Ever wondered how to really heal from traumatic events from your past? Ever asked yourself why you keep repeating and reliving old hurts from the past over and over again? Do you know how to really deal with all the negative memories, thoughts, and feelings that cloud your brain and affect your ability to be truly at peace? Do you want to start unpacking your "stuff "? Do you want to really be okay when telling people that you are okay? Engaging in deep and probing conversations with yourself is vital to starting this process. You will need to be completely raw, honest, transparent, and vulnerable with yourself. If you are depressed, angry, anxious, or afraid, these emotions are coming from the root of the problem, and you need to know who and/or what that is. If you have not healed from the past, it stays locked in your subconscious and has the power to affect your peace and, if triggered, your future well-being. If it's in your head, then it is always with you, and it is no longer your past but your present. Learn how to live in the present. Learn how to facilitate peace. Decide if you want to live as you are now or the peaceful and content person you have always wanted to be. Let's start the conversation. Waiver: This book should not be used in lieu of mental health therapy. This conversation has been provided to help you start the journey of healing from your trauma.
Love is broken and twisted. But it's also the only thing worth anything in this world. To find it in its purest form is nothing short of a miracle. Everything we do, everything we are, love is at the center of it all.
It is my sincere desire in this writing to somehow inspire action by those who read it. At this writing, our nation teeters on the edge of a knife. Elements of destruction from within, I feel, have never been so strong in America's history. We are, I fear, one step from losing the rights and freedoms provided to us by our Founding Fathers. I see the very fabric of our constitution under attack by a government where all power lies in the coercive efforts of the few or just one! This situation should scare any red-blooded American and stir up a righteous anger toward it. Are we to become a nation run by despotic rulers, where the common man is just a subject or a country of nation-states similar to that of old Europe, where we are red versus blue? May God forbid!Here I will attempt to give justice to the subjects covered. My goal is not just to state facts and figures, although these are included, but to draw out and put forward the wisdom of those great men and women who founded this country and wrote its governing edicts. I have found that seldom will a person take the time and put forth the effort to investigate for themselves what really is the truth. I am not judging here, as I was guilty of the same problem. But what I have found out over the years since I took charge of my own inputs is, truth is truth and can never be untruth, no matter what the subject.When I look at our great nation today, I wonder if what it has to offer those who immigrate to it has not diminished. Is there truly an offering of real freedoms, rights, and opportunities, or is this just smoke and mirrors, with the reality being that our nation is headed toward the problems that many are trying to get away from? America is quickly losing its grip on the constitutional framework it was built upon. Our freedoms demand that we all do our part to reestablish it.The question remains: Will complacency prevail, or will America wake up? Choose!

Soleimani's successor, Abdul Reza Sasani's motives are suspect.

As a young intelligence officer in Iraq, he orchestrated the Iranian IED campaign that resulted in many hundreds of US casualties. He was also instrumental in the attack on the Karbala Communication Compound that led to the death of several US military and CIA personnel. CIA operator David James "D. J." Dixon has been hunting Falahian ever since.The assassination attempt on the Saudi ambassador is not the only threat facing the FBI's National Joint Terrorism Task Force.

This book is a collection of poems written over the span of several years, including my time at a group home and a juvenile detention center. The contents are meant to, as the title suggests, tell my story, describe my struggle through mental and physical health problems, and be a starting point for my eventual and overall success in life. Feeling physically stuck due to health problems, weighed down from the expectations of others, battles with faith, and the simple consistency of the question why--these are all things I may encounter in a single day. It is also meant to show others struggling with depression, anger, trauma, or any sort of mental health difficulties know that they are not alone, that whatever they are going through can be overcome, and that regardless of their struggles, they all have potential for success. This book and the poems within show a broad range of emotions that I have personally experienced throughout my life. These emotions range from despair, numbness, depression, anxiety, anger, and fear, to love and joy. This book encompasses my struggles as a person and my view on the world and the things in it. I believe this book has the potential to save and change lives, as well as to be the starting point for change and positivity in my life and yours. Fulton Books and my family have both given me a chance to tell my story to the world. Now it's time that I must ask, will you?

