _Longfellow's Evangeline. Indeed, every piece of verse that tells a story, however short it may be, belongs with the epics or narratives. Dramatic poetry includes well-known plays like Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice and Julius Caesar, and also certain poems not written for the stage, such as Browning's Pippa Passes and Shelley's Prometheus Unbound. In a dramatic production the poet goes out of himself for the time being, and expresses the thoughts and feelings of other characters. It may have been noticed that in this description of the principal kinds of poetry, only three of the poems included in this book have been mentioned. This is because the other threeーThe Traveller, The Deserted Village, and The Cotter's Saturday Nightーdo not fit exactly into any of the divisions. One would class them with the epics rather than with the lyrics or the dramas, but they are not properly narratives, because they tell no story; they are really descriptive and reflective poems. One often comes upon a difficulty of this kind when attempting to classify a poem, and the truth is that several smaller divisions are necessary if every production is to be placed where it belongs. But while it is desirable to know whether one is reading a lyric, an epic, or a drama, it is far more important to enjoy a beautiful poem than to be able properly to classify it. The following list may prove useful to those who wish to know more of the poets represented in this volume than can be learned from the short sketches of their lives which it includes＜/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＞Jason escaped the infinite loops of the outer woods, but his real trial has just begun.＜/p＞ ＜p＞He now stands before the decaying Cursed Keep, the only passage deeper into the simulation. The environment is more hostile, and the Sponsors are paying closer attention to the mathematical anomaly. The first hurdle is a colossal Troll guarding a crumbling stone bridge.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This is not a battle of magical might. Jason possesses no arcane spells or legendary weapons. He understands mass, velocity, and frictional coefficients. His survival depends on a precise, high-risk momentum exploit to trick the monster into the ravine. Once inside, the challenge becomes purely architectural. The Architect's Hall is filled with deadly pendulum traps. His only tools are the shattered bones of previous failures. He must use them as precise shims to disable the lethal mechanics.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Beyond the Keep lies a sun-scorched desert and a chaotic Shanty Town. Water is the only currency that matters here, rationed strictly by a ruthless Ledger. Every drop lost is a fatal error in calculation. The simulation demands technical perfection, especially as a massive Red Comet approaches, bringing a catastrophic systemic wipe. There is no time for errors.＜/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。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Literary Hearthstones of Dixie【電子書籍】[ La Salle Corbell Pickett ]

＜p＞The fires still glow upon the hearthstones to which our southern writers in the olden days gave us friendly welcome. They are as bright to-day as when, "four feet on the fender," we talked with some gifted friend whose pen, dipped in the heart's blood of life, gave word to thoughts which had flamed within us and sought vainly to escape the walls of our being that they might go out to the world and fulfil their mission. They who built the shrines before which we offer our devotion have passed from the world of men, but the fires they kindled yet burn with fadeless light. To us who have dwelt in the same environment and found beauty in the same scenes that inspired them to eloquent expression of the thoughts, the loves, the hopes, and the aspirations which were our own as well as theirs, these writers of our South are living still and will live through the long procession of the years. In the garden of our lives they planted the flowers of poesy, of fable, and of romance. With the changes of the years those flowers may have passed into the realm of the old-fashioned, like the blossoms in Grandmother's garden, but are there any sweeter or more royally blooming than these? The lustre of our gifted ones is not dimmed by the passage of time, but in the rush of new books upon the world the readers of to-day lose sight of the volumes which wove threads of gold into the joys and sorrows of the generation now travelling the downward slope of life. Their starry radiance is sometimes lost to view in the electric flash of the present day. If these pages can in any slight way aid in keeping their memory bright they will have reached their highest aim. The poets of Dixie in war days tended the flames that glowed upon the altar of patriotism. Their lives were given to their country as truly as if their blood had crimsoned the sod of hard-fought fields. They gave of their best to our cause. Their bugle notes echo through the years, and the mournful tones of the dirges they sang over the grave of our dreams yet thrill our hearts. Before our eyes "The Conquered Banner" sorrowfully droops on its staff and "The Sword of Lee" flashes in the lines of our Poet-Priest.＜/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。
