Mankind is a predator by nature and a hunter by instinct. I loved to hunt. It was in my blood. And I was now ready to head back to the bush, to hunt the biggest game in the world--man. With five tours of Vietnam and 257 combat missions under his belt, Navy SEAL Gary R. Smith has witnessed hell itself. DEATH IN THE DELTA covers his third and fourth tours in Nam. From Cam Ranh Bay to Nam Canh to night insertions into Cambodia, he served as SEAL adviser to volatile Vietnamese special forces, including the fierce PRUs (Provincial Reconnaissance Units), Biet Hai, and Regional Forces. Often accompanying their missions, Smith vividly captures the nightmare of a jungle war, whether staging sudden deadly ambushes or sitting silently for hours soaking in mosquito-infested swamps.It wasn''t pretty, but Smith makes no apologies for himself or his fellow warriors in this no-holds-barred account. For him, its a privilege and honor to pass on a small part of the history of the U.S. Navy SEALs experience as he saw it in Vietnam.From the Paperback edition.

"e;A Living Lexicon of Wholeness: The Language of Being"e; is both a book and a field of frequencies-a vibrational atlas of consciousness crafted through the lens of unity. This work invites the reader to rediscover language as a living current, a dynamic force that awakens remembrance and deepens connection to the essence of Being. Through ninety-six essential frequencies, the Lexicon traces the great arc of becoming: from Source to world, from form to Field, and from fragmentation to return. Each entry serves as a doorway, a portal into the living architecture of wholeness, designed to illuminate the unity behind all forms of life. Every word unfolds through four transformative movements:Essence: A distilled insight into the frequency of being. Embodiment Practice: An experiential bridge into the present moment. Resonant Trace: A poetic seed for contemplation and integration. Field Inquiry: Questions that awaken self-reflection and dialogue with the unseen. Readers are encouraged to experience words as living frequencies rather than static ideas. This is a book to walk with a companion for those who seek to remember themselves as language made luminous. A Living Lexicon of Wholeness is more than a book; it is a meditation, a conversation, and a mirror. It offers the opportunity to discover in each word a reflection of the One remembering itself through form.
