I was dead simply dead oblivious to anything that had occurred or what was yet to occur. Then I actually became aware that I was shivering (after all, it is freezing in a mortuary holding room). It was dark as I opened my eyes, wondering why I was lying naked on a hard table. Then a hand grasped mine and raised me to a sitting position. What was happening to me? I soon learned the answer.

Download or read book Soul Survivor written by Andrea Leininger and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2009-08-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Leininger was just two years old when he began having disturbing nightmares that would not stop. He screamed out in the night: 'Plane on fire! Little man can't get out!' While nightmares are common among children, what happened next shocked those around him... James began to reveal details of planes and war tragedies that no two-year-old boy could know. His desperate parents were at a loss to help him until he said three things: 'Corsair', 'Natoma' and 'Jack Larsen'. From these tantalising clues, James's parents travelled thousands of miles and spent many long years piecing together these facts to try and find an answer that could end his torment. Finally, despite his mother's fears and his father's staunch Christian beliefs, they found only one possibility to the endless coincidences that surrounded every detail in James's life – that their son was reliving the past life of a World War II fighter pilot. Their touching story is one that will challenge sceptics and confirm the beliefs of those who already believe in life after death.

Download or read book Second Time Around written by D. A. Miller and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The art houses and cinema clubs of his youth are gone, but the films that D. A. Miller discovered there in the 1960s and ’70s are now at his fingertips. With DVDs and streaming media, technology has turned the old cinematheque’s theatrical offerings into private viewings that anyone can repeat, pause, slow, and otherwise manipulate at will. In Second Time Around, Miller seizes this opportunity; across thirteen essays, he watches digitally restored films by directors from Mizoguchi to Pasolini and from Hitchcock to Honda, looking to find not only what he first saw in them but also what he was then kept from seeing by quick camerawork, normal projection speed, missing frames, or simple censorship. At last he has an unobstructed view of the gay leather scene in Cruising, the expurgated special effects in The H-Man, and the alternative ending to Vertigo. Now he can pursue the finer details of Chabrol’s debt to Hitchcock, Visconti’s mystificatory Marxism, or the unemotive emotion in Godard. Yet this recaptured past is strangely disturbing; the films and the author have changed in too many ways for their reunion to be like old times. The closeness of Miller’s attention clarifies the painful contradictions of youth and decline, damaged prints and flawless restorations.

Book excerpt: This is an anthology of my work in short stories, essays, poems, and scripts about someone who grapples with his existential angst. There are eternal problems from the dawn of man to be solved philosophically, but there are always special problems in each era that require our immediate attention due to the lifestyles we choose and the way that families, societies, culture, and civilizations come together and sometimes break apart. It is during those moments of the day when the residue of what we have said and done falls from grace and is distilled and bottled under our particular brand that makes the existence of our marvelous species worthwhile and ready to pass on to the next generation. This book is dedicated to those that are young in spirit and romantic to the furthest reaches of our mortality.

