Tales from the Known Kingdoms: Adventures in self-understanding by Lyn Taryn Tales from the Known Kingdoms: Adventures in self-understanding by Lyn Taryn Nov. 20, 2010 $5.99 172182 words Sample 10%
Author bio:
Lyn Taryn is an Australian psychologist who has spent over 20 years in active practice as a generalist psychologist and counselor, dealing with a wide scope of normal human dilemmas as well as specializing in relationship challenges. Over those years she has counseled thousands of people. So often there seemed to be a lack of understanding of core psychological principles and common patterns which accounted for much of their suffering. Explaining these clarified many of their dilemmas and helped them more effectively focus on where change was needed. She also noticed many people were using methods of Creative Imagination ineffectively due to confused understandings. Many also wanted to know more about 'what made them tick' or who they were - but didn't know how to start a process of self-development. These needs formed the impetus for her book 'Tales from the Known Kingdoms: Adventures in Self-Understanding'. Lyn obtained her psychology qualifications from Melbourne University in 1973. She also has a 'Certificate in Couples Therapy' through Relationships Australia and have done the basic training in relationship counseling of the eminent Gottman Institute in the USA. She has a 'Certificate in Grief Counseling' (Australian Centre for Grief & Bereavement) as well as Diplomas in 'Ericksonian Hypnosis' and 'Solution-Oriented Counseling' and 'Solution-Oriented Psychotherapy' (Centre of Effective Therapy). Lyn also holds Certificates in 'Critical Incident Management', 'Post Traumatic Stress Disorder', 'EFT' (Emotional Freedom Technique),'EMDR' (Eye Movement Desensitization Response) and 'Reiki' 1&2. She has also regularly attended workshops by local and international experts. Some of these have included training from Dr Michael Yapko, internationally renowned expert in depression, Advanced CBT (Prof. Menzies),'Healing from Family Rifts' (Mark Sichel), 'Sexual Desire Differences' (Dr Rosie King, Interpersonal Psychotherapy and Verbally Abusive Relationships (Patricia Evans). Lyn is a longtime member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS).

Author bio:
James Hackley just may be the most blessed individual you’ll ever meet. Despite a highly successful sales & marketing career that has spanned the last two decades, his true “calling” is touching the lives of others and inspiring them to want to change for the better. As a result of a major epiphany, James was able to lose an amazing 50 lbs of fat in just 4 months and has sculpted his 46-yr-old body into the best shape ever. He has learned to significantly reduce stress, quiet the mind and get in touch with his spirit like never before. As a result, he’s been able to free himself from a lifetime sentence of high blood pressure and high cholesterol prescription medications. More importantly, he’s been able to inspire those around him to do the same. In his latest release, Body, Mind & Spirit: The Awakening, James explores the root causes of why we overeat, refuse to exercise, live chaotic lives and fail to accomplish the goals that God has intended for our life since the dawn of time. This is not just another diet or “weight loss” (loss of fat and muscle) book. Diets simply don’t work, and James emphasizes how we need to be more concerned about “fat loss.” In fact, this guaranteed bestseller would be better categorized as a “Negativity Loss” guide: loss of negative fat, negative habits, negative foods, negative people, negative thoughts and negative actions. This guide arms you with knowledge and encouragement to put a plan into action to finally master the things that have long mastered you. Mr. Hackley received a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Longwood College, a Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Virginia, he’s chaplain of a local chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and an active member of Holy & Whole Life Changing Ministries International in Loudoun County, Virginia. He is the proud founder and CEO of Omega Consulting Enterprises, LLC and currently lives in Sterling, Va. with his beautiful wife Angela and their daughter Landon. He enjoys exercising, running, meditation, reading and simply being used by God. Contact Info: Omega Consulting Enterprises, LLC P.O.

