    My explanations are only an attempt to present this Holy Miracle Book. This interpretation trial to extract the exact deep meaning of these texts' verses, ayah, and surah of this Final Testament Quran . This attempt is for every one searching for the truth in this world, in a mannerly, civilized dialogue, while respecting each others beliefs and looking for the real second birth for each one of us. Since no one has gotten the chance to read about all other faiths, this Miracle Book will bring to you all this information, which will lead us to find the One Religion. Allah (SW) wanted the Quran to be a miracle and proof. It was sent as a challenge for the non-believers. And, if you want to challenge someone to prove superiority, you must challenge them in something they excel at. You cannot challenge a weak or disabled person in weightlifting, which would prove nothing. You have to challenge a weightlifter. So, when the Quran came and challenged the Arabs in their own language and prevailed, it did not mean that the Arabs at that time were weak in language arts. To the contrary, it is a testimony that they excelled in their language and mastered it at a high -Shakespearean- level. So, when the Quran prevailed over them linguistically, it became a real triumph. The purpose of the revelation of the Quran was not to reveal scientific explorations or to explain the secrets of creation. These matters remain hidden in its verses and are revealed in their proper time. It is when the scientific minds are active in the search and study of such areas that Allah (SW) makes these verses shine with their true meaning. This makes each scientific revelation in the Quran more appropriate for its time and more impactful as it is delivered when the scientific minds are ready for it. The Prophet left the explanations of the Quran, which are not related to matters of duties and religious law, to be revealed by time. This real story with two separate events, first one starts with a rich man who owned a vast estate, but had no heir to inherit this wealth. His nephew, filled with greed, conspired against and killed him. When night fell, he threw the body at the doorstep of another village in order to frame them for his uncle's murder. The next morning, as people saw the body, they naturally accused the village of his murder. And despite their denial, the relatives of the victim insisted on blaming them. After the matters escalated, and the two villages clashed, they decided to resort to Prophet Moses so that he may ask Allah (SW) to resolve the issue and identify the murderer. The second event, Allah (SW) was helping a pious man on his straight path. This man from among st the Children of Israel kept Allah (SW) in mind in all his business and social dealings. As death approached him, all he had was a baby cow and his only heir at the time was his little boy. He was unsure about whom he should entrust his small fortune to. Who would be best to take care of the calf until his son is able to take care of it for himself and his mother? He pondered long, then turned to the heavens and supplicated "e;Lord! I entrust this cow to you, protect it for my son until he grows older"e;. Then he said to his wife "e;I have entrusted the cow to Allah (SW). I didn't find anyone more trustworthy than Him"e;. She asked: "e;So where is it now?"e; He replied "e;I left it to roam free in the fields."e; Shortly after, he died. When the son grew older, his mother told him the story. He asked: "e;Where can I find that cow after all these years?"e; His mother replied: "e;your father entrusted the cow to the Lord. Rely on Him, and search for it."e; The young man supplicated "e;Lord of Abraham , return to me what my father had entrusted to you"e; and then set out searching for it. He found the cow, exactly as his mother described it to him. This cow was also the only one that perfectly fit Allah's description to the quarreling villagers. Thus, when they found, they set out to purchase it at any price. The young man agreed to sell it in exchange for its weight in gold. When the villagers slaughtered this cow and struck the dead victim with it, he was resurrected to declare the name of his killer. Thus, the name of this chapter "e;The Cow"e; affirms the central issue of resurrection in all faiths leading to the One Religion creed. In addition, the story also teaches us that parents' righteousness plays a great role in the protection of their children. Through the good deeds of the parents, Allah (SW) facilitates the affairs of the children and protects them from harm. When the righteous man entrusted all he had to Allah (SW), Allah (SW) blessed, protected and nurtured it so that his son may find great treasure when he grew older. Being upright and righteous is the best insurance one can give his or her children as it instills Allah's blessing and protection into every aspect of the child's life.

