I hadn't seen him or spoken to him in a while, as we were in a silly sibling fight. But that morning he was in tremendous pain and didn't feel well. As it turned out, he had advanced colon cancer that had already spread. He was gone 2 months later. Tom was survived by his only son, who was 9-years-old at the time. During the clean-out of his home I found a hard copy of the 'Advice to my Child 'manuscript.

Tom must have known he was not long for this world.Much of his advice was too advanced for a 9-year-old then, but now his teenage son can read for himself and understand his father a little better. My wish is that this manuscript will serve as a discussion point for his son to ask and learn.Also, I hope that this book, will assist other parents to open awkward discussions about the facts of life with their preteen and teenagers. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Leslene della-Madre's book, She Who Spins Creation: Sacred Female Cosmology in the Electric PlasMA Universe, is essential medicine and a much-needed balm for the spirit in these perilous times of toxic masculinity, toxic capitalism, toxic patriarchy, and the perpetuation of the annihilation of women's wisdom and power (also known as the Inquisition) in which female-embodied existence and wisdom continue to be silenced and every attempt to eradicate us, deny our culture, belittle and erase our knowledge continues to unfold. It is also a master class in how to excavate and reclaim female-embodied experience, wisdom, empowerment, and sovereignty. Della-Madre exposes the misogyny inherent in patriarchal myth and science-from physics to molecular biology-delving into the mysteries of matter, the mammalian egg, mythologies of female origins, the Electric Universe, plasMA cosmology, and much, much more. She invites us to awaken to the reality of a truly female cosmology that has always reflected 'as above, so below'-and always will-but that has been denied and subjected to nearly complete erasure in numerous ways by male-dominated realities. In doing so, she invokes us to challenge the amnesia of the ages, question all we have been told about who we are, where we come from, and who we can become. She implores us to 'feel our horns and wings again', and reclaim a world in which we understand that we are all 'electric plasMA beings', intertwined and interconnected, 'in tune with the cosmos, the greater organism.' This is the way to heal the violence that has been done to the Earth, Nature, and women by thousands of years of patriarchal colonization. This book is also a clarion call for action-for women to 're-member our magic and to seek guidance from the ancestral realms to help restore us to whole (holy)ness.' This profound book should be made into a documentary series.' Mary Saracino, author, LAMBDA award finalist.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is Bilingual (English and Spanish)Prologue:This is the Golden Gate of Triumph when written without hesitation with the hope that readers will find on each page a fountain of spiritual teachings that do not affect the faith of those who live in the Love of God. There are two kinds of writers: Those who write for life and those who write for the soul. At each point, there is the suspense of joy that produces a fountain of clear, unbound knowledge without the hypocrisy that often clouds the intrinsic form of spontaneity. Here we are not making a worldly analysis but a spiritual euphoria that will leave in each life the balm enough to transform the soul. These verses, like this index, are not mine; they are inspired by God in my long nights of Worship and Hope. I know there are and will be great skeptics because to believe in it, one needs to be close to God and to understand that divine power cannot be wrong by giving the world what is not the soul's balm. 'Here, end my words, and I begin my poems,' says the Lord.(December 18, 1977, during a cold night in New York)Prologo:Es la puerta de oro del triunfo cuando se escribe sin remilgos con la esperanza puesta en que los lectores encuentren en cada página un manantial de enseñanzas espirituales que no afecten la fe de aquellos que viven en el amor de Dios. Hay dos clases de escritores: los que escriben para la vida y los que escriben para el alma. En cada punto se encuentra el suspenso de la alegría que va produciendo un manantial de conocimientos claros, redondos, sin huecos de hipocresía que es la que enturbia la mayor aparte de las veces la forma intrínseca de los espontáneo. Aquí no se está haciendo un análisis mundanal sino un euforia espiritual que dejará en cada vida el bálsamo suficiente para transformar el alma. Estos versos como este índice, no son mío; son inspirado por Dios en mis largas noches de adoración y esperanzas. Sé que hay y seguirá habiendo grandes escépticos, porque para creer en ello se necesita estar bien cerca de Dios y saber que el poder divino no puede equivocarse dándole al mundo lo que no sea el bálsamo del alma. - 'Aquí terminan mis palabras y doy comienzo a mis poesías', dice el Señor.(Diciembre 18 de 1977, durante una noche fría en New York). …
