Duck and Cover, Growing Up in the Atomic Age by William C. Philips

About Duck and Cover, Growing Up in the Atomic Age by William C. Philips:

Despite the subtitle, ‘Growing up in the Atomic Age,’ Philips assures readers that the experimental radium doses he received as a child did not contribute to his growth or endow him with any superpowers…yet.

DUCK & COVER is a time machine to the Atomic Age–the reader experiences the joys, tragedies, fears, and adventures of a Baby Boomer growing up through the 1950s and onwards. But there was a downside–the threat of nuclear war. Without downplaying the seriousness of a possible atomic attack in the ’50s and early ’60s, Philips finds humor in nuclear annihilation in the titular story, “Duck and Cover.” And ultimately, the book is a memoir of not just one person but a generation. Fans of Dave Barry and Garrison Keilor will laugh (and cry) reading this humorous memoir of a bygone era.

From Beyond Our World, The Profound Message by M.G. Hawking and Heather Cantrell

About From Beyond Our World, The Profound Message by M.G. Hawking and Heather Cantrell:

Free on Amazon September 9th thru September 13th. While deep in the Great Range of the Himalaya, the author and his companions experienced three encounters with individuals they believe to have been the fabled Ri-iha-mo, the “mountain celestials” of ancient legend. Experience these extraordinary encounters for yourself and explore the profound message conveyed by the Ri-iha-mo.
Throughout the Himalayan regions of Asia, there have endured remarkable accounts of “celestial beings” who, having arrived from “another world” in an antediluvian era of prehistory, still dwell in a concealed inner region of the immense frozen fortress of the Great Range. Are these ubiquitous legends merely myths? Or are they representative of some vaguely remembered reality passed down through generations beyond count?
Absent an ember, there can be no smoke; there is a kernel of truth in all such ancient legends and they cannot be easily, or wisely, dismissed, especially in light of today’s astronomical knowledge. Current estimates of the number of planets in the known universe is 80 sextillion (an 8 with 22 zeros behind it) (JPL/Caltech, 2020).
In the largest sense, this book deals with fundamental concepts about our world as expressed to us by the Ri-iha-mo. The average person’s perceptual concepts of day-to-day “reality” do not have, nor have ever had, a fixed ontology. Multiple versions of “reality” are presented and enacted theoretically by the natural sciences, the social sciences, political science, as well as by various theologies. And those multiple ontologies clash in many profound aspects.
By shaping our understanding of the world, concepts influence not only the reality we live in, but the reality we aspire to live in. And yet, those concepts have neither given nor fixed identities, but only contested and largely precarious histories. The concepts we have so far accepted about “reality” have led us to the present global situation as well as our personal life situation, and the concepts we accept about reality will be crucial to the sort of world we will inhabit in the future.
Some valuable ideas have been suggested to study those multiple concepts of “reality”—they consider it this way: The driving question is no longer ‘what is the truth?’, but ‘what result does any given concept have in practice?’ This is a practical and effective approach. And herein lies the value of this book—the concepts explained to us by the Ri-iha-mo penetrate to a deep and perhaps most fundamental level of reality. Their concepts point to a new paradigm; of ideas, of realizations, of a profoundly deeper understanding of our world, e.g.:
“The Universe is a living thing, a cosmic unity of conscious process rather than a chaotic array of unrelated parts, as most of your species believe.” —Proci, a Celestial
Transcribed directly from the journals of explorer M.G. Hawking’s sixty-two months in the Himalayas, this book contains detailed narratives of the conversations the author and his companions had with the actual Ri-iha-mo, the legendary celestials, or “mountain goddesses,” as the Tibetan term translates. During their second and third encounters, the Ri-iha-mo disclosed extraordinary knowledge about our universe, our planet, and our true nature, wisdom that can greatly assist in understanding ourselves, our world, and our role and power in creating precisely the life we desire.
An incomparable book for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge and personal power, and deeply rewarding for those fascinated with the endless ancient accounts of extraterrestrial influences. 2021 Edition Kindle Unlimited Book, e-reader page count 320 (estimated, varies depending on the reading device used).

