No wonder Elias Canetti described it as "one of the few great and perfect works of the poetic imagination written". The Metamorphosis remains one of the best works of fiction in history. It is the story of a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, who wakes up to find himself being transformed to an insect-like creature. The story unfolds into one of the greatest short fiction stories ever written.

The quest to live forever continues. But why do we want to live forever? And is immortality even possible? It seems easy to imagine it (at least at first!), but after considering the idea a little more carefully, problems become obvious. Boredom, loneliness, and the effects (or ravages) of time on the body and the mind might all take their toll as the ages pass. These subjective problems, together with the more objective question of how a body might live forever, are all considered in this audiobook.

Wie sehen Farben für andere Menschen aus? Wo endet das Universum und was kommt danach? Existiert die Welt wirklich, oder leben wir in einem Traum?

Once, humans were what they believed. Now, the modern person is determined by data exhaust—an invisible anthropocentric ether of ones and zeros that is a product of our digitally monitored age. Author Mark Jarzombek argues that the world has become redesigned to fuse the algorithmic with the ontological, and the discussion of ontology must be updated to rethink the question of Being. In Digital Stockholm Syndrome in the Post-Ontological Age, Jarzombek provocatively studies the new interrelationship between human and algorithm.

"Schreiben heißt die Einsamkeit verteidigen, in der man sich befindet", schreibt María Zambrano. Wenn aber schon das Schreiben generell die Einsamkeit verteidigt, was geschieht in einem Tagebuch, das der vorgegebenen Form zwar folgt, sich aber gleichzeitig gegen sie zur Wehr setzt? Frank Witzel vertraute sich zwei Monate jeden Tag einem Tagebuch an, ohne dabei der Form des Tagebuchs zu vertrauen. Seine Aufzeichnungen sind gekennzeichnet von einer Skepsis gegenüber dem eigenen Erleben und Denken - und nicht zuletzt auch gegenüber dem Vorgang des Schreibens selbst.

"Time is that in which we live - it is horizontal. It is from A to B to C to D; it is in a line. Eternity is vertical. It is not from A to B and from B to C. It is from A to more A to still more A. It goes on upwards. The moment is rare because it happens only when meditation has reached ripening, maturity, when you have touched your innermost core." The vertical line opens a door to eternity.

Have you ever asked yourself why human beings are compelled to agree? Is it in our organic human nature to gather in like-minded groups and segregate ourselves from others with dissimilar opinions? Why do we feel the need to call ourselves good or right, believing only we have a firm grasp of the truth, while we label those not like us as bad or wrong?

Dans "L'imagination crée la réalité", Neville Goddard explique que l'imagination vient en premier. La réalité n'est qu'une projection de notre propre imagination, ainsi ce qui se manifeste dans notre monde extérieur est décidé par ce qui, antérieurement, s'est manifesté dans notre monde intérieur.
