Sinopse

Military Identity Disclosure delves into the complex journey of LGBTQ individuals in the U.S. military, exploring the historical context, policy shifts, and lived experiences of service members. The book examines how these individuals navigated restrictive policies such as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) and the subsequent challenges in achieving full inclusion, even after the repeal of DADT in 2011. It highlights that despite policy changes, subtle and overt discrimination persists, hindering complete integration within the military community.

 
The book uniquely presents a multi-faceted perspective using oral histories, archival documents, and policy analyses to give a nuanced understanding of LGBTQ military service. Beginning with an overview of LGBTQ policies and the implementation of DADT, the study progresses through the experiences of service members who lived in secrecy to the policy changes that followed DADT's repeal. It emphasizes the ongoing need for cultural change within the armed forces to ensure true equality and social justice.

 
By focusing on personal narratives and the subtle persistence of prejudice, Military Identity Disclosure offers valuable insights for policymakers, military leaders, and anyone interested in military history, equality in the military, and the experiences of LGBTQ veterans and service members. It challenges assumptions that policy reform alone guarantees equality and contributes to a more informed dialogue about LGBTQ military service.

    A life-changing guide to understanding your brain and how to change it—for good.Break Through the Limits of the Brain explores the neuroscience of sacred, superconscious experience. It offers proven ways to break through the brain’s limits into a life-changing, life-enhancing awareness that is beyond our everyday consciousness; an awareness that is intuitive, creative, energized, joyful, and spirit-filled. Selbie explains how and why the brain’s neural circuits reinforce thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that keep us immersed in limited conscious awareness—and how radical neuroplasticity enables our innate ability to rewire the brain to break through to unlimited superconscious awareness. The book offers many practices: the Hong Sau technique of meditation for deepening concentration, energization exercises for increasing life-force and vitality, methodical introspection techniques for identifying neurally reinforced negative patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior and affirmations for directly rewiring them. These practices will help you bring superconscious awareness into your life that enables, awakens, and supports success, vitality, creativity, health, peace of mind, and lasting, fulfilling happiness.Break Through the Limits of the Brain provides strong scientific support for superconscious awareness; scientific support provided by quantum physics and M-theory for the existence of a subtle, nonlocal reality; a reality in which we exist simultaneously with physical reality; a reality of which we can become aware by breaking through the limits of the brain. The book debunks scientific materialism’s brain-based explanation for consciousness and intelligence—the brain-as-supercomputer model—and explains the view of many prominent and open-minded scientists that an all-pervading intelligent consciousness is not only the source of our own consciousness but also the foundation of reality—an age-old sacred belief shared by saints, sages, mystics, and those who’ve had near-death experiences.Meditation is a central theme of the book—what it is; how to do it; why it works; its physical, mental, and emotional benefits as measured by neuroscientists; and how it rewires the brain for us to experience superconscious awareness and to achieve whatever we put our mind to.

    The origins of Wagadu, known as the Ghana Empire, are deeply rooted in oral traditions, mythology, and historical developments that shaped one of West Africa’s first great civilizations. The Soninke people, the founders of Wagadu, established the empire in a region rich in natural resources, particularly gold. Over centuries, the empire grew into a powerful trading state, controlling key trans-Saharan trade routes and influencing the political and economic landscape of West Africa. 
    According to the oral traditions of the Soninke people, the empire’s foundation is linked to the legend of Dinga Cisse, a mythical leader who is said to have guided his people to the lands of Wagadu. Stories passed down through griots, the custodians of history, describe how Dinga Cisse and his descendants established a ruling dynasty that oversaw the rise of Ghana. These traditions, while not verifiable by modern historical methods, offer insights into the cultural identity and historical memory of the Soninke people. 
    Geographically, the Ghana Empire emerged in what is now southeastern Mauritania and western Mali, an area characterized by vast savannas, river systems, and gold-bearing regions. The Senegal and Niger rivers played a crucial role in sustaining agriculture and facilitating trade. The region's climate, while challenging due to periods of drought, also provided fertile lands that supported farming, livestock, and settlement growth. The natural wealth of Wagadu, particularly its gold mines in Bambuk and Bure, laid the foundation for the empire’s economic dominance.
