Connection Terminated by Tanay Pant

“There were twelve people, alive and breathing, 

on this submarine yesterday. Today, there are ten.”

When Elijah Smith, an acclaimed Navy recruit, was given the opportunity to board a real submarine with nine other recruits to test their mental, physical, and tactical prowess, he was ecstatic. Even better, his best friends, Rohan and Laila, had been selected as well! After months of dedication, it seemed like things were finally going his way. Hours later, however, as he and his friends go to investigate a disturbance, they begin to realize that they are trapped with a murderer . . . ten-thousand feet underwater.

As events continue to unfold rapidly, alliances and rivalries are made and torn as crewmates discover clues, attempt to fix sabotaged hardware, and figure out a way to communicate with the surface. Relationships between siblings, friends, and past mentors are put under tremendous strain. Questions and accusations are thrown around for the killer’s identity. Losing faith in those around him, Elijah struggles with his own personal questions of sanity and insomnia. What can he do if he can’t even trust himself?

Only one thing is clear. As the death toll increases, the survivors must find a way to work together. Otherwise, the beautiful vessel they were so excited to board may soon become their coffin.

Tanay Pant is a student who lives with his family and dog in Illinois. He has been writing for as long as he can remember, starting out with scrappy comic books made out of notebook paper before completing Connection Terminated, his second published novel. 

In his spare time, he enjoys writing for the school newspaper, playing sports with his friends, or listening to music a bit louder than he should.

The Invitation

Every day God leaves an invitation
for you on your pillow.
Its contents are for you alone.

Each day God invites you to share
your life with Him and the World

Each day God provides the Guidance
you need to move in the right direction.

And when the day is over—
and you have made your choices—
He prepares another invitation for you.

And He leaves it upon your pillow
For the next day.

Until He calls you 
Home.

Two Faces of the World: The Seeds of War by Dilobar Ortiqova

When King Arawn of Rhodareen was betrayed by his youngest son, who claimed his right for the throne, the main ally of the king, the lord of mystical creatures named centenarians, declared war on all human beings. The war started between two kingdoms engulfed almost the entire world and could destroy the very life itself.


The main characters of the book are five people with different backgrounds and status who lived during the period of great recession and unrests, when people suffered because of wars, famine, religious and political crisis, witch-hunting, and many other troubles. In different circumstances, their paths converge, making them either friends or enemies. All in all, while fighting for their own survival, these characters are unaware that their actions may have significant influence on the outcome of the war.


The main story of the novel occurs in the years of 1644-1645. The major events in it happen on the territory of the Ottomans’ Empire, in France, on Crete, and two fictional kingdoms, Rhodareen and Alassoud.

Transformation Approaches

It is difficult to express the proper, appropriate words for the wonderment which fills my heart. For how fortunate I have been to have known my real Father. And what a great joy it is to be chosen for the work in this Moment of Time when so many shall be called upon to serve their true selves rather than egos. 

So, I understand how fortunate I am to be able to be a writer. 

Oh, my dear Master was it so long ago we met, and I left as you stayed behind to help in our reestablishment of your Kingdom on Earth. Is it not the time for Love to permeate the environment as it sweeps hatred and abuse from our very doorstep? And will not soon the workers of Light join hands and declare their faith in You? Once Again. 

For have we not come to bring in this New Age. The Transformation. The Big Eve approaches. And do not those who need help need to be instructed in the Art of Living in accordance with Natural Law. Your Law. And must we not prepare others by showing them the Path? By demonstration. Action. And not idle talk. But actualization of the Divine Plan on the physical plane of Existence? For how else? My New Age. Shall we demonstrate to all those that want to listen what we mean? Or shall we simply teach them. Another vocabulary. In which they can tinker. 

No, the time approaches quickly Now when more will recognize the signs. As the Cross so represented on the first evening of the New Year. For this is the time for All to be revealed for those who care to look. And for those who ignore the signs of the time, a great upheaval will come into their minds which will more than compensate for an Earthly Disaster. For the Revelations will come true, and the New Age shall suddenly appear. And the profane will seek to find a place hide, but they shall not escape their destiny. For no stone shall be left unturned. 

So, harken to the call of God. For His time approaches as Man’s shortens. For we are quickly approaching the time when what we lost will be restored to those that seek to serve the Divine Plan. Be soever humble and Ask. For ye will welcomed with open arms. For ye of faith need not worry. For untiringly do those Ascended Masters work to restore the balance to Mother Earth which we have so rudely treated. But fear not. For retribution is only necessary if we continue. Individually. To inflict Her with our raucous behavior. So, take a Moment and become reacquainted with what you cannot escape. This spaceship we call Earth. For we must become reacquainted with our Mother first. 

So be gently my dear People. And examine the Reality which you represent and see if it is yours or someone else’s. For one must be true to thyself first and Reality should reflect the God that is within. 

For this is our goal in this Lifetime. To be one with the Creator. Father God. So please, see who is directing your life and see if you are serving a Master of flesh and bones. For we are created in His Image, and we only need serve Him in order to reach Enlightenment. Nirvana. Illumination.  

So, seek to find the “I” as we approach the dawning of a New Age in which Man will join God. Once Again. As co-creators.

Master or Slave? The Choice is Yours!

Across the world, there is mounting chaos. With recent ostentatious displays of disharmony, greed, and war, we see a world in turmoil. I wonder what lies ahead for mankind…and this planet we call Earth.

