This feeble attempt to narrate what might have been written as History because no cameras or journalists were there. The artifacts and written accounts of the victors. However, contributed to this narrative. I could not have written this book without the help of AI (Artificial Intelligence) via Squibler. It is important to me that this fact is made clear. I am not trained as a journalist or writer, so the reader is left to their own mercy with my attempt. Thank you.

What comes out of your mouth can be very powerful. Words can hurt, and words can heal. What goes into your mouth is equally powerful. A healthy body feeds a healthy mind. A healthy mind speaks only what is good, beautiful and clean. Microdacism is not only about the mind and spirit but, also, about the body.

I thought about the church and its factual purposes. And, I shared my outside experiences with Linda. She reminded me that churches were about fellowship, sharing with like-minded people. That is why there are black churches and white churches. I concluded that God was really not important at all. God is, by all accounts, so very vague that there’s no real definition and, in fact, one is not really needed. It’s the fellowship that matters. The fellowship in the jungle with the Shaman is equally essential and sincere as the fellowship in the grandest of cathedrals. In fact, I am more ...

The non techno / electro podcast by Dave Clarke

I ran into a very good friend, and he remarked, "You are looking perfect." I thanked him He knows that I have been battling cancer. He wanted to know what I was doing and I told him that my secret was diversion. I have a choice. I could keep thinking about the obvious, or, I could have a diversion. After all, the mind cannot tell the difference between reality and fantasy. So, I fantasize about being a writer. As you can see, I am not a writer but I have had some experiences in life. Experiences that I wanted to share. This is one of many: Pushing the reset button. We have choices. We can ...

This book is fiction. I have visited many countries and places, and I always learn more through my travels, gaining a deeper understanding of the world in the process. As a retired sailor, I have had the privilege. Again, This book is a work of fiction, even though I have visited Rest Store in Manchester, Jamaica. Two incidents inspired this story, both involving the kindness of people without expecting anything in return. Yes, do read it and do share your comments. Thanks.

If I can do it, so can you. I am a nature photographer who, on rainy days, stays indoors and tries to write. I am also a cancer survivor (so far) in my eighties. I am very grateful for each day, to the point where I have created my own lifestyle and school of thought (a kind of personal religion). I cannot always write, but I make an effort. Modern tools, especially KDP, have made it easy and free to share ideas. This is a fictional story, but I did serve in the Navy. My goal is to inspire people my age to be creative. Ignore the criticisms of naysayers; that's just what they do. My advice ...

This eBook is a work of fiction. It is crucial for you, the reader, to understand this fact: it is not real. While reading, you may notice eerie similarities to personal experiences, but those are purely coincidental. I served during the Vietnam era, and each person I spoke with shared different stories. I am not a writer, but I am attempting to portray a grave mistake in American history. I leave the moral conclusion to the reader. The journalist in the story frequently refers to the American South and its experience with a war fought to preserve a way of life that many still find to be ...

I am a photographer who enjoys sharing my thoughts about life and living. As you read, you'll notice photos that are unrelated to the main subject. It’s a habit of mine, and it works. Thank you so much for reading my ideas enhanced by Artificial Intelligence (AI). I welcome the most discerning to find—and laugh at—the many flaws and errors in my book and my effort. Laughter does good for the soul. Besides, isn’t it nice to recognize your high level of intelligence? Believe me, I say that as a cynic, but with genuine sincerity. Be proud of your brilliance. With that said, I look ...

Jamaica is special. I felt exceptional listening to the trucks blow their horns as they traversed the hills of St Mary. Outside the gate of Errol's farm, men in Khaki pants and shirts and women with colorful frocks walked up the hills with loads on their heads. After following him around for hours, I finally asked, "Errol, do children and people starve in Jamaica?"— "Only the lazy ones," was his curt answer. "Plants provide food, but you can only enjoy it when you do something; when you go to the rees - the trees will not come to you," he added, "it's like everything else in life, it's ...