Prophecies of a Himalayan Sage, The Journals of Explorer M.G. Hawking

About Prophecies of a Himalayan Sage, The Journals of Explorer M.G. Hawking:

Free on Amazon September 7th and 8th. Explore the extraordinary wisdom and prophetic Insights of a true Himalayan Sage. Every thinking person recognizes that humanity is in crisis, ecologically, spiritually, and very clearly politically; in fact, any way you look at it. Theology has crumbled and political theory collapsed; technology complicates life and war; “critical race theory” and media corruption subvert truth to enthrone ignorance; religious fanaticism terrorizes citizens, inflames the world, and imperils every rational nation on our planet.
Radicalism is not alone in imperiling democracy worldwide. A spreading plague of misinformation gives rise to a corollary to Gresham’s Law (“bad money drives out good”)—misinformation pushes aside knowledge. Democracy is the most difficult of all forms of government since it requires an educated voting populace and the widest spread of undistorted information. We must not forgot to keep ourselves truthfully informed if we are to keep ourselves free and sovereign.
“At every step history teaches us how fragile and superficial a structure civilization is, and how precariously it is poised upon the apex of a never extinct volcano of oppressed barbarism, superstition, and ignorance. Modern civilization is a thin veneer superimposed upon the Middle Ages, which always remain.”
Why is this happening? And why at this point in our civilization? Are there answers to these questions?
On an extended trek in the remote Himalayas, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on an extraordinary opportunity. A series of adventures led him to an ancient Oracle Temple where he encountered a true Himalayan Sage. The author’s discussions with the savant covered a wide range of subjects, revealing a series of profound insights: “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, and 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…” —The Sage
Explore knowledge that has long remained concealed under layers of deception and secrecy. A truly incomparable book for anyone interested in the welfare of their country, their personal welfare, and that of their family. 2021 Edition Kindle Unlimited Book, e-reader page count 353 (estimated, actual count varies with the reading device).

Who Says You Can’t Go Home by B. Loren

Who Says You Can’t Go Home by B. Loren

Being an outsider is tough.
Being an outsider in your own home and not knowing why is soul-crushing.
It is isolating, painful, and confusing. Loneliness and longing are your reality. You’re consumed with guilt, self-deprecating inner dialogue, and the fear of doing even the most minor thing wrong. You spend a lot of time alone…even when you’re not. You watch a lot of TV. This is all your fault. Obviously, you are living this way because of something you did to warrant it. If they beat you, you deserved it. If they punish you, you asked for it. You never want to go home, but you don’t have a choice because you’ve never had a choice.
This is it.
This is what you have.
This is all you know.
And yet, you still smile when you sometimes catch a glimpse of the sweeter things and treasure the slightest kindness. You know life isn’t supposed to be like this, but it is. Your life is like a bubble of poison gas that could burst at any moment…you know that. You live that. But how are you supposed to make sense of any of this? How do you make it stop? You can’t. You are powerless. You haven’t even reached kindergarten yet.
From a severely abusive childhood in the inner city of Baltimore, a string of unsatisfying relationships, and several broken marriages, to a six-figure income from the multi-million-dollar business I built out of my home, this is my story in my own words. I was stolen as a baby when my mother died. I was lied to by my kidnapper and used as a Cinderella punching bag by his never-ending parade of “step-mothers” and girlfriends, and much worse when he didn’t have one.
This memoir covers the good, the bad, and the ugly. As this story unfolds, I hope the reader will discover a little girl who survived that abusive childhood, healed and empowered herself through discipline and hard work. I hope you see a girl who became a woman who learned from her mistakes and a whole human being who loves her newfound family with all her heart. I am no longer an outsider. I can go home now.

