A manned mission to Mars has been the dream of humanity at least since the 19th century, when we first saw details of the surface and thought there might be canals filled with water there. Here I’ve looked at the history of unmanned exploration of Mars over the last 50-plus years, proposed missions to Mars, Mars settlements, and other major issues regarding traveling to and living on Mars. Some proposals have lots of details of proposed scenarios, if you want to know all of the engineering and scientific analysis work.

The real nature of time is still a mystery, even after thousands of years of philosophers and scientists analyzing it and proposing theories about it. Prophecy has existed for most of humanity’s time on Earth, and there is a lot of reason to think that seeing the future does reveal some of what happens and is about to happen. I also wrote two books on this subject, including the history of prophecy and my own experiences.

There is a lot of interest these days in space exploration. After 50 years, we are looking at going back to the Moon to build a base and planning early for a manned trip to Mars. After that, further exploration and settlement of the Solar System will be on the table. One of the main limiting factors for all of this space exploration are the types of rockets and rocket engines available to get there.

Humans have dreamed of travelling to the stars for as long as we knew that those points of light in the sky were stars like the Sun. Now, in the 21st century, there are actual studies and plans to send interstellar space probes to the nearest stars. Probably to Alpha Centauri which is only 4.3 light years away. Only! What is the history of plans to get to the nearest star? And what are the plans today to make these ideas a reality?

This book is about the phenomena of bilocation. The stories about individuals bilocating are the most fascinating, but I’m also including stories of objects that appear and disappear that might have similar underlying causes. These two phenomena seem inextricably linked since they both involve teleportation through space and possibly quantum entanglement (which is covered in a later chapter).

I love creativity. Creativity has become a big part of my life. I can’t imagine life without fundamental creativity. Being creative is a way to express yourself to the world. Many consider that only the arts offer an avenue of creativity, but they would be wrong. And many people think you are born being creative or not. That you can’t change your level of creativity. This is not true. You can definitely improve your creativity and use it in your professional or personal life.

I’ve written a number of books on longevity and immortality. But I’ve only had some partial chapters on long-lived plants and animals. This is an important subject because all of this life is based on the same DNA code we have in our own bodies. If this life can live for hundreds or thousands of years, then this says that it is possible for humanity to live that long, also. Here I’ve researched and included lots of specimens of animal and plant life which represent the extremes of longevity for widely varying life.

I’ve had a number of enlightenment and paranormal experiences in my life, so naturally I’m curious about fully enlightened or ascended masters. These masters probably exist and would have some incredible abilities, since paranormal powers are attributed to the spiritual development process.

Many of my friends who know me well and know some of my experiences insist I should write an autobiography because many people will find my stories fascinating. My life has been about my spiritual and paranormal explorations of the world and studies of our universe. These stories include a spirit attacking me, many prophecies of mine - some of which saved my life - a fight with a bear in the wilderness, and many other strange experiences, including a spiritual-enlightenment event and specific memories from before, during, and just after my birth.

Thunderbirds are giant birds which have been known by the North American Indians from time immemorial. These birds are part of the culture, totem poles, and Indian history and mythology. The giant birds have also been seen in modern times. Some observers say they are just giant, regular birds, while others say they have the appearance of pterodactyls. In this book, we review American Indian beliefs and legends about these giant birds. We also review the many reports not only in North America, but all over the world of giant birds and/or flying reptiles.

This book covers the best evidence I can find on the reality of ghosts and spirits. In 1975, while in college, I had an adventure where I was attacked by some type of entity.It is not the focus of this book, but I do believe that entities can invade and take over people’s minds. These may be what the ancients called demons. In 1980, while on a trip to Israel, I also took a picture in front of the Holy Sepulcher Church which showed some type of entity or spirit very clearly. There is a lot of evidence that ghosts or disembodied spirits exist, so we cover many ghost pictures.

In this book, we examine the history of dragons, stories about them, and evidence for their possible existence.

I want you, the listener, to learn about some of the most fascinating stories I’ve read in science fiction and fantasy so you can enjoy them yourselves. I’ve also reviewed Hugo Award winner novels to see if I had overlooked any authors. The most important Hugo Award winners are also included here.

The book/ebook/audiobook market has continued to advance and change. There are also some new markets like audiobooks that have taken off like a rocket in the last few years. My own experience has also evolved as I continue to self-publish new books and gain more experience with additional sales channels. There are many books available to tell you how to make money and have fun writing your own book. However, many of these books become out of date quickly as the market evolves.

This audiobook is about ancient tunnels and underground cities. From the previous research I’ve done on related topics, I do strongly believe that these findings are related to ancient civilizations which we know existed from ruins on the Earth. Some of these findings are stories that have more evidence to prove they are real than others. This is why I’ve divided this book up into two parts.

Overall, this sequence of books shows that there is a theme throughout history that aliens have affected humanity, not only since Homo sapiens evolved but even well into pre-history to hundreds of millions of years ago, when animal life didn’t yet exist on Earth’s land. That giants lived on the Earth back then and had their own civilizations. Our civilization today is, in many ways, a result of our interactions of aliens for our entire history.

Many objects have been found from the deep past which should not exist. We are talking about millions to hundreds of millions years ago. The objects described in this book provide lots of evidence that they really originated in those ages. These things include metal containers and vases found in seams of coal, and spark plugs encased in rock which should not exist. There are also ancient footprints of giants which were created before land animals are believed to have existed.

One of the greatest adventures in the future of humanity will be to construct, work, and live in space based structures. In this book we look at the history of ideas for living in space, proposed space colony designs, and technology. The details of current life support technology on the International Space Station is reviewed, and what technologies will be required for development of large scale space colonies.

Giants have existed on the Earth for most of Earth’s history. We are talking about going back hundreds of millions of years. There were also many giants on Earth in historical times when human civilization existed. There are even credible stories of giants existing on Earth in the present era, such as one killed by US soldiers in the mountains of Afghanistan. North America has had many sightings, and there are stories of wars with giants from the American Indians, as well as stories of cannibalistic giants who were killed by Indians in a cave.

Intuition and prophecy are spiritual abilities which we all have and which allow us to see outside of the present. Like athletes, some of us have more natural abilities than others. However, we can train and exercise our abilities to improve our lives. Prophecy is a more advanced form of intuition and has been used throughout history. Intuition is more about being immediately aware of what or who is around us, while prophecy is focused specifically on the future. While intuition is more immediate, it can be very useful, too.
