On the verge of a new millennium, in an age of unprecedented affluence, personal freedom and scientific power, millions of us--young and not so young--find ourselves emotionally and morally adrift. Even as our mastery of the material world reaches new heights almost daily, mastery of the inner world--of our own actions, emotions, and deepest hopes--often tragically eludes our grasp. As families come apart, adults become bitter and emotionally detached. Children fall prey to a "culture" of sex and drugs, cynical materialism, and self-destructive nihilism. It increasingly seems that, in the piercing words of Jesus, we have "gained the whole world, and lost our own souls." In A Return to Innocence, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Jeffrey M. Schwartz--a Jewish student of both Buddhist meditation and Christian philosophy--combines 3,000 years of wisdom with cutting edge brain and behavioral research to guide us in recovering our souls, our safety, our integrity and our capacity to love. After a 35-year experiment in unbridled self-gratification that has left a burden of tremendous suffering in its wake, at last we are ready to understand that innocence--in its original meaning of "not harming"--is actually the highest and most difficult of human achievements. The lost art of self-command that empowers us not to harm ourselves or one another is the core teaching of humanity's greatest spiritual masters, including Moses, Jesus, and Buddha. If we value our children, our culture, even our very freedom, we must return to true innocence as our source of inner lightness, clarity and spiritual power. A practical path to this wellspring of inner purity was mapped out 2,500 years ago by Gotama Buddha--in Dr. Schwartz's view the greatest psychologist who ever lived--whose still-fresh insights into human nature can serve as a bridge joining the wisdom of the Bible to the discoveries of 21st century science. A deeply felt, thought-provoking exchange of letters between "spiritual coach" Dr. Schwartz and sixteen-year-old Patrick Buckley, the son of a single mother, frames this fascinating, powerful code for living that shows how the best in each of us can thrive. Spiritual and philosophical ideas become hands-on tools for dealing with real-life dilemmas as Dr. Schwartz addresses Patrick's urgent questions about morality, responsibility, and freedom of choice. This book offers an empowering combination of hope, inspiration, accurate information about the biology of human nature, as well as desperately-needed guidance for keeping that nature on a life-affirming path. To everyone--young and old--A Return to Innocence offers dynamic, concrete solutions for the pain in our hearts, the fear in our streets, and the cynicism that has corroded our ideals. It speaks directly to our longing for a decent, meaningful, and fulfilling life. The traditional values that made civilization possible were thought to be outrageously radical and daring when they were first introduced by revolutionaries like Moses, Buddha, Jesus and Mohammed. . . . Yet those codes of behavior became "traditional"--that is, they got handed down from generation to generation--for one simple reason: they work. And they work because they're based on a highly sophisticated and deeply wise understanding of human nature. We often hear the phrase "Knowledge is power"--but nowhere is it truer than when it comes to knowledge of ourselves. Are we humans primarily driven, or "drivers"? Are we blameless puppets of our genes, our hormones, our childhoods, or do we have the power, and so the responsibility, to choose what we will do? In our day and age, everyone wants to be, or at least appear to be, streetwise, experienced, cool, and cynical. What people don't realize is that the source of the word "innocent" is a place of great power. It comes from the Latin words for "not" and "to harm." True innocence is the highest of human accomplishments. Not doing harm requires the utmost in awareness, effort, and courage. The state of the world begins right here--in the state of your mind.

Return to Innocence Elizabeth Roane Sometimes the keys to our future are held in the past, in things ignored but not silent. When war ended in Europe, Roger, like most young men, returned to his life in Newcastle, married his sweetheart, and began his life of peace after years of turmoil and danger. Then night terrors started, and the distant carnage of World War II invaded his home, his marriage, and his mind. Roger Whitehead's story continues in this long-awaited sequel to In Search of Honor. It maps his journey with God as he wades through war's debris of fragmented memories and half-truths. Riddled with unanswered questions about the family he knows and the one he stumbled into in France, he returns to the continent in search of answers and to silence his ghosts. Join Roger as he faces life's great conflicts between love and hate, life and death, justice and forgiveness, heaven and hell. Travel with him as he unearths his lost history, revealing its beautiful story of lasting love and divine purpose. Witness miraculous convergences between heaven and earth interlocking his past, present, and future into a testimony of ordained destiny. Then experience triumph as a victorious messenger alters the lives of all his loved ones. 1

The Return To Innocence is a powerful drama set against the harsh and turbulent background of prejudice gang distinction in the ghetto streets of Los Angeles. It is a story of redemtion and the desire to achieve dreams. Young mechanic Jerome Forlane falls deeply in love with Charmaine Lewis the daughter of gospel church going parents. Their love unites them however the streets threaten to stand in their way. Jerome is sent to prison for a rushed and regrettable favour and Charmaine enters a talent contest organised by a local radio station and wins. It is a great coincidence that Charmaines first debut single comes out in the shops on the same day as Jerome is released from prison. They are again united in better circumstances and the story on how they communicate via letters and radio is magical.

Genesis I believe you make the world a better place from within for reality starts with thought. Thought without guidance of a pure heart creates sadness. So many people are sad. Rich people, poor people, people who lost their dreams blaming the world they created in their minds. I came into this world with a smile and a passion, but too stubborn to realize what the real battle is. I am beginning to understand some things after all these years. And I have suffered for giving up on my dreams and betraying my moral fabric. Nevermore. I believe I have some insights through my poems from personal tragedy, indiscretions, refocus, and newfound faith. There is something intrinsic to the American Dream, to doing what is right in your heart despite the harsh words permeating our world. Everyone wants to pursue their dreams within the quiet embrace of innocence. This is what Return to Innocence is all about and a hopeful inspiration for you.

In the summer of 1974, after losing his mom to cancer, Billy McMillon, an inquisitive eight-year-old boy with an innate need to be near nature, goes on a sailing expedition with his eccentric grandfather, a famous scientist who is on a mission to uncover the truth behind a mysterious illness plaguing pods of bottlenose dolphins. Suddenly, tragedy strikes, and young Billy’s life is turned upside down for a second time. He’s back in New York, living with his Nana and shedding the memories of his extraordinary adventure with his grandfather. Years later, Bill finds himself looking back on his accomplishments. A marine architect, he seems to have it all—a great career, a beautiful home in New York, a loving wife, and two healthy, well-adjusted daughters. By all accounts, he’s a success. Why should it matter that he hasn’t set foot on a boat in over twenty years, he prefers the countryside to the big city, or that he’s quite reclusive and distant toward his family? When his curious seven-year old daughter, Brooke, urges him to explain the contents of a mysterious box she finds, Bill comes face-to-face with his past, and suddenly, everything matters. A reflective tale of one man’s attempt to build a relationship with his daughter through sharing stories from his unconventional childhood, rich with a bounty of unusual characters set amidst the beautiful canvas of the British Virgin Islands, A Return to Innocence is a whirlwind full of emotion, imagination, and adventure.
