Understanding Spirituality, Anomalous Phenomena as life lessons (Life Lessons Series, #1)

This first volume of 'Understanding Spirituality, Anomalous Phenomena as life lessons' 30 random writings drawn from the true-life experiences of the Caribbean's most radical indigenous rights activist Mr Damon Gerard Corrie. Himself a Barbados island-born Lokono-Arawak descendant of the last Hereditary Shaman Chief of the Eagle Clan Arawaks of Guyana, South America, Damon lives between the Caribbean islands and greater Amazonia (of which Guyana is included within), and he has a unique perspective 'mental bridge' between the two very different worlds.

His writings in this volume cover a very wide range of subjects and is a treasure trove of his personal life experiences, which includes spirit guides/guardian angels, visions, dreams, visitations from the conscious energy of benevolent physically deceased loved ones, as well as encounters with malevolent non-human entities and physical manifestations of anomalous phenomena associated with both, astral travel, Animal spirits, shadow people, Old Haig, Canaima, Dai-Dai, the little people, numerology, as well as his personal insights into a wide range of issues and topics - from a spiritual perspective.

Autorentext

Damon, like his 3 older siblings, was born on the Caribbean island of Barbados. His mother Audrey named Damon after the American author Damon Runyon, and from a very young age Damon exhibited a passion and love for writing; however, like most aspiring authors Damon found it impossible to share his manuscripts with a broader audience (until he discovered draft2digital), so for over 3 decades his many works in many genres gathered dust on his bookshelf of unfulfilled dreams.

Damon is a 4th generation descendant of the last traditional Hereditary Shaman Chief Amorothe Haubariria (Flying Harpy Eagle) of the Bariria Korobahado Lokono (Eagle Clan Arawaks) of Guyana, South America, Moreover, the grave of Damon's great grandmother is the only known burial site of a member of Lokono-Arawak nobility in the entire Caribbean - and with a tombstone written in both the English and Lokono-Arawak language, it has become a tourist attraction in the Westbury Cemetery in the capital city of Bridgetown Barbados.

Damon has the gift of premonition dreams and being able to see and communicate with deceased loved ones, and since he married back into the tribe at the age of 19 in 1992, Damon has become the most radical indigenous activists the Caribbean has produced in living memory, and his real-life escapades and supernatural experiences feature in his writings.

Damon was a member of the Caribbean Caucus on the Indigenous Peoples working group of the Organization of American States (OAS) from 2000 to 2016, and helped create the Declaration of The Americas on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and he has been a registered participant of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) since 2007 (where he also co-mentors international students and writes for the Tribal Link Foundation), as well as being an autodidact journalist with news articles published in 4 continents, and a writer for the Last Real Indians indigenous media website.

Damon (46) and his wife Shirling (44) have 4 living children, sons Hatuey Francis (26) and Tecumseh Shawandase (23), and daughters Sabantho Aderi (20) and Laliwa Hadali, and all live in Barbados. Damon can be followed in Instagram @eagleclanarawaks
