When Inspiration Hits

I heard it told someone asked Country music star Willie Nelson where he got his songs from, he replied, ”I pluck ‘em out of the air!” Such notions only convince me that when fleeting inspiration strikes you, it’s like a gentle Spring shower, with a lubricating pelt here and another over there. Too often in my own life have I received a thought, or an inspirational idea, and not acted on it, only to discover down the road that someone else had run with it.

My wife and I for a period did volunteer religious work in Southeast Asia. After reestablishing in the Fort Worth area, I was still working with minority language materials in a home office. Usually, the work day was approached with singing and playing guitar, honoring God in the moment. One day I started to write down the lyrics to a song.

I didn’t stop until I had three verses and a solid chorus. You have to understand, this was the first song I had creatively written after an 11 year hiatus! I was shocked and amused at the same time. I remember being in the doorway, reading over the words scratched upon that yellow notepad. As if from behind me someone spoke, “Now, go sing it to prisoners in jail!”

Turning my head I honestly expected to see someone standing there behind me, yet there was no one, only that perceptibly audible voice. As I began to mentally argue, the voice came again even louder, “Now go sing it to prisoners in jail!”  With no one visible, again I mentally argued with the voice saying something like, “Don’t you see my language materials, my exegetical helps, my Bibles and notes, this is what I do!” The statement was confusing. The voice offered no explanation. Did he mean sing the song literally to people in jail, or figuratively, to folks generally? One last time I heard that audible voice speak the same thing.

Two weeks later my wife and I met the main chaplain at the local county jail who was over all the outside volunteer programs there at that jail. I tossed it out to him that I could sing a few hymns accompanied by guitar and if he could use that in his ministry, I wanted to be involved. (mentally I ‘talked’ to the voice, saying, see there, I opened the door). Not long after that he got me clearances, and we began a 3 ½ year association doing mini crusades in the jail lockdown pods. I’ll never forget that time, because when I sang that inspirational song, the largest, meanest-looking, bruising individuals would tear up, some cry. The truly amazing biblical story of God using Jesus to minister to just one single lost soul needing deliverance, became the Naked Gadarene Man song. I can only hope other listeners are moved as much by my song.

Babylon Working Still

Growing up during the NASA moon landings was a cool time indeed. It didn’t take long before we heard rumors that the next thing on the horizon was a colony if not an outright military base of some sort. Of course, there was an arms race going on, it was the Cold War, or so they said. Yet, many people don’t know that Jack Parsons (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) and L Ron Hubbard (Scientology) conducted a bizarre set of sexual rituals together with the intent of enthroning the ‘spirit essence’ of Babylon into the conception of a living being! Parsons died but not before testifying that the experiment had been a success. This was in the late 1940’s, and that female child would be in her 70’s today!

Parson’s brainchild, JPL, eventually morphed into what we now know as NASA. Has anyone else been bothered by all the ‘missions’ NASA conducted being named after characters in the pantheon of gods attributable to the Greco-Roman period? Couple that with what may be an occult design signature in the layout and construction of key governmental sites in Washington, D.C. and we’ve got the makings of a real conspiracy.

Dr. Thomas Horn  (Apollyon Rising 2012) cleared some of the mystery surrounding all these Greek and Roman characters, placing them within the greater picture of the ‘war in the Heavenlies.’ The Bible declares that Luciferic forces oppose the rule of Yeweh, and ever since the curse by Yeweh at that Archangel in Genesis 3:15, evil in the earth in all its forms has ramped up! Early on Nimrod, a mighty warrior set about to build a tower to reach up to heaven so he could kill Yeweh! Could it be that our beloved NASA has circumvented the platform tower in favor of rocket science propelling us there?

Where am I going with all this? Good question.  If you study the Old Testament for very long you will notice that God makes statements and uses the fixed order of the heavenly bodies to confirm the seriousness of his stated intent. As the heavens are ‘fixed’ so is the immutability of his word. Even Lucifer knew this, and sought to abrogate such when he used scripture to temp Christ in the wilderness. So then, this idea brings me to an avenue of thought I haven’t heard others mention before, use God’s own words against him!

