E-book Amazing Grace
« on: March 19, 2006, 07:02:45 AM »
Hi,

Thanks in advance

This is a good question, but i have been wondering as of late whether this is an sts move? Kinda like the c's were saying that due to the fact that you are not paying for it in some way, that you may not have the proper frequency to recieve the information. Or something to that effect? Perhaps you were asking for a site with e-books for sale, in which case i think this would be a good add-on to the cass site. I am sure it has been mentioned elsewhere on the site, but perhaps all the books could be sold in that format on the site?

Hi Davey, did you realize that you're responding to a five and a half year old thread?

We are publishing kindle versions of several of the books at this point.  Our early experiment with e-books resulted in a lot of piracy, so it was terminated.

OOps. How embarrasing for me. :P
I guess this is what i was wondering about , though. Would it be like a frequency mismatch resulting in the "pirate" not getting anything out of it?
Er, sumthin like that.

I think that it will create blockages in their life if they take and do not give back.  See this quote:

Quote from: https://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,21638.msg227020.html#msg227020
It should be noted that the STS system can only be penetrated by becoming "wise as serpents and gentle as doves."  There is nothing negative about networking.  Details of a network include the necessity for those who are involved to invest "energy" in the exchange.  If the individual comes upon the life work of another and expects to benefit and gain by that work, they will naturally wish to have their own position balanced by putting forth a commensurate amount of energy.  Otherwise there will be an imbalance of energy.  This then leads to an STS pyramid.  An example of this principle in reverse is a teacher who demands payment for no real work on their own part.

The fact that both of you have devoted yourselves to this work for not just a short time, but literally your entire lives, and have not asked for the support that this intensive labor earns has, in effect, created an imbalance for those who are benefiting.  Many of those who are experiencing blocks in their own lives would find those blockages dissolved by the action of opening the flow of energy in the exchange.  In your world, money equals energy!!!

I think the issue is that Laura and the other authors just want compensation for all their hard work.  With the ebooks so easily obtained it made it too easy for people to obtain their books without giving anything in return.  If you really are hurting for money and cannot afford these books you might be able to get some help from Laura or the other authors if you let them know your situation.

Thanks for the reply. I was just curious, and didn't really realize how old this post was. I am not looking for anything for free myself. I was just curious at the concept. I do believe that i have recieved more than i could sincerely ask for from Laura, and the team. I have actually been trying to come up with the best way to send even 10, or 20 $. When i have it, aworry a little about getting a money order. I did ask about who to make it out to, but I never recieved a reply to that one. I was thinking that i may as well try to send a ten dollar bill, and see what happens. This may give me the answers i seek, unless of course it does'nt arrive.

Hey Davey72,

Both here on the forum and on SotT there is this LARGE donate button in the header of each page. When you click on it, it will show you all the possible ways to make a donation. That includes the proper addresses and all.
Remember, if you choose the bill wrapped into a greeting card option you wouldn't get a thank you note unless you specifically ask for that and include a self addressed send back envelope - with proper stamps on it too. Or so I think (I donate anonymously so cannot be thanked for it and have no experience with that).

I have been wondering how to purchase that book and I even sent a message through the book store once but didn't recieve a reply. I have purchased nearly ever book published by Red Pill but Amazing Grace must have been published by someone else. Actually I have purchased several copies of A Secret History and given them to friends and relatives. For me this is a seperate issue from donating (which I have done several times) because when I donate it is for information allready recieved via the website ie: the Wave Series and the Adventure Series which I read completely on-line.

Hi Loud John,

     Amazing Grace is out of print and no longer available. Laura is working on a revised edition and when it becomes available you will be able to find out about it here on the forum.

Beautiful. Thank you for that info. I wasn't aware of that. I would like to also donate anon, so as to limit any extra time wasted,etc.--But i would also like to make sure that it was received.

As some of you might have already noticed, Amazing Grace is being published at cassiopaea.org right now. That's fantastic. I don't know if there is another thread announcing this.

My question is: Are there significant changes in comparison to the old book version, except the many photographs? Or is it more or less the same content but a bit updated?

Not much in the way of changes except that I'm able to format better than the printed book was and I'm including a ton of images which it was too expensive to include in the book.   I'm making a few VERY SMALL editorial changes in view of the fact that my mother was living when I wrote it and she is passed on now.  Where I would say "my mother is..." I'm changing that sort of thing to "my mother was..."  I may also add some info that was unknown to me then, but we'll have to wait and see as I go through the text.  I'm trying to do a chapter every day or every two days, but it is labor intensive for including the images.

I only read it recently and I have to say it was one of the most interesting and heartwarming  autobiographies I ever read.
I have a question  and I apologize if this was answered elsewhere:
- Where you ever able to make sense of that kidnapping and short stay in those people's house? Did you ever ask C's about it?
