Go Where There Is No Path
For all who dare to go off the beaten track, this is the inspirational, power-packed playbook for transforming your life and your world?from a young, Black social entrepreneur whose dorm-room tech startup, Scholly, has helped millions pay for college and access unprecedented opportunity. Christopher Gray grew up in deep poverty in Birmingham, Alabama. An academic star, he had every qualification for attending a top college?except for the financial means. Desperate, Gray headed off the beaten path, applying for every scholarship he could find. His hustle resulted in awards of 1.3 million dollars and inspired him to create a startup called Scholly, an app that matches college applicants with millions of dollars in scholarships that often go unclaimed. As a senior at Drexel University, Gray appeared on Shark Tank and, in the most heated fight in the show's history, was challenged on whether his app was a charity or a profitable business. Both, he insisted, proposing a new paradigm for social entrepreneurship and netting deals from Lori Greiner and Daymond John. At the time Scholly had 90,000 users. Today the app has 4 million subscribers who have won scholarships totaling more than $100 million. Meanwhile, Gray has emerged as a tech startup superhero now tackling the crisis of student debt with innovative, unrivaled strategies. Gray's story is proof that when you create opportunities for others, you enrich the marketplace for yourself too. He shows us, we can carve out new paths to better days and leave trails for others.

WARLORDS OF GELANDOR
In search of the High King. The Great Creator made the stars and planets in order to fill the vast emptiness of Space. When He had placed them, and was satisfied he had but one task left. He threw a myriad of Blue planets randomly into His created Universe and allowed them to fall and settle where they would. The Blue planets were his true master pieces. On them the inhabitants were created to echo in an infinitely smaller way, the Master architect's persona. The intention was that on these blue spheres Humanity would evolve to be the dominant species. They were to be left to their own devices and it would be inevitable that some would be peaceable places of love and harmony, whilst others would see conflict and suffering. Such is the arrogance of human nature that the selfish aspirations of the leaders of the populations and their desire for dominance, would eventually lead to wars and perhaps of Humanities ultimate self-destruction. Gelandor is one of these Blue Planets. It is on its Earth-like surface that the tale unfolds. It is a story of a daughter's determination to find her lost father and of the company of Eldorian knights that accompany her on the dangerous quest. The action is set against a background of the violent conflict of opposing war lords in the planet's northern hemisphere. Throughout their search for the High King, father of the Princess Erycina, her companions encounter monstrous creatures, betrayal, spies, intrigue, mystery and war.

Los Diarios del Ácido
Una exploración sobre las verdades personales y espirituales reveladas mediante el LSD • Indica que las visiones inducidas por el LSD tejen una trama continua de un viaje a otro • Muestra que los viajes o trances psicodélicos pasan por tres etapas: los temas personales y la conciencia prenatal, la pérdida del ego y, por último, lo sagrado • Explora el consumo de sustancias psicodélicas a lo largo de la historia, incluidas las alucinaciones masivas comunes en la Edad Media y los primeros usos terapéuticos del LSD Christopher Gray, cuando tenía casi sesenta años, por primera vez en mucho tiempo probó a tomar una dosis de 100 microgramos de LSD. Los efectos fueron tan extraordinarios y sorprendentemente agradables, que comenzó a consumir la misma dosis de igual manera cada dos o tres semanas. En Los diarios del ácido, Christopher Gray describe en detalle su experimento con el LSD durante un período de tres años y comparte la sorprendente conclusión de que sus visiones iban entretejiendo una historia coherente de una experiencia a otra, y le revelaban una trama subyacente de verdades personales y espirituales. Basándose en las teorías de Stanislav Grof y con citas de otras experiencias parecidas a la suya (como las de Aldous Huxley, Albert Hofmann y Gordon Wasson), muestra que los viajes pasan por tres etapas: la primera tiene que ver con asuntos personales y la conciencia prenatal; la segunda con la pérdida del ego, a menudo con matices sobrenaturales; y la tercera con temas sagrados, espirituales y apocalípticos. Al cotejar sus experiencias con el estudio de la utilización de sustancias psicodélicas a lo largo de la historia, incluidas las alucinaciones masivas producidas por el cornezuelo, comunes en la Edad Media, y las primeras veces que el LSD se utilizó con fines terapéuticos, Gray ofrece a los lectores una mayor comprensión y apreciación del valor potencial del LSD, no solo con fines de crecimiento transpersonal, sino de desarrollo espiritual.

There Be Goblins in the Wood!
Combe Dingle Wood can be found (if you look really hard) in the heart of the Somerset countryside. It exists in that twilight time between myth and reality. It belongs to the era when walkabout scarecrows and Aunt Sallies wandered the hills and vales of the English West country. The local folk can tell you stories of their experiences when entering the wood. Most people that wander in wander out again with a smile on their faces and a sense of well-being. No one has ever quite put their finger on why this should be- they can only say there is something magical about the place. The Chronicles of Combe Dingle Wood are a series of stories about the unique folk that inhabit the wood. They have exciting adventures in 'Between time' (created for them by a friendly witch). They encounter dangers, but they do so with a sense of humour and fortitude that is typical of the West Country folk.It was a few years after the Second Year War when I first encountered the real inhabitants of Combe Dingle Wood. Were they people trees or tree people? You know to this day I am still not sure. Perhaps you could decide? The story books I have produced are based on the records and drawings I kept in my diary all those years ago.
