Book excerpt: Ride The Wind Laughing is an Illustrated autobiographical story describing the mystical events and experiences which contributed in major ways to my building a 51-foot sailboat in the back yard of my mother's home in rural Nova Scotia- an event which began with no money in an effort to test the Laws of Manifestation and prove to myself the efficacy and practical value of my years of spiritual training. Over a period of four and a half years, the boat, named Wind Rider, went from an imagined image, to a pile of lumber, and finally to a very unusual vessel to both live aboard and sail the oceans of the world. I don't, however, recommend the effort as a way to test the Laws Of Manifestation! It was more like a ladder to a fool's paradise when viewed from below, but when viewed from above, the journey itself was the reward. What any gargantuan effort of creativity does for the mind, heart, and body .. It does far more for the soul.

Book excerpt: Beijing, 1322. Wu Johanna is the granddaughter of the legendary trader Marco Polo. In the wake of her father's death, Johanna finds that lineage counts for little amid the den of intrigue that is the Great Khan's court. Johanna's future – if she has one – lies with her grandfather, in Venice, more than a continent away at the very edge of the known world. So, with a small band of companions, she takes to the Silk Road – that storied collection of routes that link the silks of Cathay, the spices of the Indies and the jewels of the Indus to the markets of the West. But the journey will be long and arduous, for the road ahead is beset by burning sands and ice-fanged mountains, thieves and fanatics, treachery and betrayal.
Download or read book On Pegasus Wings written by Kit Cain and published by Christopher Cain. This book was released on 2006-05-15 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since I started learning to play the guitar fifty-some years ago, writing my own songs and putting words to rhythm and rhyme has become a sort of hobby that I use to fill my spare time. Whenever I feel that some phrase, concept, or event in my life warrants expression in song or poetic verse, I sit down and work it out in the moment and then store it away in one of my notebooks. Over the years, and as my consciousness moves increasingly into spiritual things, expressing concepts poetically seems the natural medium for spiritual thoughts and feelings and thus my writings turn more to poetry and poetic prose. One day I decided to organize them into coherent order and only then did it occur to me that someone else might be interested in that which had flowed so effortlessly off the end of my pen over the years. There are roughly 40 poems, 19 song lyrics, 7 letters or stories, and six author's commentaries here between these covers. Hopefully, more than a few will be inspiring, entertaining, or provoking of profound thought. If, however there is just one that you read over and over again down through the years, this book will be worthy of its place in your family library.
Download or read book Master of the Welded Bead written by Kit Cain and published by Christopher Cain. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a short story about a master of the universe (his own universe) who matches the greater freedoms of being a tradesman against the responsibilities and questionable rewards of a business owner or executive. Although he could be equally successful at either end of the spectrum, he chooses the path less traveled and becomes the champion of the less privileged and lesser developed souls in his world. An ex-US Marine pilot, ex-professional gambler, ex-family man, and professional master welder (among other things) Jack Diamond finds himself at opposite poles with his old Marine buddy, Don Hendrix, who owns the ship-building company where he works. Jack is never quite sure whether he's really in charge of all his circumstances or not. Only time and some dimension beyond his comprehension add substance to his experience, wisdom, intelligence and personal power-which never seem equal to the challenges placed before him. If you ever wondered how a well-educated, highly-intelligent soul would choose to move backward down the ladder of so-called success in an entertaining, challenging, and fun-filled manner, Jack Diamond will show you the way.
Download or read book The Chasm Crossed written by Kit Cain and published by Christopher Cain. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are always those of us who feel compelled or drawn to reach out beyond the confines of what we can see, feel, hear, taste or smell into the area of the unknown and unprovable which has been-in the past-the rather exclusive domain of religion and Spirituality. I was myself compelled beyond my capacity to resist to reach not only out into the unknown, but to climb whatever ladder needed to be climbed to rise up out of each box I found myself contained within (and limited by) as some sort of doctrine, philosophy, belief system, scripture, or group thought. I ended up on a very long and sometimes lonely journey which took me to a place of comfort where I felt I at least knew something- that something being a lot more than I knew before beginning the journey. Since that journey to understanding turned out to be the primary thrust and focus of attention of my whole life, I kept track of my thoughts and experiences and wrote them down- sometimes as poetry, sometimes as song, sometimes as narrative. This book highlights the narrative portion of that journey and it describes in a mystical sort of way what I found to be of practical (and impractical) value. For most of us, the journey through life is a journey from "nothing" to "something". I finished that journey about age 35 and then started on the journey from something to nothing. As you will see if you read further inside, nothing merely means "no-thing". The understanding of the word and concept is, however, tantamount to understanding "every-thing".
Download or read book An Arrow to the Heart written by Kit Cain and published by Christopher Cain. This book was released on 2006-05-15 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Arrow To The Heart is decidedly not a standard conventional love story la Cupid's arrow! It's more like discovering too late that one's potential soul mate is equally attracted to a cat-a wildcat, to be precise- in the form of an 18 year-old daughter who is twice as precocious and desirable as her mother. It's a challenge for none other than a master of the universe, and that master is Jack Diamond himself-the Master of the Welded Bead and the lead character in the story which goes by that same name. It is actually a continuation of that story, written originally as a follow-on screenplay, but of such a different character as to demand its own title. The story is unique in that it demonstrates that no matter how advanced, developed, or experienced the soul, the vastness of the Event-Former's intelligence is always tossing a new combination of ingredients into life's cake to make the temptations of Satan seem like child's play next to the cake baked to tempt mastery's extended capabilities. What would you have done wearing the shoes of any of the story's principle characters?

