Self-Knowledge In a World Of Fictitious Perceptions: BEYOND TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS

 Picture of Lighthouse on Mountain



"The devil's biggest trick is to convince the world he doesn't exist."

There are people in your life talking **
at** you — not to you. Dismantling your ground before you've said a word. Stacking devaluations of your aims, your intentions, your identity — sometimes all three at once. And the most sophisticated part? You're not supposed to notice.

This is not about feeling trapped. This is about 
intended devaluation — and what to do about it.

When you're out of the reach of people with devaluative tendencies — 
magic things happen.

Inside:

➤ NLP: everything you need to know — Built for people dealing with the real aftermath of narcissistic contact. The tools that achieve in minutes what can take years — at a level beyond Practitioner, where the real work begins.

➤ The Game Is On — The narcissist measures success differently. Projective identification, hidden competition, the false selfin motion. Once you understand the internal landscape, the moves become readable — and you stop being a piece on someone else's board.

➤ Classic psychiatry — for the boost of everyday — Kernberg's Object Relations Theory, Transference-Focused Psychotherapy, the DSM-V alternative model decoded for practical use. The internal structure of narcissistic disorder, not just its surface symptoms.

➤ Number one rule of Wall Street — Associate with Performant people. Avoid narcissists. The Wolf of Wall Street understood future faking better than most therapists. A lens you won't forget.

➤ Industrial models in life — OODA loops. Antifragility. C.M.M.I. maturity levels. Because the same frameworks that run high-performance organizations can run a high-performance personal reality. The process is not a product — and that one distinction changes the architecture of everything.

➤ Dissecting underlying social dynamics — The social fabric determines what gets through and what doesn't. Some environments are designed to suppress signal. Knowing which one you're in changes everything.

➤ An impeccable stalker with Maths — Fat tails, stochastic volatility, Fisherian runaway selection as a mirror of narcissistic behavior. How to distinguish a real scenario from a manufactured illusion. Your vision is fundamental.

➤ The 4 Levels of personal development: (beyond) an introduction to Satsang — Perceived Value Is Floating. Rhythms & States. Detached Sense of Identity. Construction as the Logical Solution. A framework built before the noise, for whoever is ready to move past the surface.


"**THE INDIVIDUAL WITH MORE ALTERNATIVES HAS THE CAPACITY TO CONTROL.** That single idea changes everything — and it's the last thing a narcissist wants you to understand. This book is not another guide on toxic relationships. It is a precise toolkit built from classical psychiatry, advanced NLP, industrial management models, and the mathematics of illusion — assembled for one purpose: to give you back your clarity, your agency, and your direction. You'll learn to read the patterns others miss. You'll understand what's actually happening beneath the surface of the relationships that drain you. And you'll find that the way out is not emotional — it's structural. _What the narcissist doesn't want you to see is that the game has rules. And once you know the rules, you stop losing._"

Mind of a Soldier: 34 Laws for the War After the War

  Book Title on Black Book cover with silhouette of man in back ground


Mind of a Soldier:

34 Laws for the War After the War


The system built you for war. Nobody built you for this.

You did everything right. You served. You sacrificed. You came home. And now you are sitting in a VA waiting room with a number, filling out the same form for the fourth time, being told that the approved treatment is available in seventeen days — while the thing you came in for does not pause for the appointment.

Mind of a Soldier is not a self-help book. It is not a memoir. It is a field manual — written by a retired Special Operations EOD Sergeant Major who was the first Black Tier One EOD operator in U.S. history a — for the war that nobody briefs you on before you take off the uniform.

The 34 laws in this book document what the system does not tell you:

  • Why the PTSD diagnosis was built for a single traumatic event — and what it misses about a career warfighter
  • Why the treatment fails 91% of the people it was designed to serve
  • Why the civilian world's version of you is either a hero or a monster, and why neither one is you
  • Why your nervous system, your sleep, your body, and your identity are not broken — they are miscalibrated for an environment that no longer exists
  • Why "Thank you for your service" ends the conversation it pretends to start
  • Why the most dangerous thing you will ever do is not the mission — it is the silence after it

This book does not ask you to be vulnerable the way a therapist does. It tells you the truth. It names the system failures with data, the identity fractures with precision, and the path forward with the same directness that kept people alive downrange.

It was written for the veteran who is performing wellness in the waiting room. For the spouse who cannot explain why the person they love is unreachable. For the civilian who wants to understand but does not know where to start. And for the policy maker who needs to see the gap between what the country promises and what it actually delivers — measured in the people who fell through it.

The author is not writing from the other side of a clean recovery arc. He is in the valley. Still figuring it out. Every day. The same way you are.

The war does not end when the uniform comes off. It changes AO.

This is the field manual for the next one.

Cry for the Children

   3 small children with a crying eye in the back


Cry for the Children

By Donna Deal


When the people meant to protect a child become the source of fear, innocence is forced to grow up too soon.

Cry for the Children opens into a world where family is fragile, security is temporary, and love is often tangled with absence, desperation, and fear. At its center are three young siblings whose lives begin to shift after their mother, burdened by limited means and impossible choices, is forced to place them in the care of others. What follows is not a single home or a single season of hardship, but a passage through places that promise shelter while quietly concealing danger.

