Millie is having a bad day. Her book manuscript has been rejected, she has been fired from her job and then, on top of that, she witnesses a terrible hit-and-run collision. She calls an ambulance for the victim and, while she waits for it to arrive, he asks a favour of her - to deliver his briefcase to a man whose name and address he gives her - but then, when her back is turned, he disappears. The briefcase contains a document that she can't resist reading. It appears to be a report which claims that an extraordinary, secret truth belies the whole of humankind. Millie is certain that it's a product of someone's imagination and the victim must be a writer or publisher, but then why is a stranger trying to persuade her that it's true? What is Project Human? And how is Millie's future inextricably tied to whether it's fact or fiction?

It takes a community to save a King's lifeA creative re-telling of documented historical events in and around White Ladies Manor and Boscobel House in Shropshire, England during the future King Charles II's sojourn there after the Battle of Worcester in September 1651. Historical facts and characters are woven into a fictional narrative told largely by a herbalist, Dame Sarah Kinver, who uses her healing practice, alongside other members of the two households, in a desperate battle to save Charles from dying of hypothermia and exhaustion; and to help him escape from Parliamentarian forces who would execute him if they found him. The story addresses the tension between holy vocation and witchcraft in which healing was perceived in 17th Century England. Sarah's sacred calling to serve God through caring for others is tested and pushed to new limits as she cares for Charles. Will saving Charles' life cost Sarah her own? Can her vow of celibacy withstand the charms of this traumatised Prince in need of tender loving care?¿

I am simply just a woman who met the wrong person; I am a mother who just loves her kids; I am a person who strived to keep her family together against all odds; I was a naive, young bride and mother who could never have been prepared for the hand that I was dealt in life.I have written this book to hopefully address and help other people like me in a situation where you believe it is impossible to escape; a prison where you are wearing invisible chains; where you are constantly wondering what you could have possibly done so wrong to deserve this treatment; a mother racked with guilt at the thought of breaking up her family; a woman whose voice becomes silent for her own protection; and most of all a person who has absolutely no self-worth and accepts this as normal.My absolute wish is to eradicate domestic abuse, coercive control and parental alienation from this world - these acts KILL many thousands of people every year. We all need to be aware and speak out for victims of these despicable crimes who have no voice!- Ally Garbutt

Sussing Life and the OracleSussing Life describes in three steps how I have tried to follow the Oracle of Delphi's instruction to "Know Myself". PersonalitiesContemplating personality types helped me to understand myself and other people, develop my interpersonal skills and understand my inner nature. The word personality comes from Latin persona meaning a mask. Human beings are all made of the same stuff, but manifest with different masks, strengths, weaknesses, and habitual tendencies. SkillsContemplating personality types helped me recognise my strengths to build on, and weaknesses and habits I needed to manage. I saw clearly, how to improve a wide range of interpersonal skills.HappinessWhen I looked carefully within, I saw that behind my mask I am not my 'personality'. I saw clearly that my thoughts, emotions, habitual reactions, and actions are what I do, not what I am. What I am is awareness or consciousness and I was delighted to find this world view is supported by some leading scientists and non-scientific thinkers. Sussing Life has given me a happy understanding of myself, other people, and the world. May it do the same for you.Hamish Somerville, Basel, November 2021

A concept is described for the creation of matter from energy based on an entity I have named a forcicle, an entity of energy, which must form the basis for a theory for everything. It is a building block for matter but will not really be understood until a method has been discovered for studying forces and forcicles, the basic building blocks of life. Only then will it be possible to fill in the blanks to create a real theory for everything. This theory describes one possible format which seems to encompass everything necessary, not only for the creation of matter and life but also for matter itself to be recycled indefinitely. It also described what light, heat and frequency could be. This may or may not be close to the truth but if it makes people think, then this document will have served its purpose.

How can we integrate the scientific image of the world with our own experience of existence, without compromising either?How can the macro-scale events of cosmology, biological evolution and cultural acquisition, which are evolving through time and have a history and a memory, be the same thing as the micro-scale events described by physics and chemistry, which remain constant, without either history or memory?For philosophical monism to be plausible, systems at different scales must have different ordering principles. There must be asymmetries between them, so that the evolving systems at the macro-scale can co-exist with the constant systems at the micro-scale.