***The book was edited and reorganized because while it was being published, Jim and I were in the middle of moving to Surfside Beach, South Carolina, and he had COVID. I sent it to be published without the proper due diligence of proofreading it.
As time passed, I found that I was not happy with the work being out of order, so I invested my time into improving it. I truly hope it’s a better read now, and I honestly hope that the readers find something worthwhile in reading it.***

Secrets of the Ancient World, Shangri-La: The Himalayan Journals of M.G. Hawking

About Secrets of the Ancient World, Shangri-La: The Himalayan Journals of M.G. Hawking:

Free on Amazon August 27th thru August 31st. Explore the first modern account of the reality of an extraordinary legend that has endured from the very threshold of history, the Fabled Lost World of Shangri-La. First depicted in the novel ‘Lost Horizon’ (Hilton, 1933), the concept for Shangri-La was inspired by the legends of Shambhala that are so prevalent in the ancient wisdom traditions of cultures throughout the Himalayan regions of Asia and beyond.
Scholars relate that the 4000 year-old scriptures of the pre-Tibetan Zhang Zhung culture are the earliest extant references to this mysterious realm, yet it is represented in a wide range of ancient texts: the pre-Buddhist B’on writings, the Kalki lore, the Puranas, in the earliest texts of the Kalachakra Laghutantra (c. 500 BC), and in the even more ancient Kalachakra Mulatantra (c. 900 BC). The Zhang Zhung and Tibetan scriptures refer to the hidden sanctuary as Shambhala I lam-yig, B’on treaties as Olmolungring, Hindu histories as Aryavarth, Chinese as Hsi Tien, and Russian traditions as Belovoyde. In the Western world, it has of course become best known as Shambhala, Shamballa, or Shangri-La.
On an extended trek in a closed and largely unexplored inner region of the majestic Himalayan wilderness, in an isolated valley surrounded by vast snow fields and towering ice peaks, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on a beautiful small village where he encountered remarkable men and women, introduced to him as “masters” and “adepts.”
Our team at Wisdom Masters Press has worked diligently to compose a series of books based on Hawking’s records of his sixty-two months in that remote region of the Himalayas. This was a complex assignment; Hawking had accumulated hundreds upon hundreds of pages of hand-written journal notes and field notes, all of which had to be sorted, cataloged, and organized in a manner conducive to producing books from such a treasury of material. Yet it was a fascinating if formidable task, one which so often filled us with a deep sense of wonder and inspiration.
This book, the passage to Shangri-La, contains an anthology drawn from both the primary series and the companion volumes. These anthological narratives contain detailed accounts of Hawking’s various experiences and conversations, including first-hand accounts of the psychokinetic abilities he witnessed and in-depth descriptions of his discussions with the masters and sages, revealing the esoteric knowledge that made such extraordinary abilities possible.
A truly incomparable book for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge, and notably fascinating for anyone interested in exploring the realities underlying the ancient legends of Shangri-La. 2020 Edition, a Kindle Unlimited Book, e-reader page count 257 (estimated, varies with the reading device used).

Finding Shambhala: In The Valley of Supreme Masters, from the Journals of M.G. Hawking

About Finding Shambhala: In The Valley of Supreme Masters, from the Journals of M.G. Hawking:

Free on Amazon August 3rd and 4th. Journey into the world of a profound legend through this unprecedented first-hand account to explore a reality that for millenniums has remained concealed under layers of myth and secrecy.
Rarely has the world been so enduringly fascinated by an ancient legend as it has with the historically ubiquitous stories of Shambhala, the fabled hidden sanctuary of highly enlightened sages deep in the immense frozen fortress of the Great Range of the Himalaya.
Years ago, on an extended trek into a closed and largely unexplored inner region of that vast wilderness, in an isolated valley surrounded by towering ice peaks, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on a beautiful small village where he encountered extraordinary men and women, introduced to him as “masters” and “adepts.”
The team at Wisdom Masters Press has composed a series of books based on Hawking’s journals of his experiences in a remote area of the Himalayas. This was a complex project; during his sixty-two months in those regions, Hawking accumulated many hundreds of pages of hand-written journal entries and field notes, all of which had to be sorted, cataloged, indexed, and organized in a manner conducive to producing books from such a treasury of material. It was a fascinating if formidable task, one which so often filled us with a deep sense of wonder and inspiration.
“The more developed the individual consciousness the more persistently it will seek its true source, like a child strayed from its parent, or a wanderer longing for home. If it is capable of patient study and meditation, it may find the ladder down which it came, and will climb back to its heights.” —Himalayan Master R.K.

