It was love at first sight. I saw her one day while watching a television program about King Tut, the boy King of Egypt whose tomb had been discovered by Howard Carter years before. I was looking at the famous bust of a beautiful Egyptian Queen. Her elegant face, long neck and stunning eyes exemplified human perfection of the highest order. Who was she? What was her life? How did she live? Who did she love and what were her deepest thoughts? All of these questions represented mysteries to solve. Her beauty had inspired these questions; men could not help thinking that the mystery ...

This book is Volume 1 of a two-volume work on “How they Wrote the Gospels”. It lays the foundation for many of the ideas presented in the companion “Volume 2” book. Needless to say, I hold that there was a conspiracy of a team of men whose goal was to secretly convert the Roman general Titus into a benign, love-laden Jewish prophet, and to back date him to remove him from the times in which he lived. What these conspirators wanted to do was to preserve the ideas of this Roman general, thought to be so inspiring and important that they didn’t want to lose them and have them buried ...

Today, there are few conservatives who openly advocate capitalism. Today’s conservative “capitalists” are not even “capitalists” in name only; and in another sense, they are not even conservatives. They are, more specifically, as we will see, pragmatists. In my previous “Boomer” book, I focused on those elements of the left whose main focus as political actors was to 1) be very close to the leftist power structure, and 2) openly seek dictatorship. I will take the same approach when discussing what I call the far right. In a sense, one element of the far right today holds that ...

I believe it is the focus on religion that represents one of the major problems of the First Amendment. If you focus only on protecting freedom of religion, you ignore the other areas of expression, especially the opposite of religion which is atheism. Shouldn’t there be a freedom to unbelief? By ignoring the wider concept of freedom of philosophy, you set the stage for a distorted perspective on freedom of speech. This ignores the freedom of people not to believe as well as the freedom of people to create entirely new fields that are influenced by science and the pursuit of new knowledge...

The enemies of man include both left and right. In order to decide what our futures should be, we must understand what left and right have in common, and what is keeping us from advancing proper principles. We should understand what is wrong with both left and right.

Paul and Jesus are joined in one important way; the way of a miracle. They met one day on the road to Damascus while Paul supposedly pursued Christians. Jesus, in a sense, told Paul to get with the program and stop persecuting his people. In this incident, the Bible tells us, Jesus is already dead, resurrected and leading his flock from his throne in heaven. He spoke to Paul as from a dream, knocking him from his horse and speaking to him as a spirit. It is thought he gave Paul the gift of enlightenment, a new brighter vision of a world ruled by Jesus and his Father in heaven. Paul had been...

My goal in this book is to explore the impact of nihilism in society. As I mentioned above, nihilism is the desire to destroy values, and through this process, to destroy civilization. This is no small matter because nihilism seeks to impact all lives currently benefiting from advanced civilization. Nihilism centers around one concept: the desire to destroy human valuing. Today, nihilists are out in force. They own the media, entertainment, politics, education, publication and the Internet. There are virtually no voices against them and those few who fight them are locked out. Twitter "...

This short book is based upon Mr. Villegas' book "Finding Sponsors for Sport and Entertainment". It is also based upon a course that he taught for an organization managing Indiana Parks and Recreation facilities. It is, in a sense, a condensation of information from the book geared toward organizations that would like to earn revenues on their facilities through corporate sponsorship.

These beautiful poetic expressions represent some of Mr. Villegas' youngest thoughts while he lived and traveled to many locations around the world. They range from the romantic to the enlightened.

The goal of this booklet is to introduce young people to the economic system known as capitalism. It is my contention that capitalism is the best economic system in the world. The benefits of capitalism have been left out of the discussion in our universities, and I consider this a travesty. In fact, most college professors today know that if young people were to become aware of the benefits of capitalism, they would reject fascism, communism and socialism, each of which are coercive in nature. Scholars, college professors, and politicians today (properly called pragmatists) have engaged in...

Today, our culture is inundated with collectivism, the idea that man belongs to the group and must obey the group’s moral pronouncements. We are told we belong to the family, the community, the church, the race, the ethnic group, etc. We are told that only the collective is important and that sacrifice to the group is the only moral act. This book seeks a different perspective. It holds that the individual is supremely important and an end in him or herself, not to be used by collectivist leaders for the sake of "common" goals. This book is “succinctly written and conveys complex ...

Johnny is a Spanish guitar player with a mysterious past. At a party, he meets the beautiful songstress Aphrodite who is enthralled with his flamenco guitar skills. Later, she learns they have a connection, a particular song they both appear to know. Aphrodite discovers the connection, and through dreams, the two fall in love. The question is whether they will ever be together.

This second book (How They Wrote the Gospels Volume 2) fulfils the promise of the first volume “How They Wrote the Gospels”. This book surveys the literature about how the gospels might have been written. Falling firmly on the idea that the writing of the gospels was a project in which four or more writers had copies of a source document that they were charged with editing and converting into a document about the “Life of Jesus”. The source document in question was a history of the Jewish War probably written by Marcus Agrippa Jr and appropriated by his secretary, the man we call ...

In his book, Behind the Ritual Mask, the author introduced the concept of cultural paradigms. As a result of these paradigms, mankind has been led down the road of altruism, collectivism and the good/evil split, all of which desecrate the value of the individual. In his research for this book, he learned about a lost religion that has come down to us. This religion, although buried in pre-history, is still being practiced today. It is called The Battle of the Sexes.

Is it possible that the problems in the world are not caused by capitalism and rich people? Is it possible that anti-capitalism and anti-reason philosophies are nothing more than elaborate hoaxes designed to convince people to give up everything they have honestly earned and take it away from them? Is it possible they are caused by the re-distribution of capital to wasteful uses and the consequent destruction of jobs and affluence? Additionally, after spending millions of dollars to fix the economy or the environment, altruists will forget to ask if the problem is fixed. If they hear that ...

Calming the mind and quiet thinking are two new premises of rational meditation. This guide to rational thinking takes on mysticism, mindfulness and eastern religious influences by explaining how they do not help men live by means of reason and rational thinking. Mindfulness, in particular, is the meditation system of the left. The author shows how meditation can be done without mysticism, leftist philosophy and the denigration of the individual. Rational Meditation is not about collective joining with groups of like-minded people (Plato) and/or becoming Hephaistos (Freud and Jung). It is ...

This fictional work assumes that Adolf Hitler did not commit suicide in his Berlin bunker toward the end of World War II, but instead, was able to survive and escape to South America. This work presents the author’s reflection of the meaning of Nazism and fascism and attempts to extract that meaning from Hitler’s life and final words.

Addiction is only possible to a person who is in denial of his own problems and who needs an “excuse” for escaping from his anxiety. It is a self-deception that exacerbates an individual’s problems by offering short-term pleasure as a solution for long-term anxiety. Yet, without self-deception, addiction would not be possible. You can go through scientific study after scientific study and none of them deal with the fact that any consumption item or activity that produces pleasure (but not nourishment) requires an excuse (or an argument) for its intake. In truth, most people eat way ...
