    The Initiates of the Flame , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 104min
    Few realize that even at the present stage of civilization in this world, there are souls who, like the priests of the ancient temples, walk the earth and watch and guard the sacred fires that burn upon the altar of humanity. Purified ones they are, who have renounced the life of this sphere in order to guard and protect the Flame, that spiritual principle in man, now hidden beneath the ruins of his fallen temple. As we think of the nations that are past, of Greece and Rome and the grandeur that was Egypt's, we sigh as we recall the story of their fall; and we watch the nations of today, not knowing which will be the next to draw its shroud around itself and join that great ghostly file of peoples that are dead.  But everywhere, even in the rise and fall of nations, we see through the haze of materiality, justice; everywhere we see reward, not of man but of the invincible One, the eternal Flame. A great hand reaches out from the unseen and regulates the affairs of man. It reaches out from that great spiritual Flame which nourishes all created things, the never dying fire that burns on the sacred altar of Cosmos - that great fire which is the spirit of God. If we turn again to the races now dead, we shall, if we look, find the cause of their destruction. The light had gone out. When the flame within the body is withdrawn, the body is dead. When the light was taken from the altar, the temple was no longer the dwelling place of a living God.  Degeneracy, lust, and passion, hates and fears, crept into the souls of Greece and Rome, and Black Magic overshadowed Egypt; the light upon the altar grew weaker and weaker. The priests lost the Word, the name of the Flame. Little by little the Flame flickered out, and as the last spark grew cold, a mighty nation died, buried beneath the dead ashes of its own spiritual fire. But the Flame did not die. Like spirit of which it is the essence, it cannot die, because it is life, and life cannot cease to be. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dennis Logan.

    Writings on the Wall: A Volume of Poems , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 17min
    Writings on the Wall is a series of poems begun when my father was getting weaker as the aging process continued to decrease his abilities. I was with him when he went to the ER and then into ICU. When I was sitting with him talking with him, he would often point to the corner in the room and say who is writing on the wall. I would ask him who is writing? What are they writing? He would look at me and just nod his head in a knowing manner.This series of poems was written in a very short time as I wanted to finish it for him before he left this world. I did not accomplish that. But I share them with others who have seen what he saw and have been to the wall or beyond. Take a moment and remember those writings which you saw and read. May they be your spiritual guide as you live your life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gus Farrar. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/157041/bk_acx0_157041_sample.mp3.

    Venus Virus , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 395min
    New London: 2067 Britain struggles to rebuild after the crushing devastation of the Great Flood. Those in power have formed a new regime in the wake of the disaster. Whether it is a hard-won utopia or an oppressive nightmare depends entirely on gender. Unmarried women have no legal rights or protection, and their access to education and employment is limited to ensure their servitude. Yet a fire burns within them to prove they are far from the weaker sex, and their rebellion seeks to tear down the patriarchal rule. Cerys and Gloria have very different dreams, but a common enemy. Joining an underground alliance, they discover a group of scientists in possession of a weapon powerful enough to change society forever. Their radical solution is not without great risk. Failure means death or imprisonment. Success could land them in a seat of authority, over a society that loathes them, without the requisite skills to thrive. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Better Half
    An award-winning physician and scientist makes the game-changing case that genetic females are stronger than males at every stage of life 'A powerful antidote to the myth of a "weaker sex"' Gina Rippon, author of The Gendered Brain From birth, genetic females are better at fighting viruses, infections and cancer. They do better at surviving epidemics and famines. They live longer, and even see the world in a wider variety of colours. These are the facts; they are simply stronger than men at every stage of life. Why? And why are we taught the opposite? Drawing on his wide-ranging experience and cutting-edge research as a medic, geneticist and specialist in rare diseases, Dr Sharon Moalem reveals how the answer lies in our genetics: the female's double XX chromosomes offer a powerful survival advantage. And he calls for a long-overdue reconsideration of our one-size-fits-all view of the body and medicine - a view that still frames women through the lens of men. Revolutionary, captivating and utterly persuasive, The Better Half will make you see women, men and the survival of our species anew.
