Michael is an 18 year old talented martial artist. After his best friend dies in a tragic accident, he is sentenced to 5 years imprisonment for involuntary manslaughter. Harsh lessons that come with prison life force him to set aside his otherwise well-meaning nature to adapt and survive.

After his release, he reunites with a fellow inmate Ijal who has befriended him. Now an adult, fast-tracking himself to independence and a meaningful course in life quickly becomes more challenging than he had imagined. While reconnecting with his father and martial arts instructor inspire him to pursue a path he once called his own, he also becomes entangled in Ijal's affairs, whose past catches up with him.

Moral dilemmas find their way into complicating his course of action and his sense of himself.

Once again, tragedy unfolds. Being pulled back into a world of violence, everything is put into question: his values, his identity, what he is capable of, and how far he is willing to go to break the cycle he has found himself entangled in.

Rebellion and the Return to Soul Consciousness : Transcending Karma, Death, and Reincarnation - Mastering Spirituality Book by Howard Mann

GET THIS BOOK ON AMAZON

1. What is this I’m experiencing?
2. Does anything exist beyond this?
3. Who and what am I?
4. Why am I here?
5. Does God exist?
6. What choices do I have in any of this?
7. What happens when I die?

These are the seven most important questions you’ll ever ask. These seven critical questions, the answers, and ramifications are the focus of Rebellion and the Return to Soul Consciousness: Transcending Karma, Death, and Reincarnation.

Throughout history, great thinkers have all tried to answer these life-altering questions. From ancient shamans to modern spiritual leaders, people have done their best to guide others to the truth.

As many as 4200 religions sprang up in response to the deep desire for spiritual truth. Most people have followed at least one religion in an attempt to find meaning and purpose in life. Many have jumped from one religion to another, desperately searching for answers, only to find the biggest questions remain unanswered.

Some have, in utter frustration, abandoned religion altogether, becoming agnostics or even atheists. While agnostics settle with the idea that these vital questions are unknowable, atheists firmly embrace the idea that there is nothing beyond this. But that requires a tremendous amount of faith, and just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it’s unknowable.

Science has evolved into a quite sophisticated philosophy in which all that is unprovable by science does not exist. However, cutting-edge science now recognizes a realm beyond time and space in which all potential exists. Furthermore, this potential only manifests as physical reality when it is observed. So, consciousness plays a role in the creation of physical reality.

Therefore, this non-physical consciousness or Spirit, which so many so-called rational people deny, is responsible for the very physical reality in which they exist. Still, spiritual truth is what it is: infinite.

Because spirituality is not limited by the strict rules and rituals of religion, including atheism, and science, spirituality expands into what would otherwise be prohibited. Spirituality will dramatically improve your physical, mental, and spiritual health and solve the many problems in life that can only be solved on a spiritual level.

If you’re still reading this, then Rebellion and the Return to Soul Consciousness: Transcending Karma, Death, and Reincarnation is for you; you’re ready. Prepare to have your heart and mind opened to the realm of Soul Consciousness. With love and light, Howard

Reeling from the devastation of 9/11, Americans anxiously waited for the other shoe to drop. Then the anthrax letters came, branded by the FBI as the worst biological attacks in U.S. history. Despite a lengthy and expensive investigation, no suspect was ever charged.

Six hours after Patsy Ramsey called the Boulder police and frantically reported that her daughter had been kidnapped on the day after Christmas in 1996, JonBenét Ramsey’s father cried out from the basement of their home and emerged carrying the body of his six-year-old daughter, launching one of the most notorious murder investigations of modern times. More than twenty-seven years later, no one has ever been tried for the murder.

In the summer of 1969, as the first astronaut stepped on the moon and 350,000 Americans flocked to Woodstock, the Zodiac Killer terrorized California residents, claiming his murder victims would become his slaves in the afterlife. Despite one of the longest-running investigations in California history, the killer has never been identified.

On January 15, 1947, the body of the woman known as the Black Dahlia was discovered in a vacant lot in Los Angeles. The corpse had been cut in two at the waist, eviscerated, and drained of blood. The search for her killer became one of the most extensive homicide investigations in LAPD history. Despite thousands of leads and multiple confessions, the murder of Elizabeth Short has never been solved. Or has it?

Twenty-month-old Charles Lindbergh Jr. was kidnapped from the nursery of his family's New Jersey home on March 1, 1932. Bruno Hauptmann was convicted and executed, but did he act alone? Or could Charles Lindbergh himself have played a role?

Journey back through time from 2001 to 1892 as veteran private investigator Denise Diana Huddle brings her field-honed investigative skills and trademark snark to an in-depth examination of seven of America's most notorious unsolved mysteries.

From A to Z, Huddle lays out the events and evidence, identifies patterns, and tests theories. As disturbing details emerge, the cases you thought you knew may not be so clear-cut after all.

Leaving the Tribe - a searing look into the future by Peg Herring

GET THIS BOOK ON AMAZON

Following a traumatic murder and a public hanging, sisters Milla and Zalea decide they must escape from the Woods Tribe. It’s the only home they’ve ever known, but as females, they are subservient to men’s rules. While they once enjoyed protected status, being the Leader’s granddaughters, his death means they’ve instantly become chattel, to be handed out as wives to whichever men the new leader chooses.

Zalea is startlingly beautiful. Milla is unable to speak. Their distinctions will work against their need to go unnoticed, but they see no other choice. In the dead of night, they leave the tribe.

The girls travel southward, looking for the father Zalea thought was dead. They encounter many different tribes, each formed on the basis of ethnicity and function. While Leaders decide the local rules, all tribes are united under six Commanders and a head of state, Chief Vox. Separate but equal is, people have been taught for twenty years, the best way for a nation to operate.

Back in the Woods Tribe, a surprising awakening occurs. The disappearance of Milla and Zalea brings another woman to the conclusion that she too must escape. Pushing aside her secrets and past mistakes, she will take the risks she could not face until now. Her journey, though different from the younger girls’, is also fraught with danger. The underside of Fairica is rotten and cruel, but she learns there are still those who are trustworthy and courageous.

Within this unique book’s pages are daring rescues and clever deceptions. Determined rebels engage and defeat smug villains. Strong characters pull readers into the story, entertaining them with action and creativity. The resolution is satisfying, crafted with both honesty and hopefulness.

Woven into the powerful story are possibly inflammatory questions about society. What happens when women are made second-class citizens? What is the result of separating people into tribes by religion, ethnicity, and values? Would we be happier, or at least more content, if we lived in a group where we felt accepted, supported, and justified?

You will be captivated by this action-driven account of Milla and Zalea and their courageous journey. You will cheer for them as they fight the Powers that want to “put them in their place.” It’s a great story, but remember—behind it all is the disturbing possibility that Fairica is the future.
