Life's Meaning Revealed

Life's Meaning Revealed

Raymond J Brune

Independently Published
2017
pokkari
A universal and inspiring story of one man's awakening to a secret, spectacular and spiritual word teeming with life all around him after decades asleep in the cradle of Christianity. Internationally-recognized television producer Raymond J Brune thought he had learned all of life's lessons - including the very meaning of life. But when a spiky-haired, classy & brassy British gal who just happened to talk to dead people came onto his radar, his entire belief system was thrown into chaos. As Ray went about transforming medium/clairvoyant Lisa Williams into the eighth wonder of the world via her hit Lifetime TV show, "Life Among The Dead", he was forced to come to grips with his own reality - one that was denying him an escape to enlightenment. "Life's Meaning Revealed" details Ray's unique and often humorous journey in search of a "new God" amid all the karmic clutter of a Catholic upbringing. Coming face-to-face with the dead, the reincarnated, tortured souls, alien abductors, and a parade of living, dead and multi-dimensional mentors he was destined to meet, Ray recounts how he found his faith - in a brutally honest, irreverant and sometimes snarky way only he could put to paper. His illumination is a must-read for any restless soul aching to evolve.

Lessons Learned Over Time Lessons of a Different Kind I am Marion Simpson Golarz. Yes, that is my name on the cover of this book preceded by the word "with". The with is fairly accurate because for many years now I have been a back-seat driver, sparing partner, and even a co-pilot during Ray's career as a teacher, criminal justice director, administrator, university instructor, keynote speaker, and author. Before we were married he warned me that life would not follow a straight path. Little did I know. Life certainly has not, but it's always been enriching. I am particularly fond of this new book for it has been in process for over thirty years, beginning with the first stories Ray created and told as he began his keynoting career. I was often in the audience then and loved to see the joy and comfort these stories brought to so many from all walks of life. During that same time I watched him struggle with profoundly overwhelming challenges as he attempted to bring aid and comfort to some of our neediest fellow men while he headed up criminal justice efforts. I watched him win and lose battles with out-of-date and erroneous theories about how to support, acknowledge, and encourage teachers and law enforcement officers, how to counter prejudice and racism, and how everyone should continue to reach for the sky. And that's what these stories reveal. You will laugh, cry, sigh, question, and have more than one "aha" moment as you work your way through this latest expanded edition, a story at a time. In this new book, you won't find strategies to improve standardized test scores, or data-driven solutions. But, if you are looking for inspiration you have picked up the right book. By the way, there are also some very good belly-laughs in these pages so enjoy them.

This is a book of powerful short stories. Virtually all of them reveal an emotion filled unforgettable time in the life of a child, teacher, or caregiver.

These addresses routinely brought standing ovations for the stories contained within always touched, in a very gentle and humane way, the struggles, successes, and sensitivities that exist in us all.

Finally, as you complete your journey through these pages you will find that while reading you have been holding hands with the power of believing in self, believing in others, and the power of community. You will not walk away from this book untouched. Its warm and rich stories will stay with you for years to come.
It's Only a Movie!

It's Only a Movie!

Raymond J. Haberski

Once derided as senseless entertainment, movies have gradually assumed a place among the arts. Raymond Haberski's provocative and insightful book traces the trajectory of this evolution throughout the twentieth century, from nickelodeon amusements to the age of the financial blockbuster. Haberski begins by looking at the barriers to film's acceptance as an art form, including the Chicago Motion Picture Commission hearings of 1918--1920, one of the most revealing confrontations over the use of censorship in the motion picture industry. He then examines how movies overcame the stigma attached to popular entertainment through such watershed events as the creation of the Museum of Modern Art's Film Library in the 1920s. The arguments between Pauline Kael and Andrew Sarris's heralded a golden age of criticism, and Haberski focuses on the roles of Kael, Sarris, James Agee, Roger Ebert, and others, in the creation of "cinephilia." Described by Susan Sontag as "born of the conviction that cinema was an art unlike any other," this love of cinema centered on coffee houses, universities, art theaters, film festivals, and, of course, foreign films. The lively debates over the place of movies in American culture began to wane in the 1970s. Haberski places the blame on the loss of cultural authority and on the increasing irrelevance of the meaning of art. He concludes with a persuasive call for the re-emergence of a middle ground between art and entertainment, "something more complex, ambiguous, and vexing -- something worth thought."

The authors assess alternatives for a next-generation intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) across a broad set of potential characteristics and situations. They use the current Minuteman III as a baseline to develop a framework to characterize alternative classes of ICBMs, assess the survivability and effectiveness of possible alternatives, and weigh those alternatives against their cost.