Book excerpt: From barroom brawls to Main Street shootouts, Ride the Ranger Winds offers non-stop action of true to life Texas Rangers.

Follow Laughlin as he grapples with his life on the trail and his decision whether to marry Melissa and quit the Rangers, or continue his dangerous life on the Range.......Does he find an acceptable compromise?
Download or read book Soul And Man written by Kit Cain and published by Christopher Cain. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insofar as I am able to discover -- and I have purposefully not looked very hard -- no one has yet (by year 2004) come up with an adequate description or definition of the human soul. After attempting to tackle the task for three years, I can easily understand why. Being a forerunner in unexplored and unknown territory carries with it -- at first -- a level of uncertainty which runs a high risk of making a fool of of any intelligent explorer. Ironically, the quest produces only the fool, for the perspective gained from the attempt alone reveals a previously unseen, unfelt, unknown dimension which dwarfs the mind and intelligence of man altogether. Had I not long since come to know myself as a fool -- albeit a wise one -- I would never have attempted the Herculean task of making the hidden soul more visible. The frame of reference for the soul established in this book is taken from thinking and experience far broader, deeper, and higher than my own -- much of it having existed in "secret" teachings thousands of years old. They were secret because mankind was not yet ready for them -- or else someone or something at some higher level than the human level didn't want the information revealed. My compulsion, however, is to make at least my own understanding public along with my own intuitive realizations and conclusions for those who are capable of seeing beyond the material as well as within it. The book is not easy reading. It was never intended to be. It took me some 30 years to begin to undeerstand what is written herein. Even so, what is written still leaves me with a "void of ignorance" which I can only hope time will dispel. This is really my personal "notebook" .... a piece of open architecture for further thought. It is actually my understanding at age 70. Hopefully, my perspective and understanding will continue onward and upward from here. Kit Cain

Download or read book Flying the Yukon s Bush written by Kit Cain and published by Christopher Cain. This book was released on 2006-05-15 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1962 I had just been released from active duty as a US Marine helicopter pilot and had no idea what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, but had planned from the very beginning to make the most of my mandatory armed services draft obligation so that I would at least have the qualifications and experience of being a commercial pilot as one means to earn a living. The most interesting job offer which would utilize my training as a pilot came from Klondike Helicopters of Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory. Despite my very excellent and thorough training in the Navy and Marines, bush flying turned out to be dramatically different and more challenging. The high costs of commercial helicopter operations demanded that the pilot make daily judgments crucial to the safety of not only the machine but also its occupants. And then there was the total unpredicability and rapid changeability of weather conditions in mountains and above the Arctic Circle. I was fortunate enough to be one of two pilots and two helicopters on a project whose purpose was to map the stratigraphy of the entire northern half of the Yukon Territory. This took me over nearly every square mile of the northern Yukon at a time when it was still a relatively untouched frontier. It was most certainly an opportunity of a lifetime, covered here with color photos and stories from legendary bush pilot, Pat Callison, owner of Klondike Helicopters.

Download or read book The Laughing Monsters written by Denis Johnson and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Denis Johnson's New York Times bestseller, The Laughing Monsters, is a high-suspense tale of kaleidoscoping loyalties in the post-9/11 world that shows one of our great novelists at the top of his game. Roland Nair calls himself Scandinavian but travels on a U.S. passport. After ten years' absence, he returns to Freetown, Sierra Leone, to reunite with his friend Michael Adriko. They once made a lot of money here during the country's civil war, and, curious to see whether good luck will strike twice in the same place, Nair has allowed himself to be drawn back to a region he considers hopeless. Adriko is an African who styles himself a soldier of fortune and who claims to have served, at various times, the Ghanaian army, the Kuwaiti Emiri Guard, and the American Green Berets. He's probably broke now, but he remains, at thirty-six, as stirred by his own doubtful schemes as he was a decade ago. Although Nair believes some kind of money-making plan lies at the back of it all, Adriko's stated reason for inviting his friend to Freetown is for Nair to meet Adriko's fiancée, a grad student from Colorado named Davidia. Together the three set out to visit Adriko's clan in the Uganda-Congo borderland—but each of these travelers is keeping secrets from the others. Their journey through a land abandoned by the future leads Nair, Adriko, and Davidia to meet themselves not in a new light, but rather in a new darkness.