The writings in my life's journey are an examination of events with some of the people, places, and experiences I remembered, fitting them together and appreciating how they influenced who I was. So much time, choices--good and bad--mistakes, failures, and achievements.I had difficulty concentrating and retaining data in school, until I started taking private music lessons my first year in high school. I was learning to study and memorize music, which started to carry over into my high school classes. My life through graduation was disjointed, but I was making progress and retaining minimal data to enter engineering studies. I struggled through college and upon graduation with my BSEE, was on to a fifty-year professional career. My career gave me freedom of choice in engineering and marketing, both domestic and international.As you follow my path, you will see that I essentially learned to make choices based on data and conditions, void of impulse. Many times, I had no choice, confronted with unanticipated events. But even then, I would stop, analyze, and attempt some acceptable outcome. My decision to study engineering and complete my degree lacked any preparation or plan. I was strapped with financial burdens and changing work conditions, which I did not manage well. On top of this, I needed to live and grow personally with a philosophy for life, continued music studies, art and culture, and social development. Plus there was the added pressures of the selective service to be considered.If you have the opportunity, before you start a life's goal, make a plan with reasonable milestones, allowing for unforeseen events. If it takes years, allow for your being a human being, and if you require a companion, find one who will share your life in a loose relationship with love and respect, where you both understand it is not forever. No controls. Conflicts are not what you require in life.If you are lucky and have a memory where you remember almost everything, enjoy it!

This book is the fruit of a dissertation which seeks to get beyond the impasse in the modern interpretation of the "Sign-Jonah" Traditions by building upon the achieved results of previous studies (both diachronic and synchronic) examining some Jewish Writings from Second Temple Judaism (the historical ambience of the Synoptic tradition), engaging recently refined concepts and methods of literary-narrative analyses such as the use of synkrisis and utilizing the revised understanding of typology in examining the specific role of Jonah in Luke's Christology. Applying the redactional-critical approach, typological exegesis, and literary (narrative) analysis, it examines three specific questions: (1) what the appropriate "image" of Jonah in Second Temple Judaism (historical) is, (2) what the specific form of the "Sign-Jonah" saying in the gospel narratives (literary) is, and (3) how Jonah's figure contribute to Lucan Christology (theological). The entire study concludes with some revealing elements which shed light on the questions which underpin the dissertation: (1) Jonah's figure was replete and frequently invoked in Second Temple Judaism (his fish ordeal, preaching in Nineveh, death experience, considered as sign, commonplace recourse in crisis situation); and (2) "Sign-Jonah" and "Solomon-Queen" traditions (pieced together with the Beelzebul controversy) are interwoven in narration to make a syncretic-typological correlation between Jesus and Jonah (prophetic character in person and activity) and bring a clear definition to the enigmatic logion to semeion Iona; 3). Jonah's figure, in the context of Luke's Christology, serves as an element of both continuity (consistency with OT tradition) and discontinuity (redefinition--Jesus is the fulfillment and plenitude of OT tradition).
Humanity has found a new place to live...which is already taken. Inhabited by tangible gods and life abounding, they have etched their place onto Enrea by becoming servants of the Eidolons--the essences of energy--and have started anew without the problems that led to our departure from Earth. That isn't to say Enrea is without problems. Monstrous animals, societal hesitations, and the fleeting knowledge of the past loom over life on the planet. Shadows of the history of the Eidolons come back to haunt them, but even the gods do not know what led them to the current day.Will the gods save them? Will some brave leader step up when society threatens to crumble? Will we get some unknown hero that is overpowered in every way to save the day? No. You don't plan for these things. What could go wrong?

This book, in essence, sets forth a vision and plan that will impact lives with "everlasting community power" throughout Texas, no matter the zip code, by crafting two investment instruments, and using county-citizenry education as the vehicle, for every county; an academic skills fund to invest in primary and secondary pupils to build strong academic foundations, and a county skills fund to ensure relevant post-secondary skilled training to maintain adult productivity, henceforth. These unique community financial investments are designed to pass through homeowners, landowners, and buy-in citizens, to restore or return reciprocity in our "new" system of governance for millennia, to come.
