The Web of Debt
Summary
Exploding the myths about money Our money system is not what we have been led to believe. The creation of money has been "privatized", or taken over by a private money cartel. Except for coins, all of our money is now created as loans advanced by private banking institutions - including the private Federal Reserve. Banks create the principal but not the interest to service their loans. To find the interest, new loans must continually be taken out, expanding the money supply, inflating prices, and robbing you of the value of your money. Web of Debt unravels the deception and presents a crystal clear picture of the financial abyss toward which we are heading. Then, it explores a workable alternative, one that was tested in Colonial America and is grounded in the best of American economic thought, including the writings of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln. If you care about financial security, your own or the nation's, you should listen to this audiobook. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The Astral Plane Debates
Summary
The human dilemma is that we have an innate tendency to conflate our current brain state with how reality apart from ourselves really is, forgetting, in the process, that our subjective experiences may be inaccurate or misleading representations of our objective surroundings. There are, of course, good evolutionary reasons for why this is the case, since in our struggle for survival, we have to rely on our mental maps (and take them seriously) in order to find food, ward or fight off enemies, secure housing, find mates, protect offspring, and so on. But often, our internal projections can be deceiving, especially if our relatively stable waking state gets biochemically altered. Cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, amnesia, bipolar disorder, and fever-induced deliriums dramatically change how we interact and interpret the world around us. We can also consciously manipulate our consciousness by ingesting a variety of drugs, each providing a slightly different lens by which to see ourselves and others. In religion, there is a long history of individuals who have had inner visions and inspirations that they have taken to be revelations from God or a higher power and have created their own unique movements on the basis of it. That such mystical encounters may be only byproducts of their own minds and have nothing to do with angels or divine beings doesn’t arise, since its evidential reality is too overwhelming to doubt. What we confront here is a perennial conundrum. Given that mystical experiences are plentiful and that our brains seemed almost universally wired for them, the outstanding question that remains is one of explanation: How do we best interpret and adjudicate these apparently transcendental excursions and how? Richard Feynman and John Lilly, though friends, debate this issue.

Scratch Programming
Summary
The beauty in programming lies in the ability to create. As children, we conjure images of fantastical worlds within our head - imagining places, people, adventures, and monsters in an unending spiral of creation. Programming brings our imagination into the practical world, where we can create worlds that bend to our rules and enact anything you say. In essence, we become gods - limited only by the confines of our computers. If Scratch is the door, then this book is your key, as it is filled with everything you need to understand and master the application. In this audiobook, you will find information on: The basics of Scratch - inclusive of an explanation of the different parts of the interface Programming and designing applications in Scratch Sample projects with step-by-step solutions Once you’ve completed listening to the book, you will have an open door to a world ready to be shaped by you. Whether you’re planning to become a programming hobbyist or a full-time developer, this book will guide you toward that path. Your journey, however, doesn’t end here. Scratch only, well, scratches the surface of the depths of programming. Many languages ultimately allow you to create thousands of different applications. Becoming God was a dream, thought to be impossible - until now!
