“…There isn’t anything that we don’t have a relationship with! Many of the types of relationships I mentioned are ones we are born or directed into. Then there are those we personally find our way to or they find their way to us. This is where friendship comes in. Among the most important and influential people we have in life are those we call our friends. We choose our friends!… Looking back, we can easily see how our friends were a supporting backbone for our growth and joy or how they might have become the ole ball and chain if we hadn’t realized they’d served their purpose and it was time to move on because the spirit of the relationship ran dry…“

“Just like the British television program produced by BBC, my father was a universal explorer who, through travel and the use of science and the metaphysics, time-traveled back into paranormal history. As with Doctor Who, he too, faced a variety of foes while working to save civilizations, help people, and right wrongs. He just did it on a broader scale in which he touched upon modernizing a huge portion of the research of the supernatural, entering into the beginning of the Spiritual Movement…”

” At the ‘What The Bleep Do We Know Prophets Conference’ in Santa Monica, Dr. Masaru Emoto, whose groundbreaking work was featured in the extraordinary film “What The Bleep Do We Know!?”, took us deeper into his new research into the nature of water.

Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese researcher, explains how he freezes different samples of water and then photographs their crystals.

“Robert V. Taylor’s riveting personal story and the stories he relates of others converge on the challenge to discover A New Way to Be Human, using 7 Spiritual Pathways to Becoming Fully Alive. Against the odds–spine surgery as a youth, anti‐apartheid activist, self‐exile from his native South Africa–Taylor becomes a priest whose coming out as gay prevents an opportunity to serve as a bishop but provides yet another opportunity to become fully alive! Thankfully, the friendship and inspiration of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace prize honoree, encourages Taylor to reject “victimhood” and embrace a winner’s attitude. Taylor’s philosophy grows from his life experiences and that of many others whose stories, deftly woven together, “coach” readers in overcoming adversity with grace and arriving at our destiny with dignity.”

“We emphasize that asana, the physical Yoga practice, is only one of the 8 limbs of Yoga as outlined by Master Patanjali in the great Yoga Sutras. These physical poses only actually “work” if the first two limbs, the Yamas and Niyamas (ethical practices), are followed. This means that we must live our practice if we want to experience its full benefits. We must take our Yoga off the mat and into the world. It’s something we must infuse into every activity 24 hours a day. So, all our classes go beyond the physical…”
