ANSWERS:

Why 7?

An old adage states:

“Wisdom hath builded her house

she hath hewn out her seven pillars.” Proverbs 9, 1.

It was always considered that a strong foundation to any house will have sufficient number of pillars to support its structure, and so it seems that Solomon the King, who was reported to be the wisest man of all, saw the need for Wisdom’s foundation to be as sound upon 7 pillars.

The number seven has many ancient meanings of importance that, if you wish, could be researched and studied.

What are the Truths?

The 7 Truths are very uniquely explained in The Essential Companion, and it is important to read them all in context and with cross-references. It is advisable to study them and contemplate them, which makes it not as convenient to be used online therefore; they will not be explained within this web-site.

What are the 7 Tools?

The 7 tools are 7 techniques that are aiding us through the utilization of the 7 Truths, so we may incorporate them into our lives with greater ease. Those are simple and known methods, and when their value is revealed, it is even easier to use them. You will realize their importance yet again.

How do the Truths differ from the Tools?

Knowing and/or understanding something does not necessarily means that one knows how to use it in one’s life, as well as incorporating it so it may become second nature. The tools are there to help us do just that while, increasing our understanding of the Truths.

Is this New Age knowledge / Philosophy?

Definitely NOT.

Wisdom is as ancient as Creation. It was always the thirst of Human Beings that brought them nearer and nearer to Universal Truths and Laws. It seems though, that in each and every generation, millennia and era they have to be re-taught, re-introduced and re-explained.

We endeavour to bring them to you in a fresh succinct manner that may be understood by all.

Why to Be Told Again?

Human Beings are evolving without stop. For example: our grand parents needed extensive explanation of a calculator, not to mention that they never even seen a computer. Our children on the other hand, know it all naturally, and can teach us a thing or two as well.

The evolution that Human beings go through is recorded on many levels, some of which may have not been recorded clearly enough due to our manner and rhythm of living.

It seems that our children are brought up in a loud and hasty world, one that leaves very little time for contemplation and realizations. Thus, it is important to bring to the foreground of our & our children’s mind a simple and elegant explanation of these Universal Truths, that may be understood within a moment.

Is This a Religious Booklet?

We chose to adhere to the Truths that existed in this world even prior to religion of any kind, so as not to affiliate with any one religion.

When Galileo proclaimed the Earth to circle the Sun and not the other way around, he fought the belief that existed in his days, he did not try to relate to religion, and he just stated that which was evidently true. Today, we have many more evidences to this truth, which makes Galileo even a greater sage in our minds.

Whether it is the Earth circling the Sun, the power of gravity on an apple or mankind, or seen and unseen effects, there are things in this world, which are solid truths. It is better for us that we will know them well.

Do we really need it?

The other day, I raised my head from the task at hand and took a deep breathe. Only when I felt the air refreshing my lungs, did I realize that I was holding my breath and otherwise breathing shallow.

Did I need the air? Of course!

Sometimes, only when we get the things we need, we are able to acknowledge our actual need of them, as well as the value they enrich our lives with.

In our opinion, each and every newly born should have received a copy of The Essential Companion, and each and every person on Earth should have one.

The manner in which this Universe operates, it seems that these Truths are perennial as the grass, forever existing and renewing. Let each and everyone of us have the freedom to have them and benefit from them always.

How do I Jump-Start my life to Success with The Essential Companion?

The Essential Companion is there to highlight to you the importance in relating to the simple and fundamental in life.

Life may be complex and hard, but this does not mean that we should lose our direction in life, nor our ability to maintain it.

When one’s identity and value are held steadfast in the face of calm or stormy day, one may advance in life and have the chance for some happiness.

Study The Essential Companion, contemplate and meditate over it. Hold it near you and re-examine it frequently. Read it when you are feeling low or in doubt, or at any time. Take notes of your own experiences, and while re-reading your notes – check their validity against the Truths.

Your state of mind will change, and you will affect other people as well. You will be in awe of yourself, as you meet life with strength.

How close at hand should I keep it and what about sharing it with others?

