Be a Beacon of Hope in the World

Why does one youngster stab another with a knife which they will never, ever dare to stab themselves with? Why are our young people killing themselves without thinking of the pains and sorrow such barbarism and bestiality will leave their loved ones with for the rest of their lives? Why do some young persons—members of the same community—prey on one another with such jungle-like ferocity in the nation’s cities? Why are there now so many of such gruesome, purposeless, wicked and unwarranted killings in the nation’s cities as if Britain is now a land that devours its children? More worrisome is the fact that when they are hacked to death so young, what happens to their dreams, visions, goals and aspirations?Heart-rending as these painful questions are, Be a Beacon of Hope in the World: A Message to Young Britain does not attempt to offer answers to these puzzles arising from the untimely deaths of Britain’s children through knifings. However, it seeks to act as a guidepost, compass and a Sat Nav to point young persons in the right direction and on the path of civility, decency, common sense, humaneness and universal altruism, whereupon they are expected to have respect: for themselves, for others and for all of life’s forms. Therefore, let the alarm bell, which this book will trigger, warn all young persons in Britain and the world over that to live in the fast lane is to die young. Let this message reverberate through the vista of time.

Politics, Bullies and You

We are all born unique, our own energy making up a part of our shared universe; through education, society and the status quo, we soon become normal. We are all part of a system, one that, at times, does not work to our advantage. It’s time to open all our minds, go to sleep and listen to our dreams, learning through the night. Politics, bullies, wars, guns, famine and popups, the world needs none of that, but it does need you.

This is a story about my life, my eight-year journey through a broken system, a citizen to a government who ignored me. I stopped playing and started working, only to find myself abused by my superiors. I developed epilepsy, which led to either a mental breakdown or a spiritual awakening. Life’s like a movie, write your own ending, keep believing and keep pretending, that’s what I’ve always set out to do.

Two Mice

“How many times have you asked yourself if you are on the right path in life and wondered if your direction will lead you to happiness? Are you the lively mouse, so focused on your goals that you sometimes feel as if you never stop to live? Or the thoughtful mouse, so busy listening to others that you feel like you are losing yourself? Two Mice is a short, metaphorical story about finding your way in a complicated world. It aims to help you gain some perspective about your choices and to see the bigger picture in life.”

Sam Boundy.

Lose (and find!) yourself in this lively, metaphorical story which follows two mice looking for the big cheese.

Through different characters and insights into what drives them in life, this story will help show you that meaning is all around us and goals do not need to be chased for goals’ sake. Whether you are a fresh graduate, a job changer or someone looking for an entertaining read, this book is for you.

What Does It Mean To Be Human?

In the absence of divine direction, how do we decide for ourselves the behaviours that would best serve our own interests, and those of other creatures, and of the planet as a whole? What might we turn to and draw upon to help us in making our own rules and in establishing our own moral principles?

Won't Stop Moving

Sometimes the answer isn’t to be the rock in the river, letting the water wash over you. Sometimes the answer is to be the leaf, floating down the stream and rolling with the constant change that is life.

Won’t Stop Moving is designed to help you remember the lessons that you have forgotten to remember. This book gives you the opportunity to remind yourself of what you already know, deep in your soul. You can’t stop moving, and you won’t stop moving, growing and evolving.

This is an oracle book. It works like oracle cards, but rather than shuffling, turn to the page number you’re called to, and receive a message that you are ready to learn or remember.

Or read the book sequentially. Or front to back, back to front, inside out or outside in. Read it upside down if you want, but I wouldn’t recommend it. You choose. You will be called to the lessons you need. Trust the process. Trust your instincts.

50 Letters from Spirit

50 Letters. 50,000 Daily Thoughts. One Call to Awaken.In 2013, Patricia McDowall started an unusual journey. She became more deeply aware that she was a living spirit in a physical body with a conscious mind, working her way through life to evolve her soul. This sensitivity to a more developed divine existence was taught by her initial spirit guide. But to her surprise, this guide took a physical step back from Patricia’s life. A new guide, Marsilio, marched forward and told the author that they would write a book together. Their joined wisdom would use Patricia’s hand and Marsilio’s thoughts from his time in Renaissance, Italy. Through this rare and previously unexplored path, 50 Letters, A Call to Awaken was created.It is a holistic guide that addresses both the external and internal, and it speaks to mind, body and soul. McDowall offers messages to the world, to humanity, to you – the reader – with love.

Mojovive

This book challenges you to question yourself: are you the Chief Negativity Officer of your own life, and your own mojo assassin?

It also challenges you to take responsibility for yourself, to break yourself out of stale routines, and to finally be in charge of your own destiny. Mostly importantly, it demands that you never quit on yourself until you blossom into all your crowning splendour and glory.

Pathways to Paradise

All is well when intelligence is used intelligently. Salvation is the ability which we all possess to come to terms with spiritual reality. To fully comprehend life and our obligations to it, we should seek to understand what obligations we owe to God and humanity. We should seek guidance from our immortal soul, which is of God and from God. The mind of mankind has, to an overwhelming degree, become conditioned to acquisition of material wealth. The inescapable fact is, there is no tow bar on a hearse.

The Mastery of Life

This book analyses and provides insights into eight key parts of a meaningful life, which when mastered, will make big difference in your life. Due to the complexity of our biological make up, it’s almost impossible to cover all relevant topics without losing focus on what’s important. The aim is to give you a starting point so that you can ask yourself questions about who you really are and what you need to do to be the best you can be. Normally, that is only possible by understanding basic holistic principles of your being, such as interaction of your mind, body and consciousness for the creation of the perfection that you are. The main reason is that everything comes from within and everything you will ever need resides right within you and nowhere else. This means that if you want something, look no further than yourself. Because whatever you desire, you already have it within you and when you become consciously aware of it, the universe has no other choice but to abide by your desire.

This book provides you with the starting point of your journey into self-awareness. Here is the brief summary of the topics covered: understanding your thoughts and dreams; the complex relationship of your thoughts and emotions; causes of stress; living in now; the power of self-belief; effective communication; relationships and understanding your body.

Naturally, it will take many books and volumes to truly depict principles behind the mastery of life, but every journey starts with one small step and maybe this book represents that step; the step that will ultimately lead you to master your own life.

The Mirror of Meditations

The purpose of this book is to reflect on a variety of common questions. Common, but difficult questions. What is the self? What does it mean to be conscious? What is morality made of? Is there logic in morality? Can reason alone justify moral action?

To answer such questions, this book does three things. To begin, it examines what the human mind is and what it is not. Then it examines how one might construct a moral system grounded only in observation and reason. Lastly, it examines by what means one may employ the mind towards morality.
