It took author Richard Gene, Ph.D., nearly thirty years of contemplation and research to construct and record his comprehensive model of the Spirit World. Unlike many other books on spirituality that limit their descriptions or definitions, Gene's model as outlined in "Connections with the Spirit World," is non-judgmental and inclusive. He maintains that humans cannot formulate complete models and that there are no incorrect models, only incomplete ones. We ought not declare models incorrect simply because they don't work for us-they work for somebody, and that is why they exist! Gene's model correlates with all the common, everyday happenings and feels like a natural part of life-as a spiritual model should feel. It explains why we sleep, why dreams tend to be surrealistic, how our body knows how to heal, how our instincts and intuition work, how we have a natural partnership with our creator and why we need to make it mutually beneficial for our creator and ourselves. His model explains how we receive spiritual guidance every moment of every day-guidance that is consistently gentle, caring, nonjudgmental, undemanding, and comfortable. "Connections with the Spirit World" offers a refreshing new perspective that will help you grow spiritually.

This oral history of the air war in Vietnam includes the stories of more than thirty pilots who all had one thing in common-after returning from Southeast Asia and separating from the service, they were hired as pilots by Western Airlines. As the chapters begin, Bruce Cowee tells his story and introduces us to each pilot. The interesting theme is that all of these men served in Southeast Asia and in most cases never knew each other until they came home and went to work for Western Airlines. Each of the pilots featured in this book is the real thing, and in an age of so many "Wannabees," it is reassuring to know that each of them was a pilot for Western Airlines and someone who Bruce worked with or knew professionally. The stories span a 9 year period, 1964 - 1973, and cover every aspect of the Air War in Southeast Asia. These 33 men represent only a small fraction of the Vietnam veterans hired as pilots by Western Airlines, but this book pays tribute to all of them.

What is the force that animates all human life? Where does it come from? Is there an organized process in the universe that provides intelligent guidance toward a more evolved state of consciousness? In “Soulmate,” Christopher Georgeovich’s second book, the author seeks to answer many of these vexing questions.From the book:“This driving force toward enlightenment is created by an evolved soul which has chosen a particular body to be their human vehicle to light their way into conscious awareness by returning to Earth with a more refined rendition. Souls continue pursuing human spiritual development in the elder years of their enlightenment…After completing a lifetime, souls, after their bodily death, return with minor degrees of enlightenment to assist in their designated duties. Senior souls have returned after being prepared by enlightened master souls for another cycle of assisting humanity. In the process of their assisting, simultaneously they are examined on their own personal growth, to see if they are physiologically and emotionally developed enough to benefit humanity into an enlightened species.”
