My Soul Mission
Posted by Literary-Titan
Transform Your Cosmic Self is a spiritual guide that charts a path from awakening to ascension by blending autobiography, metaphysics, and practical exercises to help readers explore their spiritual evolution. Why was this an important book for you to write?
It was a Divine calling for me to write Transform Your Cosmic Self after years of soul-seeking and awakening—experiencing both the profound highs and lows of my spiritual journey, which ultimately led me to reunite with my Higher Self, the enlightened aspect of my consciousness. Through this reconnection, I was guided to create a comprehensive guide that intertwines my personal experiences with the Divine wisdom I’ve channeled, to illuminate the path for others who are also navigating their journey of awakening and ascension.
This book is a vital part of my soul mission—to help others expand their consciousness, embody their Divine essence, remember who they truly are, and contribute to raising the collective consciousness of humanity. It serves as both a roadmap and a companion, blending personal story, higher teachings, and practical exercises to support readers in their spiritual evolution with greater clarity, confidence, and Divine alignment.
What is a common misconception you feel people have about awakening and ascension in relation to finding their Soul Purpose?
A common misconception is that awakening and ascension happen suddenly — as if one day you simply “wake up” enlightened and instantly know your Soul Purpose. In truth, awakening and ascension are not single events, but ongoing journeys of self-discovery, healing, and self-mastery.
For every soul, the ultimate purpose is to transcend the cycle of rebirth. Within each lifetime, we are presented with unique lessons and experiences designed to support our spiritual evolution. Many people remain unaware of their greater Soul Purpose until they begin the awakening process. As we evolve, we come to realize that our purpose is not something to seek outside ourselves, but something that unfolds naturally from within as our consciousness expands.
Awakening and ascension invite us to release energetic blockages, raise our vibration, and realign with our Higher Self. It’s not about reaching perfection or a final destination — it’s about walking the path of evolution in alignment with our true essence and allowing our true Soul Purpose to unfold with Divine timing.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
This book is not just a collection of theories or spiritual concepts — it is an integration of my own first-hand experiences gathered over decades of spiritual evolution, combined with the Divine wisdom received through direct connection with my Higher Self and Ascended Masters. It interweaves transformative insights with practical inner-work practices that have emerged through years of soul searching, ascension work, and self-mastery.
It offers a comprehensive roadmap — from the foundational principles of creation to guidance on transcending the cycle of rebirth — providing readers not only with tools for spiritual awakening but also actionable practices to support their ongoing journey of ascension and soul evolution.
How did you develop, or choose, the exercises you use in your book, and what is the best way for a newcomer to explore consciousness and multidimensional existence to get started down this path?
This book is written in a natural flow, so I recommend starting from Chapter 1 and following through each chapter in sequence when reading for the first time. The exercises in this book were carefully developed from decades of personal spiritual practice, energy work, and direct guidance from my Higher Self and Ascended Masters. They combine experiential practices, meditations, and reflective exercises that I have personally used to deepen awareness, release limiting patterns, and expand into higher states of consciousness. Each exercise is designed to help readers access their inner wisdom and cultivate a deeper connection with the true essence of the self.
For newcomers, the best way to begin exploring consciousness is through simple, consistent practices that foster presence and self-awareness. Meditation, contemplation, and energy-focused exercises are excellent starting points. It’s essential to approach this journey with curiosity, patience, and compassion for yourself — awakening and multidimensional exploration are gradual processes. Start small, honor your own pace, and allow insights to unfold naturally as you expand your awareness and reconnect with your Higher Self.

