Synopsis

In "The Nibelungs," Ferdinand Schmidt intricately weaves a rich tapestry of myth and legend, revisiting one of Europe's foundational epic narratives. This work stands out through its vivid prose and deeply immersive storytelling, blending intimacy with dramatic grandeur akin to the ancient sagas. Schmidt employs a lyrical style that not only captures the essence of the original tales but also revitalizes their themes of loyalty, fate, and the tragic consequences of ambition, while meticulously contextualizing them within the socio-political landscape of medieval Europe. Ferdinand Schmidt, a scholar of Germanic literature and culture, draws from extensive research and personal exploration of his ancestral roots to craft this adaptation. His passion for folklore, bolstered by his academic background and a longing to reconnect modern readers with their historical heritage, serves as the driving force behind this compelling interpretation. Schmidt's previous works and his engagements with oral traditions have equipped him with a unique lens through which he understands these ancient stories, positioning him as both a custodian and innovator. Schmidt's "The Nibelungs" is a must-read for anyone captivated by the interplay of history and myth. It serves not only as an essential read for scholars and students of literature but also for casual readers intrigued by the timeless tales of love, betrayal, and heroism that continue to resonate through the ages.

    Radionics is the term for machines which manipulate life forces. This is often for healing or increasing psychic perceptions.The Author is an engineer and has many decades of experience with the paranormal and well as time learning and experimenting with radionics devices from the 1970s.While radionics devices are often considered pseudoscience, those opinions don’t take into account the sensitivities of individuals who have incredible paranormal and healing abilities.In my first year of engineering school at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York I met a man who became my mentor in the Paranormal and other things too. This was in 1973.I learned to meditate and how to open my crown chakra to take in vital forces which allowed me to do many things including healing others.In addition I also met another middle aged guy at a Psychic Fair in Saratoga Springs, New York. He was a researcher in the arcane field of Kirlian Photography.In this book the history of radionics is discussed, some of the major influencers on that history, how these devices are used for healing, and even some plans for building radionics devices. My hope is that this book will give you a good grounding in radionics to learn to use it productively for your own efforts.

    Nine Years Among the Indians is an autobiography of Herman Lehmann, who was an eleven-year-old boy when he was captured by a raiding party of eight to ten Apaches alongside his older brother Willie. The Apaches called Lehmann "En Da" (White Boy). He spent about six years with them and became assimilated into their culture, rising to the position of petty chief. As a young warrior, one of his most memorable battles was a running fight with the Texas Rangers on August 24, 1875, which took place near Fort Concho, about 65 miles west of the site of San Angelo, Texas.The phenomenon of a white child raised by Indians made Herman Lehmann a notable figure in the United States.

    Inner Revolution Poetry 2 - Time...

    This book has been compiled during pilgrimages in India and around the world capturing bhakti, the spiritual path of devotional service. 
    Herein one finds poems about the spiritual master, practicing bhakti, connecting to God and living a life of spiritual pursuit. 
    From the Foreword 
    The beauty of poetry is also practical. It is said in the Vedic scripture that to be a poet is one of the divine qualities possessed by devotees of the Lord. Like an ornament it enhances the character of a person, if he is using this poetry not for own sense gratification, but for glorification of the Supreme Person. That is the only work of a poet, namely to glorify the all-attractive person, literally Kṛṣṇa. 
    Words that do not glorify the All-attractive Person, Kṛṣṇa, are considered by saintly persons to be like places of pilgrimage for crows. Swan-like devotees who are actually residents of the kingdom of God do not derive any pleasure there. Thus, I follow in the footsteps of my spiritual teachers who were all expert poets and writers. 
    2016, as a believer and traveler I came to win back faith. Finding shelter with the wisdom texts of the Vedas, a doorway to self-realisation was opened. Self-realisation is nothing cheap, but the sole purpose of human existence. This human form of life is essentially meant for inquiring about the Absolute Truth. 
    When this mystical door opened, I had insight into spiritual truth, substantial, enlightened and blissful. In a state of meditation this spiritual drop touched my heart and I tried to get hold of it. Expressing my experiences in words of poetry helped to channel these spiritual visions and insights.
