Have you ever questioned your life's direction, wondered about your purpose for being here or why you have had to go through and endure what seemed to be emotional hardships? Have you ever found yourself repeating the same patterns and behaviours, stuck in a cycle, attracting the same drama in your life? If your answer is yes to any of these defining questions, The Empyrean Quest has come to your awareness for a reason. Threaded throughout these pages are universal laws that exist all around us and affect every aspect of our lives. The irony is that these truths are known by very few. This adventure story will take you on a mystical journey of self-discovery and reveal the forces that influence each of us, hidden in plain sight.

Europe was in chaos at the end of the second World War. As the allied troops moved in, those alive who had backed Hitler or engineered a profitable war for their own ends, fled. Rolf von Breusch, murderer, Nazi and now recovering alcoholic, leaves Switzerland, and under cover of an easily obtained new identity - Ian David Ross - finds sanctuary at the Eidelweiss Pensione where he is employed in lieu of rent. It is indicative of Rolf's nature that he does not regard his employment as a saving grace, but as slavery.It is there, while out on a summer's day, that he sees a female figure struggling to stand on the riverbank. This fateful meeting leads to Ian falling in love and their return to England, where they are sponsored as migrants to Australia. Ian and Welsh ballet dancer, Gigi, settle on a farm at Yass, in the southern New South Wales highlands. The lives of this family should have progressed in peace and profitability, but betrayal and murder lead them into the darkness which could - and should - have been allowed to stay in Europe… but Ian Ross cannot control the hatred hidden deep within Rolf von Breusch.

A real-life story about a little boy who had his innocence stolen from him, who was abused, neglected and brutalized by his own family and local employer and with a life-changing disability was crucified by a corrupted and collusive Queensland Government system who punished him for pure honesty.

What is life all about? I am sure it's not the path I'd found myself on. Who ordained this life for me? What was my purpose on this earth? All my life, I had been boxed into what those around me perceived me to be. I allowed them to shape me, and I struggled with this. We are all programmed to believe we are what we were conditioned into. As an adult, I took on the role of a wife and mother, not discovering who I am, because I was a member of a family, a wife, a mother: slowly losing myself to a preconceived belief of me. But deep within me, my spirit stirred and said no, this is not you. Seek out the knowledge, and remember who you are.

Feeling deserted, Jean answers an advert for a nanny in New York and travels to America.They both continue to make decisions that change the course of their lives as they follow paths influenced by education and career; travel and family.

The best they can hope for is to navigate their way safely through it.

The digital economy is both an existential threat and an extraordinary opportunity, although with a success rate as low as 5%, transforming a mature organisation into a digital business is fraught with danger. Transformation is not a quick fix, especially when the organisation is entangled in a mess of process proliferation and legacy systems. It is resource intensive and the skills required are in high demand, expensive, and rarely available in house.  To fund this, operating budgets are cut, and day-to-day delivery teams have to do far more with far less. They must continue to deliver services with fewer resources, using the scraps left over from the investment allocation process. They must drive innovation and improvement because customers won’t wait. To make it even harder, they must support the transformation team by providing subject matter expertise and absorb change at a pace and quality level they haven’t had to confront before. And if that’s not enough, they assume they are the ones who will be replaced by robots when the transformation completes. Keeping the team focused and filled with optimism for the future is extraordinarily challenging.The solution is to get Match Fit and figure out how to operate in this type of environment. And to do that the team must free-up capacity and learn how to do their jobs better, work effectively with the transformation team and find time to acquire the new skills that will equip them to participate in the workforce of the future.

Humanity believes we 'walked out of Africa' as ape-like beings over two-hundred-thousand years ago and evolved into modern humans, but even Charles Darwin himself knew his theory of evolution could not explain how we came to be here. Evolution is, in actual fact, a much-slower process, and there are just too many gaps in the evolutionary chain from the early ape-like beings to us as we are now. And, did the allele for blue eyes just suddenly appear out of nowhere, an evolutionary mutation, even though it is so prevalent despite being recessive? Altira is a collection of stories that challenges this orthodox view of our true history. Two of the stories are my own memories of lives I lived on another planet, humanity's original planet. The third holds my knowledge of what I know is to come in the human experience, and the fourth recounts two conversations I had in visions, which makes them no less real. Scientists can search for evidence of orthodox theories of human beginnings on this planet all they like, but they will never disprove or contradict memory. Many of us know the earth is not our original planet. We just have to remember the truth. We can because we hold it within us. There is, in fact, so much more going on than we've been led to believe.