Star People’s Wisdom
Posted by Literary Titan

Star People’s Wisdom moves through levels of consciousness like Akashic, Quantum, and what Basil calls the Megaquantic Field, weaving cosmic science and divine energy into one sweeping spiritual map. It’s not written like a story so much as received energy, a transmission from something higher. The messages from Star People, the talk of DNA shifting into crystalline light, and the merging of God as both darkness and radiance, it all reads like a channeled vision of what’s coming for humanity. The pages buzz with devotion and a call to remember who we really are: infinite beings in a body, walking a universe made of vibration and love.
I’ll be honest, parts of it left me breathless, other parts left me spinning. There’s this raw sincerity in the author’s words, like she’s cracked open her heart and just let the universe speak. Her talk of the “Megaquantic Field” feels wild and new, like she’s building a bridge between physics and prayer. The writing swings between poetic and deeply personal. You can tell she’s lived what she’s sharing. Every fear, every awakening, every night spent staring into the void looking for God. It’s not academic, but that’s part of its charm. It’s like sitting in a long conversation with a friend.
There’s a lot here. Cosmic downloads, alien collectives, energetic codes. It’s easy to get overwhelmed. But when I stopped trying to “get” it and just felt it, something shifted. Her words carried a vibration, like they weren’t meant to convince but to awaken. I felt my own memories stir, old ones, soul-deep ones. Maybe that’s what she meant when she said the book is alive. It really does feel that way.
If you’re someone who’s walking a spiritual path, who’s ever felt like the world doesn’t quite fit anymore, this book will resonate with you. It’s perfect for the seekers, the sensitives, the ones who talk to the stars at night and mean it. It’s for the dreamers and those who are ready, as Basil says, to remember.

Star People’s Wisdom: Messages From Beyond The Stars For Human Awakening
Posted by Literary Titan

From the very beginning, Star People’s Wisdom sets itself apart as something more than a book. It is presented as a transmission, a living energy, rather than just words on a page. Author Victoria Basil takes readers on a sweeping exploration of consciousness, from the Akashic Records to the Quantum and into the newly revealed Megaquantic Field. Along the way, she weaves together personal experiences, channeled messages, and cosmic insights. The themes stretch wide: humanity’s spiritual evolution, the balance of light and dark in God, the recalibration of DNA, and the guidance of extraterrestrial beings she calls the Star People. At its heart, the book serves as a transformational map for seekers stepping into deeper awareness of themselves and the universe.
What struck me most was the tone of intimacy and urgency. Basil doesn’t write like a distant teacher. She writes like someone opening a door and waving you in, insisting that you’re ready, even if you don’t feel it yet. At times, I felt pulled into her excitement, almost like sitting with a friend who just discovered something too important to keep to herself. The rawness of her journey, the trauma, the doubts, the strange synchronicities, gave the cosmic material a human grounding that made it relatable, even when the subject matter stretched the limits of comprehension. The writing often circles back, emphasizing key insights with passion. At times the phrasing reaches for grandeur, but the sincerity beneath it kept me turning pages.
Some of the concepts challenged me. The Megaquantic Field, crystalline DNA, and dimensional timelines are not ideas that come easily. Yet I also found myself unexpectedly moved. Her discussion of God as both light and dark, for example, was thought-provoking. It reframed the discomfort I’ve always had with “all light” spirituality, and it felt refreshingly honest. Her channelings from the Star People, whether taken literally or symbolically, carried an energy of encouragement and compassion that I couldn’t dismiss. There’s a warmth in her insistence that no one is broken or too late, and that reminder is a gift in itself.
I would recommend this book to anyone on a spiritual path who feels restless, curious, or out of place in conventional explanations of reality. This is a book for seekers who resonate with words like awakening, energy, higher timelines, and soul expansion, those open to transformational ideas that stretch beyond the boundaries of accepted science. It is not just read, it is experienced. Infused with channeled wisdom and conscious awakening, it serves as both a companion and a catalyst, guiding readers to feel as much as they think. For those ready to expand their awareness, Star People’s Wisdom offers inspiration, remembrance, and a spark of illumination for the path ahead.

Everything From Nothing
Posted by Literary Titan

S.E. Elwell’s Everything From Nothing delves into the profound questions surrounding the origin of the universe and life itself. With a focus on the Big Bang theory, the book examines how the cosmos emerged from a state of nothingness to the complex reality we inhabit today, perfectly encapsulated in the book’s title. Drawing on decades of research in both science and philosophy, Elwell presents his own theories on the source behind the Big Bang. He explores how this origin may be intricately tied to the existence of life and the universe, proposing that life is a conscious manifestation of what he calls the “infinite source of potential.”
I appreciated how Elwell doesn’t bog the reader down with scientific jargon but explains complex ideas, such as the relationship between “nothingness” and an “infinite source,” in a way that feels conversational. The writing style itself is straightforward and easy to follow, but I found that sometimes the philosophical leaps felt too speculative without enough grounding in evidence. That said, Elwell is clearly aiming to inspire readers to look beyond what is empirically provable, and on that level, the book succeeds in being both provocative and engaging.
The discussions on consciousness and purpose are where the book really shines for me. Elwell argues that consciousness is not just a biological phenomenon but part of a larger unfolding of infinite potential. This idea, while ambitious, was fascinating to contemplate. The suggestion that all of nature is “self-aware” to some degree made me reflect deeply on the interconnectedness of all things. The notion that the universe is evolving toward a higher, more self-aware state resonated with me, even if it remains speculative. I appreciated the intellectual curiosity that drives these arguments.
Everything from Nothing is a thought-provoking read for anyone curious about the origins of existence and the possibility of a higher purpose. While some of the claims might feel more philosophical than scientific, Elwell does an admirable job weaving the two disciplines together. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy contemplating the “big questions” and are open to a blend of science, metaphysics, and spiritual insight.

