Overcoming fear is not about getting rid of everything scary in your life. Living life without fear is not about locking out emotions so that you don't feel fear. It isn't even about tricking your mind into believing there is nothing to be afraid of. So what is it about? Some of us deal with the fear of something to the point it becomes a phobia. Others of us accept our fear as a normal part of life, not realizing how much it is holding us back from a better life. The list of potential things to fear is long.

Ice, Fire, and Blood, the first novel of veteran journalist Norman Black, brings to vivid life U.S. combat infantrymen's experience in Korea, from late 1950 to spring 1951.

It covers those periods when Chinese armies entered the war and inflicted devastating loses on U.S.-U.N. forces and the subsequent turn-around, early in 1951, after Gen. Matthew Ridgway took command.

Near the end of World War II, in an attempt to attack the United States mainland, Japan launched its fu-go campaign, deploying thousands of high-altitude hydrogen balloons armed with incendiary and high-explosive bombs designed to follow the westerly winds of the upper atmosphere and drift to the west coast of North America. After reaching the mainland, these fu-go, the Japanese hoped, would terrorize American citizens and ignite devastating forest fires across the western states, ultimately causing the United States to divert wartime resources to deal with the domestic crisis.

Lucid dreaming sounds like something out of the occultic spiritual text, or even something out of a futuristic novel about the capabilities of our species. But it is something very real! Even old mainstream religious texts and modern science cannot deny its existence. It is a way to explore ourselves, and some speculate the entire universe. Many arguments exist on the capabilities of the dream world, but no one can argue that it doesn't exist. In this book, we will explore lucid dreaming and, most importantly, how to do it.
