Here comes the woman With the look in her eye, Raised on leather With flesh on her mind, Words as weapons sharper than knives, Makes you wonder how the other half dies.
Here come the man With the look in his eye, Fed on nothing But full of pride. Look at them go, Look at them kick, Makes you wonder how the other half lives.
The devil inside... The devil inside... Every single one of us the devil inside.
The devil inside... The devil inside... Every single one of us the devil inside.
Here comes the world With the look in its eye, Future uncertain but certainly slight. Look at the faces, Listen to the bells, It's hard to believe we need a place called hell.
Until now, I had to store my handful of audiobooks in my Kodi music library since it wasn't possible to add them to Calibre alongside my other books, which wasn't very convenient not to have everything in the same place. Especially when you have the same audiobooks in other formats (digital or hard copies). But now, that's ancient history since Calibre's developer Kovid Goyal finally has implemented this missing functionality.
How to Add Your Audiobooks to Calibre
Click on Add books - Add Empty Book (CTRL+MAJ+E).
Thereupon you need to enter the number of books you wish to add, author's name, series title and book title (these options are especially helpful if you had a whole series or collection of books by a same author and wish to save the trouble of manually filling in these fields for each book) then click OK to valid.
Your book is now displayed in the cover browser (or list depending of how you have configured Calibre to look like) and you may fill in the missing information by clicking on Edit metadata individually and proceed as you would for ebooks.
Once done with the metadata, click on Add Books - Add data files to selected book entries then select all the audiofiles of your audiobook folder and click OK.
Select your book again and right click to Open Book Folder - Open Book Data Folder.
In the data folder where Calibre has previously copied all your book audio files, select all files and open them with your media player to create a m3u playlist which you may save in a temporary folder.
Back to Calibre, Edit metadata individually then Add new format for this book and select the m3u playlist you've just created with your media player and click OK.
You will now be able to play your audiobook by clicking on this format in the book details as you do for ebooks.
NOTE: Same as for ebooks, you may delete original audio files and playlist as Calibre has copied them all in its library.
A New Easier Way to Catalog Your Printed Books in Calibre
Six months ago, I explained how to add printed books to Calibre by creating as many dummy TXT files, which was quite a tedious task. Now there's a much easier and quicker way to do that as we saw while adding audiobooks since all you need to do is Add books - Add Empty Book then edit metadata as previoulsy explained.
If you've used my old method, you may delete the dummy text files using unneccessary space on your hard disk by selecting your books and Delete specific format files for selected books.
Thereupon a list of format will be displayed according to what's available in your selection of books. Just tick TXT then OK and you're done.
NOTE: If you have books both in paper or digital format, no need to create several entries for the same books. Instead create customized columns for printed book formats which you may then fill in manually where applicable. I have also added a field for audiobook length.
This piece wrote itself effortlessly as a response to an excerpt from Tao someone posted on Instagram and I felt I had to share as a video.

Daily introspection brings harmony to all our facets. Those aspects that are bad can be dissolved. Those that are of advantage can be cultivated. This effort will take many years, but in this gradual way, we resolve ourselves with our subconscious mind and free ourselves from struggle and conflict.
365 Tao
I'm a billion per cent okay with that however something must have been missed for many seeing NOT judging — please note the difference — where they place their support and actions.
In the end, denial and disclaiming labels won't stop the Truth from tearing down the veil of illusion. That's when each one of us will know how much unity they've achieved within.
I don't rule myself out of it as I'm aware there are still many things I have trouble accepting that are creating denial and false beliefs within, mostly at personal level.
This is the most important thing you can do for yourself and for the world. And also the most dangerous thing for those who benefit from human beings to be torn within to keep ruling the world.
It's not about being right or wrong, it's just about realising we're not our ego. Our ego is a tool that keeps us in survival mode even when we're not in danger.
By conditioning our egos to feel threatened all the time, you get a humanity surviving NOT living and disconnected from their True Self. That's how self-proclaimed elites, stars, or whatever they call themselves, decide who is valuable, who is not, and so on.
Our true core is at the level of our heart — not the blood pump nor romantic heart, but Anahata chakra which is the bridge connecting our lower chakras dealing with earth matters and our higher chakras dealing with heaven and spirit.
Our head is just a periscope of which our ego/mind is the pilot. It only understands words and needs a database of experiences and learned knowledge to function. Unlike our heart which is from where our multi-dimensional True Self operates and where we get inspiration, wisdom, connection with the divine/universe and all the stuff we call "spirituality".
This is where we get gut feelings, knowing without thinking. So that's from there (without thinking but deeply feeling) that we need to do the above mentioned work.
That's the place where we cannot get sad nor depressed or angry or over excited. That's where we can find the way out, the light, the grail or whatever you call the balance that every single one of us has to find.
Some of us are not ready. They're just doing their best. That's the most important.
I would end wishing everyone to find their way home (home as the heart centre).
This is not selfish as you've been misled to believe. This is actually the greatest act of love for we are all One. Loving self equals loving all others.
