  You need to be Awake within Your Woke. 
  To be Awake, You need to go to the Unfathomable, 
  To the Bottomless and Beyond! 
  We don't die! - We come Back! and No, I'm Not talking about reincarnation! - Also, there is 'No' Heaven or Hell!  
  A Spiritual Journey Beyond Human Reason 
  The book is about the 'Process' required to exit this 3- dimensional existence we believe to be reality - Uncovering hidden memories that keep you Trapped! Whilst removing the vale and showing you what is really going on. We do not belong here! We have become trapped here, not against our will but, in spite of our Will!  
  The book starts by gently leading you into the dark, removing the vale and showing you what is really going on around you. It then makes sense of where you are, and why you are led by attitude's and dialogues that reside outside of you. A sturdy foundation has been placed in order to safely ease you into your deep, otherwise it may have been too much for some minds to decipher. The next part of the book tells you how you have been captured and how you continue to feed your keeper (The custodian entity) how, the Life Force of your Soul is being harvested - and how you are in denial that it even exists. The last part of the book is how to free Self and get Home (if you are ready). If it is your time, you will hear and understand what is written within the pages of this book. 
  Understated - Who I am is not important, However, what I say is! Neither am I here to become so called Famous, I am just here to inform You...  
  I am about to take You through 'Your Dark' and Switch the Light On! So, Buckle Up and Enjoy the Ride!

  Educating in Faith - A History...

  Roman Catholic public schools in England emerged from the early 1800s as part of the wider educational mission of a Catholic church seeking to support a growing Catholic population.
  
   
  Around a dozen such schools – male, boarding, upper class and staffed by priests, monks and brothers from the dioceses and religious orders – had emerged by the early twentieth century. Some – Ampleforth, Stonyhurst, St Edmund’s, Beaumont, the Oratory, Downside, or Prior Park – catered for an aristocratic clientele, whilst others – Douai, Mt St Mary, Ratcliffe or Cotton – sought more middle class pupils. Their objectives were similar: the creation of a new Catholic elite which might take its place in the Establishment.
  
   
  By the mid-twentieth century, they were at their zenith, but at the millennium they faced the challenges of declining vocations to the religious life, a stagnant Catholic population, and a series of child sexual abuse cases.
  
   
  Educating in Faith seeks to place a diverse set of school histories within the wider demographic, social and religious development of Roman Catholicism in England. It seeks to move beyond the finer detail of school histories to better understand the place of the public schools within the Catholic educational mission and the nature of the academic, cultural and spiritual character of these institutions. As co-education, increasing competition, the disappearance of a religious workforce in the schools and the child sexual abuse crises altered school environments, the book reflects on the contemporary relevance, place and character of these schools.

  The Dad Rock That Made Me A Woman

  A memoir-in-essays on transness, dad rock, and the music that saves us. 
   
   
   
  When Wilco's 2007 album Sky Blue Sky was infamously criticized as "dad rock," Niko Stratis was a twenty-five-year-old closeted trans woman working in her dad's glass shop in the Yukon Territory. As she sought escape from her hypermasculine environment, Stratis found an unlikely lifeline amid dad rock's emotionally open and honest music. Listening to dad rock, Stratis could access worlds beyond her own and imagine a path forward. 
   
   
   
  In taut, searing essays rendered in propulsive and unguarded prose, Stratis delves into the emotional core of bands like Wilco and The National, telling her story through the dad rock that accompanied her along the way. She found footing in Michael Stipe's allusions to queer longing, Radiohead's embrace of unknowability, and Bruce Springsteen's very trans desire to "change my clothes my hair my face"—and she found in artists like Neko Case and Sharon Van Etten that the label transcends gender. A love letter to the music that saves us and a tribute to dads like Stratis's own who embody the tenderness at the genre's heart, The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman rejoices in music unafraid to bare its soul.

  Poem Criticizing the Avignon Papacy

  Raimon de Cornet, J.H. Robinson

  The period known as the Avignon Papacy began in 1309, when Pope Clement V relocated the seat of papal power to Avignon, France. The French monarchy slowly gained control over the papacy during this time, and as they did, corruption and greed grew in the church. The troubadour and priest Raimon de Cornet staunchly opposed the Avignon Papacy for these reasons. He summarized his grievances in this noteworthy poem, in which he states, “I see the pope his sacred trust betray, / For while the rich his grace can gain alway, / His favors from the poor are aye withholden.”
