Description:
A father presents as an English gentleman and war hero to his wife and subsequent children who catch up with the truth of the impoverished Welsh beginnings only after his death. His daughter ponders this singular life in the context of a changing Britain in the 20th century.
Major Bill Probert emerged from the Second World War a decorated war hero, a gifted linguist in the Intelligence Corps. He met the love of his life, a beautiful Oxford graduate, when they were both posted to the Allied Control Commission occupying Vienna in 1945. He was a cultured and ambitious Englishman, with no living family of his own.
After a successful international business career, Bill retires at 59, only to reinvent himself first as a fly fisherman and farmer in Wales, and then - for the last decade of his life - as a resident of the Bearn, lover of the Pyrenees and everything French.
Four months after he was buried in St Faust de Haut a letter arrives for him, announcing that his nephew Denzil, from Brecon in Wales, has finally found him, and is coming to visit. Bill's wife and children were about to learn that Bill began life as Roy, in an impoverished Welsh mining family in the Rhondda. His mother and three siblings were alive and well when his children were born.
Why did Roy decide to become Bill and erase Wales and his family? Thirty years after his death it was time to unearth his many secrets. This is the story of a daughter's hunt for her perplexing and unpredictable father.

A mind bender.
Format: Paperback
Robert Monroe's story is such a remarkable one that for me it took a few years of pondering and re-reading various accounts of his "journeys" to come to grips with it as a legitimate reality. Since the early 1960's, Monroe carefully logged many hundreds or thousands of out of body experiences and over the years mastered exit techniques and went on to teach them to many students at his institute in Virginia.
Far Journeys is a wild ride and was at times difficult to follow due to the many terms RM coined to describe the completely unknown entities and experiences that became routine for him. Once you get accustomed to the vocabulary, the narrative becomes more intelligible. The book is really something of a travelogue to non-physical reality. He is not stopping along the way to explain things to us readers, but leaving the experiences to speak for themselves. In the end, one is left to grapple with the implications of all he is laying out. Is he just completely insane? I don't think that is the case. Monroe was, in my view, a true modern mystic, born into a highly academic and rational Western world. He brought all of his pragmatism and mechanistic views on the world to bear as he wrestled with his remarkable gifts. He is really the heir to Edgar Casey, and in turn any number of mystics from antiquity.

Well written, entertaining - whether this stuff is true or not depends on your opinion.
Format: Paperback
I loved Monroe's first book. *This* book is entertaining, although annoying at times trying to figure out who's talking. I'm silent on whether I believe Monroe's fantastic stories. But if you're okay with that risk, I'd recommend this for both entertainment & perhaps to help unleash some creativity in your self.

Changed forever
Format: Kindle
We become so mired in our subjective “reality”. I find it truly beneficial to have a different, perhaps more objective perspective. I hope this enables me to make necessary changes to my journey before its conclusion.
