God Exists But Gawd Does Not by David Ray Griffin

"God" has been the most embattled idea in the modern world. The lives of many people revolve around God; without God, they believe, life would be unbearable. Others regard the idea of God as the worst, most destructive, idea ever invented. The one group finds the evidence for God overwhelming; the other group finds the same for atheism.



The debate has centered around the idea of God as the creator of the world. Many philosophers, theologians, and scientists have assumed that, if we would simply add up the good arguments for and against the existence of God, we could reach agreement, one way or the other.



But in this book, David Ray Griffin argues that progress on this issue will be impossible unless we distinguish between two radically different ideas of a divine creator, which he calls "Gawd" and "God." Whereas there is overwhelming evidence against the existence of Gawd, there is also overwhelming evidence for the reality of God.



After looking at this evidence, the book illustrates the importance of this distinction for the issue of climate change.

Guest Biography:

Pippa Merivale – Founder of Metatronic Healing

Pippa Merivale, a natural healer with several decades of experience in client and group work, used a variety of natural healing techniques, colour healing and insatiable curiosity about the human mind and heart for many years to hold others through the kind of profound life changes that she had experienced in her own life, until Metatron ‘landed’ in her life and commissioned her to “dissolve the story from the body energetically”, following this up shortly afterwards with the promise that in our time “the heart centre of humanity will be awakened”. She is author of several books, certifies Practitioners in Metatronic Healing worldwide and is a popular guest on radio shows

In Sacred Medicine: the 9 Spheres, Metatron takes the essence of Ginger, Cardamom, Clove, Turmeric, Nutmeg, Cumin and many other spices and spiritual allies such as Frankincense and Bergamot to deepen the breath and lift the spirit, exploring different life areas through each of the 9 segments which the full Teleseminar addresses - the Body and Physical Vitality, Will, Courage, Passion, Autonomy and others, and into a dynamic field of Angelic Intelligence and Love. Our 9 chakras are in constant evolution and growth: in a sense, their spheres are gradually expanding towards their ultimate destiny of uniting within a great sphere of oneness, as we restore what has been scattered, rebalance what has been damaged, and remember unity.

10cc/Godley and Creme Legend Kevin Godley Releases New Book SPACECAKE on iBooks

Ireland – SPACECAKE chronicles the misadventures of a debauched and dangerous masochist as he tantrums his way through the sleazy worlds of Rock & Roll, music video and technology, each squalid escapade dragging him ever deeper into a repugnant maelstrom of sordid excess…well sort of. A wee bit, actually…not remotely.

It’s all about the work really.

If you don’t recognize the name, Kevin Godley was a founder member of ground breaking UK band 10cc. (Their single, “I’m Not In Love” continues to be one of the best selling records of all time). As one half of Godley & Creme he went on to pioneer the notion of music video as an art form and was responsible for iconic clips by artists such as Herbie Hancock, The Police, Duran Duran, Lou Reed & Frankie Goes to Hollywood etc, continuing to up his game in solo mode with U2, Frank Sinatra, Paul McCartney, The Beatles & Blur amongst others. KG thrives on re-inventing himself and SPACECAKE, his first book, takes you on an interactive tour of his life via pictures, music, film clips and 27 chapters of abstract insight into how everything from the first hits to WholeWorldBand, his music/video collaboration app, got made. It’s dark in some of the corners though…so make sure you bring a torch.

Kevin Michael Godley (born 7 October 1945, Prestwich, Lancashire, England) is a British musician, writer and music video director.

He was born in a family with Jewish ancestry, and went to North Cestrian Grammar School in Altrincham. His first band was Group 17 which had its origins in the Jewish Lads Brigade (The JLB). The members were Henri Shalam, Bernard Suffrin, Sydney Kaye and Jeffrey Baker, whose father may have inspired the “Sergeant Baker” character in the 10cc song, “Rubber Bullets”.

While attending art college in Manchester, Godley met Lol Creme and formed several bands, most notably Hotlegs and 10cc. After leaving 10cc, the two became known as Godley & Creme, both as musicians and music video / TV commercials directors. They won many MTV awards for their unique films and were jointly nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Music Video, Long Form for: The Police: Synchronicity Concert in 1986.

Godley writes, sings, and plays drums and percussion and in 1990 conceived and directed the TV music special “One World One Voice” that featured a global piece of music focussing on environmental and ecological issues. Godley also became a vegetarian during this period.

Both Godley and Lol Creme briefly “reunited” with their former 10cc bandmates Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman on the 1992 album, “Meanwhile”. However, Godley claims that their involvement with the project was very limited, as the album was dominated by studio musicians. He performed the lead vocal on “The Stars Didn’t Show”, the band’s tribute to the late Roy Orbison. It was the only song on the album not sung by Stewart. Following “Meanwhile”, Godley and Creme went their separate ways.

He reunited with another former 10cc member, Graham Gouldman, to record new music in 2006 as GG/06, and together they have recorded six new songs which are available via their website

Recently, Godley has moved into developing a music platform that combines audio and video to create a global recording studio in the cloud called “WholeWorldBand”. The company was nominated for the “SXSW Music Accelerator Award” in 2013 and was one of eight finalists selected from a pool of over 500. 

SPACECAKE, the book, is available for download from iBooks and can be read on any Mac iOS device.

Guest Biography:

"Many Facebook and radio audiences have sought Billy Hayes’ expertise for years without fully realizing the price he paid for his extraordinary expertise. Billy is known as “The HAARP Man,” the tower erecter whose entire life has been shadowed by U.S. government agencies and the defense contractors that work for them. Billy is an MK-ULTRA survivor.



His father worked for one of those government agencies and so Billy was made to spend several years at the juvenile reform institute known as the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, northern Florida. (In 2010, 30-some graves of “White House boys” were found during an investigation.) Dozier was finally closed in 2011 after 111 years of abuse, beatings, rapes, torture, and murder of students. A Department of Corrections prison was quickly constructed over it, perhaps to hide at least 150 more graves of boys killed. In the early 60's, Billy remembers drugs being administered and tested on students pursuant to profiling victims for MK-Ultra. In 1962, Billy left the school and was sent to Niceville High School in Niceville, Florida where he missed a lot of classes while being programmed and trained in electronics and electromagnetics MK-ULTRA-style.



In those early years of programming and training seminars, he encountered many names that listeners would recognize, such as Mark McCandlish, Jack Martin, Cathy O’Brien, Fred Bell, and Mike Ruppert. In fact, he maintained nearly daily contact with Ruppert until the night of his death." Fewer and fewer remain from Billy's early days.
