This book is a direct result of the 1998 Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. Drawing upon many documents declassified under this law, the authors demonstrate what US intelligence agencies learned about Nazi crimes during World War II and about the nature of Nazi intelligence agencies' role in the Holocaust. It examines how some U.S. corporations found ways to profit from Nazi Germany's expropriation of the property of German Jews. This book also reveals startling new details on the Cold War connections between the US government and Hitler's former officers. At a time when intelligence successes and failures are at the center of public discussion, U.S. Intelligence and the Nazis also provides an unprecedented inside look at how intelligence agencies function during war and peacetime.

With more than 50 percent of marriages ending in divorce these days, even the most confident couples find themselves battling the odds from time to time. Marital problems can arise in any marriage, and, while it's nothing to be ashamed of, it's also something that no one, no matter the situation, should ignore.

When caught early on, many marital problems can be resolved if couples seek help. Some relationships, however, are unsalvageable, and it is important for couples to realize when this is the case so that they can stop hurting each other and move on with their lives.

"The Marriage Exam" provides couples with the tools they need to assess the strength or weakness of their marriage so that they can determine whether or not they are headed for divorce. The empirically-based test included in this text will help them evaluate the severity of their problems and enable them to make informed decisions about what to do next.

Based on self reports from more than three hundred couples and counting, the marriage test has been proven to accurately describe current relationship statuses and help couples achieve meaningful results. It is a useful test to take not once, but consistently throughout your marriage.

Robert Wolfe is the author of several best selling books on nonduality, the perception of the undivided nature of life. He came to this perception on retreat in the redwood forests of California after intense study and meditation. Elementary Cloudwatching is the collection of his journal entries and writings during this time, most never before published. This hardcover edition also includes a color interior with 3 color images, including a piece of artwork by Robert and color typography. These are reflective, nature inspired essays, that inspire readers to look more closely at their everyday life, and the inherent wonder, and oneness, folded in apparently commonplace moments. It is also the personal inner memoir of a California original spiritual philosopher during a time of awakening.

The condition from which all forms appear is from the timeless and unlimited formless presence. This Absolute condition was existent before your particular form arose and will continue to persist after your material form has dis-integrated. It is the source from which the cosmos arose. Your material form, or organism, is a product of this same source, or Intelligence. Your brain is a product of this source. Hence, your thoughts and actions owe their manifestation to this ultimate actuality. Thus, the teachings instruct, "You are not the Doer." When one recognizes that "all that's being done, is That doing what it does," it becomes clear that (from the ultimate standpoint) all which is unfolding is an unprecedented, spontaneous development of the Omnipresent manifesting as, and through, every immediate occurrence. From the vantage point of the Absolute, it makes no difference what occurs, since there is no confinement to a finite consequence. Regardless how the individual organism may evaluate each occurrence, in the final analysis it makes no difference. This nondual perspective of non-attachment is reminded to us each night, in our deepest sleep. We return to a condition of empty awareness in which the self-perception disappears, all relative interests disappear, the world disappears, the cosmos disappears. In that unperturbed awareness, there is an emptiness which is choiceless and in which nothing really matters. For those who realize the implications of the nondual teachings, the fact that ultimately nothing really matters is carried over into one's waking awareness and daily life. It is also clear that while we are embodied in this material form and continue to function in the relative world, the dualistic perspective (rather than the nondual awareness) is the state of mind which pertains for most persons-who are typically not prepared to hear that their "self" has no meaning in the ultimate sense. It's probably not surprising that such teachings were once kept secret. However, they're not secret anymore, and can lead to a life-changing perspective, or Consciousness. === After my first book, Living Nonduality, was published in 2009, I received dozens of e-mails, in addition to some letters, from people all over the U.S. and abroad. In many instances, particular questions or quandaries concerning the subject of enlightenment were expressed. My publisher set up a blog page on my website (livingnonduality.org) and the more succinct queries were often responded to there. In other instances, I sent my reply by mail. The monographs printed in this volume include such correspondences with people on nonduality and are an expansion on the material published four years ago; a few of the selections are those for which there wasn't room in my previous book; and a few others are akin to journal entries. All of them relate to various aspects of nondual realization. Each, in its own way, is a letter to you.