Will technology greet us with a new enlightenment…or will we actually find ourselves further enslaved to our own technology? Will the computer’s drive for us to be more efficient and productive be the vehicle to our freedom…or our enslavement? Enslaved to a mechanism which takes no breaks…a mechanism which does not take the time to share the humanness we all share with one another.

Will we master this new technology…or will it master us? The answer waits in the future. But our actions today will determine the future we bring.

Slavery or Salvation. Masters or Slaves. Freedom or Constriction

Each day we choose our Path. We make decisions which affect our own lives…and the lives of others…with the choices we make.

What will be your choice today? Will you empower yourself…and those with whom you work? Or will you continue to exploit a hierarchical scheme in which empowerment has a much different meaning?

We are the Masters of our Future. Will you be your own master…or have you given your power to another? So they may rule your future. Be aware of the gifts the future brings…and be wary of those bearing gifts. For you may be a pawn in a larger Scheme. You…through your actions…must decide whose Scheme you will participate in.

For there are many houses in My Mansion. It is up to you to decide which room you will occupy. Will it be the servants’ quarters…or will it be as the Master of the House? And, if it is as Master of the House, how will you rule? How will you guide others so they too may advance to become the Master of the House? Or will you use your position to keep them in their place…so you can remain their Master.

And yet, life is so fleeting. It quickly moves on…ever changing…constantly flowing…never waiting…while you decide what type of Master you will be. Choose now…but being ever so careful. For the world is filled with many people who believe they are Masters…only to discover they are really Servants to the Chosen. So choose wisely…but choose.

For the river flows on endlessly…always picking up the drops and carrying them downstream. Never wary…never hesitant…for the river knows it must flow. That it must keep moving…lest it evaporate into thin air. Only to start the cycle again…when it will become a drop again…in the endless flow…of the river we call Life. Don’t stop the river by not choosing the right path.

Rather join the flow…and return to the Source of all that ever was.

Dreamland in Reality

“If you are searching for how to be an Entrepreneur by discovering who you are really meant to be, then you may have been led to a place that will challenge you in that quest. I discovered insights into the criteria of being an Entrepreneur as I journeyed toward my true destination, which I call Dreamland in Reality. 

“My experiences will help you examine the challenges in your life as you reach for your dreams and move forward on your journey. I hope my insights will nudge you towards acknowledging the life God wants you to really live. 

“What was required of me on my journey was to be in the Moment. If I followed my Guidance, I was led in the direction God wanted me to go. And, to God’s amusement, I describe that path as an Entrepreneur.”   

Are you willing to stand up for Truth?

So far, the answer appears to be a resounding “No!” for the majority of us.

A friend of mine called me today and asked what she should do. A neighbor had openly told her that her teenage son had tested positive for COVID-19 and was having systems which the doctors had decided did not warrant hospitalization (yet) but that he needed to be quarantined. She took him home and put him in one of the rooms of her house although everyone shared the house as if nothing had happened. Soon, the neighbor’s youngest daughter was experiencing symptoms. However, the mother refused to allow her young daughter to be tested for COVID because she said the cotton swab used for testing was infected with the disease.

Meanwhile, the mother continued to go to the store everyday for her latte and groceries unmasked. Her other daughter continued to work in the local restaurant. The daughter with symptoms continued to go to elementary school, unmasked.

No one in the neighborhood knew that the son had tested positive, that the young daughter was symptomatic, and they were all living in the same house with no masks or precautions. Instead, they continued their lives oblivious to the fact they were spreading the virus throughout the town without anyone’s knowledge.

Until that point, my friend had no idea that the family was against the vaccines, and even though her son tested positive and the young daughter was symptomatic, the neighbor insisted COVID-19 was all a HOAX. A conspiracy. Fake News.

My friend was asking me what she should do. Who should she tell? Should she remain silent? Afterall, the neighbor told her as if it was nothing. There was no issue of personal privacy. The neighbor didn’t say, “Please don’t tell anyone?” Nope, instead, she was quite proud of her inaction and of herself.

I asked my friend what she knew she should do. You know, that feeling you get when you know God is telling you to act, and instead, you want to try and hide, hoping it will pass. She had very deep concerns about the neighbor next door who was 85 and in failing health…and all the other unsuspecting neighbors with health problems.

And then, I asked the question:

How will you feel if your dear neighbor of 85 dies when you could have done something?

So, I ask you, “What would you do?”

Attitude is Everything

Have you ever imagined being the hero of the day? Imagined yourself being one day rich and famous? We all have. Whether it is the flash of us crossing the finishing line first. Or being a movie star with fame and fortune. Or a famous businessperson featured in national magazines. We all have imagined how our lives might be one day when our dreams turn into reality. It is these moments of inspiration that drive Entrepreneurs to their goal.

Courage: Taking the First Step

Courage.
The power to make your own decisions. The ability to act despite all odds when you know you are right. The ability to stand apart from others when your convictions are more important than your popularity.
Courage.
The knowing that comes when you are connected to God and are willing to speak the Truth no matter what the consequences.
Courage.
The ability to act despite the pressure to remain inanimate, passive when you see wrongs that are being committed.
Courage.
The ability to perceive what needs to be done and the power within to act on that knowledge.
Courage.
The ability to allow yourself the freedom to think about things and determine what is best…and act on that feeling.
Courage.
The ability to look within