We recommend that you will carry The essential Companion with you, this is why we designed it and enclosed it the way we did.

A lot of special blessing and loving energies went into its creation, and we are sure that even keeping it on your person will benefit you.

In life, each and every one is a deserving being, so each and every person should have their own copy. We made it possible by charging so little for it, most people spend much more on frivolous things, that might not even be healthy for them.

The Essential Companion is protected by the Copyright Laws, and we will appreciate your respect of them.

We have created a charitable program to aid some extraordinary situations, as well as other charities. Out of each and every sale of The essential Companion, a donation is made, so respecting the Copyrights Law ensures that the charities are benefited from it.

While understanding the Truths and utilizing the Tools, you will automatically share the fruits of your efforts with others.

What is The Essential Companion Charitable Program?

10% of each Essential Companion sold is going to charity.

The charitable program has number of facets, one is donations to charities of our choice, another is donations of The Essential Companion to needy children, yet another is supporting your choice of charity when you buy The Essential Companion in high quantities.

The charities we support are mainly in the fields of Education, the Environment, Health and last but not least – Children. See also our Charity Program Page.

May I purchase high quantities and name the charity of my choice?

Yes. You certainly may, and when you do, we will transfer the funds to the charity of your choice and post you a receipt to that effect.

Delivery Time?

Please allow 3-5 weeks for delivery, it might get there sooner.

You will receive an e-mail confirming your order, and another when it will be sent.

What do you offer with your subscription?

We have number of projects that may interest you, as well as updates on The Essential Companion Series. We would like very much to let you know about them while, refraining from sending too many e-mails.

The Companion $3.95 ""In the corners of the room the shadows cast velvety veils. It would not be too difficult to imagine someone stood there and watched. I thought of Madeleine Hexham….

" When Lizzie Martin arrives in London in 1864 to become a lady’s companion, her first impressions are disturbing. She’s barely out of the station when her cab encounters a wagon carrying the remains of a young woman recently dead.

As, too, is Ben Ross: a man who cares about justice, whatever the class of victim. But they must tread carefully, as a cornered killer is the most dangerous of all…

As an inventor in the merchant caste, his life is predictable in its routine until the night his best friends and assistants, Caleb and Andrew, purchase the time-and body-of a companion for his birthday. As an activist in the Caste Equality movement, everything Gabriel believes in tells him to refuse the gift, but then he meets Lucio. The beautiful and alluring companion is far more than the vapid courtesan he’d expected, and he can’t get the man out of his mind. After that night, Gabriel tells himself to forget about Lucio, but a chance meeting at a ball makes it clear neither of them is willing to ignore the compelling chemistry between them. It will take all their combined trust and cunning, plus the help of a wily aristocrat and a plucky political activist, to overcome the challenges of infidelity, abuse, and social stigma that lay along their road; however, Gabriel knows it will all be worth it if at the end of the day he can call Lucio his own.

The Definitive Prince Valiant Companion $21.96 Out of print for over a decade, The Prince Valiant Companion has become a Holy Grail for collectors of the series. Now, in anticipation of the seventy-fifth anniversary of comics’ longest-running adventure strip, and to celebrate their own just-launched reprinting of the strip’s classic earliest years, Fantagraphics is proud to present an expanded version of this hard-to-find collector’s item. Compiled by award-winning Foster biographer Brian M. Kane, The Definitive Prince Valiant Companion beautifully and definitively showcases the careers of artists Hal Foster, John Cullen Murphy, and Gary Gianni. In addition to updating the original version’s story synopsis section with over thirty years of material, The Definitive Prince Valiant Companion also contains rare and new articles. Included in this volume is a never before reprinted newspaper feature from 1949, Foster’s final interview conducted by Arn Saba, an extensive interview with John Cullen Murphy, and a new interview with the current Prince Valiant creative team of Gary Gianni and Mark Schultz. The Companion also contains a new, in-depth article by Kane on Foster’s artistic influences, as well as a foreword by comics historian Brian Walker, and an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ray Bradbury. A special feature of The Companion is a sixteen-page color section of carefully selected strips from the entire run of the comic. Showcasing this section are eight pages by Foster, scanned and digitally restored from original color engraver’s proofs that had been carefully stored and preserved for over forty years. For the first time ever, collectors will be able to see Prince Valiant as Foster intended it to be seen, with all of his fine inked line work intact. Rounding out this section are four John Cullen Murphy pages from the Murphy family’s collection of proofs, and four Gary Gianni pages that were selected by the artist and digitally recolored under his supervision.

