Let The Universe Lead You!
Richard Dotts - 2015
Imagine what your life would be like if you could simply hold an intention for something… and then be led clearly and precisely, every single time, to the fulfilment of your deepest desires. No more wondering about whether you are on the “right” path or making the “right” moves. No more second-guessing yourself or acting out of desperation — You simply set an intention and allow the Universe to lead you to it effortlessly! According to Richard, the Universe does not always give you want you want, but it always gives you the vibrational essence of what you ask for. Understanding this spiritual principle is the key to your physical manifestations. This is why so many people do not get what they ask for in words or prayers despite wanting it so badly, because they do not realize the true vibrational essence of their asking. Once you open your eyes to the true vibrational essence of your intentions, you’ll see that the Universe always delivers a perfect match, every single time. Manifestations then become as simple as deliberately becoming a vibrational match to what you ask for until it happens in your outer reality!Let The Universe Lead You! is a groundbreaking book not only for fans of Richard Dotts but also for Richard himself. As he was writing this book, Richard manifested the perfect dream car for himself with all his desired options and features. He attributes this to the immense power of Reverse Manifestations, a technique which he introduced in Spontaneous Manifestations From Zero and expands upon in this book. Applying the process of Reverse Manifestations and connecting to the vibrational essence of his desires for himself, Richard was able to manifest his dream car in one Sunday afternoon. Two days later even before this book was completed, the car was sitting in his garage! Read about Richard’s amazing car manifestation experience in this book and find out how you can do it for yourself with any intention that you set your mind to. These techniques are open and available for anyone’s use, regardless of your current conditions or circumstances in life. They do not depend on willpower or luck. All it takes is a willingness to apply them in your life as described and to let your old ways of thinking and acting in this world go. When you give up the need to be in control and let the Universe lead you, that is when you’ll finally be led to your longstanding manifestations. As Richard puts it, “I started writing this book holding only the intention of the car in my consciousness. Two days later, as I followed the exercises while describing them in the book, the car was mine. Even a part of myself was surprised although I’ve been doing this for the longest time! I was gently led to my dream car in one afternoon after six months of doing nothing on the outside.”This is just a glimpse of what is possible when you practice the art of reverse manifestations, connect with the vibrational essence of your desires and allow yourself to be led by the Universe. The Universe always knows best, so let it lead you towards your manifestations!
Half Pleasure Half Pain
Mohamed Ghazi - 2016
This book is about the girls whose lives were ruined by me. I want to write about my story, for it’s the only way to be immortal. I want you to feel the pleasure of falling in love. The lust, the passion, the desire, and the craving that turns into an unhealthy addiction. And I want you also to feel the pain of losing someone, the ache, the agony, the bitterness, and the grief that cripples your soul forever. This is for everyone. The forgotten souls buried under the melancholy of the past. Yes, I will show you how much you hurt me, I will write. This is what my heart holds for you; half pleasure, half pain.

Tarumba: The Selected Poems
Jaime Sabines - 1979
He is considered by Octavio Paz to be instrumental to the genesis of modern Latin American poetry and “one of the best poets” of the Spanish language. Toward the end of his life, he had published for over fifty years and brought in crowds of more than 3,000 to a readings in his native country. Coined the “Sniper of Literature” by Cuban poet Roberto Fernández Retamar, Sabines brought poetry to the streets. His vernacular, authentic poems are accessible: meant not for other poets, or the established or elite, but for himself and for the people.In this translation of his fourth book, Tarumba, we find ourselves stepping into Sabines’ streets, brothels, hospitals, and cantinas; the most bittersweet details are told in a way that reaffirms: “Life bursts from you, like scarlet fever, without warning.” Eloquently co-translated by Philip Levine and the late Ernesto Trejo, this bilingual edition is a classic for Spanish- and English-speaking readers alike. Secretive, wild, and searching, these poems are rife with such intensity you’ll feel “heaven is sucking you up through the roof.” Jaime Sabines was born on March 25, 1926 in Chiapas, Mexico. In 1945, he relocated to Mexico City where he studied Medicine for three years before turning his attention to Philosophy and Literature at the University of Mexico. He wrote eight books of poetry, including Horal (1950), Tarumba (1956), and Maltiempo (1972), for which he received the Xavier Villaurrutia Award. In 1959, Sabines was granted the Chiapas Prize and, in 1983, the National Literature Award. In addition to his literary career, Sabines served as a congressman for Chiapas. Jaime Sabines died in 1999; he remains one of Mexico’s most respected poets. Philip Levine (translator) was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1928. He is the author of sixteen books of poetry, most recently Breath (Alfred A. Knopf, 2004). His other poetry collections include The Mercy (1999); The Simple Truth (1994), which won the Pulitzer Prize; What Work Is (1991), which won the National Book Award; New Selected Poems (1991); Ashes: Poems New and Old (1979), which received the National Book Critics Circle Award and the first American Book Award for Poetry; 7 Years From Somewhere (1979), which won the National Book Critics Circle Award; and The Names of the Lost (1975), which won the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize. He has received the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, the Harriet Monroe Memorial Prize from Poetry, the Frank O'Hara Prize, and two Guggenheim Foundation fellowships. Philip Levine lives in New York City and Fresno, California, and teaches at New York University.

Based on exhaustive research and in-depth interviews with the producer, the session musicians, studio personnel, management personnel, and others, Daryl Sanders chronicles the road that took Dylan from New York to Nashville in search of “that thin, wild mercury sound.” As Dylan told Playboy in 1978, the closest he ever came to capturing that sound was during the Blonde on Blonde sessions, where the voice of a generation was backed by musicians of the highest order.