Our Fate Is In Our Own Hands
Posted by Literary_Titan
The Eye of God is an exploration that encourages readers to reconsider their understanding of reality, bridging the gap between science and religion. Why was this an important book for you to write?
For most of my life I had struggled trying to reconcile the teachings of religion with science and my understanding of the world. That all changed when it occurred to me that how science describes the force called Gravity corresponds to the way the greatest minds in philosophy and theism have described God for almost 2500 years. During all that time, great thinkers such as Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Avicenna, and Baruch Spinoza described what are called incommunicable attributes which God alone can possess. These incommunicable attributes include transcendent, omnipresent, simple, immaterial or not made of anything, eternal, unchanging or immutable, responsible for the creation of the universe or spacetime, and not being contingent or coming from something else. When I realized this is also how science describes the force called Gravity, I knew I had to get that into a book and get that non-personal universal truth out into the world.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
The main idea I just mentioned is that there cannot be two or more different things which possess these Incommunicable Attributes. By the very definition, Incommunicable, there can only be one. We have scientific evidence proving Gravity possessing these attributes. The law of identity, which is one of the three laws of logical thought, requires that each thing be identical to itself. So, if we prove through science that Gravity possesses these attributes, and then we say that God alone may possess them, logic then dictates that when we talk about God we are talking about Gravity and vice versa. Another important idea also involves a law of logical thought, the law of non-contradiction, and what are referred to as the communicable attributes of God, which are attributes that we all could possess. The law of non-contradiction states that things which are mutually exclusive cannot be true in the same way. There are many communicable attributes used to describe God, some of the most popular include loving, knowing, wrathful, jealous, and just. I propose that God cannot possess these attributes because doing so would make God patient, or dependent, on the actions of humans, which would violate the law of noncontradiction. God cannot possess these attributes which we all possess, as well as possess the incommunicable attributes which God alone possesses, because these different attributes contradict one another. God loving us, being angry with us, or showing us mercy would make God dependent on our actions for God’s own feelings. God would have to have a mind, which would need to retain thoughts, God would need emotions, God could no longer be immaterial, simple and without parts. God could no longer be immutable as all of this would require God change. Basically, I believe humans projected onto God what we know of ourselves. But instead, the truth is that God (Gravity) being transcendent, omnipresent, simple, immaterial, eternal, unchanging, noncontingent and responsible for the creation of the universe all means that God is nothing like humans or anything else in the universe. The final idea is that this new paradigm frees us from harmful religious dogma while reconciling spirituality, philosophy, logic and science, a project which was started in the Axial Age and carried on during The Enlightenment.
What experience in your life has had the biggest impact on your writing?
The Eye of God is first thing I have ever written. And the lack of sales has had the biggest impact on my writing. I imagined that if I produced a quality, thought-provoking, philosophical text, people would read and discuss it. Here at Literary Titan, you gave The Eye of God a 4-star review, which for my first book was very encouraging. Kirkus and Blue Ink gave me a good balanced review as well. Readers’ Favorite gave it 5 out 5 stars, OnlineBookClub 4 out of 5 stars, Outstanding Creator gave it 9.1+ out of 10. I sent almost 400 free ARCs to Philosophers, Theists, Scientists and Influencers. Only one college student influencer downloaded a copy and gave it 3 out of 5 stars on GoodReads. No one else has downloaded a free copy. I posted my Press Release to r/Philosophy on Reddit and a half dozen people immediately attacked The Eye of God based solely on the press release alone I suppose. Before I could even respond to all their assumptions, the post was frozen by the mods for breaking a rule that didn’t seem consistent with other posts which had basically done the same thing without issue. I spent a few hundred dollars on Ads with Reddit and Amazon which drove 400 – 500 people to my web site for a month. No one bought a book. Even though I read about countless number of similar experiences from so many authors while I was writing The Eye of God, I naively thought somehow that I would be different. I never asked “Why?” Why would someone spend money to buy my book and take the time to read it? People do not know who I am, and most already have their mind made up about God, one way or the other. It doesn’t matter how good my book is, unless of course a celebrity like Bill Gates puts it on their summer reading list. So, writing this book has made me into a writer. The Eye of God is not going to sell itself. I must build my brand, which means writing articles on platforms such as Medium, X and LinkedIn. No one gets to cut to the front of the line.
What is one thing that you hope readers take away from The Eye of God?
I hope readers realize this new paradigm frees us from prior superstitions and religious dogma. Of course, as I wrote in the book “This will require that we think for ourselves, and thinking is hard, but our ability to reason is one of our greatest attributes and key to our continued survival. Luckily, our success or failure is not in the hands of some wrathful deity whom we could anger, or who could destroy us on a whim. Our fate is in our own hands, the fate of the planet itself is in our hands. This is a tremendous responsibility, and nothing should be taken more seriously now.”

