This week the I am reading from Stephen Hawley Martin's book 'You Are Eternal: Infinite Tomorrows Await You' and Graeme Rendall's book 'Intercept and Identify: Aerial UFO Encounters, 1953-1954'.Stephen Hawley MartinWhat if you knew for certain that you are an eternal spiritual being that is temporarily residing in a kind of spacesuit—aka a human body—that allows you to operate in this reality, and that there are other, nonphysical realities you will go to when your spacesuit wears out? What if you knew that if you get bored in nonphysical reality, you could choose to come back to this one? Would that change how you think about life? Would it change your behavior? The author relates a theory that explains what reality is really all about, and he relates the facts that back it up. Not only does it explain what caused the Big Bang and how life on earth came to be, it makes clear that faith is not required to believe your consciousness will continue after your body dies. It also indicates that you possess what likely has been until now undreamed of power.BioBestselling author Stephen Hawley Martin has had a half dozen titles achieve bestseller status on Amazon.com and is the only three-time winner of the Writer's Digest Book Award, having won first prize twice for fiction and once for nonfiction. He also has won a first prize for visionary fiction from Independent Publisher and a first prize for nonfiction from USA Book News. In all, he has written seventeen books under his own name and has ghostwritten a half dozen more.For two years, he hosted a successful weekly Internet talk radio show, “The Truth about Life,” which averaged 30,000 listener downloads per episode.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2J6HST6https://www.shmartin.com/Graeme RendallIn the aftermath of two weekends in July 1952 when airspace over the American capital was filled with strange lights and radar contacts, the US Air Force sought to shut down the UFO issue, falling back on "identifications" such as balloons, weather anomalies and cockpit reflections. Yet the following two years saw numerous reports being filed about encounters with strange objects and lights in the skies over the United States - and elsewhere around the world. This book looks at pilot and aircrew sightings from 1953 and 1954 - two years' worth of incredible reports from across the globe involving fighter jet and transport crews, airliner captains and private pilots. Many witness statements were dismissed in favour of explanations that simply don't make sense when referring back to the only evidence - the testimony itself. This new book continues the author's look at aerial UFO encounters during the 1940s and 1950s - and the fevered attempts behind the scenes to explain the problem, and when that wasn't possible, to diminish its importance entirely.BioGraeme Rendall is a full time author and a commentator on the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) issue. He is also a contributor to the "The Debrief", an American news website dealing with cutting edge science, tech and defence news, and a frequent guest on various podcasts looking at UAP. He also writes articles on the subject for UAP Media UK. Between 1990 and 1992, he was the Editor of an amateur aviation magazine. Graeme has written a critically-acclaimed work looking at the "Foo-Fighters" witnessed during World War Two and the numerous wartime cases that occurred before the term was coined in November 1944. He has been an aviation and World War Two history enthusiast from an early age, when he was given Airfix model aircraft kits "to keep him quiet". Married to Jo, he lives in rural Northumberland, between the beach and the hills.https://www.reivercountrybooks.com/https://www.amazon.com/Intercept-Identify-Aerial-Encounters-1953-1954-ebook/dp/B0C1W7ZB9T/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1684404400&sr=8-1https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/pastlivespodcasthttps://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast

On June 19, 1864, a fourteen-month chase culminated in one of the most dramatic naval battles in history. The dreaded Confederate raider Alabama faced the Union warship Kearsarge in an all-or-nothing fight to the death, and the outcome would effectively end the threat of the Confederacy on the high seas. Award-winning and bestselling historians Phil Keith (who was a US Navy Captain) and Tom Clavin share this riveting, mostly untold, story in To the Uttermost Ends of the Earth: The Epic Hunt for the South's Most Feared Ship―and the Greatest Sea Battle of the Civil War (Hanover Square Press). Informed by comprehensive research, extensive photos, maps, and the authors' expertise, the book is a fresh blend of military, naval, and Civil War history. The authors' last book, All Blood Runs Red, was a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice, and praised by the Christian Science Monitor, Booklist, and more, and the pair are known for gripping yet substantiative narratives. In To the Uttermost Ends of the Earth, Keith and Clavin introduce some of the crucial but historically overlooked Civil War players, including John Winslow, captain of the USS Kearsarge, as well as Raphael Semmes, captain of the CSS Alabama. Readers will sail aboard the Kearsarge as Winslow embarks for Europe with a set of simple orders from the secretary of the navy: "Travel to the uttermost ends of the earth, if necessary, to find and destroy the Alabama." Winslow pursued Semmes in a spectacular fourteen-month chase over international waters, culminating in what would become the climactic sea battle of the Civil War. Today: The Confederate raider currently lies in French territorial waters and is the focus of a transcontinental salvage effort to raise funds for dives at the site, the recovery of artifacts, and more historical research. While parts of it have been brought up, most of the ship still lies on the ocean floor. Most Civil War narratives focus on the battles fought on land, but To the Uttermost Ends of the Earth is a riveting, deep dive into the greatest sea battle of the war. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Phil Keith (1946-2021) was the author of six books, including Blackhorse Riders, which won the 2012 award from USA Book News for Best Military Non-Fiction, was a finalist for the 2013 Colby Award, and earned a 2013 silver medal from Military Writers Society of America. He held a degree in history from Harvard and was a former Navy aviator. During three tours in Vietnam, he served with distinction and was awarded, among other decorations, the Purple Heart, Air Medal, Presidential Unit Citation, and the Navy Commendation Medal. Tom Clavin is the author of eighteen nonfiction books and has worked as a newspaper editor, magazine writer, TV and radio commentator, and reporter for The New York Times covering a variety of topics. His two most recent books, Blood and Treasure: Daniel Boone and the Fight for America's First Frontier (with Bob Drury) and Lightning Down: A World War II Story of Survival, were national bestsellers. Other bestselling titles include Dodge City, The Heart of Everything That Is, Tombstone, and The Last Stand of Fox Company. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steve-richards/support