White Eagle is a practicing Medicine Man who has been blessed by the Great Spirit Father with both Healing and Vision Medicine. Being part Algonquin and Arapaho, He carries forward a mixture of both traditional and nontraditional Medicine techniques. Ever seeking to serve the will of The Great Spirit, White Eagle endeavors to enable all of the Great Spirit's children to learn of His love and in the many ways in which we may allow His Light and Love to enrichen our well-being and lives. Ever in a constant vigil in seeking ways to serve the Will of the Great Spirit, White Eagle has left the normal order of the societies that we live in to walk totally the path of a Shaman in order to embrace and help in the initiation of the New Order of the Great Spirit's Will and Consciousness in humankind. In the last period of time much information about the coming events as pertaining to the reawakening of Spirituality has been provided to Him by His guides, or Angels so to speak, as well as by The Creator Himself in order to bring forth a new and heightened life in the Spirit of each of His creation. This document is a product of this endeavor as given by the Great Spirit for him to do in answer to his prayer for guidance in his daily meditation. As a Shaman, White Eagle is a Priest, Healer, Teacher, Visionary, Counselor, and Ceremonial Leader but perhaps most important, a Guide in the way of discovering the Truth and Perfect Child within each of us. In the traditional way a Shaman would give a person a Medicine Name usually around the birth time as a vision would be given them however, several years ago during one of his daily Meditations the Great Spirit said for him to start naming people with a Name that describes His Original thought as He Created each of them. This Name describes the perfect pattern of each self as He created them and describes what they not only have always been but also that which they are and ever will continue to be (or better said What Does not Need Fixing). The Medicine name as described by White Eagle helps us understand why we have certain likes or dislikes and habits that are most normal for us, as well as abilities in which we can easily excel and use in our growth. White Eagle explains the Name as well as its Medicine and tendencies but always reminds us that we are ever in growth as to become greater channels of the Great Spirit's Light and Love and to do this we are ever learning new Medicine to add to that of our beginning so as to please The Creator. This is our true desire of our inner child. In addition to the naming vision, White Eagle has also been given abilities in vision such as looking inside ones body to detect illness or infirmary, finding objects that are considered lost, going backwards or forwards in time as well as others. White Eagle has also been given the ability to Channel or so as to say, allow another person's guides to speak to them through the body of him as well as to channel his own personal guides in an advisory capacity about all matters current and past that are having an immediate influence on one. White Eagle lives in what might best be described as altered states and does not use or condone the abuse of any drugs nor of anything or of anyone. Another of the abilities that has been given to White Eagle is for him to walk in another's moccasins in a past life review in order to release carryover problems that often occur from past lives. This process takes several days to complete and the product is specific documentation and a channeled review. White Eagle's knowledge of the Spirit world also provides dream state interpretations as well. As a Healer, White Eagle has many abilities in working with energy, potions, and teas as well as Medicine stones. There have been many instances whereby he has cured someone's headache or hiccups with a single thought. White Eagle will also be the first one to thank another for healing themselves and as he says that he takes no credit but full responsibility in such matters as he only invokes the Will and Love of The Creator. White Eagle guides people in the process of meditation and from time to time holds workshops in learning the Medicine Wheel Way as well as about Plant Spirit, Animal Spirit, and Mineral Spirit Medicines and how we can use them to enrichen our lives. White Eagle sometimes kids around about being a Native American Ghost Buster, but know well that he takes these matters very seriously. Unlike some others, he uses the unlimited potential of Love to help in problems with discarnates, or entities, and possession as they are very dynamic in the well-being of all involved. White Eagle is not a Witch or Witch Doctor, although he has much knowledge about such things and will refuse any who are not aspiring to the highest ideal which is To Walk in Balance and With Harm to No One, Including Oneself! If possible White Eagle will record personal readings on cassette tape and asks that each provide their own tape for use. He says that one receives what they are willing to invest in any matter. He asks that each desiring a reading, prepare and bring a written list of questions to be answered for their own use, as he does not want to see them. White Eagle also makes many ceremonial items and personal items such as Prayersticks, rattles, shields, earrings, necklaces, as well as paintings. Often White Eagle will speak of only charging a commitment to change when asked about receiving money for his services. However, as all truly know, one must be willing to give something away to receive more of anything at any point in time. Gifts or donations of money or other things that might support the work will be welcomed by him. As White Eagle recognizes that in a respectful sharing way, those who have resources to share will be the first to benefit in the sharing process. However lack of money or resources are often manifestations of symptoms of other Spiritual dilemmas and he would never deny his services to anyone because of their lack of a comfortable money supply. Each one should feel comfortable with whatever they feel they should provide as it is a contribution not a fixed price. White Eagle sees it only as a contribution to God and the Church.

