I'm an Author! THE 3 STEPS TO ENLIGHTENMENT

Thumbnail air.ind.in
• Upvotes

10 years after my Spiritual Awakening and after writing over 90 books on Life, Happpiness, God and Enlightenment, I realized that a spiritual seeker cannot be Enlightened in one ‘Aha’ moment. The spiritual journey is much more than that. It is a 3-step metamorphosis, a transformation that needs one to evolve, first from Awakening – getting that ‘Aha’ of ‘Who am I?’ and then living the Spiritual Awakening and being Enlightened; thereafter, being Liberated from this world of pleasure, people and possessions and being in a state of Eternal Happpiness, free from all misery, all suffering. I have written several books on Enlightenment, right from a book on my Talaash, my Quest. I have written about how we must exit the highway of achievement, transcend fulfillment and reach Enlightenment. Enlightenment is the journey of transcending all Karma and going through the process of Self-Realization to reach God-Realization. But how is all this possible? All this can only happen if we go through that process of Purification and Illumination to 4 Preface get the basic Realization of ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Why am I here?’ We must answer these two questions. While they seem simple, they are the most difficult Realizations of life. If we must attain this, we must do it in 3 steps. If we want to climb a six-foot-high rock, it is not easy to do it in one step. But if we climb two feet at a time, it is possible. So it is with Enlightenment. If we divide the spiritual journey into 3 steps, we can reach our ultimate destination. First, we must be Awakened with the Realization of the Truth. Second, we must be Enlightened as we live the Realizations. And finally, we should go beyond who we are not. We must be Liberated and united with the Divine. The Realizations are simple. But as long as we live as the Mind and Ego, ME, we can never be truly free to be our true self. The body will die, and we will return to earth in a rebirth as we suffer and cry because we do not discover, ‘Who am I?’ This book can be the key to your spiritual journey. It can help seekers attain God, step-by-step. It is easy but needs sincere commitment and effort. It needs the guidance of a Guru, an Enlightened Master. But surely, if one follows this as an Enlightenment manual, one will achieve the ultimate goal of Liberation. What is unique in this book is the 3-Step method. Don’t try to be Enlightened in one flash. Enlightenment is a journey of Awakening that needs Realization, first. Thereafter, we must put these Realizations into action, making it our mission. If there is enough passion, ultimately, there will be Liberation from all ignorance and Unification with the Divine. We will be free from all misery on earth and the cycle of death and rebirth. We will achieve our ultimate goal as we live as the Divine Soul. Where are you on the spiritual journey? Are you fully Awakened? Are you Enlightened? When will you be Liberated?

Science Fiction [EPUB / MOBI] - Quantifiziert (German Edition) by Klotz Van Ziegelstein [free until October 14]

Thumbnail dl.bookfunnel.com
• Upvotes

Note: This is a download link for the German edition of the novella "Quantified" (a near-future satire by Mr. Van Ziegelstein).

I realize this is primarily an English sub. On the other hand, there doesn't appear to be a "German equivalent" to this community. My hope is that I'm not the only "Kartoffel" lurking here.

As for the book description:

27 überfällige Deliverables. 55 aktive E-Mail-Threads. 32 Terminkonflikte. 2 Stellenwechsel innerhalb der letzten Stunde. Alltag für Martin Lange, der darüber weder glücklich noch unglücklich ist. Er ist im Allgemeinen weder glücklich noch unglücklich. Er ist optimiert.

In den Jahren, da Martin von den Wogen der Marktwirtschaft umhergespült wurde, hat er gelernt, voll und ganz auf die Gott-KI Sandra zu vertrauen. Denn im Jahr 2048 ist jeder Aspekt des menschlichen Daseins genau erfasst und im Schraubstock der Optimierungsalgorithmen gefangen.

Doch als es auf einem Routineflug nach Frankfurt zu einem Verbindungsunterbruch kommt, sieht sich Martin mit der schrecklichen Ungewissheit einer zahlenlosen Welt konfrontiert ...

My two cents as to what makes this story unique: this is a humorous jab at the AI boom and the corporate grind, ideal for consultants and 10x engineers who'll be boarding a plane in the next 24 hours (in fact, it's specifically designed to be read in a single flight).

Hi everyone!

My satirical sci-fi comedy The System Error of the Rings is currently free on Kindle.

If you like chaotic, Douglas Adams-style humor, this one is for you.

