English | ISBN: 0966868730 | 2020 | 362 pages | EPUB | 1076 KB
The continued existence of every man, woman, child and family pet balances on what I am writing here and how it is received. In this book my audience is literally everybody in America and accordingly. the whole world. Many of the things I discuss in this book have never been heard of before, and most of the other issues herein are still unsolved today, even though they have been explored, explained and in essence solved by hundreds of the most brilliant people throughout the ages.Cocky, greedy, arrogant, hotdoggers are all heading for a painful fall. Your ego lifts you higher and higher, and then one day your are bested in some way, and you discover you are only just normal. But normal is very good! You can become anything you want as a normal person; just use the common sense that is all round you and in most every person. Do the right things, be helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, and not greedy, bigoted or selfish. Change yourself before your social sins come back to haunt you. By the way, sex is not a sin. Killing, stealing (greed) and bearing false witness (lying) are mortal sins.Idolizing someone because they are rich, rebellious or powerful is a mistake on numerous levels. Often, rich people are not rich because they are doing something right, but because they are doing something wrong. Rebellious people are often rebelling against society's restrictions, which have been put in place to protect everybody, including them. And many powerful people are egocentric, slightly clinically insane, or consumed with power. Everybody considers themselves to be the center of the universe, but only the arrogant make a big deal out of it. A small number of people are creating all of the problems in this world, and the solution is for all the rest of us to take a 180-degree turn and say to them, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"

For men in the armies―and their wives, children, parents, and siblings at home―letter writing was the sole means to communicate. Yet for many of these Union and Confederate families, taking pen to paper was a new and daunting task. I Remain Yours narrates the Civil War from the perspective of ordinary people who had to figure out how to salve the emotional strain of war and sustain their closest relationships using only the written word.

Sound knowledge of bio-chemical principles and the ability to critically appraise and apply relevant research are fundamental requirements.

These include detailed discussions on different methods of application. I hope that this book will become a standard text on both pre-qualifying and CPD courses in aromatherapy.' - Angela Avis, in her Foreword
