A Mostly Magnificent Memoir / by Bo Bennett

A child of the 1980s relives a dysfunctional and hilarious childhood in the most difficult speech of his life. It's FORREST GUMP meets THE WONDER YEARS - but mostly true. Hysterically funny at times, heart-wrenching and heart-warming at other times, highly entertaining all the time. The story follows James Murphy, who lives an extraordinarily unique life learning ordinary life lessons to which everyone can relate through his many misadventures. James' misadventures feature everything from swindling friends out of valuable baseball cards to run-ins with bullies and kids in Connecticut "gangs", from awkward romantic heartbreak to family party fiascos, from sophisticated pranks that build up to a court appearance and community service to a death defying "rafting" incident. This is a fictionalized and dramatized adaptation of the author's autobiography turned into a full-motion picture screenplay turned into a novella. It's the unbelievable stories that are actually true. James isn't lying about the magic beanstalk growing on his back porch. Or the monkey in their tree—in New England. He did chase a UFO with his mother and stopped her from killing his dad. Let's just say this book is a collection of true stories made more entertaining and wrapped in a white lie. A Mostly Magnificent Memoir reminds us all that we are social creatures—how our seemingly insignificant interactions with others can significantly impact their lives. It reminds us how precious life is and how grateful we should be for the people in our lives. It reminds us that it is okay to laugh at our own misadventures because life is too short not to.

The author highlights the differences between the definitions of audacity and recklessness, with recklessness being associated with negative outcomes. The author also explores the reasons behind reckless actions. For example, some believe it is due to the desire for proof of valor and might, while evolutionary scientists believe it is due to humans' natural tendency to be combative and competitive, as the need to survive is often not without recklessness. Chapter Three - COVID-19 PREVENTIVE RULES AND ASSOCIATED RECKLESSNESS The World Health Organization and other health organizations advised people to follow measures such as social distancing, hand washing, and wearing masks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. These preventive measures were deemed important and necessary, as a vaccine and other measures counter-measures to the virus were not yet available. The author discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic was unfortunately not effectively prevented due to the reckless behavior of individuals who willfully ignored health expert's instructions, instead continuing their daily activities unchecked and without concern. People also mis-underestimated the potency of the virus, which further led to its spread and a large number of fatalities. Chapter Four - HISTORY AND THE DOMINANT SPIRITS OF EPIDEMIC/PANDEMIC The author discusses the impact of epidemics and pandemics on human history and how they have shaped society over time and how these diseases have been a constant problem for humanity. The author explores specific examples such as The Black Death and The Spanish Flu.

Chapter Five - RECKLESS AUDACITY AND THE SPOILS OF POLITICS The author argues that democracy does not prevent politicians from acting recklessly and pursuing their own interests. For example, it is suggested that The United States' claims of spreading democracy internationally were fiction, as the primary objective was capitalist exploitation, particularly in oil-rich countries.

Chapter Seven - COVID-19 AND THE SCHEME OF RELIGIOSITY AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES The author discusses the role of religion and conspiracy theories during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The author argues that many people showed arrogance during the pandemic, despite its severity and it reaching every corner of the planet. The chapter emphasizes the negative impact of misinformation during the pandemic, asserting that the spread of false information created more panic, fear, and mental disorientation than the virus itself. The author highlights that one of the main drivers of this misinformation was the proliferation and championing of conspiracy theories. The author concludes that the impact of misinformation during the pandemic should be remembered when writing about the history of COVID-19. Chapter Eight - WHY LEADERSHIP MATTERS The author compares the leadership of Jacinda Ardern, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, to those of Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and China during the pandemic. The author commends Ardern for her effective measures in combating the virus and for being knowledgeable about the history of survival and criticizes Trump and Johnson for their denial and spreading of confusion, and for being more concerned with the political and economic aspects than the well-being of their citizens. The author concludes that the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the inadequacies of leadership in several countries.

