A comprehensive guide to ibogaine’s healing power, cultural roots, and clinical potential • Explores how ibogaine works, including how it boosts cellular function, increases neuroplasticity, and interrupts habitual behavior patterns and trauma • Discusses the ritual roots of iboga in the Bwiti spiritual tradition of Gabon • Shares case studies showing ibogaine’s healing effects for addiction recovery, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and Parkinson’s The root bark of iboga is revered and stewarded by practitioners of the Bwiti spiritual tradition of Gabon. International expert Jonathan Dickinson explores how ibogaine, the primary active alkaloid found in iboga, is now emerging as one of the most promising tools for combating not only addiction, but also neurological injury and disease. Grounded in fieldwork and over 15 years of clinical observation, Dickinson discusses the roots of ibogaine as a tool of ritual spirituality in both the traditional and modern contexts. Considering the subjective states that ibogaine produces in the mind, he hypothesizes that ibogaine induces a “bicameral state.” This is a liminal mode of being in which ancient voices, archetypes, and internal guidance systems emerge, often catalyzing profound reorganization of memory, identity, and behavior. Exploring the potential of ibogaine in addiction recovery and neuro-regenerative medicine, the author examines how ibogaine can alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms and minimize cravings afterward. He details how it boosts cellular function and increases neuroplasticity, and shares impressive case studies to demonstrate how ibogaine has successfully treated traumatic brain injury (TBI), Parkinson’s, neuropathic pain, and multiple sclerosis. This guide offers not only a deeper understanding of this transformational psychedelic medicine, but a new framework for engaging with the complexity and therapeutic potential of altered states of consciousness.

Ray Perry was a farm boy from rural West Texas when America entered World War II. He always had a fascination with planes, so he joined the U. S. Army Air Corps with the intention of becoming a pilot. The Army Air Corps needed tail gunners, however, so Ray served his country at the back end of a B-17, completing thirty-five combat missions before the war's end. This is the story of his World War II adventure, wrought with tragedy and excitement and every emotion in between. This is also the story of how a young man from a small West Texas town handled the upheaval that comes with war. Based off numerous primary source materials, Ray's story unfolds through his letters, photos, and mementos. The book's foreword is written by his son, and former Texas governor, Rick Perry." I never was rattled . . . . I could never remember really being scared. I know I was. Had to be. But I had control of it.""The pilot sent the radio operator back there to see if they got me . . . and he climbed, crawled, right there beside the side of that tail wheel, and he never did get back all the way where I was at, but he . . . saw me sitting up and he saw me move a little. So, he went back and told the pilot, "I guess he's alright. I think he's still alive." - Ray Perry, from the book

In On My Honor, Texas governor Rick Perry, through the legacy of the Boy Scouts ofAmerica, takes dead aim at the moral relativism of the secular humanist movement, indicting its corrosive impact on the culture. Examining the left's legal assaults on the Boy Scouts of America - which span more than 30 years - Perry offers prescient insight into this multi-faceted war, which pits the proponents of traditional American values against the radical leftist movement that seeks to tear down our social foundations. On My Honor underscores the depth to which the culture warriors of the left will go to force their secular humanist minority view upon American society and revered American institutions. It is a revealing look at a culture war that rages close to the surface of American life, and it is a must read for any American concerned that our society is slipping from the high moral ground of liberty to the valley of license.

Bailouts, spending increases and a re-engineered health care system are just a few ways Washington politicians have launched a major expansion of the federal government in response to our recent economic turmoil. Texas Governor Rick Perry argues that the almost daily federal expansion we are witnessing is a dangerous, unconstitutional intrusion on states' rights and individual liberties. Perry shows how an increasing concentration of power in Washington will lead to further unsustainable debt, greater limits on opportunity and success and a permanent dependency class - adding up to a completely failed nation and one of the very sort that the Colonists fought against. He examines the wisdom of local control and speaks up for the protection of the 10th Amendment principles that place power in the hands of the people. Perry issues a persuasive rallying cry for Americans to rise up and demand that power be returned to the people and the states - and he revives the call for freedom and opportunity in the glorious absence of government intrusion.
