Daniel Lee has been an intuitive guide and counselor for over twenty years. He discovered his intuitive ability while being faced with the reality that his mother was dying of cancer. In an effort to find ways to help her, he carefully studied meditation and healing techniques and applied them diligently. During this process, he found that he had a remarkable ability to communicate with and be guided by 'Spirit' in ways that could hopefully transform the lives of others. Through meditation, he received a message from 'Spirit' and was told to write the information down and that if others are willing to listen, they will gain a greater understanding of who we are, how we came to be, why our world is such a troubled place and what we can do to positively transform the lives of every being on our planet. Within this message are guided meditations to be practiced and shared, designed to help us improve our daily lives.
I wrote three books about the life of Jason Wilde and his family. I have combined all three books here in this one book for the convenience of you readers. The first book, The Magic Lake, chronicles his life as he learns about love. The second book, The Wedding Virus, follows Jason as he graduates from high school and enters college and learns about life. The final book in the series, Fallen Angel, you will find out how Jason's life changes when he graduates college and begins a real life with a wife and children of his own. How will he handle it as life piles more and more responsibilities onto his shoulders? How will he handle the loss of family members and the realization that he is finally growing old?
Daniel Lee has been an intuitive guide and counselor for over twenty years. Through 'Spirit', he was taught some incredible things about the Universe and how we came to be, which led to the writing of his book: "To Imagine is to Create: A Message from Spirit." To help others on their spiritual path, he was given these meditations to use as tools for healing and transformation. Those who have practiced them have reported amazing results. Hopefully they will make a difference in your life.

The Cantonese Chinese were largely Toisanese peasant farmers from southern China and the original Chinese pioneers to the United States starting in the 1800s. Recruited as cheap labor to build the transcontinental railroad, they faced harsh discrimination and were viewed as an economic threat during the California Gold Rush. After its completion, they were omitted from the U.S. annals and the only national group ever to be barred from immigrating to the U.S. by the Chinese Exclusion Acts between 1882 and 1943. After World War II, they were then viewed as communist threats. As they migrated east to New York City, laundries and restaurants were the only occupations opened to them. They retreated to the safe havens of New York City's Chinatown or became the lone Asians in their neighborhoods in the outer boroughs. Their offspring are the voices in this book; they are the Chinese Americans growing up in New York City's Chinatown between the 1940s and 1960s, a generation sandwiched between post-World War II (1941-1945) and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. What was life in New York City's Chinatown like during that time? Their stories are a psychosocial account capturing the bonds, the family and community networks, the struggles and the resiliency of growing up Chinese in New York City. Their parents came from working in the rice fields of southern China to toiling as laundry, restaurant, and garment workers in the United States. This generation went on to become upstanding citizens working in professional fields-mostly engineering and teaching. As a group, their accomplishments and achievements were unsurpassed. Because there were so few Chinese Americans outside of the laundries and restaurants, their entry into many fields were untraditional and exceptions. They often became the "first". As Ted Ho, one of our participants, said: "And we did it in one generation!" Why this book about this group of ordinary people? Lest it be forgotten, we need to document these stories-struggles and accomplishments-of the early Chinese pioneers to the U.S. for the next generations. They grew up in a society intolerant of their differences-they were viewed as the perpetual foreigner and scapegoated by earlier immigrant groups. While the Toisanese were once the majority of the U.S. Chinese American population, they have been increasingly replaced by the Cantonese and Taiwanese in the 60s and 70s, by the Vietnamese Chinese in the 80s, and by "mainland Chinese" largely from Fujian province in 90s. This book is a psychosocial account of the resiliency and community networks amidst discrimination and assimilation in a bicultural world of Chinese Americans growing up in New York City in the 1940s-1960s-it is written in their voices. But it is also the story of all immigrants.

The SS Officer's Armchair is the story of what happened next, as Daniel Lee follows the trail of cold calls, documents, coincidences and family secrets, to uncover the life of one Dr Robert Griesinger from Stuttgart.
Based on documents discovered concealed within a simple chair for seventy years, this gripping investigation into the life of a single S.S. officer during World War Two encapsulates the tragic experience of a generation of EuropeansOne night at a dinner party in Florence, historian Daniel Lee was told about a remarkable discovery. An upholsterer in Amsterdam had found a bundle of swastika-covered documents inside the cushion of an armchair he was repairing. They belonged to Dr. Robert Griesinger, a lawyer from Stuttgart, who joined the S.S. and worked at the Reich's Ministry of Economics and Labor in Nazi-occupied Prague during the war. An expert in the history of the Holocaust, Lee was fascinated to know more about this man--and how his most precious documents ended up hidden inside a chair, hundreds of miles from Prague and Stuttgart.In The S.S. Officer's Armchair, Lee weaves detection with biography to tell an astonishing narrative of ambition and intimacy in the Third Reich. He uncovers Griesinger's American back-story--his father was born in New Orleans and the family had ties to the plantations and music halls of nineteenth century Louisiana. As Lee follows the footsteps of a rank and file Nazi official seventy years later, and chronicles what became of him and his family at the war's end, Griesinger's role in Nazi crimes comes into focus. When Lee stumbles on an unforeseen connection between Griesinger and the murder of his own relatives in the Holocaust, he must grapple with potent questions about blame, manipulation, and responsibility.The S.S. Officer's Armchair is an enthralling detective story and a reconsideration of daily life in the Third Reich. It provides a window into the lives of Hitler's millions of nameless followers and into the mechanisms through which ordinary people enacted history's most extraordinary atrocity.
