Book excerpt: There were just the two of us in the ship.I had not been on the Ship very long when I had my first experience of the Mothership's Oversoul. I had been there long enough, however, to understand that the ship was a living, multidimensional being. I had a vague understanding of the sixth dimensional areas of the ship. However, the seventh dimensional portion of the ship is not an “area.” It is a formless soul that overlooks all the souls who reside on the ship.The super-subconscious frequency of the ship automatically observes, repairs and updates the basic structure, which is always changing. Therefore it holds the basic form of every component of the ship. On the other hand, the Oversoul consciousness is a formless, yet tangible energy that feels like an electrical field filled with love and cohesiveness.These feelings usually are most predominant on the upper areas of the ship, such as the bridge and all command centers. However, when necessary, the Oversoul over- lights meetings, individuals, and devices on the ship that are called upon to function at an exceptionally high state of consciousness.I was taken to the Mothership shortly after I had left “time” during my meditation. Once I could leave time, a vast array of new abilities lay just beyond my reach. Hence, I was taken to the Mothership for more advanced studies. The Arcturian and I entered a scout ship and headed for the Mothership.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic real life stories of four young people caught up in the mass exodus of Shanghai in the wake of China’s 1949 Communist revolution—a heartrending precursor to the struggles faced by emigrants today. “A true page-turner . . . [Helen] Zia has proven once again that history is something that happens to real people.”—New York Times bestselling author Lisa See NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR • FINALIST FOR THE PEN/JACQUELINE BOGRAD WELD AWARD FOR BIOGRAPHY Shanghai has historically been China’s jewel, its richest, most modern and westernized city. The bustling metropolis was home to sophisticated intellectuals, entrepreneurs, and a thriving middle class when Mao’s proletarian revolution emerged victorious from the long civil war. Terrified of the horrors the Communists would wreak upon their lives, citizens of Shanghai who could afford to fled in every direction. Seventy years later, members of the last generation to fully recall this massive exodus have revealed their stories to Chinese American journalist Helen Zia, who interviewed hundreds of exiles about their journey through one of the most tumultuous events of the twentieth century. From these moving accounts, Zia weaves together the stories of four young Shanghai residents who wrestled with the decision to abandon everything for an uncertain life as refugees in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the United States. Benny, who as a teenager became the unwilling heir to his father’s dark wartime legacy, must decide either to escape to Hong Kong or navigate the intricacies of a newly Communist China. The resolute Annuo, forced to flee her home with her father, a defeated Nationalist official, becomes an unwelcome exile in Taiwan. The financially strapped Ho fights deportation from the U.S. in order to continue his studies while his family struggles at home. And Bing, given away by her poor parents, faces the prospect of a new life among strangers in America. The lives of these men and women are marvelously portrayed, revealing the dignity and triumph of personal survival. Herself the daughter of immigrants from China, Zia is uniquely equipped to explain how crises like the Shanghai transition affect children and their families, students and their futures, and, ultimately, the way we see ourselves and those around us. Last Boat Out of Shanghai brings a poignant personal angle to the experiences of refugees then and, by extension, today. “Zia’s portraits are compassionate and heartbreaking, and they are, ultimately, the universal story of many families who leave their homeland as refugees and find less-than-welcoming circumstances on the other side.”—Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club

Download or read book Nakhti Queen Mothership Reinstatement of Ancient African Philosophy for Healing and Restoration written by Kali J. N. S. and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-23 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queen mothership was a concept that governed Africa before colonialism. The Queen Mothership was based on dual rulership between male and female, and multi-level governance with a matrix of ethics to revere the divine feminine as well as masculine. Queen Mothers were once critical political figures who held authority and even considered to be autonomous rulers. The overthrow of the Queen Mother Ship occurred during the beginning of the slave trade in Africa. It inadvertently led to our demise and imbalance between male and female relationship dynamics. The Nakhti Queen Mothership was written to restore balance and healing for those who seek transcendence and need answers for how we got into a subjugated state and need answers on how we can heal. I also give examples of where the Queen mothership took place in Africa and the geographical reasons for why this system came into place.Lastly, there is a call to reinstate the Queen Mothership philosophy for healing and restoration of the nuclear family through Black women liberating herself, and tenants centered around structured cultural values and self-love. The women are the first teachers of children. Once the women become enlightened, her wisdom trickles downs to her children, ultimately reshaping the consciousness of the future generation. The men are to delight and support the women in their enlightenment so they can reap the benefits in their household.
