Sparkle Phillips' last boy friend dumped her flat, and that was the best thing he ever did for her. That break up sent Sparkle's life into a tail spin where she was forced to re-examine what had been happening with her and her relationship with the opposite sex for the past 45 years.

Sparkle went through an amazingly revealing process that helped her destroy all the old programming she had about men and figure out why every relationship she'd had with men were basically carbon copies of each other. Once the culprit had been found, the false foundation of 'love' in her life was released and rebuilt. Now she is happily married to a man who can only be described as her soul mate and her partner in love, life, work and more.

Sparkle is a systems analyst. So being an observer, seeing patterns and determining solutions is what she does for a living and she does it well. When she realized her experience actually had duplicatable steps, she decided to re-live and re-analyze the steps it took her to release the past so that she could embrace the future. Her story is funny, insightful and very identifiable. If you're still having troubles in your love life, then this book will give you "Aha Moments" and help you realize some of the false foundations you've built your love life on.

Whether you're a man or woman - looking for a man or a woman, these principles apply.

It is an easy read, loaded with humor and epiphanies. Enjoy...

• Would you like to experience love without effort or attachment?
• Would you like to experience life apart from the experience you are creating?
• Would you like to be who you are independent of how others are around you?
• Would you like to keep abuse from shaping who you are and what you become?
• Would you like to know what is true when any act of faith affirms your belief?

Our social structure rewards us for how we think and what we do but gives little if any support for who and what we are. Most of us live our lives without ourselves, motivated by achievement, social position and survival - having low esteem for our own personal value. The Self guides us through the societal snares that reinforce themselves and bind us up in reaction. It supports us in experiencing our autonomous self - free of the conditioning of culture. The turning point for David Hoefer was meeting his metaphysical teacher. He began observing the social structure - how our attitudes continue from a primitive past, a great anthill of deeds and beliefs reinforcing themselves - automating our reactions to life. He quit VA Drug/Alcohol counseling, suspended psychology studies, and began working as a handyman. His teacher advised, "As a freelancer you are on the social structure periphery - better able to observe its influence and origins - less insulated from your attitudes - life more readily teaches you who you are and what you are about." He holds a BA in Psychology from Arizona State, a diploma from California Lutheran Bible School, and has independently studied metaphysics, epistemology, eastern and new-age religion. He says, "Awareness, wisdom and maturity are best supported in leaderless sharing groups in which every participant becomes the teacher/guru, and every sharing relates to what is arising now."

The Earth holds its own values and applies them in its unfolding.

The lessons of simplicity, connectedness, embracing change and balance, that we find in nature are not accidental and we can use them to enrich our life experience.

We are moving steadily and with the shock of awakening into a new realm of deeper questions that center on the nature of who we are. It is a realm where the people and places are the same but our perceptions are vastly different.

Making the decision to use hospice is one of the most important final decision you'll ever make. Hospice is a blessing to those who avail themselves of the service. It is also a service to help their families and loved ones. However, as wonderful as hospice and its services are, the decision to use hospice is not a simple one. It, by its very nature, is an emotionally difficult decision to make. Because of our professional and personal experience with hospice, we were called to write this book to help you.


Dr. Seiden's expertise with hospice is two fold, through over 40 years of medical practice, advising patients and their families in making their final decisions and more important, from the knowledge he gained when his mother-in-law entered hospice and five years later when his own wife of 48 years entered hospice at the end of her battle with lung cancer.

Dr. Bilett's expertise comes from over 30 years in private practice in clinical psychology, and her experience dealing with the stresses of patients and their families facing their terminal time and the grief that follows for those family members and loved ones who must move on after the loss of their loved one.

The miracle of its survival was predicted - guaranteed.

The written history of the House of Avraham has been born out by the pick and shovel of 20th century archeology. To doubt its validity in the face of all the evidence is foolishness. But maybe I'm mistaken for perhaps the family of fools is even older than the House of Avraham.

Like every family, the House of Avraham is a mixed lot. There have always been a few who saw little value in the birthright - tried denying it - -gave it up - but seldom with success or to their own benefit. Others faced agony, torture, death - rather than give it up. Those who survived hopefully found their reward; those who perished - who knows what prize awaited them for their sufferings. Such are the things faith is made of.

It was predicted. It has come to pass.

"I can't kill Nazis if I'm dead. . ." Solomon Shalensky

After researching the transcripts of the Nuremburg Trials and interviewing 'The Remnant' or Jewish survivors of the holocaust, many still living in Israel; Othniel Seiden was compelled to write their startling and remarkable stories of World War II. In this stunning and compelling historical novel about the Jews who were able to remain free and fight, Seiden documents their survival, their suffering, their missions and their guerrilla warfare tactics against the Nazi occupation forces.

Also, well documented, the tragedy of Kiev and now infamous ravine of Babi Yar where it is thought that nearly a million people, Jews and non-Jews alike were massacred. These brave few escaped the certain death of their co-religionists by acts of bravery and sheer determination to live. The myth that the Jewish people "went to their deaths like sheep to slaughter. . ." is put to rest forever in the stories of "The Remnant."

The Remnant is Othniel Seiden's fourth historical fiction novel following The Survivor of Babi Yar, The Capuchin, and The Cartographer - 1492.

A New Mythology
for the 21st Century

We have known how to fly for centuries...

Long ago, Daedalus invented wings, showing us that it could be done. He made two pair of them, one for himself and one for his son. It was a truly wonderful gift.

The old legend tells of a father and son flying together, out over the sea on a beautiful warm day long ago, and of a story of loss that Deadalus told when he finished the flight. We seem to have collectively decided to stay on the ground ever since, but why? There was so much more to the story that Daedalus did not tell.

Daedalus Rising completes the myth, telling The True Story of Icarus and revealing an ancient mystery whose time has finally come.

Daedalus Rising brings to light what really happened in the sky that day, recasting and recreating the meaning of an old myth through the telling of the story of a son's quest and of the father who cared deeply about him.

It is a story of initiation and growth, and of the power of wings.

• Daedalus Rising is an elegant read. All the while you're reading it, you feel like you're doing yourself a favor!
• It is a wonderful story and this re-telling of the myth leaves you hopeful instead of the original half-myth told to this point in time which left you mournful.
• I highly recommend this book for anyone and everyone... Everyone can appreciate it. ~EJ Thornton, author of Angel On Board
