Encounters: Experiences with Nonhuman Intelligences: Explorations with UFO, Dreams, Angels, Al, and Other Dimensions by D.W. Pasulka Book Review

In Encounters, D.W. Pasulka discussed different experiences people have had with nonhuman intelligences and what we can learn from them. She explained how she is a professor on the history of religion. She has personally studied UFO’s, monks and nuns who levitate, purgatory, technological angels, and much more. In the book, she explored the works of key space psychologists such as, Dr. Iya Whiteley. She explained how astronauts would develop their own rules, beliefs, and behaviors and they would choose what is acceptable and what isn’t. She is also trying actively to conduct a way to speak and communicate with nonhuman intelligent species. She is becoming a leader in creating technologies.

 

 

 

 

Another key person in this book was a man called Gray Man. He works for a big research agency and is the head of a laboratory. He personally edited what he shared at least 15 times. He shared his experience with extraterrestrial, nonhuman intelligences, and angels and demons. He explained how he one day woke up to being above him. The creature was assessing him looking at his soul. He was made of light, his hair was long, and he thought it was a pure angel. He felt loved and he wanted to hug him. He couldn’t though because he had a sharp sword. He also met a dark demon and he had to fight it. He shared how this wasn’t a dream and she explained how she thought it was Saint Michael. A few weeks later, he discovered a prayer card of Saint Michael in a box with his passport. In the book, he gave the entire story of how he got that prayer card but he has no idea how it got into that box. He also experienced a few encounters with UFO’s and these stories are breathtaking to read!  

 

 

I would recommend this insightful book about nonhuman intelligences. I loved how it looked at the topic of angels and demons and how they are among us. The stories presented in this book was very descriptive and it allowed you to form your own conclusions. I liked how it had different scientists in different fields sharing their experiences and research all with different backgrounds. I thought in her covering numerous areas and perspectives it assisted in getting her research across. I enjoyed how this book did discuss some of the Christianity beliefs about angels and demons. I thought this chapter was very beneficial and aided us in believing in what we can always see. I wouldn’t say, I’m still a huge believer in aliens or UFO flying in the sky. I haven’t personally saw them and I’m still skeptical. It was still fascinating to read about others who have experienced them.

Built Through Courage: Face Your Fears to Live the Life You Were Meant For by Dave Hollis Book Review

In Built Through Courage, Dave Hollis has written a new book about dealing with fear and becoming courageous. He explained how he was the most afraid kid in school and if he had a love language it would be called, worry. He shared in the book how he worked the Walt Disney Company for 17 years. He shared how one of the perks he received there was getting to witness the new unreleased films and provide them with feedback with other key leaders. He was the president of distribution and helped to relaunch Star Wars franchise in 2015. He described in details about how we are like a ship in the harbor and many of held anchored down. We believe the stories we are told. We all love the safety of calm storms. He explained how he felt lost and he wasn’t at the destination in life he wanted to be at. In 2019, he made a declaration that the year 2020 would become his best year. He had just turned 45 years old. He had a goal to do a big book tour and as we all know what happened. Everything got cancelled with Covid. His world also began to fall completely apart. His wife of 16 years wanted a divorce. He has a rough start and was able to bounce back and still have a good year. He was actively supporting his wife’s dreams and The Hollis Company they began. He was tired of following someone else’s map. In the book, he shared how Peter walked on water and he has to give his limiting beliefs to God. He enclosed at the end of each chapter a journaling activity logbook to assist readers into brainstorming and thinking about what the core messages of the chapters were. 

 

 

One of my favorite chapters discussed defining your core values. Some of his included, “centeredness, advocacy, growth, service”, just to name a few. He was tired of compromising and not living out what he believed. He guides readers on how to figure out their own values and how to instill integrity and make a different in the world. Everyone needs to ask themselves what they stand for. He explored how we don’t need to negotiate our worth and keep people who are making us question do we matter. This chapter will help readers to stop allowing people to control us and to not give them the license to determine our worth. 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book on dealing with your fear and having courage to not stay anchored in the harbor. I immensely loved the message and all of the journaling sections that assisted readers into digging deeper into the topics. I was touched by this book and the message on fear that he discussed with such passion. He really did try and help readers to overcome their fears and to build their courage. As we have probably heard by now, in 2023, he tragically passed away from an accidently overdose at age 47. This was truly shocking news when I heard that. His books seemed to have such a positive message in them. What was heartbreaking was he asked a critical question about what if, he had two years left to live how would he live his life differently. He really only had two years left to live and he didn’t know it!

This book has helped readers with physical pain, fatigue, infertility, depression, anxiety, PTSD, painful memories, and much more.

The United States is also the most country to spend money on health care – around $9,237 and we have the youngest death rates. He explained how we tend to mask the symptoms and we don’t ever deal with the imbalances that is causing us the issues. He stated how, “every symptom we suffer from is a message.” This book will assist readers into discovering freedom from their imbalances in their bodies. He broke the six imbalances into categories, such as energy, pathogens, toxins, and misalignment, just to name some. The book also conversed the power of magnets and how they contain a pure source of energy. 

 

 

 

 

 

In the book, he shared a personal story about his exposure to alternative medicine. When he was 13 years old, he suffered from bad back pain and it would affect his breathing. They discovered he had a kidney disease and he was given a 55% survival rate. The doctors strongly suggested that he not play or run. Western medicine wasn’t providing in solutions. He met with two doctors who would look at the body as a whole. They used herbal drinks and they helped to realign his spine. He was healed and was free from his pain. 

