  It was a time of spiritualism. A world full of myth, mystery and mysticism. The people were open to the possibilities of life after death, supernatural powers and magic. 
   
  Into this world stepped a fascinating wizard of the mind and his name was Rasputin. Great powers to heal the sick, to save the wretched, prophesy the future and to bring on fits of spiritual excitement. He was a god of hypnosis and mesmerism and a master of trickery and magic. 
   
  Mad monk, mystic, prophet, man of God or con-man? Rasputin's evil eyes stare at us across the generations as a warning shot to all those who would believe without question the words of a self-proclaimed spiritual man.

  About Man and God and Law is the story of how Bob Dylan sparked a revolution of the spirit and why it matters today. 
   
   
   
  Many of our assumptions about empathy, sensual pleasure, and the essence of work, community, country, race, and the divine have germinated in Bob Dylan's need to know what's blowing in the wind and how it feels. Tracing his work and vision through themes that have shaped religious and cultural history for millennia, Stephen Daniel Arnoff uncovers how Bob Dylan has re-enchanted ancient questions of meaning and purpose throughout popular culture, inspiring a pantheon of prophetic musicians along the way. This field guide to Dylan's spiritual wisdom aims to make good on the promise that if we look closely enough at his body of work—precisely at a moment when the world we thought we knew seems like uncharted territory—we can open up our eyes to see not only where we really are, but where we need to go.

  Breaking the Inherited Cycle of Trauma
  In his unflinchingly honest memoir, Mitchell Raff candidly recounts his journey to overcome generational trauma and break free from decades of addiction. With raw vulnerability, he lays bare his destructive coping mechanisms and the far-reaching consequences they wrought on his life and on those around him.
  Beaten mercilessly as a child by his Holocaust-survivor mother, Mitchell was later kidnapped from Los Angeles to Israel before finding refuge with loving relatives back in America. In his adult life, the echoes of trauma forced Mitchell into patterns of substance abuse, sexual vices, and toxic relationships. But at a certain point, Mitchell explains, you need to own your decisions, for better or worse. After years of painful self-examination and work, Mitchell settled into a healthy relationship and found the strength to endure blows that once would have destroyed him. 
  Mitchell’s unfiltered account of his trials, failures, and ultimate breakthrough to become the man he always wanted to be is living proof that cycles of generational trauma can be broken, that even the deepest wounds can soften, and that though the road is difficult, it is within reach to not only survive but thrive.

  Steering a course through the muddy waters of the care system has provided many obstacles but has overall proved to be a rewarding and heart-warming experience for the author. 
   
  Children who find themselves removed from their birth families are thrust into a system which, although trying its best, is so often lacking in the love and good quality nurturing they deserve. 
   
  As a society, we need to look at the way we deal with vulnerable children.