    As a German philosopher once said: "e;Believing is not knowing"e;. Since, we live in a physical, hard, cold, cruel material world, it is a highly important subject matter, and a definite reality strug-gling, striving, and spending good portion of time to deal with it, literally makes life impossible to be straight forward, fair, and honest even with our own selves. Life, alarming us to wake up to realities, be smart creature, learn how to socialize, improvise, compromise, curb individual, inner desire, and control personal acts to fit into society, where we live or be ready to pay the painful price. It is an accidental event, neither to celebrate, nor to take it seriously to mourn over, but learn to live, and tolerate it the best one knows how. With human limited intelligence, it is impossible to decode its secret, or find any meaning for it, in fact life is a huge gambling table, whoever has been born lucky to throw the winning dice, is the winner for rest of losers to suffer bad luck. There are, no true, actual, real justice, good and evil, or right and wrong, but whoever has the power come out the winner. It is not only so very wrong to be right in a wrong world, but extremely confusing, sad, and, painful.

    RIVER TAILS is a silly river-rafting story for children. It also includes a story about helping a child to feel good about their differences. The author made frequent 3 day trips down the Rogue Wild and Scenic River where he was Manager, and funny ridiculosities did occur to him while floating and rowing and camping on the narrow beaches. He told those stories to his children's friends, with an introductory "e;Did I ever tell you about when I floated down the Rogue?"e; Children who had heard some of the stories would excitedly come to hear another silly story. Of course the author's children would say "e;Oh no, not again"e;, and "e;How do you other kids stand those crazy stories?"e; But those children loved them. The 75 year old author says he is "e;still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up"e;, and "e;I grew up once, and I didn't like it"e;.

    Judaic thought on the role of war in the history of the children of Israel begins with the biblical narratives that record a variety of belligerencies in which God is often depicted as the one who leads the Hebrews in battle, protects them from their enemies, and makes them victorious over other armies. Thus, during the initial phase of the exodus from Egypt, when the people were terrified by the approach of the Egyptian army, Moses sought to calm them by assuring them that the Lord will fight for you (Ex. 14:14), which he repeated when he sought to calm their concerns by again assuring them: The Lord your God who goeth before you, He shall fight for you (Deut. 1:30). These assurances clearly were not intended to be taken literally. The metaphor of God as their warrior had multifaceted connotations for a people who knew or at least perceived themselves to be smaller and weaker than the nations with which they would have to contend in order to establish themselves in the land divinely promised to their ancestors. The metaphor provided the children of Israel with a sense of security; informing them that they were chosen for freedom by an all-powerful God who would continue to support them even in the face of apparently overwhelming challenges. The present study focuses primarily on a number of biblical narratives selected because they each reflect the basic issues of reason and morality that relate to the conduct of warfare throughout human history, as understood in Judaic thought. In each case, the context will be described to the extent necessary to evaluate the rationale and consequences, both intended and unintended, of the resort to armed conflict. The study then addresses the efforts, in the post-biblical rabbinic period, to amplify and codify the rules pertaining to the making and conduct of war and peace, a process that continues in Judaic thought to the present day, when such decisions, after a lapse of two millennia, once again confront autonomous decision-makers in the modern State of Israel.

    This book, 'The Eye of Venus', is Book One of a trilogy. The other books are entitled 'Twenty Years On' and 'The Return to Chiaros'. This series, set hundreds of years ahead from now, and on another planet, is what I call (soft) Sci-Fi/Fantasy. Science and history are background to the story. The story is of a quest for an emerald, a special emerald. The emerald is part of a device that was used for inter-realm passage. The main competitors are Satanic forces, and a secret Catholic Church organization known as Probono Dei.

    Christianity is not a religious construction, but rather accepting the man Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Saviour. This is the reason for which deliverance from placenta, umbilical cord, first water and sponge birth captivity is a thing to look at. "e;And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all"e; (Ezekiel 16:4). Now indigenous and modern sciences states that by cutting the umbilical cord, the child is freed after birth from the blood of the mother, with which it was nourished in the womb. If the cutting is not done, as well as the tying off of the navel-string, which takes place at the same time, the child will death when the decomposition of the placenta begins. The fact is that many people are still bound by generational curses. Because these curses that have been passed down from one generational to the next are passed down through the umbilical cord. We are bound by birth and early childhood experiences. There are instances in the bible, in the lineage of Abraham, their first son's never make it to inheritance, if you trace the case, you will be shock on what happened between Jacob, Joseph and his sons even to David and his sons. They were attached by the umbilical cord. There was a curse in operation and yet was almost undetected. Foundation issues can travel for generations unnoticed. Circle of imitations, failures, hardships, poverty can be traced to family foundations due to agreements with demons when these altars were setup, some of our forefathers may have said,"e; take wealth and protect me and my children"e;. How then, can this family experience prosperity when the devil holds this as a legal agreement against them? Some suffer affliction because they refuse to continue in the worship of these idols or some its generational curses. Nevertheless, some may manage to be doing well, because they engage in evil practices. So the devil will leave them alone. This is the reason for which this book has come at the right time to us help understand the manipulative act of the placenta witchcraft targeted against our destiny. We should be delivered from every umbilical cord, first water and sponge birth captivity. If you are seeking for deliverance in any area of your life, business, ministry, then this book will help to point you in the right direction.

