Remembering, Father and Me

Remembering, Father and Me

Marlene Dee Gray Potoura

34 years ago, Marlene lost her Father to an assassination. This was during the Bougainville Crisis, that saw friends, families, clans and countries riven by greed and power. Divisions driven by colonial economic and environmental disruption. Her Father, a great Chief, was much loved and revered by his beloved daughter. He knew his lands, his rivers, his peoples, and every atom that passed through them. Ms Dee Gray Potoura shares his story, and others, all enveloped by the spiritual life of the peoples and the great majesty of their forest lands. A rich culture from a millennia of living in paradise and ancient knowledge. Ms Dee Gray Potoura started writing to heal; and became a prolific author, recording her culture and the surrounding spiritual world. And finally, 34 years after the passing of her Father, she has been able to finish and release the story to the world. A landmark publication. This is a writer at the height of her descriptive power; with structural nuance. Stories unimaginable elsewhere without the work of the writers of the Greater Pacific. History, told by the people, not the casual gaze of a colonialist. Remembering is raw and visceral, a glowing gift to literature from a doyen of the Greater Pacific. Written from a heart whose rhythm will echo everywhere.

This is a book written for those of us who were left at the altar, cheated on, lied to, got stolen from, left widowed, got left right out and all together those whose life didn't quite turn out how they expected it too. This is for the brave ones who have decided to get back into the world of dating after their heartache dims and the world seems just a little bit brighter today than it did yesterday. Yes this book is for the hopeless romantics among us that want to give love another go and see if there really is a thing called "Happily Ever After."This book is your guide to getting around the "ups and downs" of dating.This book may even become your bible.The lessons and laughs that are at your fingertips will potentially save your life. A little dramatic maybe but it's always better looking at it than for it.Let's just say that this book has been "test and measured" in the market place all in the name of research and with life changing results. Let's put it this way, if a sister can help out another sister in the ways of a mister then that sister is doing her sister a favour. This is the good, the bad and the ugly guide to giving your heart a second or third or fourth attempt at finding love in all the right spaces.Men, don't despair, you may secretly pick up a copy of this book and learn a thing or two about the fairer sex. This is not an anti-men book. Men are amazing. If there was ever a guide book to women, this is the closest it's going to get.This book is meant to be a topic of conversation. It's meant to evoke opinions. It's meant to start chatter. This book is really about the list. This book will define who and what constitutes being on "The Dickhead List."

Tao Te Ching - 81Verses (channelled) for Contemplation and Integration Consider, contemplate and integrate the words written by the revered Lao Tze. It is his gift to humanity, a lasting legacy which transcends time. The words, like the 'Old Master' are eternal, omnipresent with a promise of a life that could be. That way of being is held firmly in your hands, in your behaviour and most importantly, in your heart... It is your choice.An empty space, is an open mind, where nothing is something for you to find... Be like the Sage and be content, for our five senses are Heaven sent... It is ok to be, an individual just like me... It is in the heart and in the deed, lies the secret to succeed... Don't live in a state of discontent, with all that you have, be content... Act but not compete.I may be known in many ways, Lao Tse, Lao Tze, Lao Tsu, Lao Tzu or Laozi, The Tao Te Ching or the Tao De Ching or simply The Way. However you relate to me, always remember to follow The Way, in your own time, in your own way...Lao Tze

