Book Description
Just north of Detroit in a 1960’s neighborhood, a group of kids, Ted, Natalie, Mitch, Greg, and Jim make a promise never to reveal how they write their secret messages. As they grow up, they remain friends throughout their lives. They stand up for each other’s weddings and attend the birthday parties of each other’s children. However, on the fiftieth anniversary of having met on Matthew Street, their childhood promise, results in them being recruited by the CIA for a deadly mission which will test their friendships to the breaking point. The CIA has discovered that the pope is missing and has been replaced by an extraterrestrial imposter. However, that is top secret information and only those on a “need to know” basis are privy to it. The U.S. Government cannot be involved, so they enlist a third party to be the face of their operation. The Matthew Street Gang is charged with the task to eliminate the imposter and close the portal above First Nation Ridge in Arizona. But when several people go missing and everything points to the Vatican observatory, three Apache scouts get involved, and the life-long friends must finally recognize the true identity of their enemies or die!

Sedona City of the Star People
Author: Mark Pinkham
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781939149541
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Sedona: City of the Star People reveals the esoteric history of Sedona, Arizona, which author Pinkham says was known in very ancient times as Palatkwapi, the "Red House." According to Hopi legend, Extraterrestrial Star People built Palatkwapi as a glorious city of sacred wisdom. It was here that the migrating Hopis learned their sacred rites and dances, as well as many mysteries of the universe. Since 1987, author Mark Amaru Pinkham has been blessed with the ability to envision Palatkwapi as it exists now-an interdimensional city that co-exists with the physical town of Sedona. Many of Palatkwapi's temples continue to exist physically within Sedona in a water-worn condition, and on higher dimensions they survive in their original perfection. In Sedona: City of the Star People Mark recounts his first experiences with the temples of Palatkwapi in Boynton Canyon, the largest of the four major vortexes of Sedona, and then he shares his experiences during the following 27 years as he continuously returns to study their design and function. The book culminates in Mark's discovery of a royal court composed of red rock temples that he now identifies as the ancient seat of the Hopis' King of the World, the Star Being known as Masau'u. Through his direct study with the Yezidi priests of Iraq, Mark has further discovered that Masau'u is another name for the Yezidis' King of the World, Tawsi Melek, the Peacock Angel, and that the planetary monarch is due to soon make his presence known among the masses. Could it be in Sedona?

THE STAR PEOPLE (YEAR 1923)
The Spirit and the Sky
Author: Mark Hollabaugh
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496201450
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
The interest of nineteenth-century Lakotas in the Sun, the Moon, and the stars was an essential part of their never-ending quest to understand their world. The Spirit and the Sky presents a survey of the ethnoastronomy of the nineteenth-century Lakotas and relates Lakota astronomy to their cultural practices and beliefs. The center of Lakota belief is the incomprehensible, extraordinary, and sacred nature of the world in which they live. The earth beneath and the stars above constitute their holistic world. Mark Hollabaugh offers a detailed analysis of aspects of Lakota culture that have a bearing on Lakota astronomy, including telling time, their names for the stars and constellations as they appeared from the Great Plains, and the phenomena of meteor showers, eclipses, and the aurora borealis. Hollabaugh’s explanation of the cause of the aurora that occurred at the death of Black Elk in 1950 is a new contribution to ethnoastronomy.