    I wrote this workbook because it disturbs me that a lot of individuals and communities are constantly living their lives in "e;Crisis Mode'' with little or no time and opportunity to realize their dreams. I believe a certain stigma is attached to those who are deemed by society (others) as always needing someone to rescue them from one crisis after another. Without naming names, I will say that for some this trend grows more prevalent with each passing generation. I want my family and peers to realize that we do not have to live on the edge as though we lack a foundation (culture) to stand on. There inevitably is more to all of us than our struggles but until we get past having our finger on the "e;Panic Button"e; we will not get a chance to display our audaciousness. I am confident that this "e;Crisis Counseling Workbook"e; can aid anyone whose life has gotten off track or who simply wants to succeed at creating a better life for themselves and their family, as well as improve the community they live in. "e;In the darkest hour, a pinprick of light is all that's needed to guide the lost home."e; That said, please feel free to tweak this crisis counseling program to meet the particular needs and circumstances of those you are counseling.

    We use the toolbox of the mind to uncover the secrets of existence, the meaning of life, and our purpose and place in the universe. What tool do we have to investigate the nature of the mind; surely not the mind itself. Can the mind be its own witness to testify for its legitimacy?What judge would consider such testimony convincing enough to vindicate the claimant?The dilemma is resolved when the judge who presides at this trial is the mind's own reflection, projected to createNECESSARY ILLUSIONS,its deliverance from chaos and confusion. But such illusions work only if they are perceived as real, even beyond real; SACRED!

    Reversing, Willie Lynch's (a white slave owner from Jamaica) prescribed methodology for making an ideal slave, outlined in the manual he gave to white slave owners in 1712, on the banks of the James River, (Jamestown Virginia), titled, "e;Let's Make A Slave,"e; is the motive for me writing this treaties. There usually is more than one reason why we succeed at our individual as well as collective goals. Likewise, there are several factors involved in our struggles. Therefore, this small book is not meant to be a cure all for what ails our family and community (African Americans). It is a partial solution to what I believe to be the primary cause of our difficulties, namely, the ramenets of the traumatic experience of four-hundred years of enslavement here in America, that have been passed down through our DNA. This Treaties is meant to address what has been too long ignored concerning why there is an epidemic of violence, addiction, sucide and crime in our homes and community. Our community is not only being devastated by these social-ills, but the gains we have made over the last hundred years through sacrifice and protests, are also being decimated. (decimate /desmt/ verb 1. Kill, destroy, or remove a large percentage or part of. "e;the project would decimate the fragile wetland wilderness"e; 2. HISTORICAL kills one in every ten of (a group of soldiers or others) as a punishment for the whole group. "e;the man who is to determine whether it be necessary to decimate a large body of mutineers''). I note the definition of 'decimate' because I want to emphasize the point that we are literally dying by the tens-of-thousands at both our own hands as well as at those of police officers, who deem Black lives as expendable.

    The Basque philosopher Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936) was viewed by his peers as being one of the most significant writers and thinkers of the twentieth-century. As an author, Unamuno worked in all of the major literary genres: essays, novels, poetry and plays. However, according to the Mexican novelist and essayist, Carlos Fuentes, it was the philosophical essay which was his real forte. Yet Unamuno, towards the end of his life, provided a different-though not necessarily contradictory-perspective on his work. When Unamuno was asked to define himself, he stated that in all of his writings he should be considered "e;nothing but a poet."e; Taking each of these statements both literally and seriously, what Professor Wasserman attempted to do in this work was to integrate the two assertions. He accomplished this task by first translating passages in Unamuno's essays from Spanish to English and then by converting the prose translations into lines of poetry, thereby providing the reader with a lyrical and engaging picture of Unamuno's philosophy of life.
