Finished Clarkson it was also good I'll be getting some more of his I think, in the meantime I've read "The Cage" (Military Biography)Tom Abraham, English Lad born in Cheshire goes to America as a young man & ends up serving in the 1st Cav in Vietnam 1968 in a Rifle Platoon. It tells of his service, capture, escape & return to civilian life & the effect this had on his life. I found it a good read.

Am about to start "Chickenhawk" (Military Biography) Robert Mason a Warrant Officer pilot flying Hueys in Vietnam 1965-66.

I sleep more than most folk, so dreaming is a large part of my experience.
I thought I ought to know more about dreaming, especially the lucid type, where you can choose what you dream about.

I downloaded this free ebook -
Lucid Dreaming Manual - M Van de Keere

I am about half way through it and am able to recognise that I am dreaming when I am,
but I find that when I tell myself 'this is a dream' - I wake up
...which is not the object of the excercise.

I hope that I will master the lucid technique so will persevere - maybe I will master it when I have read more.

The Biology of Belief - Bruce Lipton PhD

Understandable and credible explanations as to how the cells of our bodies function, and challenges Darwinian theory, and gives rises to the realisation that the environment, and not our genes, controls body health.
Also - it details the role of the subconcious mind and how placebos work.

I found this free ebook here-
The Biology of Belief - Bruce Lipton PhD (228 Pages)

I had already watched a two video lecture -

Blinkvid - Bruce Lipton - As Above So Below An Introduction To Fractal Evoloution

MaYoMo – As Above So Below, An Introduction To Fractal Evolution 2

The book repeated much of what was in the lectures, but added important extras.

Since last posting here have read "Once a warrior king" Dave Donovan tells how the American M.A.T. teams (Mobile advisory teams) usually a group of 5/6 Infantrymen who lived, worked & formed friendships in the villages & hamlets of the Vietnamese people & helped them protect & defend their crops,homes & people from the VC. Like an armed neighbourhood watch really.

And have now restarted to read "The death gate cycle" totalling 7 books in a fantasy series involving wizards, dragons, elves etc by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman who have collaborated on a great many projects including the "Dragonlance" franchise.
