Books: “Black Genesis” and “The Occult Sylvia Plath”
Relegated to the realm of archaeological heresy, despite a wealth of hard scientific evidence, the theory that an advanced civilization of black Africans settled in the Sahara long before Pharaonic Egypt existed has been dismissed and even condemned by conventional Egyptologists, archaeologists, and the Egyptian government. Uncovering compelling new evidence, Egyptologist Robert Bauval and astrophysicist Thomas Brophy present the anthropological, climatological, archaeological, geological, and genetic research supporting this hugely debated theory of the black African origin of Egyptian civilization.

Sharing her more than 15 years of compelling research—including analysis of Sylvia Plath’s unpublished calendars, notebooks, scrapbooks, book annotations, and underlinings as well as published memoirs, biographies, letters, journals, and interviews with Plath and her husband, friends, and family—Plath scholar Julia Gordon-Bramer reveals Sylvia Plath’s enduring interest and active practice in mysticism and the occult from childhood until her tragic death in 1963.

The Physics of Miraculous Healing: How Emotion, Mind, and Spirit Enable Unlimited Self-Healing
Joseph Selbie
No disease is incurable. Extraordinarily rapid, miraculous healing is possible.
During a near-death experience, an end-stage terminal cancer patient with hours to live had a profound, emotionally transformative experience in which she let go of all fear—she rallied and became cancer free in a few short weeks. Brain scans revealed that a multiple-personality sufferer becomes physically blind in only one of ten personalities—when a new personality emerges, her sight returns. A devout woman, body twisted, wasted, and brought to the brink of death by sixteen years of multiple sclerosis, heard a Voice, stood up, and walked—she was completely healed in minutes.
Modern physics, not medicine, can explain extraordinary healing.
Despite the fact that these and thousands of similarly amazing cases have been medically verified, most doctors and, indeed, most people believe that such cases simply cannot be true because the science underlying modern medicine doesn’t provide any explanation for how such extraordinarily rapid physical change could be possible. Medicine’s underlying science, however, has changed little despite nearly a hundred years of breakthroughs in physics—such as matter-energy equivalence, nonlocality, and the holographic principle—breakthroughs that do provide scientific explanations for these cases.
You have innate soul powers for self-healing.
Modern physics’ breakthroughs—along with scientifically verified phenomena such as the placebo effect and the widely studied negative impact of fear, anger, and depression on health—support millennia old spiritual traditions that suggest that not only is extraordinary, miraculous healing possible, but that we have innate soul powers—our emotions, personal beliefs, and our ability to connect to Spirit—that directly and powerfully determineour health and ability to self-heal.
You can take charge of your health.
Modern medicine’s outdated science gives us a limited view of health and healing that puts uncontrollable influences, genes and disease, in charge of our health. Modern physics and experiential spiritual traditions give us an unlimited view of health and healing that puts controllable influences, emotion, belief, and connection to Spirit, in charge.
You can self-heal from serious, even terminal, disease.
Our soul powers can be methodically used to develop resilient health and to increase our ability to self-heal from serious, even terminal, disease. In this book you will find many practical ways to awaken and strengthen positive emotion, increase your life force, develop health-creating beliefs, and make a transformative connection to Spirit. Practices and techniques meditation, deep relaxation, affirmation, energization, concentration, and more.
The Physics of Miraculous Healing is a companion to Selbie’s Amazon Best-Sellers, The Physics of God and Break Through the Limits of the Brain . These books are bridges of understanding between the modern evidenced-based discoveries of science and the timeless experience-based discoveries of the mystics.

Word-Built World: ohana
ʻOhana is a Hawaiian word that means “family” in an extended sense, including blood-related, adoptive, or intentional family. It can also refer to close friends and associates. The term is cognate with the Māori word kōhanga, which means “nest”. The root word ʻohā refers to the taro plant’s root or corm, which Kanaka Maoli consider to be their cosmological ancestor.
ʻOhana is a Hawaiian value that emphasizes stronger relationships and a familial bond that includes a sense of loyalty, support, compassion, and love. It’s a reminder that no one gets left behind or forgotten. Some say that being invited into an ʻohana is like being given a key to the heart of Hawaii, and that it comes with a responsibility to care for the islands as if they were your own.
In contemporary Hawaiian real estate, an ʻohana unit is a type of secondary suite that may be part of a house or a separate structure on the same lot. It may contain a relative but may not be rented to the general public.

Lincoln on finding the bad in other people

“Those who look for the bad in people will surely find it.”
― Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln (Febraury 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was an American lawyer, politician, and statesman who served as the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. Wikipedia

Weekly Invitational Translation: My father used to threaten to box my ears.
Translation is a 5-step process of “straight thinking in the abstract” comparing and contrasting what you think is the truth with what you can syllogistically, axiomatically and mathematically (using word equations) prove is the truth.
The claims in a Translation may seem outrageous, but they are always (or should always be) based on self-evident syllogistic reasoning. Here is one Translation from this week.
1) Truth is that which is so. That which is not truth is not so. Therefore Truth is all that is. Truth being all is therefore total, therefore whole, therefore complete, therefore one, therefore united, therefore harmonious, therefore orderly. I think therefore I am. Since I am and since Truth is al that is, therefore I am Truth. Since I am Truth therefore I have all the attributes of Truth. Therefore I, being, am all, total, whole, complete, one, united, harmonious, orderly. Since I am Truth and since I am mind/consciousness, therefore Truth is Mind/Consciousness. (Two things being equal to a third hting are equal to each other.)
2) My father used to threaten to box my ears.
Word-tracking:
father: parent, patriarch, to give birth
birth: beginning
threaten: to crowd out, to press incrowd: to push or shove, to rpess against, bo put weight against
box: to strike, cuff the ear
ear: organ of hearing
hearing; awareness
3) Truth being consciousness is therefore awareness. Truth being all that is and Truth being awareness, therefore awareness is all that is. Since hearing is another way to say consciousness. Therefore Truth is all hearing. Since Truth is all hearing and since truth has no other, therefore there is nothing which can interfere with the all-hearing/all-awareness of Truth. Since Truth is one and since to strike or box implies something other than one, therefore there is no striking or boxing in Truth. Since there is no striking or boxing in Truth, there is no threatening or crowding or pressing in in Truth. Therefore Truth is non-violent totality, roomy and relaxed. Truth being all is therefore limitless. Therefore there is no beginning or ending in Truth. Since there is no beginning or ending in Truth there is no birth or death in truth. Since there is no birth in Truth, there is no parenting in Truth. Therefore Truth ie Self-creating and Self-created.
4) Awareness is all that is.
Truth is all hearing.
There is nothing which can interfere with the all-hearing/all-awareness of Truth.
There is no striking or boxing in truth
Truth is non-violent totality, roomy and relaxed.
There is no beginning or ending in Truth.
There is no birth or death in truth.
Truth ie Self-creating and Self-created.
5) Truth is Self-created infinite awareness, roomy, relaxed and totally safe.
