Download or read book Wi written by Bill Reed and published by Reed Independent. This book was released on 2020-01-03 with total page 879 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surely you remember Wi, a name especially chosen to fit our attention spans? The world-record kidnappee, nabbee, swipee, snatchee, hoisted so many times even he’s lost count? (How about those three times in five minutes effort? That takes rare raw talent, that does.) I mean, if it wasn’t for our Wi how many of these yabbers, yarns, shaggy dogs and yank-your-chain whoppers could I trot out for you? Even getting across one’s not easy when it’s always against the wind from people laughing in your face. No, really, without our Wi, where would all the odd-balls be, drowning their sorrows by ingesting the food in Dominic’s Eatery, swallowing whole mouthfuls without a thought for their own safety? Would any plate get the Wi wipe and come out miraculously unscathed from what had been just laid upon it? Without Wi, how many screwballs could have hired him to do all they’ve always wanted to do? God knows, and the Talls say ‘God knows’ because, if you take it that God made him in His own image, then maybe you’ve stumbled across the one time God spoke too soon. Okay, setting that aside, coming to you is a cast of Lankan characters – and you’d cast too -- and barf, and burp – if you had some of Dominic’s food inside you, let’s not kid ourselves. Not all of us have cast-iron guts and can absorb what could canonize you if you kept it down. And our Wi can’t help being White, either. Did he ever ask for the hoists he’s had to suffer, or complained about the lack of duty-of-care his kidnappers have shown him -- their kidnappee, after all? No. All he asked was a hideaway high above the stars so bright. At least he got that. And, though having to watchfully wait, at least he received the epiphs, too. With the epiphs, he could epiphicatedly dream, so I guess he had something going for him. And let’s not forget he’s Talls recorded as having said, ‘Just let me know if I’m breathing too much and I’ll stop’. Hey, what kidnappee or country like Australia gets a kidnappee so considerate? Is he a peach of a pooch, or what? ---------------------- Bill Reed is an Australian novelist, playwright and short-story writer with national awards for all three. He now lives in both Australia and Sri Lanka.

Download or read book Oneo written by Cornelius Christopher and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONEO is one of the most influential and inspiring spiritual awakening journeys you will ever read. From despair to enlightenment, every sentence rings with honesty and bravery the details and description of his Consciousness awakening are unbelievable; you are right there when this happens. ONEO is a true story about unconditional love and how a single random act of kindness can save someone's life. Cornelius Christopher courageously opens up his life to the world to show how we urgently need to change the way we treat one another and ourselves. The depth with which he shares unspeakable accounts on how society creates an abused child who later becomes a suicidal adult is beyond imaginable, beyond words, beyond anything you have ever read before. The story begins the moment Cornelius experiences what physicists call a quantum superposition, during which he is forced to watch his funeral and the heart-wrenching scene of his wife finding him dying from his future suicide. From there, the roller coaster ride continues, moving the captivated reader from moments that are painfully honest, gritty and raw, to scenes that are heartwarming, romantic and laugh-out-loud funny. Through a perplexing series of unfolding events following his quantum superposition, Cornelius discovers newfound abilities, including his continuous connection with Consciousness and a gift for healing. While healing his wife, Cornelius is shown a vision and channeled by Collective Consciousness to write his life story and share the knowledge he gained from his Consciousness awakening with the world. ONEO is more than an autobiography; it’s a must-read for anyone wanting to learn how to escape their emotional and physical pain or be free of the ego by learning to expand their Consciousness and raise their vibrations. It is a valuable, in-depth, self-help resource of eye-opening truths about reality and how we can influence it to improve our lives by realising our power of choice in every moment of Now. "Prepare yourself for your spiritual awakening."

PHOLOMOLO-NO MAN NO WOMAN is a remarkable and inspiring story about yet another facet in Veronique's already amazing life, a story about learning to live your own truth every day.

Download or read book I ve Told Someone written by Tricia Dale and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-10-07 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It took the author just over two years, a tremendous amount of determination and commitment, and lots and lots of practice to become the person she is today. She knew she was getting there when she was walking in the local neighborhood and passed a gang of young children playing in the street. She walked on and heard the pitter patter of tiny footsteps behind her. A little girl, around six years old, patted me on the backside and said, Excuse me, but you're not a real girl are you? She put her perfectly manicured finger to her lips and said, Sshh, don't tell anyone. She kept walking, but as she turned the corner, a shrill voice shrieked out I've told someone Instead of being offended, she burst out laughing. She's since dressed on coaches, trains, buses, and trams. She's dressed in Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Blackpool, Carlisle, and London. She's even been round the Houses of Parliament dressed. The world awaits-but is it ready?

Download or read book Poor People written by William T. Vollmann and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2010-10-05 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That was the simple yet groundbreaking question William T. Vollmann asked in cities and villages around the globe. The result of Vollmann's fearless inquiry is a view of poverty unlike any previously offered. Poor People struggles to confront poverty in all its hopelessness and brutality, its pride and abject fear, its fierce misery and quiet resignation, allowing the poor to explain the causes and consequences of their impoverishment in their own cultural, social, and religious terms. With intense compassion and a scrupulously unpatronizing eye, Vollmann invites his readers to recognize in our fellow human beings their full dignity, fallibility, pride, and pain, and the power of their hard-fought resilience. Some images that appeared in the print edition of this book are unavailable in the electronic edition due to rights reasons.