The Companion to Irish Traditional Music $39 The Companion to Irish Traditional Music represents a landmark in the study of one of the Western world’s most universally recognizable forms of cultural expression. This ambitious volume comes at a time when Irish music and culture is experiencing a genuine renaissance, as evidenced by the popularity of such phenomena as Riverdance. Only a handful of books have attempted to present an overall picture of Irish traditional music, and many of these are now outdated or out of print. Since the late 1960s, the traditional music scene has changed radically: the commercial life of traditional music has mushroomed, bringing with it tremendous growth in what might be called music tourism. At the same time, an energetic revivalism has taken hold, the result of a wealth of new approaches to playing and spirited debate over the influence of traditionalism in Irish music. Fintan Vallely has harnessed the expertise of dozens of specialists who between them present a remarkably comprehensive picture of the field, incorporating ancient history, past ideals, and contemporary ideologies. The companion presents A-Z descriptions of individuals, traditions, and instruments, as well as an analysis of the modern history of traditional music-making. Biographical entries cover significant musicians and composers and central themes; central themes within traditional music, such as the oral tradition, the Bardic system, and the politics of Irish music, are given extended entries. Not just the ideal reference for the interested enthusiast, The Companion to Irish Traditional Music provides a unique resource for every home, school, or library with an interest in the distinctive rituals, qualities, and history of Irish traditional music and song.

The Optimist’s/The Pessimist’s Handbook: A Companion to Hope/A Companion to Despair $3.95 "The mere sense of living is joy enough." Emily Dickinson, 1830-1886, American poet Humanity’s story is one long testimony to the truth that life is as rewarding and beautiful as you make it. As pioneers, inventors, and dreamers have always known, you can do anything if only you persevere. Ever since we hauled ourselves out of the swamp, our history has been one of extraordinary cultural and technological progress, of mind-boggling discoveries and remarkable achievements, often against the odds.

This handbook will inspire, enchant, and entertain you as you go forward into all your wonderful tomorrows. Even if, after reading it, you are not moved to feats of glory for the greater good, the fact is that optimists are healthier, happier, and richer than their gloomy counterparts. Hear that, killjoys? "The world is a grindstone and life is your nose." Fred Allen, 1894-1956, American humorist Why beat around the bush? The truth is that life is a never-ending cycle of toil and pain with nothing but death to reward all our suffering. Furthermore, what solace is there in blind optimism or fanciful daydreaming when it is perfectly clear that the world is heading toward a complete meltdown whether we live in it or not? Resigning yourself to life’s grim treadmill, and thereby avoiding more disappointments, is the best way to trudge forward. "The Pessimist’s Handbook" is an indispensable companion on your journey through this vale of tears. A clear-sighted, realistic look at life’s obstacles, this guidebook is stocked with the pearls of wisdom you need to counter the irritating voices of those who trumpet futile positivity and inane confidence in a brighter future. Feel reassured that scores of people share your sense of impending doom…and have done so for centuries. After all, misery loves company, but not when it’s a horde of perky utopians.

Don’t be surprised if you open it up for the thirty-five thousandth time and find something old, something new, something borrowed or. . .well you get the point. Curl up in a comfy chair with some millennium-old scotch and feast upon the informative banquet I have prepared for your enjoyment. Welcome to your new life. —From the Dark-Hunter Companion

