About a year ago, I began to find genuine interest in spiritual knowledge and learning, and its value and many applications outside of formal education and studies. I began researching philosophers and reading their works regarding spiritualism, new ways of thinking and perceiving things, as well as how our lives as human work in conjunction with the universe around us. I find this kind of thinking, and discovering some of the infinite wealth of knowledge around me, to be both personal and liberating.
My interest in Tennessee Williams was piqued after reading his biography. The following quote I found particularly captivating:
The book is divided into seven parts. The book focuses spiritual growth and it is a manual for building a Spirit-filled life in a world where perfection can only be found in God’s loving vision. Ortberg helps us gauge your spiritual health and measure the gap between where you are now and where God intends you to be. As the author emphasizes on

By employing themes such as psychosexual fantasies, race, gender, and violence, artist Kara Walker reconstructs and explores the history and effects of American slavery on American culture. Although being called names like notorious, revolting, anti-progressive, and shameless, she continues to be a pioneer of bringing the unspeakable aspects of American slavery that are not commonly discussed and are left out of the history books to the foreground of public discussion.
Reporter: I am here with a one particular young woman that has sparked interest in my eyes for many months.

Contradictions, in reference to cultures and their ideological formations, are the differences between hegemonic ideas presented by the dominant group(s) and the reality of what occurs in society. During the era of slavery in United States history, contradictions about slavery abounded, which lead writers like David Walker to highlight them in order to bring about social change. Walker, in his Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World, writes to an audience of black slaves in an attempt to restructure society through black solidarity, and proposes quick action, as he believed that the expansion of cotton-farming onto newly-acquired Native American land would further entrench slavery as an American institution.
Alice Walker is a very well-known and well respected author, she worked as a teacher, social worker, and lecturer, and took part in the 1960s Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi.

Me sitting down being able to write expository tales as a kid never came naturally to me and when I did I was always told that it wasn’t good enough. I’ve never practiced prolific writing, the only time I ever wrote was if it was when I was assessed for a grade. Writing never captured my attention, then, I was more interested in video games and cartoons. But now things are different you have to be able to write at a certain level to be able to have certain opportunities in life.
RJ Walker spent several years working on an ambulance and during his time he came across several situations where he encountered people that he felt needed their story told but was bound by laws to not reveal their identity. Since he was a Spoken work artist, he made the decision to turn their story into what I fee is a lyrical masterpiece. Before reading this I ask a few things, first you read this with an open mind, it is a little graphic. Second please read it 3 times before passing judgment, try to take in what the RJ Walker is trying to say and try to understand his pain when writing this.
Tell me as best as you can, what this book meant to you. What was new, revealing information? What, if anything, was heart lifting? What made you pause to think? What surprised you?

last Tuesday I finished your inspiring novel “Instinct; The power to Unleash Your Inborn Drive”, and I have to say it’s one of the most fascinating books I’ve ever laid hands on. This novel clearly defines you and your purpose as an educator and a faith leader in our society. The way you deliver your messages are so powerful; I often felt as if I was sitting front row, on a Sunday morning, listening to you preach just the words I needed to hear. You provided me with advice that reshaped my thinking and redirected me to a path to live a more fulfilling life from now on. I do believe your novel makes readers look in the mirror and find the innate abilities God has given us and encourage us to show them off to the world. You