PART THREE: FATHERLAND Chapter 11 - THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF COVID-19 IN NIGERIA AND GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSES The author explores the response of the Nigerian government to the COVID-19 pandemic, which was generally light-touch, poorly communicated, and ultimately led to citizens taking responsibility for their own isolation and management of the virus. The chapter also explores how the government's response to testing was hampered by a lack of test kits and the high costs of private test centers that even most middle-class citizens could not afford Chapter 12 - NIGERIA AND THE SPIRITS OF EPIDEMICS The author explores the history of epidemics in Nigeria, showing how diseases have been a part of the country's evolution from a traditional to a modern society. This highlights the need for robust public awareness campaigns to inform the populace of the dangers of disease outbreaks. The author concludes that the best methods for containing viruses in Nigeria are focused on containment rather than total cure.

They believe that Nigeria's potential for greatness is dependent on having progressive political leadership. However, the coronavirus pandemic revealed the negative impact of backwards politics, with Nigeria being one of the most affected nations due to its history of corruption and mediocrity. The author goes on to criticize the politicization of public health by some politicians. Chapter Fifteen - COVID-19 AND THE NIGERIAN ECONOMY The Nigerian economy was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, partly due to its reliance on oil and gas as the main source of income and foreign exchange, as well as its dependence on imports from developed nations for most of its needs. The author also explores the impact on Nigeria's health sector during the pandemic. Many Nigerians, especially those from lower-income groups, relied on traditional herbal remedies for protection and as a cure, while those from more affluent backgrounds followed advice from National Centre for Disease Control with regards to modern medicine and best-practice guidelines. The healthcare system as a whole faced major challenges, such as a lack of adequate medical equipment. Chapter Sixteen - THE PALLIATIVE THAT NEVER CAME The author explores how the lack of delivery of palliatives to the people of Nigeria during the COVID-19 crisis is a result of poor leadership and ineffective policies. The existing institutional frameworks are insufficient, which lead to chaos for palliative distribution efforts. The author suggests that the systemic and structural integrity of the nation must be improved to ensure the sanctity of human lives and the foundation of an effective social welfare system. Chapter Seventeen - COVIDIOTS AND THE INFODEMIC CRISES IN NIGERIA The author explores conspiracy theories and false information, referred to as the "infodemic". There were many claims and rumors about the virus, and some citizens believed that the government and the media were exaggerating the dangers of COVID-19. The author highlights the negative effects of the infodemic and the recklessness of "Covidiots", those who defied preventive measures and who actively spread misinformation, which lead to chaos and instability in the country. The author argues that efforts should be made to analyze the infodemic and the culture of Covidiots in the context of Nigeria. PART FOUR: THE FUTURE AND THE NEXT PANDEMIC Chapter Eighteen - RECKLESS AUDACITY: A REVERSAL The author explores the idea that prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, humanity was plagued by recklessness and pursuit of personal interests that hindered progress. The author cites the rise and fall of empires like the Roman Empire as an example of the consequences of arrogance and expansionism. The author also highlights the need for Nigeria to tap into its own resources and creativity to solve problems and grow its economy, as the COVID-19 epidemic has created the opportunity for this self-sufficiency and growth. The author highlights the issues of Nigeria's over-reliance on crude oil exports. As the country's main source of foreign exchange earnings, it has resulted in a highly monolithic economy with a dependence on imports. The author also highlights the need to reverse the trend of preference for foreign products and prioritize local production to boost the economy. The author further emphasizes the importance of giving priority to the development of the country's healthcare system, which has been plagued by numerous problems, including brain drain and poor funding. Chapter Nineteen - FINAL NOTE The author explores the negative impact of politics and economics on humanity's progress, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The author suggests that going forward, the people's political choices should be based on ideas that aim to further human progress and cooperation, rather than wars and political brinkmanship. The author also argues that a world that is filled with goodwill and progress is possible, but it requires the right leadership and efforts from the citizenry to ensure that the best leaders are in government.

Chapter 3: Omakh Age of the Divine Mother The author discusses the Omakh Age, which represents a phase in the evolution of the Aryan Empire and its High Queen. The Orion constellation is referred to as the Shagari Stars, meaning Fires That Fly, and stars are considered suns of luminous fire that drift or "fly" in their own orbits, carrying along associated planets such as their satellite moons. The Omakh Age represents the time when the Divine One was the Aryan Queen, and the name Orion is derived from the ancient compound word Ori.An, which meant Spirit of the Most High and Divine Queen. Chapter 4: From Mind Control to Immortality The author discusses the Sakh female warriors, who were chosen to guard and protect the Aya-Khar Queen, Lucifera, and were trained in hand-to-hand combat and secret weaponry systems.

