Broken Mirrors, Steady Ground is a testament to survival—not as triumph, but as deliberate, daily choice. For anyone carrying unrelenting weight—veterans, chronic pain warriors, parents holding it together on fumes—this is proof that even a cracked reflection can still show the way forward.

I am a Christ-centric mystical omnist with gnostic-resonant restorationist spirituality and a radically honest epistemology of faith. Put simply I am a Jesus-hearted seeker who reads everything but bows to One. These fifteen sermons were never meant to stay quiet. Some burst onto social media at 3 a.m. because the fire would not wait. Others were written in silence and kept like letters no one might ever open. A few still carry the taste of late-night nicotine and desperate prayer. There is no cigarette smoke in this book. I traded that for grace and a vape.

What happens when particles lose their individuality and merge into a single quantum being? This is the mystery of the Bose–Einstein condensate — a state of matter predicted by Einstein and Bose a century ago, first realized with ultracold atoms in the 1990s, and later extended to photons, exciton–polaritons, and other exotic systems. In this book, Boris Kriger guides the listener through the history of this extraordinary discovery — from a letter written in Calcutta to Einstein, to the Nobel-winning experiments that cooled atoms to the edge of absolute zero.

Preparing for the next pandemic means completely rethinking the medical and administrative strategies that defined the response to COVID-19. Boris Kriger, drawing on his experience as the head of a clinical research center, he argues that the world’s obsession with vaccines—while valuable—came at the cost of neglecting the urgent development of drugs that could directly suppress viral replication. Instead of focusing solely on prevention, he insists, we must invest in treatments that can swiftly weaken a virus once it has entered the body, reducing both the severity and duration of illness.

What should one do with faith when God has ceased to be living and survives only as an idea? What remains for a person when prayer no longer addresses anyone, when the Church feels like an institution, and inner seeking becomes nothing more than emptiness masquerading as depth?
