How to Escape from Hell

How to Escape from Hell: Studies & Interpretations of the Afterlife explores one of humanities most important questions, “What happens when we die, what is Hell, and am I going there?”

A near-death experience (NDE) is a profound personal experience associated with death or impending death. It is estimated between 4 to 15% of our entire global population experience an NDE. This equates to around 20 million people in the US, 50 million in Europe and 100 million in China. Only a small fraction of these experiences are ever reported. Of these reports, a small but notable number report the horrifying and graphic realm of Hell and demons.

Are you destined for Hell? If you are, what can you do about it? If you find yourself in Hell, how do you escape? Through extensive research of thousands of witness accounts, we will find the answer together.

How to Lead a School

Targeted primarily at those running a school, or contemplating doing so, this book talks frankly about the pleasures and pitfalls of the job, common to all schools across the world. Each chapter considers in detail the different constituencies a Principal or Head will encounter.

The book endorses good practice, highlights some tricks of the trade, asks questions to provoke thinking, and includes imaginary case studies.

Covid-19 may have disrupted conventional ways of education but has not significantly re-defined school leadership. Rather, it has put even greater pressure on school leaders to meet the demands of their existing constituencies. So this is a handy ‘go-to’ guide, written from experience of over 20 years in senior leadership, as a school inspector and as a member of several school boards.

It’s not another manual on leadership theory because it concentrates on immediate practical responses to the landscape a school leader will face, including a final chapter on personal well-being and how to survive the unexpected.

Meanwhile, Helga yearns to recapture her youth, but her grandchildren’s concerns weigh heavily on her. She confronts the harsh reality that people often judge based solely on appearances, and her desires clash with the expectations placed upon her.

Within the pages of How to Save You from You, a web of interconnected lives unravels, revealing the interplay between past and present, fame and anonymity. Jenna, haunted by the repercussions of her widely acclaimed book, How to Save You from You, realizes that her newfound fame has unforeseen consequences, threatening to shape her future in unexpected ways.

Human Model

In Human Model, Dr. Issam Wadi summarises and explains more than 40 years of professional and academic research into human and social behaviour. He examines important aspects in our lives by showing how human and social systems are deeply influenced by universal, natural processes. He shows how research in the natural and social sciences can help to illuminate complex human processes, using friction theory to explain how human beings relate to one another, how resonance theory provides us with a better understanding of mass behaviour, advertising, and marketing, and how feedback theory explains human behaviour from a management perspective.

Drawing these parallels between natural and human systems helps to illustrate the way that human beings are embedded within larger, natural processes, as well as supplying a much clearer and easy to understand approach for readers and researchers. With the starting blocks in place, one can then begin to use proven scientific theories and social models to develop more sophisticated analyses and studies of complex social behaviour, from mass movements and crowd psychology to financial markets and economic forecasting.

This book is an important milestone in the modelling and understanding of human social behaviour and aims to contribute both to a broader mainstream understanding of these fields and further research through these versatile social modelling tools. Human Model also explains the author’s own ‘Zero Sum Theory’ for explaining happiness in life and how this can be affected by the individual’s own mental models, while providing further reflections on the impact of technology on modern life, social behaviour, the family, and society more broadly.

Humanity

Many of the difficulties we face in life are within ourselves. It is the constant war within that exhausts so many people. If we are to make our way to higher ground, we must come to terms with the many weaknesses of the human condition. Arrogance, that sense of superiority, greed, and envy are just a few. We must reach out beyond these things to the soul of the being if we are to have any hope of finding who we are. If we make contact, we will find a spiritual space where we can thrive, where we can expand our horizons, come to terms with, except that we are just one part of nature journeying through the greater scheme of things. To accept is to be at one. It is not easy, in many ways, we are groping in the dark, not sure what we want, not sure that we want to find it. This is where humanity is stationed. For what it is worth, I believe we are part of something greater. Something beyond our human comprehension. That is what this collection of poetry is about. Reaching out to that something; that something other.

Humble Beginnings

This is a simple tale of a family of eight children (six girls and eventually two boys) who lived in a village in South Devon.

There are some aspects of this story that will make you laugh and plenty that will make you think, but I hope that you will persevere and read on until you get to the “gems” at the end of the main story - they will certainly give you something to consider. They are not fantasy, nor wishful thinking - they are all true!

Here are just a few highlights, there are many, many more:

• A child’s unswerving belief in her best “friend”
• The end of a cherished swimsuit
• The German doctor who became Sheila’s saviour
• Moments of fame in a talent competition
• Adventures with Georgina the goat
• How Sheila and Ivor dealt with the “Agricultural Lease” attached to their property
• The merits and unbelievable talents of Sheila’s Husband Ivor
• The wonderful Soul Rescues (because of COVID) that even now are taking place
• Successful spiritual healings and Sheila’s Mother’s “out-of-body” experience (not to be missed!)

This story is a mixture of magic in a way - not the Harry Potter kind but real magic - certainly, a lot of sadness but tons and tons of happiness also but read it and realise that life is for living and that passing (there is no death) is something to look forward to, not to dread.  

Please read my story – you will be glad you did!
