War in the Hearts of Men
Eli Coberly is a world traveler and seeker of truth through adventure. At seventeen fulfilled his dream, becoming an Army paratrooper. At twenty, he was honorably discharged and began his search for a new dream. Eli’s writing has taken him worldwide to explore a few of the bigger questions of our human existence, and his prophetic worldview combines military service, counterculture, and the anthropology and archeology of the world’s religious symbols. He has studied the migration of the indigenous and ingested their medicine, absorbed their art, and embodied their cosmovision. In War in the Hearts of Men, Eli’s book, he details his lifelong quest to understand the Maya culture and its impact on the present. He shares his discovery of artistry of stone-carved symbols on the heels of his extensive travels to Central and South America. Coberly contrasts contemporary life with the past as he explores spiritual rituals that formed the framework of the ancient Maya culture. War in the Hearts of Men, which identifies and interprets the historical ideologies that suppressed the feminine, displayed the cultural imbalances caused by rampant colonialism, and resulted in the subjugation of Native populations over many centuries, furthers the journey onward for enlightenment sought by those wise enough to learn from the past.

The Business of Death
Kim, regular listener Ron and many others suffered the loss of a loved on this past year. If you are in the group, feel free to call and join us. The fact that grief from loss is a painful ongoing process goes without saying. One aspect not discussed quite as much is the “death business”, from the Dr’s, to mortuary, hospice, to SS, to insurance and much more. I heard things like “We prioritize you and your family’s wishes above all else.” Words like “compassionate, dignified, professional”… That didn’t ring true in practice, but mostly in the brochures and pamphlets. Join us for some harsh realities heaped on the death experience, which adds to the reality of the life experience.
