In every neighborhood, there's always that one dog. That one dog who is a little more curious, a little more restless, and possesses an undeniable spark in its eyes that makes it impossible to ignore. This is a tale about one such dog - a spirited and intelligent dog named Rex. Rex was unlike any other dog. He was not content with merely chasing his tail, barking at squirrels, or fetching tennis balls. Instead, he dreamed of the stars. Yes, you heard that right. Rex, a humble dog from a quiet neighborhood, had his snout pointed not towards the nearest bone, but towards the vast expanse of the cosmos. This might seem like a fantastical dream, especially for a canine. But as you will soon discover, Rex was not an ordinary canine, and his dream was not just a whimsical whim. It was a burning desire, one that led him on an extraordinary adventure that spanned from the confines of his backyard to the moon's barren landscape. This is a tale that is as heartwarming as it is hilarious, filled with moments that will make you chuckle, gasp, and maybe even shed a tear or two. It's a story about daring to dream, no matter who you are or where you come from. It's about friendship, courage, and the innate curiosity that drives us all to explore and discover. So, sit back, relax, and let us embark on this journey together. Let us follow Rex as he dreams, explores, and achieves what no dog has done before. Welcome to "The Dogstronaut: Rex's Out-of-this-World Adventure."

The planets and their effect on the human race are at the heart of this stellar collection of provocative science fiction short stories, Adventures in the Cosmos by Darryl L. Gopaul. A second menacing moon appears in one story, which awakens powerful new forces on Earth. In another story, humanoids venture onto Earth and start to behave very differently than they usually do, right up until the moment they are called back to their home planet. In other stories, humans face a new biological phenomenon or gain new abilities, like telepathy. Hinting that strange, powerful forces are quietly guiding humans on Earth, Gopaul probes the possibilities that exist in the deepest pockets of outer space and right here on our home planet. Inspiring, stunning, and sometimes shocking, Adventures in the Cosmos shows that while the universe is our new frontier, it will take not just bravado but understanding to conquer or control it. A thinking person's collection of sci fi, Adventures in the Cosmos is both beautifully written and bolstered by the expertise of Gopaul, who is a microbiologist. In story after story, he prods you to see the earth, the planets, and yourself in new and original ways.

The pioneering author of The Way of the Shaman continues his exploration of universal shamanism in this “wonderful, fascinating” guide (Carlos Castaneda) In 1980, Michael Harner blazed the trail for the worldwide revival of shamanism with his seminal classic The Way of the Shaman. In this long-awaited sequel, he provides new evidence of the reality of heavens. Drawing from a lifetime of personal shamanic experiences and more than 2,500 reports of Westerners’ experiences during shamanic ascension, Harner highlights the striking similarities between their discoveries, indicating that the heavens and spirits they’ve encountered do indeed exist. He also provides instructions on his innovative core-shamanism techniques, so that readers too can ascend to heavenly realms, seek spirit teachers, and return later at will for additional healing and advice. Written by the leading authority on shamanism, Cave and Cosmos is a must-read not only for those interested in shamanism, but also for those interested in spirituality, comparative religion, near-death experiences, healing, consciousness, anthropology, and the nature of reality.