The Salem Witch hysteria swept New England in the 17th century but it wasn't really fully about witches. It was about the power of belief. That power was so strong that the fear resulting from it caused normal people - judges, clergymen, shop-owners, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and all alike to believe in the irrational, illogical, and obtuse sensationalized belief that their neighbors and friends were witches.  On today's Halloween Special, author Stephen Hawley Martin (Episode 65 Life After Death) joins us for a second time to discuss his new book, The Witch of Amesbury, the idea of belief, and all things witches.  Stephen has unique insight that no one else does regarding witches (one in particular), so saddle up on your broomstick and be ready to be regaled about witches like you never have before.  Stephen Hawley Martin is the author of more than three-dozen books, including five novels, half a dozen business management titles, and a number of self-help books and metaphysical investigations.

— Did the Witch of Amesbury have anything to do with creating the GEICO Gecko? And the famous slogan, “Virginia is for Lovers?” — Stephen Hawley Martin, a former principal of the international ad firm behind those and other campaigns you have seen on television says he believes she actually played a role. He says that being the direct descendant of someone who was hanged for witchcraft, and hearing about it frequently while growing up, caused him and his brother David, who co-founded the firm, to think differently about the world and reality, and to take more risks than most people would. Those characteristics, Stephen says, can lead not only to creating a successful business, but to advertising that breaks through the clutter. Valeria Teles interviews Stephen Hawley Martin — the author of “The Witch of Amesbury & Matriarch of an Advertising Dynasty.” Bestselling author Stephen Hawley Martin has had a more than half dozen titles achieve bestseller status on Amazon.com and is the only three-time winner of the Writer's Digest Book Award, having won first prize twice for fiction and once for nonfiction.

In all, he has written seventeen books under his own name and has ghostwritten a half dozen more, including a memoir for a $2.5 billion in sales tech company CEO, a bestselling business management title for another tech company CEO, and two titles for consultants in the Six Sigma and Lean Production arena.

We are all part of one mind, a great energy gestalt, and we are connected at the level of the collective unconsciousness. Each individual aspect of the gestalt has its own electrical system, its own vibration rate, and interacts with all other aspects. Thus, we are all connected to one another and to a central point. On a higher self or psychic level, it is possible for anyone to tune in to anyone else and to draw upon the entire gestalt. Humankind takes advancing steps when group consciousness reaches critical mass and new awareness is accepted by the whole. Everything begins as a thought or idea. Ideas and experiences create beliefs that in turn, create your reality. If you are unhappy with your current reality, you must change your beliefs and your behavior. Beliefs can be changed when you recognize which ones are not working for you. Change that belief, and your life will change. With respect to changing your behavior, you must decide the disharmonious behavior you need to eliminate. Then realize you don't have to change how you feel about it, you simply have to change what you are doing. The Buddha knew what he was talking about when he said, “Your resistance to what is causes your suffering.” I do not think Earth is our home. After forty years of study and having re- searched and written more than a dozen books on related subjects, it is clear to me Spirit is our true home, and we each are here on Earth on a journey that had a beginning and will have an end. Regardless of your religious beliefs or lack thereof, you came from Spirit, and you will return to Spirit. – Says: Stephen Hawley Martin   In this episode, Valeria Teles interviews Stephen.

This two book volume contains the author's bestselling title, “Life After Death, Powerful Evidence You Will Never Die” and the sequel, “Life After Death Book II: Heaven, Hell & You,” thereby revealing what everyone living today needs to know about life after death. Book One lays out indisputable evidence the brain does not create your consciousness, and that when your body dies, your consciousness will be released into a mental realm. It explains what you can expect to experience during the first minutes until you come to a border near death survivors agree is a point of no return. Book Two will lead you past that border to explore that Shakespeare called, “The undiscovered country,” a mental realm each individual creates for him or herself. It also makes suggestions about actions to take now to insure the best possible outcome after death Bestselling author Stephen Hawley Martin has had a half dozen titles achieve bestseller status on Amazon.com and is the only three-time winner of the Writer's Digest Book Award, having won first prize twice for fiction and once for nonfiction.