Chapter 5: The Pesh-Meten War Begins?The author discusses the importance of the Ninth Passageway, also known as the Pesh-Meten, as the main route for interplanetary travel and commerce, which runs through the Aryan Empire. The Aryan Empire was able to impose tariffs on the interplanetary traffic passing through the Pesh-Meten, making it a vital source of income for the reptilian Queen’s Empire. The appearance of a new superpower on the perimeter of the Pesh-Meten, consisting of Wolfen beings who evolved from a Reptilian-Wolfen ancestor, threatened the Aryan Empire's control over the intergalactic freeway.

The Zan-Besii would eventually establish the Nebu-Gray Empire after a mutiny against the Aryan Empire. Chapter 8: The Cosmic Cold War Turns Hot The author discusses a civil war that broke out in the Sirius star system due to the resentment of the Wolfen Lords towards their Aryan High Queen Lucifera and her appointed queen from her own lineage. The civil war was marked by prolonged battles and significant losses on both sides, with the Aryan queens secretly engineering a three-way slaughter of the Wolfen warriors and their allied Draco mercenary forces. The author also discusses the ingenious plan devised by Lucifera, which encouraged the most bloodthirsty Wolfen warriors to murder each other without her having to lift a finger. Chapter 9: From Galactic Nuptials to Nibiru The author discusses the marriage of King Anu and the Aya-Khar Queen Lucifera as a politically calculated move to renew the bond between their empires, turn back the Majian invasion, and safeguard King Anu by placing a check on Enlil's power-hungry appetite. The marriage was also a mirage that allowed King Anu to keep Enlil beyond harm's reach by appointing him to run and help repair the star station of Nibiru as its prince while Enki served as the genetic scientist, assigned to clone a Reptilian army of Anunnaki soldiers to repel the Majian forces. The author also discusses Enlil's reluctance to marry one of the Queen's daughters, his racial supremacist views towards the Orion race, and his romantic interest in his half-sister Ninmah. Chapter 10: Joint Venture to Genesis The author discusses the story of Alalu, a rebellious leader on the star station Nibiru, who fled to Earth and discovered rich veins of gold. The discovery sparked a gold rush to Earth, which posed a threat to the Aryan-Orion Empire. Nibiru eventually moved into a closer orbit to Earth to establish a working base for mining gold to repair the ozone shield, and the planet also served as a waystation for troops to be fed and then redeployed into the galactic battlefield. Primitive humanoid apes were discovered in Africa and were used as a food source for the reptilian soldiers. Enki-Lucifer was tasked with creating a slightly more intelligent humanoid than the natives, which led to the creation of Adam. However, Adam and the Anunnaki goddess Lilith were incompatible, and Adam ultimately fled. PART THREE: From Atlantis to Armageddon Chapter 11: The Kingdom of Shadows The author discusses the idea that after the Deluge, the reptilian and Anunnaki powers emerged from the Kingdom of Shadows, a place beneath the earth's surface, which is mentioned in the Emerald Tablets of Thoth. The author also suggests that only through a certain bloodline, the Reptilian race of darkness could enter the realm of humanity and bring the rest of their underlings into the world of humanity. The author then proposes that Rh-negative blood type, possessed by only 15% of the worldwide population, represents survivors who had gone underground and that the 'vital few,' forerunners of the elite Illuminati, happen to be Rh-negatives. U.S. presidents who are known Rh-negatives include President Eisenhower, Nixon, Clinton, Reagan, Obama and President George Bush, Sr. Other Rh-negatives include John F.

