In a rapidly polarizing world, Melmin finds his way through dead-ends of following others' expectations during a full naval career, only to discover that happiness is in a deep Spiritual connection - one that he never could have seen coming. Beginning in mid-1988, "Melmin" launched into adulthood fresh from his long high school years by immediately donning the Navy dungarees. His goals were clear: combat, foreign and exotic locales, and maybe a Medal of Honor. Twenty years later he retired with things he never expected. Two failed marriages, a lost young adult child, and a failed attempt at SEAL training brought him face to face with a lifetime of failures and an unknown future. Unsure if he should punch out or push forward, something totally unexpected occurred. Through an abrupt and painfully unwitting renunciation of his entire possessions, he was shown the Light of God and given two choices. Looking back at his life and the "teachers" who showed him the hard way to live, he opts for the path of Knowledge...except it requires a death of ego harder than anything before. Follow along and watch Melmin go from destruction to the ultimate Creation: of an Enlightened being. "A true warrior does not hate his enemy. He is not neutral to his enemy. He loves his enemy as he loves himself. He sees in his enemy a mirror, a reflection of desire to survive and of fear to die in vain. His true enemy, he realizes, is himself." ~Melmin
Im not one to share many stories of my past, other than what might fit into a general conversation. So here's my memoir, a story of a "normal" human life and its vast dramas, secretly hiding a very enlightening Awakening, or activation of my Kundalini. Ive lived many lifetimes just in this one incarnation, in Truth. So heres a list of what, you might say, makes me very good at helping almost anyone through almost any struggle, 3-dimensional and far, far beyond. Ill keep it as specific and brief as possible. Ive survived an abusive childhood, from both parents. That life lesson followed me far into my adulthood and has proven, in fact, to be one of the Grandest Gifts ever. I later had to confront my family, and have come to full recognition of the gifts they gave me, though also realizing those relationship doors are of the past and no longer serve my highest good. By the time I was 18, and leaving my adolescent home behind, I had been in sometimes living in about half of the United States. My 20 years in the Navy from then forward enhanced my quest for adventure, bringing my travels to nearly all of the United States in some form. I lived in Italy, on 2 remote islands off the CA coast, on a small island in the Aleutian Chain nearer Russia, and sailed many of the worlds oceans, visiting a multitude of countries. Ive lived in, or traveled to: Japan (lived there as a kid, then several trips via boat and plane in the Navy), Thailand (in the Navy then on my own with Allison later), Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore (also several times), Australia, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Indonesia, South Korea, Peru, Ecuador, Spain, Portugal, Amsterdam, Bahrain, UAE, Italy, Greece, Laos. Theres a few more that I cant recall now. I excelled at running everything from 100 meters to 26.2 miles, and suffered many injuries including a fully ruptured Achilles from it all. Ive tried polygamy in a marriage. It never worked. A Native American shaman/elder came to me tangibly though in Spirit form when I was just 22 and young in the Navy. A 9-mile long island has shaken heavily from explosives that I detonated. Ive flown high over all parts of the Pacific Ocean, and very low in a Navy helicopter loaded with explosives. Ive jumped out of the same kind of helicopter in flight, to be hoisted back in with full snorkel gear on. I have SCUBA dived or snorkeled off CA islands, in the Mediterranean (Italy and Greece), and in the Gulf of Thailand. I spent a month in the toughest training in the world: SEAL training. 3 years later I attended EOD (bomb disposal) school, only for one week. In Italy I almost had to shoot a man running his vehicle at high speed towards the gates of the base where our families lived. In that same line of duty I helped people with many horrific injuries, almost passing out myself at times. Many car or motorcycle accidents have happened as Ive watched. Ive stopped to help them all and seen a lot of trauma. Ive almost flown out of a rigid hull inflatable boat a couple miles off the CA coast into very choppy waters. My pistol and rifle skills were expert level. I spent years running, surfing, snowboarding, and longboarding (skate) at near-competitive levels. None of them helped the lurking pain deep inside. I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology, a Graduate certificate in Public Affairs and Non-Profit Management from a Big Ten school. And thats what threw me into the real journey of my life.
Fools of Fortune; or, Gambling and Gamblers by John Philip Quinn Pdf

In Fools’ Paradise Nicholas Hagger presented the UK’s attempt to leave the EU under Prime Minister Theresa May in terms of the voyage of Sebastian Brant’s 1494 Ship of Fools heading with a mutinous crew for the illusory, nonexistent paradise of Narragonia. His mock-heroic satirical poem on the political chaos surrounding the most important UK decision since the Second World War is in rhymed heroic couplets, in the tradition of Dryden and Pope. In this sequel, Fools’ Gold, Hagger focuses on the beginning of Boris Johnson’s premiership, the promises that won him the 2019 General Election with an 80-seat majority, and his removal of the UK from the EU, only to be engulfed by the deadly Covid pandemic which has devastated the UK economy. Hagger describes the catastrophic national events in heroic blank verse, which befits the darkening mood. The UK public has been promised a new Golden Age, an age of plenty, and it remains to be seen whether there will be prosperity for all - gold - now that the UK is facing colossal debt outside the EU, or whether the promises will turn out to be worthless iron pyrites: fools’ gold.
Immaculate Deception and Further Ribaldries by Jody Enders Pdf
Did you hear the one about the Mother Superior who was so busy casting the first stone that she got caught in flagrante delicto with her lover? What about the drunk with a Savior complex who was fool enough to believe himself to be the Second Coming? And that's nothing compared to what happens when comedy gets its grubby paws on the confessional. Enter fifteenth- and sixteenth-century French farce, the "bestseller" of a world that stands to tell us a lot about the enduring influence of a Shakespeare or a Molière. It's the sacrilegious world of Immaculate Deception, the third volume in a series of stage-friendly translations from the Middle French. Brought to you through the wonders of Open Access, these twelve engagingly funny satires target religious hypocrisy in that in-your-face way that only true slapstick can muster. There is literally nothing sacred. Why this repertoire and why now? The current political climate has had dire consequences for the pleasures of satire at a cultural moment when we have never needed it more. It turns out that the proverbial Dark Ages had a lighter side; and France's over 200 rollicking, frolicking, singing, and dancing comedies—more extant than in any other vernacular—have waited long enough for their moment in the spotlight. They are seriously funny: funny enough to reclaim their place in cultural history, and serious enough to participate in the larger conversation about what it means to be a social influencer, then and now. Rather than relegate medieval texts to the dustbin of history, an unabashedly feminist translation can reframe and reject the sexism of bygone days by doing what theater always invites us to do: interpret, inflect, and adapt.