This book explores the parallels between the aircraft flight deck and the surgical operating theatre, examining, through past aviation accidents and incidents, whether medicine and surgery could benefit from the lessons learnt in aviation.It looks at modern day pilot training, particularly in the area of 'Human Factors' or the science of 'why we do what we do' i.e. how do humans perform under stress in terms of decision making, teamwork, leadership, situational awareness and communication?The author is uniquely placed in these fields currently in his role as an International Airline Pilot, with some 30 years of Aviation experience, the last 18 years as a Training Captain, but also, prior to his career in Aviation, when he completed his General Nursing training at the Royal North Hospital in Sydney. He has worked extensively in the operating theatre enabling him to see potential benefits for surgical practice from Human Factors training.The book firstly highlights the similarities shared by flight deck and the operating theatre in terms of chain of command, use of technology and the pressures faced by both professional spheres.It then looks at various aspects of human behaviour, using aircraft accidents and incidents to highlight those behaviours, while exploring the potential relevance to surgical and medical practice.

In this ground-breaking and thought-provoking work, Adrian Emery, author of The Art of Nourishment, reinterprets the historical journey of humanity arguing that we stand at the cusp of a totally new cycle in our evolutionary path that will be ushered in by a profound leap in human consciousness. This leap will require a deep revolution in our collective psyche to overcome an all-encompassing and pervasive misunderstanding of who we are, why we exist, where we have come from and where we are going. This misunderstanding separates us from the divine flow of life causing blockage and limitation of our energy and personal power.Humanity stands at the crossroads and must choose a new path. If we do not change, fundamentally at our core, we are an extinct species. We are at war with ourselves, with each other and with the planet on which we live - our only home.In Personal Sovereignty, Emery challenges us to begin to take personal responsibility for our lives taking back our power from the collective forces of mass and social media. In order to survive we need to change, and this change requires a massive transformation in our conscious awareness of who we are and the impact of our behaviour on our own survival and that of the planet. This transformation begins with the taking of personal responsibility.Discover the 7 Principles for overcoming the destructive influence of the negative ego via this profound quantum shift in consciousness that leads to: overcoming self-doubt & anxiety unconditional self-love & acceptance dealing with the pernicious feeling of not being good enough discovering your own ikigai or purpose for being moving from destructive co-dependency to joyous co-creativity the correct exercise of personal power & functioning with dominion experiencing the wonder and inner peace of sovereign love. Personal Sovereignty is the journey to this self-awareness, to this responsibility and to this freedom. For without responsibility there can be no freedom. Personal Sovereignty is a roadmap to find our way back to a harmony, a peace and a prosperity that is aligned with the Principles of Life and not in conflict with the natural order of the universe. What's the point of being at the top of the evolutionary tree if you are wildly chain-sawing it at the bottom?

We decided to write this book because we saw there were many needs that needed to be addressed such as the following:The need for individuals to find out who they really are.The need for society to have a true understanding of what love is.The need for knowledge of how to have a strong relationship.The need for men and women who may have come from a failed relationship to be able to have the courage to try againPerhaps though the main reason for us writing this book was to share our story that through our experience anyone who reads and chooses to apply the same knowledge that has helped us will be greatly benefitted too.This book was written to bring Sunshine to anyone who is looking for it in their heart.

This book examines the crucial questions associated with the Life's Purpose, including Who are we? What are we here for? What is likely to happen to us when we die? And how should we lead our lives?It examines these questions by putting forth a plausible Hypothesis relating to the importance of Spirituality in our life, which Hypothesis is based on Reason and Logic; and then examines the veracity of such a Hypothesis against evident historical facts. It then goes on to compare this against Revelation drawn from various Sacred Scriptures; and finally "sense checks" all this against the evident philosophy of Jesus Christ as demonstrated in the Gospel of Thomas and other Biblical sources.It provides solace and purpose to the downtrodden and to people who may be sceptical about the Goodness of Life. Its key theme of the importance of Spirituality in our lives should be concerning to people who believe that happiness and physical wealth, without deference to Faith and Philosophy, are what we ought to be primary focussed on.

What can asset managers learn from Deep Blue's triumph at chess, or from Watson's victory at Jeopardy, or AlphaGo's win at Go, or from machine learning's success at language translation, or from the analysis of Google search terms to predict the spread of the flu? What do these examples from the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence teach us that is relevant for an analyst forecasting corporate earnings, or for an asset manager's strategy team deciding which new product to launch, or for their HR manager thinking about what skills to recruit for, or for a client engagement team seeking to influence prospective clients?In a world of powerful algorithms and intelligent robots, of passive and factor-based strategies, what is the future role for humans in the investment management industry?This book leverages unique insights into the strengths and weaknesses of professional investment decision-making that have been gained from the author's role as a specialist behavioural finance consultant and trainer. By combining concepts from behavioural finance and artificial intelligence this book identifies ways investment professionals can create "cyborgs": decision-making processes that integrate individual, team and machine thinking. When designed appropriately, cyborgs can perform better than humans or machines alone. With cyborg decision-making, improved risk-adjusted returns, greater client engagement, and more sustainable value propositions are possible.
