Soul Split Son

Ive spent years developing my love of writing and placing that love into a synopsis of my life. My poems arent just words to be read. They are gateways into my life. My earlier works, which will be obvious to identify, will briefly show the pains and transitions Ive endured to be the man that has gone off to serve his country, a man who was once a boy who proudly serves his community. Later works express large amounts of pain and sacrifice to become the educated man of god i am now. Although the listed entries are limited, each page opens a part of my soul unknown to those even closest to me.

Broken Spirits Lost Souls provides a rare, valuable look at a silent yet potentially deadly problem plaguing families today, Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). Children born into crisis or ambivalence are vulnerable to attachment disturbances because the roots of this horrendous disorder occur when basic life enhancing needs of newborns and infants go unnoticed or unmet. Consequently, children who are victims of early neglect or trauma are at grave risk. The candid stories in Broken Spirits Lost Souls, told by parents of disturbed youngsters, paint a clear picture of their chilling, dangerous behavior. Attachment disorder may be demonstrated by out-of-control children as young as three years old. By their teens, these kids predictably defy authority and challenge every accepted familial and societal norm. At their best, individuals with RAD represent the embryonic stages of an antisocial personality, at their worst they are full-blown psychopaths consumed by the search for another victim. RAD is not a rare phenomenon and is primarily preventable through early identification and by employing simple, sound parenting skills.

The First Children return to find the Soul Rings, Rings with the power to combine two or more souls, so that they may revive the Original. Unfortunately, each of the Rings is possessed by one of Xaos's tyrannical Lords of the universe, ten highly powered god-like beings that rule a tenth of the universe each.Complicating matters is the aftermath of the Andromeda Disaster and the fact that space has changed dramatically since the destruction of the Void. However, whilst it seems that Xaos and his Lords are the only major challenge facing the First Children, they must face treachery from inside their own ranks and a more omnipotent power than they could have ever imagined...Darkness is coming.

‘What would we be without love? We would inevitably become isolated and gradually lose all connection with our fellow human beings and our fellow creatures in the natural world.’ – Rudolf Steiner In this rich, previously-untranslated collection of lectures, Rudolf Steiner approaches and illumines the figure of Christ from manifold directions and perspectives. Christ, the being of love, is for the body of the Earth what the heart is within our individual organism. Given throughout 1911 – the year before Rudolf Steiner split from the theosophists citing fundamental disagreements over the true nature of Christianity – the lectures reflect Steiner’s intensifying emphasis on the central deed of the Christ being in Earth evolution, whilst in tandem demonstrating the truths of reincarnation and karma. He reveals profound vistas of human development and paths of advancement over many lifetimes, in which Christ is to be our steadfast companion and exemplar. Lectures include: ‘Faith, Love, Hope’; ‘Original Sin and Grace’; ‘The Effect of Moral Qualities on Karma’; ‘The Importance of Spiritual Enquiry for Moral Action’; ‘Wisdom, Prayerfulness and Certainty in Life’; ‘The Birth of the Sun Spirit as Earth Spirit’; ‘The Threefold Call from the World of Spirit’; ‘Christmas – A Festival of Inspiration’; ‘The I at Work Upon the Child and How this Relates to the Christ Being’; ‘Ossian and Fingal’s Cave’, and many more. Translated by Matthew Barton, this volume features an introduction, notes and index.

This has been a very trying project to complete. Redwood Ritual is the objective observation of the world as it is today as it presently presents itself. Though this required far less time than Soul Split Son, Redwood Ritual is quite comprehensive. I've explored various writing styles to express the messages I sought to convey. Some were created in an abstract form, where my thoughts took the lead with no regard to organization. Others explored political events and the cultural metamorphosis which is ever evolving. And then there are entries which directly attack certain facets of life, which we as individuals deem to be imperative to our own ways of life. No one person or group was targeted, but the point and purpose of Redwood Ritual was to illustrate the direction we as a society are headed towards in contrast to the lifestyle and values my generation was raised to embody. It has been said that change and progress are a good thing, however; what happens when we repeat history and trends? There can be no growth, but we will stand mired and lost as a world culture fixated on what has become socially and financially acceptable. We treat the phrase "politically correct" as the benchmark for conversation and education. People have become intimated, shying away from being honest and transparent about their thoughts and emotions. And it is my hope that Redwood Ritual proves itself to be a segway for open communication and unbiased transparent observations.

One of the acclaimed filmmakers of the so-called 'new Italian cinema', Silvio Soldini's early films were recognized by critics for their artistic and cinematic value. This book traces his career from his first student film, "Drimage", to his documentary and shorts, and his feature films culminating in the 2004 comedy "Agatha and the Storm".