The Optimist’s Handbook/The Pessimist’s Handbook: A Companion to Hope/A Companion to Despair $3.95 "The mere sense of living is joy enough." Emily Dickinson, 1830-1886, American poet Humanity’s story is one long testimony to the truth that life is as rewarding and beautiful as you make it. As pioneers, inventors, and dreamers have always known, you can do anything if only you persevere. Ever since we hauled ourselves out of the swamp, our history has been one of extraordinary cultural and technological progress, of mind-boggling discoveries and remarkable achievements, often against the odds. It’s no coincidence that you see no statues of pessimists in city squares. Still, cynical and doubting voices are heard all too loudly and frequently in public discourse. A potent antidote to their gloom and doom, "The Optimist’s Handbook" is a joyful explosion of wit and wisdom from our past and present that celebrates the art of greeting life with the excitement it deserves. This handbook will inspire, enchant, and entertain you as you go forward into all your wonderful tomorrows. Even if, after reading it, you are not moved to feats of glory for the greater good, the fact is that optimists are healthier, happier, and richer than their gloomy counterparts. Hear that, killjoys? "The world is a grindstone and life is your nose." Fred Allen, 1894-1956, American humorist Why beat around the bush? The truth is that life is a never-ending cycle of toil and pain with nothing but death to reward all our suffering. Furthermore, what solace is there in blind optimism or fanciful daydreaming when it is perfectly clear that the world is heading toward a complete meltdown whether we live in it or not? Resigning yourself to life’s grim treadmill, and thereby avoiding more disappointments, is the best way to trudge forward. "The Pessimist’s Handbook" is an indispensable companion on your journey through this vale of tears. A clear-sighted, realistic look at life’s obstacles, this guidebook is stocked with the pearls of wisdom you need to counter the irritating voices of those who trumpet futile positivity and inane confidence in a brighter future. Feel reassured that scores of people share your sense of impending doom…and have done so for centuries. After all, misery loves company, but not when it’s a horde of perky utopians.

The Oxford Companion to Twentieth-Century Poetry in English $3.94 The first and only comprehensive work of its kind, The Companion to Twentieth Century Poetry in English charts the development of poetry from 1900 to the present, across the whole of the English-speaking world, from the United States, Great Britain, and Ireland to New Zealand, Pakistan, Singapore, Trinidad and Zimbabwe–anywhere where poets write in English. Alphabetically arranged for ease of reference, it offers biographical entries on some 1,500 individual poets, as well as over one hundred entries covering important magazines, movements, literary terms and concepts. As readable as it is comprehensive, the Companion offers a fascinating survey of this century’s shift from ‘poetry’ to ‘poetries, ‘ as American and British traditions of poetry have made way for a growing diversity of voices, and as the burgeoning poetries of Australia, Canada, and other English-speaking countries assert their own identities. The range of poets represented in this Companion is extraordinary. Here are in-depth discussions of Yeats, Eliot, Pound, and Joyce alongside provocative assessments of W.H. Auden, Elizabeth Bishop, Wallace Stevens, and Marianne Moore. John Ashbery, Margaret Atwood, Maya Angelou, and Mary Oliver are accounted for, as well as Carolyn Forche, David Bottoms, Jorie Graham, and many other younger poets just coming into prominence. Chinua Achebee, Jack Mapanje, Femi Oyebode and other important African poets writing in English are here, as well as poets from the Caribbean, India, and even Russia. Readers will relish this Companion’s many insightful contributions from celebrated poet-critics, writing on other poets in intriguing author-subject combinations. For example, Seamus Heaneywrites on Robert Lowell ("Lowell had invented a way of getting at life, of making poetry kick and freak at the edge of contemporary reality"), Ann Stevenson discusses Sylvia Plath ("In the quarter-century following her suicide, Sylvia Plath has become a heroine and martyr of the feminist movement. In fact, she was a martyr mainly to the recurrent psychodrama that staged itself within the bell jar of her tragically wounded personality"), and Tom Paulin weighs in on Ted Hughes ("His appointment as Poet Laureate in 1984 sealed his essentially shaman-like conception of his poetic mission and enabled him to speak out on environmental issues while celebrating royal weddings and babies"). Other pairings include Jay Parini on Wallace Stevens, Jon Stallworthy on Wilfred Owen and Rupert Brook, and William H. Pritchard on Robert Frost and Randall Jarrell. Each entry includes a wealth of biographical and bibliographical information, and a select bibliography at the end of the book supplies a handy source of information on poets whose work is not otherwise in print, or readily available to readers. From Abse and Auden to Zaturenska and Zukofsky, The Oxford Companion to Twentieth-Century Poetry in English is an essential reference for students, lov

