About this listen
In The Chess Master's Dilemma, Michael, a passionate chess enthusiast, stumbles upon an ancient and enigmatic chess set gifted by his eccentric uncle. Little does he know that this chess set is not ordinary; it is a portal to an otherworldly realm where the consequences of each move are all too real.
Drawn into the enchanted chess set, Michael finds himself in a lush and surreal landscape, tasked with overcoming a series of challenges posed by living chess pieces. His strategic skills are put to the test as he faces moral dilemmas and the weight of his decisions in a world where sacrifice is both a tactical necessity and a moral quandary.
As Michael progresses through this magical realm, he becomes not just a chess player but a king, a leader who must navigate the complexities of the game and the consequences of his choices. Along the way, he grapples with the question of whether he is a hero or a monster, as the beings within the chess set see him as both savior and oppressor.
Upon returning to the ordinary world, Michael is haunted by the memories of the beings he encountered and the moral dilemmas he faced. He longs to convey his understanding and compassion to them but is uncertain of how to bridge the gap between their worlds.
With the support of his partner in life and chess, Sarah, Michael embarks on a quest to find a way to communicate with the otherworldly beings and seek reconciliation. Together, they discover that the enchanted chess set holds mysteries beyond imagination and that their journey is far from over.
The Chess Master's Dilemma: Confronting Morality in an Enchanted World is a tale of adventure, self-discovery, and the enduring power of compassion. It explores the boundaries between right and wrong, hero and monster, and the profound impact of our choices on the worlds we touch.

Story
With the imagery of a poet and the reflection of a philosopher, David Whyte turns his attention to 52 ordinary words, each its own particular doorway into the underlying currents of human life. Beginning with "Alone" and closing with "Work", each chapter is a meditation on meaning and context, an invitation to shift and broaden our perspectives on the inevitable vicissitudes of life: pain and joy, honesty and anger, confession and vulnerability, the experience of feeling besieged and the desire to run away from it all.

In the national best seller Living with the Devil, Batchelor traces the trajectory from the words of the Buddha and Christ, through the writings of Shantideva, Milton, and Pascal, to the poetry of Baudelaire, the fiction of Kafka, and the findings of modern physics and evolutionary biology to examine who we really are and to rest in the uncertainty that we may never know. Like his previous best seller, Living with the Devil is an introduction to Buddhism that encourages listeners to nourish their "buddha nature" and make peace with the devils that haunt human life.

Story
Author Cynthia Bourgeault investigates the imaginal realm - an energetic realm well known to the mystical traditions but often forgotten in our own times. It is invisible to the physical eye, but clearly perceptible through the eye of the heart. The imaginal realm has long been associated with the personal world of dreams, prophecy, and oracles, and it also points toward a higher vision of our human purpose that is both evolutionary and collective. Bourgeault explores both aspects of imaginal reality and tells listeners how we can cooperate more fully with its guidance in our lives.
