  In today’s world we live in a culture of truth suppression. This is true in representative democracies like the United States as well as full totalitarian dictatorships like Communist China.This book covers many areas of major lies like Global Warming, perverted doctrines taught in schools, Politics, News Suppression, Communist China, limitations in Spirituality, deficit spending, and problems with globalism.There are many different types of truth suppression and as much as we would like to think that we live in an advanced culture and world, this effort by different entities to suppress truth affects our lives negatively in many ways.The most direct effect is that we live in fear of the future of our world which is a big lie.This suppression also keeps us from fully realizing our spiritual natures and that we do have the ability to accomplish amazing things when we live with full honesty in our lives.I believe that individuals are closest to a state of happiness when they live their lives in truth. (See my book “A New Paradigm of Truth and Happiness” for more information.)There are actions we can take to correct this situation but they are mass actions which need many persons involved to have a real effect. A list of these actions are given later in this book.

  From the mist-shrouded valleys of central Mexico to the glimmering highlands of Colombia, the ancient Americas witnessed the rise of extraordinary urban centers that would shape the destiny of countless generations. In "Mesoamerican Capitals: Cities of Stone and Gold," we embark on a journey through time to explore four of the most influential civilizations that rose to prominence long before European contact transformed the Western Hemisphere. 
  These weren't merely settlements but complex metropolitan hubs—centers of innovation, artistry, and power that rivaled their Old World contemporparts in sophistication and grandeur. Teotihuacan, with its monumental Avenue of the Dead and towering pyramids, once housed over 125,000 inhabitants in a masterfully planned cityscape that influenced cultures throughout Mesoamerica. The Toltec capital of Tula stood as a beacon of military might and cultural refinement, establishing patterns of rulership and religious practice that would echo for centuries. Monte Albán, crown jewel of the Zapotec civilization, commanded the valleys of Oaxaca from its mountain perch, while the Muisca Confederation created a network of urban centers across the Colombian highlands, their wealth in gold becoming the stuff of legend. 
  These weren't simply places where people gathered—they were the physical manifestations of worldviews, cosmologies encoded in stone and adobe. Each represented distinct approaches to urban planning, governance, and the relationship between the sacred and the profane. Their rulers wielded power through combinations of divine authority, military prowess, and control of vital trade routes that connected distant regions through complex networks of exchange. 
  As you turn listen to this book, you'll discover how these remarkable urban centers functioned as crucibles of innovation, where art, architecture, mathematics, astronomy, and religious thought flourished in distinctive ways.

  “I was taught to treat everyone the same.” “I don’t see color.” “My parents voted for Obama.” When white people have the opportunity to think and talk about race and racism, they more often than not don’t know how. In this adaptation of Dr. Robin DiAngelo’s bestselling book White Fragility, anti-racist educators Toni Graves Williamson and Ali Michael explain the concept of systemic racism to young adults and how to recognize it in themselves and the world around them. Along the way, Williamson and Michael provide tools for taking action to challenge systems of inequity and racism as they move into adulthood. Throughout the book, listeners will find the following: · A dialogue between the adaptors that models anti-racist discussions · Definitions of key terms · Personal stories from this multiracial team · Discussion prompts to encourage listeners to journal their reactions and feelings · Illustrations to help concepts of white fragility and systemic racism come alive · Portraits of scholars and activists, including Carol Anderson, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Ijeoma Oluo, whose work is amplified throughout Dr. DiAngelo’s theory of white fragility.

  A provocative examination of how religious practices of forgetting drive white Christian nationalism. 
    
  The dual traumas of colonialism and slavery are still felt by Native Americans and African Americans as victims of ongoing violence toward people of color today. In The Feeling of Forgetting, John Corrigan calls attention to the trauma experienced by white Americans as perpetrators of this violence. By tracing memory’s role in American Christianity, Corrigan shows how contemporary white Christian nationalism is motivated by a widespread effort to forget the role race plays in American society. White trauma, Corrigan argues, courses through American culture like an underground river that sometimes bursts forth into brutality, terrorism, and insurrection. Tracing the river to its source is a necessary first step toward healing.
