His 2013 book \u003ci\u003eMindWar\u003c\/i\u003e introduces this solution and outlines its successive stages of implementation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinally a purely-initiatory work, \u003ci\u003eMindStar\u003c\/i\u003e, addresses the purely-metaphysical \"soul\" of human thought which \u003ci\u003eMindWar\u003c\/i\u003e [as a practical curriculum] omits, confronting the elusive questions of human divinity and immortality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnsurprisingly Dr. Aquino's fictional ventures - \u003ci\u003eWe Break the Sword\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFireForce\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMorlindalë\u003c\/i\u003e (\"authored\" by The One Ring) - all draw upon extensive political and philosophical principles in their telling. Both \u003ci\u003eFireForce\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMorlindalë\u003c\/i\u003e utilize the literary technique of parody in a serious, rather than humorous exploration and extrapolation of the original source.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdditionally Dr. Aquino has recovered and Edited a collection of childhood poems by his mother, Betty Ford: \u003ci\u003ePegasus in Pinfeathers\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAll of these books are available on Amazon in both printed paperback and Kindle ebook editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 492\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 13, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47246348386553,"sku":"9781533264398","price":25.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/aWZTY01iUzE3Y05oVWN1UWtXTy9IQT09.webp?v=1768616536","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/fireforce-a-star-wars-parody-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
