A paradigm is more than a feeling or a belief. It is an entire way of being a fundamental universal conviction that reverberates out into the universe

In The Abundance Paradigm, Joe Vitale, one of the pioneers of Internet marketing and one of the stars of the hit movie The Secret, shows you how to make the profound shift from a paradigm of scarcity in which you have “not enough” of the things you want and need to a paradigm of abundance in which you have more than enough of everything, at all times.

When you make this shift, you move beyond the Law of Attraction to the little-known Law of Creation and step into a world where you will:

• Align with the universe automatically instead of working to make it happen
• Manifest your desires spontaneously instead of thinking about it
• Get what you want immediately instead of waiting for it to show up
• Vitale offers Step by step techniques that will facilitate a complete paradigm shift to enable ideas to flow into your mind freely and openly
• Dissolve the limitation compromising your growth
• Erase toxicity from your relationships
• Clear your consciousness of negative judgement of yourself and others
• Protect your paradigm from harmful outside influences and interference

Firetime is coming to Ishtar. This once-in-a-millennium event occurs when one of the planet’s three suns encroaches on Ishtar’s surface, to disastrous effect. The nightmare rapidly approaching, barbaric tribes have declared war on their more civilized brethren in hopes of avoiding a natural extermination. Standing between the opposing forces are the colonists who settled on Ishtar after abandoning their home planet, Earth. But in this time of chaos and destruction, there is little the humans can do to aid their Ishtarian allies in the desperate fight for survival. The Terran powers, engaged in their own terrible conflict with a hostile alien race, will offer no help to the endangered planet. With a fiery doomsday on the way, the humans can do nothing but watch and wait—and pray for a miracle that will forestall the inevitable apocalypse.

A stunning work of speculative invention from one of the all-time masters of science fiction and fantasy, Poul Anderson’s classic Fire Time is a richly imagined tale of war, alien contact, and environmental catastrophe that brilliantly questions the concepts of right and wrong, good and evil, and heroism and villainy.

In a Las Vegas hotel room, a man awakes to confront his destiny

Dreaming, Jack hears voices: a frightened child in a hospital, a woman cheating on her husband, a death-row inmate. When he wakes, the voices recede, but they do not vanish. He is in a luxurious hotel room on the Vegas strip, and his body is covered in scars. Jack Strong is a patchwork man, his flesh melded together from dozens of men and women, and his mind is the same way. Countless lifetimes are contained within him: people whose time was cut short, and who see their place in Jack as a chance to make things right.

On behalf of one of them, Jack reignites a feud with corrupt casino bosses. Drawing on the skills of another, he beats the life out of two bodyguards. Jack fights for control as he lurches from impulse to impulse, certain that somewhere within him exists a soul. The answers may lie with whomever is tailing him in a sleek black car—if Jack can somehow confront him.