Example:

Genesis 1:14  And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacret times, and days and years, (NIV)…Let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years, (Darby)

The prophet Daniel had visions of the future. In one vision… he speaks of a formidable character,

Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws:  (AKJV)

…and try to change the set times and the laws. (NIV)

…and think to change times and laws: (Darby)

The end-times leader is portrayed as evil, one who blasphemes God, one who will try to change the set (cosmic) laws and seasons! Why would he try to do this? To force God (Yeweh) to honor his word and reject Israel! Here’s the proof text:

Jeremiah 31:35,36

35 Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for light by day And the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; The Lord of hosts is His name;

36 “If this fixed order departs from before me,” declares the Lord, “Then the offspring of Israel also will cease from being a nation before Me forever.”

At one time both the United States and Russia considered ‘blowing up the moon.’ 2   Should we be so naive as to think Satan doesn’t have such in mind? I believe that ‘antichrist’ will attempt this through human agency, the precedent is already given! Babylon working may have happened in the dessert last Century, yet the ‘working’ has been an ongoing event. There is nothing Godly about the work of NASA no matter how cloaked with well sounding words. It’s all for reaching God with an index finger wagging!

It has been said of Bible truth that there needs be more than one ‘witness’ or proof to corroborate a supposition put forth regarding biblical text. In an earlier post, Don’t Pray For The Lost, I make the claim that there are people living today who simply cannot respond to the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.

Throughout the Bible we find that God does have written records concerning human beings on this earth, our names and our deeds, for by which we will be judged. However, there is a thread of understanding that God has a ‘Book of Life’ with names in it, and that book ultimately determines who will experience eternal life, and who will experience eternal damnation! The idea smacks of predestination.

From Moses through Revelation there is mention of God’s book of life. I had posited in that earlier post that there are (3) three classes of people, beginning with the idea that ALL potentially ‘saved’ individuals have their names written in the book even before they were born! Only by the criteria Jesus Christ possesses can/and are they scratched out of his book (Revelation  3:5). However, there is a third class that “…never had their names written in the Lamb’s book of life from the foundation of the world!” (Revelation 13:8) Interesting, eh?

This would mean a group of people who individually and collectively cannot respond to the Gospel message so as to be saved. It’s impossible for them to do so! Here’s an interesting proof text. In this situation the Word of God is being sown (thrown out there) landing upon various types of soils representing the hearts of those who hear:

Luke 8:12 Young’s Literal Translation (YLT)

¹² and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved. (courtesy of Biblegateway.com)

Other translations offer similar language, these folks may hear the Word of God preached, but that is as far as it goes! In this class of individuals, people cannot break away from being in this group, in the same regard that their names have never been written in God’s Book of Life! Considering the parable of the Wheat and Tares, these plants live side by side each other in the field, but are not the same thing. What do these growing things have in common? They utilize sunlight, photosynthesis, suck up nutrients and process those, demonstrate similar biology, cell growth, etc. but are entirely different plants. In the parable, the good wheat comes from God, the weeds come from the devil, they are his children. Therefore, if you hear the gospel message of Jesus Christ and your heart is ‘tugged’ so as for you to believe it, repent and believe, make a course change to your life, and know that you are not a tare! If all I’ve written here simply goes over your head, well, …

I welcome your comments and insights…

PALEO PORN

I’m going to step outside the box with this one, but hang with me for a moment.

Human sexuality has been with us since the Garden. In this 21^stCentury every avenue of communication has some outlet for exploiting our human weaknesses and strengths. Pandering to our deepest needs and desires, the world of modern sexuality covers the gamete  (including sex trafficking and pornography in all its forms). Discovering one’s self was almost a right of passage for kids in the Western world. Sex and sexuality had been closely guarded. That was the cool thing about growing up in the 1960’s, the mystery of discovering the opposite sex. Oh, how times have changed!

Males more than females seem to be aroused by form and shape. The framers of our Capitol in Washington, D.C. understood this most deeply when they erected that 555 ft. monument to George W. It stands as an ever-present erect phallus facing the womb of the dome at the other end of the mall. The birth of a nation needed the parts and the framers gave us a reminder. Most of us though don’t worship the symbols.

This leads me to think about our ancestors. Anthropologists have taught that early humans were crude, unsociable creatures prone to violence with a multitude of superstitions, that these animists needed thousands of years in order to refine their pantheistic worldview in their approach to one-god-ism.  We’ve discovered small figurines made of bone, stone or pottery in the form of the Venus woman all over the world. These articles are thought to be fertility symbols of these superstitious folks, whereby the unseen ‘mother’ forces would bless a birth or a planted field. I have another idea about them.

