Now Bach is back with Hyponotizing Maria, an exploration of the nature of reality and the power of suggestions. It is a dramatic story of discovery, a story tale how-to for un-hypnotizing ourselves and for catching a glimpse of te one reality behind thekaleidoscope inventions of space and time. Bach still flies his own planes. In 1983, Eleanor Knowles Dugan was researching another project and discovered the fascinating 17th century French writer Madeleine de Scudéry. Madeleine was the best selling novelist in Europe for half a century, but had to publish under her arrogant brother’s name. Now, 26 years later, The Precious Lies of Madeleine de Scudéry: Her Admirable and Infuriating Life is finally complete, filling nearly 1,000 pages with the gusto and pathos of this incredible woman’s life.

Although school violence has decreased 25% in the last ten years, teen suicide is up by almost 400%. Bullying, including cyber-bullying, has become the latest rage extreme sport in American schools. More than one third of ninth graders are sexually active, with a growing percentage unsure of their sexual orientation.  Eighty percent of young girls report they are upset about their weight with 15-30% of all kids being obese.  Both boys and girls suffer from poor body images with increasing rates of eating disorders of bulimia and anorexia. The media is saturated with cultural messages focused on fame, money, beauty, and sex without the guidance and role models that help our youth become self-reliant. More than fifty percent of seventh through tenth graders indicate they use drugs and alcohol and inhalant use among eighth graders increased by 14% in 2007.  Reality television glorifies the wild debauched side of young people.  America is witnessing a growing epidemic of youth helplessness.
