Introduction to the Updated Expanded Edition With the feedback from
our readers we expanded our first edition's content. We have fixed
the few errors and rare factual inaccuracies we had found. Several
readers asked that we look at and make meaning about more of their
songs. We have done that with three (see next page): 'Question, '
'New Horizons, ' and 'I'm just a singer' (in a R&R band). Just
after completing this book we went on their first "Moodies Cruise"
and now include a summary of our experience there. We obtained the
new Timeless Flight box set that was released three months after
this book and listened to the CDs and watched its DVD video
material. We also read their extensive accompanying "coffee table"
sized book. We have read the many online comments on this box set
and have included a relevant few of them in our 7 page review of
this large box set. This is a landmark book by two long-time Moody
Blues fans. In this book we examine and bring to light the music
and message of this great band of poets and musicians who have
produced hit music for almost 50 years Here's a little on what our
book is about and the areas that we explore: How they are unique
among bands and music groups What critics and others have said The
nature of their musical magic and message How the Moodies' words
and music work, song by song Using 7 levels of listening to their
music Why listening to their music raises our consciousness How
their fans have listened consistently for so long Why they have
excelled for nearly ve decades From the Foreword by Moody Blues
co-founder, keyboardist and vocalist Mike Pinder "It was very
interesting to read Charles and Barbara Whitfield's interpretations
of our music and message. They suggest clear and useful ideas and
ways for those who are newly exploring our music and for the many
who have been on this journey with us from the beginning. I have
always been interested in the broader qualities of music to inform,
heal, raise consciousness and uplift. This was often on my mind
when I wrote a song or painted the backdrop for others in the band
with counter melodies and my Mellotron. In contrast to most
observers of our music, I saw how the authors here delve below the
surface and give us an enjoyable interpretation of our words and
music. They examine essentially their every aspect. Not only do
they address our lyrics from a scholarly and poetic perspective,
but they offer us some insightful and sometimes surprising
interpretations of them beyond what many listeners and fans may
consider. Music has changed our world. It has the potential for
reaching within, opening our minds and our hearts to the power of
Universal Love. It transforms, strengthens, relaxes, teaches and
enlightens us. The Whitfields realize these truths and give us a
strong base from which to experientially understand them. They
integrate the many positive messages of our words and music by
giving us a clear and constructive map of healing that is on the
cutting edge of psychology, consciousness studies and spirituality.
Memories are also closely associated with music. I have always
thought that we hang our memories on the shape of sound. With
memorable melodies, counter melodies and instrumentation we were
able to create soundscapes for many to hang the best memories of
their lives. Those of us who remember the 1960s and beyond will
appreciate their attention to the detail of our works and the
history of how it all came about. They show us how the Moodies have
expressed, preserved and continue to remind us of the message and
wisdom of the 60s by keeping it so alive. And how there was a
natural spirituality that still lives in all of us and that is
manifested in our descriptions of Love."

Psychiatry today is not as advertised, as bestselling author
Charles Whitfield describes in this scientifically accurate new
book. It exposes the pseudo science behind modern biological
psychiatry that misdiagnoses people who have painful emotional,
psychological and behavioral symptoms as being mentally ill and
then mistreats them with toxic psychiatric drugs that don t work
well or make them worse. Dr Whitfield blows the whistle on and
names the culprits that promote bio-psychiatry for profit and
control and explains why and how to avoid their mind- and body-
manipulations. Most of these culprits are the Bigs, which include
Big Pharma, Big Government, Big Insurance, Big Academia and Big
Professional groups (as the American Psychiatric Association,
American Medical Association and the National Alliance on Mental
Illness). Each of the Bigs promotes and supports the misdiagnosis
and mistreatment of what they call mental illness, which Dr
Whitfield documents is instead the painful effects of repeated
childhood and later trauma, which he explains in some detail.
Throughout he describes how this major problem has developed and
how to heal from it.

In this techno-terrorist action thriller Robert Mallory Hershey
named his restaurant and bar on the Jersey Shore The Dirty Turban
because it was the most offensive name he could get a permit for.