Paleo porn! Yep, I said it. These early women worked along side the males, but as small social groups became less mobile and more agrarian, the males still experienced the thrill of the hunt! Perhaps the little Venus figures kept those sexual urges alive while away on hunt. Remember, each was carved or molded to shape by someone. It took time and thought. So, maybe they were surrogates that could easily bring about an erection when fondled or stared at, in essence and reality, a form of paleo pornography! Surely something sexual had to be occurring in the their thoughts as they fashioned them. I know of men who carry around naked women photos. Would it be so alarming to think cavemen carried something too?

When we realize that of all the cave art, those cave drawings spanning ages back 25,000 years only depict a plethora of wild animals and not the human form, it’s not inconceivable that men carried with them something personally erotic, something symbolic of what awaited them on the return. Paleo porn seems plausible.

Did you ever want to write a novel? I did. An article in Treasure Magazine from 1985 about a three hundred year old Spanish silver coin possibly pointing the way to General Tokoyuki Yamashita’s gold hidden in the Philippine Islands during the close of WWII got my interest. But how do you make treasure hunting and spelunking into an interesting scenario?

Thus, a puzzle idea emerged. The puzzle itself morphed into a separate quest intertwined with the treasure hunt making it a two-fer story plot! The puzzle quickly became the Sauwastika Enigma, a moniker based upon the obscure writings of an old treasure hunter, who may have left the loose-leaf page in his journal by mistake!

Of course, the enigma had to involve Germany, the arch villain devastating Europe with grandiose desires to rule the whole world!

Very quickly in my research of Hitler and Nazi Germany of the 1930’s it became clear an occult aspect was involved. (Of course at that time there wasn’t the widespread abundance of Internet material demonstrating the Nazi –occult connection, only in the ensuing years has this information really blossomed.) I had read the late David Flynn’s article, An Occult Translation of the Roswell Event(2005), wherein he postulates that the crash was not accidental, but done with purpose and intent. He presents an in-depth Theuristic perspective, one that hid the real intent to those back at the time, an intent which had something to do with us and the year 2012, and the hubbub surrounding that date.[i]

The urban legend surrounding the Roswell crash had caught my ear many years before, but the idea that it might have been a planned event really got me thinking. Legend states our US government went about scooping up crash parts and pieces, and eventually parceled these out to companies with deep pocket R&D departments to ‘back engineer’ the technology. That would be cool, if true. But what of the occult connection?

The Nazis were conducting research into anything that would benefit their war effort; explosives, rocketry, mind control, anti-gravity, plasma and laser weaponry, you name it, not to mention chemical and biological warfare! How did they get so advanced technologically in the short span of 1932-1940? The thought hit me. Could there have been a UFO crash during Hitler’s time? And guess what? There was! Here is an excerpt from my novel, The Sauwastika Enigma. Lee Daniels, Ph.D. is explaining to Justin Teaguely the connection:

“Hitler and especially Heinrich Himmler were occultists in the truest sense of the word. The inner circle of Nazi SS led by Himmler was eye-ball deep into magic and the black arts.”

Justin chimed in. “Yes, we are aware of their superstitious nature.”

“Justin, it wasn’t justinnocuous hocus-pocus magic they were into. It was much deeper and darker than that. The whole bunch was into a Bavarian ritualistic cult that, among other things, demanded blood sacrifice, human blood sacrifice! The whole purge with the concentration camps and killing chambers can be looked upon as one big gigantic human sacrifice!” Lee thumped the tabletop with his index finger a couple times as he exclaimed this.

Justin could only stare at his friend and let him make his vehement statements. There did seem to be a thread of truth about what he was saying, at least, of what Justin knew for sure of the Holocaust. Such a conclusion wasn’t incongruous.

Lee continued. “Supposedly, during Himmler’s private occult rituals, ‘voices beyond’gave the demands which would ensure Germany’s success. And they intended to prove that intent by granting an exchange of technology.”

Justin was all ears now as Lee made this last statement. An exchange of technology by séance voices speaking to high-ranking Nazi occultists? This was all new thought for him, but not so unreasonable given the unthinkable that had transpired during that War.

