It was the worst Marine-on-Marine friendly fire incident in modern history. But it's not in the history books. An explosion in Fallujah, Iraq left three dead, a dozen wounded, and – for high-ranking officials – a dilemma. So, why were the families of the deceased lied to? Why did the reports mysteriously disappear? And why do survivors still have to wonder about what happened on the worst day of their lives? Taking Cover, an NPR investigative series from the Embedded podcast, isn't just a show about unraveling blue-on-blue tragedy during the Iraq war. It's about what happens when we send our young to war. It's a story of betrayal, brotherhood, and what's owed – to families, the wounded and to the American public.

- The Pasithea PowderFiction 23 May 2023
The Pasithea Powder is a monthly audio drama from Bad Wine Productions. On a faraway world, Captain Sophie Green is recovering from a war that ripped her planet apart and left her personal relationships for dead. Among the many atrocities committed on both sides was the invention of Pasithea Powder, a drug with memory altering properties. Thankfully, the drug has been eradicated and only a handful of scientists—now political prisoners—know how to recreate it. When Sophie sees one of those scientists walking free, she has no choice but to turn to an estranged friend for help.
Do you have a strong sense that there’s something more? More to reality? More to you? Do you feel the weight of your childhood and cultural conditioning and despite having worked to shrug it off, see that it somehow remains?
Do you intuit that the world could be a much healthier place? Have you learned about and tried different practices only to dead-end, leaving you to wonder, “Is this it?” Have the models you’ve learned left things out, left your deepest questions unanswered?
The emotospiritual paradigm of Edenity addresses issues like these from an entirely different basis than other psychospiritual worldviews past or present. Embodiment of its three dharmas within one lifetime is the state of Edenity, an effortless unification of the personal, nondual, universal, and devotional domains of consciousness into one gestalt.
We can have the experience of earth-as-heaven, but not as any utopia or heaven-on-earth, no escape from, or transcendence of earthen existence. This allows us to personally validate the final closure of the millennial-old chasm between humanity and spirituality, a true grounded and mature humanness that can then fluently resonate with the many Divine Bandwidths of Being and Love.
This podcast is a presentation of Edenity through interviews with its founder, Stace Barron. It's best listened to in order, from the beginning. Also available on YouTube at: www.youtube.com/@theheartofsoul

- The Leavenworth Case by Anna Katharine GreenArts 2 Jan
Horatio Leavenworth, an immensely wealthy bachelor, is a retired merchant who enjoys great social position and respect. His two orphan nieces, Mary and Eleanor live with him in a luxurious mansion in New York's upscale Fifth Avenue. One morning, he is found mysteriously dead in his study, shot neatly through the back of his head. His will, written some time earlier, is discovered, in which he has left his entire fortune to one of the nieces, while cutting out the other completely. The building, which had remained locked throughout the night, houses a number of servants besides the two young ladies. The finger of suspicion can point only to someone inside.
Written nine years before the advent of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, The Leavenworth Case is little known today. However, connoisseurs of detective fiction would immediately recognize this genre reating work by an author who is now acknowledged as “the mother of detective fiction.” The book published in 1878 was the first ever American detective novel. It was a runaway bestseller and Anna Katharine Green, its thirty-two year old author, is credited with many other firsts. She was the first writer to develop the “whodunit” in its classic form. She also created the “series detective” which is a device that has been explored by countless writers of mystery novels to this day.
Another invention of hers was the “girl detective” as an amateur young woman who stumbles into mysteries and solves them by dint of brilliant, logical thinking and solid leg work. Other innovations that Green is credited with are the wispy spinster, Amelia Butterworth, an early forerunner to Agatha Christie's little old maid, Miss Marple. The detective, Ebenezer Gryce, who featured in nearly a dozen of Green's later books is a portly, comfortable looking, unassuming, shy fellow whose brilliant talents are kept well hidden. Various plot devices like bodies in the library, locked room mysteries, expert witnesses and the legal aspects of detective story have their origin in Green's novels. In fact, she was so highly regarded in her time that Yale Law School used her books to teach classes in the damaging effects of using circ*mstantial evidence while arguing a case.
The Leavenworth Case is a complex, intriguing and thoroughly gripping mystery, full of unexpected twists and turns. This is a great addition to your bookshelf and could well be the first of a collection of the more than thirty books written by a regrettably forgotten master of the craft.
