2nd Edition Review
http://archaeolibrarianologist.blogsp...
5 out of 5 (exceptional)
Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
"I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review.
Wow!! This book gripped me start to finish. I loved the time travel aspect of this as it explains the character and how he changes and his dreams, or are they something more than dreams?
The characters are flawed and believable, and reflect people extremely well. Cannot wait for the next book!!
I love the fact that Roy looks for the answers among the people like SteveR who has more to him than is obvious.
A definite five star for me."

Misconceptions of Spiritualism
http://www.elephantjournal.com/2015/0...
"The condemnation of spiritual practices is rampant among those who herald modern rationalism as their savior. However, many of their standard rejections don’t apply to the actual beliefs of most spiritual people."

5.0 out of 5 stars Short enough to read in one or two sittings. Deep enough to force the reader to go into introspection. A Wow! April 16, 2015
By Charles Wm Anderson @wordpress TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition
Length: 207 pages, give or take.
A mind-boggling tour through life, the universe and everything spiritual.
This is not a time travel per se. It is much more than that.
The mental image that comes to mind is a swirling mixture of a combination of colors being drawn towards the center, which is then slipping down a funnel. Each of the colors represents either a time, or a particular religious thought stream. One being the first belief in one God in Ancient Egypt. Another in Zoroaster. Another in the Greek Gods. Another in the Jewish. Still another in Buddha.
Complicating the admixture is the religion of science.yet, as deep and entangling as all this would be, there is the warpage effect resulting from a folding of a future time, back into the ancient time.
To be sure, if this were a film, you and I would watch it three or four or a dozen times to gain insight into each wrinkle within the story. At the opening, I was thinking this would be a Ludlum type of story, but soon found it much less about suspense or about conspiracies.
I actually found myself drifting into a thought of, 'Wow. The writer has given a lot of introspection here on what is embodied in what we call the Creator.'
Very nice, refreshing story with a new wrinkle in every chapter.
Fans of the TV Series Lost are likely to really delve into the story.
This is a terrific first novel. I definitely will read it again. And again.

Peter Thiel: Interview on Innovation
https://medium.com/conversations-with...
"Let’s start with some questions about stagnation, Peter. At any point, if you care to add other topics of your own, please do so. You’re well known for arguing, well, “they promised us flying cars and all we got is 140 characters”; “technological progress has slowed down.” How is it you think that we’re most likely to get out of the great stagnation, when that happens?"