Marduk also planned to offer a full partnership with the Aryan queens assigned to colonize Earth and oversee the HEN-T in order to gain a stranglehold on the Pesh-Meten passageway. Chapter 13: From the Next Genesis to 9/11 The author discusses the real overpopulation problem: the Verdants, a spacefaring alien race who hate humans and plan to commit global genocide. They are much cleverer than even the Illuminati and have an intergalactic force of 500 trillion of their kind, giving them a distinct advantage over The Shadow Government. Chapter 14: Alternative 3 The author discusses Alternatives 1, 2, and 3, which were proposed by a group of scholars in response to President Eisenhower's request for a solution to the problem of overpopulation. Alternative 1 involved using nuclear devices to blast holes in the stratosphere to release excess heat and pollution into space; Alternative 2 involved building a vast network of underground cities, tunnels, and Maglev trains to house civilians; and Alternative 3 involved exploiting the captured spacecraft technologies to migrate to Mars via a relay station on the Moon. The chapter also describes the multi-pronged approach to depopulate the planet, which required a New World Order, as well as the connection between illegal drugs and the funding of Alternative 3. Chapter 15: The Alien Invasion: But Which One? The author discusses the idea that a global government, or New World Order, could arise around 2025 from an "unprecedented threat" that would force all nations to join in mutual defense against an "unprecedented menace," such as an alien invasion or a biotech-created "new form of human." The author also discusses the idea that the One World military-industrial-cartel has been assisted by the Shetu-Grays in order to build and pilot UFO spacecraft in exchange for a license to abduct, surgically dissect, alter, enslave, implant, trade, murder and hybridize humans, and help the ruling elite migrate to Mars. The author also discusses the idea that a "faux-alien" invasion orchestrated by the military could be used to benefit the United Nations or destroy and supplant it as a scapegoat. Chapter 16: The Georgia Guidestones The Georgia Guidestones are a granite monument that contains ten engraved guidelines for humanity which were commissioned by a man called Robert C. Christian in 1979. The monument, located on one of the highest hilltops in Elbert County, Georgia, features eight different languages on four monolithic stones. The author dissects these ten guidelines, explaining their influences and the hate that those who wrote them had for humanity.??Chapter 17: The Last Harvest?The author discusses various conspiracy theories related to government projects and activities, including the construction of underground containment centers and DUMBs (Deep Underground Military Bases), which are allegedly used to hold dissidents and children who go missing every year. The author also mentions the manufacturing of railroad cars with shackles and FEMA coffins, which may be used for internment camps, and the possibility of a targeted bio-weaponized plague being released on the population. Additionally, the author discusses a space-born virus that has allegedly wiped out entire populations on over 1700 planets galaxy wide and may be headed towards Earth.

The Zebra Hunter: A Journey of Truth, Love, and Compassion

Chapter 1 The narrator declared bankruptcy in 1991 and needed to save money, so they considered relocating their mobile home to reduce lot rent.

Chapter 5 Robert declares himself a "Zebra Hunter" as the class was ending, which piqued the narrator's curiosity. When asked what he meant, Robert explained that he looks for zebras in the morning, but not literally - rather, he believes in spotting the miracles in everyday life that people often overlook. Robert encouraged the narrator to become a "Zebra Hunter" themselves by developing an awareness for spotting the miracles in life. Chapter 6 Initially, the narrator never imagined participating in church activities beyond listening to the lessons. But after going through one class, Robert thought they were ready to start doing platform assisting. Though feeling inadequate and embarrassed, the narrator survived their first experience with "God stuff" by being willing not to know and letting a new energy take over. Chapter 7 At the beginning of the second lay ministry class, three individuals attended, including the narrator. Retha and Star were the other two attendees, and when Robert asked them to introduce themselves, the narrator had no idea that Retha would become a dear friend. During the class, Retha read a passage and broke down in tears, and the narrator felt an intense connection to her pain and started crying too, leading to a newfound way of feeling and understanding others' emotions. Chapter 8 Miracles started to occur as the lay ministry class progressed.