Martini was a Humanities Major at Boston University, attended USC Film School. His student short film "Lost Angels"[3] was the film debut of fellow Chicago native Daryl Hannah. Martini left USC to work for writer/director Robert Towne ("Chinatown," "Ask The Dust")[4] where he did everything from typing up Towne’s notes to walking Towne's Oscar nominated dog Hira. (Hira has the distinction of being the only dog ever nominated in the writing category; when Towne's script for "Greystoke" was nominated, he used the pseudonym P.H. Vazak, his dog's official name).[5] It was after that Martini wrote his first feature “My Champion”[6] which starred Christopher (son of Robert) Mitchum and Yoko Shimada (Shogun). He then wrote the Charlie Sheen comedy “Three For the Road” for Vista Films.[7] Martini directed a comedy short “Video Valentino”[8] shot by fellow USC alum John Schwartzman (DP of “Seabiscuit”) and produced by Jonathan D.

Butterflies Are Free To Fly: A New and Radical Approach to Spiritual Evolution by Stephen Davis Butterflies Are Free To Fly: A New and Radical Approach to Spiritual Evolution by Stephen Davis Sep. 30, 2010 Free! 118115 words Read a sample
Author bio:
In his sixty-five years, Stephen Davis has been (in chronological order) one of the co-creators of "Up With People," a Physician’s Assistant in the U.S. Army (Vietnam vet), a commercial airline pilot, an Arizona State Senator, an Aide to L. Ron Hubbard in the Church of Scientology, President of an international management consulting firm (WISE), Director of Development and professor at Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic, computer software designer, horse whisperer, and captain of a whale and dolphin research ship. He is the author of a number of books and won the George Washington Medal of Honor from Freedoms Foundation for his published article, "The Government Versus the Economy." In his own words… Like you, and many others, I’ve spent a lot of time in my life trying to find answers to some very simple questions:  Who am I?  Where did I come from?  How did I get here?  What am I doing here?  Why is my life the way it is? My personal quest began at age nineteen when I went to work with Edgar Cayce’s son at the Association for Research and Enlightenment in Virginia Beach. I took the opportunity to study as many of Cayce’s “readings” as I could from their original transcripts. From there I went deeper into parapsychological and psychic research, meeting and talking with such notables (at the time) as Dr. J.B. Rhine, who founded the first parapsychology lab at Duke University; Ruth Montgomery ("A Search for Truth"); and Lynn Schroeder and Sheila Ostrander ("Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain"). By the time I reached my twenty-fifth birthday, I owned a theosophical library of several thousand books. In the next decade I would become a personal “Aide” to L. Ron Hubbard in the Church of Scientology and achieve “OT6” status. By the time I turned forty-five, I had also dabbled in "A Course in Miracles," Urantia, Eckankar, channeling, Kundalini Yoga, meditation, Numerology, astrology, Tai Chi, Focusing, and Rosicrucianism. I read all the “Seth” books, along with Walsch's "Conversations with God" and Sitchin’s "Earth Chronicles." I attended numerous self-help seminars and workshops, tried "The Secret," listened to Abraham, watched "What the Bleep Do We Know," and learned everything I could from Peter Marshall, John Bradshaw, Sai Baba, Krishnamurti, Deepak Chopra, Eckart Tolle, and others. I even studied conventional religions — Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. — and at one time planned on becoming an Episcopal priest. In the end I still couldn’t find a satisfactory answer to even one of my simple questions — at least not an answer that worked well enough for me and everyone else to create a happy and fulfilling life on a continuous and daily basis. But I knew there had to be some grain of truth in most of these spiritual philosophies — sometimes well hidden and hard to get at, but some truth none the less. Yet no single philosophy or practice or technique worked for very long, or satisfied me, or produced the kind of life I longed for or believed was possible. Something was just a little “off” in every one of them that seemed like it wasn’t really true, and made both the “old-age” and “new-age” theories come up short. So I kept searching, putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle, using pieces from everything I had learned along this spiritual journey; and I began to scout a new path toward serenity of being. I now have those answers I so desperately needed and wanted, and the jigsaw puzzle is virtually finished. The result is my latest book, "Butterflies Are Free To Fly: A New and Radical Approach to Spiritual Evolution."