Forced to resign from a storied law-enforcement career in the face
of racial profiling charges, Hershey would eventually be vindicated
when the men he was accused of profiling turned out to be members
of Al-Qaeda. The Congressional hearings that eventually lead to his
resignation thrust Hershey into the national political spotlight.
He used his fame to make his case. He didn't pull his punches. But
Al-Qaeda perceived Hershey as weak. They felt he could easily be
manipulated. They believed they could use him as part of a new
terror initiative and by kidnapping his wife, get him to betray his
country to further their cause. They were wrong. The Dirty Turban
is not a political statement. It is a story about a man, who, when
pushed to his limits, took matters into his own hands, and did what
was necessary to protect his family. This techno-terrorist action
thriller is in the same genre as The Fifth Horseman and The Sum of
All Fears. If you like Clancy, Brown or Crichton then you will love
The Dirty Turban.
Victim To Survivor and Thriver: Carole's StoryHope for survivors of
childhood trauma, abuse or neglect.By Barbara Harris
WhitfieldCarole was a victim of repeated child abuse. Her story
demonstrates the deep healing that is possible with knowledge, the
courage to face buried pain, and the love of safe others.Her
riveting true story is intertwined with my life and that of my
husband Charles Whitfield, MD (author of the bestselling Healing
the Child Within). This is our story, too, of walking together with
Carole along her path of recovery. As you read, you will learn how
Carole transformed her suffering and loss, a "less-than" life--
into joy for living and even serenity.This is not a fictional
account, nor has it been scrubbed clean of the horrors of living
with childhood abuse and neglect. In fact, Carole's story contains
a depth of sadness that only the adults that were repeatedly abused
as children may understand. Carole broke through --awoke-- to find
joy and laughter mixed with the tears of her realizations and she
turned them into strength, hope, confidence and finally peace. This
story of triumph over abuse is for all victims and those who care
for them; clinicians as well as loved ones.This story demonstrates
that: 1) When we think of ourselves as "victims" we believe we are
"depressed."2) When we enter into our own healing process, we
become "survivors" and experience the bittersweet movement of our
emotional pain.3) Finally, with the support of safe others --we
become "Thrivers" and live without fear. We become fully awake and
alive. We discover who we really are and we find serenity. In this
story I share my experiences and research into Near-Death
Experiences. Charles Whitfield brings to bear his knowledge and
experience with healing childhood trauma. And then the reader can
witness Carole sopping up our knowledge and love like a sponge. So
may you. Quotes from Carole's Story: "The thunderstorms are just as
beautiful as a sunny day. And so is life ""Carole's story is
beautiful and contains thunderstorms and sunny days --and they are
all framed with the courage and love we shared " This book includes
the latest research from the Centers for Disease Control on the
Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Study.It was reviewed by former
victims who have experienced the movement of survivorship and then
the transcendence to Thrivership.If you or someone you know has
gone through repeated abuse or trauma of any kind, then this
powerful story may bring what you have longed for -- a way to heal,
a way out of suffering, and the knowledge that you are not
alone.www.barbarawhitfield.com
The Empire we live under is crumbling. Its foundations are
collapsing. The source of new and unique ideas that once seemed
plentiful are now exhausted. However, there remains buried deep
within, a sign or a signal that offers another way. This sign is
found in the earliest creation myths. The time of this sign is
arriving...and it is growing stronger and bolder, appearing,
perhaps, as a self-fulfilling prophecy. We can see it now; we can
identify it all around us...and it has only one requirement: the
good taste to perceive it. Drawing upon well-known, and sometimes
obscure cultural and mythological references, author Charles T.
Laffoday weaves a tale of the appearance of this sign in society.
His characters are at once familiar and strange. They turn out to
be the keepers of our culture and of truly unique ideas. More
importantly, these guardians are all around us now... "A romp
through undulating cultural and personal landscapes that are at the
same time, lyrical and plain, frightening and comforting, familiar
and strange, painful and soothing. It is psychedelia meets the
modern age. Don't miss this book " Donald Brennan YakRider Media