A murderer uses the hands of the people he has killed to kill others, leaving their prints at the scene of the crime. How is the detective going to solve who did the actual murders?

"One Essence" is a modern commentary on the nondual teachings of a classical Zen text.

It is also a collection of Zen wisdom and poetry, containing the 67 stanzas of the Hsin Hsin Ming (with multiple alternative translations), plus many other succinct spiritual verses from ancient and contemporary Zen sources.

The concise, powerful verses of the Hsin Hsin Ming have been translated repeatedly over the ages, and been the subject of many commentaries in the attempt to understand its simplicity and subtlety. Here, Robert Wolfe, the author of "Living Nonduality: Enlightenment Teachings of Self-Realization" provides a modern, nondual look at this ancient Zen-Taoist poem.

All thirty of its quatrains are provided along with a contemporary nondual interpretation as well as selections from other Zen and Taoist teaching poems.

Also included is a short story by Robert Wolfe, "In Death as in Life," envisioning the last days of the Buddha and his nondual teachings.

According to Robert Wolfe, "One Essence" represents his best essential summary of the nondual perception.

"In this day, when the teachings of nonduality are being scrutinized by a growing public, the Hsin Hsin Ming again casts its reflective light on another generation privileged to contemplate its clarity and directness." (from the Introduction by the author.)

From Chapter 16 of One Essence, a verse from the Hsin Hsin Ming: "The all contains each, And each is the essence of the all. To live in this understanding Is the essence of the Tao."

Intriguing facts of the vastness and miraculous complexity of our universe, coupled with reports from scientists that inseparability is the fundamental nature of our existence. "Science of the Sages, " by the author of "One Essence" and "Living Nonduality" is a tour through the contemporary scientific view of the universe, from cosmology to subatomic particles, with an eye on its harmony with the conscious insight that has been the message of sages throughout human history. As Robert writes: Whether one looks out at the mysteries of a vast cosmos or narrows the view to the counterintuitive behavior of a subatomic particle, I would not be alone in maintaining that nonduality is the basic principle that explains the Whole-the "spirit" of what is "manifest in the laws of the Universe," to borrow a phrase from Einstein. While our comprehension has only been recent, what we're comprehending is an inseparable reality that is far more ancient than even man's earliest intuition of Oneness-and may be the producer of that very intuition.

The story set in the old west, where we find our loner, Taylor McDade, where the law considered him an outlaw, but by many considered him a hero. He never killed anyone, unless it was by self-defense. Follow our hero, as he takes us through his life, from beginning to end, when he finally hung up his guns.

The ten essays assembled in this volume represent the fruit of fifty years of research and study in the fields of Jewish history and World history. They show that the Jewish people has played a progressive role in world history, a role which grew out of the political culture of the Habiru.

Mentioned in literally hundreds of cuneiform inscriptions dating from the 2nd millenium BCE, the Habiru formed scattered bands of runaway slaves and other fugitives who maintained themselves on the outskirts of the settled areas of the Middle East. Constituting a social class rather than an extended family, they were nonetheless the founders of the ancient Jewish nation whose origins are depicted in a legendary form in the Hebrew Scriptures. It was their egalitarian value system which was handed down to posterity by the Jewish people.

In this way there arose a process which has continued unto this day: on the one hand the gradual incorporation of progressive Jewish values into world culture, but on the other hand the relentless persecution of the Jewish people by the forces of tyranny and injustice. In today's world this process takes the form of the struggle to survive of the democratic state of Israel in the face of the united opposition of autocratic forces everywhere.

Written at different times over the course of the past 15 years or so, each of the ten essays in this volume addresses a different aspect of this process. Taken together they cast a bright light on the truth of Jewish history and the Jewish people.