12 Step Prayers for A Way Out $7.99 “12 Step Prayers for A Way Out” is an insightful collection of prayers and inspirational readings. It is a practical and spiritual tool for anyone currently working a twelve-step program. It can be used alone or as a companion to the best selling workbook, “The 12 Steps-A Way Out,” or “The Twelve Steps for Adult Children.” Either of the suggested companion books offer help for individuals who are seeking to identify and resolve painful issues from their past.It contains an extensive collection of prayers and inspirational readings for people in twelve-step programs and reinforces the power of prayer as part of the recovery journey. Reliance on a Higher Power through prayer is an important key to success in any twelve-step program. But prayer doesn’t come easily for many of us. Many of us see the wisdom and effectiveness of the Twelve Steps, but we sometimes balk when we come to “Sought through prayer and mediation…” prescribed in Step Eleven. We may question the usefulness of prayer, or we may ignore the practice of it. Most resistance to prayer doesn’t come from a disbelief in God; it stems from the fact many of us were never taught how to pray.The book adapts the Twelve Steps that were developed over seventy five years ago with the formation of Alcoholic Anonymous. In this program we learn how God uses the healing power of the Twelve Steps as a way to restore the lives of countless individuals. Members of Alcoholics Anonymous carried this healing message to others, acknowledging they are people who know what it is to be broken by life and mended by God. It is dedicated to all those who found healing through the twelve-step program, and who continue to choose to share their experience, strength and hope with those still searching.For companion books refer to “The 12 Steps for Adult Children” or “The 12 Steps – A Way O

Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Snake in the Grass is a 2002 play by British playwright Alan Ayckbourn. It is about two middle-aged women who return to the house of their late father, who abused them in different ways. It was written as a female companion piece to the 1994 ghost play Haunting Julia, and in 2008 these two plays, together with new play Life and Beth were folded into a trilogy named Things That Go Bump. Ayckbourn’s first “ghost” theme play, Haunting Julia, had a cast of three men, all haunted, in different ways, by the suicide of the daughter of one of the men. Subsequently Ayckbourn had expressed a wish to write a female counterpart of this play. This was further encouraged by the continuing success of Stephen Mallatratt’s adaptation of The Woman in Black (itself a heavy source of inspiration for Haunting Julia). The success of this play, along with Yasmina Reza’s ‘Art’ also suggest that small-cast plays were becoming popular in commercial theatre. A further factor was Ayckbourn’s move towards more contemporary issues – in particular GamePlan, on the theme of teenage prostitution.. This was the first play in the 2001 trilogy Damsels in Distress. The following year he wrote Snake in the Grass and it went one step further, with one of the characters a victim of

99% Ape: How Evolution Adds Up $26  In his lifetime, Charles Darwin was roundly mocked for suggesting that humans were descended from apes, and even in our own day, the teaching of evolution remains controversial. But in the century and a half since the publication of On the Origin of Species, our increasingly sophisticated understanding of genetics has borne out Darwin’s theory: humans share 99% of their genes with chimps (and many even with grapes!).            99% Ape offers an accessible, straightforward introduction to evolution, beginning with Darwin’s discoveries and continuing through the latest genetic discoveries. Edited by Jonathan Silvertown, the volume brings together experts in a variety of fields pertinent to evolution, from paleobiology to planetary science, comparative anatomy to zoology, and even—for a discussion of legal battles surrounding the teaching of evolution—law. Interwoven with these varied accounts of evolution and its impact are vignettes from Darwin’s life that illustrate the continuity of thought that links Darwin’s work to today’s cutting-edge research.            Beautifully illustrated, 99% Ape is a perfect companion to the upcoming celebration of Darwin’s bicentennial and a bracing reminder of the important role evolution still has to play in our understanding of our origins—and our possible futures.
