JOHN UND YONI
by Mike Carmel
JOHN UND YONI – Zwillinge – zwei Religionen, zwei Nationen, eine Seele von Mike Carmel Das Ergebnis eines verbotenen, stürmischen Liebesverhältnisses zwischen einer jungen Psychologiestudentin und ihrem verheirateten Dozenten 1979 sind die Zwillingsbrüder John und Yoni, die während ihres ersten Lebensmonats unfreiwillig getrennt und in verschiedenen Adoptivfamilien aufgezogen wurden. John wächst in Liverpool, England, im römisch-katholischen Glauben auf, Yoni in Raanana, Israel, im jüdischen Glauben. Im Alter von 21 Jahren treffen sich beide zum ersten Mal wieder. Beide sind streng gläubig, jeder in seiner eigenen Überzeugung. Als sich ihre ungleichen kulturellen Wege treffen, folgt ein interessanter Prozess gegenseitiger Entdeckungen. Eine fesselnde, anregende, amüsante und bisweilen widersprüchliche Geschichte entspinnt sich. Das Leben der Zwillingsbrüder wird jäh überschattet durch den Tod eines der beiden als Opfer eines Selbstmordattentats. Der andere Zwilling bleibt allein auf der Welt zurück, auf dem schwierigen Weg der Selbstfindung des allein gelassenen Bruders. Mike Carmel wurde 1956 in Liverpool geboren. Er studierte Wirtschaft an der Universität Liverpool und der Brunel Universität in London. Obwohl der Autor eine christliche Erziehung genoss, trat er 1980 zum Judentum über. Folglich bewahrt er einen tiefen Respekt für beide Religionen. Mike Carmel lebte in den letzten 25 Jahren in Israel. Er diente in der israelischen Armee als Sanitäter, war in der Softwareindustrie tätig und arbeitete in beiden Ländern als Pädagoge. 1981 heiratete Mike seine jetzige israelische Frau. Die beiden haben drei Kinder. Seine Tochter, der das Buch gewidmet wurde, wurde während ihres Armeedienstes 2003 bei einem Selbstmordattentat schwer verletzt

John and Yoni
Twin brothers - two religions - two nations - one soul!
by Mike Carmel
John and Yoni - Twin brothers - two religions - two nations - one soul! Mike Carmel The result of an illicit tempestuous affair between a young psychology student and her married lecturer in 1979, twin brothers John and Yoni are involuntarily separated during their first month of life and raised in different adopting families. John grows up in Liverpool, England, in the Roman Catholic faith. Yoni grows up in Ra'anana, Israel, in the Jewish faith. At age 21, they meet up for the first time. Both are devout believers, each in his own religious conviction, and an interesting process of mutual discovery follows as their diverse cultural paths merge. What follows is a captivating, stimulating, inquisitive, amusing, and occasionally conflicting story, which often verges on the bizarre. Then, one of them tragically ends his life as a victim of a suicide bombing, and the other twin is left to endure the harsh process of reinterpreting his personal identity, once again alone in the world. Mike Carmel was born in 1956 in Liverpool, and studied economics at Liverpool University and at Brunel University in London. Although the author had an Anglican upbringing, in 1980 he decided to convert to Judaism. He consequently maintains a deep respect for both religions. Working in the hi-tech sector, Mike has been living in Israel for the past 25 years. He served in the Israel Defense Forces as a medic, and has also worked in several educational capacities in both countries. Mike married his Israeli wife in 1981, and they have 3 children. His daughter, to whom the book has been dedicated, was seriously injured her army service by a suicide bomber in 2003.

John et Yoni
by Mike Carmel
John et Yoni - Deux frères jumeaux - deux religions - deux nations - une seule âme !Mike Carmel A la suite d'une relation illicite passionnée entre une jeune étudiante en psychologie et son professeur marié, en 1979, deux frères jumeaux, John et Yoni, sont involontairement séparés lors du premier mois de leur vie et sont élevés dans deux différentes familles adoptives. John grandit en Angleterre à Liverpool, dans la foi romaine catholique. Yoni est élevé à Raanana, en Israël, dans la confession juive.A l'âge de 21 ans, ils se rencontrent pour la première fois. Ils sont tous deux très croyants, chacun dans ses propres convictions religieuses, et il s'ensuit un processus intéressant de découverte mutuelle, alors que leurs voies culturelles différentes se rencontrent. Ce qui suit est une histoire captivante, stimulante, amusante, qui soulève des questions et occasionnellement des conflits, et souvent débouche sur le bizarre. Alors, l'un d'eux perd tragiquement la vie, victime d'un attentat suicidaire à la bombe, et son frère jumeau reste, pour endurer le difficile processus de remise en question de sa propre identité, se retrouvant de nouveau seul au monde. Mike Carmel est né en 1956 à Liverpool et étudia l'économie à la Liverpool University et à la Brunel University, à Londres. Bien que l'auteur fût élevé dans la foi anglicane, il décida, en 1980, de se convertir au judaïsme. Il conserva désormais un profond respect pour les deux religions.Travaillant dans le secteur de la Hi Tech, Mike vit en Israël depuis 25 ans. Il a servi dans l'armée israélienne comme infirmier et il a aussi rempli diverses fonctions dans l'éducation dans les deux pays. Mike s'est marié avec une israélienne en 1981 et ils ont trois enfants. Sa fille, à laquelle le livre est dédié, a été gravement blessée pendant son service militaire par un terroriste suicidaire en 2003.

Health & Personal DevelopmentSeptember 2021Loving, Lying, and Healing
Heal an infidelity and renew your love pacts so as not to suffer
by Tere Díaz Sendra
Is fidelity an agreement with an expiration date?Does infidelity always involve heartbreak and conflict?After we discovered an infidelity, is it possible to repair and restore trust?Living a committed and loving relationship is a deeply human longing. The issue ofinfidelity (a frequent love conflict) must be addressed by integrating thecontradictions and ambivalences of human nature, particularly on the topic oflove. Infidelity is a very complex phenomenon that is characterized by theexistence of a “villain” and a “victim”. Many times it is explained in a moralistic wayand that prevents exploring the motivations that drive it, the beliefs that supportit and the procedures that complicate it. Love requires commitment andcertainties, while erotic desire opens different paths within the same territory oflove. The correct management of these two forces is key to understanding andovercoming infidelity.

Health & Personal DevelopmentPhysics of Miraculous Healing
How Emotion, Mind, and Spirit Enable Unlimited Self-Healing
by Joseph Selbie
No disease is incurable. Extraordinarily rapid, miraculous healing is possible. Modern physics’ breakthroughs in quantum physics and M-Theory—along with scientifically verified phenomena such as the placebo effect and instant physiological changes undergone by multiple-personality sufferers—support millennia old spiritual traditions that suggest that not only is extraordinary, miraculous healing possible, but that we have innate soul powers—our emotions, personal beliefs, and our ability to connect to Spirit—that directly and powerfully determine our health and ability to self-heal.
