Written by Anton Stucki. Narrated by AI (Artificial Intelligence) One morning an elderly woman called me and asked, “I heard that you can improve your hearing, even at my age. Is that really true?

Written by Jacques Martel. Narrated by Marie T. Russell It was in 1990 that the idea came to me to write an encyclopedia dealing with the metaphysical causes of ailments and diseases, and it was in 1991 that I started working on it.

Written by Candice Covington. Narrated by Marie T. Russell The consciousness of a living being is set by the frequency of the matter that makes up the body.

Written and narrated by Rosemarie Anderson, Ph. D. In 1977 I was a thirty-year-old tenured professor, comfortably settled into my life—teaching psychology and supervising research at an elite private American university.

Written and narrated by Marie T. Russell. The inner child sits and waits. It waits patiently for the adult to notice it, to talk to it. It wonders how many more nights, months, or years it must wait.

It thinks back of its past experience with parents and teachers and remembers that many times, to get a...
