Staying in the Eye of the Storm |
Coping in Challenging times
For those of us keeping an eye on what's driving the world rapidly mad, it is increasingly difficult to hold to a state of equanimity when so much triggers us to react. It's difficult, but absolutely essential if we are to cope with life. The Mayan Calendar tells us that it's not time that's speeding up, but rather the speed of creation. What used to take years is now taking weeks, and might even take only days in the years ahead until 2012. What will save us? The answer is; our intuition. How do we access that? By staying in the NOW and listening to the still small voice behind one's ear. Our authors have some valuable insights into what's going on and how to deal with it!

Here and Now
Meditation makes you spacious, it cleanses all your senses. It makes your sensitivity so sharp that the smallest fragrance passing by your side, and you will immediately get it. Just a small sound, even the sound of silence, will be heard so loudly and so clear.
We are living in trivia and all that is great in existence we are missing. Only a man of no-mind, a man of enlightenment, knows what beauty is, what joy is, what ecstacy is. And the moment you know what ecstacy is, you know you don't need any God, you don't need any commandment, you don't need any discipline. Everything comes out of your no-mind, fresh. You live for the first time in freedom, without bondage. From Osho Fragrance published by Kima Global 2006

Multi-Dimensional Thinking |
Handling your thoughts and emotions
We are faced daily with situations which affect us and threaten our peace of mind. Some are of a personal nature, but many relate to the nation or even the world as a whole. For example the high cost of living, unemployment, the spiraling crime rate, corruption, as well as global issues such as wars and political upheavals. Although it is important to take note of these issues, allowing your mind to continually fill up with negative thoughts and intense emotions such as fear, anger, rage, frustration and resentment is not helpful to your emotional well-being and self-development. An important part of emotional wellness is being able to maintain an inner stillness, balance and control. This is not achieved by pure will power or by avoiding life's important challenges, but rather by consciously by being able to let go of unwanted thoughts and emotions. Extract from Multi-Dimensional Thinking by Jimmy Henderson.

The Power of Now and the Power of Letting Go
There is a reality that we only ever live in the moment of the NOW. What is totally awesome about these words is the fact that no matter how you and I wish, beg or dream of being able to turn back the clock of time, the reality is that what has happened cannot be erased; it has happened. We often wish to erase traumatic events and suffering in our lives and we wish for it all to be different. No matter how much you think about the event, it does not change the fact that it happened. However, spend some time finding a way to move forward from this holding on. Learn to embrace the past as a teacher because suffering, disappointment and failure are essential to personal growth. The true power is in how you deal with these traumas, failures, mishaps and mistakes. Do you choose to be a victim or a survivor? From Operation Self-transformation by Lyndel Daly

World Changes and being in the present moment
<You are both standing at the doorway of great changes, in your personal as well as your community lives> stated Powah.
"Kitty, ask about these changes" but before Ingrid could touch the keyboard the screen reacted instantaneously.
<The best for both of you is to be fully in your present moment. The joy you and Toon feel is the key you must cultivate together. This relaxed flow that feeds you both is an ecstacy of inner bliss which is the eternal presence within, which has always been there! Such a state of consciousness will allow you both to enjoy the speeded-up energy currents and will heighten your awareness. This frequency of higher currents will sweep through the Earth during the expansion of the non-time interval>
The words of Powah extracted from The Awakening Clan by Nadine May

New Submissions
We still consider unsolicited manuscripts and this is rare in the publishing world these days. We do this in case we miss what might become a classic or a true gem of wisdom. In general we like to encourage and support debut writers to become successful authors. If you are inspired to become one, then please visit our website and go to the "Get published" button.(Link below at the end of the article.) There you will find comprehensive guidelines as to the process, the responsibilities and the rewards.
We see the marketing of our books as a joint venture between the author and ourselves; co-operative but not co-dependent. We have found to our cost that authors who (for whatever reason) withdraw their energy from their book results in a drastic drop in sales of that book; and that harms us both. On the other hand if the author helps to actively promote their book, a lot can be achieved. The big successes in publishing such as Rich Dad, Poor Dad and the Chicken Soup Series all got there because of the consistent efforts of the authors backed up by the publisher. |