This book stands as both a challenge to conventional religious dogma and a fervent call to reconcile logic with spiritual beliefs. By tenaciously arguing for the existence of God using logic and science, it aims to free humanity from antiquated religious ideologies while bridging the chasm between rationality and transcendence.
Dive into a transformative exploration that not only seeks universal truths but also hopes to inspire readers to reflect upon reality and their role within it. Join in on a pursuit of knowledge, reason, and an unwavering quest for truth.

The Eye of God
Posted by Literary Titan

In The Eye of God, Aeternus Costin embarks on a compelling exploration that encourages readers to reconsider their understanding of reality. Bridging the gap between science and religion, Costin draws on his religious upbringing and later agnostic beliefs to present a well-rounded argument on the existence of God through the lenses of science, technology, and philosophy.
Using logical reasoning and examination of historical texts, Costin proposes a thought-provoking idea: gravity, a fundamental force in our universe, is a manifestation of a transcendent force that he identifies as God. This perspective not only challenges traditional views but also aligns the concept of God with our evolving understanding of the cosmos. Costin’s narrative suggests that “religions evolve alongside humans, adapting to meet our changing needs and perspectives.” This fluidity of belief systems is a central theme, though I feel his critique of traditional religious narratives as “stories and myths” may be somewhat contentious for those who value religious heritage.
The book delves into potentially controversial territories, especially with Costin’s portrayal of gravity as a divine principle. While innovative, I believe his argument may leave some readers seeking a more robust defense against potential criticisms of simplifying God to a natural phenomenon. Nevertheless, Costin’s emphasis on scientific integrity is laudable. His personal journey from faith to skepticism adds depth to his arguments, enriching the narrative with a personal touch that emphasizes the importance of truth and scientific inquiry.
The Eye of God does not claim to have all the answers but rather serves as an invitation for readers to reevaluate their perceptions of the divine against the backdrop of scientific progression.

