Normandy to Nazi Surrender -...

Patrecia Slayden Hollis, Colonel...

The late Van Slayden trained on the PT-3 kite-like biplane in 1937, but he learned fighter pilot operations flying "by the seat of his pants," walking away from five crashes. Shortly after the invasion of Normandy, he landed on Utah Beach to help establish a US Army Air Forces' (AAF's) presence in Europe. He flew the P-47 Thunderbolt, a fighter-bomber, in combat over Northern France and commanded the 36th Fighter Group-the "Fightin' 36th-at Batogne, St. Vith, the Bridgehead at Remagen, Operations Grenade, Clarion, Varsity and other missions. His 22nd Fighter Squadron was the first in the AAF to land voluntarily on German soil. 
 
 
 
He was deep into Germany when the Nazis surrendered on May 8, 1945, which was remarkably anticlimactic. Van Slayden, a country boy from rural Tennessee, like so many of his contemporaries, stepped up to the challenge as part of the Greatest Generation.

Aion - Researches into the...

C. G. Jung

Aion is one of the major works of C.G. Jung's later years.  
 
The title comes from the Greek word for aeon or age and refers to the age of Christianity, for, in Aion, Jung is concerned with the collective psychic development that the Christian era represents. How did it come about when it did? What psychic change did it represent? In exploring these questions, Jung (1875-1961) draws upon Christian symbolism and, in particular, the figure of Christ as a case study in the archetype of the Self.  
 
The book begins with an account of the important concepts of the ego, the shadow and the anima/animus (here referred to as the syzygy). Jung then continues with his exploration of the Self archetype as represented through Christian symbolism and the figure of Christ. In particular, a discussion and critique of the Christian view of evil is provided. The symbolism of the fish, which recurs as a symbol of both Christ and of the devil, is examined in detail and a wide range of alchemical, pagan and gnostic material is drawn upon. The final chapter of the book proposes a model for the structure of the Self.  
 
Aion is one of the most important volumes of the Collected Works and complements The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious. Translated by R. F. C.Hull.

The Universe Within

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
This is a divided and chaotic world. A world torn apart by greed and hatred. By desires that spread around the world like a disease. The stress of modern life pushes us further and further apart from each other and nature. 
 
The simple fact is that we are destroying the planet upon which we rely for sustenance. Our chaotic minds form chaotic societies. Power and wealth are in the hands of the people who should not have them. We subconsciously know that we have screwed things up and yet we proceed to screw things up a little more with each passing generation. 
 
We have forgotten the prime directive of the universe. We ignore its teachings. We fail to listen to its pleas. 
 
The truth that will save you and all of mankind is very simple. It is the Universal Law of Attraction and it is time to listen and learn from it.