Justin asked, “How could voices provide technology?”

“Great question, Justin. Have you ever heard of Roswell, New Mexico?”

“Yah. Isn’t that the place some claim an unidentified flying object crashed, back in the 1940’s, Martians or something?” Justin responded.

“Not Martians, exactly, but beings from outer space! The crash took place on July 4th, 1947 to be precise. The military, and thus our government, has always maintained that a weather balloon crashed at Roswell and not a flying saucer. But there are credible witnesses who testify to the flight path and the debris that folks saw after the crash, and they are positive it didn’t resemble any ol’ weather balloon! But that’s beside the point. What has been rumored is that not one, but two saucers crashed,and that all of the parts and pieces were scooped up and secretly hidden away at Area 51, and no one, no civilian that is, has been able to get in there to verify anything since!”

“Lee, this is all remarkable if true, but you are starting to lose me here. The scientists, remember?” Justin stated.

“When these ‘voices beyond’intimated an exchange of technology, supposedly a blood pact was made. This was in the early 1930’s. The voices followed up their end of the bargain with a saucer crash, the flying saucer crash at Freiburg, Germany in 1936! Check it out. Then the Germans started back-engineering saucer technology, and that is how they leaped to the top of the game even before the United States got involved!

Justin asked, “So, what’s the connection?”

“Well, when the War ended, America not only took possession of German scientific knowledge and researchers, bringing them to our shore, we inadvertently took possession of the blood oath as well! The Roswell crashes only helped re-focus our government and spurned them on with esoteric research.

“You see, for the past twenty-some years dismantled parts and pieces have secretly found their way into choice research facilities across the country. Raytheon, Philips, RCA, IBM, Dow, you name them, the list goes on! Why do you think government types in the guise of ‘recruiters’ are so prevalent on campuses?

“And there are campuses like UW all across America. Students everywhere are upset that the products of clandestine research projects are harming fellow human beings! Like napalm, for instance, not to mention the chemical-biological weapons currently being developed. Like, have you ever wondered where LSD came from?”

Lee said this with true sincerity in his voice. He really believed what he was saying.

“They, eh, we have been back-engineering saucer technology ever since the crashes, and in so doing, we’ve taken upon ourselves the blood-oath once belonging to Nazi Germany. It follows then, with our involvement in Korea, Laos, Viet Nam, and elsewhere. Lots of bloodshed, one massive sacrifice.

“Justin, the first hominids show up almost 3 million years ago, and a couple million years later Homo sapiens. Millions of years, Justin, just to walk upright and hunt with a sharpened piece of glass! Technology advances must have taken the Darwinian back road. Then wham! The Twentieth Century dawns, and technology zooms way beyond the prognostications of the Renaissance thinkers. I firmly believe we were helped; making the leaps we’ve made in so short a time seems so, other-worldly, don’t you think.” Lee’s statement garnered no response.

“What does all this have to do with the death of Walther Nernst?”  Justin asked.[ii]

As a youngster I like the rest of the sheep absorbed the gubbilee-gock fed us in our education; evolution, god is dead, mankind is basically good, the government has our best interest in mind, etc. etc. But it seems this world is becoming more decadent and wicked, with a malevolent intent behind it all kept just out of sight. “The truth is out there!”

Junk Science and Stinkin’ Thinkin’

I’m one of those individuals who believes in a higher power. I tend less to believe in a collective consciousness and more in a common origin. While in high school we were introduced to the theory of evolution. The broad picture seemed to make a little sense, but when it came down to the minutiae of it all, things got fuzzy. Then Van Deniken came along with possible answers for the unanswerable observations we see in the highlands of Peru. Aliens.

We weren’t simply descended from the jawbone of Australopithecines from some spot in Olduve Gorge, Africa but we are the progeny of alien ‘seeding’ here all over the earth! Now that really makes sense! Kumbaya! Seeded, eh? Well, look at it this way if all the peoples of this world did not share a common ancestor (et el Adam & Eve) then we are not really “brothers” as in, blood brothers, are we? But if black and white, red and mongol, aisian and otherwise share a common origin, then we have reason to believe in a ‘human race’ (note singular). Of particular note, in that biblical recounting in Genesis, we find a fact of genetic importance beyond measure. God forms a man from earthly elements, breathes life into him, he becomes a living soul. So far, so good. But then he takes a rib from Adam to form Eve. Did you get that, he took a rib! He used stuff already created to form similar stuff. There was continuity of DNA. That is a profound story rendering. Yet there is something else.