How does one walk out of an endeavor and successfully pick it up again somewhere along the way? Steve Olsher is an entrepreneur, CEO, author and podcaster. Today he talks about failures and successes, how to come back from losses, and how Chicago almost killed him. “I look like I do a lot but I implement what I call strategic abandon, which is just getting a lot of things done in a very efficient and cost-effective manner.” - Steve Olsher Three Things We Learned Walking away from something you built At some point in his entrepreneurial journey, Steve and his team got blinded by the dot-com light and Wall Street's take on domains. They signed away management rights, but in March 2000, it became clear that the people working behind the project failed. Steve walked away from the domain after spending nine years building the company, a scary piece of his life. A restart on an abandoned endeavor When the company ended up tanking and getting buried, he walked away and got into real estate development instead to build up a portfolio of millions of dollars in product. But one day, the Wall Street Journal headline read that domain prices were approaching pre-bubble valuations. And so Steve began his search for the buyer of the domain. Reinventing a dream It wasn't until Christmas Eve of 2006 when the buyer sent Steve an e-mail with detailed instructions on how to reclaim his domain. While it was bound to raise suspicions, Steve went along with the offer, sending login credentials that weren't attached to anything. By some miracle, he got exactly what was promised in under a grand total of five minutes. Steve received several offers to buy his domain and one in particular bailed after a couple of installments. From there, he took the site and his capital, actively seeking out people he could work with. Everything is going well, despite the inevitable moments when they don't see eye-to-eye and the company's happy ending that has yet to be written.

Nathan J. Winograd and friend This is a fascinating and wide-ranging history of the no-kill shelter movement in America, told by a man who helped create much of that history. The number of animal lives that Nathan's work and influence have saved over the past two decades is certainly in the millions. I would not be doing this program -- or rescuing animals -- if I had never met Nathan Winograd, who will be on this week to talk about the progress that has been made during the 14 years since he founded the No Kill Advocacy Center. Here is where we will start and work backward: Sheltering in the United States at a Glance:* About 6 million animals enter shelters every year. Approximately two million animals are killed. Roughly 30 million acquire a new companion animal every year. Only 1% of shelter animals are irremediably suffering. Over one million people live in communities saving between 98% and 99% of dogs and cats in their shelters (over two million saving at least 98% of dogs). Over 10 million people live in communities saving between 90% and 99% of dogs and cats in their shelters.  Over 50 million people live in communities saving at least 80% of dogs and cats in their shelters.​​ * courtesy of the No Kill Advocacy Center. Nathan J. Winograd is a graduate of Stanford Law School, a former criminal prosecutor and corporate attorney, has spoken nationally and internationally on animal sheltering issues, has written animal protection legislation at the state and national level, has created successful No Kill programs in both urban and rural communities, and has consulted with a wide range of animal protection groups including some of the largest and best known in the nation. His work has been featured widely in such publications as Newsweek, Reader’s Digest, USA Today, and newspapers from all over the country. He has appeared on Fox News, CNN, ABC, and other radio and television affiliates around the country. His creation of the country’s first No Kill community was named one of the Top 100 achievements in the nation by Metropolitan Home in its “Best of the Best” issue. And The Bark magazine calls him “the voice of America’s displaced pets and the conscience of the animal sheltering industry.” His book, Redemption, is the most critically acclaimed book on the topic in the United States and the winner of five national book awards. As a nationally recognized speaker, Nathan has spoken at national animal welfare conferences from coast to coast. He has spoken internationally as well, in Canada, in Australia, and New Zealand, and has been invited to speak all over the world, including Ireland and the Czech Republic. He has also lectured on animal sheltering ethics to students at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, the nation’s number one ranked veterinary school, and has lectured at the U.C.L.A. School of Law on animal law issues. In various leadership positions, including Director of Operations, for the San Francisco SPCA, Nathan was instrumental in advancing some of the most progressive shelter programs in the nation, and helped push the lifesaving rate to over three times the national average for an urban community and at the time, the best in the nation. As Executive Director for the Tompkins County (NY) SPCA, he managed the full range of animal control and adoption services in a rural community, including construction of a new Pet Adoption Center achieving unprecedented results. Nathan is currently the Executive Director of the national No Kill Advocacy Center and the author of five books. Redemption won five book awards and redefined the animal shelter industry nationwide. Irreconcilable Differences, his second book, is an Indie gold medal winner for Best Book (Animals/Pets). His third book, All American Vegan, co-written with his wife Jennifer, was named Best Cookbook (Alternative/Health) by USA Book News in 2011 and was given a five-star review by San F...

Beliefs come in many forms. They are not just spiritual or religious in nature. What you believe about yourself and others becomes your truth and forms the foundation of who you are as a person. Those beliefs come from your personal experiences and the experiences of those around you that you respect and listen to. Like the foods you eat, or don't eat, you may take them for granted. Say, "that is just what I have always done". What happens when your belief gets challenged? Do you entrench into it deeper? Or do you shift out of it and begin to form a new belief based on new information? How do you determine if a belief you have is one you should keep or one that no longer serves you? My guest on this episode has written a wonderful book called, The Belief Zone, that can help you answer that question and many more.