Robert accepted, and the narrator became Robert's primary caregiver while also being available for his mother for mental and emotional support. Chapter 12 As fall approached, the Unity church began to search for a new minister from Unity Village in Missouri. After several unsuccessful interviews, they hired a woman who impressed the congregation. To support her, Robert organized a campaign to contribute to her rent. Later, at a Halloween party, Robert's declining health became evident, and the narrator helped him back to his zebra-themed apartment, which was covered in zebra ties, cards, and pictures. Chapter 13 Robert's health continued to worsen, but he was still determined to teach the lay ministry class. A name was chosen for the group: Robert's Rainbow, representing the pot of gold that Robert showed to each student, emphasizing that everyone deserved unconditional love. During one meeting, the narrator got into a car accident and woke up in the hospital. Despite the physical pain and challenges, the narrator realized that their experience with meditation and mind control would help them. Chapter 14 Robert felt well enough to visit his brother, allowing the narrator to rest and deal with their physical and emotional pain. However, they also began experiencing memory lapses. Despite following medical advice, they were scared and feared a more severe injury. Robert returned from visiting his brother weaker than before. Robert found solace in a lesson from "A Course in Miracles" that taught the narrator to find joy in life despite hardship.

Chapter 16 As Joy's visit ended, Robert gifted the narrator a check for a workshop that he wanted them to attend, but couldn't afford. The new minister's leadership style caused division in the church, with some supporting the change and others, including Robert's students, seeing things differently, but despite this, Robert's students rallied around him during his tough times and were able to help him through with his teaching and example of how to live. Chapter 17 Robert became very ill in early January, but he encouraged the narrator to attend a workshop called Lifestream. Despite hesitating to leave Robert's side, the narrator attended the workshop and experienced a profound transformation, including resolving deep-seated anger toward their father. Upon returning home, the narrator was surprised to receive a hug from their father, which felt like a gift. The experience allowed the narrator to let go of old emotional baggage and feel a sense of renewal. Caregivers need to take care of themselves first in order to provide adequate support for others. Chapter 18?The narrator and Joy had pre-arranged Robert's funeral before he got very sick and was hospitalized. The narrator struggled to balance their work, managing a mobile home park, visiting Robert in the hospital, and ensuring Robert's needs were met. Despite Robert's suffering, he remained focused on others and expressed concern for his friend's family who had also experienced loss.? Chapter 19 The narrator reflects on the viciousness of the AIDS disease, which had taken the life of his friend, Robert. Despite Robert's worsening condition, he was fortunate to have access to excellent medical care and insurance, which eased his financial worries. Robert also faced emotional turmoil, including the division of his church, but the narrator relied on their faith to support him during this difficult time. Chapter 20 The narrator watches a shamanic practice on Robert to help relieve his chronic pain. The shaman uses crystals and hands-on healing to alleviate Robert's pain, and the narrator is amazed when his whole body is lifted off the massage table by a wave of energy. Although the experience challenges the narrator's beliefs about traditional medicine, they learn that healing is a natural part of each person and is based on love, and that healing does not necessarily mean a cure. Chapter 21 Robert's employers, despite their generosity in caring for his medical needs and promising him lifetime income, showed ignorance and fear towards AIDS by suddenly taking back their loaned furniture. Despite the anger and frustration of the situation, Robert found positivity in it and used it as an opportunity to buy a leather recliner he had been wanting. During a poignant moment on Valentine's Day, the narrator realizes that Robert's love is the purest love of their life, and that love in any form is a healing force. Chapter 22 As Robert's health continued to decline, his insurance provided a housekeeper, which eliminated the need for Robert's Rainbow to be there 24/7. Despite Robert's declining health and fading mind, he retained his sense of humor. Robert helped the narrator's son David improve his grades by having him make a commitment to himself and read it aloud, which David initially failed. However, after several tries, David successfully read his commitments aloud and it changed his life forever. Chapter 23 Robert had given a sermon about his trip to Nepal, where he overcame his fear of "tigers" in his life.

Chapter 26 The narrator volunteers to take Robert's brother and nephew to dinner while Joy stays with Robert. During dinner, Robert's nephew asks the narrator how he is able to take care of Robert and still manage his own life, which prompts the narrator to realize that his life experiences have prepared him for this task.

