Everyday Connection

After a twenty-year diverse, engaging, career in the field of Telecommunications the time had come for change. This exciting and challenging career provided financial security as the ability to employ a unique genre of creative writing. As fulfilling and stimulating utilizing these tools, my dream of writing novels was not realized. Four years ago a long-time friend suggested I return to writing novels. I had not written a novel in many years (that body of work, waits in my desk drawer for renewed attention). The following day I was in front of my computer. The first novel in the series took flight. The innate passion of my life was reborn. It was my plan to write one thought-provoking novel until the same friend suggested a second novel. Now there are five in this series. The sixth and final of the series is in its first draft form. I have four lovely dogs that sleep or play in my office as I work. Two of these little beasts are Yorkshire Terriers, Sammy and Chloe the other two, miniature dachshunds, Barney III (long story) and Cecil. There are two beautiful young men who rush into my office from time to time, my sons. The additional passions of my life is working out each morning, meditating each afternoon and the gift of laughter. All of which are necessary when I sit in front of the computer and create “Political Thrillers”. I neglected to mention my manic consumption of six to eight bottles of spring water daily. Thank you for exploring “The Lighthouse Keeper Series”. It is true, “Nothing in this world ever happens by mistake”, and when it happens it is always for our benefit. http://www.teriraes.com/

He has been honored as Lawyer of the Year by Best Lawyers in America and California Attorney of the Year by California Lawyer Magazine.

With his colleague, Laurel Kaufer, he has trained more than 200 men and women inmates to be peacemakers and mediators within their prison communities. The results have been astounding. Violence has been reduced, lives have been transformed, and inmates have regained their humanity. So many inmates have told Doug “If I had just learned these skills and this knowledge 20 years ago, I would not be in prison today,” that Doug decided to reach out to the free world. He has written a simple e-Book, called “How to Live a Centered Life,” and has created Negotiate a Centered Life, an on-line life skills and re-lationship course. In addition, he reaches out to middle schools and high schools to teach young people the essential life skills that will guarantee centered lives and strong relationships. As Doug says, “If I can teach murderers to be peacemakers, imagine what I can do for everyone else.” Doug hosts his own radio show and has appeared as a guest on hundreds of local and national radio and television shows. http://negotiateacenteredlife.com/

Bruce Davis, Ph.D. was trained as a psychologist but discovered early that true happiness is not possible without a meaningful spiritual life. Through the years he traveled and lived in many cultures in different parts of the world. But it was in Assisi, Italy, the historic home of Saint Francis and Saint Clare, that he found a peace and inner path which seemed universal in its language and presence. After years of bringing groups to Assisi, Bruce and his wife, Ruth, decided to live in Assisi. In the spirit of Saint Francis, they created The Assisi Retreat Center with altars to all the world’s major religions. Their center was given an official blessing by Pope John Paul II. The Assisi Retreat Center was listed as one of the top ten meditation retreats in the world by Travel and Leisure Magazine. More recently CNN listed the center again as one of the top ten meditation centers in the world. After many years of leading retreats, Bruce found the main ingredients for personal transformation included spending time in silence, nature, and heartfulness meditation. The peace and quiet of silence helps people to discover an inner presence in the heart that is lost by many in our busy world. Since creating the Assisi Retreat Center, Bruce and Ruth have started Silent Stay, a retreat center near Napa, California. Bruce is the author of several books including: The Magical Child Within You, The Heart of Healing, Monastery Without Walls, My Little Flowers, The Calling of Joy, and Simple Peace-The Spiritual Life of St. Francis of Assisi. Bruce is also a frequent contributor to the Huffington Post. For more information about Bruce’s and Ruth’s current activities visit their website at:www.SilentStay.com.