The book moves through rural Virginia with a vivid sense of place—farmhouses, cold rooms, kitchen baths, long days of labor, and the rough edges of country living. Yet the landscape is more than backdrop. It becomes part of the emotional weather of the story: isolating, unpredictable, and often haunted by the feeling that childhood can be altered in an instant. In this world, even ordinary things carry tension. A meal, a bedtime, a visit from a parent, a church service, a ride down a driveway—each can turn without warning into something unsettling.

What makes the premise especially compelling is the contrast between appearances and reality. The adults in this story occupy familiar roles—caretakers, churchgoers, relatives, authority figures—yet the children must learn early that safety does not always live where it claims to. The result is a narrative shaped by silence, obedience, and the private logic of survival. For readers drawn to memoir-like emotional intensity, family trauma narratives, and stories that blur the line between personal history and psychological reckoning, Cry for the Children offers a world that is both intimate and deeply unsettling.

But this is not only a story about what happens in childhood. It is also about what remains. The shadows of those early years stretch forward, following these children into adulthood, into memory, into the lives they try to build long after the doors of those homes have closed behind them. The book invites readers into a journey where pain, resilience, and buried truth exist side by side, asking not only what was endured, but what it takes to live beyond it.

For readers who seek stories outside the expected—stories raw with memory, heavy with atmosphere, and fearless in confronting the hidden fractures inside family life—Cry for the Children opens a door into a world that is difficult to enter and even harder to forget.

Some childhoods end in years, but their echoes can last a lifetime.

Make Peace With Life

    Person on a colorful mountain top


Make Peace With Life


What if the meaning of life isn’t something you find…
but something you learn to make peace with?

In Making Peace With Life, Dr. Rob Alex takes you on a deeply human, refreshingly honest, and surprisingly humorous journey through the chaos, beauty, heartbreak, energy, and wonder of being alive.

This isn’t a book about chasing perfection.
It’s about embracing the full spectrum — the ups, the downs, the middle ground, the transitions, the questions, the endings, and the beginnings.

Inside these pages you’ll explore:

  • Why there is no real “finish line” in life — and why that’s good news
  • How life’s hardest moments often become your greatest teachers
  • The metaphysical energy that connects you to every other life on the planet
  • Why your life is both a tiny drop… and an entire universe
  • How music, memories, impact, and love glue everything together
  • Why asking better questions may matter more than finding answers
  • How to stop defining yourself by age, status, or comparison
  • And why your life has unlimited value — even when you forget it does

Blending psychology, personal development, metaphysical insight, and everyday humor, Dr. Rob Alex writes like the friend who hands you cosmic wisdom and a high-five at the same time.

This book will not give you all the answers.
It will give you something far more powerful:

Permission to breathe.
Permission to question.
Permission to adjust.
Permission to live fully.

And most importantly —
Permission to make peace with life exactly as it is… while still growing into what it can become.

If you’re ready to stop racing and start living —
This book is for you.

She No Name

      Butterfly with Electric Wings



By Cheryl Knoll


What if the deepest rupture in a life is not meant to destroy identity, but to strip it bare?

She No Name inhabits the charged space between heartbreak and awakening. It begins with a woman undone by an emotional bond she cannot explain, then follows her into a private landscape of obsession, insomnia, spiritual unrest, and memory. The book does not move like a conventional narrative. It drifts through prose reflections, meditations, and poems, letting the reader experience the collapse of an old self in fragments, flashes, and emotional aftershocks.

Its world is intensely interior, but never abstract. Gardens, trees, smoke, fire, wings, stillness, and light recur like landmarks in an inner geography. A woman stands in the ashes of her former life. Solitude becomes not exile, but shelter. Forgiveness is reframed as recalibration. Even the title suggests a threshold state: a self no longer willing to be fully defined by the given name, the old wounds, or the version of womanhood handed to her by others.

The emotional stakes are not simply romantic. Beneath the book’s spiritual language runs a deeper current of buried trauma, unmet longing, and the exhausting habit of locating worth outside the self. As the pages unfold, the central tension becomes clear: what happens when the identities formed through pain, rejection, desire, and approval begin to fall away? What remains when the search turns inward instead of outward?

That is where She No Name finds its pulse. This is a book of unraveling, but also of return. It enters the dark terrain of spiritual disillusionment and emerges with a vision of inner divinity, not as abstraction, but as lived survival. The result is a work that treats awakening not as serenity from the start, but as a painful, transformative passage through fire, memory, and self-reckoning.

To awaken is not to find someone else—it is to finally stand whole within your own soul.

God Made Me from Spare Parts: Modern Parables for Old Souls

    Escalator to Heaven


God Made Me from Spare Parts:

Modern Parables for Old Souls


God Made Me from Spare Parts is a collection of whimsical, modern parables that unfold between dream and reality—where spiritual fiction meets emotional truth, and answers rarely arrive as expected. 

A troubled narrator calls out to God for guidance and meets a disarmingly human deity who reframes mortality, self-worth, and distress with warmth and unexpected humor.

