Imaginemos que si en el mundo en el que nos toca vivir la suerte de nuestro destino fuera dictada al azar por una ruleta de la fortuna, cuyos premios y castigos consistieran en vivir una plácida y próspera vida o sumidos en la fría y gris miseria en un rincón del conurbano bonaerense argentino, siendo esta última opción la desventurada suerte del narrador quien relata sus singulares vivencias. "Las Llaves de Raquel" transporta al lector a través de una cronológica y evolutiva vida de un niño poseedor de una inocencia y a la vez inteligencia muy peculiares, que observa y percibe el mundo desde una óptica original que desafía las difíciles reglas del juego de encajar en la sociedad. Esta inspiradora historia de perseverancia lleva a la profunda reflexión sobre el dilema de aceptar el destino que nos toca con resignación o cambiar la suerte adversa de esta ruleta. Tal es el caso del protagonista quien pasó de vivir pobremente en un precario rancho en paupérrimas condiciones a realizar sus sueños educándose en la prestigiosa Universidad de Oxford y dando así un giro completo a su vida ¿Cómo? Eso es otra historia...

The First Ever Account of Dieting the Revered Shamanic Plant Brugmansia aka Toe / Datura
A personal account of the use of the Brugmansia plant commonly known as "Toe," is revealed. The plant is native of the Peruvian Amazon and the Andes, where it's highly revered among shamans. Despite its popularity, the ingestion of this plant is surrounded by many justified taboos due to its toxicity and many dangers.
Javier Regueiro worked and studied intensively with this unique Plant Teacher in 2005 for five months, deep in the Amazon, and again in 2019. These experiences have been essential in his shamanic apprenticeship, as well as a profound personal healing and spiritual process. In The Toe / Datura Diaries these experiences are shared in great detail through journal entries from both shamanic dietas - or diet regimen in Spanish, - as well as extensive commentary on those experiences.
Following his first Toe dieta in 2005, Javier Regueiro began working as a plant medicine person and created the Ayaruna Center in Pisac, Peru. Over the last 10+ years he has been offering healing retreats with Ayahuasca and San Pedro / Huachuma plant medicines, both of which he has published books on.
While this book is not intended as a DIY manual for ingesting either the Toe or any other potentially risky plants, it does provide a very detailed overview and intimate glimpse into both the traditional practice of dieting medicinal plants. The commentary and insights provided are designed to avoid common pitfalls and maximize the time and effort invested in the profound healing process plant medicines provide.
This captivating tale presents an honest and vulnerable journey into the wisdom and medicines of the Amazon jungle. The many challenges faced by the author along the way ultimately led to a profound healing and expansion from engaging with this powerful Plant Teacher.

The full unabridged version of the unique book that set world records: The Memoirs of Billy Shears.Letting the world in on secrets concealed since the Sixties, The Memoirs of Billy Shears reveals infallible proofs and other overwhelming evidence to finally prove, all these decades later, that Paul McCartney really died in 1966.From verifiable facts in this book, you will be sure of it, and will know how to easily prove to others that Paul was replaced by William Shepherd "Billy Shears." William has been playing the part of Paul, recording and performing, since Paul's fatal automobile accident all those years ago.Just as Beatles albums contained hundreds of clues about Paul's death and replacement (with hints in their lyrics, cover art, and video performances), in keeping with that same secret creative expression of sympathy for the loss of Paul, friends in other bands also made "Paul is Dead" songs. Among others, The Rolling Stones, The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band ("The Bonzos"), The Who, Donavon, and Elton John all sing about Paul's death. This book discusses some of their songs, as well as some by "Paul," John, George, and Ringo that were made beyond their Beatles Years. The Memoirs of Billy Shears uses over two hundred songs to explain the Paul switch (including the torment it caused before and after Paul's death), to establish the historical context, and to add support, richness, and texture to the book's concepts. Those musical enhancements add warmth and a depth of feeling to the cold hard facts, giving you insider empathy for all involved.Fittingly for a book of Paul-clue decoding, The Memoirs of Billy Shears is itself fully encoded. Providing a new reading experience, readers will not only be able to decode Paul songs, but can also break the acrostical code within this book! The first letter in every other line combines to spell secret messages--adding up to be the world's longest acrostic--that the reader will love to decode.Learn more about The Memoirs of Billy Shears, and related books, at: www.BillyShears.com/5.htm.