 

 

 

 

 

A powerful story he shared was about a child abuse case. His man suffered from the fear of heights. When he was 4 years old, his dad place on the top of the fridge and instructed him to jump. He promised he would catch him and he didn’t. He proceeds to let him fall. He told him he let him fall where he could learn a lesson about how we should never trust anyone. He was able to help him deal with his pain and overcome his fears. 

 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book to anyone who is wanting to get rid of all of the imbalances and they are wanting healing. One of my favorite lessons was about how to find and release a trapped emotion and breaks it all down into a nice flow chart and steps by steps. I also connected with the allergies section and it was very insightful to read about how we can become allergic to an idea in our subconscious. This is all mind-blowing type of stuff and was very beneficial. I really enjoyed all of the personal healing stories he enclosed in this book. There were tons that will help readers to find healings. This book is one that is meant to be relooked at again and again. It’s not just a one-time read and put away book.

The Elegant Warrior: How To Win Life's Trials Without Losing Yourself by Heather Hansen Book Review

In The Elegant Warrior, Heather Hansen explored the different facets of being a lawyer and how we can apply it to our lives. She is a trial lawyer and has defended medical malpractice cases for over 20 years. She has done legal analysis for Fox News, CNN, and a few others. She has personally dealt with dead mothers, paralyzed lovers, babies harmed, and catastrophic injuries that changed their lives. She explained how she can count on one hand the number of cases she lost. She shared how she was assisting this one young man who was dealing with pain for years. He was taking anxiety medication regularly. He had a withdraw seizure and broke his arm and got a concussion and he sued the doctor. He shared how she took his entire story apart on the stand. Before he testified, he explained to his mother how she helped him with her shoes and how nice she was towards him. She felt bad but she had to expose him. She explained how his story was inconsistent and the timing was off. She admitted to afterwards crying in her RAV4 and pondering if she was true to who she was. She struggled with being kind and also being firm because she had a case to win. This is where the idea for the book came to be. We can all be elegant warriors and we all contain the ability to be true to ourselves no matter what battles we may face along the way. We can learn the balance between being elegant with compassion and not losing ourselves in battle. Each chapter is written with the idea to focus on one aspect of the law. Some of these included complaining, choosing your army, nurturing your team, knowing when to settle, picking people well, strike with questions, and much more. 

 

 

 

I would recommend this awesome book written from a lawyer. I enjoyed how she covered everything leading up to the trial and court date. She showed details on all the behind the scenes that occur. I appreciated how open she was in the importance of making your point across in the first three minutes and not falling into the cruse of knowledge. She really tried to help readers to understand how critical it is to ask questions where we will know more knowledge and in turn will help to understand more clearly and help our audience to understand. Making a first impression is very important and it’s something we won’t every forget. Empathy can be obtained when we choose to ask questions. I loved how she related all of the lessons we can learn in the court room to real life and becoming an elegant worker. I’m glad she shared personal examples of some of the cases she took on and sometimes the stories would even be humorous.

You Matter: Learning to Love Who You Really Are by Matthew Emerzian Book Review

In You Matter, Matthew Emerzian has a major goal of assisting readers into realizing that they matter. The book is divided into three sections, I Matter, You Matter, and We Matter. He opened up in the introduction about how he hit rock bottom. He suffered from a deep trauma and had difficult seeing. He was sweating and breathing heavily. He decided to try and drive to his doctor’s. He told him it was mental and not physically. He instructed him to go home and rest and to ask himself touch questions. He needed to discover his purpose and significance. He diagnosed him with depression and chronic anxiety disorder.

 

 

In the book, he opened up about how he began working for Robert Kardashian and helped him manage artists. They produced DVD’s, music, live shows, music videos, and much more. He worked with Tim McGraw, Black Eyed Peas, U2, Coldplay, and many more. He fell into the after parties and started drinking, partying, smoking, and objectifying women. This is what led him into falling into his depression. He eventually got a therapist and she helped him to see how it’s not about him. She helped him to see the importance of serving others and this led him into finding out his significance. 

 

 

 

One of my favorites stories was about how he played water polo and loved the sport. He shared how critical it is to have a community in which you fit into. As we age and get older, we lose our sense of building relationships and friendship. We all have felt the void. He shared how he had a special friend who randomly asked him for his phone number while they were swimming. The man remembered his number and never wrote it down! It turned out he had autism who has a photograph memory. He watched him make friends with everyone he met and asked them to be his friend. He even braided his hair. Unfortunately, in the writing of his book, he lost touch with him and it’s been about three years. Most of the people have moved away from that pool. He shared how authentic Chris was and he would freely live his life and not be pressed by the judgments of others. He strongly suggests that we answer the difficult question on what is holding us back. He tries to assist us in becoming more authentic and genuine. He revealed the hidden truth of self-fulfilling prophecy and how we tend to always judges others and others and this is preventing us from truly being ourselves. Many of us wouldn’t have the confidence to sing or dance or do anything freely without the fear of us feeling like we will be judged for it. The lesson of the day was for us to choose one song that we can dance or sing to and it can become our official song of the day and make it our song. We need to identify what is holding us back in each area of our lives and write down the reasons why using the 5-why’s strategy and keep asking until we get to the real reason that none of it makes sense. 

 

 

I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is wanting to understand the concept of why they matter and how importance they are in the world and how they can reach out to others. This book is a wonderful example on serving others and taking the focus off our ourselves. I immensely loved the stories presented in this book and how turned each chapter into a big lesson we can all learn something from. I also loved how the lessons enclosed helpful prompts to write down in our journal and to have conversation starters and to also take action to live it out. I really enjoyed the positive spins he enclosed in this book to help readers to understand why they matter.