A God who laughs.

A God who crashed his plane when he was young.

A God who doesn’t fix everything, but sits beside you.

Written while grieving his father's death and stranded far from home, each of Tji’s parables offers a short meditation on fear, love, loss, faith, and the struggles of everyday life. With touching stories and striking illustrations, the book invites readers to pause, reflect, and see their own lives with refreshed compassion and clarity.

Ideal for spiritual seekers, contemplative readers, and anyone looking for encouraging inspiration, God Made Me from Spare Parts is a true companion for healing and renewal.

Cipher: A Proven Framework to Hire the Best People

    Small Statues of people around a yellow target with an arrow in the bullseye




Nearly half of new hires fail within 18 months. That’s not a “people problem”—it’s a process problem. Most hiring still runs on gut feel, vague job descriptions, and unstructured interviews—an approach with odds worse than a coin toss. The cost shows up fast: wasted time, lost money, and a team that can’t deliver. For 15 years, Craig della Penna has helped leaders hire with clarity and rigor using his proprietary HireBest® system resulting in better hiring decisions, reduced attrition, and less time wasted in extraneous interviews. The key component of that system is the Cipher®, a simple, powerful framework that defines what success must look like before you meet a single candidate. It distills any role into four essentials: Charge, Outcome, Deliverables, and Efforts so everyone evaluates talent against the same standard. In this practical, step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to build and use Ciphers to help: • Replace hiring based on gut feel with a structured, repeatable hiring system • Reduce bias by anchoring interviews to what truly predicts performance • Compare candidates consistently based on data-rich perspectives • Hire better, onboard faster, and coach performance using one framework If you hire or your business depends on hiring, stop gambling with your most important asset. Learn the clear, teachable framework that improves decision quality and hiring outcomes. It’s time to HireBest.

The Deal Zombie Chronicles

  Lots of zombies with castle in background


The Last Sanctuary of the Living:

Book One: The Deal Zombie Chronicles


When the world drowned in blood and silence, the coast became a fortress.

Sydney Carter never asked to lead. But in the shattered remnants of Deal and Walmer, leadership is the difference between hope and extinction. As the undead choke the countryside and new human predators rise from the ruins, Sydney must rally survivors who’ve already lost everything — and face the ruthless tyrant holding Dover Castle.

From the salt-bitten cliffs to tunnels soaked in ash and gunfire, The Last Sanctuary of the Living follows the fight to reclaim a fragment of humanity in a world gone feral. Bonds will break, kingdoms will burn, and the living will prove every bit as dangerous as the dead.

Gritty, visceral, and deeply human, this is the first chapter of The Deal Zombie Chronicles — where survival isn’t victory, it’s the beginning of the reckoning.

Sanctuary at Sea: Book two: The Deal Zombie Chronicles


The ferry was meant to be salvation.
Instead, it became a target.

Fleeing the fallen shores of England, Sydney and the survivors of Deal believed the sea would keep them safe. But sanctuary is never empty for long. When a ruthless warship begins hunting the Channel, the living are forced to confront an enemy far more dangerous than the dead.

As alliances fracture and loyalties are tested, Sydney must lead his people toward a last refuge—an island scarred by war and haunted by silence. Beneath its stone and tunnels, a desperate stand is prepared. Traps are laid. Lines are drawn. And sacrifices are made that can never be undone.

But some threats cannot be outrun.
Some men do not stop hunting.

When the dead mass at the gates and the living turn on one another, survival will demand more than courage. It will demand blood.

The sea offers no mercy. The war for the living has begun.

Dark Necessities:

A Psychospiritual Guide To Life And

The Living (Its A Kind Of Magik Book 1)


Our continuing disconnect between our bodies and our souls has not gone unnoticed. Some of us have been quietly observing, taking notes and finding patterns.

You… the social chameleons, the ‘deep’ ones. You who feel energised in the deep and esoteric. You who feel your way through this life. You are not alone…

An honest and deep dive into an intuitive's perspective of the state of humanity on Earth in 2025; How journeying into the Shadow side of our selves has been replaced by fear and spiritual bypassing.

We have been weakened by external fear with a desire to ‘fit in’. Now more than ever, we need to regain our power as individuals to truly understand how connected we all are.

Army Of Me (Its A Kind Of Magik Book 2)


A blend of Irish and Norse wisdom from a Druidic Sorcerer carefully cultivated into poetic words.

If you wish to awaken your soul this will sooth you. If you wish to quieten your mind then it will trigger your ego and send you further on your journey to re-awaken and this time stay awake.

The time for death, forced memory loss and unwanted reincarnation is rising. Some evil cycles were made to be broken. Their reign is coming to an end and you can feel it.

Shine your light, now is not the time to turn the other cheek.





A trilogy, Dark Necessities, Army of Me and soon to be released: Everything's Not Lost. All of which are famous songs by chilli peppers, Bjork and Coldplay. They are psycho-spiritual philosophical guides. They are funny, sad, inspiring, uplifting, light and deep. All the feels and all of my true being inside of them. These three books are honest and real.
