“Fascinating . . . May has cemented her position as one of this generation's foremost storytellers. . . .This satisfying end to a remarkable feat of the imagination is a necessary purchase.”—Library Journal By the mid-twenty-first century, humanity is beginning to enjoy membership in the Galactic Milieu. Human colonies are thriving on numerous planets, life on Earth is peaceful and prosperous, and as more humans are being born with metapsychic abilities, it will not be long before these gifted minds at last achieve total Unity. But xenophobia is deeply rooted in the human soul. A growing corps of rebels plots to keep the people of Earth forever separate, led by a man obsessed with human superiority: Marc Remillard. Marc's goal is nothing less than the elevation of human metapsychics above all others, by way of artificial enhancement of mental faculties. His methods are unpalatable, his goal horrific. And so Marc and his coconspirators continue their work in secret. Only the very Unity he fears and abhors can foil Marc's plans. And only his brother, Jack the Bodiless, and the young woman called Diamond Mask can hope to lead the metaconcert to destroy Marc, Unify humanity, and pave the way for the Golden Age of the Galactic Milieu to begin . . . “A certain crowd-pleaser.”—Kirkus Reviews

In this timeless book, Galactic Soul History of the Universe presents 34 first-hand accounts of clients and their inspiring Soul Journeys throughout Creation. These remarkable past-life regression sessions were facilitated using the groundbreaking Angelic Universal Regression Alchemy (A.U.R.A.) Hypnosis Healing technique. Through A.U.R.A., we explore in-depth the experiences of our past, future and current lives meant for our highest healing under the guidance of our Higher Selves. Through these Higher Self aspects, we learn the enlightening truth of our Earth's History and our Universe. Activating memories within us that lay dormant to be awakened once more for our highest path of individual and collective Ascension. In these Soul Journeys, we will journey through soul remembrance of the Inverted A.I. Matrix, learning to weave through it so that we may graduate and begin operating instead in our organic timelines. Bridging forth the possibility of a fruitful Ascension into the Fifth Dimension or higher. Through these extraordinary Soul Journeys shared from first-hand A.U.R.A. Hypnosis Healing sessions in this book, we learn fascinating and in-depth details about: [ ] Our infinite capacity for self-healing, our soul sovereignty and our rebirth [ ] The human soul's evolution throughout Earth's History and beyond [ ] Who are the Reptilians and what is their purpose? What are Archons? [ ] Deep State Agenda: Human Trafficking, MK-Ultra, Military Abductions [ ] What is the Inverted A.I. Matrix and how do we graduate from it? [ ] The true construct of the Organic Matrix and sacred knowledge of the Universe [ ] Guidance for the Earth and the Universe's Ascension: "The Event" and New Earth [ ] The sacredness of Twin Flame Bonds [ ] Galactic Races of the Universe, the Angelics, and the RA Collective [ ] Exclusive channeled sacred knowledge from the Galactics [ ] I AM Aurora and this is what I strive to do for all, to remind you of these divine gifts awaiting to be reawakened once more. It is time to remember who you truly are, as you are divinely guided to be here. Thank you for following your heart to mine!

This is the definitive treatment of the phenomenology of galaxies--a clear and comprehensive volume that takes full account of the extraordinary recent advances in the field. The book supersedes the classic text Galactic Astronomy that James Binney wrote with Dimitri Mihalas, and complements Galactic Dynamics by Binney and Scott Tremaine. It will be invaluable to researchers and is accessible to any student who has a background in undergraduate physics. The book draws on observations both of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and of external galaxies. The two sources are complementary, since the former tends to be highly detailed but difficult to interpret, while the latter is typically poorer in quality but conceptually simpler to understand. Binney and Merrifield introduce all astronomical concepts necessary to understand the properties of galaxies, including coordinate systems, magnitudes and colors, the phenomenology of stars, the theory of stellar and chemical evolution, and the measurement of astronomical distances. The book's core covers the phenomenology of external galaxies, star clusters in the Milky Way, the interstellar media of external galaxies, gas in the Milky Way, the structure and kinematics of the stellar components of the Milky Way, and the kinematics of external galaxies. Throughout, the book emphasizes the observational basis for current understanding of galactic astronomy, with references to the original literature. Offering both new information and a comprehensive view of its subject, it will be an indispensable source for professionals, as well as for graduate students and advanced undergraduates.

Vulcan was a factory planet, centuries old, Company run, ugly as sin, and unfeeling as death. Vulcan bred just two types of native - complacent or tough ... and Sten was tough. When his family died in a mysterious accident, Sten rebelled, harassing the Company from the metal world's endless mazelike warrens. Sten would have ended up just another burnt-out Delinquent if he hadn't rescued a mysterious stranger who turned out to be his ticket of Vulcan - and an express ride back!

Between the Demarchists and the Conjoiners, the basic right to expand human intelligence-beyond its natural limits-has become a war-worthy cause. Only vast lighthugger starships bind these squabbling colonies together, manned by the panicky and paranoid Ultras. And the hyperpigs just try to keep their heads down.The rich get richer. And everyone tries not to think about the worrying number of extinct alien civilizations turning up on the outer reaches of settled space...because who's to say that humanity won't be next?
