    The Unabomber Manifesto and...

    Theodore J. Kaczynski

    Theodore Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber, is a United States murderer, mathematician, and neo-Luddite social critic who carried out a campaign of mail bombings. He was born in Chicago, Illinois, where, as an intellectual child prodigy, he excelled academically from an early age. 
    A considerable amount of credible circumstantial evidence suggests that Kaczynski was the unwitting victim of top secret CIA-sponsored 'MK-ULTRA' mind-control experiments conducted at Harvard University from the fall of 1959 through the spring of 1962. Some experts suggest that these experiments may have been the cause of his emotional problems. 
    Kaczynski eventually received an undergraduate degree from Harvard University and earned a PhD in mathematics from the University of Michigan. He became an assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley at age 25 but resigned two years later. 
    In 1971, he moved to a remote cabin without electricity or running water, in Lincoln, Montana, where he began to learn survival skills in an attempt to become self-sufficient. 
    He decided to start his bombing campaign after watching the wilderness around his home get destroyed by development. 
    From 1978 to 1995, Kaczynski sent 16 bombs to targets including universities and airlines, killing three people and injuring 23. Kaczynski sent a letter to The New York Times on April 24, 1995 and promised "to desist from terrorism" if the Times or The Washington Post published his manifesto. In his Industrial Society and Its Future (also called the "Unabomber Manifesto"), he argued that his bombings were extreme but necessary to attract attention to the erosion of human freedom necessitated by modern technologies requiring large-scale organization.

    -Unnamed Essay 
    -When Non-Violence is Suicide 
    -Hit Where It Hurts

    This may be one of the best books you will ever read, and some of the most vital pieces of information you will ever receive regarding sexual health and fitness. As you read through this book you will come across pages with personal information I shared. I share my journey not to boast, discourage, or seek sympathy from you, my lovely readers, but to build a bridge with you. You may be seeking to harness the power of your sexuality and fitness. There is a deeply personal narrative at the heart of my work. I have witnessed the transformative impact that certain types of information can have on an individual's confidence and self-expression. This book is an extension of my commitment to helping others realize their full potential. It is not a one-size-fits-all-all, and neither should it be taken as a substitute for professional guidance or treatment, but a suggestive guide to your wake-up call that may evoke your willingness to start your journey to sexual health and fitness and holistic well-being. Hey, can you do me a favor? Just smile for me. Yeah, that is a start. Thank you, and best wishes.

    Transforming Race Conversations...

    A guide to supporting our emergence from the tight grip of race discomfort. 
     
     
     
    If we are to address the injustice of racism, we need to have the "race conversation." All too often, however, attempts at this conversation are met with silence, denial, anger, or hate. This is largely because the construct of race resides not only in our minds, but principally in the body. In order to have productive conversations about race and racism, a paradigm shift is needed—one which will empower us to remain present and embodied, rather than constricted with fear, regardless of our racial identities. 
     
     
     
    Here, psychotherapist Eugene Ellis explores what is needed for this bodily shift to occur as he unpacks the visceral experience of the race conversation. He offers a trauma-informed, neurophysiological approach that emphasizes resourcing, body awareness, mindfulness, and healing. Transforming Race Conversations is essential for therapy practitioners as well as anyone looking to engage more effectively in the ongoing dialogue around race.

    According to Freemasonic symbolism, Enoch, fearing that all knowledge of the sacred Mysteries would be lost at the time of the Deluge, erected the two columns mentioned in the quotation. Upon the metal column in appropriate allegorical symbols he engraved the secret reaching and upon the marble column placed an inscription stating that a short distance away a priceless treasure would be discovered in a subterranean vault. After having thus faithfully completed his labors, Enoch was translated from the brow Of Mount Moriah. In time the location of the secret vaults was lost, but after the lapse of ages there came another builder--an initiate after the order of Enoch--and he, while laying the foundations for another temple to the Great Architect of the Universe, discovered the long-lost vaults and the secrets contained within.
