Interview with an Oracle, Profound Revelations about Our World by M.G. Hawking

About Interview with an Oracle, Profound Revelations about Our World by M.G. Hawking:

Free on Amazon 3/12 – 3/14/19. If you’re concerned about the current state of the world, the political turmoil in our country, the future of our country, and the future of Western civilization, this book is an important read.
The revelations in this book came because a thousand voices called for them, and for good reason. Theology has crumbled and political theory collapsed; technology complicates life and war; “political correctness” subverts truth to enthrone ignorance; the transformation of mainstream journalism into agenda-driven propaganda obliterates facts and conceals realities; religious fanaticism infiltrates governments, terrorizes citizens, inflames the world, and imperils every rational nation on our planet.
In this unprecedented account, while trekking in a remote region of the Himalayan mountains, explorer M.G. Hawking encountered an ancient Oracle Temple in the highlands of Tibet where he met with a true shamanistic Oracle of the esoteric B’on tradition. Hawking’s discussions with the Oracle revealed a profound series of insights and revelations about our country and the condition of our world’s civilizations.
A brief excerpt of the Oracle’s comments: “In your country what was once a government of reason and law has been replaced by a tyranny of men. The sovereignty of the people has become a sovereignty of manipulators, politicians as conscious agents of a great deception, the power of which dements even more than it corrupts. Your society is divided into a tiny group of men who choose and decide, a small number of others who know far less and decide nothing yet wield power in conformity with the hidden policies—those who gather in your congress to go through the motions of democracy’s ghost—and the masses, compelled to act and live absent a true comprehension of the manipulation of their lives.” Author’s note: “As the Oracle expressed this, there was no trace of mocking or bitterness in his voice, only a certain weariness, a calm acceptance of what is.”
An extraordinary narrative that is compelling, entertaining, and thought provoking, this book will impact you, engender discussions, and linger in your thoughts long after the last words have been read. 2019 Second Edition, Kindle e-reader page count 296 (estimated, actual count varies depending on the reading device used). A Kindle Unlimited Book. Includes Reference Citations and Associated Material Anthology. For more information, please see the ‘Look Inside’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.

90 Days to Live

About 90 Days to Live:

What if you were told you had 90 days to live?
For Rodney and Paige Stamps, Rodney’s “out-of-the-blue” cancer diagnosis quickly turned a normally hypothetical question horribly real.

When Paige met Rodney, a nationally touring heavy-metal drummer, they both fell hard. Rodney soon swapped his drumsticks for marriage, family, a job, and then, his own business.

The ’90-Days’ diagnosis hit just as their business was starting to soar.
“You’re going to die” was the solemn verdict from numerous MDs, who promised only to briefly extend Rodney’s life with chemotherapy. With both a growing family and business, and so much living still to do, Rodney’s response to the no-hope prognosis? “I don’t think so.”

90 Days to Live recounts the Stamps’ incredible and inspirational journey to find an alternative “answer to cancer” In the end..

They’d beaten the cancer and built a million dollar business.
While his weight dropped from 190 to 138 lbs., Rodney and Paige explored countless cancer “cures” of widely varying value. They even exposed a scam treatment being peddled by a mob boss–crossing paths with the FDA and FBI, and ended up on International News!

Alternately heart-wrenching and heartwarming–and delivered in an engaging dual-author format–90 Days to Live will speak to anyone struggling with an “incurable” disease, building a business under trying circumstances, or anyone who just loves a good old-fashioned, “beating-the-odds” story.

Stories of the Mother Bear

About Stories of the Mother Bear:

In Jackson, Wyoming, 1977, a cache is discovered in the attic of a deceased man’s home containing letters and diaries spanning two centuries. The newspaper report of the unusual contents confirms a vision a journalist experienced 23 years earlier as a 9-year-old boy on a camping trip in Grand Teton National Park.
Learning his memories of a mother grizzly bear who transforms the lives of the humans who cross her path were not imaginary after all, Chicago Sun-Times reporter Bill Larkin sets out in search of why he is among the chosen. Wrestling with his dread of the force driving him, Bill hears that same compelling voice caution him against turning back and losing his spiritual calling. As he pieces each story, letter and entry together, the common thread eludes him: until a Native-American elder counsels him to seek the rest of the answers within himself.
Stories of the Mother Bear, a literary fiction/fantasy memoir woven around historical events, begins in Omaha, where, as a student journalist, Bill’s near-idyllic 1950s childhood is shattered by the Vietnam War era. Years later, married with four children, Bill returns to Jackson Hole. He learns the deceased, Rufus Headrick, and his family were black cowboys. Rufus’ grandfather, Elias, a freed slave, kept a journal from his days as a Texas cattle hand through the family’s ever-westward travels to Teton before it became a national park.
Portrayed in Elias’ journal is a large, engraved brass key his son received from a Kiowa youth he met along the Chisholm Trail in exchange for his pocket watch. The key is yet to be found. Who is the estate’s rightful heir? And what connection does the Headrick Family have with the Mother Bear?

The Path of Leashed Resistance: The Buddy System by Beth Hading-Yostlot

About The Path of Leashed Resistance: The Buddy System by Beth Hading-Yostlot:

This book is a hilarious and heartbreaking look into the life of a family that fell into canine rescue completely by accident, but now lives to protect and care for their dogs absolutely on purpose. A great read for anyone who loves dogs!

When Robert and Beth Hading-Yostlot rescued Buddy Lee, they had no idea what they had started. How one dog would spark such compassion in them for mistreated and abandoned animals. But that spark turned into a blazing fire that burned brighter and hotter than they could have ever imagined.

Fueled by destroyed furniture, food follies, bizarre accidents, and near death experiences, the fire spread to every corner of their lives. They experienced both the pleasure of seeing unloved and damaged dogs be made whole and healed by the love of a family and the love of other amazing dogs, as well as the hardships of having to make such great sacrifices to give them what they needed to grow in strength and joy.

They also experienced the happiness of watching a dogs spirit be lit up by life, along with heartbreak when it was extinguished by death.

Forty-plus dogs later, they’re still living a life dedicated to canine rescue and what it means to live by the Buddy System.

Deep in the immense wilderness of the Himalayas, surrounded by towering ice peaks, explorer M.G. Hawking has an encounter that sheds light on this fascinating question, an experience that illuminates the secrets of life.
In recent times, profound discoveries in the field of quantum physics have greatly enlarged our understanding of our world, consciousness, and the true nature of reality.
“Quantum physics reveals a basic oneness of the universe. Multiplicity is only apparent; in truth, there is only one mind.” —Erwin Schrödinger, Nobel Laureate
“All matter originates and exists only by virtue of the existence of consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness. The mind is the matrix of all matter.” —Max Planck, Nobel Laureate
The same fundamental concept has been expressed by Eastern mystics and sages since the dawn of history, the philosophy of one mind, of the one-consciousness present in all things. Is the experience of enlightenment the direct experience of this one mind? If so, what does it reveal?