Download or read book Tusha written by Roland Faber and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucas Falk meets Tusha. Something he would regret eventually. As devils seem at the loose, a female corpse is detected having been trailed by a yacht. The private Eye Rick Macari comes on the scene. A riddle about the appearance of large amounts of drugs in the country activates two Scotland Yard men to arrive in the town. A colourful tycoon is as usual behind it all. Lucas, who notices nothing from the goings on around him, finds himself gradually deteriorating by the modus vivendi of Tusha. Rick Macari endures to lay bare the truth about it all. Excerpt of Tusha: CHAPTER FORTY-THREE Youre different Man, was Macaris first remark to Luke as they met at the Mocha Coffee House. Im happy. Shes come back to me. Sorry about standing you up the other night, but Im sure youll understand. Course I do. Im pleased for you. Shes come around Rick, shes learned. And, enthused Luke, you know what? Shes gone all tender and sweet. Isnt it beautiful? Im so glad for you Luke, acceded Rick. But wasnt sure at all if that was the last episode of their saga. It would call for a miracle to cure her. Then Rick asked him: How are you for money? Oh, money,. Im alright, thanks. Rick knew that he couldnt be. But such earthly items seemed to have lost their reality for Luke. Mammon truly had lost its meaning for him. As Rick went to the counter to order more coffee, he took some larger notes from his wallet. He came back to Luke and pressed the bank notes into the Germans hand. Treat your little Darling to a meal or something and, Rick threatened, dont argue about it or ever mention it. Right? What do you know about little Darling? Asked Luke, hiding his embarrassment about the money. Why? Asked Macari. Tusha explained Luke, is Russian for little Darling. Literally translated, Darling is Tushka, but as a pet name for somebody smallish or special, one uses Tusha. Thats very fitting, agreed Rick, but he thought how misplaced that name was with that callous bitch. It was Luke who changed the subject: I was so engrossed in my own affair that I forgot to ask you what you know about her father and why are you here actually? Hes simply a big time gangster, answered Rick flatly. Come on, you cant do that with me Im not that stupid, so spill the beans. You dont really sell computers then, do you? Macari realised that he had to own up. Somehow he trusted that poor soul. He told Luke most of the story. Lukes face stayed a permanent pale during the long narrative, eventually he said: Now I must support her even more so. The poor girl. Luke was in tangles again. How did all this escalate to such proportions? He coerced Rick to give him more details: Where does Reynolds fit into all this? Hes the big X in our equation, frankly we dont know where he stands in their hierarchy, but I believe hes one of the big ones. We dont know yet how Parker communicates with Reynolds but our suspicion is he does employ Parker. Thats the chap youve asked me once if Id know him, wasnt it? Thats right, hes got an air taxi business just like yours but he operated from Grantham. Parker was the name you said? Asked Luke. Thats the one. Hes a sort of short fellow with a pear shaped torso, balding head and when he walks, he waddles like a penguin. Toms his first name and he doesnt just work like a taxi pilot. His main job is being a hit man. Dont like the circles you mix in, said Luke shaking his head in sorrow. Its only business. Now that youve mentioned it again that name seems to ring a bell with me somehow. I faintly remember people talking about him a few times. I never met him knowingly, though. Let me ask you something, were you ever involved with drug smuggling? Why do you ask me that question? Luke fidgeted. Well, then you would know what kind of mob deals

Download or read book Being Scioto Hopewell Ritual Drama and Personhood in Cross Cultural Perspective written by Christopher Carr and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-05 with total page 1564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, in two volumes, breathes fresh air empirically, methodologically, and theoretically into understanding the rich ceremonial lives, the philosophical-religious knowledge, and the impressive material feats and labor organization that distinguish Hopewell Indians of central Ohio and neighboring regions during the first centuries CE. The first volume defines cross-culturally, for the first time, the “ritual drama” as a genre of social performance. It reconstructs and compares parts of 14 such dramas that Hopewellian and other Woodland-period peoples performed in their ceremonial centers to help the soul-like essences of their deceased make the journey to an afterlife. The second volume builds and critiques ten formal cross-cultural models of “personhood” and the “self” and infers the nature of Scioto Hopewell people’s ontology. Two facets of their ontology are found to have been instrumental in their creating the intercommunity alliances and cooperation and gathering the labor required to construct their huge, multicommunity ceremonial centers: a relational, collective concept of the self defined by the ethical quality of the relationships one has with other beings, and a concept of multiple soul-like essences that compose a human being and can be harnessed strategically to create familial-like ethical bonds of cooperation among individuals and communities. The archaeological reconstructions of Hopewellian ritual dramas and concepts of personhood and the self, and of Hopewell people’s strategic uses of these, are informed by three large surveys of historic Woodland and Plains Indians’ narratives, ideas, and rites about journeys to afterlives, the creatures who inhabit the cosmos, and the nature and functions of soul-like essences, coupled with rich contextual archaeological and bioarchaeological-taphonomic analyses. The bioarchaeological-taphonomic method of l’anthropologie de terrain, new to North American archaeology, is introduced and applied. In all, the research in this book vitalizes a vision of an anthropology committed to native logic and motivation and skeptical of the imposition of Western world views and categories onto native peoples.