In Forging the Modern World: A History, Second Edition, authors James Carter and Richard Warren offer an accessible explanation of key transformations in global economic, political, and ideological relationships since the sixteenth century. The book is distinct from most world history texts in three important ways. First, it explores the ways in which historians use and produce information. Each chapter delves deeply into one or two specific issues of historical inquiry related to the chapter theme, showing how new primary sources, methodologies, or intellectual trends have changed how we engage with the past. Second, it clearly explains the political, economic, and ideological concepts that students need to understand in order to compare events and trends across time and space. Finally, the chapters are organized around global historical themes, which are explored through an array of conceptual and comparative lenses. While the book chapters proceed chronologically, each chapter is written with some chronological overlap linking it to preceding and subsequent chapters. This strategy emphasizes the interconnectedness between the events and themes of one chapter and those of surrounding chapters.
Wussten Sie, dass Ihr Personalausweis oder Ihr Reisepass nicht Ihre deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit bestätigt und fast alle Deutschen in ihrem eigenen Land staatenlos sind? Nein? Es gibt tatsächlich ein Dokument, welches die rechtmäßige Staatsangehörigkeit bescheinigt, aber es ist keines der beiden zuvor genannten. Nur wenige Deutsche sind im Besitz dieser speziellen Urkunde, z.B. viele Staatsanwälte, Notare, Bundespolizisten oder Politiker. Wussten Sie zudem, dass Gerichtsvollzieher in der BRD seit 2012 keine Beamten mehr sind oder dass die BRD selbst gar kein Staat ist - und auch nie war -, sondern eine von den Alliierten installierte Verwaltung, die großteils innerhalb einer „Firmenstruktur" operiert? War Ihnen geläufig, dass wir bald in die „Vereinigten Staaten von Europa" übergehen und die Menschen in „handelbare Waren" umfunktioniert werden? Haben Sie sich nicht auch schon gewundert, wieso aus dem Arbeitsamt eine „Agentur für Arbeit" geworden ist oder warum Sie vor Gericht als „Sache" behandelt werden und nicht als Mann oder Frau? Und Sie werden wahrscheinlich auch überrascht sein, wenn Daniel Prinz Ihnen die Rolle des Vatikans und der katholischen Kirche darlegt, die darin genauso verwickelt sind wie die City of London. War Ihnen bewusst, dass die Sklaverei in Wirklichkeit nie abgeschafft wurde? Der Autor beantwortet nicht nur diese Fragen ausführlich, sondern zeigt zudem auf, welche höchst raffinierten und hinterhältigen Mechanismen eingesetzt werden, die uns alle versklavt haben und dafür sorgen sollen, dass wir aus dem gegenwärtigen, riesigen Hamsterrad nie ausbrechen. Im Buch kommt dabei auch ein Insider zu Wort, der mit weiteren brisanten Fakten aus dem Nähkästchen plaudert, z.B. auch, auf wie viele Menschen die Weltbevölkerung von der Elite reduziert werden soll. Wie ein roter Faden wird das gesamte Konstrukt offenbart, auf dem dieses Kontroll- und Machtsystem aufgebaut ist. Sie glauben, Sie wüssten als aufgewachter „Bürger" tatsächlich bereits über alles Bescheid? Dann werden Sie spätestens hier eines Besseren belehrt.Daniel Prinz bleibt jedoch bei all diesen Informationen nicht stehen. Er präsentiert im zweiten Teil des Buches auch tiefgreifende und fundierte Ideen und Lösungsansätze, die aufzeigen, wie wir uns aus diesem Sklavensystem wieder befreien und eine wirklich gerechte Welt in Frieden und Harmonie erschaffen können. Und bei dem Ganzen spielt Deutschland die Schlüsselrolle.
