Book Description
The world is currently in a stage of great transformation. We are beginning to realize that the old ways of competition and 'survival of the fittest' are not sustainable for individuals, businesses, or the planet. We are now on the verge of something amazing. We have been given the opportunity to evolve our thinking. Although, at the same time, the planet is in the worst condition it has ever been in. Our unconscious acts of violence and pollution are resulting in the destruction of the very planet that allows us to live. The biggest threat to our existence is our own ignorance and our own unwillingness to change. With the industrial revolution came new technologies that allowed our species to flourish; what was once seen as a sign of growth and prosperity is now being looked back upon in hindsight as one of our biggest mistakes. But it is not too late. We are aware of the destruction we have caused and are still causing to this planet, and we are still alive-meaning that we still have time to change. We have reached the point in our history where we have to decide to either evolve as a species and change our lifestyle, or continue to act in destructive ways killing not only our planet, but all life on it, including ourselves. Since the biggest threat to the planet is our own behavior, the only way we can save ourselves is by changing our ways. In this book, we take an in-depth look at the ways in which humans are destroying the planet, the reasons why we are ignorant of the damage we cause, and the ways in which we can deprogram our unnatural and destructive habits and adapt to a more healthy and sustainable way of life. As we come to understand nature and ourselves, we will realize that world peace is only achievable through inner peace. If we want a peaceful world, we must all become peaceful people. Though this is only the beginning; the real challenge lies in changing our lifestyles to be more in tune with nature and to interact with our world in ways that preserve the environment not only for ourselves, but for future generations as well. We can no longer ignore the effects of our disconnected and self-centered ways, and time is running out before it will be too late to heal the damage that we have done to the Earth. Conscious Collective informs the reader about the current state of the world and draws awareness to the changes that we must make as a species. If we want a better world, each of us must take responsibility for helping to create it.

Book Description
Essays on hip-hop feminism featuring relevant, real conversations about how race and gender politics intersect with pop culture and current events. For the Crunk Feminist Collective, their academic day jobs were lacking in conversations they actually wanted. To address this void, they started a blog that turned into a widespread movement. The Collective’s writings foster dialogue about activist methods, intersectionality, and sisterhood. And the writers’ personal identities—as black women; as sisters, daughters, and lovers; and as television watchers, sports fans, and music lovers—are never far from the discussion at hand. These essays explore “Sex and Power in the Black Church,” discuss how “Clair Huxtable is Dead,” list “Five Ways Talib Kweli Can Become a Better Ally to Women in Hip Hop,” and dwell on “Dating with a Doctorate (She Got a Big Ego?).” Self-described as “critical homegirls,” the authors tackle life stuck between loving hip hop and ratchet culture while hating patriarchy, misogyny, and sexism. “Refreshing and timely.” —Bitch Magazine “Our favorite sister bloggers.” —Elle “By centering a Black Feminist lens, The Collection provides readers with a more nuanced perspective on everything from gender to race to sexuality to class to movement-building, packaged neatly in easy-to-read pieces that take on weighty and thorny ideas willingly and enthusiastically in pursuit of a more just world.” —Autostraddle “Much like a good mix-tape, the book has an intro, outro, and different layers of based sound in the activist, scholar, feminist, women of color, media representation, sisterhood, trans, queer and questioning landscape.” —Lambda Literary Review

Book Description
A 2021 Sydney Taylor Notable Book "The new manifesto for how we as queer people could and should navigate the world. It's the holding hand I never had--but wish I did."--Troye Sivan, Golden Globe nominated-singer, songwriter, and actor "With the persistence of queerphobia all around the world, this book is absolutely necessary, even vital."--Édouard Louis, internationally bestselling author of History of Violence "To Eli's credit, all of the rules are rooted in considerations of conscience and kindness and, if observed, will make a better world--as will this book."--Booklist, starred review "A must-read that highlights the importance of radical empathy, community building, and solidarity."--School Library Journal, starred review In The New Queer Conscience, LGBTQIA+ activist Adam Eli argues the urgent need for queer responsibility -- that queers anywhere are responsible for queers everywhere. Pocket Change Collective is a series of small books with big ideas from today's leading activists and artists. In this installment, The New Queer Conscience, Voices4 Founder and LGBTQIA+ activist Adam Eli offers a candid and compassionate introduction to queer responsibility. Eli calls on his Jewish faith to underline how kindness and support within the queer community can lead to a stronger global consciousness. More importantly, he reassures us that we're not alone. In fact, we never were. Because if you mess with one queer, you mess with us all.

