"What is divine energy" is an incredibly profound but straightforward exposition of the "science of everything." In this landmark work, Dr. Vipin Gupta begins with the investigation of the quintessential questions for understanding divine energy and managing life joyfully. Who am I? What is the soul? What is the spirit? Who is God? What is religion? What is the purpose of our life? What happens after death? Do we become a star as childrens’ books tell us? What is dark matter? What is black hole? What is the center of the universe? Is there an Absolute or anything beyond that? Are we truly incapable of creating or destroying energy? Dr. Gupta traces the journey of a cell, its origins in an atom, its transformation into energy, and how energy norms the potential of divinity within each person. He clarifies ninety-six paths of self-development for realizing this potential. He shows that, contrary to the present understanding, a cell’s development involves thirty-three phases. The work is rooted in the state-of-the-art science of microbiological-macrophysical genetics, India's ancient cultural metaphysics, and a unique energy quantification of the dynamic benefits and costs of everything. It is a part of a series of twelve books that traverses through an understanding of the present reality that can be applied to one’s personal life and for societal impact. It offers an unusual integration, which the beta readers report as “never seen anything like this before” and “overwhelming because of its originality, technicality, and comprehensiveness.” Dr. Vipin Gupta has a Ph.D. in managerial science and applied economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He is a gold medalist from the Post-graduate Program of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, India. He is a Professor of sensible management and appropriate science at the Jack H. Brown College of Business and Public Administration, California State University San Bernardino, USA.

The Ascendant. The Descendant. The Midheaven. The Nadir. The angles of your birth chart represent the points where the energies of the planets make contact with reality in the most tangible sense - and that's because of their associations with the most important things in your life - your family, your partner and your career and - most of all - yourself. All of those things are the most important factors in determining your sense of who you are. The lines that connect those points form a cross known as the 'Cross of Matter' and it symbolises the current incarnation of your spirit on this earth. In astrology, the Cross of Matter is important because it provides the foundation for accurate natal chart interpretation. If you want to know how to deal with the realities of your existence and keep things held together, the Cross of Matter will tell you everything you need to know. In this book, Sara Shipman explains what the Cross of Matter represents in everyday terms, and she shows you how to interpret your cardinal points - the Ascendant (AC), Descendant (DC), Midheaven (MC) and Nadir (IC) in ways that are relevant to everyday, lived experience. This book includes: A full analysis of the Ascendant-Descendant axis by sign. A full analysis of the Midheaven-Nadir axis by sign. A full analysis of planetary aspects to each cardinal point. Take your understanding of astrology to the next level with this, the second book in the Real Life Astrology series of books.

Surgeon, explorer, and masterful storyteller, Kenneth Kamler takes us to the farthest reaches of the earth as well as into the uncharted territory within the human brain. Surviving the Extremes is a scientific nail-biter no reader will forget. Physiological constraints confine our bodies to less than one-fifth of the earth's surface. Beyond that fraction lie the extremes. What happens when we go to them? Dr. Kenneth Kamler has spent years observing exactly what happens. A vice president of the legendary Explorers Club, he has climbed, dived, sledded, floated, and trekked through some of the most treacherous and remote regions in the world. A consultant for NASA, Yale University, and the National Geographic Society, he has explored undersea caves, crossed the frozen Antarctic wastelands, and stitched a boy's hand back together while kneeling in knee-deep Amazonian mud. He was the only doctor on Everest during the tragic expedition documented in Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air and helped treat its survivors. Kamler has devoted his life to investigating how our bodies respond to "environmental insults"-a nice way of saying the things that can kill us-and watched while some succumbed to them and others, sometimes miraculously, overcome them. Words like "extreme" and "survival" have lost some of their value from overuse and media hype. By showing us what happens when life itself is at stake, and the body's capacities put to their greatest test, this book reminds us what they truly mean. Divided into six sections-jungle, open sea, desert, underwater, high altitude, and outer space-Surviving the Extremes uses first-hand testimony and documented accounts to illustrate what happens in environments where our instinctive survival strategies must become fully engaged. These stories reveal how infinitely complex are the workings of the human body-and also how heartbreakingly fragile. At the heart of this book is a quest for the source of our will to survive and the haunting question of why some can, and others cannot, summon its awesome and nearly mystical power at their moment of greatest need.