The Light in the Himalayas, Chronicles of Discovery by M.G. Hawking

About The Light in the Himalayas, Chronicles of Discovery by M.G. Hawking:

Free on Amazon July 31st and August 1st. Explore the discovery of a mysterious world hidden deep in the wilderness of the Great Himalayan Range. On an extended trek into a closed and largely unexplored inner region of the majestic frozen fortress of the Himalayas, in an isolated valley surrounded by vast snow fields and towering ice peaks, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on a beautiful small village where he encountered extraordinary men and women possessed of wisdom and abilities virtually unknown to the Western world.
This book contains detailed narratives of Hawking’s experiences, including first-hand accounts of the psychokinetic abilities he witnessed and in-depth descriptions of his discussions with the sages he met, revealing the esoteric knowledge that made such extraordinary abilities possible.
Scholars relate that the first mention of this fabled realm appears in the scriptures of the pre-Tibetan Zhang Zhung culture which arose some 4000 years ago on the remote Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Compelling references continue through the millennia in numerous esoteric texts: the sacred B’on treatises, manuscripts of the Kalki lore, the Puranas, the earliest texts of the Kalachakra Laghutantra, in the even older Kalachakra Mulatantra (c. 900 BC), and in the ancient wisdom traditions of civilizations throughout the Himalayan regions of Asia and beyond.
The Zhang Zhung and Tibetan scriptures refer to the mysterious world as Shambhala I lam-yig, B’on treaties as Olmolungring, Hindu histories as Aryavarth, Chinese as Hsi Tien, and Russian traditions as Belovoyde. In an esoteric treatise composed in the early 1500s by Ensapa Lobsang Döndrup, the Third Panchen Lama describes his remarkable visit to a land of wise masters hidden deep in the Himalayas. A rare manuscript written in 1592 by Antonio Monserrate, a Spanish missionary to the court of the Mughal emperor Akbar, speaks of his experiences in a remote valley in the high mountains where great sages reside. A remarkably similar account is found as recently as the late 1700s, written by the esteemed Sixth Panchen Lama, Lobsang Palden Yeshe.
From the Publisher: Our team at Wisdom Masters Press has worked to compose a series of books based on the records explorer M.G. Hawking kept during his five years in remote regions of the Himalayas.

Sweeping in an immense arc across South Asia is the Great Himalayan Range, an uninterrupted 1,500 mile crescent of mountains with over 110 peaks rising to elevations of 25,000 feet or more. Extending from Kashmir’s 26,600 foot Naga Parbat through Tibet’s 25,445 foot Namcha Barwa, the vast frozen fortress of the Himalaya cradles the most isolated areas of Earth’s landmass. Yawning gorges as deep as 16,000 feet and ice peaks towering over five miles high shelter remote, lushly forested valleys.
For thousands of years, the largely inaccessible inner portion of this wilderness has been known in esoteric literature as the Great White Island, and has inspired countless stories and legends that it conceals a kingdom of great masters possessed of transcendent wisdom and power.
Years ago, on an extended trek into the remote inner range of the Himalaya, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on a small valley deep in the wilderness. Surrounded by towering ice peaks, he encountered a beautiful village, a mysterious realm referred to by its residents as Siddhalaya. Siddha, in Sanskrit, denotes a high adept or master; alaya means the abode of—for Siddhalaya is said to be the ‘Village of the Masters.’
Hawking’s discovery marked the beginning of a series of extraordinary encounters and experiences. In that isolated community he had the privilege of meeting a number of remarkable men and women—introduced to him as ‘masters’ and ‘sages’—possessed of wisdom, knowledge and power virtually unknown in the Western world.
Transcribed directly from the journals and field notes Hawking recorded of his encounters with these sages, this book contains detailed narratives of his experiences and conversations, providing detailed, first-hand accounts of their esoteric knowledge and power.