Author bio:
An embodiment of love, grace, compassion, and empowered with the wisdom of the times, forward thinking and dynamic in her approach and outlook, Anandmurti Gurumaa stands as a constant source of inspiration for all. She is a source of light to those looking for an answer, peace, wisdom, and unconditional love. Defying definitions, pragmatic, realistic, of liberal views, she is open-minded like sky and intense like space. Anandmurti Gurumaa was born on 8th April 1966. She had a wonderful childhood - when other children were learning nursery rhymes, she was listening to the philosophy of Vedanta. While other children dreamt of dolls and cars, she was learning the art of awakening. She was always seen meditating or sitting in silence. She travelled in different parts of India, finally settling in Rishikesh - a holy city on the banks of the Ganges. While in Rishikesh, she went into silence and wanted to remain in this state forever. However, the world needed her presence to show light to the mankind groping in dark; seekers were flocking from everywhere seeking guidance. Out of her compassion for humanity she came out of silence and began to show the way. At a very early age, life groomed her to be a master and a guide to seekers. Soon the fragrance of her spirituality spread and people from all over started coming to her seeking knowledge and guidance. She started travelling to address conferences, meet people and to give them guidance. Later she started her meditation retreats which gave her a working ground. Thousands of people would come to unlearn the worldly ways; to rise above dogmas and doctrines of religion. She simplified meditation for the masses and made it of such ease that no one ever felt that this path was for a chosen few only. As fish to water, so did poetry come naturally to her. Anandmurti Gurumaa has written hundreds of poems. She has also set them to music and sung them in her mellifluous voice. Anandmurti Gurumaa teaches the essential precepts that we must understand and internalize, if we are to progress on the path of spiritual understanding. A pragmatic approach of her teachings empowers the seeker with the wisdom to live with absolution. With her characteristic humility, Anandmurti Gurumaa says, “I have nothing new to offer in terms of words; but much to offer in terms of the essence of truth.” Redefining spirituality: Anandmurti Gurumaa says, “The Spiritual path is a warrior’s path where you have to wage a war against your own darkness, your own ignorance – not to fight with your own mind but to understand it so as to transgress it. It is like the seed that is always there but flowers only in the right climate, rich soil and with the loving nurturing of a gardener.” Gurumaa says she does not belong to any one tradition, religion, path or label. She considers herself a citizen of world and is not limited by narrow considerations. She is a free-spirited, transendentalist and is carving out a path-less path for seekers. She says that no guru can grant you enlightenment; no master can awaken your kundalini; one has to toil hard oneself in the presence of the master- but without making the effort seem a strain. Seek, but with patience; meditate, but without any goal; sharpen your awareness so that you rise above the ‘me-mine-I’ syndrome of identification with the self. Today Anandmurti Gurumaa resides in a beautiful ashram in Gannaur, Haryana, India. Ever welcoming to seekers; ever inviting to all; a hard task master who will not appease your ego, Gurumaa says, “People do not need a living guru; they need a look-alike guru, a toy. As one has to surrender totally to the guru, people, who love their selves so much, find it difficult to do so. Therefore most prefer to stay away!” Anandmurti Gurumaa is a living master who is so ordinary in her extraordinariness! She is a challenge to the intellect, a pleasing sight to the eyes, humorous, and a lively new age Buddha.

