One of the most challenging tasks we face is to learn to become nonjudgmental, thereby disentangling ourselves from both emotionally charged situations as well as from the collective intellectual mindset of laws, rules and dogma. The way of nonjudgment is the way to remembering the sacredness of all life. If you are to experience your own freedom and resolution, so, too, must you learn how to love yourself and others. In responding to people with love and compassion, you readily move from conflict to harmony. When you remember, embrace and share your divinity, you free others to walk their...

Living The Jedi Way is a volume that engages the reader in a discussion surrounding Jediism. Focusing on the symbolism found within the Star Wars movies, it is well know that a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. One must always be cautious, therefore, against anger, fear and aggression because fear is the path to the dark side, meaning that fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering. In determining the good side from the bad, a Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, but never for attack. Remaining calm and at peace, while engaging in both rational thought...

The Vicar of Christ, or Vicarius Christi, is a term, in keeping with the Papacy, that generally refers to the earthly representative of God or Christ; a most specific term (first appearing in the 5th century) used in reference to the Bishop of Rome (also known as the Pope). This author, while setting the historical stage, believes that all can aspire to becoming a Vicar of Christ. Clearly, then, this can be viewed as the end goal for each of us; one based on both enlightenment and transcendence.

A story that encompasses both historical and metaphysical fact, weaved into a fictitious tale, Michaela Callaghan, known affectionately as Dr. Mike, is a Metaphysician, Healtheologist and Past-Life Regressionist. In the course of her personal studies, she comes to remember a past life as a Cathar healer and herbalist in Beziers, France. With pictures and memories so vivid, painting them comes both easily and naturally, as does heartache, in the remembrance of Jonathan (Jon) Maguire, her Sidhe companion, with the most amazingly deep emerald green eyes, framed by the darkest, curliest, lashes;...

Following the St. Germain-en-Laye Treaty of March 29, 1632, it was by order of Cardinal Richelieu (Minister of State to King Louis XIII), that Commander Isaac de Razilly came to re-occupy the colony; so, too, did Germain Doucet (Sieur de La Verdure), the progenitor of this author's family, accompany him. Sailing from France on July 4, 1632, they arrived with a variety of livestock, seeds, tools, implements, arms, munitions, and other supplies, at La Have (LaHeve), located at the mouth of the La Have River in present day Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, on September 8. In keeping with the forced...

Genevieve Massignon, author of Les Parlers Francais d'Acadie, sought to establish the origins of the French Acadian people based on linguistics, making the argument, in 1961, that many Acadians came from the Poitou region, south of Loudun, mainly because they were still speaking the old language, one rich and thick of Rabelais and Montaigne. She was also able to locate a number of records from the Poitou area that bore many of the same surnames found in early Acadie. Some of the villages in this area include Martaize, Aulnay, and La Chaussee. As a young man, Vincent Breau had been recruited...

The early Acadian settlers were mostly farmers. Farms were located along the banks of rivers that flowed into the Baie Francaise (Bay of Fundy) with Grand-Pre being the great agricultural area of the colony. Rather than clear the uplands, the Acadians drained the marshes along bays and rivers by building dykes (large, tall mounds of earth covered with grass) and aboiteaux (drainage systems with trap doors that let water out, but not back in) to keep sea water out. An amazing people, the Mothers of Acadia mtDNA Project is serving to paint a picture of the wondrous mtDNA diversity amongst the...