Personally, I might have told it like this. God spit on some dust, rolled it around like bread dough in his hands, came up with a form, and breathed on it. IT lived! Wow. Next he got another lump of moist soil and fashioned the other one, it lived, and now there were two! Notice, my outcome is similar to God’s creation, one of each. Yet in my rendition the two are not “related” only similar. Am I related to a primate? They say we share 93% of our genome with them? NOT related, only similar! (like if 93% of the engineering construct worked the first time, why engineer something new, right?)

And that brings me back to evolution. The theory purports that given the right pressure, the right mix of elements, the right environment, yah, yah, yah, and TIME, there would occur changes that benefit the species that eventually manifest, because it’s those almost imperceptible changes in the minutiae that will eventually bring about a result of higher purpose! Survival of the fittest! Yet the human race has declined in age living shorter lives than history records in the past, we are prone to more diseases than in the past, our environment is less ‘pristine’ than at first, and there is growing concern that our own bodies are eating us alive! (Cancers, autoimmune diseases, etc). But we simply throw more pharmaceuticals at our situations instead of letting evolution have its way! Because we are human, created as we are, not evolved, we rebel against the notion that we are but one of millions passing on in life to bring about that ultimate fit generation. But to those who reject the notion of God, you are awaiting Nirvana, or a transcendental moment! I say to you, stop all medicines, power drinks, potions and pills, hasten evolution, be a part of the solution!

Years ago I had the opportunity to do volunteer work in Indoneisa. One of the very first things I learned was the Indonesian government had a strong hand and watchful eye when it came to foreign interests. First of all, land was not a commody but a treasure. I say this in the sense that like a treasure they guarded the integrity of what constituted Indonesia; 13, 647 islands, a formidible land mass sustaining over 700 differing cultures and 1000 languages!

Foreign interests couldn’t simply come to the country and set up shop, either. For the enrichment of both, such interest needed a “partner” that may or may not have infused the commizeration with capital investment, to the tune of 51%! The foreign interest retained 49% interest! And any land purchase was made by and held by the Indonesian partner. No foreigner could/can willy-nilly purchase land in that country! There are many other countries that restrict foreign land ownership, too. However, America is not one of them.

My mind flashed to all the Asian interests in Hawaaii and the States. WE sell our inheiritance for a proverbial bowl of porrage! Everyone can enjoy a piece of ground over here! Not much in the way of restrictions. If you have the cash… Which brings me to one staggering thought: our government “owns” vast tracts of land across the country, if China ever, and I mean EVER forces the issue of debt, they could propose accepting OUR land in exchange for the debt! It wouldn’t be an Embassy in Washington, but a land mass amounting to an independent little China country occupying what used to be our soil! You think it couldn’t happen? Think again.

Sanctuary cities. Right now the focus has been on displaced latinos from south of the boarder. But to be fair, what if China, or any other country for that matter, sent an armada of ships carrying hundreds / thousands of passengers to breache our shores, are we going to blow them out of the water as they approach? I think not. Yet, there remains the possibility. And of course, California couldn’t cry “foul,” because they have already set the precedent as being a ‘sanctuary State.’

In closing, for all my Texas friends, I share the below. So much for the benefits of American citizenship, it holds as much value in the eyes of many as would a bucket of crap!  Perhaps you’ve never noticed the provision in Texas Law allowing illegals to purchase (willy-nilly) and own our land:

Texas Land Law Title I Sec. 5.005.  
ALIENS.  An alien has the same real and personal
property rights as a United States citizen.

Acts 1983, 68th Leg., p. 3481, ch. 576, Sec. 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1984.

I recently watched a PPV movie on DirectTV staring Denzel Washington of course. The title caught my eye, and my mind threw up flashes of the ’70’s TV show The Equalizer, about a good samaritan, fairly well off so he had free time on his hands to utilize his skills to assist people wronged and suffering injustice.

Well, Denzil’s character does deal harshly with some wrong-doers. However, he himself is a paid spook assassin for a US agency, and only the focus of who gets killed comes into play. In the end, members of his old team are trying to kill him! Of course,  his character is painted as a rational, in-touch with the world around him sort of fellow you’d meet on the landing of your apartment building. Compassionate even.

