The book explores the concept of seven realms in the spirit world, ranging from what is akin to hell (realms 1-3) to heaven (realms 5-7). It discusses topics such as karma, rebirth, free will, and the nature of good and evil. The author, inspired by messages from her sons who died in a car accident, uses automatic writing to convey the spiritual laws and guide readers on how to lead a spiritual life on Earth and progress towards higher realms after death.
Milestones
Sayyid Quṭb
Published in 1964, 'Milestones' (Ma'alim fi'l-tareeq) is one of the most influential works of Sayyid Qutb. Written during his imprisonment, the book is a call for the violent overthrow of governments perceived as non-Islamic to establish an Islamic state. It critiques modern society as being in a state of 'jahiliyyah' (pre-Islamic ignorance) and advocates for the implementation of Sharia law in all aspects of life. The book has been both praised as a groundbreaking work and criticized for its radical and anti-secular views[2][4][5].

Bertrand de Jouvenel
This week on the Mark Levin Show, Mark emphasized that books endure far beyond radio, podcasts, or TV. While he’s often discussed liberty, unalienable rights, and tyranny, he’s only touched on power indirectly. Now, he’s completed his latest book, On Power. This book is different than any other book Mark has written. On Power is an analysis of how power shapes history. Power is more than a word; it determines whether you are free or not. It’s a subject all of us deal with every day. It’s a matter that can be discussed psychologically, ideologically, and philosophically. Also, in On Power, there’s a stark contrast between America’s founding, rooted in a blend of faith and Enlightenment ideals, and the centralized control sought by political Islam, as highlighted by Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim reformist. Jasser argues that Islamism, unlike the Judeo-Christian principles shaping America’s Constitution, rejects individual liberty and enforces a monolithic faith, often tied to anti-Israel and anti-Semitic agendas, as seen in groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. On Power examines the concept of power, its manipulation by politicians, media, and ideologues, and its impact on individuals and society. It aims to provoke a deeper understanding and dialogue about power's application, hoping to serve as a source for liberty against tyranny. Also, Saudi Arabia played a significant role on the 9/11 slaughter of Americans. Their Crown Prince didn’t even apologize once yesterday for what they did to us, and the 9/11 families are probably reeling from this. And Qatar protected the leader of the 9/11 attack from the FBI, before he was able to launch his war on America that killed our people. The Supreme Court addressed a case involving President Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship. These national injunctions represent an unconstitutional overreach by federal district courts, lacking a historical or constitutional basis, and justices like Ketanji Brown Jackson are promoting a "deconstitutionalization" of government by justifying such injunctions as a means to force quick Supreme Court review.