John Rachel has a B. A. in Philosophy, has traveled extensively, is a songwriter and music producer, a left-of-left liberal, and has spent his life trying to resolve the intrinsic clash between the metaphysical purity of Buddhism and the overwhelming appeal of narcissism. Prompted by the trauma of graduating high school and having to leave his beloved city of Detroit to attend college, the development of his social skills and world view was arrested at age 18. This affliction figures prominently in all of his creative work. He is author of eight novels, four of which are coming out in 2014 and 2015. He has also had over 30 short stories, 7 poems, and numerous political articles published in both print and online magazines. Currently in development is a new novel set in Japan, another in Africa, and a creative non-fiction work, allegedly an account of his extensive travels, but more likely the product of the voices in his head which have plagued him since puberty. Author Rachel has been traveling through and living in over twenty-six countries since leaving America August of 2006. He is now somewhat rooted in a small traditional farming village in Japan near Osaka, where he proudly tends his small but promising vegetable garden. http://jdrachel.com

Journey from the banks of a prolific gold-bearing river named Hell to a last will and testament whose century-old riddle led explorers to an uncharted area of Ecuador in a futile search for high-grade emeralds: the Green Fire. EXPEDITIONS propels you on a thrilling journey into Lee Elders’ search for this treasure in the world of the Untsuri Shuara, the headhunters of the Western Amazon. In the mid-sixties, the adventure of discovery was the enticement that drew Lee to this wild lawless land; the supernatural world of the Shuara that live in a mystical realm of ayahuasca-induced visions where the ethereal world is encased within our third dimensional reality. Lee’s search for the Green Fire spanned years that were filled with insurmountable odds. Unpredictable weather, raging rivers, precarious jungle trails and dangerous predators proved formidable opponents, but those and other perilous obstacles didn’t deter him. This is an amazing true story. LEE ELDERS was destined to be an investigator/adventurer. Born in a railroad house in Bowie, AZ, he was raised on the Apache reservation near San Carlos where his pet was a coyote and his mentor an Apache medicine man who helped forge Lee’s resolve during his EXPEDITIONS in Ecuador.

Teal was born in Santa Fe New Mexico in the year 1984. Teal was born with extrasensory abilities. Among these abilities she was born with were clairvoyance, clairsentience, clairaudience, the ability to manipulate electromagnetic fields and the ability to communicate with thought forms. Her parents, who were both Wilderness Rangers, later accepted a job in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest of Utah, not knowing at the time about the intensely religious climate of the location. Word of her abilities got out very quickly and were not only frowned upon but feared by many in the religious community. It was because of Teal's extrasensory abilities that she was inducted as a child into a local cult by a family acquaintance, where she was routinely ritualistically tortured and programmed for a period of thirteen years. She managed to escape from the cult when she was 19 years old. Since then, Teal has become a "spiritual catalyst" both accepting and utilizing her abilities to remind people of the united, energetic nature of this universe and to teach people how to find bliss in the midst of even the most extreme circumstances.          http://www.thespiritualcatalyst.com/

Devra has been a professional intuitive life coach for over 30 years. Her unique connection with Archangel Michael, since the age of 6, provides a multidimensional view of what is happening in someone’s life.  She does not channel Michael... he speaks directly with her. Many times in readings other people’s spirits, guides, or relatives that have passed over will also give her information and join in. She does not use any physical tools, such as cards, so there are no predetermined outcomes. Devra and Michael read your energies, guides, spirits, and occasionally your loved ones who have passed over. With this approach your reading shifts as you shift. The moment you change what you are thinking the dimension of the reading changes, too. She hears the words from Michael and your assistants and relays them directly to you. Devra has studied and worked with what she describes as Dragon Energy for the last 18 years. She says, “Dragons are a major part of the spiritual world that time has forgotten or have been ignored as simple folk lore. They are strong, powerful, and present in our lives if you just tap into their energy.” The ancient Celtic and Druid traditions understood that the god/goddess spirit created dragons to do good works.” Devra believes through this teaching that there are 72 pleats of time going on simultaneously, in what many call multi-dimensional living. A gift of using dragon energy is the ability to move with a person through those pleats as they shift in thought and action during a reading. Most importantly Devra is a real person living in the real world. She’s direct and says exactly what she hears. Her goal is to provide you with information that will allow you to move ahead in all facets of your life. www.readingsbydevra.com