Author bio:
Having grown up in more humble circumstances, I was anxious to be successful in all areas of my adult life, especially the financial realm. I thought success would come easily, and that I was smart enough, talented enough, good looking enough, and charming enough that with only a little effort and lots of belief I would be able to move mountains. It didn’t work. While working a second job I was introduced to a personal development and mentorship group focused on creating success. I caught fire with wanting to learn about success, leadership, wealth creation, and personal development. I was excited to learn what I was doing wrong and how I could be successful. For several years I spent money on tapes, books, seminars, and presentations. I read websites, e-zines, newsletters, and emails. I got books and audio books from the library. I digested whatever I could get my hands on. I availed myself of what the gurus had to offer and was motivated to implement it. That didn’t work either. Rather than success untold, I had debt untold. Rather than happiness, I had frustration. I didn’t reach the success I was told I should have been able to and consequently I was frustrated and wondered what was wrong with me – after all, it couldn’t be the experts who were wrong. While I was seeking answers as to how I could be successful, I came across an idea that described how passion and financial compensation are tied together. The thought was that if you find your passion and exploit it, or share it, with the world, you will be making such a unique contribution to the world that it can’t help but compensate you financially for doing so. Wow! What a great thought! I immediately wanted to encourage others to share their passion with the world and help them achieve the success I also so badly sought. I had the idea to interview 21 ordinary millionaires to learn how they found their passion and thereby found their success. I wanted to use millionaires who are not necessarily well known to demonstrate that you don’t have to be a celebrity or athlete to live your passion and that success is closer than we think. One little problem with my grand idea. On the third interview I found there wasn’t a direct correlation between passion and success. But now I know the truth about success and I want you to know it, too. I also finally learned I'm anything but smart, talented, good looking, or charming...

Author bio:
My name is Aernout Zevenbergen (1967) - I am a professional storycatcher and wanderer, with Africa as my arena. As a storycatcher I do my best to capture what is out there as the ways in which people perceive their own reality, without thinking that any of those is something weird like 'the truth'. I use all the media at my disposal: text, internet, podcasting, photography and other visuals. I am a journalist, an author, a publisher and a designer. I act as speaker and give lectures. I use media to broadcast my own amazement at existence, in all of its aspects. My main theme is men: masculinity and what it means to be a man. Through my work, I learn. It is my hope that you, as a client or as a member of the audience, learn just as much as I do through the work I publish. Having my perceived securities erode by searching for the paradox in everything. Transcending contradictions of existence through living both, at the same time. Gliding up and down the rainbow of my own pre-conceived ideas and thoughts. These are my passions. They challenge and rip, soothe and rock, tear and build.

Her soulful music is inspired by Kirtans and a touch of Jim Morrison mixed with fairy dust. Over the years, her patients have usually found her through word of mouth and recommendations from people whose life and health has been uplifted by her gift of healing.

Slaying the Mermaid: Women and the Culture of Sacrifice by Stephanie Golden Slaying the Mermaid: Women and the Culture of Sacrifice by Stephanie Golden April 06, 2011 $3.99 98773 words Sample 15%
Author bio:
Got the Girl Scouts' Writer badge (the only one that interested me) when I was 12: that signaled the future. I began writing fiction, but discovered that what really compelled me was literary nonfiction--especially once I developed a way to use a central image as a method of analysis. An image constrains and focuses thoughts while allowing you to come at your material from many different directions without losing coherence, since the analysis acquires its form from the structure of the image. I used this method for both my literary nonfiction books: * For "The Women Outside," a study of homeless and marginal women, it was the figure of the witch. * "For Slaying the Mermaid," about women and self-sacrifice, it was Hans Christian Anderson's Little Mermaid. Literary nonfiction didn't pay the rent, but I like writing books, so I became a book collaborator and wrote five other books with experts. (For a series of articles on how book collaboration works, see my website: http://www.stephaniegolden.net.) And since for a freelancer diversifying = security, I started writing all sorts of other things: magazine articles, newsletters, reports for nonprofits, grant proposals, training manuals, and lately websites.

L’argent étant plus disponible sa consommation à continuée de plus belle dans la boisson, la cocaïne et les pilules pour dormir. Après avoir essayé à plusieurs reprises, seul sans l’aide de personne, de sortir de cette vie d’enfer, il a finalement trouvé la bonne recette en 1982 lors d’un stage de 28 jours, au centre de réhabilitation Hazelden, à Center City, dans le Minnesota aux États Unies. Cette recette, qu’il veut transmettre à ceux qui souffrent de cette maladie, en publiant son livre, lui a non seulement permis de sortir de ses dépendances mais aussi de vivre heureux depuis plus de vingt ans.
