Social Reality

Rough Beast is Máiría Cahill's harrowing story of her life and of what she went through at the hands of what is now Ireland’s largest and richest party. That story is told here for the first time in full detail and with unsparing honesty. It is a story of unimaginable trauma and political corruption. It brings to life a world of paramilitary secrecy and parallel laws, but above all it is the story of one young woman’s defiance of the power wielded by ex-gunmen inspiring fear and silence, and their influence over elected politicians.

Economists insist that recovery is at hand, yet unemployment remains high, real estate values continue to sink, and governments stagger under record deficits. The End of Growth proposes a startling diagnosis: humanity has reached a fundamental turning point in its economic history. The expansionary trajectory of industrial civilization is colliding with non-negotiable natural limits.

We have such great potential as human beings.

My Focus Determines My Reality is a 4000 word exploration into the use of intention and the truth behind spiritual philosophies as well as providing proof of what is possible.

We may not always see what truly hides within the minds and hearts of certain people, and where we believe is a good, pure individual, lays a terrible murderer capable of the most horrible acts. Robert Berdella was one such man, a helpful and friendly individual who - in a spree separated by a few years - managed to capture and horrifically torture seven young men, murdering six along the way. Control and dominance were his tools, pain was his method.

The world you knew is disappearing. Truth is being rewritten, reality is being engineered, and those who control the machines control the future. We are living in an age where artificial intelligence is replacing human thought, digital systems dictate the boundaries of speech and belief, and global institutions are collapsing under the weight of their own deception. Every pillar of civilization—faith, family, freedom—is under siege by forces determined to remake humanity in their own image.

L'inimmaginabile accade. Da Oriente a Occidente l'epidemia di Covid-19 dilaga come una peste destinata a cambiare la vita umana sul pianeta Terra. Le metropoli si spengono. I supermercati si svuotano. Le strutture del sistema collassano. Metà della popolazione mondiale è reclusa in regime di quarantena. Giuseppe Genna scivola tra le maglie del lockdown per riempire di parole l'orrore impronunciabile, restituito a malapena dalla numerologia dei morti, opaco agli sguardi che spiano il mondo desolato.

Ever wondered why a rich Athenian who died 2,400 years ago still dominates Western thought? Or why your professor keeps talking about invisible triangles and prisoners staring at shadows? "Plato's Cave: Philosophy's First Reality Show" is the hilarious guide to Plato you never knew you needed. In this irreverent takedown of philosophy's founding father, author Sophia Blackwell translates Plato's lofty ideas into actual human language while mercilessly mocking his metaphysical obsessions, aristocratic biases, and suspicious fondness for "perfect forms."

Written during the last decade of her life, Light in the Dark represents the culmination of Gloria E. Anzaldúa's mature thought and the most comprehensive presentation of her philosophy. Throughout, Anzaldúa weaves personal narratives into deeply engaging theoretical readings to comment on numerous contemporary issues—including the September 11 attacks, neocolonial practices in the art world, and coalitional politics.

Human history is the story of symbols turning against their makers. Myths, laws, identities, each begins as a tool for survival, coherence, and meaning. But every symbol hardens. Every order closes. And when the lock tightens too far, collapse follows. The only thing that has ever broken the cycle is rupture. Visionaries, mystics, rebels, and neurodivergent minds have stepped outside the circle, cracked the mirror, and forced reality back in. Without them, every civilization would have suffocated in its own stories. Today, the lock-in is digital and global.

What do we see when we watch reality television? Sociologist and TV lover Danielle J. Lindemann takes a long, hard look in the “funhouse mirror” of this genre, from countless rose ceremonies on The Bachelor to the White House and more (so much more!). Beginning with the first episodes of The Real World, reality TV has not only remade our entertainment and cultural landscape—it also uniquely refracts our everyday experiences and social topography.

Delving deeply into each of these major focuses, Consciousness Reality & Purpose sets the listener upon a journey into themselves, the reality around them, and towards a fulfilling sense of purpose in the lives we each have to experience.

In today’s modern world it is even more important for you to have a steadfast relationship with Christ. However, new technologies, entertainment, political strife, and other worldly temptations are fundamentally dismantling your walk with God. This is the “Christian” reality.

This book examines how the human mind has constructed Western philosophy. What would a new history of Western philosophy be? Aren't there so many studies like that on the market already? Most histories of Western philosophy go in chronological order from the pre-Socratics up to the modern philosophers. But why does it have to be that way?

Are your manifestations taking too long to show up? And are you tired of waiting? Divine timing is a phrase that’s been floating around the spiritual community for quite some time now. It is the idea that everything in the Universe happens at "just the right moment" without you having any control over it. There are many missing links when it comes to law of attraction teachings. And one of the biggest ones is knowing how to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be. And even if you can't see a way out of your current reality, there is one.

Without consciousness there is nothing. Have you ever wondered why and how the world around you came to exist, and whether there might be an afterlife experience awaiting you after our physical bodies die? Might there actually be a God and a heaven of some sort? The hypothesis presented in this book is that our seemingly physical universe of matter and energy is a virtual simulation which is thought into existence by a universal consciousness which we call God.
