Children of Mire. by Gerald Crenshaw Children of Mire. by Gerald Crenshaw Nov. 02, 2008 $1.50 81156 words Sample 25%
Author bio:
I was born in Charlottesville Va. and have been an avid reader since childhood. I am the middle child of three brothers. When my 5th grade class went to the public library for the first time, I was the only one with a library card already in possession and a mountain of books already read. Book reports were never a problem. To this day my wife's one legitimate complaint about me is if I am reading, or even worse writing, the house could be on fire and I wouldn’t notice. Visitors to our home always ask the same question of "Have you ever disposed of a book?" and the answer to that is no! Electronics and communications has been my passion since high school, earning a BS in Telecommunications. After years working for various equipment manufactures the job and fate landed me in Dallas Texas area. After may other jobs (Ok so I wasn’t an engineer, I was a migrant worker subject to the whims of current government projects.) I found a home at a little upstart telephone company called MCI. After twenty-two years there I got caught in the big lay off and deception. Most of my writing up to that point was technical papers for business and magazine articles, but I did get to work with a very good editor who put a bit of polish to my writing (Thank you Andy!). I currently work for the state of Texas as a radio technician taking care of state police communications. I did feel I was overripe for a novel awhile back and this was the result. I hope you enjoy it and yes I am working on a second novel.
Who, In Fact, You Really Are by Cosmic Awareness Who, In Fact, You Really Are by Cosmic Awareness Nov. 02, 2008 $49.95 411414 words Sample 7%
Author bio:
Cosmic Awareness is the Force that expressed Itself through Jesus, the Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed and other great avatars who served as channels for what is commonly referred to as "God." The messages do not come from spirits, ghosts or discarnate entities, but directly from the source--Universal Consciousness. Early in 1962, a voice expressing itself as Cosmic Awareness began speaking through Ralph Duby, a university lecturer and ex-army officer who had been through the Bataan Death March in Philippines during World War II. The voice spoke whenever the subject was in a state of self-induced trance. Since that time, much valuable information has come through to us on this earthly plane from a source so high it staggers the imagination. The resulting flow of spiritual knowledge and the means of its practical application are similar to the work of Edgar Cayce, one of the most famous and documented psychics of all time. When the question was asked of Cosmic Awareness: "What is Cosmic Awareness?" we were told that Cosmic Awareness is the total mind that is not any one mind, but is the Universal Mind. It does not represent any unit other than that of complete and total Universality. We were told that we are all part of Cosmic Awareness and that we all have that God-cell within that can be contacted. No need to run off to psychics or priests or spiritual mediators. Cosmic Awareness said that you can channel Cosmic Awareness, too. Everyone can. From Cosmic Awareness, we have learned from the tens of thousands of readings It has given, that It has many names. Some call it God, Jehovah, the First Cause, the Great I AM, All That Is, etc., but Awareness has said It is not a single entity, not the anthropomorphic concept that It was often defined to be by most religions. It has defined Itself as Beauty, Purity, Concentration--and above all, Truth or "What Is." It has called Itself anti-matter, pure space, pure nothingness that is everything and the everything that is essentially nothing. It has described Itself as being that which is next to that which does not and cannot speak because it is the highest form of energy in the universe. It corresponds to the highest impersonalized concepts of God--the Clear Light. It has said that as it speaks through a modern-day interpreter now, in the past It has spoken through the great avatars: the Buddha, Mohammed, Moses, Jesus, Krishna and others who served as Its channels. Cosmic Awareness has made Itself quite clear that It is not an entity, a disembodied spirit or anything of that nature. Awareness is pure energy--pure everything--or the natural God. Cosmic Awareness is that Universal Consciousness that permeates all living things in the universe, that sees all and experiences and discerns "what is" without judging or condemning. It is the Cosmic River of Life, the Stream of Consciousness, the Eternal Essence of Being, the Divine Spirit. All consciousness springs from the same river of life--the Universal Life Force. Cosmic Awareness is not a personality, but a force that is personal in nature. The name Cosmic Awareness is unlikely to become confused with any "personality" who channels or expresses this force, avoiding any form of worship toward that person. It can be experienced by anyone who goes deep enough within oneself to touch that level of Cosmic Awareness. Cosmic Awareness is the sea of life that not only fills our cells with living energy, but fills the air we breathe and the space between galaxies and the molecules. It is the living universe. Like water filling a sponge, Cosmic Awareness fills the spaces between molecules atoms and subatomic particles, and binds them all together into one gigantic Universal Being. Like cells in a microcosmic body, we blend together as souls in a macrocosmic body whose consciousness is Cosmic Awareness. The communications have reduced what a true religion should be to the simple fundamentals of service to one another. "God" is revealed as a universal set of cosmic laws, not a personal deity subject to capriciousness, wrath or vengeance. Cosmic Awareness has taught us that there is no actual "personalized" God, apart from the many that human beings have created; there is no "personalized" Devil apart from the many that men have promulgated. The communications are deeply spiritual, but essentially non-religious and non-secular. The communications never cease to stress the supreme importance of spiritual life and the necessity for compassion in our dealings with all people. In the messages from Cosmic Awareness, there is to be found the same supreme dedication to helping to ease suffering and tragedy among humanity and a reverence for all life that is the hallmark of the great saints and the teachings of the great religious leaders.

It is being completely aware and living life to the fullest.” “What the world needs is shift from our hearts…a new consciousness responsive to the challenges of the new millennium, based on righteousness, integrity, forgiveness, love and compassion, the divine attributes of the new order.” “The most powerful and potent force lies in your heart. It is your heart-held intentions that give you indefatigable energy, stamina and will, the no nonsense way to reach your goals, whether it is to attract love, wealth, health or knowledge.” “If yoga is breath of life, heart is life itself.” “The light that allows the mind to function comes from the heart.” “Once you get anchored in the purity of the heart, meaningful coincidences and synchronistic events start showing up in your life.”

Author bio:
I was reared in a small town in north central Washington State. I taught in Washington State's Public School system for 25 years. Teaching everything from science to seniors, to reading and spelling to 3rd graders. I spent 3 years in the army infantry, in the occupation of Berlin. And in my spare time, I owned and managed a small mobile home park and rentals for 34 years. Now I'm 68, with a hearing loss, so I've turned to writing mostly fiction and a little poetry. I have 3 published books on the market,of which two are self published, and another waiting.
