This writing is not meant to replace any legitimate doctors care, and you are free to share this information with any professional that you feel has not been so energetically affected by alien spirit to where their judgment would be too compromised to benefit you. Surely a doctor can find even more possibilities other than what I have found helpful to work with consistency in this writing; otherwise, this writing could prove to be a beneficial supplemental aid to the unusual energetic alien operations happening among us and hopefully help bring more of a balanced (or removal to any imbalanced) energy trying to engage you with the ability to ritually cause sickness and/or disease.

Built on the foundation of their landmark Handbook of Qualitative Research, it extends beyond the investigation of qualitative inquiry itself to explore the indigenous and non-indigenous voices that inform research, policy, politics, and social justice.

Unspeakable probes the relationship between trauma theory and Christian theology in order to support preachers in the task of crafting sermons that adequately respond to trauma in the pews and the world at large. How might sermons contribute to resiliency and the repairing of wounds caused by traumatic experiences? This book seeks to provide a theological lens for preachers who wonder how their ‘beautiful words’ can address suffering amid traumatic wounding. Preaching is a healing discourse that proclaims gospel, or good news. Gospel is a complicated reality, especially in the face of trauma. Drawing on various theologies and insights from trauma theory, Unspeakable challenges the notion of a triumphant gospel, seeking an in-between perspective that honors both resurrection and the trauma that remains despite our desire to get to the good news. It builds on images of the preacher as witness and midwife in order to develop homiletical practices that acknowledge the limitations of language and imagination experienced by traumatized individuals.

The purpose of the mind is to create self. The purpose of the renewed mind is to create self in the image and likeness of God in both form and function. The mind is not in the brain. The mind is born in darkness. It has to learn everything. The mind/spirit is a mirror image of the body/brain. A mind-body marriage. The mind answers the brain's what, when, and where questions with the how, who, and most importantly, why answers. The mind is a prosecutorial tool, always seeking after the truth. The mind must have a reason for the behavior of the body. Trust is the movement of faith. Revelation is experiential knowledge imprinted within our being.
