How to Escape from Hell

How to Escape from Hell: Studies & Interpretations of the Afterlife explores one of humanities most important questions, “What happens when we die, what is Hell, and am I going there?”

A near-death experience (NDE) is a profound personal experience associated with death or impending death. It is estimated between 4 to 15% of our entire global population experience an NDE. This equates to around 20 million people in the US, 50 million in Europe and 100 million in China. Only a small fraction of these experiences are ever reported. Of these reports, a small but notable number report the horrifying and graphic realm of Hell and demons.

Are you destined for Hell? If you are, what can you do about it? If you find yourself in Hell, how do you escape? Through extensive research of thousands of witness accounts, we will find the answer together.

Humanity

Many of the difficulties we face in life are within ourselves. It is the constant war within that exhausts so many people. If we are to make our way to higher ground, we must come to terms with the many weaknesses of the human condition. Arrogance, that sense of superiority, greed, and envy are just a few. We must reach out beyond these things to the soul of the being if we are to have any hope of finding who we are. If we make contact, we will find a spiritual space where we can thrive, where we can expand our horizons, come to terms with, except that we are just one part of nature journeying through the greater scheme of things. To accept is to be at one. It is not easy, in many ways, we are groping in the dark, not sure what we want, not sure that we want to find it. This is where humanity is stationed. For what it is worth, I believe we are part of something greater. Something beyond our human comprehension. That is what this collection of poetry is about. Reaching out to that something; that something other.

Hung Out to Dry

April 2018. Two and a half years have passed since the unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Barbados’ Prime Minister, Jeffrey Motby. His surprisingly quick and full recovery had enabled him, just eight months later, to lead his Barbados United Party (BUP) to a third successive general election victory. Policies and projects were working. The UK vehicle investment project he had directly masterminded had reduced unemployment to just over eight per cent. England’s Test cricket team was set to visit Barbados to play a resurgent West Indies. A royal visit to Barbados and St Vincent and the Grenadines was scheduled and the Prime Minister’s daughter planned to marry shortly. There were no known crises on the horizon.

But situations can change quickly. Major, unexpected actions disrupt the best laid plans of the government. A perfect storm? The Organisation comes to town; there is a mid-morning prisoners’ escape and the un-explained disappearance of a senior government official. A botched night robbery in a prime tourism nightspot is also witnessed by a top overseas journalist. A response by government is required as other scheduled sporting and entertainment events become part of the mix. Barbados’ long-established reputation for stability, hospitality and security is threatened by this convergence of events.

The Prime Minister, also the current CARICOM Chairman, demands rapid answers and an early return to normalcy. Events inadvertently connect a senior BIB operative who is hung out to dry. Nothing is what it seems. Can Barbados’ robust law enforcement agencies combine to save the country’s stellar reputation?

I'll Draw an Iris on my Heart and send it to You

The thing about poetry is, that
She has but the simplest of rules.
She does not have to rhyme,
Nor be written in clear lines.
She doesn’t even need true letters,
All she has to do, is move the spirit, break the heart and mend an injured soul.