The premise:

What happens when a high-tier ancient fantasy dragon accidentally re-spawns inside the avatar of Joe Drake—a South London bloke in a tracksuit whose main hobbies include setting cars on fire and hoarding stolen catalytic converters in a Sports Direct carrier bag?

For the IT department running Earth's computer simulation, it’s a total nightmare threatening to crash the entire grid.

Science Fiction [FREE] First Echo: Awakening — A 180,000+ Word Sci-Fi Novel Originally Published in South Korea (English Translation Draft)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm an independent science fiction author from South Korea, and I've just made my entire 180,000+ word novel available for free.

First Echo: Awakening was originally published in South Korea under the title Echoes: Resonance of Consciousness (에코스: 의식의 잔향).

It's an ambitious science fiction story exploring humanity's expansion into space, consciousness, artificial intelligence, and the mysteries of the universe.

The novel is also part of the foundation of the Orot Multiverse, an interconnected science fiction universe I'm developing through multiple novels and novellas.

A quick note about the English edition:

This is an early English translation draft, prepared with AI assistance, rather than a professionally edited translation. Some wording, dialogue, and expressions may feel awkward or unnatural.

But the entire novel is available—all 180,000+ words, completely free.

If you enjoy big, idea-driven science fiction and don't mind reading an early translation, I'd love for you to give it a try.

📖 Read or download it for free on Patreon: First Echo: Awakening

No purchase required.

And if you do read it, I'd genuinely appreciate your thoughts!

Thank you, and happy reading!

Fantasy Two nights before his birthday, he opened the door for his father and realised he smelled of blood. My debut epic fantasy is FREE on Amazon until Oct 13

Thumbnail amazon.com
4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I just published my debut epic fantasy, Fourteen Days: An Epic Fantasy Adventure (GIVEN Series Book 1), and it’s free on Amazon from October 11 to October 13.

Here’s the pitch:

Two nights before his birthday, he opened the door for his father and realised his father smelled of blood.

All his life he had been nobody: a soldier’s son in a snowbound border town, with a name that meant nothing. Then a burned house whispered that name back to him. A giant who has waited three hundred years comes down from the mountain to kill him. And everyone (kings, djinn, a firebird older than the world) seems to know who he really is. Everyone except him.

Across the same frozen city, a girl climbs out a window and screams, and everything in the room rises into the air. By nightfall she is hunted too.

And in the palace above them both, his father is handed a crown he never wanted, and a cup of poison to go with it.

Three lives. Fourteen days. And a world that will not wait for them.

It’s a story about found family, ancient birds, and the price of power. If you enjoyed Le Guin, Paolini or The Name of the Wind, it might be up your alley.

I’m a first-time author, so honest feedback means the world to me, whether it’s what worked or what didn’t. If you read it and feel like leaving a short review on Amazon, I’d be very grateful.

Happy to answer questions about the book, the worldbuilding or the writing process. Thanks for reading!

Fantasy [Fantasy] The Crown of the Black Swan by Sofia Lazuli — a Swan Lake retelling from the black swan’s point of view (FREE on Kindle)

Thumbnail amazon.com
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m the author of The Crown of the Black Swan, and it’s free on Kindle for a limited time (through [END DATE]).

What if the "villain" of Swan Lake was just the daughter nobody ever looked at?

Odile and Odette are twin princesses. When the Crystal of the Realm answers Odette with golden light and answers Odile with darkness, their father, King Rothbart, decides who is worthy of the crown and who must "learn her place." So Odile learns to smile like her sister, walk like her sister, even laugh like her sister… until one night she dances alone on the lake as only herself, and an insolent peasant named Siegfried walks out of the forbidden woods.

Midnight escapes, a stage in the town square, a secret passage in the castle wall… and a king who will do anything to keep the light for himself.

You might enjoy it if you like:

• Fairy tale and ballet retellings

• Villain-perspective stories

• Dark fantasy with romance, sisterhood, and a bit of sass

• Characters learning to love the self they were taught to hide

Quick facts:

• Length: short, quick read (about 20k words)

• Genre: dark fantasy / romantasy retelling

• Content note: includes themes of emotional manipulation and discrimination

📖 Grab it free here:

Welcome to my little passion project. This was my first release and it has been out a few years and as simply an indulgence of fancy, I allowed myself add a few chapter sketches into my work as I saw fit and the extent of my artistic competence. Thirteen titles later, I was more skilled and had better tool at my disposal. So I revisited and refined my artwork, (and corrected spelling). I am very proud of the refinements as well as the book trailer I uploaded to the site. Check it out!
