The Holocaust as Seen Through the Innocence of a Child
Summary
My story is the story of murder, mass murder, on a scale that was until then unknown. It was premeditated and committed in cold blood. The murderers were Germans and the murdered, the Jews of Holland. The Jews were, in a process of disenfranchisement and isolation, robbed of everything, transported and in a systematic-scientific, technically efficient manner, murdered. They were city folk and farmers, orthodox, agnostic and atheist, healthy and sick, old and young, families and individuals, Dutch and Aliens: men, women, and children. Without hurry, well thought out, registered, and regimented. The murderers were often not brutes nor illiterates, but academics and intellectuals with an abiding love for literature, sculpture, and music: Many were caring fathers and mothers and during the holiday season celebrated Christmas, and, thereafter, resumed their labour: the murder of countless men, women, and children, defenceless people, fellow human beings. Mine is but one story, as seen through the eyes of one child. There are millions more.

Survival
Summary
We communicate with our cells in many different ways: prayer, meditation, yoga, music, poetry, exercise, running, cycling, walking, and many more ways. I will attempt to demonstrate that life’s adventure is the very medium that will let us live a wholesome, healthy life based on common sense and breakthrough pioneering research. Knowledge is part of the equation, so the more we know, the better informed we become to make those crucial decisions so important for good health. It is a cautionary tale about free will and the influence we exercise over our own well-being. Some of it may sound farfetched, but like everything else in our journey of discovery, we owe to ourselves to make this life as good as it can get for all of us. In my previous book Science and Religion Is a Match Made in Heaven, I explored the close similarities of existence, whether existence is mineral, vegetable, or animal and drawing a correlation by viewing all existence as common consciousness. I study the energy operating at different frequencies and amplitudes, and attempt to grasp it through the language of science of Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Deepak Chopra, Erwin Schrödinger, Stephen Hawking, and others, or the metaphysical language of Aristotle and Socrates, or the spiritual language of Jesus the Christ, Moses, Abraham, Buddha, Baha’u’llah, or the music of Beethoven, Mozart and Rush or the language of mathematics of Euclid, Buckminster Fuller, and above all, the language of nature, through its beauteous colors, sounds and wonderful shapes, only to realize that in the end, no matter what language of communication is used, the similarities they all exude are all alluding to the same phenomenon, the close similarity of existence and the realization that the one entity, because of his intellect, can tie it all together and is also at the center of it all - man. We have an obligation to share with all existence what we know. That is why knowledge is consciousness, and consciousness belongs to us all.

Future Shock Is Here. What Do We Do Now, Alvin?
Summary
New ways of creating wealth don’t come along very often and they usually bring with them new ways of doing things. It changes family dynamics and the way we carry out everyday life. Such a new wealth system is about to explode on the scene, brought about by a new civilization of consumers: those who shop on the internet. Today’s wealth “revolution” will not only replace old technologies, but it will also profoundly alter institutions as today’s traditional role economies change into knowledge economies. This internet generation will radically change the way we do things. It will affect the way we buy art, music, fashion, cars, food, the way we bank, and the way we exercise and meditate. It will develop new attitudes in the way we practice religion and it will profoundly alter personal freedom.

The Theory of Everything Explained in a Simple Way
Summary
In the Talmud, the subtle relationship between the individual reflective mind (man) and the universal consciousness (God), as reflected in the dialogue between Abraham and God, went something like this: God says to Abraham: “If it weren’t for Me, you wouldn't exist.” Abraham thoughtfully replies, “Yes, that’s very true Lord. I thank you for that. But, if it weren’t for me, nobody would know about you.” Both together are necessary for one another. The story of existence itself does not exist without both participants. The innermost secret of life is that simple, an intimate relationship between the Creator and the created. Man knows what God knows. It is man’s collective responsibility to learn and share. God’s Knowledge and man’s knowledge is entangled. Therein lies the explanation to the one theory that explains everything. What entangled means, in this concept, is that they are one and the same. Since we as human beings are constrained by time and space and even though according to the principle of entanglement, we ought to know what God knows, so is our knowledge constrained by time and space. This means that we know it, but not yet. We feel proud with the knowledge of Einstein’s theory of relativity. After all, we are of the few that understand it.
