  "What can we do amidst all the controversies over race and gender in society today? Do we have anything constructive to offer the world? As Jesus's followers, we do, and this book shows the way. A dangerous and revolutionary philosophy is responsible for the street fires in America. It fuels the actions of Black Lives Matter and Antifa. It invades curricula in public schools and in our military. It is in our churches. You have heard the phrase “white privilege,” the need for “safe spaces” on campuses, and perhaps the tongue-twister “intersectionality.” Behind all of these is an ideology called critical theory, which is a form of cultural Marxism that divides society into the oppressed and the oppressors. It claims that America is “systemically racist” and founded on slavery. It believes that the voices of minorities should trump the perspective of dominant culture. Unfortunately, this flawed perspective is overtaking our culture and infiltrating many of our churches. In this book, we consider the importance of critical theory, explain its origins, question its aims, and subject it to a logical critique. Listeners will -Gain a better understanding of critical theory; -See how it is permeating many aspects of society; -Discover how it opposes a Christian worldview; -Learn how to counter it constructively. A biblical alternative to matters of justice and politics is available, one that is right and true, one based on the ideals of the American founding. Find it in these pages."

  Polynesian Mythology - Legends...

  Polynesian mythology is a vast and intricate tapestry of stories, gods, and legendary heroes that have shaped the cultures of the Pacific Islands for centuries. Spanning across a region known as the Polynesian Triangle—bounded by Hawaii, New Zealand (Aotearoa), and Easter Island (Rapa Nui)—these myths have been passed down through generations via oral tradition. Each island group has its own variations, yet many of the themes, characters, and cosmic beliefs remain deeply connected, reflecting a shared ancestry and worldview.  
    
  At the heart of Polynesian mythology is a deep reverence for nature and the forces that shape the world. The ocean, sky, and land are not merely elements of the physical environment but sacred entities, often personified by gods and spirits. The vast Pacific, for example, is not only a means of travel but also a living force, ruled by deities like Tangaroa, the god of the sea. The sun, moon, stars, and winds play crucial roles in these legends, guiding great navigators and influencing the balance of life.  
    
  Oral tradition is the foundation of Polynesian storytelling. Before the arrival of writing, myths and legends were preserved through chants, songs, and performances. Storytellers, often elders or priests, ensured that each retelling remained faithful to tradition while also adapting to the audience and setting. This fluidity allowed myths to evolve while maintaining their core meanings. Through these stories, people learned about their ancestry, moral values, and the origins of their world.

  Tonight on Television - The...

  What’s considered the worst crime and who’s the most hated person in America? Most would say child sexual abuse and the pedophile. The principle’s everywhere. How do we normally deal with it? To put it poetically: to go over Thor’s face in the United States and overlook God, the truth of the matter, repeat the vampire. Tonight on Television, a book of poetry, goes to the heart of the matter, the creation of the pedophile and proposes stopping the process where it starts, which is in the caring for of infants and toddlers. It employs the ideal of oneness, non-duality, instead of the formula of crime and punishment, in dealing with that, how it addresses the whole issue, paying particular attention to the hatred of the pedophile and the damage that does to society, which is not only the proliferation of child sex abuse, which, it must be said, the poem aims to stop. I’m the fellow, aren’t I? I’ve spent many years studying the issue, first in university, where, after getting a BA in English and minor in History (University of Houston, 1988), I spent three and a half years learning Classical Greek, translating Greek poetry into English verse, not only to learn the writing of poetry, but to access knowledge on ancient Greek sexuality in particular and on the formation of the human ego and sexual orientation in general, doing a self-study on the latter two by reading extensively in a variety of pertinent subjects. Then I did an unorthodox fieldwork for several years after Ieaving college in 1993, becoming a vagabond first in the United States and then the world, spending 10 years living in over 27 countries on 4 continents, during which time I paid particular attention to what when down in the families I lived with, as, being an adventure traveler, I usually lived and worked with the local population. You don't believe an autodidact can be an expert? Hey, I’m not just the One, whom everybody is; I’m the one to show you the world.
