Cloud 9: The Sky as Humanity’s First Screen The sky has always been more than just a backdrop to our lives—it is our first screen, our first mirror, our first source of content and creation. Long before technology, people looked upward to clouds, stars, winds, and waters for messages, guidance, and manifestations. Cloud 9 reframes the meaning of “being on cloud nine.” It’s not just about fleeting happiness or love—it’s about standing in the eye of divine power, where storms cleanse, clouds form sacred symbols, and energy is released for transformation.

This book is the shorter version of my book Paul’s Agon. It seeks to provide a more succinct expression of the key points in that book which is over 500 pages. These chapters represent the issue of what the Apostle Paul actually did and how it has impacted during the two centuries since he invented Christianity and Jesus.

When a group of people decides that their views cannot be wrong, they give themselves license to engage in whatever activities they think are justified. Yet, the view that they cannot be wrong is the height of bigotry. Such people think it is immoral to disagree with them. In fact, for them, only immoral people would stand against them. This state of affairs exists today and there are two groups who think they can’t be wrong. These are the communists and the Christians. Both groups, and their associated fringe groups, fight each other for the right to control the lives of men without ...

Reincarnation and Near-Death Experiences- Both of these phenomena are as unnerving as they are ancient. From the first steps mankind took from the caves, religion held to the hope of life after death. This strange belief is a core tenet of Buddhism, Hinduism, and even early Gnostic Christianity. The child who remembers dying in a war, to a woman harkening back to her life in Egypt, there is something here that science cannot explain away. In this book, Author Steve E. Asher explores these subjects leaving it to the reader on its validity.

Throughout the ages believers have been persecuted: usually for believing in the "wrong" God. So have non-believers who have denied the existence of God as superstitious rubbish. Today it is the agnostics who are given a hard time. They are scorned by believers for their failure to find faith and by atheists for being hopelessly wishy-washy and weak-minded. But John Humphrys is proud to count himself among their ranks. In this audiobook he takes us along the spiritual road he himself has travelled.

A bold philosophical defense of existential nihilism based on modern science. * * * When we imagine a machine, the result is always something close to a mechanical system that works by itself. It doesn’t bother us to think that it’s nothing beyond that. But how do we feel when we imagine ourselves as a machine? Empty. We have the feeling that something is missing. And what is missing? What’s there in a human that is missing in a machine? Illusion. The emptiness of the machine is the consciousness that our subjective world is a fiction; the consciousness that our humanity is a delirium...

Regarding your life and your brief existence on Earth, is that all there is? If you have ever felt that there is more here than an exclusively physical reality, you may be surprised to discover that scientific data from astronomy, quantum physics, biology, neuropsychology and cosmology actually confirms your intuition.