Chapter 28 The narrator goes to a Lifestream program, leaving his dying friend in the care of others. Despite feeling guilty, he focuses on dealing with his anger towards his sister, which he believes has affected his relationships with women. He sees this as a critical challenge to grow with fear or let fear define his path of action, and hopes to become fully conscious during his journey through Lifestream. Chapter 29 The narrator attends a weeklong seminar at a spiritual retreat center with the goal of ridding themselves of anger towards their older sister. They also find themselves dealing with their fear of their mother, father, and Robert's impending deaths. During an exercise, a crow appears and the narrator feels a sense that Robert is present. This marks the beginning of a series of coincidences that occur over the next month. On the last day of the seminar, the narrator and their friend perform the song "I Can See Clearly Now," which becomes the beginning of the magic that occurs with Robert as he nears death. Chapter 30 The narrator visits Robert, who was just released from the hospital and questions him about a workshop they attended. Robert tells him that he already has everything he needs inside him, and that living life and giving of himself is what life is about. This realization leads the narrator to understand that he has been searching for answers in external sources instead of recognizing the power within himself. He realizes that his time spent with Robert has been the best training he could have asked for. Chapter 31 Robert asks the narrator what commitment he was willing to make to him, to which the narrator responded that he would write a book about their journey together. Robert asked for a deadline, to which the narrator replied August 31, 1993, and the book would be called The Zebra Hunter. Robert then asked the narrator to make a contract between himself and the universe about his commitment, which they both signed, leaving the narrator unsure of what he had gotten himself into. Chapter 32 The narrator faces the difficulties of caring for a terminally ill Robert, whose body was deteriorating rapidly. Robert's nephew came to visit but left soon after. Robert made a list of gifts for everyone and gave the narrator his car, a VW Quantum, which Robert said represented the quantum leap in consciousness that the narrator had taken during their time together. Chapter 33 Robert's Rainbow members gathered for a ceremony in Robert's apartment as he was coming to the end of his life, and each person shared what Robert meant to them. Robert was weak but told a story, teaching lessons about life. The ceremony was a touching and life-affirming experience for everyone in the room. Chapter 34 After Robert's health declined, he told the narrator he was ready to die and they shared a special night together. The next morning, the narrator and his son David saw a zebra statue and later at a friend's farm, saw children playing on an inflatable zebra. The narrator wondered if this was a sign from Robert, who wanted to create a world of "Zebra Hunters" - people who help and love others. The narrator realized he had promised to finish Robert's book by August 31st and felt overwhelmed at the time pressure and effort needed in order to keep the promise. Chapter 35 The narrator goes to Robert's apartment and notices signs of his body shutting down. Despite wanting to care for Robert at home, the narrator eventually surrenders to the fact that he cannot keep up with the physical demands and Robert is admitted to a hospice. Chapter 36 After feeling guilty about not being able to care for Robert at home, the narrator visits him in the hospice and sees a picture of zebras. The narrator shares the significance of zebras with the nurses. Robert utters some puzzling yet comical last words before slipping into a coma. The narrator finds peace knowing that Robert would join the zebra herd in the pictures one last time. Chapter 37 Robert had been in a coma for two days when his Rainbow group gathered to say their goodbyes. Even in his comatose state, Robert continued to teach on a spiritual level. After fulfilling his caregiving responsibility, the narrator left Robert to pass over to spirit. Robert's brother and nephews arrived too late to see him alive, but a party in his remembrance helped to bring emotional closure for all those who had loved and cared for Robert. Chapter 38 The narrator attended both Robert's funeral and David's birthday on the same day, which made the occasion even more meaningful. The funeral ceremony was beautiful and included music, a reading, and the narrator fulfilling their commitment to sing a song. The narrator broke down emotionally, but their willingness to cry helped others to feel permission to grieve as well. Chapter 39 After the death of Robert, the narrator began seeing zebras everywhere, but dismissed it as a coincidence. However, hearing the song "I Can See Clearly Now" on the radio weeks later brought a profound feeling that Robert was with them, leading the narrator to believe in life after death and the existence of a higher power. Despite initial doubts, the narrator now sees more clearly than ever before. Chapter 40 The narrator feels relieved to have finally written the book promised to Robert, which contains valuable lessons learned from caring for a terminally ill man. The book is intended to inspire action and help those affected by AIDS, and the narrator urges readers not to wait until it's too late to do something. The narrator ends with some final words from their time with Robert.