The Methodists and Revolutionary America, 1760-1800

The Methodists and Revolutionary America, 1760-1800

The Methodists and Revolutionary America is the first in-depth narrative of the origins of American Methodism, one of the most significant popular movements in American history. Placing Methodism's rise in the ideological context of the American Revolution and the complex social setting of the greater Middle Atlantic where it was first introduced, Dee Andrews argues that this new religion provided an alternative to the exclusionary politics of Revolutionary America. With its call to missionary preaching, its enthusiastic revivals, and its prolific religious societies, Methodism competed with republicanism for a place at the center of American culture. Based on rare archival sources and a wealth of Wesleyan literature, this book examines all aspects of the early movement. From Methodism's Wesleyan beginnings to the prominence of women in local societies, the construction of African Methodism, the diverse social profile of Methodist men, and contests over the movement's future, Andrews charts Methodism's metamorphosis from a British missionary organization to a fully Americanized church. Weaving together narrative and analysis, Andrews explains Methodism's extraordinary popular appeal in rich and compelling new detail.
A Farm Boy Joins the Navy: An Oral History, Written Down: Cotton Fields, Steel Ships, Airships and Missiles
Commander Walter D. Ashe, Jr., served during World War II and the cold war as a gifted airship pilot. "Dub" Ashe earned the respect of aristocrats, admirals, scientists, fellow pilots and a president's daughter, but none of that seemed possible early in his life. Childhood ended at age seven when his father's death plunged the family into poverty. A math whiz with a photographic memory who also loved fun and sports, Dub missed days and weeks of high school because he had to work to keep food on the table. His Depression-era teachers understood and helped. A scholarship paid for two years at Memphis State University, but he was too poor to accept until his aunt and uncle provided room and board - and a job. Three years of good grades (and little sleep) followed, but further education seemed remote. Discouraged, he unintentionally joined the Navy (by signing up for a "free" cruise), and soon faced either scraping decks as a seaman- or an intense, compressed midshipman program at Northwestern University. He emerged a happy, promising and well-fed ensign. His girlfriend learned he would make more money if they married, so they did. A week later he went to sea. When Mrs. Evaline Ashe finally could follow him, she arrived at Pearl Harbor two months before the Japanese attack. Ashore with her Sunday morning, Dec. 7, 1941, Dub got back to the ship while enemy planes still swarmed. His ship was partially sunk in shallow water, but soon was back at sea. Two years of war later, the Navy desperately needed airship pilots, but the Raleigh's executive officer sat on Dub's application. How he got into Naval aviation anyway is a lesson in seizing the moment, hilarious and typical Dub Ashe. "The boy commander" flew airships from the end of the war until the Navy stopped using them in the 1960s. In those final days, he worked closely with Dr. David C. Hazen of Princeton to develop a "flying wind tunnel." Ashe's reputation led to other problem-solving assignments for the Navy, including a role in the Cuban missile crisis and a civilian career. Dub Ashe was a stubborn, seemingly unstoppable guy who repeatedly found himself in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing, often despite opposition. Horse sense, audacity, integrity, brains, gumption, and good mentors served him (and his country) well.

Ancient Aliens meets The Da Vinci Code: What Alex Jones, Coast to Coast AM and David Wilcock didn't tell you. Ancient conspiracies, secrets and legend: Could ancient secrets have an effect on the polarized human life we live today? What are the origins of the "me too" movement and conflicts between the sexes? Where does the Russian meddling begin and end? From Dan Brown and the Da Vinci Code, Daniel Silva and The Unlikely Spy, to The Illuminatus Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson, writers have explored the secrets of religion, government agencies such as the FBI and CIA, the 'deep state', shadow governments and big business as they seek to establish, manage and control the advent of a New World Order. What is their ultimate goal? What truths do they seek to hide? Who is it that truly controls the events that affect human life?This book explores historical elements such as the impact of the Russian Revolution, biblical references and the fall of the Soviet Union as well as the story of Lucifer and the Fallen Angels, the book of Enoch and the role of the Vatican in shaping human history. Organized crime, the Mafia and a deep secret paranormal administrative body that truly influences and guides human kind are also explored as they too seek to exploit humanity in their sinister ambitions. The Narrator is the Author, Dee Martin, drawn innocently into the quest as a scribe, observer and historian but for what ultimate end? The main character is the erudite assassin Mr. French, employed by a deep, secretive administration to re-balance the scales of justice supporting a deep ancient conspiracy while readying the landscape for a final battle. We drift into and out of the backstory of the biblical fall of the Angels referenced but largely written out of the Bible although detailed by a man who walked with God....Enoch. A beautiful young girl taken from her village and exploited during The Fall is explored. The spirit of this long forgotten child is relived through the character of 'The Waif', a gorgeous, sardonic bartender in our modern world with attitude, whose curiosity thrusts her headlong into the story and into a whirlwind romance. 'The Waif' symbolizes the curious, independent and intrepid feminine spirit that seeks to recover from this fall, a spirit subordinated and marginalized throughout time yet a spirit whose time to rise has come. But is it all too late?
