“Manna” Explores the evidence that Christ was the leader of a Pagan Cult teaching a revival/renaissance of an ancient mushroom ritual learned in Egypt by Moses and Christ, a mushroom religion known also to the Maya of ancient Mesoamerica, and around the world. The Manna-Book asks if this knowledge was kept secret by an elite caste of priests within the Kabalistic Jewish Rabbis until such a time as Christ came and taught it to the masses. - Unsubscribed , posted 09/25/06 |

If I ever marry I will fall in love with her voice. She can sing softly when I am far away to ease my heart with sounds and tones coos and whispers lullabies in the night arias when she comes hums to silent chansons whistles while she waters the plants. In Ordinary Life in Three Acts (www.ordinarylifeinthreeacts.com), Daniel Roth, the "anti-poetry poet", proves that truth can be found in the most reductive of poetic structure. Fluffy and elaborate verse is unnecessary when it comes to expressing the beauty and rawness of life. When asked "Why reductive?" he said that, "People seem to range between dislike and indifference when it comes to poetry. It often obscures. Readers tend to feel stupid because so many poems appear to make no sense. I have no need to confuse anyone." This collection of poems reflects the arc of Daniel's life. From fish fries in Mississippi, juke joints in South Central L.A., barefoot dances under the Sahara Desert sky, to whirling on the beaches of Morocco to the trance of Gnawa music, these poems reflect a joy, a curiosity and love of what is best, most authentic in people and cultures all over the planet. The poems are about love, loss, curiosity, a life embraced in all its turmoil, richness and heartbreak. Please visit the Ordinary Life in Three Acts website where you can read more of Daniel's poetry, read reviews, order the book, or just watch one of his many dances in the desert on film. If you resonate with what you see, please send this on to your email groups because this is an attempt to break past the old paradigm of publishing houses. This book is only being promoted through the internet to show that information, whether it is art, poetry, or news, can be spread no matter what. With the internet, we now have the freedom to share anything we want with the world. - Daniel , posted 09/15/06 |
