Tell-Tale Texas - Investigations in Infamous History

E.R. Bills

Beschreibung

Uncover the suppressed testimony of the Lone Star State's uncomfortable past.Tinseltown almost always gets Texas wrong. The "Searchers" never did that much searching, the "Giants" were hardly ever big in terms of character and The Last Picture Show was just the beginning of a disturbing reveal. As acclaimed writer Stephen Harrigan suggests, the Lone Star State was not exactly a Big, Wonderful Thing, and for too many Texans, nothing was ever "Awright, Awright, Awright." A Black civil rights champion was assassinated in 1976, and the incident was buried. A "Cowtown Catcher in the Rye" was published in 1940, and the country club set made it disappear. And the war machines of Hitler and Mussolini were perfected with Texas oil during the Spanish Civil War. Author E.R. Bills challenges his proud neighbors, earnestly asking them to take a hard look at their past and examine their own historical amnesia, cultural fragility and fierce denial.

HO'OPONOPONO - A Christian...

Arcelio Hernández Mussio

Christians are called on to examine everything. Ho’oponopono may be integrated into spiritual life by Christians for soul-cleansing and self-healing purposes. There is no need to believe in reincarnation or to worship other Gods. Love, forgiveness, reconciliation, and gratefulness can only lead to a positive state of mind, which may benefit many aspects, from health to success in relationships and business. 
Christianity and Ho’oponopono recognize that it is God who can cleanse the soul. Our job is to petition the cleaning, for which Ho’oponopono provides an effective method, which may be added to Christian soul-cleaning practices such as prayer, reading the Holy Scriptures, and listening to sermons inspired by biblical teachings. 
In both traditions, soul-cleansing is a lifelong process. One must make this a way of life. Love, forgiveness, and gratitude bring about joy. We can choose to be free of the painful memories that burden our souls by making this mantra or prayer a habit. 
This book goes deeply into both traditions to find similarities and insights.
