This booklet is the companion workbook to my book Rational Meditation. It utilizes the various exercises described in the original book to assist you in contemplation or meditation and it provides space for written input by the reader through their Kindle Reader. The idea is to take the sections that involve written input and contemplation and to collect them into one practical “place” that the individual can use as he meditates on these matters. I have tried to supplement the book chapters where necessary in the original book.

This book is made up of several chapters about American values and how they can be defended without a descent into the abyss of dictatorship. The book argues for individual rights and provides reasons why we should fight for them.

I wrote this book to ask some important questions: 1. Will we become again a free people, deciding as individuals the direction of our lives or will we continue to be herded into groups and classes to be favored or rejected by a ruling elite? 2. Will we be free to start businesses, earn profits and keep those profits or will we be enslaved in order to feed the government as it advances social engineering and corporatist (cronyist) schemes? 3. Will we pay high taxes of low taxes? 4. Will we be allowed to participate in our own lives or be mindless slaves to the wishes of others? 5. Will we ...

Amerigo was born in a time of desperation and dystopia. He was the only man with the vision of a great future. Many repaired to his cause while others swore to destroy him. They wanted his life, his mind and everything he loved. He swore that no matter what they did, he would win the struggle for freedom and a new future.

This stage play is about the struggle of the main character, Ricard, who has recently been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol. The play chronicles his personal struggle to deal with how he became an alcoholic and how to repair his life. It focuses on his values, how to identify their role in his life, and how he can shed alcohol as a value. As he begins to understand what is important in his life, he begins the trek from his distorted value structure to what is important in life.

Is it possible that the problems in the world are not caused by capitalism and rich people? Is it possible that anti-capitalism and anti-reason philosophies are nothing more than elaborate hoaxes designed to convince people to give up everything they have honestly earned and take it away from them? Is it possible they are caused by the re-distribution of capital to wasteful uses and the consequent destruction of jobs and affluence? Additionally, after spending millions of dollars to fix the economy or the environment, altruists will forget to ask if the problem is fixed. If they hear that ...

This theatrical play is based upon poems from Mr. Villegas's book Poetic Prose and Poetry. Some of the poems have been slightly altered to reflect the internal story of the play. The title poem is about the citizen journalist and how he has changed the world through his computer.

This book is designed as a “shorter” explanation of the ideas presented in my larger book, “Behind the Ritual Mask” which seeks to define fundamental principles of religion. I’m hoping this book will serve as a primer for the original book and spur an interest in reading it. The following contains excerpts from the original Forward of the book.When an entrenched, anti-reason culture is presented with new ideas that challenge its fundamental premises, it relies on the power of what is taken as knowledge in the culture in order to defend itself. Indeed, when corrupt ideas are ...

This book is a follow up to the book I wrote entitled “How Pragmatism Destroyed a World”. In this earlier book, I proposed that the philosophy of pragmatism is the major problem causing confusion and doubt in our society. Everywhere we look, as we watch events, we see people intent on creating that confusion in order to “gaslight” people into accepting their rule. Various myths are being stoked and repeated to give people the impression there are “problems” that must be dealt with. The truth is that pragmatism is a gimmick and a deception.

The Short Play Adam Reborn has been joined by a short story originally entitled "The Garden" which started over 40 years ago as the precursor to the Play. This story has been updated and refurbished to give it a consistent new theme that joins the two works and gives a fresh perspective on the nature of man and the glory of human accomplishment. The result is a tribute to man's greatness and his unending pursuit of values.

How Pragmatism Destroyed a World is a powerful book about how ideas influence the most tragic events of history. It holds that everyone in the world has the same disease – and we are all dying from it. This is because much of man’s institutional knowledge descended from myths that ignored reality and existence. This so-called knowledge led to pragmatism and existential incompetence and this led to the brainwashing of the human mind. Since pragmatism is incapable of leading to understanding, and most of our leaders are educated in today’s universities, they are, almost as a group, ...

The materials in this document are intended for counselors who are seeking new tools and a new understanding of addiction without the almost obligatory religious perspective. In fact, this new perspective is secular – without religion – and provides some interesting insights for counselors dealing with patients who need that understanding. This document is the counselor’s companion document to the Patient version of this story entitle “The World’s First Drunk”. It contains a quiz for the patient and some talking points for group and individual discussion with the patient. The ...

We live in a city on a river. Our city is called New America, and our river is the river Styx. We don’t know how the river got this name, but it is a very wide body of water and, they say, on the other side of the river are some very bad people. We have been at war with them all our lives and almost all the news we receive is about the war and how our Supreme Leader is winning it. We give the bodies of our young to fight this war and some never return. They are lost in the greyness on the other side of the river. We never think about losing them because they don’t know their parents, ...