This was just another example of the line up of movies Hollywood spits out to corrupt the way we think. I admit I’m nearly persuaded. Diabolical characters are more and more portrayed as having a measure of human empathy and compassion, who find themselves in plot scenarios where we find ourselves siding with them, hoping, even desiring them to vanquish that other foe before they bite the dust. Hollywood has given us bad guy heros, the lesser of two evils!

I kind of enjoyed movies of the past where the distinctions were clear. Which brings me to my topic. America has undergone gradual change in the way we look at criminals and criminal behavior. When many states abrogated the death penalty, our penal institutions became laboratories for the criminally insane. Instead of removing the leven of evil, we’ve kept it around, festering. Civil rights activists lobbied for better treatment of inmates to the point of ridiculousness! All the while, hoping the rate of recidivism would drop. A non-sequitur.

What infuriates me the most is that for fifty years state and local governments have been throwing our taxpayer dollars at a system which allows these incarcerated miscreants to become smarter, wiser, stronger and more determined to do their evil craft, believing that the saving of ‘a few souls’ in the process is an enactment of justice. Case in point.

I subscribed to an archaeology journal focusing on the middle-east. In one instance, a ‘scholarly’ reader post came from an inmate in California. Having killed someone in a gang fight he got 20yrs or so. Now this guy begs, borrows and does whatever to obtain any materials pertaining to Egypt. Self-taught, he becomes a sought-after ‘expert’ Egyptologist! Ok, one out of many. But here’s the rub, how did we move away from those good ol’ days, when incarcerated criminals were chained to one another busting rocks for the new county road? Sheriff Joe Arpaio over there in AZ had the right idea: a man doesn’t eat if he doesn’t work!

My family worked all our lives, we even paid back our student loans! Sure would have been nice for you bunch of taxpayers to cover our living expenses so we’d have all the free time in the world to pursue advanced education! Who paid for my schooling and that of my wife? Continued physical fitness, or our recreational / entertainment needs? The clothes we wear, the food we eat, the beds we sleep upon? Excepting we grasp our role in society, we’d be on the streets with the homeless. So why the preferential treatment of sociopaths?

Here’s a thought. Every day we hear of another municipality or city going broke. We hear of the need for millions if not billions more dollars to fix the infrastructure of  services, e.g. water pipes, sewer pipes, communications, etc not to mention the pot-holes and roadways needing repair or replacement. When is the establishment going to wake up to the axiom, if a man doesn’t work he doesn’t (shouldn’t) eat! We need more sheriff clones like Joe Arpaio to bring back the good ol’ days: tethered criminals with balls and chains!

Well, here it is the down-stretch toward the end of the year 2018! Like most folks my to-do list never reaches the finale, there are always additions and last-minute things that make it to the list. Yet with that said I’m happy to announce the completion of at least two things on my list this year.

JUST SOME STUFF is my newest album of recorded original music. We started the project in 2016, but recurrent CTS kept my hands and fingers numb. 4 hand surgeries in 2017 really put a damper on the list, and the project, but that’s another blog horror story. With some semblance of finger ability (trigger finger syndrome popped up soon after CTS recovery, bummer!) we completed the project. There are 15 original tunes spanning folk, Americana, to funky-folk blues. The album features two new songs iconic to Mineral Wells, Texas, famous for the crazy water mineral wells that flourished during the early part of the 20th Century when the Baker Hotel was erected. Now defunct, the eyesore is a featured landmark. Crazy Water and Baker Hotel Blues pay tribute to the time.

Anyone interested in mp3 downloads, I utilize cdbaby.com to host all my recorded music. http://www.cdbaby.com/artist/theodoreahenningii For a physical CD, contact me via Facebook

My second achievement is that I finished a novel started over 5 years ago! It is titled, THE SAUWASTIKA ENIGMA offered as an eBook at Amazon.com or print version. The story line involves two young insurance investigators who get caught up in two mysteries; one revolves around a coin believed to be a map of sorts leading to hidden WWII treasure. The concomitant mystery of a loose-leaf piece of paper once found in an old treasure hunters’s journal that presents peculiar notations that could be clues to treasure, or not.