We Control Our Reactions
Posted by Literary_Titan

The Truman Show: It’s True, Man! builds off the iconic movie The Truman Show and guides readers on a thought-provoking journey into the universe and reality that we experience. Why was this an important book for you to write?
Because if the physics experts are correct and we are living in a hologram, many of our beliefs about how the Universe works need to be examined and revised accordingly. For example, most people spend a lot of time resisting and trying to change the experiences they encounter. But if we live in a hologram, by definition, those experiences are not created by us inside the hologram, but by someone or something OUTSIDE the hologram — and that’s not us, so we can’t create, change or control the experiences we have. The only thing we can create, change or control is our reaction or response to those experiences, not the experiences themselves. So, there is no point wasting time bitching and moaning about the lousy poker hand we were dealt; we should be focusing all our time and energy on how we want to play that hand instead. And that’s just one example of how living in a hologram requires us to adapt our lives accordingly.
Did you find anything in your research of this book that surprised you?
Absolutely! I’ve been researching quantum physics and the holographic universe for about 30 years, and the surprises started with what is called the Double Slit Experiment, first performed in a rudimentary fashion by Thomas Young in 1801. As a result of that experiment, and many more to follow over the years, we learned that what we have always thought of as solid matter actually exists in wave form until it’s observed and converted into a particle. That’s why, when you view a hologram from the outside, you can pass your hand through it as if nothing was there. But if you are inside the hologram (as we are in this universe), the hologram feels and acts very solid and real. (I do not go into the Double Slit Experiment specifically in The Truman Show: It’s True, Man! Book, because it is not necessary to understand The Truman Show movie.)
The other big surprise occurred while actually writing the book, and that was learning a new English word: Demiurge. It turns out Plato used this word way back in 360 B.C. in one of his dialogues called “Timaeus,” where the demiurge is presented as the creator of the universe rather than God. It made so much sense to me that a loving, caring, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent God would not create the kind of world we see when we look around today at all the pain and suffering and broken systems. It makes more sense to me that a being lower on the chain of command like a Demiurge was responsible for creating this mess. (Most religions believe in a pyramid scheme in the heavens, with different angels and archangels and yazatas (in Zoroastrian heavens).)
What experience in your life has had the biggest impact on your writing?
Over 20 years ago I read and researched nearly 1500 medical and scientific papers and studies about HIV and AIDS and came away knowing, without any doubt, that HIV could not be the cause of AIDS. And that 300,000 young men — mostly homosexual — lost their lives because of the incorrect cause presented to the world at a press conference by a megalomaniac named Dr. Robert Gallo who wanted to win a Nobel Prize for discovering the cause of AIDS. But the world believed Gallo, resulting in a catastrophic epidemic that was totally unnecessary. (AIDS was actually caused by giving a highly toxic cancer drug called AZT as a “cure” to these 300,000 men along with the widespread use of “poppers” by the homosexual community.)
Now, why did this have such an impact on my writing? Two reasons: One, I discovered that there are beliefs we have all adopted that play a major role in determining our behavior that we should re-examine and decide for ourselves whether they are true or not. And two, I had to figure out how to take very difficult and complicated topics and put them into much simpler language for everyone to follow and understand. I then wrote 2 books about HIV and AIDS, and that also stood me in good stead when it came to writing about the holographic universe.
What is one thing that you hope readers take away from The Truman Show: It’s True, Man!?
To be prepared to make drastic changes in their beliefs, opinions, judgments and fears as we discover more and more about the universe we actually live in. Of course, if the physics experts turn out to be wrong and we do NOT live in a hologram, then in the words of Emily Litella on Saturday Night Live, “Nevermind!”
Author Links: GoodReads | Website
Why? Well, there are well-known and very well-respected physicists who say that you and I are living in a holographic universe. In this book, Stephen Davis asks, “If they’re right, what difference does it make? Are we a lot more like Truman Burbank in the movie than we realize? Do we need to look more closely at the beliefs that dictate our day-to-day behavior?
The Truman Show: It’s True, Man! is a gripping, mind-bending journey that will have you questioning the reality you think you know. And, like Truman. can you break free from the confines of YOUR televised prison and follow him through that door in the sky?

The Truman Show: It’s True, Man!
Posted by Literary Titan

The Truman Show: It’s True, Man!, by Stephen Davis, is a thought-provoking journey into the intricacies of our perceived reality, intertwined with the thematic backdrop of The Truman Show. This book elegantly melds quantum physics, neuroscience, and philosophy to challenge our conventional understanding of the world and our actions within it.
Drawing inspiration from renowned physicists such as David Bohm, Leonard Susskind, Amit Goswami, and Jacob D. Bekenstein, the narrative opens with a profound question: Are we living in a hologram? The author carefully constructs a foundation for this concept, suggesting that our reality is an illusion, much like the constructed world of Truman Burbank. By paralleling these theories with the cult classic film, Davis skillfully encourages readers to rethink their lives within the context of a carefully orchestrated stage.
At its core, the book articulates the idea that our perceptions shape our reality, leading to a powerful hypothesis that our brains project the world “out there” for us to experience. The parallels to The Truman Show are striking, as Truman’s actions are controlled and influenced by those observing him. Davis’s work invites readers to scrutinize the authenticity of their daily lives and confront the possibility of there being no “out there” at all. It challenges our perception of reality and the agency we have over our actions, raising intriguing questions about the extent to which external observers may be orchestrating our lives, much like Truman’s creators did in the movie.
Overall, The Truman Show: It’s True, Man! is an engaging book in which readers are asked to question some fundamental understandings of the world around us. This book blurs the line between reality and illusion and compels us to revisit our beliefs about the world, the nature of our actions, and the extent to which external influences may shape our lives. I highly recommend The Truman Show: It’s True, Man! for anyone who likes books that feel ‘trippy’ and make you think about the world around you.