Book Description
“The father of cognitive neuroscience” illuminates the past, present, and future of the mind-brain problem How do neurons turn into minds? How does physical “stuff”—atoms, molecules, chemicals, and cells—create the vivid and various worlds inside our heads? The problem of consciousness has gnawed at us for millennia. In the last century there have been massive breakthroughs that have rewritten the science of the brain, and yet the puzzles faced by the ancient Greeks are still present. In The Consciousness Instinct, the neuroscience pioneer Michael S. Gazzaniga puts the latest research in conversation with the history of human thinking about the mind, giving a big-picture view of what science has revealed about consciousness. The idea of the brain as a machine, first proposed centuries ago, has led to assumptions about the relationship between mind and brain that dog scientists and philosophers to this day. Gazzaniga asserts that this model has it backward—brains make machines, but they cannot be reduced to one. New research suggests the brain is actually a confederation of independent modules working together. Understanding how consciousness could emanate from such an organization will help define the future of brain science and artificial intelligence, and close the gap between brain and mind. Captivating and accessible, with insights drawn from a lifetime at the forefront of the field, The Consciousness Instinct sets the course for the neuroscience of tomorrow.

Book Description
When collaboration works, the results can be breath-taking! But it doesn’t always deliver on its potential. Collaboration has been defined as "an unnatural act practiced by non-consenting adults". And often that’s exactly what it is! Some collaboration can be painfully difficult with the result that problems are either ignored or smoothed over until the collaboration falters or disintegrates, or self-interest and personal agendas take over and conflict quickly arises. Collaboration and partnerships work well in the aid sector because they have to – no one body has the resources to solve massive problems on their own. Business often sees the advantages of collaboratively sharing costs without fully recognizing the shift in mindset that is required to take managers with a “winner takes all” worldview and get them performing effectively in a win-win world. Part of the solution lies in bringing consciousness to the workplace and developing it as a core competence. A conscious approach to business relationships, planning, and delivery can enable individuals and organizations to truly think about what they are doing, make changes where needed, and become more effective. It is a particularly effective way of managing the multiple and occasionally conflicting stakeholder objectives inherent in any collaborative project. The author draws on his experience in the aid sector and with non-profit organizations to describe the building blocks that underpin successful collaboration, and inspires us to re-think the way we work together, for good.

Book Description
The Force of Life was a single spectacular stream from Source that poured into this universe. Creating Order from Chaos and structuring life in its wake as Cosmic Evolution continues to move forward. As our great Milky Way hangs like a dazzling flower in the sea of Cosmic Flowers, do we not see the life force as it seeds and blooms? Soupy cosmic particles organize into heavenly bodies and burst forth with new particles, ever-growing and reaching outward. Collecting all life force and gently releasing it into a transmigration of new forms as it expands. This is likened to a magnificent Firework display in the night sky. The Firework is solid, hand crafted with care by its creator as they dream of the fascination it will instill in the watching eyes. But what these captivated eyes are truly laying witness to is cosmic existence in moments. First solid in form, these fireworks are sparked by fire and shot upward into the night sky. Silent and unseen for a time they then evolve into a brilliant display and scatter across the horizon reflecting off all eyes to witness them. The people entertained will keep this experience of joy and continue going about their duties. Yet it isn't over. Beyond this great presentation these fireworks from solid matter, become countless lights, and then transmigrate into particles that scatter into lighter and lighter expansion. Ending in a complete absorption of that which it was first hinder by in the material world. For from a collection of matter it was formed, through ignition freed, and then able to merge with a higher form of matter. Life is a continuation of separating and reconnecting, breaking off and reforming, of which we have become aware of. Through this awareness we have become anxious and even afraid. Solar Systems explode into the outer regions of space and reform with new life, one that has the blueprints from the past and the added growth of new information. This Life Force continues to expand as it creates new developments on the outmost regions of its petals. From the cosmic view this is much like a slow-moving wave gathering all particles and pushing them forward. From the planetary concept, it's an aggressive explosion. Thus, on the farthest areas of the Milky Way we have a new seed expressed in Human Life. I bring forth The Sacred Doctrines, Perennial Teachings, and Ancient Wisdom within this book as I will follow the original line of consciousness and how it has spread throughout this known universe. I will give to us the Conscious Path throughout the three origins of this earth's cycle. They are the belief structures that evolved from Animism in European, Indian, and Paleo-Indian. I will now explain how the Plane of Dark, created by The Universal Mind was corrupted and is attempting to be taken over by The Outer Universe within our own Galaxy. I will now give full details to the Higher Hierarchies and their place in our spiritual evolutions as I now enlighten us to The Plane of Holy. The Dragon Council will be now discussed, for universal consciousness cannot fully be achieved until they are brought into our collective understanding. Hermetics, Gnostic Doctrines, and Kabballah will now lay the groundwork for Quantum Physics evolved understandings of The Multiverse. I have methodically moved us slowly into these realizations throughout the last two books which will fully coalesce here. I very much appreciate the consciousness brought forth from Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Rudolf Steiner, the Complete Book of Enoch, Aldous Huxley, Graham Hancock, Annie Besant, C.S. Lewis, and DK. For they must know that the fragments are made whole through their commitments to find truth in and ever evolving existence. I capture our expanse here but know that this too is but a temporary stop in a miniscule point within The Whole.

Book Description
After the Future explores a century-long obsession with the concept of the "future," starting with Marinetti's "Futurist Manifesto," tracing it through the punk movement of the early 70s, and into the media revolution of the 90s. The future, Bifo argues, has come and gone, the concept has lost its usefulness. Now it's our responsibility to decide what comes next.
