Flight Beyond the Stars
Stories of the Long Distance Flight to Creativity and Wholeness
What is it you want?
We struggle to become successful, to achieve. We learn as children to “wish upon a star.” Flight Beyond the Stars suggests new heights to dream of, to desire, and to achieve. In a competitive and specialized society Dr. Kelsey offers expanses and freedom.
The author believes and shows how the tangible, the here and now, is the take-off platform, for knowing and creating the journey to the metaphysical realities which the soul craves: self-satisfaction, right relationships, fulfillment, and a sense of truth and beauty in existence.
Seeing clearly what is in front of one, transports to the beyond.
Immigration at Its Best
Story of a German American Scholar, born 1933
Hans Dietz was twelve-years-old when the Royal Air Force began relentlessly bombing his homeland of Germany during World War II. Shortly after, the U.S. Army began its dangerous approach.
After the war was over, he yearned for a life under different conditions, and one of his mother’s relatives in Minnesota volunteered to sponsor him so he could move to the United States of America.
In this memoir, Dietz recalls embarking on a glorious adventure to a new land. As a young man with an open mind, his recollections are sincere, precious, and funny.
By sharing his story, he demonstrates how one moves from being an outsider to an American. While he came from humble origins, living in America gave him the opportunity to develop his delicate mind and become a teacher entrusted to lead other young minds to similar success.
With more people wondering what it means to be an American, how to view the immigrant experience, and what makes America so great, the story told in Immigration at Its Best is needed more than ever.
2022 and 2023 are devoted to revamping Earier books in the nature series.