Julian is one of the pioneers of UK organic farming, commencing the conversion of his farm in 1975. He joined the Soil Association board in 1984 and campaigned vigorously for the widespread introduction of organic farming methods at a time when this system was not known. Julian achieved notoriety when he brought a cow up to London (Hyde Park Festival of Farming) and demonstrated vociferously against a government attempt to ban unpasteurised milk. Julian went on to develop his farm as a mixed organic enterprise selling all its main produce locally, while refusing to sell to supermarkets. He developed a theory of local production and consumption which he named “The Proximity Principle.” His advice has been sought by local authorites, development agencies and government. Julian has written and broadcast extensively and has just completed a book “Changing Course – For Life”, about the radical changes needed to bring new hope to society. He started his career in drama, but took-on the Hardwick Estate (and Baronetcy) on the premature death of his brother and father in the late 1960s. He is an environmental activist and a defender of peasant and family farming traditions throughout the world. http://www.julianrose.info/

When I was two years old, I told my mother that I wanted to go home, “home” meaning back to the Divine.  I have always been very intuitive and able to “see through” people, sensing their deepest desires, dreams, and fears.  However, I resisted my mother’s attempts to get me into her spiritual practices, and in my teens I rebelled against what I considered to be her “airy-fairy bullshit.” At 15 my mother sent me to learn yoga to calm me down, and at my first Holotropic Breathwork session at 19, I learned to meditate.  After seeing the obvious benefits, I decided to start my own practice.  When I was 22, I cracked open a yoga book called The Five Tibetans, which my mother had given to me at 17 but had sat on my bookshelf, untouched, for years.  Thus began my lifelong practice of the Five Tibetans, which I believe to be a source of youthfulness. Also at that time I began to practice yoga and open eye meditation with a group of Buddhist monks at the Kanzeonji Non-Sectarian Buddhist Temple in Mt. Washington, California.  I once meditated for 7.5 hours with my monk friends.  I was invited to become a member of their temple, which is a huge honor only bestowed upon those who practice with intense regularity and sincere integrity.  If you hear me talk about my Osho, I am referring to the Master of the Kanzeonji Temple.  He still tries to get me to learn how to stand on my head, which one day, I will. In 2000 I traveled to Tibet and began my studies to become a Spiritual Counselor under the great OC Smith, founder of The City of Angels Church of Religious Science. In 2002 I obtained my Professional Practitioner license. http://chinabrooks.com/blog

Jan in her own words: First and foremost, I am a mother and grandmother. I formed my opinions about life at an early age and they haven’t really changed much since then – I believe war does not create lasting solutions, love will be the real revolution, and the human heart can expand until it holds love for the whole world. I have been a teacher, a newspaper columnist, a bank teller, a house cleaner, an executive director of a non-profit dedicated to education advocacy, a diversity trainer, AIDS activist, a group facilitator, and a waitress. Whatever it took to raise 5 kids and remain true to my values. I can’t carry a tune, but I love to sing and don’t know any steps, but I love to dance! I have always used writing as a way to reflect on my own life and as a way to examine life's big questions. I have just started blogging recently. Mostly I have been concentrating on fiction and poetry. I CALL MYSELF EARTH GIRL is my first novel. http://www.icallmyselfearthgirl.com/

Imagine working in the City of London and being told “You know much more about intuition than those who are teaching it.” Suzanna Axisa’s reply was an immediate “I don’t do intuition!” But ten years later her passion for problem-solving, morphed into a passion for coaching others to recognise, trust and use their intuition with confidence, so that they can become the very best version of themselves! Her personal journey to understand how her intuition works, and her years of sharing what she knows with others, has made Suzanna a hands-on expert  in the very practical, everyday application of intuitive intelligence and she now calls it our very own Chinese Feng-Huang Phoenix. As well as coaching individuals and companies around the world, she is also the channel for Ascended Master, Lord Lanto, who was Lao Tzu – the father of the Tao - in a previous life. She lives in North East Italy, near her favourite city in the world – Venice. http://www.TheGapCoach.com