Kirk sat there, flabbergasted, at his meeting with someone who might have been mistaken for just a woman in need. Kirk started at this Bar and Grill as a delivery driver and, within three years, was promoted to manager. Seeing how employees were treated when he was a mere driver, he vowed never to disrespect his co-workers, who were soon to become his employees. And that his customers would always come first. So, it was very much like him to invite this then-unknown lady out of the rain. Kirk asked her out of the rain, not knowing who she was, and, in his mind, no one deserved to be in the ...

Microdacism is simply the Thoughts of Microdac. Me. I believe wholeheartedly that every men and woman on earth have something important to say. Many keep quiet because they feel that they are not qualified to express themselves or they are not educated enough to write. Their beliefs may well be true, but, do it anyway. I think we are all creators. We should create and allow OTHERS to judge. AS you read this book, not doubt you are going to find errors; many errors, but I write it anyway. The reader may well entertain himself or herself in finding the errors and that would be good. Think ...

My name is Dave Clarke and that is really not important. What is imporetant is this: Like you, for many years, I was held back by doubt and the opinion of others. Doubt: I do not have a degree nor I am I as educated as I should be. So, I questioned my worth. Opinion of others: I placed wayy to much emphasis on the opinions of others and I gave them permission to defne me. Then, one day, I started to think for myself. I embrace facts the would define me. I am a person with limited assets but with unlimited imgaination. I have the abilty to think for myself. I cannot control what otehres may ...

My name is Dave Clarke. After many years of searching and researching, I finally arrived where I began; as a child. As a child, I knew everything, but, it took the adult to appreciate the wisdom of the child that I once was. After spending 21 years in the Navy, after being a photographer, after many hours in nature, and after reading thousands of manuscripts, I realized that the truth was always right in front of my eyes.

It is satisfying to take responsibility for one's creation, follow the heart, and do what you wish. Of course, in doing so, you also invoke the wrath of many. Religion is, as Karl Marx said, the opiate of the people since it makes it so easy to be intellectually lazy. Maybe the Sumerians were correct when they formalized religion. Enslve the body, mind, and spirit via religion, and you make obedient slaves. Make these slaves work hard with the promise of milk and honey AFTER they die. It worked then, and it works today. As for me. I believe in a higher consciousness. But I need to find out ...

Microdascism was created because all other religions required a God, usually manmade, and a go-between. Microdascism asserts that one should think for oneself and form one's school of thought (or belief system) based on accumulated wisdom, self-knowledge, experiences, and intuition. That's the truth. As human beings, we are powerful and our imagination drives us. We, as individuals, are special, unique and one of a kind. There are simply no two identical people. It is ridiculous to be allowed to be programmed to believe that slave-owners are the founders of religion because God said so. It ...

Here are some quotes on Religion. Which ones do you Believe? "Religion without humanity is poor human stuff". "No religion can be built on force". "God is a thought who makes crooked all that is straight". "All religions and all communities have the same rights, and it is my responsibility to ensure their complete and total protection". "All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree". "The essence of all religions is one". "Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous". "Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for ...

Happiness is directly related to one's dependency on others or things. The less dependent; the happier you are. One must know one's self. Be true to one's self. And, be the best human being that one can be. You are the only one of you in the entire universe. You are unique. You are special. You have been given all the resources you will ever need to be the BEST you that you can be. You have a special reason to be here now and at this time. But... It's all a matter of you making the right choices. You are free to be or not to be. You are free to acquire all the knowledge you can handle. You ...

In the end, it is always up to us to decided what we believe. Our own happiness is our own creation. Attitude is everything.

A child always comes into the world knowing a lot. Of course, nobody bothers to ask a child anything. We, as adults, believe falsely that a child knows nothing. That's too bad. Immanuel (known as Jesus in many religions) speaks frequently about a child's knowledge. What if mothers and fathers took the time to ask a child, just when they start to speak, the following questions: Who are you? Where did you come from? Why are you here? If the child meets your questions with silence, then you have lost nothing - it is what you expected. But what if you receive answers? Are you ready to believe ...
